42 Breakthrough (2/2)

Arnin absorbed the components using the two different methods. He mostly found the darkness element, however sometimes, he would run into the death element. Death was an uncommon element. It was very strong, however it wasn't overpowering. Arnin had control over death in his previous life, so he went through with controlling it in this life as well. Death was very weak in the beginning stages, and even during the mid stages, it wasn't able to be ranked anywhere near the top, however once one mastered death, they would become extremely mighty.

Darkness and death were the two main components that Arnin was directly absorbing. These two fell under the negative aspect of essence, however there were still plenty of people who absorbed them. The shadow element was also very useful, however Arnin didn't directly absorb it since he didn't need the essence.

Hours passed and Arnin continued to silently cultivate. He didn't go to see whether Elidia was alright and just stayed in his home. If he did go to see Elidia, then he might have noticed a small change inside of her.

Sitting down with a dull look, Elidia watched Lilise sleep. Her eyes were still puffy from her previous bouts of crying, however she had calmed down. Lilise luckily didn't see in her in such a state. Elidia began to recall the scenes from the library and couldn't help but slightly tremble. She remembered how Arnin slammed the two guys' faces onto the desk without showing any expression.

”He isn't normal. Arnin is the same age as Lilise, but why is he so different?” Elidia couldn't help but question this. She didn't dare to think about acting arrogantly in front of Arnin anymore, or rather, she was too scared to. She sighed as she slowly laid beside her sister. She pulled the covers onto her body and closed her eyes.

Her orb, which was originally a faint greenish color, began to slowly show signs of black. It was the same black that Lilise had during her blood test. If Arnin saw this, he would have been extremely surprised. Elidia had a change in her orb and it would either help or destroy her future cultivation

As she slowly closed her eyes, she felt a sudden burst of aura in the air. This aura was extremely familiar to her; it was Arnin's.

The latter was sitting quietly when he finally heard a popping sound. After the pop was heard, his aura exploded forth and began to spread out. Vilis opened his eyes and looked at Arnin with happiness.

”ROAR!”

He couldn't help but roar loudly because of the comforting aura that Arnin released. It was extremely sinister. Everyone in his surroundings also felt this burst of aura, and they trembled slightly before rushing out of their own homes.

”What is that?” A young woman asked.

”I don't know, but it seems to be coming from there.” Another young man spoke and pointed towards Arnin's home.

”Is he breaking through? Why is his aura so powerful and… scary?” The young woman asked while she took a couple of steps back. All of them could hear Vilis' roars and felt the frightening aura that Arnin was releasing.

Lilise woke up when she felt the aura. She was once treated by Arnin's threads directly, so she was more sensitive towards his aura than most people. ”Sister, Arnin is breakthrough, I think. This is just like when he broke through at grandpa's house.” Lilise quickly jumped off her bed and began to get ready.

”What are you doing?” Elidia asked with some confusion.

”I am going to go and check it out. Let's go.” Lilise excitedly changed her robe and rushed through the front door. Elidia hesitated a little before gritting her teeth and following Lilise.

Xillar who was standing by and watching from the dark had his eyes wide open. In others' perspective, they would only be able to feel how sinister the aura was, but because he was on a much higher cultivation, he felt a lot more. Darkness, death and even something else was hidden inside of Arnin's aura.

”I need to go and get the principal and the others.” Xillar was about to turn around and go before he saw some figures appearing in front of him.

”We are already here. This kid is really… something.” The principal looked at the house with his deep eyes, not letting others figure out what he is thinking.

In a different place, Fae watched Arnin with brightened eyes. ”This kid is a talent. Even at such a young age and such a low realm, he is able to comprehend components? Haha, this is great!” Fae laughed with happiness when she felt the sinister aura that Arnin released.

Elidia and Lilise finally made it close to Arnin's house, but they could only stay at a distance. The aura was so oppressive that they couldn't help but tremble. Lilise had it worse, as she could faintly see a giant Demon manifesting within the aura. It looked terrifying.

On the clouds, the mysterious figure watched everything with nothing but seriousness. There was no laughter or jokes, just suppressing silence. ”What is that other essence inside of his aura? Is that… time!? The Demon Lord has found time!?” The mysterious figure got onto his feet and disappeared into the darkness.

Arnin's aura was increasing by multiple folds, while his orb was also slowly becoming larger. It began to turn darker, and small symbols appeared on the surface. The symbols gave off a eerie light, however Arnin found them to be amazing.

Suddenly, his aura retracted back into his body. It left so quickly that everyone stood in their spots, dumbfounded. ”What the heck just happened?” A kid couldn't comprehend how the aura disappeared so suddenly.

”I think that the person inside broke through?” Another kid answered him, however he still spoke with uncertainty.

Everyone watched the door with confusion. Slowly, it opened up and Arnin walked out with a deep, sinister aura lingering around him. Lilise saw Arnin walk out and was the first to run towards him.

”Arnin, did you just breakthrough?” She asked with excitement. The aura this time was much stronger than the one that appeared in her grandpa's house.

”Yeah, I am officially in the Orb Birth - Hell realm.” Arnin smiled before speaking. Although his voice wasn't loud, everyone was able to hear what he said.

”He is only in the Orb Birth Realm!? What the heck!”

”That aura was way stronger then any Orb Birth realm cultivator's! This kid is crazy!” Everyone discussed frantically. Fae watched with glittering eyes as she disappeared. The principal sighed before looking at Xillar.

”This kid will either be our greatest student or our greatest enemy. Make sure that he isn't the latter.” The principal disappeared after saying his piece. Xillar looked at Arnin with astonishment before retracting into the shadows.
