Gathering Wives with a System

Chapter 343: Sharing Made Me Reach A Level I Never Thought Was Possible

He also realized something important recently.

If he gained Catherine’s bloodline and Physique, he could be intimate with her regardless of rank.

That understanding came from the Sword Empress’ words.

Celestial Kitsune were a species that had intercourse with anyone, including neighbors, parents, and even their own children.

Catherine herself wasn’t like that. She had strong self-control. But the species as a whole had a reputation because their rank differences didn’t matter within their race.

If it did, they couldn’t have coitus with their children and parents. There was no way all of them were of same rank.

Which was partly why they ended up with so much incest. They had trouble finding compatible partners among other races. So they turned inward. That interbreeding caused genetic disorders, and those disorders destroyed their species.

Isaac exhaled and pushed those thoughts away.

He had more important things to focus on.

’System, share her affinities!’

One by one, the messages appeared.

Level 14 Shadow Affinity gained.

Level 15 Mind Affinity gained.

Level 15 Poison Affinity gained.

Isaac stared at the numbers, stunned by how high they were.

The new power settled into him like cold streams of mana flowing through untouched channels. A rush of information followed immediately. His mind filled with what each affinity level meant, almost like someone whispering instructions directly into his thoughts.

He had never been taught what affinities could do beyond level ten. He always assumed it would take him time to reach that level, and for the information to become relevant. Now he understood it all instantly.

’I can finally project elements outside my body without a medium.’

He lifted his hand.

A small orb of shadow formed in his palm as naturally as breathing. It spun slowly, thick and dense, like a compressed darkness trying to escape.

He flicked it forward with a quick motion.

The orb shot ahead like a bullet and hit the wall. The impact was silent, but the entire area around the point of contact darkened as if light itself had been pushed away.

Isaac nodded to himself. The result was clean and solid.

Level 1 to Level 5 affinities allowed a person to use their elemental attribute inside their own body. Fire made you physically stronger. Lightning boosted strength and speed but burned stamina quickly. Everything stayed internal.

Level 6 to Level 10 allowed manifestation outside the body, but only with a medium. Isaac had used his sword aura for this. By infusing it with his affinity, he created Elemental Sword Aura.

But Level 10 to Level 15 changed everything. Now he could project elements freely without relying on a medium. Pure element, shaped by will alone.

Even his Elemental Sword Aura had become much stronger.

’Sis really maxed out everything she had,’ Isaac thought.

Anyone could see how much training she must’ve done. The dedication behind it was obvious.

Finally, he scrolled down to her skills.

Bloodline / Physique Skills (Share):

— SSS rank, Level 9: Kitsune Charm Ensnarement

— SSS rank, Level 10: Illusion Weave

— SSS rank, Level 10: Venomous Spirit Threads

— SSS+ rank, Level 9: Celestial Soul-Drain Ecstasy

— SSS+ rank, Level 10: Celestial Truth-Seeking Fox Eyes

— SSS+ rank, Level 10: Shadow-Soul Substitution

Isaac grinned.

’Share all skills!’

One by one, they flowed in.

Skill Kitsune Charm Ensnarement gained.

Skill Illusion Weave gained.

Skill Venomous Spirit Threads gained.

Skill Celestial Soul-Drain Ecstasy gained.

Skill Celestial Truth-Seeking Fox Eyes gained.

Skill Shadow-Soul Substitution gained.

He checked their descriptions with a quick glance.

Kitsune Charm Ensnarement (SSS).

This skill turned his natural allure into a psychic toxin whenever he wished. Even someone resisting it would experience mental fatigue and a weakened will.

Illusion Weave (SSS).

He could bend light and ambient mana to form afterimages or fake clones realistic enough to confuse most observers.

Venomous Spirit Threads (SSS).

He could inject spiritual poison into wounds, thoughts, or illusions. The poison corroded clarity, courage, and mental stability.

Celestial Soul-Drain Ecstasy (SSS+).

With even a simple touch, he could siphon vitality, stamina, determination, or mana. In combat, brushing someone’s arm was enough to weaken their desire to fight.

Celestial Truth-Seeking Fox Eyes (SSS+).

He could detect lies, alter memories, and see through illusion layers or hidden personas. Any form of mind-control or perception manipulation would become visible to him.

Shadow-Soul Substitution (SSS+).

He could swap positions with his own shadow, allowing him to avoid fatal attacks or ambush counterstrikes. It had a cooldown of thirty minutes.

Isaac raised his eyebrows.

’Damn overpowered skills.’

And these were only her Physique and Bloodline skills.

Catherine still had her Talent and Class skills.

He scrolled further and froze again.

Talent / Class Skills (Share):

Talent (SSS+):

— Eclipse Presence Erasure (Level 10)

— Mind-Silencing Execution (Level 10)

— Mirror-Eclipse Prison (Level 9)

Class 1 (SSS):

— Moonstep Silent Footwork (Level 9)

— Silver Crescent Whipblade Dance (Level 9)

Class 2 (SSS):

— Perception Lock Disrupt (Level 10)

— Killing Mirage Projection (Level 10)

Class 3 (SSS+):

— Void-Silence Guillotine (Level 9)

— Eclipse Dimensional Slip (Level 10)

Class 4 (SSS+):

— Foxfire Soulburn Kiss (Level 10)

— Celestial Death-Flare Assassination (Level 9)

Isaac stared at the page for a long moment.

’How the hell did she get all her skills to level nine or level ten?’

There wasn’t a single skill below that. Not even one.

SSS rank awakeners had high innate talent, and thus mastered their skills faster.

Still, it took most of them years raising a single SSS-rank skill to level 9.

Raising an SSS+ skill was worse.

Entire powerful Lords invested everything to get even one member to that point.

But Catherine had done it across every class and talent she had.

Isaac didn’t feel discouraged. If anything, he felt excited.

This was a full banquet laid out in front of him.

’It’s free buffet. One I’m going to enjoy to the fullest,’ Isaac thought.

He took a breath to steady himself.

’System, share all her Talent and Class skills!’
