Breakthrough in Nirvanic Taichi Art!

Small Success Stage!

Sora felt his strength rise even more than before.

He felt as strong as 10 olympic athletes, every strand of muscle exploding with power. It was like his entire body was replaced for a more powerful one, making his flesh tougher and stronger. The bones and organs received the same benefits, becoming stronger, tougher, and more resistant.

Now he was sure to be at the very peak of Master.

What was even more amazing, was the fact that Sora gained both Dou and Sei Ki.

Once he got a feel for it, Sora knew that it wasn't like the Ki he knew. Sure it had slight similar effects, but they were different.

If Sora had a say in it, he would think that it's more like Qi, or even Chakra.

Since Sora knew every Jutsu, he could maybe even use them with Dou and Sei Ki.

'I guess they weren't the same,' thought Sora as he rubbed his chin.

With Dou and Sei Ki, Sora would be at the lower Grandmaster level and if he gained more Dou and Sei Ki, he would be at the middle of Grandmaster level. One more breakthrough of his Nirvanic Taichi Art into the Large Success stage, Sora would be at the peak of Grandmaster.

In order to become a Legendary Master like Hayato and the rest, Sora would not only need even more strength than the Large Success Stage of his Nirvanic Taichi Art, but also immense amounts of Dou and Sei Ki and also understand the essence of martial arts.

Ring!~

Hearing his phone ring, Sora grabbed it and looked at the caller.

[Rinko]

Sora smiled and answered, "Hey."

[I'm in front of the house, I hope you have everything ready to enter your new house,] said Rinko with slight joy in her voice.

"You sound more excited about my new house than I am," chuckled Sora.

[Of course. It's a new house, and I'm excited to see how it may look,] said Rinko, trying to sound more professional.

"I'll be done in a bit. I don't have much stuff to begin with," said Sora as he grabbed a bag with some of the clothes he bought and the Kengan Match uniform.

[Did I forget to tell you that Ryozanpaku is also closer to your house, so you won't have to spend much time traveling in between the two places.]

"That's good to hear," said Sora, heading down and hanging up.

He exited the house and entered the car Rinko was in.

"Ready to head to your new house," said Rinko with a light smile.

"Yes," said Sora as he put his stuff to the side and sat in front with Rinko.

…

The ride was short, so Sora didn't have much stuff to talk with Rinko before they arrived at Sora's new house.

"This is a nice house, you did a great job choosing this house," said Sora as he looked at the house before him.

"Thank you," said Rinko as she blushed a little from receiving a compliment.

Sora smiled and opened the door to his new house.

"It's spacious, I like that," said Sora as he walked in and gestured to Rinko to accompany him in touring the house.

Sora and Rinko walked around the house and looked at every room. What Sora paid the most attention to, was his room, the kitchen, and the living room.

"This is a great house," said Sora as he walked into the living room with Rinko.

Rinko shrewdly smiled before putting her hands behind her back and bending forward, "It isn't all just yet."

"There's more?" asked Sora with slight surprise.

"There is!" said Rinko with a smile. "I called the president of Argus after I bought your house and told him that you needed to train your skills.

So… he called to have a dojo built at the back of your house. Not only that, he had some people fix up the terrain in your backyard to make it more pleasing to the eyes when you train."

Sora's eyes slightly widened at Rinko's words and walked over to the back of his house. In his backyard, Sora saw some three men inspecting the land. Two were for the dojo and the other was for the landscape of the backyard.

Smiling, Sora turned to Rinko and gave her a hug, "You really outdid yourself this time Rinko Nee-chan. If I could, I would have kissed you!"

"Ah… Uhm… No problem," mumbled Rinko as she blushed from Sora's affectionate actions.

Sora let her go and gave her a serious look, "Now we have to celebrate this. I won't accept no as an answer."

Pushing for a small party to be made between him and Rinko, Sora wanted to take the chance to get closer to Rinko.

"Sigh… alright. Let's go to the store together," sighed Rinko with a helpless smile that hid her happiness.

Sora and Rinko went to the store and bought food and drinks. Sora even made sure that liquor was bought so that he could drink some. However he couldn't pay for it without Rinko finding out.

The beer was still bought, but Rinko decided that it will only be for her.

Sora clicked his tongue and went home with Rinko, disgruntled about the fact that he can't drink.

"You shouldn't be drinking at all," said Rinko as she opened a beer can and chugged it down as Sora cooked the food.

"..." Sora remained quiet as he simply made plans of making his own beer inside his Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.

Tss…

Soon enough, all the food was complete and Sora served himself and Rinko some food.

Rinko gazed at Sora with a flushed look after drinking beer, she gave a light smirk. Her professional attitude went as she leaned on the table, "You're very handsome for a 15 year old."

"Thank you," said Sora as he sat down and got ready to eat.

"If you weren't so young and you know a thing or two about programming and digital art, I would have had a crush on you," said Rinko as she put on a 'as a matter of a fact' face.

"Who says I don't know how to do that?" asked Sora as he drank his soda with a smirk.

"You, do you really know how to do that?" asked Rinko with a surprised look on her face.

Sora nodded and said, "I do. If you don't believe me, you can convince Kayaba to allow me to help with this Sword Art Online project. I'll make it more interesting if you wish."

"..." Rinko remained quiet and drank the rest of the beer in her can before grabbing another.

Ktch!

"You will be put to do a side project before being allowed to help Argus on the main creation of Sword Art Online," said Rinko as she turned her head to the side and looked at Sora from the corner of her eyes.

Sora smiled at Rinko's words and said, "That's no problem, but if I can prove that I can program, then you will be mine."

"WH-what?" Rinko coughed as her face turned red at Sora's words. She looked at him with a weird look before looking away. 'I doubt this kid could do something like that, but just in case...'

"Fine, but besides proving to me that you can program, you have to be invited into the main group. Not only that, but you have to make the game better in at least one aspect," said Rinko, expecting Sora to refuse.

"I will get it done," said Sora with a smile as he thumped his chest with confidence.

Rinko looked at Sora surprised by his response before drinking her beer with a small smile, 'He'll only end up failing, but it's not that bad having confidence. There's no way his programming skills are as good as his martial arts.'

She looked over at the happy Sora and smiled as well as she felt it wasn't that bad to have fun like this.

"Hey Rinko, how about you come live with me," said Sora with a small smile.

"Why would I?" asked Rinko with a weird gaze.

Sora chuckled, "Because you are mine."

"But I'm not yours yet," wryly said Rinko.

"Oh, but you will be," said Sora with some arrogance behind his eyes.

"You..." Rinko blushed and just kept drinking, ignoring Sora's words.

After they finished eating and drinking, Sora carried the passed out Rinko over to the bed in his room. He removed her shoes and laid her on the bed before covering her with a blanket. Looking at Rinko for a second with a small smile, Sora left the room and headed back to the living room.

He cleaned up everything before heading into his Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal and training once again.

Nirvanic Taichi/Art!

Meditation!

Scorning Mantra!

Four Forces!

…

Sitting down in front of the pond, Sora was calmly gazing at his reflection in the water.

His Dou and Sei Ki had increased by a small amount and he gained some more understanding in the essence of martial arts. His training in the Scorning Mantra and Four Forces had been coming along nicely.

Yet, he had ended earlier than he usually did. Whether it be because he had grown extremely familiar with Nirvanic Taichi or because he had gotten faster and stronger.

Sora sighed and decided to train in seven weapons.

Sword.

Spear.

Hammer.

Dagger.

Throwing Blades

Bow.

Shield.

Since he had a lot of time remaining, he decided to train in the weapons once more. Although his experience and understanding rises the more he practices with Nirvanic Taichi, Sora decided to advance his realms in the use of the weapons.

It was all mainly to train his intent, although he can't raise it's Qi nor anything like that since he couldn't cultivate, Sora focused on his understanding over intent and the weapons.

Sora made all seven weapons out of wood and got to training.

Being already very proficient with all weapons, especially hidden weapons, Sora decided to further his realm.

He could already imbue other objects with his intent and either make them stronger or even 'transform' them. Sora could turn an ordinary branch from a tree into a sword, yet he still couldn't transform his hands or even fingers into powerful and deadly blades.

'I need more training,' Sora realized as he got to training in all seven weapons.

It was like Sora 'losing' his cultivation was a godsend for him as he found out about the essence of martial arts. He could now completely focus on the essence of martial arts and his weapons.

If Sora could completely master the weapons and martial arts to a terrifying degree, none would be his match. Besides the absurdly powerful enemies that he has yet to run into.

***

Standing in front of a boulder, Sora had his eyes closed and his hand to his side as if he was holding onto a sword.

The atmosphere between him and the boulder was calm and natural, anyone seeing this scene would believe Sora was a statue.

Under the watchful eyes of the phoenix that was perched on top of it's Chinese Parasol Tree, Sora's hand flashed in front of him. His hand moved like a blade, cutting through the boulder.

Cha!

His hand made it out of the boulder and there on the boulder, remained a foot deep blade cut. The remainder of his Will still lingered on the boulder.

Any person that approached the boulder would end up feeling suppressed by such a simple Will left behind by Sora.

Yet despite the deep cut in the boulder and the Will left behind on it, Sora smacked his lips in disappointment. He struck out with his fist at the boulder and reduced it to dust.

'Still not enough,' sighed Sora as he looked at the dust. 'The Will needs to be stronger and I need a month more of training with the weapons.'

Sora walked away, not glancing at the dust anymore.

Exiting his Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, Sora knew that he needed a bit more training in his weapon skills. Just training in the seven weapons to Sora was like if he was training with all the other weapons that he has ever used.

Being extremely familiar with all weapons, Sora knew that he could just train in just a few and it would be all the same to him.

Yet to be a bit cautious, during the many days inside his Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, Sora created a shadow clone every time he had enough Dou and Sei Ki.

He had them train in every other single weapon whilst he trained in seven and his Nirvana Taichi/Art and Scorning Mantra. Sora even went as far as to make 3 shadow clones to focus on understanding the essence of martial arts.

Finally, he made two more shadow clones for training his newly discovered Will and his Myriad Intent.

Before he left his Realm, Sora left 7 shadow clones inside his Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal and had them train in the seven weapons he had focused on.

Since only he will be kicked out of the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, Sora didn't have to worry about all the shadow clones. They would be training for as long as they can, including resting and all.
