"Indeed, a Bloodline Power."
Ningguang nodded. "As for what kind it is specifically, the Shopkeeper will have to explain."
Just because Baixiao had pulled the Byakugan didn't mean this red orb contained the same power.
"Shopkeeper."
Yoimiya looked at Felix with a puzzled expression. "What is this Bloodline Power?"
Was 'bloodline' a literal type of blood?
"This is a Kekkei Genkai, or Bloodline Limit," Felix chuckled. "It's speed-oriented. As for how fast it is, you'll have to test it yourself. If you develop it well, you can approach the speed of light."
[Swift Release (Jinton)]: Allows the user to move with incredible rapidity, potentially approaching light speed when mastered. Enemies cannot track the user's position or timing.
This Kekkei Genkai was different from Baixiao's Byakugan. It was pure velocity.
"Speed of light?!"
Yoimiya's jaw dropped.
Is he joking? Approaching light speed?
She couldn't even fathom that concept.
"Light speed!"
"How fast is that?"
"Light speed???"
It wasn't just Yoimiya who was stunned. Yanfei, Xiangling, and the others were equally flabbergasted, unable to believe their ears.
Approaching light speed? That's too exaggerated.
Even Ningguang was bewildered.
Light speed? Just how fast is that?
She genuinely had no frame of reference for such velocity.
Keqing stared at the item in shock. This bloodline can boost speed to that level? How?
"Of course, that's only possible after mastering it to the extreme. Most people could never reach that level in a lifetime," Felix clarified, seeing their stunned expressions. "But it allows for continuous, high-speed movement invisible to the naked eye. In short, it boosts your speed immensely. You'll have to test the specifics yourself."
"Okay!"
Yoimiya reached out excitedly.
The mass of red light instantly merged into her body.
In a split second, she felt a distinct change.
A miraculous energy entered her, making contact with her elemental power. It fused with the Pyro energy stored within her, calming its natural volatility.
Usually, the Pyro energy around her, even when controlled, possessed a boiling, explosive quality. But with the introduction of this bloodline, that boiling nature seemed to mellow out.
Of course, if she activated her abilities, she could still unleash explosive power.
It was a magical transformation.
Yoimiya took a deep breath, sensing the changes and the new knowledge of Swift Releaseimprinting on her mind.
Whoosh!
The next second, Yoimiya attempted to move. She vanished from her spot instantly and reappeared outside the shop.
The speed was so extreme that even Ningguang couldn't react.
"So fast!"
Ningguang's pupils contracted sharply as she saw Yoimiya suddenly standing outside.
Even Anemo Vision holders weren't this fast.
Perhaps an Anemo user pushing their power to the absolute limit could compare, but Yoimiya was a Pyro user!
Ningguang felt a sense of unreality.
Keqing's Mangekyo Sharingan could release black flames despite her being Electro. Now, Yoimiya, a Pyro user, possessed speed that rivaled or exceeded Anemo.
And this was just the beginning. She hadn't even trained with it yet.
The Shopkeeper said that once mastered, it could approach light speed!
"That's... too amazing."
Xiangling stared, dumbfounded.
It happened so fast she hadn't even registered Yoimiya moving before she was already outside. Yanfei's eyes were wide as saucers, looking as if she'd seen a ghost.
Hu Tao puffed out her cheeks, staring at Yoimiya through the doorway.
Why didn't I get a fun bloodline power like that? If I had it, I could do whatever I wanted!
"It's... so magical."
Outside, Yoimiya looked around in shock.
She had only intended to test it lightly, aiming for the door. She hadn't expected to end up outside before she could even process the movement.
If she hadn't been cautious, she would have slammed face-first into a wall!
Experiencing the power firsthand left her awestruck.
If she kept training, as the Shopkeeper suggested, could she really reach light speed?
"Uh."
While Yoimiya was reeling from the shock, Doyle and Wenqi, standing guard at the door, stared at her with wide eyes.
When did this woman come out?
It was as if she had teleported in front of them. She had just run into the shop a moment ago. If she had walked out normally, they would have noticed.
"So amazing."
Yoimiya walked back into the shop, her face flushed with excitement.
This bloodline power was incredible.
If she could master it, she was confident she could become even faster!
"That's incredible, Yoimiya," Xiangling said enviously. "With this power, you can run away from any danger instantly."
"Hehe, I really have to thank the Shopkeeper."
Yoimiya looked at Felix with shining eyes.
If not for his jars, she never would have obtained such miraculous power.
Coming to Liyue was the right decision!
Yoimiya grinned as a thought crossed her mind.
When she returned to Inazuma, Kujou Sara wouldn't be able to catch her even if she wanted to! She could run circles around the General and tease her endlessly.
Just thinking about it made her giddy.
Yoimiya looked at the remaining two jars and smashed them decisively.
Bang! Bang!
Two shattering sounds rang out.
Another bright red flower, resembling neon clouds, fell out.
[Silk Flower]: A crimson flower that blooms like rainbow clouds in Liyue. Can be made into silky fabric.
The final jar was empty.
"Another Silk Flower."
Seeing only a flower from the last two jars, Yoimiya smiled brilliantly regardless.
Her haul was already massive. She didn't care about empty jars anymore.
Infinite Ammo Sniper Rifle, Storage Ring, Swift Release Bloodline, Liyue specialties, and magical gadgets... she had made a killing!
All for just one million Mora.
And it was all thanks to Felix.
"Thank you, Shopkeeper!"
Yoimiya grabbed Felix's hand and shook it enthusiastically.
Felix shook his head with a smile. "It's all your own luck."
"So unfair."
Hu Tao puffed her cheeks out again, watching the scene.
She suspected Felix was playing favorites!
She had thought her Soul Scepter was nice. But compared to what Yoimiya, Keqing, and Ningguang got? Theirs seemed way more fun.
And I was here first!
Hu Tao pouted.
"Yoimiya, now that you've finished opening jars, we should talk," Ningguang said with a smile, watching Yoimiya cling to Felix's sleeve like an excited child. "First, congratulations on your prizes. But I wanted to discuss that Infinite Ammo Sniper Rifle."
"I would like Liyue's alchemists to study your rifle to see if we can replicate it. If we can, I plan to equip the Millelith with new weaponry to better protect the city."
"Whatever conditions you have, name them. As long as it is within my power, I will agree!"
Ningguang was dead serious.
She knew the value of that weapon.
If it could be mass-produced, it would be a massive upgrade for Liyue's military.
She considered the Fatui skirmishers' fireguns clunky, but they were still dangerous in the hands of ordinary soldiers. However, due to Liyue's strict security, very few armed Fatui operated openly in the region.
Now, a sniper rifle far more terrifying than any Fatui firegun had appeared. This was Liyue's opportunity.
As the Tianquan, she had to act for Liyue's future.
"Mmh, sure."
Yoimiya agreed readily. "I've gained so much from coming to Liyue. If not for this shop, I wouldn't have any of this. Your alchemists can study the rifle. But I do have a request."
She had obtained the gun in Liyue, and Ningguang wasn't asking for herself, but for the protection of the people. Yoimiya was happy to help with such things.
Of course, she was most grateful to the Shopkeeper.
Yoimiya looked at Felix, her face turning slightly pink.
Felix: "???"
Seeing Yoimiya looking at him with a sudden, shy blush—different from her earlier excitement—Felix was confused.
What's with her now?
"What is your request?"
Seeing Yoimiya agree so quickly, Ningguang smiled.
As long as she agreed, the request wouldn't be too difficult. Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought it up.
