'So, these are my current stats. Seems I've improved a lot. My pure physical attributes have changed a lot, almost all of them. Can't believe Bronze Rank Body would give me such a chance of growth. And I still got around twenty days.'

'If I were to improve my physical body now, it would be pointless. I can only practice martial arts or explore more about my elements and bloodlines carefully. But what should I do?' This left Johnny in confusion, he blinked his eyes and keep thinking for an hour.

'Well, let's go with bloodlines and elements. Until now, I haven't actually explored my elements and bloodlines carefully. I have only used them when they are needed and ignored them. It's exploring time.' A mysterious smile appeared on his lips, and he closes his eyes.

Suddenly, his mind sense engulfed his entire body and began to explore the tiniest details about elements and bloodlines

First, he wanted to know more about double awakening. It was shocking but every time he improves a realm, he gets two elements at once. Although he hasn't explored his Sealing Element like other elements, he can't ignore the fact he has four elements in the second realm.

So, he wanted to see what was actually allowing him to achieve these elements? And or rather, what was actually allowing him to gain double awakening? So he inserted his mind sense inside the mana space.

As usual, this space was divided into two parts with a ratio of 1:10. 1 for the inner core and 10 for the outer core. This is the big advantage for a magician and the only way to contend against the same realm martial artists.

You know, when a martial artist cultivates. He goes through a lot of injures and body tempering. Such as when one practices finger or fist techniques like Bone Crushing Fist that he had seen in Sacred Library of Fenton Family, they need to literally crush the stones and boulders with their bare fist.

And so, they break their own bones while practicing Bone Crushing Fist because their body wouldn't be ready for that. This is why many younger generations pray to awaken magic than martial arts. So going through all that body tempering let them gain enormous stamina, endurance, defense, and even offense.

This allows them to stick longer in fights and use less of their spiritual energy. So they can conserve their spiritual energy and last for a long time. On another hand, magicians need to use a lot of mana for each of their attacks.

Of course, one of his opponents that he faced up against when he was fighting for Family Competition had a lot of practice with his magic arts. So when they were fighting, the amount of mana he used was very less but the offense was very strong.

This was due to the martial arts realm. Not just for martial arts but also for magic arts, so his consumption was a lot less than a usual magician's. At that time, Johnny was ignorant thinking his talent was wasted over magic arts, but now he doesn't think so.

Magic Path and Martial Path, any path doesn't make any difference. The only point is to achieve dao whether you take a shortcut or go through hardship. Of course, for those who take shortcuts, it would definitely hard to achieve dao.

But the people like his previous opponent could make that easier with their hard work of comprehension of magic arts. Soon diving deeper, he could see the three stars in each of those threads of elements.

Stars represent the rank of their elements while a number of threads represents grade. Currently, there were only four threads with three stars in each. This means his elements were Earth Rank Grade One. This made him think when he had only two elements.

One dark thread with one star, and five purple threads with one star. That was his beginning and now he has come to this. It was quite an amazing improvement. The more he improves, the more shortcuts he can use. He needs higher level strength to use the Primal Chaos Celestial Dao Stone much more effectively and the same goes for Book of Eight Extremes and Single Chaos.

Diving deeper, he tried to find more but unfortunately couldn't succeed. He found no signs of any clues about the double awakening in the core of the mana space. Then, when he was about to take back his mind sense from the mana space, he felt that feeling once again.

This feeling was very mysterious. It was like someone was calling him. That call was coming from these stars. And it was trying to reach him. He didn't understand why but he needs to check. This feeling was wrenching his heart.

So he needed to check it, no matter the consequences. Though he had a feeling, a feeling that he doesn't want to be true. He knows he wasn't ready, he still hasn't forgiven them completely. And so, he doesn't want to face them now.

He doesn't want to show his weakness. But this might just be an illusion, which was something he kept telling himself to relieve his mind. But when he moved closer, few meters away from the stars on each thread, he knew that wasn't the illusion.

"Johnny!" A sweet melodious rang on his mind. This voice wasn't just sweet but also bursting with emotions and it was targeting his weakness. This voice made him feel a kind of suppression that he could feel against those who are very very close to him.

"Johnny!" When this voice rang again, his body shook in fear. He doesn't want to stay any longer, he doesn't have the heart to stay stronger in front of them. So he just wanted to run away, very far away from them.

"Please don't leave me!" When his mind sense was about to rush away, this voice rang again, pleading him to stop. But he didn't listen. He knew he wasn't to face them. But suddenly, the world around him changed the moment he blinked his eyes.

He wasn't shedding tears, but he was on the verge to do so. He was barely controlling himself. The moment he opened his eyes, he felt he was in an unknown space. This space was something very interesting to him.

There was nothing but white. He saw white front, back, and sides, like a square but seems to have no end. Not only that but when he looked at his own body. He found this wasn't his mind sense but his real body.

"Son, please forgive me, will you?" Suddenly, a warm body caught him from behind. The white pair of hands cuddle around his neck and let the warm voice rang in his ears. A young woman that looked around the age of nineteen or twenty appeared mysteriously behind him.

She was wearing a white Hanfu dress, like an ancient person. Her white sleeves were half, letting her hand give skin-to-skin feeling with Johnny. But at this moment, Johnny wasn't in the mood to feel it. He had something troubling him, the tears falling down his cheeks.

Wanting to stop these tears, but he was weak, or rather, his mindset was weak. This wasn't the feeling that was coming from his mind. It was his body that was making him feel this way. He had no power to control it.

"How?" A hoarse voice came out of his mouth, filled with the crying emotions, and he continued "How do you expect me to forgive you when both of you abandon your son?"

"This doesn't make sense. Why do I have to be your son? Why do you have to leave me? And how do you expect me not to forgive you?" When he said that last sentence, he fell on his knees. He knew he will forgive them, so why would he need to lie?

But even if he forgives them, it hurts him. This feeling was burning his chest, and making him cry and cry for a long time.
