Chapter 89: 10 Days Later
BOOM
There was a large surge of energy around a slim yet muscled figure, that sat on the ground over rubble, in an empty open sewer, that caused an explosion.
[Has it passed 9 days] asked Lex to the system who had lost all sense of time.
He felt his body and energy storages had reached an incredible level and felt that these were the most productive days in his entire life.
{Ding, 9 and a half days have passed since entering this sewer and the host has 6 hours to complete the mission before you fail it} announced the system.
Throughout the almost 10 days Lex didn't sleep at all and spent the entire time either semi-cultivating or training with weapons.
He was still able to cultivate with his damaged and unstable meridians but it was extremely difficult and painful for Lex, but he still continued to semi-cultivate and made sure not to forcefully overload them with energy and over time felt that the pain was lowering.
All the muscles in his body were worked to the point they were tightened, strengthened and made much more flexible throughout his body, making him much better suited to using the nine weapons written within the long weapon guide that the mysterious old lady wrote, that Lex named the Beginner Blade Training, despite having all types of weapons.
His arms became extremely toned, but not only did the exercises train his upper body to be able to wield the weapons, but every single muscle in his body was incorporated with all the various movements, stances, defensive and offensive moves with all the various weapons.
Flexing his muscles, Lex did a final series of full body stretches after learning how important flexibility was in battle and for explosive power and evasion.
[System what LVL am I right now] asked Lex who didn't the whole time he was training.
The entire time was spent training and semi-cultivating and Lex relied on energy and Mortal Food Pellets to sustain his body and he didn't have time for sleep.
His palms were covered in blisters from holding hilts and his index and middle finger on both his hands were covered in cuts from pulling the bowstring and practising with both hands.
The walls of the sewers were covered with deep slash marks and Lex had broken a few weapons during his training process.
Lex decided he wouldn't ask the system to update him on his power LVL during his training as he thought that if he reached his target, he would become lazy and wouldn't train properly and if he didn't reach it, he would be put off.
{Ding, the host's current status is:
Name-Lex Black
Body Power LVL- Mortal LVL 63
Energy Power LVL- Mortal LVL 54
State- Healthy with mostly healed meridians
Eye Powers- Spacial Eye, Scouting Eye
Cultivation Methods- None
Skills- None} the system stated.
Hearing this Lex jumped up in joy and his small jump with the newfound power in his legs lifted him 10 metres into the air.
"This body really is amazing, no wonder the Eye Demon wants it so badly" mumbled Lex in awe wondering why he was so lucky to gain the Eye System and whether he would still be as talented as he was without the Eye System.
His body was more than 6 times stronger than an average person with each LVL in the Mortal LVL representing 10% if the original strength of the user if following what is said about levelling.
However, with Lex's constitution, talent and potential he was much stronger than that and couldn't be compared to those on the same LVL as him.
{Ding, not only has the host increased in strength, but the host's meridians are naturally healing with the abundant amount of energy they are receiving and with the host training and not straining them, they should be able to completely recover to how they were before.
The host should also notice that his vision has not only returned to how it was, but has improved and the host should be able to use Eye Powers once again} the system announced.
Lex had already noticed everything the system had told him, but hearing the confirmation made him overjoyed.
{Ding, However, it is a unique circumstance for your meridians to be healed and the host should make sure that they are never damaged again as it is almost impossible for others to heal and will be very difficult for you to heal it again} the system warned him.
The good news was just piling and Lex knew it wouldn't end there and he would receive the reward for becoming an E-Rank Voltac and felt that his strength was finally progressing at a speed he was mostly happy with.
Lex speculated he would be able to defeat those even 10 or 20 LVLs above him without much difficulty and with his new weapon techniques, his Eye Powers and powerful body and energy storage.
[I will quickly go to the Voltiac Base and become an E-Rank hunter then return and learn the Mental Void Method that I had postponed and begin to learn the Scarlet Flash Skill as I continue to train and get stronger] planned Lex addicted by the feeling of gaining strength.
Driven by him wanting to save Angela from death in this reality and wanting to find Ella, Lex knew that he should continue to train and strengthen himself.
"I need to get stronger faster," he said to himself still knowing that there was untapped potential within him and that he could still gain strength faster when comparing himself to when the Eye Demon is in control of his body.
He was beginning to lose the satisfaction he had when he thought about how weak he still was compared to the continent and even Max Ford who if he fought, wouldn't last a few seconds.
The thought of the continent he was struggling to gain a footing in, was merely a small island in the wide world made Lex's thirst for strength even higher and if he wanted to reach the wider world and explore he would need strength.
After a while, Lex realised he was returning to his previous ways of continuously doubting himself and slapped himself out of the endless cycle.
"I will not despair over what I cannot reach currently, but I will reach it and will never be complacent" he declares, strengthening and solidifying his resolve once again.
"I have no time to waste and should quickly complete my mission and return to train" he realised as he zoomed off towards the Voltiac Base.
