Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 249

Chapter 249: Four Arms

After lunch, Xiang Yu returned to teaching, although he had decided to cancel the lectures because of Li Yao’s mental state, he hadn’t expected it to be resolved so easily.

This time, he gave a one hour runesmithing lecture to the talisman making students. Just like with spirit farming, he also made sure to explain both the base and evolved profession.

After the lecture, he spent the remaining allocated time drawing runes, well, more like talismans. He had originally planned to craft a weapon during his blacksmithing session and then inscribe runes directly onto its surface, creating a treasure for himself. However, due to Li Yao’s interruption he wasn’t able to.

Still, he wasn’t disappointed. His blacksmithing profession had already crossed the halfway point toward its next breakthrough, which meant he would soon be capable of creating even more impressive items.

Similarly, his runesmith profession had also reached the half way point so he just made some relatively low level talismans for trading and for disciples venturing on dangerous missions.

When his runesmithing time concluded, Xiang Yu transitioned to formations. He gave another comprehensive hour-long lecture on formations before moving on to formation making.

For formation making, Xiang Yu felt genuinely satisfied with the current defensive formation protecting the sect. Its capabilities far exceeded anything he could reasonably improve upon without significant advancement in his profession.

The only thing he could possibly add on would be creating a similarly powerful attacking formation, but such an undertaking would require quite some time which he didn’t have at the moment. He already had plans for what to do after dinner...

Instead, he focused on producing relatively low-level formations for trade.

After completing his formation work, Xiang Yu sought out the presidents of both the cooking and medicine schools. He informed them that there wouldn’t be any lectures for the remainder of the day. The medicine students didn’t seem particularly disappointed, after all, they had already received a few instruction sessions already.

The cooking school students, however, were quite disappointed by the news. Seeing their dejected looks, Xiang Yu smiled warmly at them. "Tomorrow, I’ll prepare something special for you guys," he assured them. Immediately, their spirits soared.

After dinner, Xiang Yu made his way back to the spirit vein.

Settling into a meditative posture, Xiang Yu reflected on his recent breakthrough. Now that his enlightenment had finally reached the divine level, he could finally research the cloning techniques he had been thinking of. While he doubted he could immediately create a fully functional clone, he had a few promising ideas.

He concentrated deeply, entering a state of profound meditation that allowed him to analyze every fragment of knowledge he possessed. With his divine level enlightenment, extracting genuine insights from his surface-level understanding of modern scientific concepts became significantly more manageable than before.

The primary challenge he faced centered on the soul component. The Empress had stated that the cloning techniques she knew could only be utilized by cultivators at the Soul Formation level or above. His interpretation of this was that successful clones required some form of soul clone to function properly.

Unfortunately, Xiang Yu’s own soul hadn’t yet reached the adult stage where soul cloning might become possible.

However, he refused to accept defeat so easily. He believed alternative approaches existed if he could think creatively enough about the fundamental problem.

The core issue was control. To operate another body effectively, a soul provided the most straightforward solution—this principle explained phenomena like soul possession. But souls weren’t the only possible control mechanism.

Xiang Yu’s idea was simple: instead of relying on a soul clone, he would use consciousness splitting. He recalled studying animals in his previous life that possessed multiple brains, each capable of independent function while remaining part of a unified organism.

He would create another "body" that could be considered an extension of his original body—kinda like developing an additional limb. If successful, he could divide his consciousness between two bodies, allowing each to operate independently while maintaining overall unified control.
