Chapter 23 Yuki Lineage

When opening the [System Store], Theo spent some time searching…

[9,000 System Points]

[Skill: <Clean> Level 1]

[Skill: Rank 4]

[Ability for cleaning in general]

[Warning: Without having an affinity with [Water] and [Wind], the mana cost is greater.]

"Oh! It worked! Hm... despite it saying that there is higher mana if I don't have [Water] and [Wind] affinities, it should not be too much for me, I guess..." Theo thought and decided "Well, I'll buy it and see."

[Are you sure you want to spend 9,000 System Points on the skill <Clean>?]

[Yes]-[No]

Theo: "[Yes]"

[You Learned the skill: <Clean>]

"Okay, I'll test now!" Theo thought and used it.

Theo: "<Clean>"

"Splash"

The moment he used <Clean> on his body, Theo was surrounded by a layer of water, wiping every corner of his body. After the water stopped wiping his body, a hot wind began to spin around him, forming a small whirlwind drying him very fast.

After the effect passed and the foul scent of impurity was no longer present: "Haha! It was better than I thought! Also, the mana cost wasn't that great either."

"Well, there's still time before Yuki finishes cultivating, I'll cook lunch in the meantime." Theo thought, exiting the [Dimensional Room].

"Alright, it's ready! It's almost time for Yuki to stop cultivating as well." With that thought in mind, Theo returned to the [Dimensional Room].

"Theo!" Yuki called after him as he appeared.

"I returned! I went to prepare lunch while you were cultivating," Theo said.

With a happy smile, Yuki said "I managed to have a breakthrough in cultivation! I made it to the 4th Tier of the Student Kingdom!" After saying it, she went to Theo, wagging her tails and ears without stopping.

Theo: "Oh! Was fast. Congratulations!" He said and smiled.

"Thanks! But I'm able to cultivate fast like that because of the (Dragon's Egg) and also thanks to that [Dimension Room] and the [Magic Core] you gave me." Yuki said happily.

"Haha! As long as you're happy, it's good for me!" He said and continued, "Ah! Right, the food is ready, shall we go back?"

"Yes, let's go!" Yuki replied.

"Hm... before that, let me use my new skill on you!" Theo said, and with a thought, he used <Clean> her.

Yuki was surprised at first, but remembering it was Theo who used this skill on her, she didn't worry. After that, they reappeared in the cave.

When leaving the [Dimensional Room]. Yuki started to feel the good smell of fish and ended up salivating a bit.

This was the first time Theo had made fish. Seeing Yuki salivating only with the scent, Theo began to think it would be good for him to start making fish more often as well.

"It smells so good!!" Yuki exclaimed.

"Right, no need to wait, let's eat!" Theo smiled and said.

"Hm, ~~ Delicious!!" exclaimed Yuki as she ate the fish.

Theo laughed lightly, "That good?"

"Yes! A lot!" Yuki replied.

Theo smiled and said, "I'm glad you liked it!"

Yuki nodded and revealed a happy smile.

Theo and Yuki continued to eat until they were satisfied.

Yuki rubbed her face on Theo's: "Theo, thank you for this!"

"Hm!" Theo nodded and said, "Okay, you still have to train to master the first stage of your movement technique, I also want to increase my proficiency with my flames."

After that was said, they started heading to the forest to train again.

It was still a while before Yuki was able to master her movement technique. Yuki put a lot of hard work, and she then managed to master the first stage.

"I finally mastered the first stage!" Yuki exclaimed cheerfully, "I need to tell Theo!" She went to where Theo was training.

"Wow! This was caused by Theo?!" Yuki was surprised when she got near where Theo was training because the place was destroyed... there were trees burned to ashes, other plants and even rocks were not spared either.

Coming close to Theo, Yuki sighed in admiration: "You are very strong Theo!!"

"Oh! Is that you Yuki?! "Theo said.

At the sound of Theo's voice, Yuki remembered why she came here and said, "Yes, I have mastered the first stage of movement technique!" She said and smiled happily.

"I understand, I'm glad you did it!" Theo smiled and said, "Ah, Yuki, I said I was going to give you a gift when you learned the first step of your right movement technique, right?"

Yuki stood with her tails wagging happily and looking at Theo with her (Fox) eyes shining as she looked at Theo, and nodded.

Theo did not say anything, he simply started to take [Magic Cores] that were in his [Dimensional Bag] and began to use <Devour> on them, increasing his points. When it arrived at 150,104 points, he stopped.

Yuki had seen Theo do this before, so she just stood on the side, waiting.

"Okay, now I have the necessary points!" Theo said to himself and opened the [System Store] and bought a [Lineage Creation Pill].

Seeing the box, Theo smiled and said, "Yuki, what's inside this box is your gift!" He looked at her seriously "Inside the box is a [Lineage Creation Pill], but understand that the process is very painful, so I'll let you decide when you're going to use it!"

Hearing this, Yuki nodded and Theo continued, "When I got my [Lineage] my power increased a lot, and it also improved my body a lot! But, once more, the process is painful and takes time, so it will depend on you when you want to take it!" he said in a serious tone.

Yuki was also very interested in acquiring a [Lineage]. Her lovely (Fox) eyes gleamed with a curious light.

"I don't want to be a burden to you, so I'll use the pill so I can strengthen myself! Even if I have to suffer a little pain in the process!" Yuki said with determination.

Watching her act like this, Theo sighed and said, "Okay, but first let's go back and you need to rest so you're in your best condition before using the pill."

Yuki agreed with what Theo said and soon after they returned to the cave.

2 hours later.

"I'm ready!" Yuki said.

"Okay, but first let's go to the [Dimensional Room] to do this! I think if you do it there, the mana being denser can help you in creating your [Lineage]." Theo explained.

Yuki also thought it was a good idea and agreed.

Theo: "[Dimensional Room]"

When entering the [Dimensional Room], he took out the box that was inside the [Dimensional Bag]. Then, he opened the box and took the [Lineage Creation Pill] from inside. "Yuki, are you ready?" Theo asked.

"Yes!" Yuki replied in a firm tone.

Theo then used his mental power to take the pill to Yuki's mouth. The moment the pill entered her body, all the energy in the pill began to focus on the center of her body. Soon after, it began to spread and surround each part of her body, causing extreme pain.

"AHHHHHH!"

Yuki started to feel a lot of pain and began to make muffled cries by clenching her teeth tightly, holding back the pain.

The white and black energy contained in this pill began to form again in Yuki's central point, producing crackling sounds inside her, as if they were hammering something. This caused even greater pain for Yuki.

Yuki, that was next to the (Dragon's Egg), began to be surrounded by silver energy that was being sent from (Dragon's Egg). This made Theo a little worried and anxious because he did not know why this was happening. Unfortunately, he could not do anything for fear of making things worse. He could only stare and hope for the best.

The silver energy that was coming from the (Dragon's Egg) blended with milky white energy that was inside Yuki's body and began to spread throughout her body. Covering her organs, bones, bone marrow, blood, skin, flesh, and cells.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

When this started to happen, Yuki began to feel an even greater pain that made her scream out loud in agony. It was a pain she had never experienced in her life, almost losing consciousness... but Yuki continued to persevere.

Soon her bones melted. They had turned into a silvery liquid mass, but not long afterwards this silver liquid mass began to form new bones, but this time they were silver bones, stronger and more resistant than previous bones.

After her bones were formed, the pain Yuki was feeling faded a little and the energy in her body continued to work, spreading through her body fortifying her. Her vital organs were strengthened by this energy, now they emitted a faint silver light, her heart was also strengthened by creating a small silver layer around it protecting it.

Her blood became thicker. When Yuki began to feel relieved, her outer skin began to fall. "AHHHHHHH!" Making her scream in pain again, but soon a new layer of white skin and some silver features began to form, replacing the old one.

Theo was looking at her in surprise a, for she still continued with her white coat, but with some silver features. Her four cinnamon-colored paws were now silver, her claws got sharper and longer, her two ears were white, but around them was a silver lining, a new tail also grew, and her tails were long, white and beautiful with them being silver at the tip as well. And what most surprised Theo was that Yuki's forehead had a small silver horn and a pair of long silver wings on her back.

Theo looked at her and saw that the name of her breed changed, from (Snow Fox) to...
