"What happened? Still no luck?"

Lazuli had been watching from a short distance away.

When the commotion died down, she came over.

Mo Yuan lay on his back, staring blankly at the pale sky, looking a little dejected.

He glanced at Lazuli.

"Yeah. I don't know what went wrong."

This had been going on for five months.

After training here for just one month, Mo Yuan had raised his battle power to match Vegeta's base battle power.

Since then, he had been trying to turn into a Super Saiyan.

Every attempt had failed.

Lazuli looked at Mo Yuan lying on the ground and instinctively started to pick him up.

Halfway through, she suddenly realized that Mo Yuan was no longer the little kid she could cradle in her arms.

He was now 1.4 meters tall, so she couldn't hold him like before.

Lazuli: So much happiness, gone in a flash ((유∀유|||))

She crouched down and ran her fingers through Mo Yuan's soft hair, comforting him. "Don't rush it. You still have half a year. You'll definitely succeed."

"Come on, let's go. Dinner's ready. Think about this after you've eaten."

With that, Lazuli vigorously ruffled Mo Yuan's hair twice, then stood up and headed back.

Forget it.

Mo Yuan decided to put this matter aside for now.

He'd think about it after dinner.

It wasn't like this was the first time he'd failed.

Mo Yuan ate this meal somewhat absentmindedly.

Even though he'd decided to put it aside, he couldn't help wondering what exactly had gone wrong.

Was it because I haven't become a complete life form yet?

Or did my body change because I appeared in this world?

After all, I did cross over into another world.

The odds of something like that happening were even lower than a dog... um... Ka Bao getting a free Epic pull. (Why not call him Dog Ka? I wish I could! B-but he gave me a free Pizza Hut yesterday! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o)

So what else could be impossible?

He hastily filled his stomach.

Mo Yuan returned to the white space.

He sat down cross-legged on the ground.

This time, instead of trying to transform into a Super Saiyan as he usually did, Mo Yuan calmed his mind.

He was going to thoroughly examine his body.

Mo Yuan guided the ki inside him through his body, carefully sensing every corner.

After a long while, he opened his eyes. His amethyst-like gaze was full of disappointment.

He hadn't found anything abnormal about his body.

"If only the Mind's Eye could see inside me..." Mo Yuan murmured.

"Wait!"

"That's right!!!"

Mo Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

He had never used the Mind's Eye to look inside himself, but that didn't mean it couldn't do so.

Maybe he'd simply never thought to use it that way.

Without hesitation, Mo Yuan closed his eyes again.

He controlled the power of the Mind's Eye.

This time, instead of spreading the Mind's Eye outward as usual, he drew it inward and focused it on his own body.

In an instant, Mo Yuan could clearly see every organ inside him.

Every meridian, every acupoint, every drop of blood.

Even every cell.

After examining everything, he found no problems with his organs, meridians, acupoints, or blood.

So Mo Yuan focused the power of the Mind's Eye on his cells.

The concentrated power of the Mind's Eye was like a microscope.

Under its gaze, the cells began to grow larger and larger.

Soon, Mo Yuan could see everything inside them.

Alongside the normal cellular structures, he discovered four clusters of light in different colors.

Gold, purple, green, and white. Each cluster occupied its own territory inside the cells.

The golden, purple, and green clusters were larger, standing in a three-way balance.

The white cluster, however, was extremely weak and could only hide in a corner.

The golden cluster radiated a wild, frenzied aura and boundless fighting spirit.

The purple cluster radiated an evil aura and an unfeeling thirst for slaughter.

The green cluster radiated a gentle aura and boundless vitality.

The white cluster gave off no special aura at all. It was utterly ordinary.

Yet it gave Mo Yuan the feeling that it could accommodate all things.

Judging by the auras of these clusters, Mo Yuan could more or less tell that they were the bloodline powers of the races whose cells had fused together inside him.

The golden one was the Saiyan bloodline.

The purple one was the Frieza Race bloodline.

The green one was the Namekian bloodline.

That meant the white one could only be the Earthling bloodline.

Compared to the other three races, the Earthling bloodline was far too weak.

It was like the flame of a dying candle, liable to go out at any moment.

But the Earthling bloodline had something unusual about it.

It seemed to hold infinite possibilities.

Mo Yuan studied the four bloodline powers.

He began to form a theory about why he couldn't turn into a Super Saiyan.

Mo Yuan opened his eyes and stood up.

He concentrated the ki inside him in his back.

"Ah!!!"

As Mo Yuan roared, his muscles tensed, and bulging veins twisted across them.

He released every bit of ki inside him without restraint, and his power quickly reached its peak.

The force of his ki whipped up fierce winds around him. Faintly, he could even hear thunder and see lightning.

Though everything around him shifted wildly, his mind remained clear.

The Mind's Eye fixed its gaze on the bloodline powers inside his cells.

As his ki rose, the golden cluster inside his cells shone brilliantly.

It almost turned the entire cell gold.

But at that moment,

the purple and green clusters seemed displeased by the golden cluster's encroachment.

They began to release their own light as well.

In an instant, the light of all three colors illuminated Mo Yuan's cells.

The white cluster remained huddled in the corner, seemingly unaffected.

Under the combined pressure of the purple and green clusters, the golden cluster steadily retreated.

Before long, it was suppressed back to its original state.

Looking at the bloodline powers inside his cells return to their three-way balance, Mo Yuan knew he had failed to transform again.

So he drew his ki back into his body.

But this time, Mo Yuan didn't feel disappointed.

At least he knew what had gone wrong, didn't he?

Now that he knew the problem, the next step was to solve it.

Mo Yuan could think of only two ways to do that.

The first was to remove the other bloodlines and turn himself into a pure-blooded Saiyan.

The second was to fuse all the bloodlines into one and create an entirely new bloodline.

Mo Yuan preferred the second option.

After all, the Namekians' abilities and the Frieza Race's abilities were formidable too.

Namekians could regenerate lost limbs, while the Frieza Race had powerful bodies and could survive in space.

Those were rare and valuable abilities.

As for the Earthling bloodline...

In the original story, there weren't any particularly powerful Earthlings.

After Z, they had almost disappeared from the stage.

But the Earthling bloodline could complement the Saiyan bloodline.

Half-Saiyans with Earthling blood could more easily become Super Saiyans.

So no matter what Mo Yuan ultimately chose, he could keep the Earthling bloodline.

After making up his mind, Mo Yuan went to tell Lazuli.

Then he returned and entered seclusion again.

This time,

he would definitely succeed!
