Chapter 25: Testing New powers.
---
After the morning training Kent out of breath covered in sweat decided to take a bath 🚿.
Kent muttered, dragging himself to the bathroom. "After bathing I'll wake up that lazy little sister of mine. I'm too tired to do everything alone."
After the bath Kent goes to Nima's room to wake her up. Nima was sleeping 😴 like a little baby who doesn't have any problems in this world. She looked so innocent and cute Kent's heart was filled with love for his sister.
Kent looking at her says to himself. My little sister got the Soulbinder SSS, a skill which sounds like a villain would have. A dark skill. But it's too much overpower skill. I wish I had her skill. Unlike mine which doesn't let me cultivate.
Let's use my appraisal to check if there's any side effects to the skill. In this way I could check my appraisal skill too. I don't have to waste my SP on trying to use Appraise some random stuff. SP is money for me. I can't waste my SP until I am (at least Level -C) strong enough.
"I am such a genius." 🤯 Ha Ha Ha.
System use appraisal to Nima soulbinder skill. Show me what cool things this skill has.
System notifications comes-

2. Can read the captured soul memory.

Kent read's all the information expect the skill Description. He talks to himself. SSS rank skill means there are three more sub skills to the main skill.
But it's a good thing she wouldn't feel any trauma and mental anxiety if she kills some monster or anything else. The peaceful world has changed.
"Now in this spiritual energy return world sooner or later you have to kill to survive."
She got all Overpower skills. With Max physique she progresses faster than anyone in this world, Capture the soul and keeps it as a servant. She can read memories. Can't feel PTSD, talk with every soul.
Damn you system. Where I am stuck on making jokes and causing trouble level up. Wait a minute. My skill is also SSS rank. I should have three sub skills too.
System use appraisal on my :-
'Copy Spiritual Energy SSS '
Calculating. Cost : 10, 000 SP.
System wasn't it supposed to be 1,000 sp? Kent said in anger cursing Fuck. 🤬
No discount on the host himself.
Do you want to use it?
[Yes or No] ?
No…. No, I don't want to.
I need to save sp to level up first. My and Nima's level are the same right now. I have to save sp. Who knows, in a couple of days she might cross me.
I can always check my skill info later when I have enough sp. I already know of my sub skills is copy power from others. If certain conditions is met. Like if I have that superpower or skill affinity.
Kent still can't wait to know about his other two sub skills. But he can't waste SP for now. He is really angry at the system for not giving him a discount.
Kent yelling at the system woke up Nima. She asked Kent what are you doing? Did I sleep 🥱 for too long?
I came here to wake you up. I need some help with cooking breakfast. My arms are sore from training. Now come, I have to finish everything fast then go to school.
Nima gets up from bed and follows Kent to the kitchen. Kent tells her to help with some things. After that Kent is cooking.
Nima said how dare that old man put you through such tuff training. That old man doesn't know how to solve math problems. He acts like he is some big shot.
He even makes your hand sore. I have to tell him to train you less.
Ooww, my little sister cares for me a lot. Kent thinking.
Nima is still talking. He doesn't know you are the world 's best cook. If your hand becomes sore, who will cook for me?
😶... Kent thought Just shattered. 💔
Damn it... She cares about food more than me.
Nima you are pulling my leg right?
She chuckled 🫢 no. I have to tell him you are the best cook. Now hurry up and make breakfast! I'm starving!"
Kent finishes his cooking. He goes near Nima, you little… naughty little girl. I have taught you a lesson. She jumps and runs away.
You naughty little girl, always pulling my leg! Let's see if you can outrun me now!"
Few minutes later they eat their breakfast . "After that Kent finally handed her over to Xian Yu for her lessons.
"Old man," Kent said with a smirk, "take care of her. She's got a sharp tongue today, but I'm sure you can handle it."
Xian Yu sighed dramatically, muttering to himself. "I wanted a disciple, not a babysitting job…"
Kent entered the special class with a sly grin, eager to test his other new skill. The other students were already seated, chatting among themselves.
"Today's the day," Kent thought, his fingers twitching with anticipation. "Let's see how good this Spiritual Clock really is."
During a break between lessons, Kent slipped into a quiet corner of the hall. He closed his eyes, focusing on the flow of spiritual energy within him.
"System, activate Spiritual Clock."
A faint shimmer surrounded him, and a translucent, clock-like barrier formed around his body. The air inside felt calm, almost silent, as if the world outside had been muted.
"Whoa," Kent whispered, looking around. "This is pretty cool. Let's see what it can do."
He stepped out of the hall and saw a group of classmates nearby. Sneaking up behind one of them, he activated the clock again.
"BOO!"
The student jumped, spinning around. "What the—where did you come from?!"
Kent grinned. "Just testing a little something."
Ding! +77 SP copied (Fear).
Encouraged by the success, Kent spent the rest of the break using his Spiritual Clock to sneak up on classmates, startle them, and earn SP.
One student turned bright red with embarrassment after Kent suddenly appeared behind her. ( Might have a crush on Kent. )
Ding! +88 SP copied (Embarrassment).
Another tripped over himself trying to back away from Kent's sudden appearance.
Ding! +99 SP copied (Shock).
By the time the break ended, Kent had accumulated over 20,000 SP.
"Not bad," he thought, heading back to class. "This skill is already paying off."
After school, Kent returned home and called Nima. Where are you?
She replied. I am inside. The old man has somewhere to go. So, I came back home.
"Nima, I've got something to teach you," he said while entering the house.
"What is it?" she asked, tilting her head.
"It's a skill called Spiritual Clock. It'll help you defend yourself and block spiritual senses in case of an emergency."
Nima's eyes lit up with curiosity. "Really? Teach me!"
Kent spent the next hour guiding her through the basics, showing her how to channel her spiritual energy into forming the clock-like barrier around her body.
By the end of the session, Nima had managed to create a small, flickering version of the clock.
"Not bad for your first try," Kent said, patting her head.
Nima beamed with pride. "Thanks, big brother!"
Ding! + 99 sp from Nima( Joy) .
Kent couldn't help but smile. "With her growing so fast, I really need to step up my game."
