My baby is two and a half years old. Daddy, hurry up and make some milk!

Le Bao spent her days busy and worried.

During this time, in addition to taking care of her father in every way, Le Bao also had to prepare for her Taekwondo exam.

From childhood to now, this is the only extracurricular activity that the little guy has persisted with and done very well in.

There was no coercion or insistence; it was all driven by her own passion and dedication.

She progressed steadily from the most basic white belt, enduring the tedious basic training and the excruciating pain of leg presses and stretches, and finally reached her current red-black belt level.

Today is the day of her long-awaited and crucial Level 1 red-black belt exam.

This is a crucial level bridging the beginner and advanced stages, doubling the difficulty and with stringent assessment standards. The requirements for physical fitness, techniques, and presence are incomparable to those of children's training.

As soon as it was light, the huge Lu family villa came alive with activity.

What used to be a quiet morning is now bustling with noise and a great deal of activity.

Besides the Lu family and the Shen family, there was also Xiao Nanfeng's family of three.

In the living room, Le Bao was dressed in a neat and well-fitting white martial arts uniform, with a brand-new grading belt tied around his waist.

Her once round, soft, and adorable little face had lost its usual playful and lazy demeanor; her brows and eyes were tense, exuding a serious and solemn air.

Lu Chenyue sat in a wheelchair, dressed in simple casual clothes, his posture upright and gentle.

Even though the cast on his left leg hadn't been removed yet, he sat up early, his gaze tenderly fixed on his daughter, his eyes filled with expectation and pride.

He had witnessed every little thing Le Bao had done in his Taekwondo training over the years.

While other children cried and complained of pain or skipped class, three-year-old Le Bao gritted his teeth and endured the soreness of leg stretching time and time again.

While other children laze in bed and play on weekends, she gets up before dawn to practice her moves repeatedly with her coach.

Not only that, she would always pester Chaolu and Chaoyang to teach her techniques, and in her spare time she would repeatedly practice kicking, blocking, and stances, meticulously refining every detail of each move, without the slightest hint of being spoiled.

Countless days and nights of sweat and toil. Others only see her glamorous appearance today, but only her family knows how much stubborn resilience is hidden in this small body.

"Is your little one nervous?"

Lu Chenyue raised his hand and gently smoothed the slightly upturned corner of her martial arts uniform, his voice low and gentle.

Le Bao immediately tilted her head back, her little chest puffed out, and her dark eyes sparkled, full of confidence and pride.

"Don't be nervous, Dad! I'm amazing! I'm sure I'll pass!"

Her tone was firm, without a trace of childish bravado, but rather the confidence that had been built up day by day.

Shen Shilan smiled and stepped forward, bending down to pat her head, his eyes full of approval:

"Our Le Bao has been preparing for so long, we're sure to win, just play normally."

The elders from both families echoed their sentiments, offering gentle encouragement as they surrounded the little one.

The three little brothers huddled together, their innocent faces tilted upwards, and shouted in unison in their childish voices:

"Hehehe, awesome! Hehehe, keep it up!"

In the lively and warm atmosphere, Le Bao nodded vigorously, his little hands clenched into fists, silently cheering himself on.

After getting ready, the group drove to the examination venue in a grand procession.

The city-level taekwondo grading center has a spacious and well-lit arena with standardized competition mats neatly laid out. The arena is filled with students who have come to take the exam and their accompanying parents.

The trainees participating in the Level 1 Red-Black Belt assessment were almost all teenagers, each with a tall and slender figure and strong limbs. There were also many adult enthusiasts who came specifically to upgrade their rank and take the exam.

They are tall and have a mature presence. Standing in the center of the field, they exude a sharp and efficient aura that comes from years of training.

The moment Le Bao appeared at the entrance of the arena, the atmosphere inside was instantly shattered, attracting the attention of everyone present.

She was a small, curvaceous figure, dressed in a loose yet neat martial arts uniform, and her height barely reached the waist of others.

With a round, childlike face, he stood out like a small bud among tall trees among a group of teenagers and adults, looking particularly out of place.

In an instant, hushed whispers rose and fell in the room, quietly spreading outwards.

"Whose child is this? They're so young!"

"He looks only five or six years old, what's he doing at the red and black belt exam site?"

"They're probably just parents who brought them here to watch the fun. The Level 1 Red-Black Belt is no easy feat; even adults might not pass it on their first try."

"I think these are just kids from rich families who came here to experience the fun. They're so young, their moves and stamina are simply not up to par. They're just going through the motions."

"They probably can't even remember the basic forms. This is too childish."

Whispers of doubt and light laughter came intermittently, carrying a clear sense of pessimism and disdain.

All eyes were on Le Bao, their eyes filled with disbelief and amusement.

No one believed that this seemingly soft and innocent little boy, who looked like he could be blown over by the wind, was a formal student who had officially registered for the Level 1 Red-Black Belt exam.

On the side of the arena, the Lu family, the Shen family, and Xiao Nanfeng took their seats, taking in all the doubts.

"Holy crap, today..."

Xiao Nanfeng, with his fiery temper, couldn't stand others talking about his own child.

He had just stood up when Lin Zhixia pulled him back.

He glared at Xiao Nanfeng, who was swearing, his eyes menacing.

"Sit down. If you swear in front of the children again, you're not getting into my bed."

"Let them say what they want now. Wouldn't it be more exciting if Le Bao were to slap them in the face on the spot later?"

"Zhixia is right, Nanfeng, please sit down."

Lu Jianguo knew his precious son's abilities and wholeheartedly agreed with Lin Zhixia's words.

Xiao Nanfeng could only sit down dejectedly.

The others sat calmly, showing no sign of urgency.

Because they all know that if the Taekwondo Association didn't have a clear age limit, the red-black belt would not be Le Bao's current goal.

With this little girl's talent, perseverance, and skill, she could have already reached a higher level.

What others see as an unattainable and extremely difficult level exam is, in the eyes of their family, nothing more than a routine test of Le Bao's daily training.

At this moment, Le Bao, standing in the center of the arena, completely ignored all the discussions and stares around him.

The doubts, disdain, and ridicule of others did not affect her in the slightest.

She stood straight, shoulders relaxed, back straight, her small body standing firmly, eyes looking straight ahead, her expression solemn and focused, already in a state of readiness.

While waiting for roll call during the assessment, she remained motionless, not looking around, her composure belying that of a child under six years old.

Soon, the chief referee, holding the assessment list, called out names on the spot in a loud and serious voice:

"Lu Anle! Entrance exam!"

As soon as the clear voice fell, the entire room fell silent, and all the discussions abruptly ceased.

Everyone's pupils contracted slightly, and they stared at the small figure in astonishment, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Is it really her?!

Is this little guy, who looks only five or six years old, really a candidate for the red and black belt grading exam?

In an instant, the expressions of everyone in the room became incredibly varied, a mixture of surprise, shock, and confusion.

Many people subconsciously rubbed their eyes, and some even began to doubt whether they had misread the list or misheard the names.

When did the world change? How can a child under six years old dare to challenge the Red-Black Belt Level 1 assessment, which is only for adults and seasoned teenagers?

Just as everyone was stunned and bewildered, Le Bao made a move.

At that moment, it was as if an invisible aura suddenly burst forth from her small body.

The chubby boy, who used to be soft, spoiled, and mischievous, has completely shed his childishness, and his entire demeanor has undergone a dramatic change.

With steady and brisk steps, she walked quickly to the designated position for the competition and stood at attention.

His back was straight as a pine tree, his chin was slightly tucked in, his eyes were sharp and clear, his gaze was firm and powerful, and his whole aura was dignified and upright. Even a basic standing posture showed the skill he had gained from years of training, without a trace of the laxity and naivety of a child.

The referee, a seasoned and experienced judge, was slightly impressed by the little boy's spirit and immediately gave the command in a deep voice:

"Ready, go!"

The moment the command was given, Le Bao sprang into action.

Punch, block, kick, downward chop, side kick, horse stance punch... every move is precise and powerful, with perfect angles and just the right rhythm.

Despite his small stature, he possesses astonishing explosive power. His punches are forceful and powerful, his kicks are crisp and clean, and his movements are swift and graceful, without the slightest hesitation.

Without the weakness of a child, every move and stance exudes the skill and composure honed through countless trials.

His downward kick was precise and swift, his side kick was steady and powerful, his horse stance was solid and stable, and his posture remained motionless, demonstrating a composure far exceeding that of the vast majority of candidates present.

The entire set of assessment movements was performed flawlessly, without any pauses, errors, or deviations.

After completing the entire challenging set of poses, Le Bao stood at attention, his posture upright and his breathing steady, showing no sign of panic. There was only a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his breathing remained regular and orderly.

The entire performance was crisp, efficient, and fluid, stunning the audience.

Deathly silence, utter deathly silence.

The entire examination hall was completely silent. Everyone stared wide-eyed at the small figure in the center of the arena. All the previous contempt, doubt, and mockery turned into utter shock and speechlessness.

Those candidates and parents who had been secretly mocking the children for being silly now felt their faces burning with shame and could no longer utter a single word of doubt.

No one expected that this seemingly most naive and least likely to pass candidate would actually be the most stable, best-performing, and flawless candidate in the entire competition.

The examiners exchanged glances, their eyes filled with admiration and amazement, and they all nodded and gave scores.

The scores are posted. Excellent results, passed!

Unsurprisingly, Le Bao easily passed the Level 1 Red-Black Belt assessment!

It wasn't until the referee personally handed her the brand-new red and black belt certificate that the entire audience erupted in enthusiastic applause and exclamations.

Thunderous applause resounded throughout the entire venue.

The respect and recognition I feel at this moment are sincere and fervent.

On the side of the stadium, the Lu and Shen families finally broke into radiant smiles, their eyes filled with pride and joy.

Their little darling never disappoints.

The next second, the fierce and sharp aura emanating from Le Bao vanished instantly.

The stunning, composed, and sharp young Taekwondo master has disappeared, replaced by a soft, chubby, and smug little boy.

Clutching the brand-new certificate tightly in her hands, her eyes crinkled into crescents, and a bright, proud smile spread across her face as she ran quickly toward the wheelchair not far away.

The speed was so fast and urgent that they completely forgot to control their strength.

"dad!!"

Before the joyful shouts had even faded, the little body crashed violently into Lu Chenyue's wheelchair.

The immense force struck instantly, causing the already lightweight wheelchair to lurch violently backward. The wheels slipped and veered off course, nearly causing Lu Chenyue, whose leg injury had not yet healed, to fall backward.

Shen Shilan and Xiao Nanfeng reacted quickly, immediately reaching out to firmly hold onto the back of the wheelchair, barely managing to stabilize their posture and stop the backward leaning.

Everyone was both amused and exasperated—the young prodigy who had just exuded confidence and composure on the field had instantly reverted to his old self, still the same impulsive and adorable little rascal.

Le Bao was completely unaware that she had almost overturned her father, who had just recovered from an injury, along with his wheelchair. She was still excitedly holding up the gold-embossed certificate and bringing it close to Lu Chenyue's eyes, her eyes sparkling with pure childlike pride and smugness.

"Dad! Look! I passed the test! Aren't I amazing?!"

She tilted her round little face up, her small lips curled up, eagerly awaiting her father's praise, her eyes brimming with joy.

Lu Chenyue steadied himself and looked at his energetic and radiant little girl in front of him, his chest filled with a warm feeling.

He raised his intact hand and gently stroked her soft, sweaty hair, his fingertips carrying a delicate tenderness. The doting affection in his eyes was almost overflowing, and his voice was gentle yet solemn.

"Yes, my sweet baby is so amazing. Daddy is so proud of you."

A simple sentence, yet it carries his heartfelt joy and heartache.

Outsiders only see Le Bao's current success and talent, but only her family, who are with her day and night, know all the hardships she has endured behind the scenes.

She would grit her teeth and not cry even though it hurt when she stretched her legs. She practiced the moves repeatedly until her arms ached and her calves were bruised. While others rested and played, she would quietly practice more, day after day, without ever stopping.

Her elders at home always felt heartbroken when they saw the marks of training on her body, and often advised her to rest properly and not to push herself too hard.

But little Le Bao always manages to act like a little adult and comfort everyone.

She would touch the palm of her elder's hand and say earnestly and firmly:

"I'm not afraid of pain or fatigue. I'll practice my kung fu hard so that I can protect my parents, grandpa, grandparents, brothers, and everyone else in the future."

Their innocent words, however, conveyed the most fervent and sincere sentiments, always leaving everyone with a bittersweet feeling.

At this moment, seeing the little dumpling holding the certificate with bright eyes, the crowd around her praised her, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.

"Our Le Bao is so amazing, achieving Level 1 at such a young age."

"That's amazing! Our little Le Bao is the best of the bunch!"

"To have earned a red-black belt at such a young age, that's truly remarkable!"

Praises rose and fell, gentle and sincere.

The three little brothers squeezed at the front, their little faces tilted up, their eyes sparkling with adoration as they stared intently at their older sister, their gazes filled with an unfathomable filter.

In their hearts, their sister is the most powerful superhero in the world.

Le Bao, who was praised by everyone, was extremely proud and proud.

She immediately turned around to face the three little ones who looked at her with admiration. She raised her little hands high, clenched them into tiny fists, deliberately put on a stern face, and spoke in a fierce yet endearing manner.

"See that?! This older sister is super fierce! And her kung fu is amazing!"

She waved the certificate in her hand, her little fist waving slightly, feigning authority:

"From now on, you all have to listen to your older sister! Otherwise, I'll give you a good spanking!"

The little guy's tone was deliberately fierce, but his eyes couldn't hide his little bit of smugness; he was both cute and domineering.

The three little brothers, seeing their sister's sharp little fists and serious expression, immediately stood up straight and nodded their heads vigorously.

In her small eyes, there was three parts timid restraint and seven parts undisguised fervent admiration; she was unbelievably well-behaved.

"Listen to me! Listen to what I say! I won't hit you."

Watching his daughter feign domineering manner and intimidate her three younger brothers into submission, Lu Chenyue, sitting in his wheelchair, chuckled softly, his eyes gentle, his heart filled with the tranquility and contentment of a peaceful life.

His little darling has grown up.

Not only did they learn resilience and self-discipline, but they also quietly grew armor, clumsily and earnestly wanting to become a safe haven for the whole family.
