3 Dark Star Physique

Orizo was thoroughly shocked by the presence of a dantian in his body, as far as he knew he had no knowledge of how one was even formed. Orizo only knew what a dantian was and did, from his inspection he could only assume it was a dantian.

Calming down his mind Orizo tried to go through what he did yesterday to cause such an act however too many things had happened and he was unable to find anything that might have caused a dantian to form. The food served could've been monster meat which could explain where the ki needed for a dantian to form to come from but that would not explain how it formed.

Orizo sat at the edge of the bed in thought when a knock sounded from the door followed by a quick entrance. The event broke Orizo's train of thoughts as Aaron stepped into his view.

"Oh hey you're awake, I thought I needed to wake you but since you're up lets go, breakfast is ready."

Orizo simply nodded as pushed himself off his bed again but the strength he had used was too much and lost balance as he launched himself off the bed. Orizo almost flew at Aaron as he tried to stabilize himself which only made it worse, realizing that not only had a dantian formed but the weight of his body had also increased.

When Aaron saw Orizo launch himself off the bed right into him he quickly shifted his body out of the way easily, all the while wearing a look of confusion. When thought he was about to plant his head into the wall a character appeared in front of him, killing his speed and stopping Orizo from planting his head into his torso.

"What's going on here?"

Annabelle's voice came from the open door, Orizo on the floor turned his head and saw her standing in the door way. Orizo had no idea what to say, on one hand he feared he was going to kill himself before he could control himself and wanted to ask for help and on the other hand he didn't know the ruby family well. It hadn't even been a day since he met them and he couldn't help but distrust them despite the hospitality they have shown.

"I uh..." before Orizo could form a sentence Annabelle's eyes flashed light blue.

"I didn't do this! He just launched off his bed himself I didn't do anything!" Aaron defended himself when he saw that Orizo wasn't injured.

"I know honey I won't blame you. What happened here is very interesting indeed... Orizo honey tell me, do you have a teacher or master outside?"

Orizo still on the floor blinked as he digested her question, wondering why she asked such a question. Still Orizo did not allow his thoughts to wonder too far as he quickly answered.

"Uh, no I don't have anything like that. I don't know any teachers or masters."

"What about your parents honey?"

"I don't remember them I remember being taken away long ago and brought to the slums, before that I have no memory."

Annabelle looked at Orizo for a moment before muttering under her breath, "Interesting..." Orizo felt awkward as he laid on the floor and wanted to get up. Learning his lesson Orizo slowly moved his hands afraid to exert his strength he positioned them under him and ever so slowly pushed. Orizo took his time getting up trying to get a feeling for his limbs, the strength they hid made him feel as if someone had swapped his old limbs with new ones.

Orizo finally stood up under the gaze of Annabelle and Aaron, however as he took his first step Orizo's sense of balance suddenly tanked and he started falling over. Aaron moved in and gave Orizo a hand before he fell and helped him up.

"Uh... mom why is Orizo like this?" Aaron's curiosity was evident in his voice.

"Well little Ori here has formed a dantian. It probably increased his strength too much so he's unable to control it. Hmm... bring him to the dining room we can continue to talk about this with your father, we are going to be late for breakfast."

Aaron's eyes glowed when Annabelle mentioned breakfast, "Yes! Yes, lets go eat breakfast we can talk about this after I'm starving! Do you need help to walk? I can carry you."

Orizo was about to shake his head when another character appeared under his legs, it shone a light blue light and a thin film of the blue energy covered Orizo.

"Lets go." Annabelle turned and walked away, Aaron ran up to her side while Orizo floated behind the two.

When the three entered the dinning room Jax had already been seated at the head of the long table, a few papers in his hands as he read through them. Putting down the papers Jax had a look of amusement when he saw the trio. Annabelle sat herself beside her husband as Aaron took the other side and Orizo floated to the seat beside Aaron.

Silence ruled the room after calling the servants for the food to be served, Orizo still troubled over his control. Since Orizo was looking down at the table with troubled thoughts the gazes of the three others escaped his notice, Jax looked on with amusement while Annabelle had interest in her eyes. Aaron had a flame of rivalry in him as he stared intently at Orizo.

When the food arrived Jax called for a servant to feed Orizo. Orizo gave Jax a look of gratitude and as he was fed the food Jax said, "Orizo go to the training hall after your meal."

Finishing his food Jax left first with papers in his hands, evidently busy with handling some matters. After the meal Orizo stumbled his way towards the training hall, looking like a new born calf. Entering the hall Orizo was taken by the sight and couldn't help but feel his blood boil. Excitement was in his veins but he knew he couldn't do anything with his uncontrollable strength. Orizo continued to admire the hall and the many weapons stored within when a voice came up.

"I can see you admiring this place, nice isn't it?"

"Yes, sir."

"Don't be so stiff, you can call me father."

Orizo's eyes widened like moons as he stared at Jax.

"Look kid, I'm thinking of adopting you. For now at least, you will understand in the future. Now at least you just have to understand that this family has no bad intentions towards you. I understand that you may not trust us yet, years of living in the slums can do that. Will you be my son?"

"Yes!" Orizo's answered practically flew out his mouth, his mind blank at what was happening. He instinctively thought that it was his only chance at getting stronger.

"Good. Again you don't have to understand too much right now, I will hire a tutor for you and in the future you will understand. Now... I understand that you suddenly gained a dantian overnight yes?"

"Yes..."

"Yes what?"

"Uh.. uhm... yes father."

"Haha, alright. Don't be too alarmed, it was bound to happen with your physique. Your physique is on the same level as the physiques that the gem families own."

Orizo nodded as he prepared to memorize the information.

"The seven gem families own special physique to help in their duties, the ruby family holds the Blood of the Battlefield physique. You will experience what this physique holds later when you spar with Aaron, right now you need to know that you have a equally strong physique called the Dark Star physique."

"Dark... Star...."

"Yes, a dark star. Your tutor will teach you more in depth on what it is but for now you need to know that your physique grants you immense physical strength and weight as well as offering an extremely fast ki gathering speed. There are other abilities but this is what you need to know for now, again in the future you will learn the abilities."

Jax continued with a sagely tone as he continued to lecture to Orizo.

"The dantian that you formed overnight was most likely due to a combination of your physique being unlocked and then eating food high in chakra which your physique then refined into ki and the immense pull of your physique caused the ki to form into a dantian. Honestly with your physique the dantian created should be perfectly fine. However you should know that this cannot be recreated on other people understand? Even if you have treasures that absorb ki as fast as your physique does, it does not! And I stress! Does not have the pull that your physique does. Your physique can form a smooth, dense practically perfect dantian but treasures cannot. Dantians formed by these treasures will be deformed and often thin."

Jax came to a stop after walking a loop around Orizo. Orizo's eyes had stopped following Jax after the second loop as he quietly absorbed the knowledge. Jax looked at Orizo waiting for him to digest the information, when Orizo looked up Jax then said.

"Do you understand?"

"Yes."

"Good, now we need to fix your first problem. Your control, right now you are unable to control your strength due to the sudden increase am I right?"

"Yeah"

"Ok, lets spar."

"What? Right now?"

"Yes, and use all your strength. Don't worry I can take it."

Jax stood there with confidence as he extended his fingers and gestured for Orizo to come. Understanding what Jax wanted to achieve Orizo leaned forward while keeping his balance as his instincts took over his body, looking almost like a beast before a pounce.
