Chapter 367: New Acquired Strength

This was great, from now he wouldn't have to worry about his body limit, but just about his experience and inner energy.

But at the same time, he made a promise to himself to not rely on his Legacy System too much. In fact, he wanted to rely upon it as little as he could.

It wasn't because he was afraid of his Legacy System anymore, but because the Legacy System might now always be by his side.

As the matters stood, this might not be the only time that the Legacy System entered hibernation, and if that wasn't enough then when he helped the beauty inside to have a body, it would leave him.

He was perfectly clear that while he had equal rights upon this Divine Artifact as that beauty, he was still now the true owner.

Furthermore, after agreeing to that Equals Contract their lives were tied as well, as he could feel that even their life forces were connected.

It was a truly magical Contract, which clearly demonstrated that not only their fates but even their lives had been tied to each other.

If one of them died, the other wouldn't be able to live either. Willingly or unwillingly they now shared the same life.

So, it was kind of set in stone that they would be for each other. And Eric had already made the decision with his heart, that the beauty belonged to him.

Wasn't he searching for his Empress, someone to follow him until the last of his days and look at the world with disdain beside him!?

Well, he didn't have to search anymore, because he had already found her. She seemed childish, and easily agitated right now, but that was only because she wasn't complete, and was extremely weak.

As long as he managed to find the other pieces of the Divine Artifact, and complete his Legacy System, then he would be able to have a complete Empress.

His path wasn't easy, or simple, but he didn't care. If he wished for a simple and easy life, he wouldn't have bothered himself so much.

Life was truly unpredictable though, at one moment he felt like this Legacy System was his greatest disaster, the next it felt like it was his greatest luck.

But he knew that in order to make this great opportunity, and this great luck his, he had to work harder than anyone, and also be above everyone.

His true path had just started, and there was no sight of his goal, but that didn't damage his resolve or determination in the least, as he was fully confident in himself.

Only like that would he be able to move forward no matter how many thorns appeared on his way, and no matter how difficult it looked.

But now wasn't the time to think about that, as he felt his body full of newfound energy, and excitement, as he needed to go out there and have a little fight to try his new strength and level.

Thinking like that, he immediately tried to get up, but he actually used too much strength and jumped so high, that he even reached the ceiling of the tunnel.

If it wasn't for him actually using his arms in order to smooth his clash with the ceiling, then most probably either his head would have exploded in a puddle of blood, or the ceiling would be crocked.

But that didn't mean that the whole matter was over, as gravity was still doing its job, together with the inertia of the clash with the ceiling.

'BBAAAANNNNGGGGGG~!'

As he fell down like some kind of rocket, causing an extremely loud explosion sound, and the whole tunnel-like cave started trembling and shaking a bit.

Ren Jia who had been watching all this from outside couldn't help but think that her Master was some kind of monster, as this was the first time seeing someone change so much and so fast.

Still, she was extremely happy for her Master, she had been totally convinced, and had totally subjugated to her Master, as his happiness was her happiness since some time ago.

Eric felt quite complex inside himself, after seeing the result of his actions, and he didn't even have the face to look back at Ren Jia, as he continued walking forward.

At first, it was extremely difficult for him to control his new strength and walk forward normally, as he consecutively clashed with the ceiling, but after 10 steps his walking started to get better.

He didn't jump too high anymore, as his steps were slowly returning to normality, but a careful look would clearly show that he was still not totally in control of his strength.

Still, he didn't seem like he was in a rush though, as he just continued walking forward and perfecting his control over his newfound strength.

Each step served to deepen the understanding of his new strength, and its control as he couldn't help but have high expectations of himself.

By the time he had reached the 100 meters mark, he was walking casually, like a young man strolling in his backyard.

Even though it was a bit weird that his hands were just clasped to each other, and he seemed to be playing with his fingers.

The moment he passed the 100 meters mark this time, he not only didn't feel as terrified as he felt the first time, but this time he was also able to pinpoint the locations of his enemies.

With his evolution, his Spirit Power had increased greatly, and together with his Spirit Power even the benefits coming from it.

For example, his Spirit Sense area, before the evolution was only extremely accurate in a short radius area, but now that radius had increased to more than 100 meters.

He felt as if as long as something exited in the surrounding area of 100 meters, he would be able to sense it and know everything about it.

He didn't know his limit though, as he was only able to feel the things inside this level of the test, which was exactly 100 meters long.

At this level, there was a total of 100 puppets, but different from those until now these puppets weren't made of stone anymore but made of iron, and they were much more powerful.

Amidst these puppets, according to his Legacy System, the weakest was level 103 while the strongest was level 109, and there were 10 puppets in that highest level.

Even though this tunnel seemed narrow at first, the more one walked inside the more spacious it became, in fact at the end of it the tunnel was more than 100 meters wide.

At this moment his Legacy System was in hibernation, and it was impossible for him to have much knowledge on these puppets, and he could only find that himself, but it didn't matter.

These guys weren't his opponent at all, he didn't even need to play tricks with them anymore, as he continued walking forward as he had just entered inside his own home.

The moment when he entered the 50 meters area inside the tunnel, he felt the Leader Puppets suddenly move forwards, and rush towards him.

The wisest choice would be to just stand there and take care of the Leaders first and then deal with the rest, but Eric had neither the time nor patience.

Thinking like that, he didn't stop and wait for them but instead started walking forwards with even more momentum.

Since he had come here to test his fighting skills, then he could as well start from the beginning, and take care of these things in one fell swoop.

It took the puppets less than 8 seconds to suddenly appear in front of him and attack, but Eric didn't seem worried in the least.

He just awaited them to enter a close area, and then sent a natural-looking punch towards them. There was no energy involved in it, only pure physical strength.

These Puppets were brainless, but even if they had brains and sentience, they would think that the punch was useless against them.

It was human punch, against pure iron, just who would believe that Eric had a real chance against that. It looked more like Eric was some kind of idiot who had no idea of what he was fighting against.

'BBOOOMMM~!'

'BAANGGG, BAAANNGGG, BAAAANNNNGGG, BAAAANNNNGG…'

It was unbelievable, Eric's weak and natural-looking punch not only didn't break or suffer damage during the clash, but even caused such loud noises, and reactions.

If a normal person was able to witness this clash, they would think that they were watching some kind of weird show.

A normal punch, against four iron punches, not only wasn't defeated but also sent the 10 iron Puppets hurling towards the back like some kind of normal rocks.

It was extremely unexpected and weird, but it was true. The 10 puppets managed to take down more than 20 or 30 other puppets towards the walls and get destroyed.

Just the look of the original 10 puppets crashing on the walls and getting destroyed would be enough to dampen the spirits of a human being.

But these things weren't humans, and neither did they have sentience, the only thing they knew was to obey orders, without fear of death, nor worry of pain.

Almost half of them had gone flying but the rest didn't care, as they just jumped towards Eric as nothing had happened.

Eric was expecting for this, as otherwise how and where would he find good opponents for himself to train his new acquired strength.

So without even thinking twice, he told the other puppets to stay behind and watch, while he took care of these iron puppets by himself…
