"Strike while the iron's hot!"

Seeing the Great Ape weaken, Mo Yuan immediately had the dragon step up its assault.

He aimed to seize this source of bloodline power as quickly as possible.

The Great Ape had already been outmatched. Now that it was weakened, it was even less able to withstand the dragon's attacks.

After a few exchanges, there wasn't a single uninjured patch left on the Great Ape.

Its entire body had been savaged, torn to shreds.

The Great Ape was now bound tightly by the dragon, its weakened body unable to break free.

Just as Mo Yuan prepared to press his advantage and devour the Great Ape completely,

the green orb of Namekian bloodline power could no longer sit still.

The dragon had devoured half of the Saiyan bloodline, and several golden streaks now glimmered across its body.

Its aura had grown significantly stronger, too.

That gave him a sense of danger.

If he let Mo Yuan keep devouring bloodlines, he'd be next.

So he instantly transformed into a green dragon and launched a surprise attack on the purple dragon under Mo Yuan's control.

The green dragon was fast. In the blink of an eye, it slammed into the dragon that had the Great Ape pinned down.

Mo Yuan was caught completely off guard.

The collision loosened the dragon's hold on the Great Ape.

The Great Ape reacted quickly, seizing the opportunity and breaking free.

Mo Yuan hadn't expected that at all.

The seemingly mild-mannered Namekian bloodline was actually a green tea bitch.

It had a truly rotten heart.

It had actually ambushed him, a little guy who'd been training for less than two and a half years.

Mo Yuan seethed with indignation.

He wanted to eat it alive. (Well... he was going to anyway!)

The weakened Great Ape stood beside the green dragon. They seemed to have reached an understanding and decided to join forces against Mo Yuan.

But...

It was already too late for them to team up!

If they'd joined forces earlier, along with the bloodline power of the Frieza Race,

the three of them together might have been too much for Mo Yuan to handle.

But now?

He'd already devoured the bloodline power of the Frieza Race, along with half of the Saiyan bloodline.

The Earthling bloodline was now stronger than the two of them combined.

The Namekian bloodline was powerful,

but it was only about on par with the Saiyan bloodline. (Saiyans had produced a god, after all, so their bloodline wasn't inferior to the Namekians'. The Frieza Race, on the other hand, were mutants. To be precise, King Cold, Frieza's father, was a mutant, and Frieza was born through his asexual reproduction. Their bloodline had mutated, giving them power close to that of a bloodline that had produced a god.)

With Mo Yuan's strength and the Great Ape at only half power, they posed no threat to him.

With the dragon right in your face, how could you possibly lose?

Facing the green dragon and golden Great Ape glaring at him, Mo Yuan charged straight at them.

Plans? Tactics?

He didn't need any of that!

When you're steamrolling your opponents, don't bother with all that fancy stuff.

The purple dragon's aura burst out.

Its body flickered and vanished from where it stood.

Before the green dragon and golden Great Ape could react, the purple dragon appeared beside them and swept them away with a single whip of its tail.

They flew off in opposite directions.

The purple dragon locked onto the golden Great Ape and sped after it.

Before the green dragon could react, it opened its massive jaws and swallowed the golden Great Ape whole in one gulp.

By the time the green dragon came to its senses, the golden Great Ape was nowhere to be seen.

Only a powerful purple dragon, shimmering with golden light, remained.

Feeling the terrifying aura rolling off the purple dragon,

the green dragon trembled like a little girl who'd run into a thug.

Unfortunately, it wasn't some beauty. And in Mo Yuan's eyes, it was just a brat who'd made a complete mess of its own body.

Mo Yuan showed no mercy and pounced on it.

After two rounds of practice, Mo Yuan was now a seasoned gourmand.

The finest bloodline power didn't need complicated preparation.

Sashimi was the proper way to enjoy it.

After a month of hard work, Chef Mo could finally savor this feast at his leisure.

Mo Yuan couldn't say whether it tasted good.

But after devouring the Namekian bloodline, only one source of bloodline power remained inside him.

And it had retained the original abilities of its bloodline.

Looking at this bloodline power inside him, Mo Yuan couldn't help wondering:

Had Earth once produced an incredibly powerful warrior?

The Earthling bloodline inside him had been weak at first.

But after absorbing Vitality and awakening, it had become even stronger than the bloodlines that had produced gods.

It could even devour other bloodlines and make their abilities its own.

Then there was the Hyperbolic Time Chamber inside the Lookout.

Never mind how wildly time flowed differently inside and outside.

The sheer amount of Vitality filling the place was beyond anything ordinary people could create.

Mo Yuan suddenly wondered: what if the Vitality here was actually meant to awaken Earthlings' bloodlines?

But Earth was on the edge of the universe, almost never invaded by powerful beings from beyond.

Without pressure, martial artists didn't recognize their own weakness. They grew complacent and stopped striving, until Earthlings grew weaker with every generation.

Eventually, once Earthlings began developing technology, martial arts fell into decline.

Even before that, few people could absorb Vitality.

After martial arts declined, fewer people trained.

As a result, the people capable of absorbing Vitality to awaken their bloodlines didn't practice martial arts.

And those who did practice martial arts weren't necessarily able to absorb Vitality.

Awakening a bloodline also required an enormous amount of Vitality.

The only place on Earth that could meet that requirement was the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

But to train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, you first had to climb Korin Tower and pass a series of trials before you could enter the Lookout.

Very few people could manage that.

And so Earthlings' bloodlines were buried deep within them.

Of course, all of that was just Mo Yuan's personal conjecture.

After dealing with the bloodline power, Mo Yuan looked at his body, which had been reduced to a lump of mush.

He could only say that the fact he was still alive was a miracle.

But for Mo Yuan, who now possessed the abilities of the Namekian bloodline, it was nothing too serious.

Soon, an immense surge of life force emerged from within him.

It began repairing his body.

Mo Yuan's balloon-swollen body slowly deflated.

The cracks across his skin healed in an instant.

His bones, flesh, and organs grew back, too.

Nearby, Lazuli finally let out a breath of relief as Mo Yuan's body returned to its normal size.

His skin was still covered in dried blood, so she couldn't tell whether he'd fully recovered.

But seeing his body return to normal was already wonderful news for Lazuli.

The heavy weight in her heart finally lifted.

She felt much lighter.

The clouds shrouding her face parted, revealing a beautiful rainbow.

Just then, Mo Yuan moved.

His body had completely recovered.

Mo Yuan got up from the ground, feeling a little itchy.

Oh! It was just dried blood.

He gave his body a shake, and the scabs clinging to him began to fall away, revealing his muscular physique.

"Gasp!"

Following the sound, Mo Yuan saw Lazuli staring at him wide-eyed from not far away.

Mo Yuan followed her gaze downward.

w(゚Д゚)w

A gigantic dragon, claws outstretched, was swaying in the breeze.

"Big sister!!!"

Mo Yuan grabbed hold of the dragon, which was trying to take flight, his face flushed as he shouted at Lazuli.

Lazuli pursed her lips. o(´^`)o "Little squirt, what could I possibly have seen that I haven't seen before?"

Mo Yuan roared. (#`皿´): "I don't care! Turn around!"

"Fine, fine. ╮(─▽─)╭ Big sister's going to make you something to eat. You haven't eaten in a month, so you must be starving."

Lazuli waved her hand and turned to leave, looking exasperated.

But the moment she turned around, a hint of pink appeared on her face.

It... was pretty big... hehehe~ o(*////▽////*)q
