"Janice, tell me if this voice is accurate."
"No."
"Can you be more specific?"
"No."
Jasper scratched his head. "Be more specific."
"Your voice is the same, but the tone is not there yet. The volume is also not the same, make it lower," Janice then pointed out what she noticed.
"Hmm, it's not just about making the same voice but having the same tone and attitude as well. Got it, got it… I will be needing more references."
Jasper then looked at Liam and asked, "Tell me about your day. Be as natural as possible."
'Would that work?' he thought to himself.
Normally, when one is told to act normal, unless they are a professional actor, they would act more unnatural. However, Jasper's words as the master should be absolute. Would a slave be able to obey his words even if it's not usually within their capability?
Against his will, Liam began telling his story. While his face crunches up, his voice flows naturally.
'Win for the Unrivaled Sovereign System!' Jasper almost jumped in joy.
Liam's day went like this. He woke up, took a bath, ate breakfast. The usual. Then he met up with his friends, and hanged out with a girl named Sophie. That was when he received Martin and Justine's message. Sophie wanted to come but he left her without asking due to anger.
"You have anger issues," Jasper immediately pointed out. He also remembered how Liam almost killed him just because he was glared at.
But while Liam was telling his story, Jasper tested out his voice while getting feedback from Janice. An hour or so later, his voice was so similar that it was hard to determine who was talking between the two.
Jasper benefited a lot today. Furthermore, he got to know more about Liam. After all, he will be taking Liam's place at school from now on.
"This is such a hassle, why do you have so many friends?" Jasper only has three Enslavement Seals for now.
From navigating the system earlier, he saw that he could only get more once he ranked up to Baron from being a Low Baron. Thus, he couldn't enslave all of Liam's friends. Furthermore, even if he had enough Enslavement Seals, he would only use them on critical people in critical places.
If he can get by without using them, he will not use them.
'I'll just have to act then.'
"Alright, you can go home now. But first, log in all your social media account here in my phone. I will have know your social life and the dynamics of your social groups."
"Why?"
Liam took the phone and logged in to his accounts with an unrelenting expression.
"Why? It's because I will take your place at school."
"What?"
Jasper then gave all the necessary orders. Liam should never tell anyone about this. He should come to this place whenever he's free. He should provide a daily report of what's happening in his life. Once Jasper knew enough about Liam and could act like him, they'd switch places until Jasper got the hang of it. Finally, once school starts, Jasper will take Liam's place while Liam hides here in his room.
"Are you nuts!?"
Of course, Liam was unwilling.
"No?"
Unfortunately, it doesn't matter if he's unwilling or not. Just like that, his body walked him out of the room and brought him home.
Janice also went home after changing back to her 'non-work clothes'.
Jasper dropped on his bed and felt today was very productive. However, it wasn't enough. He has yet to feel sleepiness. Thus, he had to get to work.
His primary goal, besides infiltrating his own high school, is to reach the Baron Rank within twenty-eight days.
'Why would I need to wait for twenty-eight days to reach the Baron Rank when I can do it in the next few days?' Jasper smirked.
He had already satisfied the first condition which is to reach Fourth Stage Body Tempering Realm. The other condition is to have five slaves. The last condition is to have two followers to reach the second stage.
Jasper didn't worry about the last condition since he trusts Martin and Justine. What sane person would not try their best to take this opportunity and jump cultivation stages? At least, he believed his friends to be sane.
Thus, the only obstacle is to have five slaves. Currently, he has three slaves so he needs two more. The problem was that he didn't want to waste his Enslavement Seals for the aforementioned reasons.
Jasper needed two critical people who might be worth and possibly to enslave.
Among his batch, Liam is at the top. Thus, it could be said that he didn't need to worry about his batch anymore. He needed someone who was a central figure among the seniors in his high school.
"Who could it be…"
Unfortunately, Jasper didn't know much about the students at the Brukmere Public High - the high school he was enrolled in.
"I'll ask tomorrow. I'll get the other one for now."
Jasper headed out and went to the downtown of the nearest city where his high school is also situated, City of Brukmere.
It took him five hours to find the perfect candidate, enslave them, orient them, and return to his apartment room.
Strangely, either it's because of his two-week sleep or he had reached the perfect stage of the Body Tempering Realm, Jasper still haven't felt the need to sleep.
Dimensional Storage: [Body Tempering Mystery Chest x2], [Enslavement Seal x2], [Body Tempering Qi Stone x300], [Qi Refining Qi Stone x10], [Sovereign's Will Essence x1]
"Alright, it's time to open them and see what I get."
[Opening Body Tempering Mystery Chest…]
[User obtained Body Tempering Qi Stone x5, Skin Refinement Cultivation Manual, and Bone-Strengthening Cultivation Skill.]
"... what a treasure! One cultivation method and one cultivation skill? There are also five Qi Stones haha."
Jasper hurriedly opened another.
[Opening Body Tempering Mystery Chest…]
[User obtained Body Tempering Qi Stone x4, Shattered Bones Cultivation Manual, and Lighter Breathing Cultivation Skill]
"Huuu…" Excitement rushed through Jasper.
He also noticed that he only received four Qi Stones, which means the number of Qi Stones will not be consistent. But that's alright. He doesn't lack Qi Stones for now.
The cultivation manuals are useless for Jasper as he has already reached the Perfect Body Tempering Stage. However, they will be useful for his followers, his two idiot friends, Martin and Justine!
As for the cultivation skills, Jasper currently had none. Not only because he was a non-cultivator but also cultivation skills and cultivation manuals are more expensive than Qi Stones. The working-class would only be able to afford one in every two years or so.
That's not a problem, though. Cultivation takes time, so the average cultivator would only need one for the next year or so.
Jasper looked through the cultivation skills.
—
Bone-Strengthening Cultivation Skill
A Body Tempering Realm cultivation skill that strengthens bone density and durability for five seconds.
—
Lighter Breathing Cultivation Skill
A Body Tempering Realm cultivation skill that increases the efficiency of blood flow, the function of the heart, and the lungs, providing greater stamina to the user.
—
"One is temporary durability while the other is for greater stamina," Jasper thought about it and decided to learn both of them. Learning cultivation skills consumes the will within the object.
Cultivation skills use one's cultivation base to execute certain abilities, unlike martial arts, which uses the physical body. Cultivation skills are exponentially much harder to learn, like the difficulty in climbing cultivation stages. Learning a cultivation skill from scratch may take years. Thus, creators of cultivation skills inject their will into the scrolls. It's like downloading a file from a drive.
Jasper then thought about it. Will the
It's not a far-fetched thought. The system had so much cheats that this may be possible as well.
Upon searching through the system manual, he found what he was looking for.
'Another win for the Unrivaled Sovereign System!'
—-
Reorigin
A sovereign is a source of strength for all under their influence. Reorigin is the ability to replicate resources for the purpose of domination.
[Condition: Duke Rank]
—-
"Duke!? That's still far away…"
This should also be the ability of how the Ancestor creates clones. That also means that the Ancestor is at least at Duke Rank, twelve ranks higher than Jasper.
He ignored the difference in strength for now.
Jasper then looked at the seemingly greater item he had in his Dimensional Storage: Sovereign's Will Essence.
—
Sovereign's Will Essence
A concentrated and filtered will from deceased rulers under the heaven. Once consumed, it will fortify one's will, increasing one's authority and power to influence.
—
"A way to increase one's authority!"
Jasper could feel the importance of authority. From what he heard from the book, authority was given to him when he became the system's master. Furthermore, his authority is greater than the Ancestor's.
He still didn't know much about it, so he looked it up in the system manual.
—
Authority
No information…
