"Brother ZI Long, you'll be staying with us for a few more days, right?" After showing Zhou Zilong around, Bulma held his hand, her clear eyes filled with anticipation.
Zhou Zilong smiled at Bulma and replied, "Staying for a few days should be fine, but would it be too much of a bother if I stayed too long?"
"No! Not at all!" Bulma quickly shook her head. "Mom and Dad both love making friends, especially with big brothers like you!"
"That's right, little brother ZI Long, stay a few more days, it won't be a problem," Dr. Brief, Bulma's father, walked in and said to Zhou Zilong with a smile. "Besides, you saved Bulma today, and I haven't properly thanked you yet. If you don't mind, I'd like to ask you to be Bulma's personal bodyguard for a while. Don't worry about the money; I'll pay you 100,000 Dragon Coins per hour."
Zhou Zilong was stunned by Dr. Brief's words. 100,000 Dragon Coins? Was money this easy to earn in this world? He hesitated for a moment but agreed. After all, he had nowhere else to go.
"Brother ZI Long, this is your room." Bulma led Zhou Zilong to a spacious and bright room. The room was equipped with various modern facilities, including a complete set of fitness equipment.
"Okay, thank you for your trouble," Zhou Zilong replied politely to Bulma.
"It's no trouble at all. If you want, you can have this room permanently," Bulma said playfully. Bulma's enthusiasm made Zhou Zilong feel a little overwhelmed.
Zhou Zilong's heart stirred upon hearing this, but he quickly shook his head and said, "That would be too much. By the way, Bulma, do you have any spare clothes? I forgot to bring any when I left."
Bulma was taken aback for a moment, then asked curiously, "Brother ZI Long, then how come the clothes you're wearing don't smell of sweat?"
Zhou Zilong scratched his head and said somewhat awkwardly, "I brought some money with me when I left. I stayed at some places and washed my clothes before changing into them and setting off."
Bulma nodded upon hearing this and said, "Then you go take a bath first. I'll ask Dad to take me to buy you a few sets of clothes."
Zhou Zilong quickly waved his hands and said, "That would be too much trouble. Just find me a set that's roughly the right size. I can wash this one and wear it later."
Seeing this, Bulma didn't insist. She led Zhou Zilong to the bathroom and prepared a clean set of pajamas for him. Zhou Zilong gratefully accepted the pajamas and walked into the bathroom.
After locking the bathroom door, Zhou Zilong sat in the bathtub. Flower petals floated on the water's surface, emitting a faint fragrance. He took a deep breath, gently closed his eyes, and said to the system, Xiao Ling, "Xiao Ling, perform the Marrow Cleansing for me."
"Okay, Marrow Cleansing is about to begin. Xiao Ling wishes you a great transformation on your first Marrow Cleansing," Xiao Ling's voice sounded in Zhou Zilong's mind, warm and firm.
As soon as the voice fell, a soft yet dazzling light emanated from Zhou Zilong's chest, instantly injecting into his body. Zhou Zilong felt a warm current flowing through him, as if countless energy particles were shuttling through his blood vessels, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort.
However, this warm current did not last long. Soon, Zhou Zilong felt his body begin to heat up, as if being scorched by flames. He gritted his teeth, enduring the pain. Immediately after, he noticed black liquid seeping from his fingertips. This liquid emitted a foul stench, sending shivers down his spine.
Zhou Zilong knew this was a sign that impurities were being expelled from his body during the Marrow Cleansing process. He took a deep breath, focusing his attention on every part of his body, feeling the warm current constantly washing through him.
As time passed, Zhou Zilong's body began to undergo subtle changes. His skin became smoother and more delicate, and his muscle definition became more fluid and powerful. He felt his strength constantly growing, as if he had inexhaustible energy.
Just as Zhou Zilong was immersed in the changes brought about by the Marrow Cleansing, Xiao Ling's voice suddenly echoed in his mind: "Marrow Cleansing is 80% complete and is about to enter the critical stage. Host, please remain conscious and do not let your guard down."
Zhou Zilong's heart leaped. He immediately focused his mind, preparing to face the upcoming challenge. He knew that the critical stage of Marrow Cleansing was the most dangerous moment, and any slight mistake could lead to failure.
As the Marrow Cleansing deepened, Zhou Zilong's body began to undergo more drastic changes. His skin started to emit a faint golden glow, as if enveloped by a mysterious power. His eyes also became sharp and piercing, as if capable of seeing through all illusions.
Just as Zhou Zilong was about to reach his limit, he suddenly felt a powerful force erupt from within him. This force was like a rampaging beast, instantly breaking through his physical limits, making him feel an unprecedented sense of exhilaration and ease.
"Marrow Cleansing successful! Congratulations on unlocking special abilities: God-tier Super Brainpower, Steel Body, Time Control (Beginner), Super Transformation Technique," Xiao Ling's voice sounded in Zhou Zilong's mind, with a hint of joy and pride.
Zhou Zilong immediately checked his status:
Zhou Zilong: [Race] Pure Earthling [Vitality] 507 [Potential] Ten Trillion [Potential Development Progress] 1 [Combat Power] 10 [Potential Level] Epic Potential [Mastered Techniques] Advanced Sanda Skills [Innate Abilities] God-tier Super Brainpower, Steel Body, Time Control (Beginner), God-tier Transformation Technique
Looking at this information, Zhou Zilong was filled with excitement and elation. He knew he was no longer an ordinary Earthling; he possessed extraordinary power and potential.
"Xiao Ling, I have a general idea of what the other three abilities mean. What's the use of this God-tier Transformation Technique?" Zhou Zilong asked eagerly.
"The God-tier Transformation Technique is a powerful transformation ability. You can completely change into someone else's appearance and mimic their aura. This can not only be used to hide your identity but also to intimidate or deceive enemies," Xiao Ling explained.
Zhou Zilong nodded, his heart filled with anticipation for the adventures that lay ahead. He knew that his destiny would change dramatically because of this Marrow Cleansing.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Xiao Ling, for being so thoughtful," Zhou Zilong said gratefully.
"It's nothing. Since Xiao Ling chose you, I will definitely help you with all my might. However, ZI Long, until you are fully capable, be extremely cautious when using Time Control, okay? Because some people in the Dragon Ball World are very wary of this ability," Xiao Ling reminded him again.
"Okay, I understand. I'll be careful," Zhou Zilong replied solemnly.
"By the way, Xiao Ling, don't I have two more Marrow Cleansing opportunities? When will those be?" Zhou Zilong asked curiously.
"The timing for these two Marrow Cleansings is not something Xiao Ling can decide. They will be triggered only after you advance the Dragon Ball plot," Xiao Ling's voice was calm and firm.
Zhou Zilong nodded, understanding the responsibility he bore. He had to adapt to his newfound power as quickly as possible, and at the same time, he had to advance the Dragon Ball plot to obtain more Marrow Cleansing opportunities.
