Chapter 1336 Born Level 10?
"You come at the right time. Please heal them," Tang Shaoyang canceled his Domain of Paragon Armament as Kang Xue arrived at the training ground. He was pointing at Lu An, Pride, and Zhang Mengyao.
Lu An and Pride were sprawled on the ground, blood covered the fur and also Lu An's black uniform. Zhang Mengyao supported herself with the lance, having a hard time standing by herself. They suffered injuries from the sparring fight. It was evidence that Tang Shaoyang was not holding back even though he did not use his full strength.
It was supposed to be a nostalgic sparring between them, but it turned out to be a miserable beating. Three against one, and they could not even land a single hit on Tang Shaoyang, let alone win. It was not so nostalgic sparring, at all.
"What happened!?" Zhang Mengyao hurried over toward Lu An who looked half-dead. She immediately cast healing spells on Pride and Lu An upon noticing it was nothing serious. The injuries were superficial, a few bones cracked but nothing serious. She healed Zhang Mengyao last since she looked better than the two.
"Oh, we are having a sparring fight earlier. They are quite stubborn, keep asking me to keep going even though they are injured," Tang Shaoyang explained as he stretched out his hands. He did not even break a sweat since he barely moved from his position. The only time he did, he made sure that the three would get knocked out.
Kang Xue furrowed her brow, "You are bullying them, aren't you? There's no way they could win against you."
It indeed looked like Tang Shaoyang bullied the three. However, it was not without results. An hour sparring fight benefited Pride, Lu An, and Zhang Mengyao. It started with less than ten seconds of defeat until they managed to last over one minute against Tang Shaoyang. That was a big improvement for them, how they worked together and lasted longer.
"It was not like I was asking them to fight me. It was them who asked me to spar with them," Tang Shaoyang shrugged.
Kang Xue wanted to say more, but Lu An spoke first, "So, do you have any advice for us, Brother?" He sat up with his legs crossed, asking for advice after the humiliating defeat.
"Be more creative?" Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow at the question. He did not have any advice since the fight was a one-sided beating. Three of them were just too weak, and the thing they lacked against him was level. The level gap was too big, and it made his attributes far higher than them. It was like he fought against the elementary kids as an adult. How was he supposed to give advice since it was an unfair fight?
"I have nothing for you three. Maybe level up and reach my rank, and then we can continue our sparring. The gap between us is not just simply a technique or the way of fighting, but the level. Try to get more classes, upgrade your bloodline if possible, or maybe more talents. After the festival is over, you guys should continue climbing the Dimensional Tower. I haven't stepped into the 25th floor yet, and maybe we can finish the tower together. I will wait for you guys," Tang Shaoyang turned around and waved his hand, "Good luck with your leveling, and come at me when you reach Demi-God Rank or maybe Legend Rank."

Tang Shaoyang returned to the smart base and watched the festival from his room, carrying Xiulan. If not for his wives, he would bring Xiulan to join the festival. They told him to wait for at least two weeks if he wanted to bring Xiulan out.
As usual, his daughter had an obsession with his finger, his thumb, and his index finger. He let her play with his finger, and she brought his index finger into her mouth. Just as he was about to pull out his finger, his body stiffened for a moment, surprised that his finger touched something hard. His daughter was just a few days old, so there was no way she had teeth, but it was hard to explain the hard thing in her mouth.
"I think our baby is exceptional, no? Look at this!" He turned around and opened Xiulan's lips. There were two teeth, growing up, the two front teeth. She was exactly five days old, but she already had teeth. Those two teeth were biting his index finger, "Is our baby normal?" He could not help but ask.
Ava, Li Shuang, Delia, and Elin turned toward him. They were surprised as well to see the growing teeth. That was enough clue for Tang Shaoyang to know that it was not normal for a few days old baby to grow teeth.
"Normal baby grows their teeth between three to seven months old…." Li Shuang answered with no confidence. She had a daughter so she knew when the baby's teeth grew.
"Isn't it between two weeks to two months?" Ava had a different answer. Her opinion is also valid since she gave birth to three children. In fact, she had the most experiences between the four girls. Elin and the young Delia were clueless.
"Maybe because of our husband's bloodline? Maybe it affects Xiulan's growth?" Delia voiced her thoughts, but then it did feel off, "But wait, isn't it taking a long time for the dragon to grow up?" The thirty years old dragon was still a young dragon, not an adult dragon.
"But does bloodline really matter in the children's growth? Isn't it about level right now?" Elin thought that the world had integrated with the bloodline, so the growth was about level and attributes right now. The physical appearance was influenced by attributes instead of age.
As Elin brought that up, all of them looked toward the baby who chewed Tang Shaoyang's finger. They used [Detection] on the baby. No one thought of using Detection if not for Elin who brought up the issue.
——————————

The Detection showed everything but Xiulan's attributes. Tang Shaoyang's brow jumped in surprise when he saw the number ten next to the level. In order to level up, one had to kill a monster or zombie. There was no way five-day-old Xiulan could kill a zombie or monster. Let alone killing monsters, she could not even walk yet.
"What is this?" Tang Shaoyang was surprised and turned toward Ava, "Did you guys do something to increase her level?"
Ava rolled her eyes, "What are you talking about? Me and Xiulan have not gotten out of the room for five days. We have been staying in the same room since I gave birth to her."
Tang Shaoyang grew solemn and sat together with the four. They thought together about what made Xiulan reach level 10. Even Origin, The smart AI, confirmed that Tang Xiulan had not left the room. All she had been eating was her mother's milk, nothing else. There was no monster in the room, not even ants or mosquitoes.
"What about the other babies? Have you guys checked the baby with Detection? Maybe she's born at level 10?" That was the only explanation that Tang Xiulan was born at level 10. No one bothered to use Detection on Babies since everyone assumed she was level 1 or even level 0 since she was a baby.
They could not get an answer, and they called Kang Xue, Arina, and Selena. Three of them were in charge of the Tang Hospital. The three girls were shocked when they found out that Tang Xiulan was level 10.
"Have any of you tried to use Detection for the newborn baby at the hospital?" Tang Shaoyang was slightly panicked, but he appeared calm on the outside. It might be a good thing that Tang Xiulan was level 10, but he wanted to know how she got the level. He was afraid that it might affect his daughter in any way, and he wanted to make sure that his daughter was fine.
Kang Xue, Selena, and Arina shook their heads. No one bothered to use Detection on harmless babies, not until now.
Tang Shaoyang handed Xiulan to her mother and stood up. Kang Xue and the others had the same idea, visiting the hospital to check the other babies. He left his room with Kang Xue, Arina, and Selena. The three girls were also worried as they did not know how the level might affect Tang Xiulan.
They soon arrived at the hospital that was not far from the main base, and there were around fifty babies this time around. They used Detection on all babies, and all of them were level 0. That was right, these babies were not even level 1, but level 0. This only made Tang Shaoyang restless even more because that meant Tang Xiulan was the first case.
Tang Shaoyang returned with the bad news. The fact that the other babies were level 0, meant it was Tang Xiulan who was not normal.
