Wizard: Unlimited Profession Slots Chapter 876 - 386: Hope of Recovery (Part 2)

She turned back to gaze at Ron, her eyes alight with an emotion that was difficult to describe:

"During this training, our consciousness will intertwine to a significant extent, and there might be some peculiar sensations... Master, I hope you don't mind..."

The hidden meaning behind her words sent a subtle wave of unease through Ron.

A direct connection with Spiritual Power was, indeed, an essential step for learning this advanced technique.

"I don't mind." After a moment's thought, Ron decided to proceed:

"Then let's begin."

Eve's face lit up with a brilliant smile upon hearing his consent.

Her pure joy radiated like the sun breaking through the clouds.

"Please sit opposite me."

She took a seat on one side of the round table, gesturing for Ron to occupy the other side:

"Place your hands on the table, palms facing upwards."

Ron assumed the instructed position, and Eve mirrored him, placing her hands flat on the tabletop.

Her hands were delicate, her skin so pale it appeared almost translucent, her fingers slender, and her nails a soft pink.

"First, lower your Spiritual Protection so that my consciousness can make contact with your outer spiritual layer. Rest assured, this will only be a superficial touch."

Her voice softened, becoming more focused.

As Ron gradually lowered his Spiritual Protection, he immediately felt a gentle yet firm consciousness probing his spiritual boundary.

It was Eve's Spiritual Power, possessing a unique clarity, much like that of a Purple Crystal.

Simultaneously, their hands made light contact.

A faint tremor emanated from Eve's palm; her touch was as smooth as silk, yet carried a noticeable chill.

"Very good... Now, I will begin guiding your Spiritual Power for diversion..."

As she spoke, Ron felt his consciousness being gently enveloped, drawn into an entirely new domain.

Within this state, he could clearly perceive the emotional currents flowing from the depths of Eve's heart.

Her longing for him was so potent it nearly overwhelmed his consciousness.

Yet, her technical guidance remained exceptionally precise.

Under her direction, Ron's Spiritual Power commenced flowing through multiple distinct pathways concurrently.

The experience was extraordinarily surreal, akin to the brain suddenly gaining the capacity for numerous independent processors, enabling the simultaneous execution of completely different tasks.

"Can you feel it?"

Eve's voice resonated directly within his consciousness, imbued with a dreamy, otherworldly quality:

"This is true Spiritual Diversion—not mere switching, but genuine parallel processing."

Guided by her, Ron gradually grasped the complete dual diversion technique, moving beyond the simpler switching he had explored previously.

In the past, whenever he controlled his Stand-In Puppet, his physical body was rendered incapable of executing any precise actions.

"Your speed of progress is truly astonishing..."

Eve's consciousness transmitted a sense of admiration:

"Most individuals require months to master this facet of the skill, yet you, Master, have essentially mastered it within mere hours."

As the training progressed, the spiritual connection between them deepened progressively.

Ron became attuned to the complex emotions residing within Eve's heart.

Her gratitude, her profound attachment, and something even more profound.

It transcended simple fondness or affection; it was a more primal, instinctive reliance, like a drowning person desperately clinging to a life raft.

Through this profound spiritual communion, he also began to comprehend Eve's deep-seated anxieties.

She harbored a fear of abandonment, a dread of succumbing once more to the darkness, and a terror of losing her sole beacon of hope.

This fear was so intense it threatened to warp her already fragile psyche.

The notifications appearing on the transparent panel brought a surge of joy to Ron's heart.

This advancement arrived at an opportune moment, signifying a qualitative leap in his combat capabilities.

Furthermore, mastering consciousness diversion yielded additional advantages.

He sensed that his Spiritual Shock skill had also seen a significant improvement with this breakthrough.

[Spiritual Shock (Proficient) Experience Points + 3]

[Current Progress: Spiritual Shock (Proficient 84/100)]

The ability for multithreaded thinking allowed him to exert finer control over the output of his Spiritual Power, and this enhanced precision directly translated into his combat prowess.

"Master?"

Eve perceived the subtle shift in his consciousness, a flicker of concern crossing her purple crystal-like eyes:

"Did you just experience some kind of realization?"

"Yes, I have successfully mastered the technique of parallel casting."

He affirmed with a nod, his eyes brimming with gratitude:

"This achievement is all due to your guidance, Your Highness. Without your invaluable assistance, it likely would have taken me considerably longer to reach this point."

Hearing these words of appreciation, the dark-haired Princess lowered her head with a hint of shyness.

The feeling of being acknowledged and proving useful clearly brought her significant inner peace.

"Being able to assist you, Master, brings me more joy than anything else," she replied, her voice filled with genuine contentment.

As their training session concluded, their hands remained gently clasped.

Eve seemed reluctant to break the connection, her fingers lightly tracing the back of Ron’s hand with a touch as delicate as a feather.

"This is merely the start, Master," the Princess stated.

Her dark hair framed a face that hinted at deeper intentions, her voice carrying a significant undertone:

"I am also aware of numerous other profound techniques, precious lore passed down from my grandfather and other revered Masters. Should you ever require them, I am eager to share everything without hesitation."
