Eye System

Chapter 100: Incredible Progression

As he left the room he was training in, he couldn't help but ask the system his status and was excited to see exactly how much he was able to progress in what was almost half a day of 'triple training' as he called it.

[System show me my status]

{Ding, the host's current status is:

Hearing this he jumped up in joy and was extremely happy with his progress speed he could accomplish with his clones that trained with him. 

[At this rate I should be able to break through the Mortal Rank to the Earth Mortal Rank within a week or maybe even less and it will be the first time, allowing me to finally surpass my past try at life with the Eye System in my past reality and at this incredible progression rate, I will become unrivalled] Lex thought to himself, happy that he was finally progressing and reaching his targets despite all the complications coming his way.

Looking across the hall, Lex saw Angela who was sat down baffled by where she was or what was going on and the Weston Family's daughter still unconscious lying on the ground.

"Lex is that you, where are we and what happened," she asked completely confused by how she got there and was slightly embarrassed by her ripped and revealing clothes.

Throwing her a shirt and some trousers and turning around, Lex gave her some clothes to cover herself properly as she embarrassedly shuffled into the clothes.

"Where are we," she asked running over to Lex.

"What is the last thing you can remember" replied Lex wanting to find out what had happened to her and what she could remember before he answered her questions.

"Well, you left me in that place outside of the sewers and after you disappeared," she said as she paused giving him an angry glare.

"And after looking for you for a while, I went home to clean up and then after that I was leaving my house when I was surrounded by some men that were talking about something to do with mist" she continued then paused again trying to remember exactly what they were talking about.

"The forbidden mist grounds, where we are now. You were kidnapped and bought here because you are a young female which could enter the forbidden mist grounds without dying once a year and I happened to find you and bought you here away from the bandits" he said, bombarding her with information and summarising the key points of what had happened.

She stood there dazed for a while, then couldn't help but notice that Lex had completely changed and was always there to save her when she was in trouble.

"How come you became so amazing from the way you were and why do you keep saving me," she asked baffled by why he had completely changed and continued to help her each time she was in trouble.

"Well let's just say I can sometimes be lucky, and am somebody who likes to return favours and help those that help me, so for all the past times you gave me food and healed me when I was on the verge of starving and dying and even when the entire world shunned and turned their back on me, you still would help me. This makes us friends and I will continue to help and protect you" he stated passionately with a completely serious expression.

Hearing such heartwarming words and remembering how many times he had saved her life, she couldn't help but feel an undeniable friendship with Lex even though she didn't really understand anything about him and how he became how he was.

She had a wide smile and with the undeniable sense of familiarity and friendship that she felt towards him, she couldn't help but ask.

"How did your hair go from being white to black and red," she asked as she began to laugh.

"Well, long story short, it was white because I used to be an old wizard, but now it is black and red because I am a devil" he replied jokingly.

Both of them began to laugh as the confusion she previously had was overshadowed by the safety she felt when she was around Lex who she knew was weirdly protective over her.

"Now that we are on the same page, I don't have time to waste and need to go back to my training," he said cutting off the humorous moment and returning to his serious self.

"By the way keep an open mind and be ready for what you are about to be told and taught" advised Lex as he walked off back into the room he was training in, leaving her standing in the golden hall confused about what he was talking about.

"Who is going to talk to me and teach me" she mumbled to herself.

Suddenly a female figure emerged in front of her that was formed from mist that appeared out of thin air.

She had an alluring figure and was wearing a light blue dress that seemed very luxurious and beautiful, but despite her looks, nobody would dare to stare at her with the cold aura and presence she was releasing and the all-radiating purple gem that was embedded in her forehead.

"What the hell" she screamed in shock as she jumped back away from the Jade Empress.

"I guess the enlightenment has begun" mumbled Lex as he chuckled to himself after hearing Angela's scream, knowing that her eyes were about to be opened to the real world and cultivation.

As the Jade Empress and Angela got familiar with each other and the Jade Empress explained to her everything that happened, Lex had returned to his training chamber.

Lex turned up the gravity on the gravitational pad to be multiplied by 5 times that it is normally and instantly he felt the difference between it and how it was previously as he was pushed down.

"Now that I know that Angela is in safe hands and will begin her training, I need to cram as much strength as I can before I have to battle against all those waiting around the forbidden mist grounds" he mumbled to himself as he sat down under the pressure.

Lex formed one clone using the Spacial Eye as the centre and had an idea that he wanted to experiment with.

[System is it possible for me to order my clone to learn the Mental Void Method then when I retract the Self-Cloning Power I can gain the knowledge of the method without learning it first hand] asked Lex who wanted to continue training, but also wanted to learn the Mental Void Cultivation Method.

{Ding, with the host's improved mental capacity and the way that the Self-Cloning Eye Power works, which allows the host to absorb everything that the clones gained, it will allow for the host to do so, however, the host will experience slightly painful mental strain in the process} 

[Is there no other consequences other than mental strain] asked Lex who had placed pain as the last of his worries in his chase for power.

{Ding, the host's mind is capable of storing the method and pain is the only consequence. But in the same way as the Weapon Guide you are using, it must be understood by the host and not only stored otherwise it won't be beneficial to the host} the system replied.

Lex was overjoyed and ordered the Spacial Eye Clone to begin storing and learning the Mental Void Method straight away.

It was instantly bombarded with knowledge and information that his brain was forcefully storing as the clone struggled to digest the information.

Seeing the clone working so hard to learn the method, Lex was still in awe of the ability that was so versatile, despite its single application, and was excited to find out and explore the abilities of all his Eye Powers.

Recovering his energy, Lex then forms another clone with his Self-Cloning Eye and used the Perceptive Eye as the centre and ordered it to train its body.

Lex couldn't help but imagine having thousands of clones that would all cultivate for him and he would gain all the power from them all and would be able to cultivate and with multiple times the speed that others could.

[System is it possible to form more clones] asked Lex, wanting the confirmation from the system before he attempted to try something new that may cause him harm in the process.

{Ding, it is possible for the host to produce as many clones as Eye Powers that he has access to, however, each clone being activated also has its toll on the host and can cause Eye Strain if overused and if the host cannot handle it} 

[Can I handle the strain of 3 clones] he asked knowing that he had 3 Eye Powers other than the Self-Cloning Eye and still wanted to increase his strength at faster speeds.

{Ding, the host will be able to bear the strain, but will feel continuous fatigue and drainage of energy} the system stated.

Hearing what would happen if he had 3 clones at once, Lex was elated.

[If it is only strain and pain that I have to experience for strength, how can I complain] he thought to himself knowing that others would do anything for even a fraction of the oppurtunities that he had and if he couldn't bear some pain to use it, he would be an idiot.

Recovering his energy once again, that took longer with the consistent fatigue of his clones being activated, Lex formed a third and final clone with his Self-Cloning Eye and relayed the Scouting Eye to the clone.

"You will cultivate your energy" Lex ordered to the final clone.

One clone was learning the Mental Void Method, one clone was training its body, another clone was cultivating its energy and Lex was switching between training his body and cultivating his energy.

Lex's continuous training had begun once again.
