Bai and Paul dispersed in different colored light particles, white and black being the predominant colors. The particles started converging in a single position, but the black ones crashed with the white ones, repelling each other. The particles then started spinning around, creating a tornado made of them, it seemed like they wanted to mix together.
The tornado was spinning faster and slowly becoming smaller and concentrating forming a human figure. Then, I blindly light shined.
The cracks around the mindscape started repairing themselves, creating a multi-colored space, stronger than before. In the middle of it, a young man stood there with his eyes closed. He was similar to Bai and his copies, but his facial features were more defined, making him feel more mature, he grew taller becoming 1,90 meter tall, with muscles more defined and his hair had changed. He had long hair without any restrain that reached to his hip, with long bang hair that almost covered his eyes.
His hair started with a gray-silvery color at the top and as it approached to his hair tips, the color slowly changed. The most peculiar was that for his left changed the silver color turned darker becoming black and on its right side turned brighter until it became white. Creating a strange contrast where the color of his hair seemed to blur in different colors, differentiating one side from the other.
He opened his eyes, both glowing with a catching light. He had heterochromia, his left eye being black while his right one was golden. With his eyes opened, his sharp features were accentuated even more, looking at his eyes seemed that it could cut you. Making him a kind of exotic and handsome young man with a mysterious and dangerous aura around him.
He opened his eyes widely, black and white aura exploded revolving around him. Both colors were very distinguishable, not mixing together, but somehow each empowered the other, this simple show of his intent was enough to clarify that his intent was a lot stronger than Bai and Paul separated.
The young man looked at his hands, opening and closing them, feeling how they reacted "Shing" A flash of light and a sword appeared at each hand. They weren't the usual Nine Treasure Swords, these ones kept their crystalline sensation, but it didn't have horizontal layers, it had 7 vertical layers that twisted upwards resembling a tornado, each layer different colored, red, green, yellow, gray, a transparent one, blood red and silverly.
There were some differences between both swords, the one that stood at his right hand was wider and more robust, it was a double-edged sword with a rounded side, with a crystalline white handle. It seemed focused on blocking and parry. The one at his left hand was thinner and sharper, with a slight curvature, and had a black handle. It was more effective for quick and deadly slashes.
"So my spirit mutated in two sword" said with a powerful voice that resounded in the space "And even evolved from my Nine Treasure Sword, reflecting better my attributes and preference. I will call them Twin Colored Glazed Swords" {AN: I'm bad with names. If you thought of a better one (it won't be too difficult), I will gladly change, please comment ad thank you}
He started swinging both swords around, the moves seemed little irregulars with some erratic movements and even sometimes the swords affected the other trajectory. He continued swinging and after an hour that uncomfortable feeling of discomfort had completely disappeared, his sword style was refined, without any unnecessary movement or opening. It was clear that he was ambidextrous and seemed to have trained all his life with two sword styles.
He stopped and breathed loudly. He turned his face to one side "How much time are you going to keep watching?"
At the direction that he was looking, the outline of a human silhouette appeared, he had the same colors as the space behind him, a black ring wrapped with gray color over him "We didn't want to disturb your meditation, the first sensations are usually the most important" the outline said with his usual multi-voice.
"Congratulations on passing our first trial" the ring over him dissolved in particles that were absorbed by the young man twin swords. With this, he had finished the fusing of personalities trial, obtaining the control of all his spirit rings. Not only that, but his seventh ring was also formed by the Sword God after completing his second trial, the reward for the first trial was a boost in cultivation, having reached rank 75.
"The ways of the sword are multiple and dispart, inheriting my position means that you reach the top of all these ways. Now that you are completed, you have control of different element, you are talented enough to try to reach this top" Told the Sword God "We accept you as our successor. You will have to surpass seven more trials, growing stronger, becoming able to inherit our title"
"I'm honored" the young man said "I will strive to the top and I will become a god, I will become the strongest and protect my loved ones.
The Sword God nodded and started disappearing "Your third trial will be..."

Opening my eyes, I found myself laying over a bed. I lifted the top half of my body and looked around, instantly recognizing that I stood in my room. I could feel my body sore, like if a lot of time passed without moving.
I fell back, resting my head at the pillow. I had some light head-ache due to the movement. I held my head "I am Paul, but at the same time I am Bai" I said looking at both hands, it was truly strange to have two memories of different people in one mind, even more, when these two people had interacted between each other and had really dispart personalities. Your own self becoming a mix of both "At least one thing is sure, I love my family, love for one side and longing for other. As they choose my name, I would rather continue being named Bai rather than I name given by someone unknown"
The headache continued, my memories continued being a little unstable, needed some reorganization "I would need some time before all is normal" Sensing my surroundings, I could detect some servants at the mansion, but I couldn't sense mother, father or the uncles.
I sat over my bed in a lotus position. I closed my eyes and focused on organizing my own self. After some time, I opened my eyes, the headache vastly lowered "Better do it slowly" I stood up and focused on my mind "
I turned my head looking at one side, sensing some individuals fighting. I approached the window and opened it. I did some light stretches, warming up. "It's time to move a little my body" I grinned jumping over the window.
