64 Hybrid

Akig finally stopped vomiting and came into the house. He started to look around and was extremely surprised. The house was a lot bigger than the one in the Moth residential area. "Hey Arnin, which room is mine?" He looked and asked.

Arnin pointed to the room next door. "Take this one. This will be your room for now." Akig nodded his head, and walked into the room. The first thing he did was jump onto the large bed.

*BOOM*

"What happened!?" Arnin hurriedly came into Akig's room and the sight dumbfounded him. The large bed that should have been pretty sturdy collapsed from the middle as Akig was right in the center of the wreckage. His face carried a weak smile as he embarrassingly got up and scratched his head.

"This bed was a little weak. Hehe." Akig spoke awkwardly, however, Arnin then began to ponder something. He decided to ignore what happened and walked into the living room. He sat on the ground since there was no furniture.

'Alright, it seems like Akig's weight is abnormal. This is probably because of him having the bloodline of a beast inside of him, making him heavier than normal people.' Arnin nodded his head and took out a small booklet. He grabbed a pen from his room and began to walk towards the exit.

"Akig, follow me. We will begin your training now." Arnin smiled and walked out. Akig was astonished before he became somewhat pale.

"But, I haven't eaten yet…" Just as he was going to say more, he saw Arnin glare at him.

"Forget about food for now. You can eat soon." Arnin had a wicked smile when he mentioned food, however, Akig was unable to catch the intent and only thought of it as a normal smile.

Both of the boys stepped out of the house and Arnin walked towards the forest. "Why are we going into the forest?" Akig questioned Arnin, however, he didn't receive an answer. He looked slightly to his left and saw that there was a strong smile on Arnin's face and he couldn't help but shiver a little.

Although he was still very young, he was somewhat able to sense something bad, and he felt that Arnin's current smile was a little evil. 'What is Arnin going to do?'

They walked for about half an hour before finally entering deep into the forest. Even though the trees were not super plenty, the forest was extremely dark. It was as if it was night time. Akig looked around with a bit of fear as he trembled.

"Arnin, what are we doing here? Why can't we train back at the house?" He continued to question Arnin, however, Arnin didn't answer him and stopped suddenly.

Arnin looked around and smirked. He closed his eyes and began to inspect and see if there was enough essence in the area. After confirming that the essence was abundant, Arnin opened his eyes and looked at Akig. His face was no longer smiling and was somewhat serious.

"W-what is it? Why are you looking at me like that?" Akig took a couple steps back as he felt somewhat frightened by Arnin.

"Akig, let me ask you a question. What kind of place was your village?" Arnin suddenly began to ask about his village with confused Akig. "Just answer my questions!" Arnin said deeply.

"A-alright. Well, my village was a large place with lots of people. We were near a small forest, however, the forest didn't have any demonic beasts. Everyone was very nice and it was a happy place." Arnin nodded when he heard this.

"Have you ever been in a place like this? Have you ever adventured alone in dangerous areas?" Arnin asked another question.

"Never. My parents would never let me enter anywhere dangerous. This is my first time in such an area." Akig said without any hesitation.

"Alright then. We will begin your training in a bit. First, let me do some tests on you." Akig reluctantly agreed. Arnin walked over and began to write down things like Akig's height, weight, waist, etc. As he had done tests like these hundreds of millions of times, Arnin was able to calculate all of the information with just a touch or look.

Arnin wrote all the information down in the booklet. Suddenly. He walked in front of a tree and punch it three times. The first punch was much weaker than the second, which was weaker than the third.

Arnin looked at the three holes he made and noted something down on the booklet. "As you can see, I have made three holes in the tree. The first hole is is the size a normal Orb Birth - Earth cultivator could make. The second hole is for a normal Orb Birth - Sky cultivator, while the last one is of a normal Orb Birth - Hell cultivator." Arnin said and Akig nodded his head with some confusion. He understood what the holes represented after Arnin's explanation, but what he didn't understand was why Arnin punched the tree to make the holes.

"Umm, why did you punch the tree?" Arnin nodded his head with the question and walked over to another tree that was similar to the one he punched.

"Well, those holes represent the basic strengths of the different cultivation realms. What I want you to do and punch this tree as hard as you can. Use all of the strength that you have, don't hold back anything." Arnin said with some serious. Akig was still a little confused, but he did just as Arnin said.

He used all of his force to punch the tree. His fist landed on the tree and a small hole appeared. "Arnin looked at the hole and nodded his head.

"Akig, again," Arnin said. Akig felt a small amount of pain in his fist, but it was bearable. Arnin noticed that Akig didn't feel too much pain and wrote something down on the page.

A minute passed and Arnin had Akig punch five times in total. He found that all of the holes were the same size and so he wrote it down on the page.

"So, if you look at the five holes you made and compare them to the ones I made, which level of strength would you say you are at?" Arnin asked Akig. The later looked at his own holes and looked at the ones Arnin made. He closed his eyes and began to think. Arnin didn't disturb and waited for him to think.

"Well, my holes seem to be slightly bigger than the Orb Birth - Earth hole. Which should mean my strength is around Orb Birth - Earth, but why is this important?" Akig answered arnin's question, but also asked his own.

"You will know in a bit. Now, I am going to move a few meters back, and I want you to run towards me as fast as you can." Akig nodded his head and waited for Arnin to give him the signal. Arnin moved around ten meters away from his spot and gestured Akig to run towards to him. When Akig got to him around three seconds later, Arnin scribbled something onto the booklet. He then looked at Akig.

"Wait here. I will be back in a second." Arnin suddenly vanished, leaving Akig alone. Akig looked around worriedly as he felt some apprehension towards the surrounding.

A few minutes passed and Akig began to panic. Arni hadn't returned and he was still alone in the forest. Plus, he was also feeling extremely hungry.

*Rustle Rustle*

Akig quickly turned around and tried to search for the sound. Fear was quietly building up, but then his nose began to twitch. He smelled something, something good.

*Sniff Sniff*

It was the smell of blood. Normally, Akig would have been frightened, however this time he had a completely different reaction. The smell made his blood boil and also began to increase his heartbeat. His eyes dilated and he began to move closer to the smell. Akig's kept twitching as he continued to sniff. Not only that but the closer he got the more he breathed and it even got to the point where his mouth opened up and some drool began to escape.

*Rustle Rustle*

Suddenly, something rushed from the bushes. Akig tried to follow the sight with the best of his abilities. He used his nose to sniff out the bloody smell and when he turned around, here was nothing.

*Drip Drip*

The sound attracted Akig and so he looked up. His eyes suddenly became heated as his breathing quickened even more. On top of a tree was a dead rabbit that was soaked in blood. It was very high up and Akig tried to jump for it, however, he was unable to reach it.

Akig stopped for a second before walking right in front of the tree trunk. With his fist raised, he launched an attack straight at the tree.

*BOOM*

His fist penetrated the tree, however, the tree didn't collapse. Akig punched three more times before the tree finally began to fall. Akig watched the rabbit intently and when he saw it fall towards the ground, his body vanished and appeared right next to the rabbit. He quickly grabbed the rabbit and threw it into his mouth.

*Crunch Crunch*

The sounds of bones being chewed resounded in the forest. Akig devoured the rabbit as if his life depended on it. His eating style was more like beasts, rather than humans.

*Ssss*

The sound of sucking was heard from Akig. he sucked the blood from the rabbit and drank it like water.

*Rustle Rustle*

"Grrr!" Akig became to lightly growl at the sound. His eyes were bloodthirsty, however, when he saw a figure come from the bush, he dropped the rabbit.

"Well done Akig." The figure was none other then Arnin. He looked at Akig with a smile as he slowly approached.

Akig looked at the surroundings and saw a half eaten rabbit on his lap. "AH!" He quickly jumped away and looked at the scene with some fear. "Arnin, w-what happened?" There were some tears in his eyes as he looked at Arnin for some answers.

Arnin smiled and walked over to the dead rabbit. He lifted it and inspected its condition. He nodded his head and began to write something in his booklet with bloodied fingers.

"A-Arnin?" Akig looked at Arnin with tears. He couldn't help but call out once again. Arnin looked over and saw that Akig was trembling with fear. He snorted before sitting down onto the grass.

"Let me ask you a question Akig. Do you remember anything that happened after I left?" Arnin looked at Akig with a serious face.

"I don't know. All I remember was hearing a sound and smelling something before everything went dark." He explained with fright. Akig looked around with caution and even backed away from Arnin a little.

"Well, let me explain what happened. Do you see this tree that collapsed?" Akig nodded his head, however, his body continued to tremble. "You did this." Arnin's words were like drums bangning near his ears.

"I-I did this? No way! You saw that my five punches could barely make holes in the tree." Akig denied the claim right away. He knew his own strenght and felt that it was impossible for him to do such a thing.

"Whether you believe it or not doesn't matter. It was your doing and that is an undeniable fact. You want to know something else?" Arnin looked at Akg, however, the latter stood frozen in his spot. "You were able to cover five meters in a blink of an eye. Not only that, but you were in the air for a but too. But it all happened in a blink of an eye." Arnin explained as he slowly got up. He lifted the rabbit and threw it towards Akig, who immediately took a couple steps back in fright.

"This rabbit use to be a whole animal. You damaged it to this extent by trying to eat it." Arnin's words continued to rampage inside Akig's head.

'How is it possible? I am not this strong or fast. I don't even eat raw animals, and when I do eat something I never make such terrifying marks.' Akig was in his own thoughts as he was despairing.

"Akig, let me tell you why you did all of this and how. Remember when you told me about a rumor that one of your ancestors mated with a tiger beast?" Akig nodded his head, however, his eyes were extremely unfocused. "Well, that rumor is actually true."

Akig looked up and stared at Arnin with confusion and shock. "What do you mean? There is no way that is true. Humans can't mate with beasts." Mating and talks about such things were very common. Most children would already understand some things about it. Akig also knew some things about mating and also knew that humans could only mate with humans.

"That isn't true. Anybody can mate with one another. Plus, a beast is able to become humanly at a certain cultivation realm." Arnin slowly explained and Akig began to pay attention more.

"Even if this is the case, what does this have to do with me?" Akig asked with impatience. He was frightened by the things he did, but what frightened him more was that he didn't even remember anything.

"It has everything to do with you. When a human mates with a different race, there is a high chance that the offspring will die or there wouldn't even be an offspring, but that there is another possibility." Arnin looked at Akig and had a dee smile.

"What? What is the other possibility?" Akig was becoming frantic. Arnin couldn't help but shake his head when Akig wasn't able to figure it out with so many hints.

"The last possibility is a Hybrid being born." Arnin started with a calm expression.

"Hybrid? What's that?" Akig was somewhat confused since he wasn't able to understand the term Hybrid.

"It's when a child is born that has characteristics of both parents. That child will be half of each of the parent's race, just like you." When Arnin said this, Akig took a couple steps back before falling onto the ground. His face began to warp as he looked at Arnin with fearful confusion.

"N-now way. I am a human, fully human. I am not a hybrid!" Akig got up and quickly ran from the scene.

"Childish!" Arnin snorted before vanishing from his spot. He reappeared in front of Akig. He held the rabbit that he threw towards Akig in his hand. "Stop acting like a brat!" Arnin raised his voice before quickly shoving the rabbit into Akig's mouth.

Tears fell from Akig's eyes as Arnin forcefully fed him the rabbit. What made him even more fearful and sorrowful was that he somewhat enjoyed the taste.
