As Chiron thought thus far, he waved his hand and a pen and paper appeared. He made down some jottings.
It took almost an hour for him to write out his plan but by the time he was done, he could not help but smile at it.
He waved his hand again and both pen and paper were gone.
Just because he wanted people like Elder Fatso to pay for making his life a living hell did not mean that he had given up on the idea to become stronger.
Growth was fundamentally the most important thing on his mind.
Chiron smiled as he sent his consciousness into his dantain. However, what he saw made him frown deeply.
The walls of his Dantain were a mess. Totally absolving the soul of his dead mother that was of a higher rank in cultivation ended up as honey with venom mixed in it.
Even though he had absolved souls of those that had died, a lot of those souls had gone into his dantain to increase his power instead of only going to repair the walls. Which in turn increased his dantain and made more cracks in the walls.
In other words, it was a vicious double edged sword.
Although it was good news that he now had cultivation, it was bad news that growing it could kill him.
Chiron waved his hand and one of the Aura beast cores that he had gotten from Bama appeared in his hand.
Just like one would absorb a beast's core to help their cultivation grow, Chiron tried to absorb the beast core but it was of no use.
"I knew it!" he muttered to himself.
Chiron guessed that it would not work but he only wanted to confirm his guess.
Normally, a cultivator should be able to absorb the cores that correlated with their cultivation energy.
However, Chiron discovered that he could not absorb the Aura core. he had suspected something like this the moment the rainbow had turned a shade of black and grey when he was absorbing his mother's soul.
This meant that is kind of Aura was not of this world. Therefore, he could not absorb aura from Beast cores. Apparently, he could only absorb souls.
And from the looks of things, he could only absorb them before they journeyed to the underworld. If not, it was lost to him.
But Chiron's new problems had not ended just yet.
He willed the system to appear.

>>Please allocate points<<
This was the first time he was opening the system since got Aura. The amount of alerts and figures he saw took him by surprise.
All his stats had significantly increased and he could clearly see some additional under his stats. He could even see that he was now granted a tittle.
This was obviously as a result of absorbing his mother's soul and and all those other souls that he took in.
He could also see that he had been awarded richly for his hard efforts.
However, when he saw 'Wounded' in front of his rank, it gave him a chilling feeling.
A crazy idea came into his head. It was now obvious that aside from points, he could absorb souls to make himself stronger, but he was still suspicious of a lot of things.
It was better he tested them out now, if not it might really become problematic in the future.
Firstly, he willed a point to Agility. However, nothing happened. The figures did not change.
He willed another point again to Agility, and this time around, there was a change. But the change was not what he expected.
Even though he moved two points to Agility, it had only increased by one point.
That is to say that he now needed twice the amount of points for his stats to increase by one point.
But that was even the least of his problems.
The moment the agility point increased, he noticed that an extra crack appeared on the wall of his Dantain.
This meant that he whether it was by absorbing souls or points, as long as his power increased, then the walls of his Dantain were in trouble.
Just to be sure, he tried the same experiment for all his stats.
At the end of his experiment, he ended up coughing out blood. Aside from 'Luck' and 'Health' all the other stats ended up with increasing the damage to his Dantain.
Chiron's face was in a terrible frown. This effectively meant that he could not increase his strength until he had mended his Dantain wall.
But that was not all. After putting points into his stats, his 'Health' actually went down in Stats.
"Shit!" He cursed lowly.
He immediately looked into the other things the system had for him. After searching for a while, he finally found something that could work. It was an all healing drug.
But the price in front of it made his eyes twitch. He needed at least a thousand points to get the cheapest one.
Changing other people's Fate by Killing them only gave him 5 points. Gathering a thousand would mean a massacre. As he was, he was not strong enough to enjoy the consequences of such a thing.
"Wait a minute!"
Chiron suddenly remembered something. When he came to this world, he had changed elder Fatso's Fate and it had given him his first ten points.
Later on, he discovered that it was because Elder Fatso staying alive could affect his own life and Fate.
After all, it was elder Fatso that advised his father to kill him, and that resulted in him making his own 'Conviction'.
This meant that whether it was negative or positive, if he could change the Fate of people and use them, they would give him points.
Chiron had long ago already admitted to himself that this path to strength he had decided to take was a lonely one. He had no need for company.
But who said that he needed company?
Or was manipulation no longer a tactic to rule the world?
In Chiron's opinion, he could rule anyway necessary. As long as it was to his benefit.
He brought out the pen and paper again and wrote down some particular targets that he had in mind to use.
At the moment, he had acquired Aura but increasing it was a problem. And from the look of things, if he forced it, he could either lose his cultivation or even worse, he could even die.
Once again, he had to search his brain for a way to move forward.
he looked once more at his Stats. Something in there suddenly caught his attention. It was something that he had previously ignored.
And that was the 'Spirit' status.
The reason he had ignored it all along was because he was a Tamashi and could not use it.
However, he remembered that the MC of his book later acquired a method of using his Spirit energy. In fact, this was the main cultivation path that the MC took till the end of the book.
But the MC of the book had only acquired Spirit energy cultivation when the clan came across that threatening Catastrophe that killed thousands of people.
Chiron stood up from where he was and opened up the window. He remembered that the MC had gotten it from there.
Yes! the MC had gotten it from on top the Chikitsa's clan most obvious monument. He had gotten it from the Dormant Volcano behind the Clan.
No one else knew but Chiron did. In there was a Dragon egg. It was not just any dragon egg, but a Spirit-based Dragon egg.
That was the thing that gave the MC of the book the ability to Cultivate.
He had not gone for it before because he knew that he would not even survive half the journey. That dormant volcano was almost double the height of mount Everest in Chiron's former world.
What he needed was to go get it. But that was not all, if he got it, he could maybe also use it to repair his Aura wall.
Chiron went back to sit down. What he needed now was to consolidate his cultivation before he headed out. He had skipped a lot of levels within the rank. He needed to consolidate his Foundation now or face the consequences later.
Thinking this far, the Gathering of the sword clans was also drawing closer.
At least that Calamity to befall the clan was still many years to come. By then, he would have been many times stronger than he was now.
Or at least that was what he thought.
Chiron did not know that he had changed a lot of things or rather brought certain events forward. Many of them were because of the death of those insignificant Assassins...
