Rewriting My Fate in the Apocalypse-Chapter 98: Unlocked Potential

There was a kind of pull radiating from that crystal shard, but it looked like only Lu Zhen could feel it.

He stretched his hand and picked up the crystal and one of the sharp corners poked his finger.

Because of the tempering of the spiritual spring water together with his awakened mutated fire ability, his skin was tougher than before.

Also, ordinary sharp objects couldn’t dent his skin so easily. It was surprising that just by grabbing the crystal shard from the table, it would poke him and draw blood.

A single drop of blood seeped into the crystal shard and the two witnessed another miracle.

The shard that had already changed in size from that of a coin to that of two coins placed side-by-side. This was what had surprised them so much.

Now, the crystal started to glow with an attractive purple color and several veins appeared on its surface.

When the glow disappeared, they looked at the crystal and found that it now looked like an exquisite jade pendant with several characters carved on it.

But what shocked them was what those characters represented.

They were spelling out the ’Lu’ name. That was Lu Zhen’s surname. What was going on? They were both just as surprised as they were when Leng Pan was called by name by that bot in the mansion.

Now, there was something else that couldn’t be explained. Lu Zhen examined the jade pendant in his hand but apart from the name that had appeared, it didn’t seem to have any other secret.

He wondered what it was for and why it had resonated so much with him that he had gone to retrieve it.

Since he couldn’t understand what it was or what it was for, he decided to forget about it for the time being and put it back on the holographic table.

Leng Pan looked at the meteorite that seemed unchanged but still emitted that humming sound and still glowed with purple sparks and felt tempted to touch it.

They had been afraid of touching it before because they didn’t understand what it was or what it was capable of.

Of course, they still didn’t know what it was or what it was capable of but they had at least established that it could help them to improve their powers.

So, she didn’t feel too resistant towards touching it.

She stretched her hand and placed the tip of her fingers on it. Immediately, some images flashed in her mind uncontrollably like a movie on a fast-forward.

It was so fast that she couldn’t catch what those images were. But one thing was clear, there was a lot of blood. They also gave her the same feeling she had during that nightmare she had when napping.

Another feeling that overwhelmed her as soon as her hand touched the meteorite was the affinity she had with the water element.

She could feel the increase of the water in the air. With her connection with the water element increasing, her future would be better because she wouldn’t need a water source to conjure weapons anymore. She could use the water in the atmosphere.

Lu Zhen seemed to have experienced something similar even without having to touch the meteorite.

With just the connection with Leng Pan, his fire element surged and suddenly a fire serpent formed behind him.

It was not a regular shaped serpent. In fact, it looked more like the body of a snake with the head of a dragon.

Yes, dragons somewhat look like snakes but this one looked like a combination of both.

Moreover, it was different in color from the crimson-purple flames or the blue flames that Lu Zhen had been creating.

This fire serpent-dragon was golden. However, it was somewhat illusionary. Nonetheless, the heat radiating from it couldn’t be ignored. It was hot enough to melt steel.

So, whether it was an illusion or real, the fire energy within was definitely real.

Lu Zhen, feeling the presence behind him, turned around and upon seeing what he had created was surprised.

This thing had appeared there without his conscious knowledge. Meaning that he had created it without intent.

This indicated his increasing affinity with fire to the point where it could be manipulated unconsciously.

"Let’s go out first. We can practice for a few more days before coming back." Lu Zhen said after dispersing the fire serpent.

He didn’t want them to stay there for too long and absorb more of whatever was released by that meteorite. It looked like every time they came into contact with it, it unlocked some kind of potential in them.

Doing it moderately was fine, but if they got greedy and bit off more than they could chew, it would become a problem.

He didn’t care if anything happened to him on the road to become stronger, but he couldn’t accept something happening to his wife. So, he suggested leaving.

Leng Pan had the same thought and agreed immediately.

"Mmm...let’s go. Staying here for too long won’t be beneficial for us. Moreover, I want to go see what effect me being in direct contact with the meteorite would have on Mom and the others." Leng Pan replied.

Indeed, the last time they came close to the meteorite, Lu Tao had gained something as his powers stabilized further and also advanced.

He also seemed to have unlocked some potential in hacking without the use of the internet. Basically, it looked like Lu Tao had awakened a superpower that had to do with surveillance or spying.

It was a very strange superpower. The same with Uncle Li who cooked more delicious food with some signs of improved strength for those who ate it.

Last time their mother had mentioned feeling strange when close to Leng Pan which was an indication that she may be awakening a superpower too, but they couldn’t be sure.

Now that Leng Pan had a physical contact with the meteorite, they wanted to see what changes happened.

Leaving the space, the couple didn’t linger in their apartment as they didn’t want the potent effects of the meteorite to lessen. So, they went directly to the other house. Li Yunjia was still busy making clothes. She had already made three constant temperature suits and still had a few more to make. She also wanted to make hats and gloves using the same material in case they needed them in the future.

Even socks will be made. Having something to cover almost all parts of the body wasn’t bad.

As soon as the two pushed the door open and walked inside, Li Yunjia and Aunt Li who were sitting in the living room sofa stiffened.
