Blood Assimilation

"Ah, nothing. Pay no mind to my words, I was only thinking to myself. But still, those are some useful abilities you got there. However, why can't we tell how strong or more precisely what type of energy you're emanating before?" Nathan suddenly asked him.

And he continued: "If you hadn't transformed into that state by which we could sense magical energy fluctuations coming from you, we wouldn't have known your energy type." 

When Randy heard this question, he immediately pondered for a bit, thinking that it was indeed very strange that his parents could not sense his energy fluctuation even with their level of strength. 

"Ah, about this I am not sure if it is related but I have a certain physique…" He said after pondering about it. 

"A physique?! Ahem, continue…" Nathan was initially surprised but urge him to finish his explanation. 

"That's right, it is called Myriad Energy Devouring Physique, and presumably, according to my system, it seems capable of absorbing all types of energy," Randy said to him. 

"What?!" Both parents were genuinely surprised this time, even Nathan could not keep his calm over this matter. 

'What kind of physique is that? To be capable of absorbing all kinds of energy, but how is Randy going to store all those different kinds of energy…?'

Both parents silently thought in shock and bewilderment.

Randy watched their reaction, he inwardly shook his head and then said: "Well, I know that it is very shocking to hear this because I was shocked too when I found out about this from my system. Anyway, I am assuming that it is the reason why you both can't tell my energy level or fluctuation? Then again, that is only my guess but… "

"No, you may be right about this" Nathan shook his head and said. 

And then he continued after thinking for a bit: "Perhaps, all the energies about by you emanate together, which prevent probing due to its chaotic nature… Unless you display the energy yourself as you did just now when you transform into that werewolf form, otherwise, it would be hard to tell your level of strength."

At this point, Riley also chimed in: "So you mean to say that you can somehow cultivate all types of energy? Or do you convert all kinds of energy into mana or something?"

"That's right, no, I mean the first one. It seems I can cultivate all types of energy. For now, I have magical energy, spiritual energy, Life energy, Psi energy, Mystic energy; these five are the ones that I cultivate at the moment." Randy answered as he emphasized by giving more details. 

When they heard this, both Nathan and Riley visibly took a deep breath and proceeded to stare at him, speechless.

They did not know how to respond to this as they were really baffled by this revelation.

'How could he have that many energies compatibility? And also, what was the last part, Mystic energy? Why haven't we heard of this one before or is it some new type of energy that we are unaware of?'

They proceeded to think to themselves as they continued to stare at him with a gawking expression. 

Noticing how his parents were not saying anything after so long, Randy suddenly opened his mouth and then asked: "Mom? Dad? What's wrong?"

'Why did they suddenly turn silent? This is getting awkward… As I thought, maybe I shouldn't have told them about this… At most, perhaps, I should have only mentioned two energies for now, but it is already too late now that I have said everything.'

Randy inwardly sighed helplessly and then silently thought to himself while looking at his parents' expression.

Hearing his concerned words, they immediately snapped out of their daze and suddenly Riley asked in curiosity: "Randy, what is this mystic energy that you mention? Is it a new type of energy?"

Nathan also nodded expressing that he too was curious about this matter.

"Uhm, well, according to my system, it was the soul energy but like I thought, even mom and dad have not heard of this before, huh?" Randy replied.

"The soul energy… I know that the soul had an energy that we all call the 'soul power' and other names, but I did not know that it can be cultivated…" Riley muttered under her breath.

"So that's what it is." Nathan expressed his understanding, and then he continued: "If you can really cultivate all the energy mentioned by you, then that is an unprecedented feat, and I can tell that your future prospect would be unimaginable."

After saying this, he paused for a moment and then solemnly said: "However, if you choose to cultivate them all, you will only waste your time and so, you have to pick the ones that you find suitable for you; cultivate the ones you pick so as to not waste your time during cultivation. Otherwise, you might have to spend decades or more just to cultivate all of them"

"I understand." Randy expressed his understanding as he firmly nodded his head when he responded. 

 "Anyway, go and change your clothes. Your mom had already prepared dinner and your little sister is in her room doing her own stuff. Once you come down, we will all begin eating dinner together." Nathan then said to him after receiving his response.

"Okay." 

Randy responded as he immediately made his towards the stairs leading to the second floor, and very soon, his figure departed from the living room. 

After he left, Nathan displayed a deep gaze at the stairs and then muttered: "This child… if only…"

However, he immediately sighed and did not finish his sentence.

Riley who was sitting next to him said to him: "Let us wait until he attends university and gets stronger enough and also accumulate enough experience. At that time, we can tell him then and as for the rest, that will be up to him."

"Hm, what you say also makes sense, but we have alienated him for so long that it is now strange to be amicable with him again.. Don't get me wrong, I honestly appreciated the fact that he did not hate us despite all that, but… Haah…" Nathan agreed with her and then said in a distressed tone.
