Dantian Awakening 2...

As Cablen approached, his small entourage of bullies followed him. Cablen as the son of the Chief was well known. It was not long before the eyes of the children traced his movement in the direction he was moving to. Because of his father, Cablen was practically a celebrity in the clan. He's words amongst his peers were absolute and even adults tried to curry favor with him as a means of getting to his father.

He got to Chiron, standing in front of him.

Chiron was shorter than him. This was naturally expected since Cablen was twelve while Chiron was seven.

"Huh!? What do we have here? Who allowed such trash to come into the clan square? or are you not aware that a TAMASHI is not allowed in the village?"

The moment Cablen mentioned Tamashi, the crowd gasped. Those that were close kept their distance away from Chiron and his sister.

It was true that Tamashi's were not allowed to live with the rest of the clan due to the danger that they presented. This meant that even if Chiron and his family did not already live at the edge of the clan, he was still going to be sent there.

There were previous times in the past where Tamashi's exploded in blinding spirit light, killing those around them. Tamashis were only sent to the edge of the clan to live as a safety precaution.

However, over the years, a lot of rumors about the Tamashi had been spread like wildfire. Because of the concern for safety, Tamashis had been tagged with all sorts of reasons as to why people were to stay away from them.

Even now, Chiron could still hear the whispers of many of the children, "stay away from him. I heard Tamashi's can drink your soul."

"I heard Tamashi's can make you fall sick until your legs fall off."

"Really?" One kid asked.

"Yes! it's even worse, depending on if they are hungry. My mother told me that one time, a Tamashi ate the flesh of a child, and drank his blood for three nights."

As Chiron listened to these rumors, he couldn't help but frown. Each rumor was more preposterous than the last. Even Nora by his side could not help but look at her brother weirdly.

"You see! Nobody likes you. Why don't you just run back to your dead mummy!" Cablen pushed Chiron, in an attempt to chase him out of the place.

However, Chiron's legs did not even budge an inch. With the kind of training he had been through for the last two years, his muscles were just too equipped to be moved by the laughable strength of Cablen.

Also, Nora was standing behind him, hugging his legs. Chiron really did not want any harm befalling his most precious ingredient.

Cablen tried to push again, but Chiron lightly sidestepped to the side, letting Cablen fall to the side.

Cablen immediately stood back up, feeling enraged. "You all saw it right?" he pointed at Chiron, "This Tamashi just tried to kill me right now. He wants to eat my flesh and drink my blood for three nights."

The accusation was obviously false, but then again, was there anything that ever came out of the mouth of a celebrity that was false? Even if it was, society never saw it that way.

The children backed off some more. However, Nora could not take it anymore she stepped forward, "My big brother does not kill. He is kind and loving and..."

As she talked, Cablen had already attempted his next move. He went low on the floor with his leg kicking towards Chiron's lower body. However, Nora was now in front of Chiron. Which meant that the attack was going to get the little over-supportive girl.

Chiron had no choice but to step in. He immediately pulled Nora with one hand, while kicking back Cablen's leg.

"Ahh! my leg!" Cablen felt as if he had just kicked a rock.

He rolled on the fall, grabbing his leg. He could not take the humiliation again. He pointed at Chiron, "This Tamashi is trying to kill me. Even though I'm the son of the chief, he is still trying to kill me."

Those words were the trigger that started it. On one knew who started it, but the first stone was thrown at Chiron. And then, a second, and a third. Before Chiron knew it, the children were throwing stones at him.

Chiron immediately turned. With his back facing the crowd, he hugged Nora tightly in a tortoise position on the floor. Nora hid properly within her brother's embrace in fear.

meanwhile even as the stones fell, Chiron had the corner of his eyes on a small group of children. Although they backed away from him, they did not throw stones at him. "Perfect," he muttered to himself.

A few seconds after the stone watering started, a strong wind suddenly blew. The stones stopped as a loud feminine voice was heard.

"Stop with your games children!!!"

The moment the voice was heard, everybody turned to the source of it. It came from a woman. She was a middle-aged woman with dark hair. She had on the ceremonial white gown that was attributed to elders of the clan.

The moment the children saw her, they stopped what they were doing and bowed.

She passed by Chiron, only barely sparing him a glance before kicking against the ground and landing by the side of the statue of a man holding the head of a dragon.

Other elders also made their entrances one after the other. Chiron had turned and had watched as they all gracefully landed by the side of the statue.

He had been in this world for two years now, but because of his isolation training, this was the first time he was actually seeing cultivators other than his father.

He had watched as they leaped high in the air, practically destroying the laws of gravity and landing high up on the pavilion beside the statue.

Chiron was a person from another world. As far as he was concerned, even basketballers could not make such a jump. But here, it was a naturally expected thing.

This was it. This was what he wanted. This power that came with Cultivation...
