Yin-Yang Harmony System

"Ehh! I don't know. Even I am confused about it. Although I sucked in the dark energy from the stone in a large amount, it only awakened E-Rank talent. So I don't even know why he chose me." Mike shook his head and answered truthfully.

From his previous analysis, he found the system has a relationship with him but not through Innate Ability. Rather it seems related to a unique talent. Since he has his Innate Ability, he has no reason to expose the system.

Not to mention, Mike has a clear understanding of the system's function. Just as it said, it was helping him to get stronger. After all, increasing his stats by 1 through exercises is not common at all. Even A-Rank talent can't increase their strength so fast.

"Wait, you said sucked in the dark energy from the stone and only awakened E-Rank?" Hearing his words, she grabbed his shoulder and shouted on his face. Mike didn't expect she would react this way.

"Y…..Yes," Mike answered in a confused tone. He didn't understand what's there to make such a fuss about it? After all, he did awaken an E-Rank talent no matter how suspicious things he caused.

"Then, did that stone became useless after that?" But Lauren didn't let go of his hands and asked with a serious tone. Her expression was telling him that she knew something very unusual. But Mike had no way to answer that. He could only look back at Lucas for truth.

"Yes, it was later replaced with another stone because the dark energy was completely drained." Lucas nodded his head and answered.

"Yes, I understand! I finally understood why that man chose you and let you join the King's Academy." After she confirmed things that she needed to know, her face brightened with excitement just by thinking about it.

"Why?" Mike and Lucas asked at the same time with confusion on their head. It was natural since they didn't understand many things.

"The same incident as yours has happened fifteen years ago. Once a man had same incident as yours and awakened D-Rank Innate Ability. But after three years, he was found to have S-Rank Innate Ability. After another seven years, he finally proclaimed the cause of the change in his Innate Ability." 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m

"He said, his innate ability needed a lot of dark energy to consume to completely awaken his it. Only when he was given enough dark energy, not just a regular one rather a pure one, he could improve his innate ability rank. The dark energy stored in the stone is the purest dark energy which is why it could awaken the innate ability."

"You had Dark Energy Resistance Body but I don't think that's the truth. Your body might have been the body that needs a pure form of dark energy to properly mutate. Since the atmosphere of the earth has the impure form of dark energy, it couldn't mutate your body."

Although her explanation was clear, Mike and Lucas didn't understand. It's not that they didn't understand these words rather they didn't understand the relationship between pure dark energy and awakening.

Mike didn't shrink back when asking her the question "Why can only the pure form of dark energy awaken Innate Ability?"

"Hush! It seems you guys don't know much about it." Looking at their confused expression, she shook her head and sighed. But she didn't hide rather she began her explanation.

"There are two kinds of cells that a human has once he awakens his Innate Ability, one is a normal cell while the other is a mutated cell. The mutated cell is the result of mutation through dark energy with several other energy produced by the body. When the body is mutated with a pure form of dark energy, it can instantly transform a normal cell into a mutated cell."

"For a cultivator, both impure and pure form of dark energy is required. Pure Form of dark energy awakens and strengthens the Innate Ability while the Impure Form of dark energy strengthens the body." f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮

"But both energy has one thing in common. Both produce mutated cells through different process. While the Pure Form of dark energy can instantly transform a normal cell into the mutated cell, Impure Form of dark energy can only strengthen the normal cells and slowly transform it into the mutated cells."

"So, what are the mutated cells exactly? The answer lies within the process of cultivation. When a person absorbs the impure form of dark energy, he uses this dark energy for the transformation process. And during that process, the mutated energy is produced."

"Only the mutated energy can pass through the source and transform into ability energy. Normal dark energy or other forms of energy can't pass through the source and transform into the ability energy. Mutated Cells are very much necessary because it creates Innate Ability and slowly strengthen the ability."

"This is why people join Ascending to Godhood and risks their life. Once they get enough experience points, they can instantly level up increasing the number of mutated cells in their body. When the numbers increases, the quality of your superpower also increases."

"Now, let me tell you something about awakening. People most often call it awakening because here you can stimulate your mutated cells to constantly select the best heritage for you. Yep, Innate Abilities are nothing but powerful heritages that were constantly made up by the Universe Spirit, Dead Souls, Chaos, even the Infinity."

"So, your Innate Ability has the potential to reach its full grade once you use the right heritage to improve it. An E-Rank can reach S-Rank while A-Rank can even reach S-Rank. For instance, my Storm Dragon Blood transforms my bloodline into the bloodline of the dragon."

"If I can find a dragon race inheritance, I can easily accept it with my Innate Ability. And if that inheritance has stronger talent than mine, I can improve my Innate Ability Rank. Of course, this practical but very hard."

"After all, in this endless cosmos, we are very weak. So, now do you understand why King's Academy invited you? Your case was similar to him. That man is complete monster. With his fist he has shattered the asteroids many times."

"His strength is top-notch but he had to suffer a lot because no one knew about his weirdness. That might be the reason why he recruited you. It seems he wanted to completely awaken your talent from the start."

"Of course, you have to remember if your situation is different than him and if you are an E-Rank for real, they won't hesitate to turn the cold shoulder on you. So, don't get your hopes up!" Sighing with helplessness, she explained everything without taking a slight break. Lucas and Mike also didn't disturb her, quietly listening to each of her words.

Mike was silent all the time especially when he heard her last words. He didn't know what to feel. If he had no system, he might be overjoyed or extremely nervous, but he maintained to remain calm due to the existence of the system.

'Indeed, it doesn't matter where my condition is the same as him. As long as I can reach that requirement, I can awaken my unique talent.' Muttering in his heart, a determination flashed in his eyes.

"Alright, Lauren, I won't get my hopes up." But the next moment, that determination disappeared from his eyes and a calm look appeared on his face. He nodded his head and replied.

"Lucas, I have to go home now. Aunt must be really worried." Although he said he will call her mom, the habit was hard to change at once. He called her aunt then realized his mistake but didn't correct it.

"Alright, I'll send him home." Just when Lucas was about to speak, Lauren nodded her head and spoke while looking at Lucas.

With his sister's words, Lucas could only nod his head and looked at the back of Lauren and Mike. Lauren was a little short, only two or three inches shorter than Mike.

After they walked out of the house, the outside was dark. Only a few street lights were on, making it easier to walk.

"Mike, are you going to ignore me?" After an awkward silence for two minutes of walking, Lauren asked.

"Lauren, what ar...…"

"Ummmm" But before he could say anything, his lips were covered by hers. For a moment, his eyes were about to pop out but remembering this wasn't the first time, he only struggled to break free. But her hands were around his neck, holding him tightly.

'Fuck! I don't want to die. Stop! Someone stop her!' In his heart, Mike began to cry. There was a powerful aura that was completely locking onto him, not letting him move a single inch.

After their lips touched each other for a moment, Lauren sneaked her tongue inside his mouth. Her tongue was extremely fast, looking at a single opportunity, to move inside his mouth.

"Ummm" Suddenly, a soft moan came out of his mouth when her tongue played around his tongue. It was slippery, moving around with a soft sensation that made Mike moan.

'Fuck! Am I moaning here?'
