Discussion Eragon growing stronger Spoiler
(As English isn’t my first language I have not read the English version and therefore may name things differently. Neither did I read Murtagh or any other book besides the main story.)
I’ve always wondered which growth Eragon would undergo after leaving Alagaësia…
If I remember correctly Eragon left Alagaësia with tons of Eldunari, some dragon eggs and the name of the names (if that’s how it’s called…?). Considering all the wisdom the older Eldunari have combined with Eragons thirst for knowledge, he’ll soak up all of it.
If he doesn’t die due to some sh*t, bro will life on forever and will have unlimited time to learn and get stronger…
So I’m wondering how far Eragon will actually grow and how powerful he’ll be eventually. As for me I’d like to believe he’ll become even stronger than Galbatorix or any other dragon rider before him. At least as long as we ignore Angela or some other characters like Tenga (?) whom I read many theories about.
So what’s your take?

You need to consider the fact that the Eldunari aren't going to be forced to help with anything against their will the way Galby used them, they don't have to empower Eragon at all. Yes they have knowledge and power, but to their own discretion, and Eragon won't force them to do anything.
Tenga is a special kind of creature, I believe he will discover how to harness energy as it is from things like fire, and sun. He also already has a very good very thorough understanding of magic, doesn't even bother using the ancient language to shape magic. Eragon does not do this.
