7.New Body

After confirming the number of credits he had he chose the next option which was to create a virtual body. The Virtual Body Creation Method Popped up and it was just scanning his body to be pictured in the virtual world. Normal people don't get the option of modifying their looks by a lot and can only do a 5% change to their appearance. Since Leo had Silver Status he could change about 10% of his looks and body ratio.

Leo had black hair with sharp eyebrows and his eye color was the distinct Sky blue which was very rare among people and only people he knew had it was his brother and sister who shared the same color but with different shades of color with Ethan being darker and erza being lighter than him. He had a pretty good handsome face with no subtle beard or mustache. His body was well proportioned and looked like a well-toned and he was about 1.76cm tall which he gained due to the genetics and nutrient fluids he got in high school.

Leo didn't change his appearance that much but only changed his eye color to black which was normal and found everywhere. He only did that because he didn't want to attract much attention to him due to his eyes.

After finishing the creation procedures he was asked to look through a few terms and conditions and also rules and linking of his ID and Credit Account. This process took a whole 30 mins to finish up which was a very boring task.

Finally, Leo got to step into the Virtual Society or as people call it Skynet. He arrived in a big dome-shaped structure when he stepped outside a portal looking stand. soon he was pushed forward by the crowd and went forward till he was in an open area inside the dome. Every new person will be transported to their own city's dome and the one Leo arrived was the Ashen Citys dome. He looked around and saw many different shops of all kinds and entertainment facilities available to use for credits. And even some luxurious ones which only allowed people with high status and privileges inside.

After looking around and organizing his thoughts Leo looked around every facility that was available to use for free with his status as he got a grasp of what he could use to his gain. Leo after 2 hrs got a rough idea quickly logged out of Skynet and went back to his bed.

In Skynet, it seemed like he was a new person who was just a hillbilly who came to the city for the first time and was thrilled and tried everything before he logged out. But in reality although it seemed like he was running around randomly and looking through things he was actually searching for information about stuff like herbs and other ingredients which might help his cultivation and also the renowned nutrient and genetic fluids and their effects. Although he couldn't gain much due to his silver status, he quickly found out that a few herbs which might help his early few stages of cultivation were available for purchase and they were cheap too. He then ordered 6 Sets of the Herbs need for his [Meridian CLeasing MIst] which had about 10 different herbs in it and cost about 12k C in total. Although it was cheap for others it was costly for him, he gritted his teeth and made the purchase and it was said to be delivered by tomorrow morning.

Then he rented some books about his current world like history geography of the land and some mysterious books which were cheap and said to be cultivation articles and also some books about genetic and nutrient fluids which cost him about 3k C.

After everything was settled and his mind was calm and determined he started cultivating by absorbing the spiritual energy in his surroundings and entered a deep state. He only stopped cultivating when it was morning at 6 am as he jumped out of his bed feeling refreshed and energized. He was now almost halfway into the threshold of reaching the first layer of condensing his energy core in his dantian.

Leo got out of his room and saw that his siblings were still sleeping so he went to the courtyard. He thought of some simple exercises which could strengthen his body in the normal and original way. He started practicing the set of movements and stances. At first, it was hard to adapt the techniques to his body but he soon got the hang of it and flowed like the river. The technique looked simple at first but it was really a complex set of movements called [Battle God's Dance] that enhances the physical strength and agility and flexibility and coordination of his body.

While he was practicing Ethan slowly came out of his room walked to the courtyard and found his brother practicing some weird movements in a trance. Leo soon noticed Ethan and slowly stopped his dance-like movements and called out.

"Ethan got up early I see, so what do you think about the exercise that I was doing.'

"Bro I see no point in doing stuff like that can't we just buy nutrient and genetic fluids to improve ourselves.'

"We can do that, but it's only like using 50 % of what we can do to improve ourselves and exercising, in reality, we can further improve ourselves to unleash 100 % of our potential. So do you want to learn from me."

"Oh it's like that, ok then teach me, brother. What should I do ?"

Leo then called him to come near and slowly inspected his body using the Spiritual energy he gathered the whole night. It took him a Few Seconds to look through Ethan's meridians and his bone structure which shocked Leo a little. Ethan was a genius with a [War God Body], people like Ethan with a special body had insanely strong future but very hard early stages. Although Leo was a little envious of his little brother's body he soon smiled and said

" Ethan, Your special and your body is different as its a lot stronger than normal people. But because of that, you have to work harder than others to improve your strength. So tell me you still wanna go through with this."

Ethan thought for a sec and replied, "Brother if it can make me stronger and help you and let us take care of erza I'm willing to go through with it."
