The Legacy System

Chapter 292 - 292: Soul Stairway To Heaven

Master Takeshiba still didn't understand what had just happened inside that office. He had seen everything live, but it was still difficult for him to believe it.

The son-in-law he knew wasn't the type of guy that appeared in the screen. It was as if they were completely unrelated people.

For a moment he even thought that there was someone who was pretending to be him, or some identical guy with a completely different personality.

The probability that his son-in-law might have more than one personality was really high, but still the difference was just that baffling.

He didn't know what to make of all this, as he still thought that it was some kind of play, but the fact that it had happened it didn't change.

At the same time, he decided to act more cautiously towards that little brother of his son-in-law as he seemed to be really dangerous.

People like him, who use even their family members for their own benefit, without even battling an eye lid are truly dangerous.

Furthermore, he had three useless idiots in his own house that could easily fall for his tricks, and then be used against himself.

For a moment there, he even seemed to regret the fact that he had involved that venomous snake in his life, and family.

But if what happened was true, then he would need that venomous snake to deal with his son-in-law, and even find the location of that Master.

As long as he was able to find the location of that guy, there were so many possibilities from which he could make a storm winning from.

Only the future would be able to tell just what kind of a decision he had made, by bringing that guy in the equation.

On the other hand, Eric was in his taxi with his eyes closed. He was thinking about the current situation and how to deal with it.

The most pressing matter at the moment, was to give those potion formulae, and techniques that he had already give to the Takeshiba family, to the other big families.

He didn't care much about the reaction of his father-in-law, but the reaction of that son of a bi*tch he had for a brother was a problem.

Especially after his request, if he went on and did those deals behind his back, he would either go on a rampage, and come to confront him, or he would think that something was wrong.

It was still to early to throw that guy in a rampage, and even less to make him start doubting on him. He had to make sure that he laid low for the time being, which left him with only one other choice.

It was time to use his clones, and create himself a junior-brother disciple of his Master to take care of everything he couldn't.

After his one-month training in Africa, his Blood-Clone Technique had advanced quite a bit, and not to mention that he had bought the first level of that expensive Soul Technique.

That Soul Technique was called 'Soul Stairway to Heaven' and was divided in five big levels. Level one was the basics, as it was called 'First Step-Soul Separation'!

It was the basics of the technique. Basically, it was a Soul Separation and strengthening technique, making one continuously separate his soul and grow stronger.

According to the technique there was a limit to how strong one's soul could grow, as its growth would always be chained by Heavens.

It was impossible for any soul to be able to break through those chains alone, so the powerhouse who had created the technique had thought about a roundabout route.

Since alone it was impossible to be done, then he needed to increase the number of his forces, but it was impossible for two different souls to break through the same chains.

So, there was no other way but it had to be his own soul, he had to multiply his own soul and fight, but mere clones would always disappear, and not be as strong as the original.

He had to find a way that would make those clones strong enough to help him out without disappearing, and then return back to make the original stronger.

It was only after millennia of thought, and research that he had finally come to this soul splitting technique.

He would split his soul into more than one part intentionally, and then help each of those parts to grow stronger, and reach the limit.

Then he would call those parts back to become part of his original, and then with the help of the merge he would be able to break through those chains.

Since what he had couldn't grow stronger than one, he just had to start addition, and add another one to himself, and then add them up. 1+1>1 for sure.

The logic was quite normal, and it should be really effective, the only problem was the method, and its effect.

The first level of the technique, the one that Eric had managed to buy, was the basis of the technique, and it was clearly the most important part Soul Separation.

Just like the name suggested, it meant for Eric to make contact with his Soul Avatar, recognize it, and learn about it, and lastly to cut him in half.

Yup, cut him in half!

There wasn't much information on how he would feel doing it, or if he would actually be able to do it without damaging his Soul Avatar, and turning into stupid, but it would surely be painful.

He felt like suddenly he had a Nuclear Bomb on his hands, a manual on how it was done, and time to sort out the information and then try to defuse it.

If he managed to do it properly then he would end up with a JackPot win, but if he made even the smallest blunder on the way, he was gone.

Furthermore, it was a damn opportunity that he had been able to earn only after paying 1 million SP points. It felt like he had bought his doom himself, after all that hard-work in Africa!

As if that wasn't enough, his whole look on the future depended on this technique, and its results, so he had to make sure that he learned this as soon as possible.

Luckily the technique didn't immediately enter into the weird and difficult parts, as it had a lot of helpful materials how to slowly advance.

First exercise, or helpful not was splitting his attention, and processing ability into more than one, and his blood-clones were perfect for that.

Now he didn't need to go into a trance every time he controlled one of those clones, as he was able to split his conscience in two, and control himself and his clone at the same time.

It still gave him a terrible headache as he did so, but he never gave up, as he would continue training, until he passed out from the headache.

Recently he had started training with three, but he couldn't even last for a minute or two, and he was still far away from what he wanted.

In order to have an opportunity of putting his plan in action, he had to make sure that he was able to split his soul into two parts, and that wouldn't be anything easy.

Time was ticking for him, and now that he had made an appearance it was impossible for those guys waiting for him to just let him be, as he suddenly felt a great danger upon himself.

He didn't have time to think anymore, as a big truck came from his right side, and hit the taxi he was on, sending them flying in the air.

It was still early in the day, and the route that they were taking was quite crowded, so he didn't expect something like that to happen.

But still he acted quickly, as he broke the window of side he was on, and as the taxi was still in the air, he slipped through the window and outside.

It wasn't like he didn't want to take the driver with him, but the guy had his seatbelt on, and the airbags were opened, so he was safer like that.

If he had tried to pulled him outside with him, then he would have to kill that airbag, and his seatbelt, and then try to fit him through the window.

The guy would have probably suffered injuries that would take his life, so letting him inside the car was the best decision.

Furthermore, the people who had done all this were behind him, so as long as he stood by his side, the taxi driver would suffer even more.

Without thinking twice, Eric immediately jumped against the direction of the car's momentum, as he jumped towards the big truck.

Normally in anime, or manga, track-kun would help young man like himself be reincarnated as cheat being in another world, but unfortunately this wasn't an anime, and truck-kun just wanted to kill him.

In the time that it took him to think that, he had already reached the truck, as he made a stunning flip mid-air dodged the truck's front, and to the side of the driver.

The driver wasn't able to understand what had just happened, when he felt a glass breaking on his side, and then a strong hand pulled him out of his truck's window, and throw him on the ground.

Everything had happened so fast that he was unable to make sense of it, as his truck continued forward and crashed at a pole, and then at a building, going in flames.

Just as he was about to try and wake up, he felt a sudden tiredness all over his body, and his eyes slowly darkened, and then got closed for ever…
