Techniques

After returning to the basement of the church Jordan spends the rest of the night learning the techniques to increase mana purity. Even though it was unnecessary he read even the one he is going to give to the humans in the camp.

The technique for humans was in fact just pouring your mana into mana-rich material and letting it mix with it then retrieving the mana and suturing the user´s center of power making it gradually stronger. An easy technique, Jordan felt almost stupid for buying it, but it was something, with this they can get out of the ground and may even develop their own and better techniques.

As for the technique to reach higher circles from the third circle. The technique first required the user to manually refine a bit of mana to the fourth circle then using the fourth mana to attract more mana from the mana of the user. The mana attracted would be very little, but it would be the fourth circle. While doing this inside the center of power it should make the center of power gradually do this automatically.

The con of this technique is that it degrades the rest of the mana the user has as it takes the purest bits of mana from the rest, this gradually makes any third circle mana drop down to the second circle.

The technique itself is a downgrade for Jordan´s current natural absorption which is a layered sphere inside his second heart.

Jordan put the techniques away and focused on his second heart, he still kept the barrier around it but by now the heart was almost fully healed, deciding it was enough Jordan released the barrier and he could feel all the mana returning to his body.

With the returning mana Jordan could feel aching all around his body, it wasn't really good for him to hold all the mana around his center of power as the mana nurtured his body and mutations, the drop in his body rank was also partially because the body didn't have access to the mana from his center of power but this was unavoidable as letting his body suck the mana from his cracked center of power would probably make his center of power permanently crippled.

The mana filled every part of his body and after a while, Jordan finally felt healthy again, like a well-oiled machine. ´this can be only used to save my center of power… nurturing my center of power like this would only damage my body´

Still, using the barrier around the center of his power saved him. Jordan probed his center of power and after a while, he decided. ´I will create my own technique it doesn't look all that hard´ but this will have to wait for now.

Before the sun came up Jordan read through the book that taught how to use mana from the air, he made sure there isn't some way to create a powerful spell that the humans could use against him and there are none, the problem with the mana from the air is that it cant be used to a power circle spell, the caster has to shape and create the spell using his will, this can make the spell slightly stronger than normal first circle spell but the casting time is longer and completely depends on the proficiency.

Still, the book contained many interesting topics and had many uses for everyday life, and most importantly with it Jordan can create a gap between the humans, it is what he is trying to do by giving enormous privileges to the citizens, this will be the last nail in the coffin.

The hate and envy between the forced workers and citizens should start to rise and with it, the humans should be a bit occupied to not bother themselves with Jordan.

And the fact that the forced workers can become citizens will be a great motivator to keep everyone on toes while increasing theirs individual strength, which is another thing Jordan wants to promote, but he has to be careful so the humans don't become too strong…. ´shit… so complicated´

Jordan could feel the headache coming but there is no other way, he isn't such a great leader to win all the humans to his side and have them blindly following him, to achieve this one has to have brainwashing powers.

The sun was already rising so Jordan got up collected the books he has for the humans and left to the library, the workers here will copy the book and disturb it to the citizens, also he wants to check on the progress with a translation of the awakening recipe.

With the sun rising behind his back Jordan went to the library, there were already humans around coming to work or some leaving as they were ordered to translate the book even overnight.

Jordan approached one random woman with short blond hair, he asked her "where is the group leader of a library?" the woman froze in place then she slowly looked at Jordan and started to speak "aa -a aa, h- her-ee", terrible, absolutely terrible, if everyone is like this than replacing them with monster would be better.

The group leader seeing the commotion made his way to Jordan and spoke "Leader, it´s good to see you, did you come to check the awakening recipe?" this group leader was an old man in his fifties and even though he managed to speak he didn't dare to look Jordan in the eyes, in the end, everyone was scared, no wonder, the punishment that happened yesterday scared everyone shitless, it wasn't the people who were strange, it was Jordan.

Jordan didn't bother anymore the fear will create negative energy so this is a good thing "yes, and I brought something to be copied and distributed to all citizens, do make sure none of the free humans or forced laborers get to it" group leader "yes yes, now please if you want to see the recipe please come with me"

The recipe was translated into a small book, there were procedures on how to make the potion, which herbs to use together with pictures and also few diagrams of spells to use on the potions, the whole procedure was rather complicated and making even one potion will probably take at least a day.

The main ingredient were centers of power from an elemental beast or the mana crystals, the better quality the better the potion, using high tier crystal may even lead to being awakened in a higher circle.

The book also had a description of how the awakening happens and besides that, it also contained the number of successful awakening. 9 out of ten will survive and awaken, ´not bad´

After the holidays Jordan gave William ends, William will be given the task of producing potions.

Right now with all the talking is done Jordan wants to conquer the rest of the city, it would be for the best if he can do it before he has to return on the platform so that he can just take care of everything in one go.

Almost all the angel camps in the city were already destroyed, now there are only rogue groups of humans and few camps controlled by demons but with the beasts in Jordan´s control, it's only a matter of time to kill or capture them.
