731 A Sense of Shame? Whats That? (1/2)

Wang Baole was oblivious to the battle taking place between his senior brother Chen Qing and the armored man. It didn't influence the decision he finally settled on. He only took a while before his eyes flashed with determination, and he finally made up his mind.

Over-thinking will just make it difficult for me to decide. Of course, I have to weigh the risks involved in the final decision made, but such excessive wariness… isn't the act of a real man. Senior Brother has helped me so many times. I shouldn't doubt him on this! Wang Baole took a deep breath then pressed his palms together in a series of hand seals. He immediately began learning the mystic technique that Chen Qing had given him.

The mystic technique wasn't meant to improve his level of cultivation. Instead, it was to allow him the ability to change and create an illusion of himself. Wang Baole used the Dark Art to quicken his learning process. A few hours later, he opened his eyes, which had two ghostly spheres of light shimmering within.

His body blurred as he split into multiple forms, and soon, multiple replicas of himself overlaid one another. Upon closer examination, one would count nine replicas in total.

”Avatar, appear!” Wang Baole barked. Then, an avatar separated from him slowly, drifting aside. It was followed by the second, then the third, all the way up to the ninth avatar. They fused together rapidly and finally reappeared as a singular avatar before Wang Baole. It looked no different from Wang Baole's true form.

He was identical in both flesh and blood, as well as in spirit. Wang Baole's Stellar Nascent Soul had split in half as well, with one half entering the avatar. In fact, one could no longer simply call him an avatar. He was Wang Baole's… second Essence Soul!

A person's second Essence Soul shared everything with his true form. That was why he shouldn't resort to self-destructing his second Essence Soul recklessly. The second Essence Soul's level of cultivation and battle capabilities were only slightly weaker than the true form's abilities. For Wang Baole, it meant that his second Essence Soul was at the early-stage Nascent Soul realm.

That didn't detract from how amazing the mystic technique was. It wasn't the same as Wang Baole's previous forms of avatars. This second Nascent Soul realm Essence Soul could train independently. When he returned and fused with Wang Baole's true form, Wang Baole would receive a boost in cultivation as well. The second Essence Soul straddled the realms of reality and illusion, and Wang Baole could switch his true form with his Essence Soul anytime!

These two very important points were why Chen Qing had given this mystic technique to Wang Baole!

After examining the unique traits of his avatar, Wang Baole took a deep breath then shut his eyes. The moment his eyes fell shut… his second Essence Soul opened his eyes!

It's similar to controlling my previous avatars in many ways, and different in some as well… Wang Baole Number Two raised his hand and touched his own face. He stared at Wang Baole Number One next to him. The latter's eyes opened instantly, and they began a staring contest.

”In the past, controlling my avatar was like controlling a part of myself, like moving my arm. With a single thought, I could get it to execute all my orders. This avatar though… it's no longer like an arm. It's like having another me!” Wang Baole Number Two muttered as he stared at Wang Baole Number One. He coughed.

”What do you think?”

”Seems like it. Interesting,” Wang Baole Number One said as he rubbed his chin and nodded.

”In that case, you stay here and have a good nap. I'll go outside and check out what's going on. I'll try and look for traces of Senior Brother at the same time as well,” Wang Baole Number Two said seriously.

”Alright. Be careful while you're outside. If possible, try to find out how far away we are from the Solar System as well,” Wang Baole Number One said with a contemplative look. Then, he stared at Wang Baole Number Two again.

”Does this look lame? Us talking to each other like this? We're clearly one person, but we have to pretend to have a conversation like two separate people… what do you think Senior Brother was thinking when he came up with this mystic technique? He should have a second Essence Soul as well. I think… based on Senior Brother's character, he might have made his second Essence Soul a woman…” After a long while, Wang Baole Number Two blinked and said.

”I think so too! But we, Wang Baoles, are righteous folks. We won't even think about doing something as perverted as that. We do have to get used to talking like this from now on though!” Wang Baole Number One took a deep breath and said in all solemness.

”Alright… I'm off then. I'll leave you with these parting words. Wang Baole, you're really handsome!”

”Wang Baole, you're incredibly handsome too!”
