"Hahaha!!!"
Qin Yan roared with wild, unrestrained laughter. Merging with the Ancestral Saiyan bloodline had caused his Power Level to skyrocket to a staggering 100 million.
His manic laughter echoed through the entire Training Space. He had never expected that simply merging with the Ancestral Saiyan bloodline would grant him such an incredible windfall.
The agonizing pain he had endured earlier now seemed trivial it was entirely worth it. To think that just a bloodline integration could bolster his strength to such a degree; the Ancestral Saiyan bloodline was truly, freakishly powerful.
Raising his hand, Qin Yan began to circulate the energy within his body. He could feel power surging out from his depths an ancient, profound, and overbearing aura that looked down upon all things.
Suddenly, a terrifying mass of energy, resembling molten lava, began to coalesce in his palm. This chaotic Energy Wave slowly condensed, its surface shimmering with a faint purple radiance.
Is this the change brought about by the bloodline merger? Qin Yan stared at the hazy, chaotic energy in his hand. It was saturated with an aura of mystery, destruction, and violent rage. It was a frightening sight to behold.
Seeing that the energy had finished gathering, Qin Yan enunciated every syllable with a loud shout.
"Hun! Yuan! Wu! Ji! Wave!"
With a sharp roar, a massive, purple-tinted chaotic Energy Wave shot out from his hand. The Hunyuan Wuji Wave spun rapidly through the air,
looking as if it intended to pierce through and destroy everything in its path. Accompanied by a series of vacuum-rending sonic booms, the thick Energy Wave tore through the expanse of the Training Space.
BOOM!
A deafening explosion followed as the Hunyuan Wuji Wave detonated in the distance. A gargantuan mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and the sound of the blast shook the very foundations of the Training Space.
The energy released was as blinding as the sun, illuminating the entire Dojo with a stark, white light. The light was so intense it was impossible to look at directly.
Shockwaves radiated outward in all directions, a devastating pressure sweeping across the land and obliterating everything nearby.
In the distance, Liya had looked up in alarm after hearing Qin Yan's shout, thinking something had gone wrong again. Instead, she witnessed a scene she would never forget.
A massive Energy Wave had erupted from Qin Yan's hand, forming a long ribbon of light that spanned across the entire starlit dimension.
As the blast detonated, the brilliance forced her to shield her eyes. A split second later, a powerful gale slammed into her. Her small frame wavered, and she struggled to maintain her footing.
However, the pressure was simply too immense for her slender body to withstand. She was forced back, stumbling as the searing light made even a peek feel like a burning needle in her eyes.
She could only squeeze her eyes shut and endure, waiting for the aftershocks to dissipate. Once the light faded and the energy settled,
Qin Yan stood dazed for a moment before snapping back to reality. He was shocked. This power this destructive force was simply too brutal!
"Hahaha!"
Qin Yan fell back into a state of wild ecstasy. This level of sheer destruction was almost unbelievable. He felt as though he were in a dream. Unable to accept that this was real, he slapped himself hard across the face.
It hurt! It was real. This was the strength he truly possessed; it wasn't a dream.
In his past life, he had spent countless hours fantasizing about possessing world-ending power. He never expected that he would not only feel it but own it. He felt as if the boundless power within his body was enough to let him crush stars with his bare hands.
While he had felt strong before, it had never been this terrifying. It was so powerful it defied common sense.
"Hahaha!!" He laughed again, losing himself in the joy of his skyrocketing strength.
"Brother Qin Yan!" Liya's voice suddenly drifted over, pulling him out of his internal celebration.
"Liya!" Hearing her voice, Qin Yan's eyes brightened, and he called back joyfully.
He had actually forgotten the little girl for a moment. He wouldn't have succeeded in the bloodline merger without her companionship and care over the last two months. He had been so immersed in his new power that he hadn't even noticed her approach.
Suddenly, a cold breeze swept past. Qin Yan felt a chill below his waist, the air blowing directly against his skin. His heart skipped a beat as he looked down. Holy crap. He was standing there completely stark naked in mid-air; his clothes were gone.
The situation was incredibly awkward. With a helpless, embarrassed grin, he quickly exchanged a set of clothes from the System and threw them on.
His previous outfit must have been shredded when he was clawing at himself during the painful merger, and the subsequent explosion of power probably vaporized the remains.
Reflecting on it now, the process of merging with the Ancestral Saiyan bloodline had been exceptionally perilous. No wonder there was a warning that the host needed a powerful physique and a Power Level under 3 million.
Even with his Power Level at 3.2 million and his Grand Primeval Chaos Creation Dao Profound True Wonder Art at the fifth level of the first layer,
the merger had been a narrow escape from death. If he hadn't met those requirements and had rushed into the merger out of greed, he likely would have died on the spot. Fortunately, his conditions had just barely met the standard.
As Qin Yan stood there with lingering fear, Liya came sprinting toward him. Her face was a mask of worry and terror as she asked urgently, "Brother Qin Yan! Are you okay? I was so scared, I was so worried about you."
The look of distress in her eyes was heart-wrenching. The poor girl had been living in fear for so long. Qin Yan slowly reached out and pulled the little girl into a gentle embrace.
"It's okay now, Liya," he comforted her softly. "Don't worry anymore. It's been hard on you. I'm sorry for making you worry for so long."
Waaaah!
His warm words broke her composure completely. The girl began to sob loudly in his arms, finally releasing two months' worth of grievance, fear, and suppressed tension.
"There, there. Don't cry. Everything is fine." Qin Yan held her tight, gently patting her back. It was better for her to let it all out.
Looking at the girl weeping inconsolably in his arms, Qin Yan's own heart trembled, and his eyes grew a bit misty. He felt a wave of self-reproach.
He should have let her stay outside; then she wouldn't have had to endure this. He had been too impatient. All he could do now was whisper comforts. "I'm sorry, Liya. It's all my fault. I'm sorry for worrying you."
His gentle, magnetic voice finally caused her emotional defenses to crumble, and she wailed even louder, her cries pure and heart-piercing.
He held her, feeling a bit helpless. He sighed inwardly; he had no other choice. This world was too dangerous. He had to increase his strength as quickly as possible for the sake of his grand ambition to reach the peak. He had no choice but to be strict with himself.
After crying for a long time, Liya finally calmed down and asked what had happened during those months. "Brother Qin Yan, what exactly was going on? You looked so scary before!"
"Oh, that? It's nothing. It was just a new type of art I was practicing," Qin Yan said, trying to sound as casual as possible to hide the agonizing process. "The process was a bit tough, but it increased my strength a lot."
"What kind of art is so torturous?" Liya asked, still fearful. "You looked so terrifying. Please don't practice it anymore, okay?" If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she might have believed his casual explanation.
"Right, right. I promise, nothing like that will happen again," Qin Yan assured her.
It probably won't even be possible to replicate that scene again, he thought to himself.
But the girl wasn't easily appeased and kept a stern face. It took Qin Yan quite a while of coaxing no, explaining and comforting before she finally forgave him for his dangerous behavior.
In truth, it had been incredibly dangerous. If Liya hadn't listened to him and had tried to interfere while he was at that critical juncture, the consequences would have been unthinkable. Fortunately, she had restrained herself.
Now that the Ancestral Saiyan bloodline merger was complete, Qin Yan noticed he had grown taller. He was now over 1.9 meters tall, a full head taller than Liya. Before, he had only been slightly taller than her, a difference that wasn't very obvious.
Now that she had calmed down, Liya also noticed the change. She stared at him with a strange expression for a while before speaking up. "Brother Qin Yan, I feel like you've changed.
You're suddenly much taller. Your hair looks different too, but also the same... and your aura makes me feel weird. I can't describe it, but it's like a sense of awe coming from the bottom of my heart."
Qin Yan was curious about the change in his hair. He manifested a mirror and took a look. Indeed, it was different. The iconic Saiyan hairstyle hadn't changed much, but it looked sharper and more mature.
The real change was that from a distance, one could see misty red flames faintly shimmering over his hair. In short, he had become much more handsome. Liya's intense staring made even Qin Yan feel a bit self-conscious.
Qin Yan didn't care too much about the physical changes as long as he looked good. The merger had brought his Power Level to 100 million, a terrifying leap.
The next step was to consolidate this sudden surge of power, making it one with himself. He needed to strike while the iron was hot and master this vast energy to use it perfectly.
After that, Qin Yan took Liya to freshen up. They took a bath and enjoyed a massive feast together.
Then, they began their cultivation. During this time, Qin Yan would occasionally take a break to guide Liya in her training, which made her incredibly happy.
As the saying goes, "Time is the one thing in this world that cannot be held back; the youthful face fades in the mirror, and the flowers fall from the tree."
Six months passed in the blink of an eye.
After half a year of diligent training, his skyrocketing strength was not only consolidated but had even improved. At this moment, Qin Yan's Power Level had reached a staggering 120,000,000.
Liya's strength had also progressed by leaps and bounds during this period. Her Power Level had reached 36,000, thanks to her mental block being resolved and Qin Yan acting as her sparring partner.
