every action you do gives you xp on a single branch, but branches share a commoon trunk. According to your level, the xp can be given to "melee fight" or "master 2h axe". When you mean simultaneously, yes, you can for example, use a sword to kill a few (thus getting xp in sword) and then a pistol, or even some acctions will give you xp in 2 like "afflicting missile"
