Chapter 131 - Preparation (2/2)

Of course, Aurus knew that his evolution was long overdue, hence he thought that after grinding all of his skills would be a good time to evolve.

...

Whoosh!

It only took an instant for Aurus to enter the Tempest Cliff Inheritance as he was the owner of the inheritance, only needing to be on the green magic circle that served as the entrance for a short bit.

As the sight of the green jade hall entered his eyes, he could not help but feel nostalgic for a short bit. Not long after, he started to hover once more, commanding the system that controlled the inheritance to open the pathway that led to the room that was filled to the brim with skill books.

It only took Aurus a few seconds to arrive at the room thanks to his newly heightened speed, hastily looking for the soul searching skill he wanted to get after increasing his Soul Power to 188?

Will he increase his Soul Power after this? Probably not.

”Not this...not this one either...” As he was hastily shuffling through all of the bookshelves in the room in search for the soul sealing skills, a pile of books from the shelves fell on the floor due to the breeze he was generating. Eventually though, he stopped searching as he had finally found the skill he wanted. ”Here!”

Ding!

'You have learned the skill [Soul Suppression].'

'[Soul Suppression] is compatible with [Soul Manipulation], combining together into the Special-grade skill [Soul Morphosis].'

”Now all I have to do is to max this skill out to possibly X-grade Mortal level and everything will be fi—” Just as Aurus was about to start grinding his newly obtained skill to its peak, everything in his surroundings turned white, shocking him so much to the point where he could not continue his sentence.

Soon enough though, he felt a familiar aura within this white space, giving him the urge to ask himself, ”Ain't this the place where I met...” As he continued to look around, a silhouette extremely familiar to him eventually showed itself to him.

”Kevin!”

”I've been trying to get a hold of you for a while now!” Kevin, who was standing at the moment in the white space, could not help but be angry as he looked at Aurus.

”Well I'm sorry then! I entered an inheritance and became a Ruler and well...” After hearing Kevin berate him after meeting after a very long time, Aurus could not help but reason his way out.

As Kevin continued to listen to Aurus' reasons, he could not help but perk his ears up after hearing a specific word. ”Hey Aurus, did you just say you became a Ruler?”

At first, Aurus was surprised to hear such a question out of Kevin's mouth. Nonetheless, he answered it, saying, ”Yeah. Ruler of the Void, lowest level though.”

”To think that you can become a Ruler at your level...” Kevin was at a loss for words after looking at Aurus. He could not help but strengthen his belief at the idea that this stick...well, wooden sculpture in front of him would definitely do some big things in the future.

”Congratulations on becoming a Ruler of the Void, but let me ask you a question.” Although Kevin was surprised, he was only pleasantly surprised. He then asked Aurus a question he wanted to ask all this time.

”Why haven't you created a clone yet?” Kevin has already warned him a long time ago that danger would befall him in the near future, but it seemed that he wouldn't learn.

”Oh, I was just about to create one after I leave this inheritance,” Aurus replied to Kevin's question and continued, ”I didn't have enough SP...I mean, FP before. Right now, I have more than twice the amount needed...probably.”

”That much? If so, that'll be even better for your clone then,” Kevin said as he heard Aurus talk about having more SP than needed. Wait, it was called FP.

”What's great about having more FP? Could you perhaps enlighten me, Kevin?”

”Well first off, the FP requirement needed to activate the clone creation skill will only allow you to create a low-level clone. You could always nurture it, but you would be committing a lot of resources into it. Not only that, its form is limited to your current form as well,” Kevin started to explain.

”If you infuse more SP into your clone though, you'll be able to change the clone's form and even change its existence level if needed,” Kevin started to talk about the good points of having more FP than needed. Eventually, he said something that caught Aurus' attention.

”Not only that, by infusing more FP into your clone, you can even create a resonance skill between your clone and yourself, increasing your stats by a great degree once your two bodies are in close proximity.”

”...” Aurus became silent for a bit as he pondered on what to say. After a few seconds though, he opened his mouth and asked.

”Why didn't you tell me earlier then?”
