thought projection

Sora's match soon came, so Sora went to the arena to fight his opponent. his blood was boiling for his match, it was a half-step silver rank expert, who easily cleared everyone he faced, many eyes set on the arena Sora was on, as the person he was facing Han Yan.

"You broke through," Sora said with a smile, Han Yan the guild leader of the sword emperor guild was at level 10 iron rank a while back. Sora couldn't even force him to show his true power, and now he was stronger. Sora was sure he could defeat him now,

"You have also improved..." Han Yan said with a smile as he pulled out his sword, Sora got into a fight stance as he waited for the elder to announce them to begin. everyone quickly forced onto the arena upon sensing the powerful sword intent which filled the arena, Sora also noticed that the swords in people's hands seemed to fly out of their hands as they bowed to Han Yah.

This is something that only a person who has the sword heart could gain, Sora took a deep breath as he felt like he could be cut just from standing near Han Yan. Sora didn't expect this guy to the gained the sword heart. this sword that Han Yan was not normal,

as soon as the elder gave the sign to begin, Han Yan flashed as he moved to end the match with one attack. lightning covered his sword; he went on to use the sword Dao and the lightning sword art to use a technique that shocked Sora.

This speed from this sword attack was many times faster than those at the half-step silver rank, with the speed of this attack even a level 4 silver rank expert would have strong blocking it. Sora although caught off guard saw all of Han Yah's movements clearly, he was already gathering energy the moment he saw Han Yan's muscle moves. he didn't need the sage of six paths eyes for this, just his normal eyes had this ability. but in the end, he still received a cut across his chest, just a second later and blood will fill this arena

Han Yan seeing he couldn't end this in a single attack suddenly disappear as if he was an illusion, he began running around the stage leaving behind after illusions, created by the Dao of illusion. these illusions all look like Han Yan, even Sora couldn't see through them, they gave off energy

'this technique as well...' Sora frowned as this was one of the techniques left behind by Ling Han.

butterfly steps, with a simple step one, could create hundreds of illusions. these illusions all have the same aura as their creator, so only one with powerful senses could see through them. there was even a clone technique hidden within this technique, as you could make these illusions like after images have physique form, but the energy needed was a lot, as half of your energy will be used to create 1 illusion, half of your energy will be used for every clone,

the clones don't even have combat strength equal to the original body, ignoring the effect they have 50% of the original body when created, they can't think for themselves, and would be destroyed with even the weakest of attacks.

Sora's eyes were sharp, but even he had lost track of Han Yah. Sora looked around the stage, after seeing he couldn't find Han Yah, Sora took a deep breath before releasing a powerful air breath which turned into a blade, as he turned around, the air breath destroyed all the illusion, but Han Yah was nowhere to be found.

Sora's ears suddenly twitched, Sora looked at the sky and saw Han Yah was using the Dao of the raindrop alongside the Dao of the sword. Sora's eyes widened as this was the raindrop sword art,

countless blade raindrops rained down on Sora, Sora took another deep breath before releasing it, the air and rain clashed, but the number of raindrops was too many which overwhelmed the wind, but the remaining raindrops were too weak to injure Sora and fell down like normal raindrops

"you're really strong, seem to be unable to end this quickly... but I don't plan on losing." Han Yan said as he landed lightly on the ground, Sora cracked his fingers, before waving at Han Yah to come at him.

Han Yan flashed as he shot towards Sora and they both began their clash, Han Yan shockingly had combat power that could match a level 5 expert. seeing as he was at half step silver rank, once he reaches level 1 silver rank, he will be able to match a level 6 silver rank expert. or even high if the cultivation art he had given some unique ability to him.

Sora was at a disadvantage. although Sora had combat power at level 5 as while, that was with everything he had. that wasn't a combat power that he could keep up like Han Yan could. Sora was pushed back, as his blood filled the arena.

Han Yan was of course holding back, which made Sora's combat spirit raise as he could sense this. what was Han Yah's full strength?

with that though, Sora active the sage of six paths eyes, and went on to gain a sense of power which allowed him to match Han Yan. Han Yan was shocked as he went from dominating to being evenly matched, he looked at Sora and saw that smile of a person having a good time.

he sighed as he went all out, allowing his combat power to reach the peak of level 5 copper rank, allowing him to dominate the battle once more. but Sora suddenly took out the golden staff, Sora could use this staff to its fullest,

the two were equal once more, shocking Han Yah. Han Yah gritted his teeth seeing one minute was remaining, he let out a battle crazy as he began throwing everything at Sora. Sora also panicked slightly seeing there was a minute remaining, he gave it everything he had and fought Han Yah.

when 10 seconds were remaining, Han Yah's sword intent suddenly exploded as he swung forward. 1 swing turned into 10. Sora was sent flying back as his blood flew across the air from the cuts, Sora was shocked at this but 5 seconds now remained.

Sora rushed forward as he dodged the attacks which turned into 10 attacks rushing towards him, when he arrived before Han yah, he stabbed forward with his staff. each staff coming at him like a wave, Han Yah's eyes widened as he saw how the staff attacks would increase by 10 times.

Sora just gained something he comprehend and was using it against him? What the hell was this? He even added to his own technique, Han Yah was shocked, and the numbers of attacks were too much, and he was sent flying out off the stage

everyone went quiet, most people couldn't see the battle due to the speed Sora and Han Yah were moving, but they knew who Han Yah was. Han Yah was not just the guild leader of the sword emperor guild, he was a person who was taught by Ling Han before he disappeared.

yet he lost to someone so many levels below him. this was shocking, everyone had their money on Han Yah coming in the first place, they were sure of it. but what was this? even the elder watching over their match was shocked by this

within the clouds, the old man was holding a mirror which was faced towards the battle stage. he too stood there frozen, it was when a voice came from the mirror which snapped him out of his shock

"He is quite talented." a handsome black-haired man said with a smile as the old man turned the mirror around to see him. If Sora saw this face, he would instantly realize it was Ling Han. the legend of this sect... no of this whole country.

"He might be equal to me... but I will have to test that to make sure since he gained my true inheritance, his heart holds no evil." Ling Han said calmly, but the mirror suddenly shock, as the building he was in began falling down

"I see you're still the trouble magnet." the old man said helplessly as he saw the countless of people Ling Han most like have killed.

"Sigh, a young master gets jealous, then the elder brother, then the force behind them, and before long I have to uproot the trouble from the roots." Ling Han said helplessly, but he suddenly frowned as he looked at the sky.

a huge face formed from the clouds coldly looked at Ling Han, before it attacked. Ling Han didn't even hesitate as he shot off, the head in the sky opened its mouth as it released a beam of flames at Ling Han. the beam hit the ground causing a huge earthquake, cracks ran along the ground, as one could even see the Cora of the planet

the flame slowly disappeared after that one attack, as if it used up all the energy it could use. Ling Han on the other hand had dodged the attack but was seriously injured by just the shock waves. but his body had a shocking recovery speed as his injuries began healing after a few breaths.

"Ling Han, you alright?" the old man asked in a panic, Ling Han nodded calmly as he looked at the damage caused by just one attack. the planet will soon explode, So, he went on to leave the planet

"That was an attack from an immortal. a whole celestial body destroyed with a single attack." Ling Han said as sighed in amazement at the power of that single move. a spoke a few more to the old man before saying his goodbye after which, he pinched his finger as he began looking into Sora

but he found nothing weird, Sora was just a slave he wakened his talent at the age of 15 and began his cultivation. he looked into Sora's parents, as he looked into Sora, he began to grow respect for this kid. just 22 and had only cultivated for 7 years. he had good talent which might rival his own.

he looked into those near him before he froze when he found out that Sora had a relationship with a girl named Ling Lu. He frowned deeply, Ling Yu was his little sister. he didn't even know he had a sister, and looking closer there was something off about her soul. as he looked closer, he souled got a backlash and coughed up some blood

"... she is a reincarnation member of the demon race?" Ling Han's face darkened, he quickly took out a ship, which he hoped on, and had rush back to where the pure water sect was located. but he was far, too far from there.

meanwhile, Sora has announced the winner and was currently sitting under a tree with Ling Yu resting on his leg. Sora who had his eyes closed slowly opened his eyes, he frowned as he was close to combining the two energy. solar energy and senjutsu,

Solar energy was just too powerful, he was having trouble balancing the two energy. he also had little control over Solar energy, so he needed to take the time to find ways to control solar energy. the super-breath and freezing breath didn't really need his solar energy, he just took a breath and released it

he needed to learn to fly, learn to control his heat beams, and many more. Sora forced on his eyes and began looking around, he saw through everything around him, but he sight suddenly room in on something and kept zooming out. he was having trouble controlling these abilities, making him stop.

these were like complete new abilities and the solar energy didn't tell him how he was to master these abilities, so he had to find some time to master them. for the sage of six paths, there was nothing really he need to learn how to control. the only thing he needed to do was master the illusion and a few other stuff.

He also needed to learn and master the world lord fist, and the wrathful. all of this needed time, which he had. but he needed a special place where he could train alone.

Ling Han used the sage of six paths eyes and began to use the solar energy vision ability together. Sora found that both abilities seemed to boost each other. from seeing more detailed stuff, to zooming in faster, or even see-through stuff that he couldn't have in the fast. but it used up more energy and was harder to control. but in a calm state of mind, he was getting the hang of it

"what's up with your eyes." Ling Yu asked as she looked deep into Sora's red pupils. Sora looked at her, before freezing when he saw a dark shadow. it was like he was looking into the origin of all darkness... and it was looking back at him.

Sora's heart skipped a beat as he made eye contact with the dark being. but he forcefully calmed him down, as he felt the dark being was looking at him with shocked eyes as if it couldn't believe Sora could see it.

'another one can see me, but you're even weaker.' a demonic voice sounded within Sora's mind as a force suddenly hit him, Sora was not injured, but it forced him back into a normal state. Sora frowned as he felt like that demonic being didn't want to hurt him,

"... you saw it," Ling Yu suddenly sat up as she looked at Sora with worried, Sora nodded slightly which made Ling Yu stand up in worry. she looked at Sora nervously.

"Do I look like I care if you're a demon?" Sora asked lazily as he lay against a tree with a lazy look, Ling Yu was stun hearing Sora thought she was of the demon race. she wanted to say something, but something within her head warned her.

"You don't care? humans and demons are born enemies; they can no exist together." She said softly, but she froze as she saw Sora's tail suddenly moving around behind him.

"That saying of humans and demons are born enemies is just bs. it's just a war between two races. I have no interest in it. plus, you're mine. that final." Sora said lazily. Ling Yu's dark eyes brightened slightly, she sat next to Sora while she hesitated

'You tell him, and I will kill him.' a demonic voice sounded within Ling Yu's mind, making Ling Yu's heart skip a beat. she lowered her head as she sighed and said nothing.

"Tomorrow is the last day for the torment, after which I will disappear for some days. so you want to go cause trouble before I leave?" Sora asked with a smile, Ling Yu's eyes brightened at his words. causing trouble is her favorite thing to do.

The two left returning to the city, just walking down the street while holding holds causing many people to give Sora rage points. Sora had to get at least 60 thousand rage points today.

"Snort, such a beauty with a pig." a handsome man said in disdain as he jumped out of his carriage upon seeing Ling Yu, jealously filled in his heart upon seeing Sora. what a handsome man, why was Sora so handsome.

"I'm the young..." the young man wanted to continue speaking, but Sora and Ling Yu ignored him completely and walked past him. his eyes narrowed in rage, who dares disrespect him like this, he moved to attack Sora, but Sora breathed out slightly, sending him slamming into his carriage while coughing up blood

"That breath technique of yours, it's just you take a deep breath. there is no energy in it. just how powerful are your lungs." Ling Yu said softly, Sora smiled as he nodded slightly. they talked as they headed to a restaurant, while the middle-aged man went to go get backup.

and so, that day in the city a bunch of people was beaten by Sora. and Sora got thousands of rage points, one should know the number of rage points Sora got was shocking. a person could give up to 105, and when their rage was so much, they can give a rapped fire of rage points.

Sora in the end gained enough to use the wheel once more, but this time the people enraged had backed in the sect. troublesome, but thanks to Ling Yu being by his side, that elder didn't dare to act in the opening

within Sora's room, Sora spun the wheel and calmly watched. soon it stopped before landing a question, then the question mark disappeared,

Thought projections. A type of technique that allows one to give their thoughts form and physical form. If this technique is mastered, one will be able to make countless thousands with strength ranging anywhere from 0.1% to 90%. the more/stronger the thought, the more taxing it would be to hold it. the thought and the original will have united minds.

technique grade- godly

Sora seeing this technique eyes brightened. with this, he could improve his comprehension of the Dao, his technique, and so many more.

his mind suddenly began racing, as he quickly began comprehending this technique. this technique in the lower levels will only have one thought appear in the outside world. the letter levels will allow one to strengthen these thoughts, giving them form.

when the form is given, one will be able to reach the 4th level in this level. but at this level, the thought will have 0.1% of the true body power. from level 4 to level 6, it was not to strengthen the thought but to create more thought,

when you can split your thoughts into 10, you will reach level 5. and when you have 100 thoughts, you will have reached level 6.

the 7th level is to turn 100 thoughts into one. making a thought projection that has 10% of the original body power. but it was taxing to keep this thought up and will weaken the original body by 90%.

the 8th level is to make a thought projection with 50% of the original body strength. but this will leave the original body with only half of the original body's strength

by the 9th level, one is to make a thought projection with 90% of the original body strength. this will leave the original body with just 90% of its strength. a huge improvement from level 4.

at the 10th level. one has to make more throughs with power above the 50%. the more thoughts one creates the more taxing it will be. as you get better at this, the less taxing it will be on you, to the point you will only be weakened by 1% to create a thought, but its more taxing as more thoughts

when you create 10 thoughts with 90% strength, you will reach the 11th level. and when you can create more than 100 thousand with 90% strength, you will have fully mastered these techniques. there was no set limit on the number of thousands, upon death, a person will still live on as a thought.

this was a kind of cloning technique; they were somewhat rare in this world. but some people could create clones of themselves to help in cultivation or enter a dangerous ground to gather information.

Sora's mind was already powerful, so he was able to reach the first level. he quickly tempered his strengths to be able to give them physical form, after which, he reached the 4th level and went on to try and split more parts of his mind.

Sora had to strengthen his mind as a weak mind was not going to be able to master this technique, but he had senjutsu, and his mental strength was equal to his combat strength. so, he quickly reached the 5th level, then the 6th, before hitting a bottleneck.

he had slight trouble fusing all those thoughts together, but in the end, he could train 100 times faster since he could create 100 thoughts. of course, these thought projections couldn't cultivate, but they could comprehend techniques, try and fuse his energy for him, and so on.

their mind was united, so since it was taxing to make so many thoughts projection, his thought speed would drop greatly with so many thoughts. but with just a few thoughts projection, it was not a huge trouble.

although he hit a bottleneck, Sora went on to try and combine 2 thought projections, although hard Sora was able to do so. the trouble was that it was even more taxing to keep the combined thoughts. as Sora did this over and over, his mental state improved, by combining thoughts and reuniting with them, his mind improved slightly,

this was one of the techniques within the thought projection to improve one mental state. sora could even absorb another mind to improve his own. this will in turn, not just strengthen Sora's mind, it had the effect of also improving his illusions

by morning, Sora's limit was combing a total of 10 thoughts. Sora left behind 2 thought projections to comprehend Dao and train his technique while he went to the sect ranking. it was not taxing at all to make these 2 thought projections, and their mind was connected, so they thought as fast as Sora did.

Sora now had 3 points of view to look at the world. the main body and the remaining two were from the 2-thought projection. this was going to greatly help in his comprehension of many kinds of techniques.

the thought projection of course entered a calm state of mind. through them, Sora will slowly learn to enter that state while in combat, this was like a shortcut, Sora was proud of himself for how he was so creative with this stuff. others might have overlooked that they could use the thought projection for this,

"Sora, I still can't believe I lost to you." Han Yan said as he walked up to Sora with a helpless sigh. Sora smiled as he and Han Yan. along the way, he ran into Ling Yu, and the 3 arrived at the arena.

Ling Han will be given another chance when the ranking is complete. he will be able to challenge someone else in order to enter within the top 10. this was so that those who thought they had a chance to come in the top 10 to give themselves another try.
