Chapter 287

In the span of a single breath, it transformed into a mirror.

Jiang Yi looked toward the mirror's surface.

In an instant, he noticed the abnormality in his eyes.

"My eyes?"

Just as he was utterly bewildered—

Jiang Daoxuan's voice suddenly came through: "There is no need for worry. You must have already noticed the changes in your body. This is the root cause of your loss of sight—your innate talent. Its name: Heavy Pupils!"

"It is precisely because this talent was awakening that your eyes were temporarily shielded by the power of the Heavy Pupils. You are not truly blind. Now that it has awakened smoothly, all manner of miraculous aspects will, I believe, reveal themselves to you one by one in the days to come."

"A bearer of Heavy Pupils is destined for limitless heights in the future. You will surely become one of the most brilliant prodigies of our clan!"

"However, though your talent is strong, do not grow complacent. I hope you will spare no effort in your cultivation from now on, and strive to strengthen the clan. I look forward to your future performance…"

Hearing that his eyes were actually so extraordinary, Jiang Yi was first startled, but quickly came back to his senses.

He immediately walked before Jiang Daoxuan.

With a thud, he dropped to both knees.

"Thank you, Clan Chief, for your aid! Had you not intervened, no matter how strong my talent, I fear I would never have been able to awaken it in this lifetime, and would have been trapped in that endless darkness forever!"

"The Clan Chief's great kindness—Jiang Yi shall never forget it for as long as I live. Please, accept my bow!"

Jiang Yi lowered his head and, facing forward, kowtowed three loud times!

Not only had he regained his sight, he had also awakened the Heavy Pupils talent.

At this moment, the gratitude in his heart was beyond words. He could only silently etch it into his heart, vowing to shed the last drop of his blood for the clan and repay the Clan Chief's kindness!

At the same time, he sensed the terrifying power hidden within his eyes.

He clenched his fists and secretly swore an oath.

The suffering of the past would finally pass.

From now on, I will never allow anyone to hurt my brother!

Anyone who wants to hurt Jiang Hao will have to step over my, Jiang Yi's, corpse first!

Elsewhere—

Jiang Hao, too, felt it as if it were his own, and sincerely rejoiced for his brother.

He hurriedly knelt: "Thank you, Clan Chief, for extending your hand and saving my brother. Jiang Hao is endlessly grateful!"

Seeing the brothers' display, Jiang Daoxuan smiled: "Rise."

As he spoke, an invisible force swept out and in an instant lifted the two of them off the ground.

Just as Jiang Hao and Jiang Yi had thought all was well—

Jiang Daoxuan suddenly said: "Jiang Hao, do you know that you, like Jiang Yi, possess an extremely special and powerful talent? However, this talent has not yet fully awakened, and I am able to help you complete its awakening right now…"

Startled by these words, a trace of confusion immediately surfaced in Jiang Hao's eyes.

He had never expected that he, too, carried a special talent within him.

Such a thing—he had never once imagined it!

At this moment, Jiang Yi was overjoyed beyond measure!

This joy even surpassed the joy he had felt upon obtaining the Heavy Pupils!

After all, ever since their father had passed away—

As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father; he naturally wished his younger brother the very best!

If the Heavy Pupils could even be transplanted, he would have wanted to transplant them to his own younger brother!

Therefore, for the other party to now awaken a talent of his own was naturally for the best!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yi immediately bent forward, pressed his forehead tightly against the cold ground, and said respectfully:

"I implore the Clan Chief to show mercy and help my younger brother awaken his talent!"

"In the future, should the Clan Chief have any need of us, the two of us brothers will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
