Crossroads of fate.

Exiting the building was as simple as just backtracking my previous steps. Thankfully I went prepared for this endeavor so I didn't bring that many things, just me and my backpack.

Going tot he back exit I didn't notice anything different inside the building, my [Sharingan] is active as I don't want to get caught unaware, I am starting to get a little bit tired as I've been using my [Sharingan] for quite some time watching the fights in the murim alliance, but thankfully my Ki is pretty full right now, so I think I can handle it for a while longer. Walking down the street in the general direction of my home I started to think.

Soon I was already on the exit same as beforehand I just jumped over the fence and then I was already outside. Looking around I let out a sigh of relief I was half expecting to be jumped at by someone in this kind of situation, I am just glad I won't have to kill tonight.

Liking it or not the fact that the [Sharingan] amplifies and changes the way I feel emotions makes a lot of things in life feel differently to me, most of the time I react way too intense for the situation. I am just glad that my rage from my previous life sort of became a skill? I still don't know much about that. But anyway I am glad my rage isn't like it was in the past, as it is a skill now it means it is "controllable", controllable being used here as a very loose word right now, but maybe when my [spirit] is stronger I will be able to attempt something of the sorts, sadly there is no known way of "cultivating" your [spirit], besides living your life and experiences different situations of course.

Sadly [spirit] is a very mysterious and overall overlooked concept here, heck the Chundomoon didn't believe in [spirit] the first time his elder talked to him, it took him fighting with Shi-Woon for him to start believing in it. And then si the Shi-Woon case, the Mc of the manga, he literally ahs some kind of hyper strong [spirit] that is literally the biggest reason for him to be alive, I can easily imagine that not everyone can healthily survive having their Ki center shattered like Shi-Woon.

It literally your Ki center, the center of your Ki, you can physically survive it, but the mental damage must've been pretty bad, PTSD levels of bad. But that guy's [spirit] was strong enough for him to fight cultivators even without a Ki center in the future. So this led me to think that [Spirit] is one of the strongest factors to a cultivator, with enough spirit this could let me go "Plus Ultra" and surpass my limits.

So finding a way to cultivate my [Spirit] could be a good way at getting stronger, but as I've said there is no known way of strengthening my [Spirit] without simply living my life and experiencing different things. But you also could say that I have a bigger advantage against the others, the [Sharingan].

What the [Sharingan] have to do with [Spirit]? Everything. In Naruto, if I remember it right, the Sage power was divided between his two kids, The older brother Inda inherited the spirit of the sage his (Yin), which manifested itself in an ocular power the [Sharingan], the younger brother Ashura inherited the Body fo the Sage it's (Yang).

This could also explain the way I reacted to different situations, or how I reacted to a heavy emotional situation either, I can shrug a broken arm during a fight, but when I got very depressed like in my father's case, or when I panicked like in my mother's disease case. I acted very intensely in these situations.

Going back on the Spirit of the sage part. It could mean that my [Sharingan] will give me the possibility of having a way higher strength of spirit than any normal human cultivator, it can also mean that I have a higher growth multiplier to my [Spirit]. This can also explain how I was able to access my mindscape during my enlightenment some days ago. Assessing the mindscape, if I am not mistaken, is a skill that only people with strong [Spirit] and experience can access. So I can guess that my [spirit] is pretty strong for it to be possible, sadly I can't access it at will, yet.

But what bugs me is the second most fundamental thing about the [Sharingan], Genjutsu or Illusions for a better understanding. I have no fucking idea how to cast an illusion using Ki, but it should be one of the major parts of my [Sharingan] so I guess it's entirely possible for me to "discover" how to do it in the future.

Then there is also the [Mangekyo Sharingan], the evolved form of the normal [Sharingan], it's extremely powerful and it generally comes with a unique set of skills depending on the user. Shisui had his op illusion brainwashing technique, Itachi had [Tsukuyomi] and [Amaterasu], and if the games were right Madara had some sort of time-related [Magekyo Sharingan] ability.

Talking about Madara, he was able to even use his [Susanoo] without his eyes, which in my theory is due to the strength of his spirit. Of course, there was some chakra bullshittery involved, but my guess is that his spirit was strong enough to manifest his [Sharingan] avatar, so maybe if one day my spirit is strong enough I can also do the same? but Madara was technically the reincarnation of a quarter space god, so I guess I have a slight disadvantage? But that is the stuff for the future, right now I have a ton of new techniques o test and experiment with.

But first, before using any technique I need to reach the [Second Step] on my Ki control training, circulating the Ki at the same time as I do an exercise. For me to reach the [Second Step] the circulation training I would have to circulate my cultivation technique while doing physical exercises in other to balance both my Ki and Body, thankfully with a muscular and big body like mine the physical part is mostly taken care of, now I just need to circulate my technique while I move in order to synchronize both. And the moment I am able to use a skill I could be considered to have advanced to the second Rank of [Practitioner], but until that I am a beginner.

Sadly I've been stuck on the peak of the [First Step] for quite some time right now, maybe I need some "battle experience to breakthrough" like those cultivators in those xianxia novels. Ha, as if something like that would happen to me.

Almost to slap me in the face, I could feel the air changing, that kind of heavy foreboding feeling, something very similar to what I've felt before entering my last time on the underground arena. I was right now on a crossroad, looking at the other streets I see three different people, but I only recognize one of them.
