Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

"Indeed, This is a good item." Leo nodded as he was satisfied with the function of the ring.

Putting the other items in his inventory, Leo approaches the little dark skeletons in the distance before moving toward the group.

"Leo It's your time to shine!" Kristine giggled slightly as she pointed at the dead zombies on the ground.

Looking at the dead foundation zombies killed by the group, Leo sighed before taking an empty bottle from his inventory.

"Time to work."

***

Soon, In a blink of an eye, another two days passed by.

In order for Leo to advance without any hiccups, the group decided to halt their journey, causing them to not enter the Endless Forest.

After preparing the materials and maxing his exp bar, Leo finally was on the verge of breaking through the Foundation realm.

Only the thin barrier between the Mortal realm and the Foundation realm was present. With a little mental effort, Leo will be able to crack it without any worries.

Ding!

+30 exp!

+300 horror points!

"Finally..." Leo retracted the knuckles on the head of the level 18 zombie on the ground as he began to sense the magical feeling brought by maxing his exp.

Although not much, he started to feel that his life force increased by a small amount before finally stopping due to the thin barrier present between the mortal and foundation realms.

"Are you finally advancing?" Seeing the strange and satisfied expression of Leo, Roland asks in his usual deep voice.

"Yes." Leo nodded slightly, before gazing toward the nearest building in the distance, planning to advance inside in order to avoid disturbance.

With the help of the group and his inquiry regarding advancing toward the foundation realm, Leo already learned the things he needed to do and the things that he should avoid when advancing.

It could be said that Leo was confident that he would advance toward the Foundation realm without much problem.

The only worth looking forward to is the cultivation technique that he would get after sacrificing items and scrolls toward the altar that would materialize in the middle of advancement!

Based on the things he learned so far, the cultivation technique is divided into different grades and levels.

Respectively from the lowest grade which is, the Mortal grade, Transcended grade, Earth grade, and Heaven grade.

With each grade being divided into 4 different small tiers, respectively the Low, Middle, High, and Peak.

The higher the level is, the higher its cultivation effect and strength is!

Not only that, but cultivation techniques also hold the secret of breaking through higher cultivation realms! It could be said that the higher the cultivation technique is the higher the cultivator can achieve in the future!

"Then go, we will guard you from outside." Roland nodded before commanding the group to watch for beasts and zombies that would approach during Leo's advancement.

"I see... Thank you!"

Entering the building alone, Leo unhurriedly sat down cross-legged in the middle of the room, taking a deep breath and calming his nerves down.

"I, Finally will advance toward the Foundation realm," Leo mumbled under his breath before opening his character panel excitedly.

Ding!

[ Level: 20( 1200/1200 Exp ) ]

Ding!

[ Detected that the host already reached the maximum exp possible. Initiating advancement (Yes/No)? ]

Seeing the notification appear, Leo took a deep breath before unhesitatingly pressing the Yes button.

Swish! Swish!

In an instant after initiating the advancement, the temperature around Leo began to drop drastically, instantly reaching a freezing point. Creating a humid, dark, and cold place.

Still not done, wave after wave of thick gray fog began to uncontrollably leak on Leo's body, from his orifices to his pores, causing the environment around Leo to become foggy.

Not aware of the things happening around him, Leo closed his eyes as he entered a state of meditation.

With the help of the system and the specialty of advancement, Leo immediately felt the unique resonance in his mind, causing him to enter and peek inside his mind.

Inside his mind, a dark barrier similar to a dam could be seen holding a huge amount of crystalline liquid that was emitting a weak dazzling light as it illuminated Leo's mind.

"This... I'm inside my mind barrier... And that liquid should be the mana.

"If I break the barrier and let my mana advance to a higher form of energy then it will become Qi."

Qi is a higher form of mana. To be exact, a combination of mana and vitality before forming a sole energy called Qi.

Not only Qi is much stronger than mana, but Qi also provides a huge amount of vitality to the cultivator.

After advancing toward the Foundation realm, the mana inside the cultivator will transform into Qi, causing an overall growth in the strength of the cultivator.

Moreover, the strength of the skills of the cultivator after using Qi will increase by a huge amount! Based on the information he gathered, the skill that used Qi as energy is 2-3 times stronger than using mana!

Besides that, after transforming his mana into Qi, the normal human/cultivator's lifespan will increase by 50 - 100!

Almost double the normal lifespan of humans!

Feeling the anticipation bubbling inside him, Leo controlled the mana inside his mind before beginning to attack the thin barrier that was stopping him from advancing toward the next stage.

Bang!

Bang!

Crack!

In just a short minute after attacking the thin barrier, the sound of cracking glass resounded inside his mind as the barrier began to crack under his watch.

Like a spider web, the crack of the barrier began to enlarge under the attack of mana. Instantly causing the barrier to enter an instability.

Seeing that the barrier was on the verge of collapse, Leo calmly controlled the mana before again controlling it to attack the barrier.

Soon, after 30 seconds of attacking...

Crack...

Crack!

BOOM!
