The ground in the grotto was pressed extremely tightly by the Spider Mom's great power, its texture no weaker than a high-strength alloy. Gustavo found a flat spot and began to perform a series of strange Body Tempering movements.
The Neust Body Tempering Method, a training method created by a God Level Dragon-Hunting Spider predecessor, combined with unique energy guidance techniques and muscle rhythm, can accelerate growth, especially for juvenile Dragon-Hunting Spider, making it one of the best training methods.
However, the Neust Body Tempering Method is not without its drawbacks; it can cause intense pain during exercise and is a great test of willpower and concentration.
Unfortunately, young Dragon-Hunting Spider are at an age when they are playful and active. Although they are highly intelligent due to their Inherited Memory, temperament has little to do with intelligence. They are either born with a calm and composed personality or they can only rely on the tempering of time and the world.
For example, Gustavo's older sister and younger brother tried exercising for a while, but they quickly gave up and couldn't stick with it at all.
In the distance, Mora slowly rose from the lava pool, shook his head to fling his hair away, and angrily searched for Gustavo's figure.
She quickly spotted Gustavo exercising in the distance and was about to rush over to cause trouble, but then seemed to remember something and reluctantly pulled her leg back.
Bradley, who was standing nearby ready to watch the commotion, was somewhat disappointed. He was looking forward to seeing his sister get a beating.
Gustavo hates being disturbed while training. Mora used to think it was no big deal, until he was beaten up a few times and finally learned his lesson.
What kind of expression is that?
Unable to cause trouble for his second brother Gustavo, Mora turned his attention to his third brother Bradley, scraping the ground with his blade, making a screeching sound and sending sparks flying.
Bradley's face stiffened, and he stammered, "N-nothing expression at all~"
"Hmph, you must be mocking me, right? Take this!" Mora charged at Bradley without a word, and the latter hurriedly ran away. He was the youngest and the weakest, and he was no match for his sister.
Two Dragon-Hunting Spider darted back and forth in the cave, scaling walls and rooftops as if walking on flat ground, moving at incredible speeds. If an ordinary human were here, they would not be able to catch a glimpse of them at all, only seeing afterimages flying by, leaving dark streaks on their retina.
The hourglass of time never stopped, and two hours passed quickly. Gustavo, who was exercising, trembled. A huge amount of energy erupted like a torrent, and streams of heat surged out. Wherever it passed, muscles, bones, and cells were strengthened. His body expanded at a visible speed. In just half an hour, he went from being 3 meters tall and 5 meters wide to being 3.5 meters tall and 6 meters wide, growing a whole size larger.
The eight blades were even sharper and more ferocious, their cold light chilling and captivating.
The eerie green light in his pupils intensified, as if he were about to unleash a beam of energy.
Its originally broad and flat head has become more elongated, with sharp spikes on its head and stronger chelicerae.
Its overall appearance is more ferocious, already possessing some of the imposing features of Void Predator.
Gustavo's transformation caused quite a stir. Not only did Mora and Bradley cast astonished glances at him, but Spider Mom also awoke from her slumber. Her eight enormous pupils, like oversized searchlights, hovered above the cave, watching her two sons who had fallen silent below.
Dark, deep, vast...
In the unfamiliar space, black smoke spread like mist in all directions, and through the haze, a majestic palace appeared and disappeared.
Deep whispers echoed from the depths of the Mist.
"Mitrola, the Supreme God, the Lord of Weird Destruction, the mortal enemy of True Dragon..."
Gustavo's consciousness, in a daze, was dragged by a mysterious force to the front of the hall.
It was as if a cold wind blew by, making him shiver and instantly wake up.
"Is this the Hall of Heritage?" Gustavo looked around, unsurprised.
After advancing to the Tier Five, Dragon-Hunting Spider will follow the guidance of its bloodline, projecting its soul consciousness into this mysterious space in the Fantasy Dimension, completing its professional awakening in the Class Inheritance Hall, and lighting up the Tree of Knowledge.
Taking a deep breath, Gustavo forcefully pushed open the door to the Hall of Heritage in front of him.
With the doors wide open, the interior of the main hall is vast and spacious. On each side, a row of Dragon-Hunting Spider sculptures comes into view, each at least a thousand meters tall and with a different design.
Some looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with arrogance.
Some were fighting fiercely, exuding an intimidating aura.
Some were even wearing technologically advanced mechs, spewing out purple energy pillars from their mouths.
Below the sculptures are their respective titles, real names, and related stories.
I only had a cursory glance at Gustavo.
"These are all God Level predecessors!" He was more and more surprised as he walked. This Hall of Inheritance seemed to have gathered all the elites of the Dragon-Hunting Spider Clan throughout history.
Before he knew it, he had arrived at the end of the main hall, where there was another statue, ten thousand meters tall, standing out like a crane among chickens, overlooking the entire Hall of Heritage.
This is... Her Mitrola.
The bloodline origin of the Dragon-Hunting Spider Clan.
Her title is Spider Queen of Weird Destruction, Supreme God, Endless great being.
"Child... come forward!"
It was a gentle, feminine voice coming from the Spider Queen statue directly in front of them.
Gustavo obediently walked forward and prostrated himself on the ground.
Not to mention him, even Spider Mom is as insignificant as a speck of dust before Her Mitrola.
"Following the bloodline pact, I grant you the power to Star Capture..."
Career succession is not complicated: come to the hall of inheritance, reach the end, and receive the energy of inheritance.
As soon as the Spider Queen finished speaking, a surge of Berserk energy was injected into Gustavo's consciousness. The next moment, he felt dizzy and lightheaded, and immediately lost consciousness. His consciousness then turned into a beam of light and disappeared from the Hall of Inheritance.
Inside the cave, Gustavo suddenly opened his eyes, and the originally docile energy within him surged and roared like an enraged bull.
"Suppress this power; it will be your greatest asset in the future. Do not be afraid, do not hesitate. Only a fearless heart can bear the power of the Star Capture User!"
Spider Mom's voice drifted down like falling leaves, carrying a calming power that guided Gustavo to begin his actions.
He first stabilized his Flow Method, and then, with his strong willpower, did his best to control the turbulent energy within his body.
This process was like taming a wild horse; Gustavo was like the rider on the horse's back, holding tightly to the reins, trying his best not to be thrown off.
And so, the wild horse gradually became compliant, its struggles lessening until it was finally completely conquered and controlled by Gustavo.
Only then did Gustavo breathe a sigh of relief, carefully sensing the tremendous changes his body had undergone due to receiving the professional inheritance.
Originally, advancing to the Tier Five brought about a transformation. After inheriting the Star Capture User profession, this Berserk energy also enhanced his physical strength by a significant margin in an extremely brutal way.
Feeling the immense power surging within him like a mighty river, Gustavo opened the information panel.
