-One week later-
Finally, it's the time to use my first spirit skill, my body is in top form and my 15 rank is stabilized. After having breakfast with my family, I and papa go to the training room. Entering I see that there's already someone. There's 5 boys and 2 girl having ages from 8 to 20 years.
"I will present them" says father with a gentle and scholarly aura (When there's someone he is always using this kind of aura, how can you be so false) "Starting to left they are:
Su Lian, 8 years old attack system rank 12 blue monkey spirit
Qi Lengshi, 11 yeard old defense system rank 18 armored rhinoceros spirit.
Tang Li, 11 years old attack system rank 19 fire spider spirit.
Meng Ryu, 9 years old attack system rank 12 water green frog spirit.
Ma Haku, 13 years old support system rank 19 aromatic rose spirit.
Ra Shimei, 15 years old attack system rank 28 white wolf spirit.
Joseph, 20 years old attack system rank 36 gigantic mantis spirit.
"They are some of the students at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda school with different rank and system like you request me" Finish papa.
"I am Ning Bai 6 years old control offensive system or at least I think that I will be rank 15 Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sword spirit. Nice to meet you and thanks for your help" I present myself doing a little bow. "I want to try my spirit skill in everyone so I will start with the youngest and finish with the oldest. You will take a special detector orb, that calculates your strength, being affected at your own empowering and use of abilities. After the use of my skill I want to know the difference".
I and Su Nian go to the training ring and stay one beside the other. He invokes his spirit showing an illusion of a monkey behind his back and growing blue-hai, the orb marking 50. I also invoke my sword, my orb marking 80. Clenching the sword with both hands and pointing up like the red-me when meditating.
<First skill: Fire power> then my sword turns red. One one hand Nian has a little struggle and his orb marks 38. On the other hand, I sense becoming more powerful and my orb mark 93.
After that, I do the same with all the other obtaining new results. Summarizing my skill reduce 25% the power of the rival of the same martial rank, my own power being increased by a maximum of 25%. This debuff for the opponent is reduced with different of realms. Against spirit grandmaster being 10% and to 3% in case of a spirit elder, always maintaining my 25% of increase if I have enough energy to absorb. Also, there's no difference between the system, ignoring defense ,but in the case of a fire element spirit, the debuff is increased a 50% being close to 38% and in the case of a water element, the contrary, reducing the effect to a 13%.
"So it seems that we obtaining enough data so we can finish this test" say papa turning to leave the room.
"Wait I want to try to 2 people at the same time" I stop papa activating my skill on both Nian and Lengshi. Their power is reduced 25% and my power also increases 25% (where will go the surplus power? Never mind, it doesn't affect the results).
"Ok now we are finished thank for the good work" I say while my father is watching me with his mouth opened and says surprised "Two Aperture Supporting Heart" in a second he calms and returns to his usual character "When have you attained the level two of the Heart Separation Control?".
"Ah! This was the absorbing ring day when I was running, I sensed a second perspective like I was watching my body like in the third person. I think that will be me breaking trough to level 2" I answer.
My papa touches his face with his hand looking tired, ordering for the boys and girls to leave the room, then says to me" It's the specialized techniques of our clan, it permits to support at the same time more than one person, in your case to debuff, having arrived at that level at your age, it's strange. If the second calm perspective it's true, you have acquired the secret Mind Separation Control technique. When cultivating you will develop different personalities, obtaining a true parallel thinking, not mere multitasking. Moreover, you don't have to worry for intern fighting between the personalities, yours will always be the principal, being able to easily control the others. The others only appearing when needed, even doing it unconsciously like in this case where your second personality debuffs a second person without any more requirement for you" Explains father.
"So it will be like having people doing the work that I want, under my control but without me sensing their presence" (All good, Yahoi!) I say.
"Not only that." Papa answers "In some cases if you want, you can change your personality, permitting another one to control your body. Only use it when your mind is close to shot down by mental shock. It's the evolved technique of our clan but has 3 big drawbacks, the first is that not anyone can practice you need to have a predisposition to it, there has passed more than 200 years since last."
"The second drawback is that you require great mental strength to maintain it and it can't be shut down, so if at some moment the expense is higher than your capacity, you might enter in a coma. Also, this technique is evolved automatically, every spirit realm that you breakthrough will create another personality without your consent, augmenting your mental expense."
"And the last is that when you arrive at the rank of spirit saint, all your personalities will fuse creating new main personality with the support personalities without any consciousness. So you gonna change your mind when arrive at spirit saint but usually is not a very big change because there's a balance of the personalities." Finish papa
"You must feel tires with using so much your skill, let's go to sleep" say papa pushing me to my room while I yawn of exhaustion "Starting from tomorrow I will prepare a new training regime that you must follow without fail".
Papa leaves me at my bed and I can evade falling sleep.
Yeah paranoia, super paranoia! At the start of the novel doesn't have a lot of meaning only that every spirit realm that he gain he can debuff a another person, starting at his actual level with 2. Later in the story it will gain more importance but it will be when he is rank 50 or 60 and it has relation with a god inheritance so a leave it there. For the second spirit in the next chapter or the next after will gain a little importance but don't hope a lot because it will be always a support.
