If this ability were used against an enemy, it could probably kill them instantly before they even realized what had happened.
However, it had a drawback.
The consumption was enormous.
That single move just now had already used nearly one-tenth of his inner power.
But after thinking about it carefully, it made sense.
How could an ability this heaven-defying possibly have a small cost?
Once he grew stronger in the future, using it frequently would naturally become possible.
"Huh? Whoa!"
Lan Silo suddenly felt the scenery before his eyes blur.
When he focused again, his uncle's handsome face was already right in front of him.
He staggered slightly before regaining his balance. Rubbing his eyes with his small hands, his face was filled with confusion and amazement.
"Uncle? I… I suddenly came here in a flash! Can I fly now?"
Seeing his nephew's adorable yet excited expression, Lan Tianyu couldn't help smiling.
"Your uncle used inner power just now to move you over here."
His tone was calm, attributing everything to his own ability without mentioning the Gojo Satoru template at all.
As for the system—
It was enough that he alone knew about it.
A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure invites trouble.
Never test the human heart.
Even with the people closest to you.
"Oh! Oh!"
Lan Silo nodded, half-understanding.
But his attention was immediately drawn to something more important.
He looked up with sparkling eyes full of anticipation.
"Uncle… did you successfully break through?"
That single question instantly tightened everyone's nerves in the courtyard.
Dozens of gazes focused on Lan Tianyu at the same time.
The air filled with tension and expectation.
They could clearly feel that the aura around Lan Tianyu had become far more terrifying than before.
But without seeing his actual battle power index, they still felt somewhat uneasy.
After all, for nearly three generations, the Lan family had not produced a single person whose battle power had surpassed 20,000.
"Yes. I broke through, fortunately."
Lan Tianyu nodded calmly.
Then he circulated his internal technique and released the battle power index he had been concealing.
[5012… 10213… 15694… 20300]
"As expected of my son! Not even thirty yet, and he's already reached 20,300 battle power!"
"If he keeps growing at this speed, he might climb even higher in the future and restore the former glory of the Lan family!"
Lan Wenhua's face flushed red with excitement.
With a flash, he teleported directly beside Lan Tianyu, instinctively raising his hand to pat his son's shoulder in praise.
But when he saw the crimson inner power surrounding Lan Tianyu, he awkwardly withdrew his hand.
After all, his own battle power index was only 11,000.
If that slap actually landed, he might end up seriously injured—or worse.
"All of this is thanks to the strong support from our elders."
Lan Tianyu withdrew his aura and spoke sincerely.
"If the family hadn't spared no expense searching the world for rare medicinal herbs to prepare medicinal meals for my cultivation, my progress would never have been this fast."
Those words came straight from his heart.
Every year, the family spent tens of millions on those medicinal ingredients alone.
It was by no means a small expense.
"Tianyu, you're being too polite."
"That's right. The family has offended many forces while expanding in recent years."
"If it weren't for you personally stepping in and eliminating those blind fools with thunderous methods, the Lan Group would never have grown this quickly."
"A few herbs are nothing. Compared to your contributions to the family, it's barely worth mentioning!"
Everyone gathered around him, speaking one after another.
Their voices were filled with genuine gratitude and praise.
In short—
The atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
There was not the slightest hint of scheming or internal conflict.
The main reason was simple.
The Lan Group had been developing rapidly, and the "cake" was large enough for everyone to share.
Once the cake became too small to divide—
Family conflicts would inevitably arise.
Lan Tianyu naturally understood this.
But he didn't care.
When the cake wasn't enough, he would simply take more from others.
Although the Ultimate World resembled his previous world in many ways, it still possessed a supernatural system.
And the true rule of this world was simple—
The strong devour the weak.
Only the strong deserve everything.
Power…
Was authority.
"Alright, alright. Everyone stop standing around here."
"I've already had breakfast prepared. Once we reach the dining hall, you can talk as much as you like."
Wei Qingxia waved her hand at the right moment, interrupting the lively scene.
She still wanted to talk privately with her son about his lifelong matters.
She had no intention of letting these people delay that.
After all, as the wife of the family head, she carried a certain level of authority.
As soon as she spoke, everyone responded with smiles.
Their figures flickered as they teleported away one after another.
In the blink of an eye, only Lan Tianyu's family of three remained in the courtyard—
Along with the little nephew still clinging to him, Lan Silo.
Since Lan Silo's parents had gone abroad on a business trip, he had been staying with Wei Qingxia these past few days.
Naturally, he would also join them for meals.
"Silo, come eat breakfast with Grandma."
Wei Qingxia stretched out her hand.
"No!"
Lan Silo made a funny face and tightened his grip on Lan Tianyu's clothes.
"I want to stay with Uncle! I want him to teach me cultivation. I want to become as strong as Uncle!"
Lan Tianyu was about to speak.
But at that very moment—
The system's notification suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Host has come into contact with the protagonist of this world: Lan Silo. Luck collection in progress…]
[Lan Silo's favorability toward the host: Extremely High. Collection efficiency +200%!]
[Luck: 0.001%… 0.0012%…]
Lan Tianyu froze slightly.
Then realization dawned on him.
Earlier, he had been wondering how he was supposed to obtain luck.
He hadn't expected it would work like this.
It made sense.
A protagonist was naturally favored by heaven and earth. Possessing luck was only natural.
But…
Silo was actually the protagonist?
Lan Tianyu searched through his distant memories.
With the assistance of the Six Eyes, a fragment of memory from more than twenty years ago slowly surfaced.
It was his memory of watching the TV series KO One.
From the first season to the fifth—
The scenes flashed through his mind like a rushing river.
Until the fifth season—
Where the memories gradually slowed.
Although he only remembered a small portion of the fifth season…
It was enough to confirm one thing.
Lan Silo was indeed the protagonist.
