1st person Pov:
'Put all my stats in wisdom.' I only have three stat points at the moment. If I want to see the results, I just have to invest them one by one in the stat that is closest to the five-number mark. That is only wisdom for now. This would also allow me to see what other effects this stat has on me other than predicting situations.
[Wis +1]
I don't feel anything.
[Wis +1]
Again nothing.
[Wis +1]
[Your wisdom stat is now 20]
[Skill foresight has been granted]
[Foresight: level 1]
[Grants the ability to predict actions taken by someone. You can see their possible intentions in their character sheet]
There it is. Not only did I get a new skill, but I also felt something unclogged in the back of my head. Or should I say my mind? I can't tell exactly. So, the wisdom stat can help me think more clearly and predict more than one possible scenario of a situation. This is amazing in its own sense. And not only that the skill I got from it can help me predict the actions of a person as well. Predicting someone's actions or knowing their intentions. That's a natural skill that only comes with age. Even then some people can fool you. If this stat and skill can do what is really said, then it will be easy to know who is loyal to me and who is not. The possibilities are endless. It won't be wrong to say that this in itself is a whole other field to master.
Now I know how to use stats. From now on I can start investing stat point to how it benefits me. Another chapter is closed for now. If something new regarding it comes up, I will think about it then. For now, I should see how this All-mana body skill works and check its circulation effects. Its effects granted from the system are amazing. So now I need to know what else can I bring out of it using my experience.

1 hour later.
[Continuous circulation of mana has nourished your body thoroughly. All stats increased by 1]
The result is far better than the results of Mana heart circulation. And also, it does not only enhance my non-combat stats but also my physical stats as well. This is a great achievement on its own. And the effects increase if I continuously use this skill to raise its level. But it won't be easy. Mana heart advanced after a few days because it was an inferior skill to this one. Something that grants fewer benefits is easier to master. However, this skill is 10 times better than that. So, of course, the efforts expended on it are many times more than that too.
I will worry about it later. For now, let's try to bring all my physical stats to the 10-point mark.

Huuu…. let's stop for now. Just as I thought. It only took an hour to raise stats by one but now it took a whole night to raise them by 3. This is about a double difference after each circulation. If we go by that theory, then I would need an entire day to increase my stats by 2 next time. By no means less is it a loss. Such fast progress is not possible even with the purest of Ki. Not to mention that in one night I have increased each of my stat by four. That Is 28 stats in one night which is equivalent to gaining about 9 whole levels. Good thing it does not increase my level this way. Now I can raise stats like this and also raise my level to reap free stat points benefits. Increasing my level would only become different at later stages. If it increases my level, I will not gain the maximum benefits of mana circulation.
But still, this circulation method is amazing. In one night, I am now many times stronger than yesterday. Now that the benefits are lessening, I should utilize the other method to raise my strength. That is to increase my level. For that, I need Carla. But I also need to find out other methods. Depending on Carla is not a wise choice.
Also, I need to do something about this mana signature of mine. I saw Carla looking at me suspiciously. If she had somehow sensed the presence of mana within me, she would get suspicious. And that's only my mother for now. If this gets out of the family, all the attention would be on me. Some would try to butter me up while some would try to hinder my growth out of fear. Not all intentions are good just like not all people are good. Had I been in Kunlun I could do something similar like concealing my Ki after reaching the transcendence realm. But here I know nothing about power hierarchy. So, I should turn to my only ally for now.
'System, is there any way for me to conceal my mana signatures?'
[Concealing mana to a certain level is not impossible at your level right now. However, you can buy skills for that]
Oh, I forgot about buying skills in all this. But the shop function is not unlocked. It will take a long time to reach level 10 at this rate.
[You can bypass the locked function temporarily by paying double the price for the skill.]
As always there is a solution. 'What is the cost of the skill?'
[The skill 'Mana conceal' can be bought with two skill points. To bypass the locked function on the shop, the skill can be bought by paying four skill points.]
[Does the user wish to proceed?]
[Yes\No]
