Lapis Activates Bloodline

A few minutes later.

Lapis returned after being beaten up again.

Mo Yuan also kept his promise and did not strike his face.

However.

The clothes that were once loose on Lapis were now a bit tight.

He walked with a limp, not very agilely.

Coupled with his bruised and swollen head that was being teased by Lazuli.

He looked truly pitiful.

After all, Lapis was his brother-in-law now.

Upon returning to the Lookout, Mo Yuan immediately healed him.

"I didn't expect you to have this trick up your sleeve."

Lapis stretched his fully recovered body, looking at Mo Yuan in surprise.

In just a few seconds, the injuries on his body had completely healed.

Perhaps it was because his injuries were only superficial, but it was still highly unexpected.

Mo Yuan smiled indifferently and said, "There is much more you haven't expected."

After this brutal beating, Lapis was completely convinced.

With him protecting his sister, he could finally rest easy.

At the same time, Lapis's interest in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber grew even greater.

Regardless of the factors involved.

There was no doubt that Mo Yuan and Lazuli had become stronger.

Therefore, this Hyperbolic Time Chamber must possess extraordinary energy.

Lapis couldn't wait to go inside.

A year later, he would surely be even stronger.

Perhaps he could even beat them both to a pulp.

After all, he had been stronger than them before.

Given the same year of cultivation, wasn't it only natural that he would be stronger?

Hehehe~~~

Lapis, lost in his fantasies, wore a strange smile on his face.

Lazuli, standing to the side, saw her brother making a weird expression while looking at the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Based on her understanding of her brother, Lazuli felt he definitely wasn't thinking of anything good.

So she said to Mo Yuan, "I think there's something wrong with him; he looks so punchable!"

"Hmm." Mo Yuan nodded in agreement.

Then he proposed a suggestion: "How about... we beat him up again?"

→→←← A look exchanged confirmed they were on the same page!

Just as Mo Yuan and Lazuli were rubbing their hands and preparing to strike.

Lapis suddenly sensed a chill behind his back and shivered involuntarily.

Then he saw his sister and her beau looking at him with ill intent.

"W-what do you want to do?"

An inexplicable sense of crisis made him unable to help but take half a step back.

"What kind of bad ideas were you having just now? Hmm?"

Lazuli's calm tone made Lapis feel intensely uneasy.

This wasn't the pressure of strength, but the suppression coming from his sister's bloodline.

"No... I wasn't thinking of anything."

"Heh, were you just thinking that after you come out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, you'll be able to beat us both to a pulp?"

"How did you know!"

Having his thoughts exposed by Lazuli, Lapis completely lost his composure.

Lazuli's lips curled slightly as she looked at Lapis playfully and said, "I do now."

"What?? You... you..."

Lapis felt a mix of emotions, his trembling finger pointing at Lazuli, unable to utter a word for a long time.

I never expected that someone as clever as me would actually be tricked.

Is this what they call heaven being jealous of talent?

If it had to create Lapis, why also create Lazuli!

Meanwhile, Mo Yuan and Lazuli stood with their arms crossed, watching the scene with cold detachment.

After a long while.

Lapis lowered his arms as if resigning himself to fate, closed his eyes, and gave up resisting.

A thousand emotions surged in his heart, finally converging into a single sentence.

"Just don't hit the face..."

As for the final request of their younger brother/brother-in-law, Lazuli and Mo Yuan naturally granted it to the fullest extent.

And so.

Following a series of "unghs," "ahhs," and "oohs" from Lapis.

Everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened at all.

If one were to ignore Lapis's swollen body, that is...

As a brother-in-law, Mo Yuan very considerately provided Lapis with a recovery treatment.

Lapis also expressed his gratitude in a very (gritting his teeth) moving manner.

After the scuffle, their relationship had grown much closer.

Lapis was also preparing to enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train.

Since the Hyperbolic Time Chamber could only accommodate two people at a time, Mo Yuan decided to go in with Lapis for a while.

He would teach him how to train and, incidentally, see if he could sense primordial energy to activate the latent bloodline power belonging to an Earthling.

As for Lazuli, she would stay outside with Android 16 for the time being.

In any case, Lazuli's current strength was enough to trounce everyone on Earth.

Moreover, Mo Yuan didn't need to stay in there for a full year; he only needed to teach Lapis how to train.

After the two entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Lapis couldn't wait to start training.

Mo Yuan explained the method of cultivation to him once.

Lapis was truly worthy of being called a person with immense potential by the Old Bird.

After just a simple explanation, he began to train.

Within a mere few minutes, Mo Yuan sensed ki emanating from him.

Lapis had already sensed the ki within his own body; all that remained was to increase his own ki by absorbing the ki of heaven and earth through cultivation.

Most importantly, he also sensed a different kind of energy.

This energy was purer and far more powerful.

He had already learned about it from Mo Yuan earlier, and if nothing went wrong, this energy had to be primordial energy.

Lapis could feel his body craving this primordial energy.

Without any hesitation.

Lapis immediately began to absorb the primordial energy drifting in the air.

The surrounding primordial energy was drawn in, gathering around him and entering his body in an orderly fashion.

The primordial energy was absorbed bit by bit, slowly nourishing the bloodline power that belonged to him.

Mo Yuan was somewhat surprised.

Although he knew Lapis had high potential.

He hadn't expected it to reach such a degree.

He was able to sense and absorb primordial energy on his very first attempt at cultivation.

Of course, this might be because the primordial energy in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber was so abundant.

But it still showed that his potential was indeed formidable.

Speaking of the primordial energy within the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, it was indeed extremely plentiful.

Last time, Mo Yuan had almost drained the entire chamber of its primordial energy, but after a period of time, it had regenerated.

The speed at which the primordial energy recovered was countless times faster than in the outside world.

As Lapis absorbed it bit by bit, the surrounding primordial energy began to thin out.

However, he was unable to draw in the energy from further away.

Once the surrounding energy was exhausted, he would have to change locations to continue absorbing it.

Seeing this, Mo Yuan did not hesitate.

In an instant, his Mind's Eye enveloped the entire Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

All the primordial energy was instantly mobilized by Mo Yuan.

It converged toward them at an incredible speed.

In an instant, a gale began to rage within the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

It whipped up a storm of vital energy.

Lapis, currently in the midst of his cultivation, sensed that the originally thin vital energy around him had increased once more.

It had even become denser than it was before he began his training.

It was so abundant it was practically turning into an ocean of vital energy.

Lapis was no fool; with such a massive change in his surroundings, he figured only his cheap brother-in-law could have been responsible.

After all, there was no one else here besides the two of them.

Since the issue of vital energy had been resolved, Lapis could cultivate without any further concerns.

He quickly cast aside all distracting thoughts, settled his mind, and continued his training.
