The car stopped in front of a towering modern building, and Lin Yuan and his companions walked into the headquarters of the Qi Gong Association. Lin Yuan looked up at the top of the skyscraper, a frown creasing his brow as an unsettling feeling washed over him.
"We've arrived, Mr. Lin. We will provide you with the most professional treatment," Oozawa Naoki said with a professional smile, gesturing for Lin Yuan to follow.
"Be careful, Old Lin," Zhou Haoran whispered in his ear.
Lin Yuan forced a smile and followed Lu Min and Dazai Naoki into the elevator. As the elevator ascended to the 76th floor, a sudden wave of dizziness hit him, and he instinctively leaned against the wall for support.
"Mr. Lin, are you alright?" Lu Min asked with concern, her bright eyes shimmering with an unusual light.
"I... I'm fine," Lin Yuan replied, struggling to stand upright as cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He could feel the power he had just consumed stirring within him, as if it were about to tear his body apart.
The elevator doors opened, revealing a spacious laboratory filled with high-tech equipment. Screens on the walls flickered with complex data and graphs.
"Please lie down here," Dazai Naoki instructed, pointing to a device resembling a surgical table in the center of the room. "We need to check your physical condition."
Lin Yuan glanced at Zhou Haoran, who nodded slightly in encouragement for him to comply. He lay down and immediately felt a cool sensation spreading from his back.
"Relax, Mr. Lin," Lu Min's voice came softly as her fingers gently pressed against his pulse. "I need to check your Meridian flow."
Lin Yuan felt a warm energy flowing from Lu Min's fingertips into his body, traveling along his Meridians. The sensation was comfortable and wondrous, momentarily distracting him from his pain.
"Interesting..." Lu Min's brow furrowed slightly. "Your Meridian system seems to be undergoing some kind of change, and..."
"What is it?" Lin Yuan asked.
Lu Min did not respond immediately; instead, she moved toward the control panel and entered some commands. The devices around Lin Yuan suddenly lit up with blue light, and he felt a slight vibration.
"Don't worry; it's just a routine scan," Dazai Naoki explained, though his gaze had sharpened noticeably.
As Lin Yuan was about to speak, a sudden wave of excruciating pain erupted from within him. He couldn't help but let out a scream, his body arching as if something were trying to break free from inside.
"Old Lin!" Zhou Haoran exclaimed, rushing forward, only to be blocked by Dazai Naoki.
"Don't interfere with the examination," Dazai Naoki said coldly.
Lin Yuan's consciousness began to blur; he felt as if he were floating in a sea of darkness. In that darkness, he saw countless flickering points of light swirling around him like stars.
Suddenly, one of the lights drew closer, growing larger until he could see what it was—a humanoid silhouette radiating an eerie black glow.
"Who are you?" Lin Yuan wondered inwardly.
The shadow did not respond; it merely extended a hand and touched Lin Yuan's forehead. A cold power surged into his brain, followed by a torrent of unfamiliar memories and knowledge.
"Illusion... Sword Qi... Lingqi Explosion..." Lin Yuan murmured, recognizing these as abilities he had absorbed from members of the Obsidian Empire.
As he immersed himself in this newfound knowledge, a more intense consciousness suddenly invaded his mind: "Devouring Cells evolving... Multiple abilities detected... Initiating fusion process..."
Lin Yuan's body convulsed violently as an unprecedented pain swept over him. He felt every cell in his body burning, reorganizing, evolving.
"What’s happening to this guy?" Dazai Naoki's voice came from afar. "The lifeform is fluctuating violently!"
"I don't know; I've never seen anything like this," Lu Min replied, sounding both worried and excited. "His cells are mutating at an astonishing rate!"
Zhou Haoran broke free from Dazai Naoki's grasp and rushed to Lin Yuan's side. "Old Lin, hang in there!"
Lin Yuan wanted to respond but couldn't make a sound. His consciousness sank deeper into the darkness, feeling as though his body was being dismantled and then reassembled.
In that darkness, three different energies intertwined, clashed, and fused. The mystery of illusion, the sharpness of Sword Qi, and the ferocity of Lingqi Explosion fought fiercely for dominance within him.
"No, it’s about merging, not fighting..." Lin Yuan shouted in his mind, striving to control the three forces within him.
Gradually, the conflict among the three forces began to diminish. They first separated and then remerged in a new way, forming an unprecedented energy pattern.
Lin Yuan felt his consciousness returning. He opened his eyes to a blurry world, where he could only make out Zhou Haoran's worried face and the surprised expressions of Lu Min and Dazai Naoki.
"Old Lin, are you okay?" Zhou Haoran asked, his voice laced with evident concern.
Lin Yuan nodded with difficulty, attempting to sit up. To his surprise, the intense pain he had felt earlier had completely vanished, replaced by an unprecedented sense of power. He felt light and strong, every cell in his body brimming with vitality.
"I'm... fine." Lin Yuan's voice was somewhat hoarse but filled with strength. "I even feel better than before."
"Impossible!" Dazai Naoki exclaimed as he stared at the monitor screen. "His life index has increased by 30% compared to before; theoretically, that shouldn't be possible!"
Lu Min's eyes sparkled with an unusual light. "Mr. Lin, how did you manage this?"
Lin Yuan did not respond; instead, he looked down at his palms, feeling the new energy flowing within him. Previously, he could only absorb one ability at a time, but now he had successfully merged three abilities simultaneously.
"Have you completed your examination?" Lin Yuan asked, his voice steadier than before.
Lu Min and Dazai Naoki exchanged glances, seemingly communicating silently. Finally, Lu Min nodded. "The examination is complete, Mr. Lin. Your physical condition... is beyond our expectations."
Lin Yuan jumped off the examination table and stretched his limbs, feeling an unprecedented sense of ease. "So, can we leave now?"
"Of course, but..." Dazai Naoki hesitated. "We hope you will consider joining the Qi Gong Association. With your potential, your future achievements could be limitless."
Lin Yuan smiled lightly. "Thank you for the invitation, but I need to rest for now. Let me think about this decision for a few days."
After leaving the Qi Gong Association building, Lin Yuan and Zhou Haoran headed straight to the latter's clinic. Throughout the journey, Lin Yuan remained silent, seemingly processing the changes within him.
"Old Lin, what on earth have you been through?" Zhou Haoran asked as he closed the clinic door, unable to contain his curiosity any longer.
Lin Yuan took a deep breath. "Hao Ran, do you believe in miracles?"
Before Zhou Haoran could respond, Lin Yuan extended his hand, palm facing up. To Zhou Haoran's astonishment, a blue energy sphere formed in Lin Yuan's hand, pulsating with an eerie glow.
"What is this... Lingqi?" Zhou Haoran asked in surprise.
"Not just Lingqi." A spark of excitement flickered in Lin Yuan's eyes. "This is the result of merging illusion, sword energy, and Lingqi Explosion. I’m temporarily calling it 'Scientific Explosion.'"
With that, Lin Yuan threw the energy sphere towards an empty vase in the corner of the clinic. The moment the sphere made contact with the vase, it erupted in a dazzling flash of light, reducing the vase to powder without making a sound.
"Wow!" Zhou Haoran gasped, "The power of this..."
"And it's completely controllable," Lin Yuan added. "The range and intensity of the explosion are all within my control."
Zhou Haoran stared at Lin Yuan in shock. "Old Lin, how did you do this?"
Lin Yuan walked to the window and gazed out at the night sky. "Do you remember that ability I told you about? The one where I can absorb my opponent's cells to gain their abilities? Today, during my fight with the Obsidian Empire's people, I absorbed three of their abilities. But strangely, these abilities didn’t remain separate like before; they began to merge."
"Merging?" Zhou Haoran frowned.
"Yes, right there on the examination table, I felt my cells undergoing a revolution," Lin Yuan said, his eyes shining with intensity. "They not only absorbed those abilities but also fused them together to create a brand new form of power."
Zhou Haoran pondered for a moment. "This might be related to your unique physique. You can naturally see the flow of Lingqi; this sensitivity to Lingqi could be key to your ability to merge different powers."
Lin Yuan nodded. "That's what I think too. Moreover, I suspect this breakthrough is just the beginning. If I can absorb more diverse abilities and fuse them together..."
"Then your strength will be limitless," Zhou Haoran interjected, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "Old Lin, do you know what this means?"
Lin Yuan smiled confidently, "It means that even if the Obsidian Empire comes again, I won’t have to be afraid."
That night, Lin Yuan returned to his apartment and lay in bed, reflecting on everything that had happened that day. From being attacked by the Obsidian Empire, to absorbing their powers, and then successfully merging with the Qi Gong Association... it all seemed destined.
He raised his hand and looked at his palm, feeling the powerful energy flowing within him. This sensation was both strange and familiar, as if he was meant to possess this power all along.
"Scientific Explosion..." Lin Yuan murmured to himself, "That name sounds pretty cool."
Just as Lin Yuan was about to close his eyes and rest, his phone suddenly rang. It was an unknown number.
"Hello?" Lin Yuan answered the call.
"Mr. Lin," a cold voice came from the other end, "it's truly... unfortunate that the people from the Obsidian Empire couldn't take you away."
Lin Yuan's body tensed instantly. "Who are you?"
"Who I am is not important," the voice continued, "what matters is that your Cellular Devouring ability has piqued our interest. Next time, we will send someone stronger to... take you."
Before Lin Yuan could respond, the call was abruptly disconnected. He clenched his fists, feeling the power within him growing stronger.
"Bring it on," a glint of cold light flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes. "This time, I won’t just passively take hits."
