Rebirth In Against The Gods With The Ultimate System 108 Chapter 108: Bending Arts

Inside the utter darkness and the absolute quiet, the dark covers the area like a plague without leaving any lights pierce through it. The animals living in caves, walk softly or crawl inside the endless galleries created by the cracks of the subsoil seeking for the scant food and a mate to couple. This is the place where the underworld meets the earthly world. In the vast darkness of the cave suddenly…

Sparks of electricity suddenly spark somewhere in the middle of the cave forming into a giant dark blue bubble. The bubble slowly getting larger and larger until it filled almost the entire cave before slowly dissipating into a cloud of white smoke. The one emerge from the smoke was something out of the ordinary, that is large red humanoid dragon. In its arms, two females holding onto its arms came with it as well. The long red hair female with a short red kimono was none other than Jasmine while the short black hair with a black kimono was Mio, Yun Che's new companion as well as summoned beast.

As for man himself, he's currently the one holding them after transforming into a red fire attribute dragon back in the realm. Right now, all three of them are back to the real world concluding their adventures in the trial realm.

The cloud of smoke dissipates in the air leaving behind the three of them. The humanoid dragon or Yun Che let the two women down before channeling his power into his blade horn. It slowly glows with golden light illuminating the area from where they came from and all three of them noticed they are back in the cave of the Azure Dragon. He formed a ball of golden ball of light that slowly formed using his golden bladed horn. As the ball of light illuminates the area, this zone was quite unfamiliar to either Yun Che or Jasmine as they were teleported into the realm the moment they hit the barrier. Looks like this large chasm is the end of the cave itself.

The cloud of smoke floats in the air before forming a silhouette of a dragon looking at Mio, Jasmine and the humanoid dragon Yun Che. "Looks like this is where we will part ways….. This dragon can only say this.. Whatever happens from now on… live well."

As it says it's final word, the Azure Dragon white smoke silhouette disappears into thin air. Yun Che as a s.h.i.+nigami himself could feel its soul was already making its way to the afterlife. He immediately kneel down one leg even as a humanoid dragon before saying "We will."

"Even as a soul, it finally pa.s.sed on leaving behind an heir that would accomplish what it failed." Jasmine slowly said accompanied by a nod from Mio and Yun Che. As for Mio, she held her hand praying for the safe pa.s.sage of the Azure Dragon. She had forgiven it as the dragon had brought her to Yun Che. She's going to live her life to the fullest this time.

"Looks like we're back to real world." Yun Che said breaking the awkward atmosphere.

"Hai, Dannsama. It's been a while since I felt and able to breath the air of the real world." said Mio while rearranging her black kimono ouch more. She didn't remember last time she breath the air of the real world.

Yun Che looked at his dragon body and said "Well, we're technically in a cave though and the entrance is not large enough for me to go through. Looks like I have to wait until my transformation is done."

Suddenly, his illuminating golden horn suddenly pulsing just like a beacon earning the attention of both Mio and Jasmine. Both of them turned their head towards him, what they noticed his body was slowly glowing as well.

"What now?" Jasmine said next to him.

Yun Che was about to say something but a notification suddenly pops in front of him.

[Ding... Host's ten minutes Pyrus Leonidas transformation is up. Reverting back to host's human form.

Cooldown: 24.00.00]

His body slowly glows brightly and started to illuminate the cave. Jasmine and Mio started to find a nearby rock to s.h.i.+eld themselves from the glowing lights. The lights illuminate the entire cave and covers Yun Che in one go. This big ball of light slowly getting smaller and smaller before forming his body shape as it crumbles leaving behind his handsome 'Sasuke' look once more.

"d.a.m.n, that's one awesome ten minutes. Even if it's one a day skill, I still need to be wary on where I use it or else who knows what happen?" Yun Che was back to his former self. However, he was pondering as he unaware of his current situstion.

"You're turning back. Is it ten minutes already? I was hoping that...." Jasmine stopped her words when she saw Yun Che. Looks like he didn't notice all his clothes were ripped apart from before and started walking towards them casually like nothing happened. What she saw first was his…..

"KYYYAAAHHH!!!!! YOU PERVERT!!!!" Jasmine shouted at top of her lungs while s.h.i.+elding her eyes from view.

"Ara…ara.. Dannsama." Mio said while holding her right hand on her mouth while looking at his glorious unclothed body. But his lower area was mysteriously covered with a white cloud of smoke from his transformation just now. Hindering her the view of his family jewels.

"Oi..oi.. what's wrong? It's not like… HOLY s.h.i.+T!!! WHERE ARE ALL MY CLOTHES!?!?" Yun Che looked down before pulling a towel from his inventory and immediately covered his lower area.

"Whatever it is, put some clothes on !!!!" Jasmine shouted immediately while dragging Mio to a nearby rock and cover her eyes as well.

"Mou, Jasmine-san. I want to look at it. I didn't see it clearly just now." Mio was struggling to get Jasmine's hands from her eyes. This is her chance for her to see it.

"What do you mean 'it'?" However, Jasmine's face went red once she thought about what Mio actually meant.

As for Yun Che, he immediately calmed down as the towel covers his groin area. He suddenly asked "System, what happened to all my clothes?"

[Ding… When host transformed into dragon for the first time before, any clothing will instantly rip apart. However, system had made adjustment to remove all clothing from the host's body the moment host's triggered the transformation and restored them once the host reverts back.]

"So that's what happened? I was about to do the same but you beat me to it. Thanks system. Looks like I have to purchase the Quincy outfit again. d.a.m.n it and that thing is expensive." He immediately went into the system shop before purchasing the same Quincy outfit from before. He immediately equips it and in a flash, his body's clothing was restored back to his previous state.

"System, can I get a refund for ripping off my clothes?"

[No..]

"Man...that was direct... Well at least I tried." He sighs again before looking at his own outfit once more. Then, he slowly walked towards the rock where Jasmine was hiding the eager Mio.

"You can look now Jasmine. I am not walking around with my sword hanging in the air." After he said that, Jasmine came from behind the rock looking as red as a tomato while Mio on the other hand looked disappointed for some reason.

"What do you mean 'your sword'? Next time if you need to transform back into a human, at least warn us." Jasmine said while pulling Mio by her hand from behind the rock.

Yun Che snickers and said "Say someone who shouted upon seeing my glorious body. If you want, I can show you anytime."

"YOU LECHER!!! There's no way I want to see your disgusting body." She countered while hiding a big blush on her face.

Mio suddenly jumped in front of him and directly said while she looked at him with glittering eyes."Dannsama, I want to see it up close."

"Don't you DARE!!!" Jasmine shouted to Mio and she immediately closed her ears. Yun Che simply laugh at these girls antics. There's no way he was willing to go around naked but different story when it comes to his wife or wives later on.

Seeing the girls finally calmed down, he explained the whole missing clothes situation to them. "Don't worry, it's a small glitch or bug. The system just fixed it."

"Glitch? /Bug?" Mio and Jasmine jinxed with each other.

"It's nothing. You don't have to worry about me running around naked after turning into a dragon." He grinned at her indicating that he was still teasing her about his situation just now.

With a still reddening face, she dismissed him and said "Hmph, anyway. We should get outside soon. So Mio, you wanted to follow this rascal or followed me to the inner world?"

"Inner world?" Mio wondered.

Seeing her reaction, Jasmine smacked her forehead and said "Ah, I forgot. The world this idiot created for his Zanpakuto spirits. You can say his own personal world. You should come with me so I can introduce you to them."

"Dannsama's personal world? What kind of world is it?" Mio wondered.

"Why don't you come in and find out?" Yun Che offered.

"But....." Mio hesitates as she remembered her times in the trial dimension. She had enough times in the empty trial world. If its the same as before then there's no meaning to it.

Yun Che understood her situation and pat her on the head affectionately. "Don't worry, it won't be like the trial dimension. This world is created by me so my spirits as well companions can live in there peacefully. Besides, each Zanpakuto spirit has their own realm as well. Why don't you explore that world first and settle yourself down." He understood her as she was still keen on exploring the real world. She was trapped for thousands of years and lost her true G.o.d powers because of it. If course she didn't want it to happened again.

"Hnnn, I trust you, Dannsama. Promise me that we will explore the outside world together." She looked at him with hopeful eyes.

"Yeah, I want to introduce you to my other s.h.i.+nigami companions as well. Trust me, you'll like them. Currently, they're outside the cave." Yun Che smiled at her.

"*giggle..I'll look forward to meeting them, Dannsama." Mio smiled brightly.

"Then, should we go? I really needed to take a dip in that hot spring after all that." Jasmine suddenly interjects.

"Dannsama?" Mio looked at him awaiting his decision.

Yun Che simply nodded and said "You should go with her…. Once you're done, Jasmine can teach you how to travel between the real world and the inner world. The girls in there might be rowdy bunch but I am sure you can get along just fine."

Hearing his decision, Mio nodded before bowing to him. "Then, I'll come with Jasmine-san. Once I am done, I want to explore the outside world with you. Dannsama." With that, Yun Che nodded before patting her head affectionately. Jasmine grab hold Mio's hand and both of them turned into a streak of light entering Yun Che's forehead, sending themselves into the inner world. Leaving Yun Che all alone in the light illuminating cave.

"Now then, those three must be worried. I don't know how long I was absent. I felt like I am in the trial world for a long time." Yun Che pull the floating ball of light to him before forming it into a smaller version. He started to walk along the tunnel of the cave back to where he come from. Looks like the barrier before blocked the entrance into this ma.s.sive cave. With the trial dimension crumbled, the barrier was no longer blocking the entrance and he could walk through it freely. He wondered how much experience he gained in the trial world just now. As for how many stacks he gained, he rather let the experience sink itself once he travelled to the illusory demon realm. The feeling leveling up at that time would be estatic.

At first he wanted to travel there instantly to unlock the level 70 cap and ascent to level 71 but now that he gained another trump card. Looks like he can take his time. He decided to explore the wonder of the Evil G.o.d Seed of Fire. When he unlocked the dragon form, he can see various data uploaded by the system into his dragon form. The seed wasn't actually functioning as an elemental immunity or a free ticket for him to cultivate any fire arts. It was a medium to allow him to manipulate the element itself and thus transforming it into various. However, he wasn't looking forward to cultivate the arts of this world.

Seeing this possibility, he slowly thought "Manipulation, wait…so that means I can learn that?" Yun Che wasn't referring to anything. He was referring to elemental arts from one of his childhood memories. He was actually referring to Bending Arts.

Bending arts was the form of elemental modification and manipulation from one of the cartoon shows back in his world. Even he grown from a rough childhood, he still had the time to experience it back then. Back to the story, bending arts allow the practioner to shoot off elemental techniques depending on the situation. He didn't need to learn the name and shout it out to look cool. If he can bend them, it would add another attack on his a.r.s.enal.

"System, it is possible for me to cultivate those bending arts?"

[Ding…Scanning the host's memory. It's possible but host lacked the other seeds so the only mastery host can use is the fire bending.]

"Then, scan the fire bending arts based on that art and relay them to me."

[Ding… System can scan the host's memories and formulate a new compendium of bending arts. With 5000SP, the system can gather the data from host's memories before forming a new compendium. However, this compendium is limited to the arts from the memories itself. System has detected a new empowered form called the 'Avatar' state where it used the memories of previous avatars to fight and gain advantage. However, in this world. Avatar is a non-existent being so the system will remove this feature. ]

Pondering for a while, he nodded in understanding "It's all I need. Whatever you need. Just do it." He had enough forms for now. Besides, he had his dragon form. Imagone has the ability of bending using the dragon form. "d.a.m.n, thinking about it makes me excited."

[Ding…. Scanning host's memories. Found two memories ent.i.tled 'Avatar, the last Air bender' and 'Avatar, Legend of Korra'.

Initiate scanning mode.

Deducting System Points as payment.

Estimated automated a.s.sembly.

Estimated compendium completion time is one month.]

"One month, that long?"

[System had to scan the host's memories on the episodes themselves before decoding them manually. The process will take longer than antic.i.p.ated.]

"Then, do whatever it takes. One month isn't that long." Yun Che nodded before closing the interface. Right now, he actually lacks the control methods for the elemental seed. He obtained the flames of the phoenix but it is only limited to the fifth and sixth art and he had nothing else. Even his kido only had Adamantine Blast as fire strike. So what's the point of having a free ticket to manipulate the elements if you don't use it?

That's where bending comes from. If he can learn bending arts, he can manipulate the elements at the same time using his Zanpakuto without learning too many fire arts. Bending arts are universal, he didn't need to learn so much techniques or jutsu. He could just randomly toss any bending techniques depend on the situation as he started bending the elements. Imagine using fire bending while using Tensa Zangetsu. The possibilities are endless. Simply infusing them with flames is common. He wanted to be able to manipulate them at well such as turning a simple fire into a devastating blast. Imagine what he can do with Phoenix Flames? Golden Crow Flames? Or even Yun Che's original Frost flames?

"System, is it possible for me to learn bending arts?" He slowly said while making his way out of the cave. Bending arts aren't free after all. From his memories of 'avatar', it required the pract.i.tioner to possessed elemental chakra. However, in this world, chakras are non-existent but profound energy had a unique affinity with them.

[Ding… Currently, host possessed haki and the Evil G.o.d Seed of Fire. Once host managed to learn bending arts. It required haki as a base to channel the bending into the real world by using it as a medium and transform the host's spirit force into elemental energy since host did not possessed any elemental chakra. Host's fire seed act as the elemental affinity to the host thus enabling you to use fire bending.]

Nodding in understanding, he said "So, anyone can learn it as long as they possessed haki?"

[Ding… Host must learn energy bending before using the system's interface to awaken the bending of a person. Energy bending has the ability to awaken or sealed other people's bending ability. It must depend on the person's elemental affinity as well. However, host is right about the pract.i.tioner must possessed haki in order to successfully cultivate bending.]

He gave it a thought for a while before saying "Currently, the only haki pract.i.tioner in this world is me, Retsu, Kon, Cang Yue and Little Fairy. d.a.m.n, I can't learn the other bendings yet until I found the correct seed. If I do, the possibilities are endless. One month from now, I should be able to learn how to bend elemental, beats stuck with the same elemental techniques over and over again. Although it is limited to fire. But it'll do." When he obtained them later on, he will learn the arts before the upcoming tournament.

Then, he continued "But not right now, those two ladies are waiting for me." He slowly said as he makes his way to the surface.
