The Legacy System

Chapter 117 - 117: 29 To 39 In Less Than A Minute!

Eric didn't have the time or the mind to check up on the effect at the moment though since he was concentrated on how to better and faster drive the truck inside his meridians.

He was getting the hang of it with the pass of time and its speed was clearly getting faster and faster, as he felt streaming warmth through his body.

That warmth felt so good that he thought he could get addicted to it, but he wasn't able to continue for long as his mental strength couldn't keep up with his desire to go on.

He used all the will he could to continue doing it even for a few seconds more, but he wasn't able to, as he woke up in the tub where the water had only taken a light black hue, and had a pungent smell to it.

It looked like he had shat inside the tub, as his skin had a glossy black feel to it. But still the effect on his body wasn't what he expected from two bottle of low-quality Body Tempering Liquid.

It was clear that he needed more of it if he wanted to make some real progress. With that thought on his mind, he emptied the tub, and filled it again with water.

He didn't bother to try and clean it for long, or to make the smell go because the tubs quality wasn't that good, not to mention that it was being almost every day for this purpose and the smell wouldn't go.

Not that it matter much to him, what he needed the most right now was to improve his physique, and level up, he didn't really care if the bathroom or the tub were clean or smelled or not.

With these thoughts in mind, he immediately threw inside the tub 4 low-quality Body Tempering liquid bottle potions in the water and entered inside.

This time he could feel that it was having some real good effect on his body, and his physique, but he could do much better, it seemed like adding two more wouldn't be a big problem for him.

While he was 'enjoying' the effects of the dip in the body tempering liquid he was having a look at his system and shop.

Actually to be more precise he was having a look at the Medium quality Body Tempering Liquid, which was clearly not cheap as it cost 50 SP points.

The good thing about it was that if Eric used a level 1 solvent potion which was easily concocted, which cost only 400 SP he could dissolve it into 6 low-quality Body Tempering Liquid potions.

If he used higher level solvent potions the rate would clearly increase, but at the moment this was the best he could do, still it was clearly a better deal than normal.

Furthermore he could use the solvent even for the other potions. Of course that had to wait for him to gather a few more SP points.

Slowly but surely time waited for no one as even the second process ended soon, but Eric was still unable to pass the level 30 cap.

He could feel that he was close to it but it still needed on last push, as he once again emptied the tub, and refilled it with warm water, while throwing 6 bottles of low-quality Body Tempering Liquid this time.

Eric could clearly feel the body tempering liquid act on his body this time, as he could even feel some kind of itchy feeling on his bones, and body structure.

He didn't understand what was going on at first, but it looked like his body was slowly growing, in height and structure.

While the change could be said to be almost inexistent, it still was a change, as Eric's body was slowly becoming more complete.

Eric was slowly getting enthusiastic about this change, because he could feel that he was closer and closer to reaching his limit, and surpass that limit.

With each passing moment Eric could feel that he was getting closer and closer to surpassing the cap, as the big sturdy wall in front of him started to wither, and show signs of cracking up.

The cracks started from the foundation and went up, increasing exponentially in number, length, and width with each passing moment, as finally it reached the breaking point, and it crumbled to dust.

As soon as the sturdy wall broke down in dust particles, Eric felt a huge warm energy start flowing unstoppably inside him, trying to fill all the new empty space inside his body.

It felt like the energy was never ending as his level started increasing like the miles indicator in a accelerating car.

It went from 29 to 39 in less than a minute, as he could feel that a new untouched power took root inside his body.

Until level 29 the raise in level had been more quantitative than qualitative, and one could say that each level made one feel that level's worth multiple of a normal person.

But after level 30 the change started to become more qualitative, and the change between levels was at least 10 times the level's worth when compared to someone of his previous level.

Not to mention that Eric passed 10 levels in just a minute, his strength increase was enormous. It was that big, that he could control it anymore, as he felt like a bear in a fish aquarium.

When finally the low-quality Body Tempering Liquid lost all effect and he tried to get up from his position, he broke the sides of the tub, as he tried to support himself up, and fell inside once again.

Clearly the tub wasn't that brittle, but he was that strong, and the worst part was that he couldn't control his strength.

He wasn't used to it, to him it still looked like he was using his normal strength, as he wasn't able to initially make sense that his normal had changed.

His new normal and his strength cap were clearly much higher than they were one hour ago, but his body couldn't get used to it.

The problem was that he was still inside the broken tube, and that he had to take a shower to remove the bad smell.

There was no way he would be able to do that himself, he had to ask the ladies inside the house for their help, he had no other choice.

Just as he was about to raise his voice, and call for them he remembered what happened with the tubs sides, and was stopped in his tracks.

Not daring to do anything inappropriate at the moment, he sent Mina a mental message to come inside the bathroom with Akira, as he needed them both.

Mina and Akira were a bit surprised with this sudden request as earlier he had asked them to not disturb him if it wasn't for some important reason, but still they immediately made way for the bathroom.

Reaching there and opening the bathroom door they were surprised at the look of Eric inside the broken tub, unable to understand what had happened.

They didn't really care about the smell and the look though as they were used to it, they were doing the same bath like that almost every day and night.

Without losing much time Eric immediately gave them a short look on the situation he was in, and told them to clean and wash his body, as he didn't know what would happen if he did it himself.

The two ladies were flabbergasted at what they heard but they didn't doubts Eric's words, as he seemed serious in what he said.

Not to mention that the broken sides of the tub were already a clear warning and show of his words. With that line of thought they slowly started washing and cleaning Eric's body.

Everything happened in a weird quietness, and atmosphere, as Eric didn't even dare to think of doing something that he couldn't control.

Even when they finished washing his front part of his body, he used the tinniest thought and power, and still jumped more than 30 centimeters, from the ground as he turned around, and the tub almost cracked.

Once again the two ladies were clearly warned of Eric's new strength and potential. They were clearly shocked at this sight of him, as they didn't understand how it happened.

But since Eric was a clump of mysteries in front of them, none of them truly got surprised at the sight of this.

On the other hand, Eric just felt that he had made a miscalculation when he had decided to do this in here, and that he should have found someplace in some isolated place in open nature.

It seemed like he would have to bother Old Ghost tomorrow, and make him or someone under him his sparring opponent until he had a better grasp of his strength.

When they finally finished cleaning him up, and washing him, Eric got up really, really carefully but even then he got up with a jump.

And while he was walking towards the bedroom he was clearly walking with small jumps all the time. It was clearly a funny sight to see, as Akira and Mina weren't able to hold their giggles and laughter.

On the other hand, Eric didn't know how to feel as he himself found this whole situation complicated. He had gotten stronger, and his level had increased quite a bit.

But right now he felt like a big baby, that couldn't even walk, speak, or laugh properly. Everything was too big for him to be able to use it.

Thinking like this his situation was truly funny, but he couldn't laugh from the fear that he wouldn't be able to control his volume, truly not knowing to cry or laugh…
