[Name: Lothur Ritter]

[Physique: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger]

[Bloodline: Life Devourer]

[Cultivation: level 6]

[STR: 15.6] [CON: 23] [DEX: 15.3] [AGI: 17.4]

[INT: 68.8] [PER: 68.8] [WIL: 68]

[EVF: 40]

'Uh? Why has my EVF decreased?' He opened his mouth in surprise, ignoring that he had had optimal results in just a little over 2 hours of training with Hilda.

While he was trying to understand the situation, Hilda watched him intently, seeing how the minor bruises around his arms and face were fading.

'What? He is recovering without even ingesting a regenerative potion?' She opened her mouth in surprise, shocked at such a desirable ability of this young man.

"Lothur, you have a regenerative ability? Is that your Physique?" She asked as she took one of his wrists, interested in discovering more about this young man.

"Regenerative ability?" Lothur finally paid attention to his mother-in-law as he watched the minor wounds on his body healing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

"That..."

'That's new!" He exclaimed in his mind, but then a system message appeared in front of him.

[Fusion of the innate ability coming from the host's Physique with the innate ability from the host's Bloodline generated a new ability, Super Regeneration.]

[Super Regeneration: when the host is injured above the body's average endurance capacity, the ability will use EVF points to recover the host's body.]

[In case the host runs out of EVF, the skill will go into hibernation mode if the injury is not fatal.]

'Oh?' His eyes fluttered without him understanding the reason for this change.

'Why did this happen? System?' He asked in his mind.

But the system was not a person for him to keep asking questions.

Such a thing only worked with specific commands, so he was ignored.

Meanwhile, Hilda noted that he looked doubtful. 'This must be your first time doing this...'

"Well, it seems you have an outstanding skill. So, congratulations, this will certainly be of great benefit to you..." She said as she tapped his right shoulder, feeling good about discovering this trait of his. 'And for my future little grandchildren too!'

Bloodline and Physique were passed down through the generations from parent to child. And as much as this was usually a mixture of the characteristics of the father and mother, this functionality was a little different for absurd powers.

When a Bloodline or Physique ability was way outside the curve, it did not matter how weak or strong the other person's Bloodline and Physique were. The offspring of that couple would inherit that ability!

That was as if the ability tried to protect itself, not allowing itself to mix with others and ensuring its 'survival.'

Since Hilda knew this, she could already imagine Elke and Lothur's children being born with their father's ability!

Lothur had no idea what his mother-in-law was thinking, but since there was no reason to be sad about gaining an ability, he smiled at her and thanked her. "Hehe, thank you, madam."

"Lothur, you don't have to call me in that cold way all the time. For now, when we are alone, you can call me mother-in-law."

She winked at him. "But let's keep it a secret in front of your father-in-law, okay?"

Lothur noticed the difference in this woman's treatment, but since Elke would be his no matter what, he did not care. "All right, mada... Mother-in-law."

"That's better!" After that, she looked toward where Elke was standing and said. "I can feel that my daughter is almost finished. Shall we check on her?"

"Hmmm."

...

When they reached where Elke was standing, she was still in a lotus position, while the Soul Bone could no longer be seen there.

At the same time, the expression of pain on Elke's face did not hide the fact that she had suffered a lot to get there. However, it also revealed that the worst was over.

Seeing this, Hilda smiled in satisfaction, feeling that her daughter was about to gain a new ability and a power bonus!

Lothur also saw this.

[Name: Elke Becker]

[Cultivation: level 3 -> 4]

[STR: 4.1 -> 5.3]

[CON: 11.8 -> 14.2]

[DEX: 5.8 -> 7.4]

[AGI: 6.1 -> 7.8]

'Elke has gotten much stronger! After this week, she will certainly have a better time training and progressing within the academy...'

'Great!' He smiled at the improvements his girl was experiencing, pleased that he had produced much of this and knew he could do this with others of his women.

As he thought about this, Elke opened her eyes and finally felt the feeling in her soul go away due to the Soul Bone stabilizing her situation.

Because of this, she felt all her focus and attention going to the maximum, revealing a different world to her.

And with that, a broad smile appeared on her face as she jumped from where she was into Lothur's arms.

"Lothur..." She hugged him as she went towards his lips.

Lothur felt no shame at being in front of his mother-in-law and did not refuse the intimacy his woman wanted.

"Mmmmm~" The two kissed passionately in front of Hilda, making this mature woman blush at seeing such a scene.

"Cough! Cough!"

"That's enough, you two! Have more control. I'm still here." She said to stop them from doing anything else in front of her.

"Mom..." Elke looked at that woman with a slight embarrassment on her face.

"It's okay. I've seen much worse things, don't you think?" Hilda asked, making Lothur laugh as that young redhead hid her face in his chest.

She put her smile aside and asked her daughter. "Anyway, tell me about the skill you got. I want to see what this Soul Bone has brought you..."

Elke then tried to ignore her embarrassment and said. "My special ability is Soul Shock. It gives me the power to use a glance to launch a soul attack against my opponents."

"That should be particularly powerful against people weaker than me."

"Oh?" Hilda smiled upon hearing this, pleased with her daughter inheriting such a helpful ability. 'Something soul-related, eh? They were fortunate to get such a valuable Soul Bone...'

"Very well, make good use of it." She said as she patted her daughter on the head.

"Hmmm." Elke shook her head and felt an even greater attraction toward Lothur. "Besides, I think I've awakened my Physique, mom."

"Uh? When did this happen? How did you do that?" Hilda opened her eyes in amazement.

No one in the Frost family had ever managed to awaken their own Physique. So, naturally, this woman was shocked and curious to know their hereditary ability.

Elke then said. "I don't know for sure. I still have to test it properly. But I seem to have a sixth sense for valuable things..." She blushed as she looked at Lothur.

"Things of value? Sixth sense?" Hilda frowned her eyebrows. "You mean you can sense things of value in your vicinity?"

"Hmmm. I felt it when Lothur and I found our Soul Bones, and now I feel it coming from him..." She sincerely said.

"Are you feeling it in me?" Lothur asked in surprise. 'I don't have any other valuable resources, so that can only be me...'

'Wow!'

'I truly am terrific!' He internally laughed.

Hilda was surprised by this. "Do you feel that way about Lothur?"

"Yes..." She shook her head in agreement while looking at him in silence. 'Only what I feel is hundreds of times stronger than what I felt in that underground place...'

'That must be because of his skill in bed...' Mother and daughter thought the same thing, even though they were both silent, just pondering over this strangeness.
