"Huh? You are out already."
While everyone was still meditating, Ken opened his eyes. This surprised Rose, who was carefully examining every single person.
She did notice a strong Aura from Ken just a moment ago, but that Aura quickly disappeared.
So, her attention was on Ken, but she didn't expect him to come out so quickly.
"Miss, I've finished bonding with the Spirit. Can I ask you something?" Ken asked while standing up and walking towards her.
Rose nodded her head, so he asked.
"If my Spirit doesn't have any talent, can I still get stronger?"
"Hey boy, what are you talking about? I am Mighty King. I am the greatest there is. I am the strongest Astral Being. I have mastered all five elements and learned all four Concepts."
"There is nothing that I don't know. There is nothing I can't do. Boy, do you have some kind of hatred against me?"
At this moment, Ken replied in his mind.
'Yes, I hate you. I want to have nothing to do with you. But since you forcefully tried to become my Bond, I will use nothing except your ability to attract Natural Energy.'
Suddenly, the Mighty King paused for a moment and asked.
"Is it because of your mother? What she did was stupid. Why are you blaming me for that?"
'Don't call her stupid, you bastard. That's my mother. What she did is out of her love as a mother. You were the one who forced my parents into this situation.'
There was a long silence inside his mind, but Rose had already spoken.
"Yes, of course! Although it will be hard, you can master all five elements with proper training and talent. Both are required. As for Four Concepts, that's hard."
"Unless you are lucky enough to encounter one of the four concepts in material form, you might never be able to comprehend them without a proper talent inherited from your Astral Being."
"But I am curious about your Astral Being. Just a few seconds ago, I sensed a strong energy. It confused me. Because whenever a bond is formed, only child Astral Beings are allowed."
"And, a child Astral Being shouldn't be strong enough to release any kind of Aura outside your body. But just now…."
At this moment, Ken interrupted.
"Miss, my Astral Being is a bit unique. It made my Spiritual Planet extremely big, but except for that, nothing else happened."
Rose thought for a moment and nodded. She could sense a large amount of Natural Energy gathering around Ken.
This was thanks to the natural attraction from Spiritual Planet.
"Maybe it's because you came out too early. You can go in and check the changes in your Spiritual Planet."
"If you have a talent for a certain element, that element will appear in your Spiritual Planet, near your Astral Being."
"I checked it, Miss. You should know that only less than a second passes outside compared to several minutes inside."
Ken replied.
"Yes, you can call that the Inner World. That is much easier to explain your Spiritual Planet. The reason why it is called Spiritual Planet in the first place is due to its powerful gravity."
"Otherwise, most people would simply call it Inner World."
Rose explained.
"Yes, Miss!"
Just when they were conversing, others had woken up as well.
At this moment, the voice of Mighty King rang in his head once more.
"Boy, everything I did was for my curiosity. I don't care much about your parents, but you are different, boy."
"You have no idea just how special you are. You will never have a simple life that your parents want you to have."
'It has nothing to do with what my parents want. My hatred for you exists because you forcefully tried to become an Astral Being. Your actions made my parents scared.'
'They tried their best to remove you from my body, but they couldn't do it. I know this very well. So, I don't want anything from you. You and I have a grudge.'
'Listen, this is the last time I am gonna say things. I am not some kind of hero who will use the power of darkness or evil to fight good. I will never use your power.'
'I can say this because if I die, you will die with me. So, if I am ever in a difficult situation, you will save me. But, I will earn my strength through my training and talent.'
'It will have nothing to do with you.'
"No, no, no, the moment we bond, you will slowly get my strength. You will slowly get my talent. You can not change this." Mighty King's voice was full of sarcasm.
'Yes, I can not change that, but I can change when. I can get stronger faster than your talent will reach me.'
At this moment, the Mighty King remained silent for a few minutes.
Ken also watched a few others waking up from their meditation and talking to Rose about their Astral Beings.
"Then, give it a try, boy. As I said before, you are special. So special that you are the only one in the universe with that specialty. Dangers and problems will chase you faster than you can grow."
"When it comes to that, you will need me and my strength. And, you are wrong about one thing. Boy, you have no idea just how great I am. I am the Greatest there is."
"Even if you die, I will not die. I can erase your so-called bond whenever I want. So, you can hate me as much as you want. But when you start to lose everyone around you, you will come begging for strength."
'It won't happen.'
No matter what he said, even though it was quite surprising, it didn't change Ken's attitude.
A long time ago, he hated himself for hurting his mother. But as he grew up, he realized that it wasn't he who hurt her.
His mother simply did what she could to keep him safe.
Mighty King was one of the most hated people in the universe. His news had even reached Earth.
Because of his nefarious acts, like doing evil experiments on an entire planet or civilization, stealing from powerful people, and killing billions, if not trillions, just for fun.
Nobody understood him, nor could they try.
More importantly, he was so strong that nobody could defeat him in a one-on-one battle.
So, several top-tier powerhouses from the Universe worked together to seal him. Simply because they couldn't kill him.
So, Ken and his family believed that Mighty King was forming a bond with Ken because he wanted to escape from the seal.
But now, it seemed that was not the case.
'There must be a hidden secret behind his action. As he said before, something about me interests him, but I am not sure what that is. I don't know, but I need to know.'
'Otherwise, my life will be hanging by a thread by every single. If I make him angry and if he has a way to escape death after breaking the bond, then he has a simple way to kill me.'
'Anyway, right now, he doesn't want to kill me. I should do my best to improve my strength and find an escape route in case he does anything to my body.'
Ken thought to himself before walking out of the room with others. Since everyone had formed their bones, Rose was going to take them back to the classroom.
"Now that everyone has awakened, today's class will end here. Cultivation is a different subject from other subjects."
"Most of the things involved with cultivation require your effort to figure it out. But for most people, that can be hard. One of the examples is comprehending elements."
"How do you comprehend fire? How do you comprehend water? These are just a few examples that require your effort and talent. If you don't have one of the two, you can rely on something else."
"It is called 'Resource'. This is something that humans have been inspired by centuries-old texts and novels to create something that can enhance one's cultivation speed."
"Through the use of resources, one could achieve the same result in half the time as those without resources. The most common example of the resources is Pills."
"Fire Spirit Pill, Water Spirit Pill are the resources that can help one speed up their comprehension. By triggering both mind and soul at the same time."
"So even if you don't have specific talent on elements, you don't have to worry. Just work hard and try to earn as many resources as you can."
"That's all I need to say. See you tomorrow!"
After she said that, she left the classroom.
The students were now confused. They didn't know whether to leave the classroom and go back home or stay in the class and talk about cultivation.
"How about we cultivate together?"
