Four Skills for All.

After the morning training session ended, Mo Xiu called Liu Ziyang to the dormitory at noon.

As soon as Liu Ziyang entered, he asked, "Boss! What's up? What did you want to see me about?"

Mo Xiu led Liu Ziyang to his bedroom and pointed to the Qingxin Wood, saying, "This is our department's championship reward!"

Liu Ziyang looked around and said, "Boss, I knew you won the championship last night, but I didn't have time to call you. This is what you get for the department championship?"

"Uh...yes!"

"I thought it was something special! This is just something I use as a pillow every night!"

Mo Xiu almost forgot that Liu Ziyang was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and had endless resources from a young age.

It's quite remarkable that Liu Ziyang is so intelligent, having grown up with a pillow made of Qingxin wood since childhood.

Mo Xiu asked curiously, "By the way, since your family is so powerful, how come your skills are only at level two?"

Liu Ziyang scratched his head and said, "It's all because of my dad. He said it's best not to use drugs to improve skills, because even if you improve your skill level, your understanding of the skill won't be right."

Mo Xiu nodded. Liu Ziyang's father made a lot of sense; understanding skills is very important.

Liu Ziyang asked, "Boss, what exactly do you want from me? You're not just showing off your Qingxin Wood, are you? You're not that kind of person."

Mo Xiu asked Liu Ziyang to sit down and began to explain slowly.

Actually, there's something I want to ask you.

"What is it?"

"What exactly is the Xiao family? Xiao Hong, Xiao Lan, and Xiao Qing, whom I impersonated last time."

Upon hearing this question, Liu Ziyang's expression turned serious.

"Boss, I can tell you about this, but it's a very important matter, so you can't tell anyone else."

Mo Xiu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, don't you trust my character?"

"Actually, the Xiao family is royalty!"

"royal?!!"

Mo Xiu was extremely shocked. This was his first time encountering royalty. He had only heard of them before, and they were rarely mentioned in books.

There's another reason why Mo Xiu cares so much about the royal family: Old Tang once said that the royal family has innate skills!

Liu Ziyang's eyes widened, and he quickly covered Mo Xiu's mouth, saying, "Boss, keep your voice down! Discussing the royal family is fine, but things related to the royal family are basically secrets; only a few people know about them!"

Mo Xiu slapped Liu Ziyang's hand away and said, "Okay, tell me more!"

"Yes, the Xiao family is a royal family, but also a fallen royal family, otherwise a royal family wouldn't come to Peking University to study."

"Royalty? Down on their luck?"

Mo Xiu was puzzled. How could royalty fall into poverty?

"Yes, the second generation of the Xiao family, Xiao Hong's father, did not have very strong skills, so he fell into poverty."

Mo Xiu nodded and said, "But I think Xiao Hong and Xiao Lan are both very talented!"

"Yes, there are three people in the third generation of the Xiao family: the eldest sister Xiao Hong, the second sister Xiao Lan, and the third brother Xiao Qing. Apart from Xiao Qing being uneducated and incompetent, the two older sisters are very strong-willed, especially Xiao Hong, who wants to revive the Xiao family."

Mo Xiu understood. This explained why Xiao Lan's skills were so overpowered and why her combat style was military-like.

"Tell me more details!"

"Boss, how specific can you be? Are you checking my household registration? Have you taken a fancy to these two sisters? As your brother, I have to give you some advice: you need to be more restrained. You already have Mu Qingyi, and now you have Yang Qingzhuo. What else do you want, Xiao…?"

Mo Xiu helplessly extended his right hand to interrupt Liu Ziyang.

"Alright, I don't want to know about the Xiao family, I want to know about the royal family, I'm very interested!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ziyang's eyes lit up instantly, but then he lowered his head and kept his mouth tightly shut.

It's just like a child who knows some gossip but knows not to easily spread it.

Mo Xiu's eyes flickered as he said, "Go ahead and tell me. Even if you don't, have you forgotten my relationship with Old Tang? I'll ask him later, and he'll tell me. It's just that I can't find him right now."

Liu Ziyang immediately lowered his guard.

"Alright, I'll tell you. You'll never guess the origins of royalty!"

"Is the royal family surnamed Xiao?"

"No! The royal family doesn't have a fixed surname. The royal family isn't a single family, but rather composed of many families..."

For the next hour, Liu Ziyang explained the royal family from all aspects. Mo Xiu was shocked. The royal family had always represented the strongest fighting force in the alliance, but no matter how he thought about it, he never imagined that the truth about the royal family was like this.

Everything originated from the meteorite "Shi". So, after "Shi" descended to earth, which generation received the most favor from "Shi"?

Are they people who grew up in an era of spiritual energy explosion?

When the "Beginning" descended upon people, those who were exposed to radiation were called the "First Generation," and the "First Generation" were the strongest beings.

No, that's not it. Liu Ziyang mentioned a concept that shocked Mo Xiu: the "Holy Son"!

The so-called "holy child" is actually easy to understand; it is the baby who was still in the mother's womb when "Beginning" came into being.

They were blessed, experienced the first radiation, and grew up in the Reiki Age; they were like people brought to Earth by the Beginning.

At first, the nations were unaware of this and were caught in a bitter battle with the beasts. But when the generation of the "Holy Sons" reached the age of 18 and awakened their skills, everyone realized that if they wanted to defeat the beasts and protect human territory, they had to rely on them.

That generation was gathered together and specially protected until they grew up, at which point they drove away all the wild beasts and signed a contract.

However, due to human carelessness, the beasts discovered the existence of the "Holy Child" and launched a sneak attack using spies, resulting in the deaths and injuries of more than half of the "Holy Child"!

During the great war, some of the "Holy Sons" perished, and the remaining "Holy Sons" and their descendants were known as the royal family.

Even now, the royal family remains the core and strongest fighting force of the alliance.

Mo Xiu asked, "I've heard Elder Tang mention that some members of the royal family possess innate skills. Did you know that?"

Liu Ziyang nodded and said, "I've heard my grandfather mention it, but I've never seen it before, so I don't know what a talent skill is."

Mo Xiu fell into deep thought. Could it be that his passive skill, Reversal, was truly a royal family talent skill?

But I've always been a poor boy, so what does it have to do with royalty?

"Boss! Boss!!"

Liu Ziyang pulled Mo Xiu back from his thoughts.

"Huh? Where were we?"

"We're done talking. You're acting really strange today."

Mo Xiu smiled calmly and said, "Alright, you can go back now. Thank you for clearing up my doubts."

And so, Liu Ziyang came and went inexplicably, leaving without ever figuring out why Mo Xiu had come to see him.

After seeing Liu Ziyang off, Mo Xiu sat alone under the Qingxin Tree, lost in thought.

What exactly was his relationship with the royal family? Could it be his missing father? But Mo Xiu didn't want to bring this up with his mother.

Because whenever her father was mentioned, her mother, Li Yuan, would appear extremely distressed.

Regardless, having such a god-level skill as Flip is not a bad thing. If nothing unexpected happens, after Mo Xiu fully awakens, he will have eight skills, four more than a normal person. This is definitely a terrifying existence.

I wonder what the other royal families' innate skills are? Are they just as powerful?

By the way, when I checked Xiao Lan before, I didn't see any talent skills? Could there be a problem with heredity?
