The Legacy System

He hadn't actually expected that this pill would truly be able to power him up for a full Realm of evolution, despite the fact that he had only evolved recently.

To every normal revolver, this would be a great boon, a great opportunity that they could only dream about, yet for Eric, this was actually a great misfortune.

Many people might think of him as a hypocrite bastard, but there were many reasons why this was a misfortune for him.

First and foremost was the fact that he had yet to absorb the necessary dragon blood he had to absorb at his Realm. Since he wanted everything perfect, what was happening was a nuisance.

Secondly, if he did break through his current Realm for real, then he would be revealing his real strength, and condition to Madam Yan Meng, which would be a true fallacy.

Even though this woman seemed to get closer to him, and even gave him such a precious pill, the truth was that this was the case because she was confident of overpowering him.

If Eric actually showed strength and prowess beyond her knowledge then she would not only get wary of him but might even plan of taking him out as soon as possible.

For that reason, he had to actually think things through, and act with prudence. This pill was about to destroy that prudence of his, and he couldn't let this happen.

'Legacy System, I know you are there, tell me you have a solution for this!'

Since there was nothing he could do, besides trying to slow down the rate at which he absorbed the medicinal effect of the pill, he could only scream inside his Conscience Sea to the Legacy System.

Now wasn't the time to think about his dependency on the artifact, and he could only do whatever he could to escape this situation.

Even though the Legacy System had notified him of a temporary shut-down he didn't really believe it and thought that the Legacy system was just playing around, teaching him not to depend on the System for everything.

But now wasn't the time, or situation for him to think about those things, as this was a great emergency for him.

He needed a way, he needed help to escape the current pinch he had just fallen into. Unfortunately, his thoughts seemed wrong, as there was actually no response from the Legacy System.

No warning, no notification, no nothing!

'Look, this isn't the time to joke around and teach me a lesson you shitty thing, you have to help me out!'

Unable to bear the silence, Eric couldn't help but scream at the artifact once again with all he had, in hopes that he would 'awaken' the thing.

Unfortunately for him, the result didn't change, there was no response from the Legacy System, but Eric couldn't accept that, so he screamed once again,

'Come on you son of a gun, wake up and help me, otherwise, this will be the death for you and me!'

Once again though the only answer he received was total silence, as the Legacy System didn't seem to heed his words, screams, orders, and requests.

"What the hell are you doing, screaming this much at his time!? Did you lose your mind or something!?"

As Eric was actually losing his patience and calm, a clear bird chirping sound was heard not far from him, and he finally saw a ray of hope.

"My Empress you need to help me out, I need a way…"

"You need to seal that pill in your body, right!? Do you have to scream this much just because you found some poison inside it!?"

"What!?"

"Wait, don't tell me that you didn't know there was poison on that pill!? Damn, it seems like I ran my mouth too much!

Things won't be as interesting anymore!"

"What kind of poison is that!? How can I stop it!? My Empress, you wouldn't be willing to see your husband die before you marry him, right!? Or do you want me to become another woman's toy!?"

"Heehehe~! Talk like that and you will truly turn into her toy!"

"Come on my Empress help me!"

"Why should I!? That thing did a good job by entering hibernation, and if it weren't for the need to provide you with the blood drops, I would have done the same.

Even though you want, or don't want to, you are becoming too dependent on us! For that reason, I will not help you out this time!

Whether you succeed or not, it's your hard work and fate!"

"What!? How can you be so cold-hearted my Empress, you can't kill your husband like this, can you!? At least give me a hint!"

"Haiz~! You truly seem hopeless like this! Well, I guess I can give you a small hint, just remember that Dragons are invincible! Now go out there and break a leg!"

With that said, the Dragon Empress, or to be more accurate her voice disappeared all of a sudden, and Eric couldn't help but start thinking of his current situation.

Just like he had thought, Madam Yan Meng wasn't a trustworthy person. In fact, she was quite an insidious bi*tch, as she had played her role perfectly.

If it weren't for the Dragon Empress, Eric would have truly become her toy that she could play around with. She was a truly terrifying woman.

But now wasn't the time to think about that, as he needed to deal with the matter at hand, he needed to somehow seal the medicinal efficacy of the pill and fake his breakthrough.

His only help was the hint he received from the Dragon Empress, but what did she mean by those words. Did she mean that he didn't need to fear the poison?

Or did she tell him that he would be sage even if he got exposed!? No those two reasons didn't make much sense.

If there was a truly powerful poison inside that pill, then who knew what might happen, he had to find a way to suppress and seal it quickly.

But what did she mean by those words!? He had no idea at first when he finally remembered something.

What was the first thing he could think of the moment he heard Dragon!? Right, it was certainly their strength.

'Dragon Force!'

Yes, that was the greatest strength of a Dragon, Dragon Force!

Perhaps Dragon Force could help him with this situation! Thinking like that, he didn't waste time and immediately tried his best to use Dragon Force in order to seal the pill inside his body.

He could only hope that it would be useful, as the next moment he was most certainly happily surprised, the Dragon Force was clearly useful.

Once he managed to do that, he quickly faked his 'breakthrough' before relaxing and calming down exponentially, clearly surprising Madam Yan Meng that was beside him.

She had never thought that Eric would actually be able to have a breakthrough this easily, this guy was a great genius.

This time she had put her hands into something extremely valuable, and she couldn't help but wait to see how he would grow up and develop.

On the other hand, Eric opened his eyes with a clear satisfied smile on his face, as he said,

"I don't know how to repay you for this Madam! Perhaps I should be much more enthusiastic the next time I treat your poison!"

"Hehehe~! Perhaps you should, now Lu'er and some of my guards will accompany you to the Mansion, make sure that you don't leave their sight!

You never know what those guys might try!"

"Fine, I will do as you say! Don't worry, all those other guys will die once they come across me!"

With that said, Eric made his way towards the entrance of the warehouse under the company of Lu'er where some burly guys with black glasses and serious faces were waiting for him.

He didn't even bother to speak, as he just followed them with Lu'er to the car, and they returned to the Long Family Mansion.

It was a bit surprising for him that Madam Yan Meng hadn't told him anything about the poison, but he guessed that the day wasn't far.

She was just making sure that he had digested everything before she actually told him anything. For that reason she had left Lu'er on his tail, to make sure whether he had noticed something and didn't try anything funny.

Well, whatever it wasn't like he was in a hurry to deal with that thing, as for the moment it was nicely sealed inside his body.

With those thoughts in mind, the car reached the Long Family Mansion, as Lu'er followed him all the way to his room.

Then together with Wei QingPing, they started serving him the whole night, until they passed out, leaving Eric awake in his thoughts.

Few people could be called loyal and trustworthy in this world, and it was clear that Madam Yan Meng and Lu'er weren't part of that circle for him.

He had to pay at least double attention from now on! With those thoughts in mind, he didn't waste any more time and meditated a bit before falling asleep.

The next days, and slowly the whole week passed without many interesting things, as the day of the competition drew near.

There was yet any news from Madam Yan Meng about the poison, but he wasn't in a hurry. And neither was there any news from Young Miss Long!

But it didn't really matter to him, as right now, he was more in a hurry to return back to the Arena.

It was time for him to have some fun and train his body further. Only real-life and death experiences and battles could help him grow strong and fast…
