Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Crack.

"Sigh... I never thought that I would step in this forsaken place again ..."

Leo casually thought, staring at the cracked bones beneath him in complete silence, reminiscing about the first time he stepped in this place and the first time he killed a human being.

Raising his head toward the depths of the passage, Leo's expression slowly became tense, halting as he scanned the surroundings stiffly.

Due to the lightning in the far distance, Leo didn't need to summon flames to clearly see the surroundings... Allowing him to get a clear picture of the place, still making him wonder how many beings were buried in this cemetery.

"And become forgotten..."

(Although his senses allowed him to see clearly at night, it's not to the point that it was comparable to when it was morning.)

...

Sizzle~ Sizzle~

Ding!

-0.1 health.

-0.1 health.

Tongues of silver lighting flickered toward the surroundings, dyeing the environment in mesmerizing light as some of it lightly touched Leo's being, making parts of his shadow scatter toward the atmosphere... Vanishing into thin air.

"How uncomfortable."

Mumbling under his breath, feeling a numb sensation sweep toward his being, slowing his thought process by a small amount. Leo unhurriedly began to move forward, suppressing the uncomfortable feeling he was experiencing, wanting to observe the advancement of the white rabbit in the distance...

Since he was already at the peak of the foundation realm, Leo wanted to gain a deeper understanding of how to break through toward the Core Formation realm... and watching a being advancing toward it should be the best choice for him to learn.

Although he already gained a preliminary understanding of how to break through toward the Core Formation realm (thanks to the help of Roland), it's still better to gain a deeper knowledge regarding it...

Allowing him to gain the best advantage and also avoid unnecessary risks when he attempted to advance in the future.

"It's better to be cautious than sorry.'

Squeakkk!

Within the depths of the seemingly catacombs...

Thick silver lightning streaks could be seen heavily striking the body of the white rabbit within its centre unceasingly, causing the white rabbit to cry in agony as its white glistening fur began to fall from its body, revealing the charred physics beyond...

Within the environment, the grey skeletons and bones of countless deceased have already become pulverized under the unending assault of the lighting, unfolding the bland ground beneath...

While far beyond the onslaught of the lightning, some bones with enough durability already become charred black...

Making the scene not different from hell and the judgement of heaven...

Squeal!

Squeaking loudly, a thin silver barrier, shining akin to a moonlight slowly materialized around its body, weakening the lightning that entered toward it before hitting its body with force.

Boom!

Squeak...

However, although the force weakened considerably, the damage it took couldn't be said a little... Moreover, its injury began to accumulate every second, making its vision blur as it gritted its teeth in pure determination.

Squeak! (For more spiritual fruits! For the spiritual fruits!)

It shouted loudly, fueling the Qi it was feeding toward the silver shield by amount, causing it to reveal brilliance that travelled toward the afar, making its ability to weaken and withstand the lightning increase by times...

However, at the same time, the Qi within its body began to reduce at fast speed... Making it anxious and panicked, yet didn't recede its action, continuing to fuel it with Qi as madness reflected within its big black eyes.

Boom!

"I couldn't advance further, I could only watch from this distance."

Leo thought seriously, hiding behind the small mound in the far distance as he gravely inspected/observed the thick lighting streak in the stretch.

Squinting his eyes, he seems to see a small figure within its centre, bathing within the lightning as its roar (squeaking) of unwillingness and determination weakly travelled toward his senses...

Making his expression change as he instinctively took a step back in fear.

"The suppression of the Core Formation realm cultivator toward beings below it..."

Clenching his imaginary teeth, Leo took a deep breath, opening his eyes wide awake as he began watching everything with an engrossed expression...

Not letting a single scene slip under his watch as his mind began to process everything he saw at high speed.

Feeling that it was still not enough, he hurriedly took out a small enlightenment stone within his inventory, clenching it within his grasp as his mind and comprehension directly increased by dozens of times...

Making countless ideas emerge within his mind, showing the mistakes of the white rabbit to be reflected in his very eyes... as the little changes of lightning, its advantages and disadvantages become clear within him.

"The white rabbit probably didn't prepare anything toward its inevitable breakthrough...

"Causing its breakthrough to become unstable and filled with risk.

"Moreover, its mentality seems not good or in perfect condition. I could see that it often made mistakes when it was releasing its Qi to defend itself from the lightning."

Pausing slightly, pondering deep within as the lightning streak suddenly hit parts of his shadow body, causing it to dissolve and dissipate toward the surroundings, Leo again continued.

-1 health!

+0.001 Soul!

"I see... I understand..."

"The silver lightning damaged one's physique but it also tempered it in the process... It's both a punishment and a reward for a cultivator.

"Successfully advancing would allow someone to gain an inhuman physique that was at least comparable to an Uncommon to Elite materials."

(Based on his calculation and the little streaks of lighting that tempered his soul.

Although the lighting was much larger than the lightning he met in the entrances of the passage/catacombs... Compared to the lighting that drowned the little figure of the white rabbit in the distance, it could be said that it was a hundred times larger than the thing that just hit him!)

"However, I don't even have physical body to begin with... Would I be able to resist that lightning?

"Probably not, I still need a physical body in the end."
