Chapter 324 - 324: Level 80!
For more than an hour, Eric screamed inside that bathtub until he lost his voice, and even then, his shaking, and trembling continued without stop.
This was the first time that he had tried a High-quality body tempering liquid, and he had to say that it was out of his imagination.
Even that first time when he had thrown more Body Tempering liquid than he should inside that motel room, wasn\'t comparable to this damned experience.
When it was over, he had immediately passed out, he could only take out a few medium quality Health Potions out of his storage ring and hope that Ren Jia would understand what he meant.
…
When he awakened, he felt extremely refreshed, like he had been reborn at that moment, but the next instant his nose was attacked by the stinky smell of the bath he was inside of.
If this were the first time that it happened to him, he would most probably have thought that he had shit in his bathtub while he was inside.
In fact, the smell was even worse than that, much worse than that. But he knew that it was due to his body\'s impurities being discharged out of him.
It had been some time since the last time that the bathwater had turned that black, but after that torturing session, he thought that it was the least that it could happen.
Well, he was already used to that, so it didn\'t make much of a difference for him, but when he turned his head around to look at Ren Jia he was startled.
Her face came right in front of his, as she seemed to be hanging her head at the corner of the bathtub, as she had fallen asleep in there.
He didn\'t know for how long he had been out but considering the fact that he had tired her once again before entering the bathtub, it was more than comprehensible.
What startled and surprised him the most though was the fact that despite that terrible smell, and the clear discomfort in her face, she had still stayed beside him all this time.
If she had taken him out of the bathtub and washed his body, and then lied beside him would have been good too.
But she most probably was worried about him, and the fact that she might hurt him as she didn\'t have a full idea of what was going on.
So, she could only do her best without moving him much and causing him any extra discomfort. The Health Potions he had taken out before passing out had all been diligently passed to him as well.
His Legacy System would always keep a report of everything that entered or left his body, in order to check all his life signs, vitals, and everything else that happened to him.
So, he had a clear idea of the Health Potions that had entered his system, and he felt appreciative of the beauty by his side. This time he had found another gem for himself.
With those thoughts in mind, he slowly took out his hands out of the dirty and stinky water, as he removed her head a little bit, and then stood out of the bathtub.
He didn\'t want to wake her up, but it was impossible after all his movement, as her eyes trembled and opened, only for her to find herself on Eric\'s arms in a princess carry.
The moment she opened her eyes, she didn\'t care about herself, her position, or the fact that she was naked, as she hugged him with all the strength she could muster, almost screaming and crying,
"Master, Master, you are fine! Thank Heavens! I thought something bad happened to you! I was so scared!"
Eric felt a bit touched by her actions, but he didn\'t give himself out, as he said with a calm, and natural voice,
"Yes, I am okay now! But are you sure you want to hug me like that!? I stink!"
It was only at that time that Ren Jia was reminded of the smell coming from him, as she almost vomited right then and there, but she kept hugging him as she said,
"It doesn\'t matter, as long as you are okay!"
Even though their encounter was extremely weird, rushed, and complicated Eric felt extremely warm inside his heart, as he thought that this woman had a lot of wife material inside her.
But unfortunately, now wasn\'t the time for him to bask in that feeling and make love to her, as there was something much more important that he had to do.
Without moving in the least, he told her in a gentle voice,
"Jia\'er take your hands off me and slid away from my embrace!"
Ren Jia was extremely shocked hearing those words suddenly, as she felt like her heart had been crushed to dust, as she said with an extremely weak voice,
"Does Master hate me!? Or do you think I am pretending!?"
Eric was startled at her words, as he couldn\'t believe that the beauty in his arms had understood his words like that, as he quickly tried to explain himself,
"No, it\'s not that! You belong to me now, and I am your Master, that will never change. But I have had an explosion in strength, and can\'t control my strength well now.
If I make a sudden move, I might end up harming you! Just let go, and you will understand soon!"
Ren Jia was happy that her thoughts weren\'t the case, but she still felt a bit reluctant as she let go of him, and then slid out of his arms.
She was still a bit apprehensive of this whole situation because if that was the case, then how was he able to pick her up like that.
But she didn\'t know that it had taken Eric a lot of time, and patience to do something like that, as a whole this time he was trying his best to use just the tiniest portion of his physical strength.
As she was still looking at him with a curious, and apprehensive look though, Eric suddenly disappeared from her sight.
She didn\'t understand what was going on, as he disappeared into thin air. The worst passed through her mind at that moment, that Eric had forsaken, and abandoned her.
\'Booommm~!\'
The next instant though she was totally dumbfounded when she heard a powerful collision at the entrance of the dark cave.
When she turned her head to that side and saw what was happening, she couldn\'t control her facial expression as her jaw almost fell to the floor.
At the entrance, Eric had just struck one of those stone Samurai\'s with a punch and turned him into rubble.
She had heard only one strength explosion sound, so it was safe to assume that Eric had just used only one punch, and the results were clearly out of any expectation of hers.
Just the other day, Eric was completely overpowered by these stone Samurais\' while as he could only run away with her and had even received a cut on his back.
But now he was able to crush one of them into rubble with just one punch, the difference in strength was more than obvious to her.
As she couldn\'t believe herself to have ever doubted her Master! She was truly a rebellious heart, but her Master had become the ruler of that heart.
She couldn\'t allow herself to doubt him anymore. From that moment on, she would always take her Master\'s words as the ultimate truth.
Even if she was told to kill herself, she would do it, as long as her Master asked her to do it!
On the other hand, Eric had no idea what Ren Jia was thinking about at the moment, as he was focused on something else.
He could feel strength and energy coursing through his body, making his blood boil in excitement.
Not only had he leveled up to level 80, but at the same time, his strength and all other physical features had received an explosive boost, but the numbers beside showed the opposite.
For example, besides his strength stat there wasn\'t a number higher than 80 anymore, but instead, there was a low number like 1.1 which didn\'t make sense in the least.
For that reason, after crushing that first stone Samurai to rubble, he stopped in a daze and started looking at his Legacy System, only to read the following explanation at the end of the stats section.
"*** From now on the stats will be measured in comparison to people at level 100!"
Reading that notification, he couldn\'t help but rub his eyes, and read it again, as he couldn\'t believe just what he was reading.
He was only level 80 at that moment, and yet his stats were enough to compare with a level 100 expert.
At least in his eyes, it was an expert, because clearly, his Legacy System had a different idea for it. As if they were nothing more than commoners.
Well, he didn\'t care much about it, he was just extremely pleased that this had happened to him, as he wished so much to fight with a level 100 expert using their physical strength at that moment.
He knew it was crazy, but still, he couldn\'t help but imagine just how great, and how much it would benefit him at the moment.
As he was lost in his dreams, and ideas though, the time was ticking in the outside world, as the stone Samurais\' had awakened from their slumber, and were ready to attack him.
At that same time, the one that he had crushed to rubble, started regathering once again into what it was and used his stone katana to make a cut towards him.
"Master!!!"
