Upon seeing all his skills and talents' details, Jeremy felt very satisfied...

All his skills ranked up, all his talents looked splendid, shining even brighter than the stars in a night sky.

After looking and remembering the details of skills and talents for a while more, Jeremy eventually dismissed the interface.

'What should I do in these four hours?'

Jeremy thought after looking around the dark space for a bit before raising his left hand to caress his chin,

'Hmm... I haven't gotten used to my new body yet, and my new skills and talents need to be practiced for a bit before I can use them fluently.'historical

'Alright then. For the next four hours, I will get used to my new body, skills, and talents. Then I will plan my next moves before teleporting to the second stage...'

Having thought about the schedule of his next four hours, Jeremy beamed out Anguish from his glove right away.

Soon, a long grey spear appeared within Jeremy's hand.

'It's not heavy anymore... No, its weight is still the same, but my strength has increased too much that I feel like this 60-kilograms spear weighs nothing...'

Surprisingly, the spear that Jeremy had to struggle to wield earlier now feels like a lightweight stick within his hand.

Undoubtedly, it was all due to Jeremy's evolution that had made him become so much stronger physically.

Maybe, Jeremy was faster and tougher, too, but he had yet to try it out.

'I think I can still wield Anguish even if its weight increases to 300 kilograms...

'So, this is how those intermediate races feel... They feel superior to lower-ranked organisms as if the latter is nothing before them at all. The difference is just too great...'

'Ah... The euphoric feeling of superiority.'

Jeremy thought with a broad satisfied smile. He had never felt this good and vigorous before.

'Let's try...'

Having thought so, Jeremy started swinging Anguish right away...

*Whoosh*

Anguish traveled through the air swiftly, creating gusty wind and sound waves along the way...

*Whoosh*

*Whoosh* *Fwhoosh*

The grey spear moved faster and faster with each passing swing until it started getting blurry and eventually disappeared from the naked eyes...

Simultaneously, a sonic boom also occurred as Anguish traveled through the air faster than the speed of sound.

After all, this place still had the speed of sound roughly the same as Earth, so Jeremy broke the sound barrier easily with his current strength.

Air turbulences ran wild within the dark space like a small hurricane...

Just like that, Jeremy swung and brandished Anguish within the dark space as the whooshing noises induced from the wind waves continued for quite a while.

After some minutes later...

'This should be enough warm-up...'

Jeremy thought inwardly before he commanded his mana within the three dantians towards his hand holding the spear.

The mana from within Jeremy's dantians moved almost instantaneously into Anguish, causing it to vibrate slightly as if feeling delighted of having tasted mana for the first time.

'Oh... It responds to my mana, and it's also getting heavier.' Jeremy wondered after feeling the changes occurring to Anguish.

The spear's color appeared to be murkier as the grey color changed into dark grey while its weight also became heavier along with the amount of pure mana injected into it.

Meanwhile, there was a light blue layer coating the entire spearhead, which should be the so-called Mana Blade from Anguish's first ability.

A few seconds later, Anguish seemed to weigh approximately 250 kilograms as its weight gradually stopped increasing because Jeremy had stopped inputting the mana.

'So, the mana consumption is nothing much, which is considered very efficient. Then after I stop inputting mana into it, the weight still remains the same for some time, but it will gradually decrease back to its original weight...'

'From the looks, it should remain at 250 kilograms for around a minute, and its weight will begin reducing bit by bit.'

'As for the mana blade, it should operate with the same concept of the weighting function and disappear at roughly the same time as when the weight becomes original...'

After finishing his thought, Jeremy turned to look at the sole object within this dark space, the public toilet, before walking towards it.

Despite Jeremy being inside a mysterious dark space with no light whatsoever, he still saw his body and other objects very clearly.

A place created by the System was genuinely bizarre...

Shortly after, Jeremy finally arrived before the toilet...

'Let's not put any force behind this strike...'

Having thought so, Jeremy pushed the mana-coated spearhead towards the toilet...

*Squish...*

Unsurprisingly, the sharp mana blade went through the toilet's wall as if the latter were just water.

'This won't work...'

Jeremy thought while shaking his head slightly before bringing out the steel spear no.3 from his right glove.

After almost ten seconds, Jeremy now had two spears within his hands. Then he threw the steel spear no.3 into the air.

When the spear started to fall down, Jeremy swung Anguish's coated mana blade at the falling spear's steel shaft.

*Whoosh*

Anguish traveled so fast that the wind could only trail behind it tardily...

A split second later, Anguish's blade finally met with the steel spear's shaft.

However...

*Click*

The expected clanging sound didn't resound out as the only noise heard was the clicking one...

Unbelievably, Anguish's spear blade cut through the steel shaft in half as the steel spear fell down to the dark floor, creating clattering noises...

'That's fine steel...'

Jeremy thought with wide eyes after seeing the steel spear being sliced through so easily. He couldn't even believe his own eyes for a second.

'Well, the disparity between a Mythical and Common weapon is clear enough...'

After looking at the steel spear on the ground, Jeremy thought amusingly,

'Farewell, number three, it's been a great ride with you.'

Upon saying his goodbye to number three, Jeremy proceeded on to test his skills and talents...

'My other skills have not changed much as the only change that happens is their overall performance. Meanwhile, the only three skills that have changed as if they transform into new skills are Perfect Disguise, Sixth Sense, and Third Eye.'

'So, let's go with those three skills first...'

Having thought about testing his three skills, Jeremy closed his eyes and recalled a certain someone's face before commanding inwardly,

'[Perfect Disguise]'

...

Perfect Disguise (High Advance - Active Skill): Upon activating, you can perfectly copy another organism of your own kind without any drawback and partially transform yourself into another race if the body structure is not too far apart.

...

Then, Jeremy's face and body muscles started to change...

Specifically, Jeremy's entire body's muscles and bones started moving with weird noises continually coming out from his body.

'I don't feel hurt at all... not even itchy...'

Jeremy thought in wonder as his entire body was undergoing the process of 'perfect copy'.

After half a minute later, Jeremy's entire appearance had utterly changed into that of another person.

Currently, Jeremy's height had shortened more than three centimeters, whereas his build was even smaller than before as his body muscles were compressed from the transformation.

Meanwhile, a mirror suddenly appeared within Jeremy's hand as he had brought it out from the left glove.

Then he took a look at his face...

"Hi, mister Xildas..."

Jeremy said with a light smile while looking at his new face reflecting in the mirror.
