Gao Wu: Oh no! Young Master Zhen is a cultivator!

Lin Ran, on a sudden inspiration, came up with another excuse: "Could it be related to the awakening potion?"

"This..." Bai Zhenting looked at Lin Hongbo, seemingly unsure as well.

"No." Lin Hongbo shook his head: "The awakening potion only develops the genes in the body and will not affect the test results."

"Moreover, there have been many clinical cases where the test results of the injectors were all normal."

He said with certainty, "Although not everyone can awaken, without exception, all awakened individuals will have a stable talent level."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ran shrugged and said, "Then I don't understand."

Bai Zhenting pondered for a moment and wrote a few strokes on the record board.

"Let's register it as Class F for now. I'll report this to headquarters, and if the testing equipment is upgraded in the future, we can retest it."

"No need. I just need to know that I've awakened." Lin Ran said casually.

All he wanted was the identity of an awakened being.

As for specific ranks, they were completely meaningless to him.

Anyway, he wasn't planning on practicing martial arts, so his F-level talent and S-level talent wouldn't affect his cultivation of the "Myriad Treasures Spirit Forging Technique".

Perhaps an SSS-level talent is stronger than an F-level talent, and the cultivation speed may also be faster.

However, Lin Ran was certain that even an SSS-level talent couldn't match his speed in absorbing crystal cores.

The staff member next to them entered the test results into the system.

Lin Hongbo and Bai Zhenting exchanged a few more pleasantries before leading the Lin family out of the testing room.

Bai Zhenting escorted the person to the entrance of the hall, and the two said goodbye, watching the two cars drive out of the parking lot.

"That kid from the Lin family is indeed quite interesting."

Back at the Lin family villa, everyone sat down, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Lin Ran sat upright on the sofa and solemnly said, "Now that I have awakened my F-level talent, it should be of no use to the Lin family. Perhaps I should leave today."

"Why are you saying such things again, child?"

Song Yishu jumped up from the sofa, her voice urgent: "We finally found you, how can we let you leave?"

"I don't belong in this family, and I'm not used to living here even if I force myself to," Lin Ran said calmly.

Song Yishu took two steps closer and sat down next to him: "What's wrong? Weren't we getting along really well these past few days?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ran gave a playful smile: "Actually, not everyone thinks it's good."

"Brother Ran, stop talking. I know I'm the one who should leave," Lin Haozhe said in a low voice.

"I took over your life before, making you an orphan for eighteen years. Today I'm leaving the Lin family and giving your identity back to you completely."

"How can that be? Lin Ran, don't go too far!" Lin Zhiyao immediately stood in front of Lin Haozhe, glaring at Lin Ran.

"Haozhe grew up in this family; he's a part of it. You can't kick him out!"

Lin Ran looked completely bewildered: "Wait, can you two stop making a scene? I said I wanted to leave, when did I say I was kicking someone out?"

"Nonsense! What do you mean by 'leaving' or 'leaving'? Don't ever mention such things again!" Lin Hongbo's voice was utterly unyielding.

He looked at Lin Ran, his tone softening slightly: "I know you might still harbor resentment towards your parents. But what parent doesn't want the best for their child?"

"Back then, your mother woke up one morning to find you gone, and she almost cried herself blind. If she hadn't adopted Haozhe later, she might still be struggling to get over it."

At this point, a hint of sorrow crept into his voice: "Can you really bear to let her suffer the pain of losing her son again?"

"This..." Lin Ran frowned slightly.

He wasn't the original owner of this body, so even though they shared the same memories, he couldn't always empathize with the other person.

In particular, it allows his mature soul to accept the blood ties that were originally unrelated to him.

So until today, he had never thought that his departure would be unfair to Lin Hongbo and Song Yishu.

Lin Hongbo's words were a wake-up call for him.

If he were to simply leave, plunging the original owner's biological parents into grief, it would be as if he were betraying the poor soul whose body he had taken over.

Not to mention that he felt somewhat guilty about it morally, he himself also felt a little reluctant.

After all, the Lin family had treated him quite well.

They helped him transfer schools, provided medicine, and even donated ten million to the welfare home.

Although the two did all this for their biological son, it is Lin Ran who is enjoying it now.

Cultivation emphasizes the clarity of one's thoughts. If he cannot properly handle his current identity, he will likely find it difficult to extricate himself from the Lin family.

However, if he continues to stay in the Lin family and lives under the same roof with this family every day, his identity as a cultivator is very likely to be exposed.

Moreover, he would occasionally be teased by the Lin siblings, which would affect his mood, making it far less comfortable than being outside.

Before he could speak, Lin Zhiwan asked another question: "Now the whole of Xinhai knows that the Lin family has found their biological son. If you leave like this, what will others think of our Lin family?"

Lin Ran thought to himself, "This doesn't seem to be within my consideration."

Before he could respond, Lin Haozhe chimed in, "Yeah, Ran-ge, you're still Mom and Dad's son after all."

Seemingly sensing Lin Ran's worries, the usually aloof Lin Zhixia offered a suggestion: "How about this, let's make a three-point agreement."

"Just think of it as temporarily staying at the Lin family's house, treat yourself as a tenant, and we won't interfere with each other's private lives. In this way, it's actually no different from renting a house on your own."

Hearing her say that, Lin Ran couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

If they could truly avoid interfering with each other, that would suit his wishes perfectly.

But he also knew that such conditions were simply unrealistic.

His current identity is ultimately that of the Lin family's son, and over time he will inevitably be passively drawn into the Lin family's vortex.

Internal conflicts and external pressures—they can't escape either.

Unless he completely severs ties with the Lin family, the identity of the Lin family's young master is a label he can't shake off.

On second thought, even if he left the Lin family, those people outside wouldn't really treat him as the orphan he used to be.

Some people will try to please him, while others will target him; this situation will continue for a long time.

Until his own brilliance completely overshadowed the label of the young master of the Lin family.

After a moment's hesitation, Lin Ran shook his head: "Fine, I just hope you'll keep your word and not interfere in my private life. Otherwise, I'll still choose to leave!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately got up and walked towards the stairwell.

Watching his figure disappear around the corner of the stairs, Song Yishu slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

The three Lin sisters had different expressions.

Lin Haozhe glanced at the stairwell, his gaze flickering under the light.

"Alright, it's getting late, everyone go and get some rest." Lin Hongbo waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, the three sisters and Lin Haozhe all got up and left.

The news of Lin Ran awakening his F-level power talent spread like wildfire and quickly reached the entire social circle of Xinhai.

The Lin family originally possessed the powerful weapon of awakening potions, had the military backing them, and their daughter, who had awakened an S-level talent, had joined the Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations, making them seem very difficult to control.

Even though the Lin couple were just ordinary people, few dared to directly target the Lin family.

It was precisely because of this that the Sun family was so eager to kill and silence all witnesses when questioned by the Lin family.

Without those problem students and security guards as witnesses, the Lin family had no way to hold Sun Jinghuan accountable.

After all, the Lin family has connections with the government, so they have to follow proper procedures when doing things.

Now that the young master of the Lin family has awakened a worthless talent, many forces are happy to see it happen, and some of them are even starting to get restless again.

Suddenly, beneath the calm surface of Xinhai City's lake, turbulent currents were brewing.
