I'll Surpass The MC-Novel

Chapter 16: Domination and Being Dominated

Prana Domination Skill!

This was a Skill exclusive to Granny Oyo, something she created during decades of research on Fragment Disease. It allowed her to seep her Prana into the target's body and mildly affect them with the Fragment Disease.

By using her Prana to heal the damage caused by the Fragment Disease, she'll leave a mark on the target's bones, thereby turning it into a Spirit Weapon. Once the process is done, the target would become her living, breathing Spirit Weapon.

Their body would be fully under her control.

Resha intended to use the Prana Domination Skill on Inala before to transform him into his Spirit Weapon. That way, Inala would be forced to reveal all his secrets.

Granny Oyo ended up using it on him though.

The imprint had been seamlessly integrated into his cultivation technique. This meant that as long as he continues to cultivate, his body will only be further refined as her Spirit Weapon.

Originally during his plans, Inala thought something like that might happen. But, he wasn't affected by such a notion. After all, he had already thought of many ways to use this to his advantage.

As a Spirit Weapon, he could get close to Granny Oyo and gain more resources from her. And there was a greater chance of survival under a master in the Life Stage.

Moreover, the status quo would end during the First Major Disaster anyway.

Granny Oyo loses her life in the disaster, along with most of the masters of their settlement. The imprint would vanish naturally after that, so he wasn't concerned by it.

Besides, with her strength, she had no reason to ever use him, for he was just a weakling when compared to her.

That was Inala's thoughts until he grabbed the third bone sphere and absorbed its knowledge. The Skill he ended up learning was none other than the Prana Domination Skill.

He stared at Granny Oyo, terrified, unable to determine what her plan was. Why was he taught this Skill? Even Resha only gained it from her moments before her death. That was when intended to pass on her legacy and hence transferred all her Skills to him as an inheritance. The Prana Domination Skill was one of them.

But why was it given to Inala now? There was no danger to her life now. It made no sense.

"Look into my eyes," Granny Oyo inched her face close to his, almost touching him.

Inala tried to break free but noticed his body was constricted by the formless pressure once again. This time, he wasn't even able to close his eyes, forced to stare into hers. A hypnotic sensation washed over him as he fell into a daze.

Granny Oyo whispered in a sultry voice, "Am I pretty?"

"Very," Inala replied truthfully, unaware of what he was even talking about.

"Tell me what you're hiding," She stared at him, her eyes deathly cold.

"Yes…" Inala nodded.

…

Bang! Bang!

"Did you die, Inala?"

"Are you planning to waste my time?"

"Open up, it's already morning!"

"Shit!" Inala woke up in a hurry as his body was drenched in sweat. He looked around, noticing that he was in his dorm room. "What…what happened?"

His body ached all over, experiencing piercing pain every time he breathed. Inala didn't even have to guess the cause of the pain. There were cracks throughout his skeletal frame, with fractures in many locations.

He was weak all over, unable to get up. Rather, he feared his bones would break if he tried to get up.

Bang!

The door slammed open as Virala entered the room, accompanied by Ruvva. His gaze was angry as he stared at the sprawled figure of Inala, "You fucker! Were you planning to sabotage me?"

"I get it you failed to finish on time, but is that any reason to delay submission until now?" He kicked Inala, flinching to see the latter's leg break into two, "You…what the heck? When did your legs become so brittle?"

Virala's gaze covered the empty room and noticed the tub of tonic in one corner, "There it is."

Virala opened the tub and noticed a litre of the tonic inside, grinning in excitement, "Petty bastard. You finished it, huh? Anyway, it has already been a few hours since daybreak. You're not getting a Parute more."

"We're running late, Virala." Ruvva spoke in a hurry, "The event's starting in an hour. We still need to finish concocting the medicine with this tonic."

"Alright, let's go." Virala didn't just plan to sabotage Inala but also intended to use the produced Mud Viper Tonic in concocting a medicine that he planned to sell during the event.

The false mud doors covered the rest of the room, and hence, Virala couldn't see anything else. As Ruvva carried the tub and exited the room, he stopped and stared at the mud doors, 'He's hiding his plans behind them, right?'

Virala placed his hand on the mud doors and pushed them, frowning when they failed to budge. He exerted all his strength and still failed to budge them. In the end, he kicked one of the mud doors in anger, 'Why is it so rigid?'

"Virala! We're running late!" Ruvva shouted shrilly.

"Coming!" Virala responded with a shout. He then stared at Inala, "I don't know what you are planning there, but in your current state, you cannot use them. A month's hard work gone down the drain, such a pity."

"What…just happened?" Inala muttered in confusion once Virala left. The tub of medicine…why was it back in his room? He clearly remembered bringing it to Granny Oyo.

'It makes no sense.' He was confused. The last he remembered was being set on the sofa by Granny Oyo, 'Did she do something to me?'

'No, she already turned me into her Spirit Weapon. There's nothing more to do beyond that.' He frowned, frustrated.

Why was his body in such a state? He couldn't understand. "Damn, my hips hurt the most. Was my jewels crushed or something?"

The pain in his groin region was unbearable. It felt like a bull had rammed him there. The day's light wafted into his room through the door left ajar. On the floor he lay, unable to move, failing to comprehend his state, 'Did my plan go kaput?'

That didn't seem likely since he still retained the knowledge of the upgraded Puppetry Skill, Spirit Reinforcement Skill, and even the Prana Domination Skill.

The most puzzling of all was his Prana. Upon sensing the amount, he was in shock, "This feels absurd."

"How did it rise by so much?"

Prana—20!
