While curiously floating around the three spheres of white light, the newly obtained information makes Myah feel excited yet perplexed at the same time.
He could only choose one!
Although the little guy could somewhat understand the words in the description, he couldn't fully comprehend their meaning.
Myah's thought was simple.
The first choice would change his body, and the second choice could make him see again, while the third choice could make him powerful.
Once again, being charmed by the mysterious attraction from the spheres, Myah couldn't help but feel greedy.
He floated toward the white-colored light spheres with an ignorant thought and tried to touch all of them. However, to no avail, the little guy flew right through them as if they were nothing more than a mirage.
Not giving up, he tried for a good while but made no progress.
Losing interest, Myah switched his attention and floated back to the crystalline screen.
'Can't I have all of them?' While looking at the words on it with some expectation, he asked positively.
Myah has thought that since there was a change before, maybe it could change again and replied to his question. If this was true, then in the future, he could have a secret friend which he could always talk to when he feels bored.
That would be super awesome!
'...' However, the little guy was left disappointed that the reply that he expected didn't appear. 'Fine! Since you don't answer my question, then...then don't answer! Humph!'
Feeling upset, Myah turned his back to the dull-looking screen and ignored it for a while. Then, the little guy would peep at it every once in a while, but there was no change.
'Jeez...' With no other choices, Myah gave up and turned to read the options on the screen thoughtfully. The description of each choice was short and plain, and there weren't many details.
'Body of The Conqueror....meh.' Because of his simple thought process, Myah instantly crossed out the first choice.
Although the little guy has heard many fairy tale stories from his mother, grandma, and grandpa chief, he never heard of Heavenly Physique and what it does.
However, just the thought that it would change his body, Myah instantly crossed out the first option. He was afraid that in the future, when he reunited with his mother, what if she didn't recognize him because he looks different?
It would be terrible!
As for the second choice, as much as Myah wanted to see again, he shakes his head. It was hard to cope with the blindness sometimes before, but it didn't really trouble him anymore. He has already accepted it and moved on.
'I can still move my body freely, not like in the dream, although I can see in there. Being unable to move and could only gaze outside the window for three years, it was much worse...'
For a moment, while Myah reminisced about the eight years of wholly living in that dream world, a familiar feeling of regret suddenly sparked in his heart. But as quickly as it comes, that feeling also disappeared in a flash.
With a determined look on his face, Myah also crossed out the second choice.
Besides, the little guy doesn't have any interest in peeking at other people's secrets at the moment. Furthermore, he couldn't comprehend how it could help him become more powerful, so he was disinterested.
As for the third choice, it has dramatically attracted Myah's attention.
After all, for more than half a year.
Every night, his grandma would tell him an exciting bedtime story and the spear's mightiness and how all the other weapons are inferior.
The story of how she heroically defeated her enemies, in other words, the bad guys, because of her deep understanding of the way of the spear, makes Myah excited.
The little guy aspired to be strong and powerful.
'Grandma has promised to teach me how to practice spear techniques when I become a Warrior, and now that I have become one... Ehehehe!'
Making up his mind, Myah pointed at the third option, the
'I chose you!'
'...'
Seeing that nothing has changed, Myah's face becomes puzzled for a moment. 'Ummm, so...wh—'
Abruptly, Myah's thought was cut short as he feels a sharp sting of discomfort.
A mysterious force was tearing away a strand of Myah's soul.
This sickening feeling was hard to describe as it wasn't a physical one, but it seems to have originated from the root of his very existence!
In the next second, the previous words on the crystalline screen disappeared and were replaced with new ones.

Before Myah could make sense of what's happening, he becomes unconscious and falls into a deep slumber for real this time.
A mysterious transformation was slowly transpiring.
...
Meanwhile, back in the dimly illuminated bedroom, Mu Suyin was carefully observing little Myah with care.
"Am I missing something?" Noticing that Myah's soundly asleep body flinched for a split second, she whispered with a doubtful look.
'I have already thoroughly examined his body. There shouldn't be any illness. Surely, it couldn't be a hidden physique going through its awakening, right?' Thinking to herself, Mu Suyin thought that this reason might be very plausible.
The Realm of Yggdrasil,
No,
The Green-Wood Divine Continent was the combined remnants of seven different realms combined, and it is vast and endless.
Even as a former Master Spearman, a powerhouse originating from the Astral Moon Palace that has lived for hundreds of years, Mu Suyin herself wasn't confident of claiming that she knew a portion of its secrets.
'A hidden physique awakening after an individual becomes an official cultivator is rare but seldom happens. Myah could potentially be one of such cases.'
While Mu Suyin was deeply contemplating Myah's strange situation, a new change suddenly makes her pupil constricted to that of a pin needle.
In a flash, she disappeared from the bedroom.
