" De-Demon Arhat? What's that? "
Mael was confused and shocked by Ryu's words.
" Haha, you are an existence that defies the natural order of things, an existence that will be feared and awed by everyone. As for what you are.... a Demon Arhat is born when Godly power and Demonic combine equally. The result is what we call a Demon Arhat.
The odds of a Demon Arhat being born is literally one in trillions. It's not just because of how strong such existence is but also because of the nearly impossible conditions before one can be born.
Let's say, for a Demon Arhat the Godly power needs to be 100.000000000 then Demonic power also needs to be 100.000000000. Even a difference of 0.000000001 wouldn't make it. Now do you understand what kind of a miracle you are? "
Mael was dazed. He always believed himself to be talentless when it comes to being a Warrior. But now, now he understood why he was trash, why he couldn't advance like the others. So he was such an existence.
" From your energy I can sense you train in Buddhist Arts, that's good. If you trained in anything else I am afraid you wouldn't even reach Copper Grade. How did you come by a Buddhist Art? "
" I picked it from a temple belongings to Buddha Sect. Common Arts can be taken by commoners without paying anything."
" I see...
Buddha Sect was one of the Ten Great Sects within Heaven Alliance. They advocate fairness and kindness.
" Master, what should I do to advance further? "
" Simple. Train in the exclusive Art for a Demon Arhat and your strength would soar like an eagle. You won't have any bottlenecks nor would you lack in comprehension."
" But Master, I don't know such an Art."
Ryu smiled.
" That's where you have me."
He pointed his finger towards Mael. An orb light shot out of the tip of his finger and submerged inside Mael's head. Mael's eyes lost focus for few minutes before snapping out.
" Demon And Buddha As One, an Art exclusive for Demon Arhats. You already have a cultivation of Level 9 Silver Grade, that has to be completely discarded."
" I have to train from scratch? "
Mael was flustered. It took him years to reach his current level. He didn't know how long it would take him to get back up if he starts from nothing.
" You still don't understand the might of your Physique and your Art. Just be a man and start your training."
Ryu waved his hand. Chaos energy rushed into Mael's body and completely dispersed his Energy. Mael's felt his body get weak, he couldn't adjust to the sudden change and almost fell down.
" Stop dreaming and start training. That amount of food should be enough for you to get started."
Without his cultivation Mael felt his body blot up with energy. Before his body would simply disperse any energy so he wasn't worried when eating high Grade meat but now he felt like a balloon about to burst.
Sitting in a meditative position Mael went through ' Demon And Buddha As One '. Energy rose from his gut and followed a specific route. Slowly his body birthed a majestic Aura, at first it was faint like a spark of fire about to go out at any moment.
1 Minute.... 2 Minute.... 10 Minute... Mael forgot the time and sat in meditation. He felt as if he entered the primordial world, an army of Warriors stood orderly before his eyes. Giants, Demons, Buddhas.... all of them seemed to be waiting for someone.
It was at this moment a figure descended upon the mass of Warriors. He wore plain robes and held a long sword in his hands. The army of Warriors that shook the heavens froze when they saw this man. Unknowingly every one of them took a step back.
Mael watched in shock as the army of Warriors bowed before him. This scene was shocking to a fifteen year old boy, he gazed at the figure within the sky with awe. Sensing his gaze the figure turned around and looked at Mael.
Those pitch black eyes evoked not fear but familiarity within Mael. He felt a sense of closeness to the man before him. The man smiled at Mael and said.
" Finally.....
The man waved his hand. Mael felt his body freeze and being pulled towards the figure in the sky. He didn't panic, somehow he knew this man won't harm him.
Standing infront of such an existence Mael felt oddly at ease. Gazing at Mael kindly the man said
" It's time for you to wake up."
Mael felt his body warm up. Energy started to well up inside him, he could feel something trying to break out from within. The man didn't stop rather he pushed it further. A majestic Aura broke out of Mael's body, it had the same air of authority like the man before him.
The army before raised their head and bowed again. This time not towards the man but at Mael.
" Go. The world awaits your legend."
Mael felt his vision get blurry and passed out. The moment he did so Mael opened his eyes and looked around. The shocking scene from before was gone, only the starry skies and the wilderness remained.
" Master.... what.... what was that? "
" Your Bloodline. As a Demon Arhat, your soul traced the last one and awakened your physique. I am surprised as well, i was going to awaken it later but it seems your ancestors made preparations."
Taking in what Ryu said Mael calmed down but only for a second. His eyes nearly popped out when he checked himself.
Level 2 Copper Grade Warrior!!
" Shocked? I told you didn't I? "
Mael couldn't hide his excitement. He clenched his fist and felt the power within him. He was sure he was stronger than before. He couldn't fathom how? A Golden Warrior being weaker than a Silver Warrior? Impossible!
" Rest up. We will go to Holy City tomorrow and retrieve your mother."
Mael froze. Tears welled up in his eyes. Nodding slightly he found a corner and went to sleep.
