Seven God, Seven Demon Statue
After Shou tries the horizontal slash, He was satisfied with the result and continued going further the mountain.
Roakh village is a small remote village, that's why citizen there are not really aware of the certain power rank. Nor they have a technique to increase it. People here live normally. Aside from Kenjo , Rensia and the Village Chief no one is aware of the power ranking. Even the guards are normal people. Roakh village never had a citizen who rose from the ranks, that's why it is picked by Kenjo to hide. It is very remote and no one ever notices it on the map.
In the future, No one has ever expected that this remote Roakh village will spawn a very important figure in the Mortal World, much less than they expected that one of the most important treasures of humankind is in its vicinity.
----
While Shou is collecting his plants, He noticed movements from the nearby tree.
"Who's there?!"
No one answered, instead a 2-meter tall monkey appeared. It is to be known, that Roakh village is so remote that even beast doesn't come in its vicinity. This monkey beast is attracted by some force here. The monkey is at Orange Mortal rank, which is 1 rank above Red Mortal. This monkey notices Shou and immediately attacks. It jumps out of the top of the tree and moves its hand on his back of its head like its preparing to execute a really strong punch.
Shou, seeing this monkey going to punch him, his instinct kicks in and the monkey turns into slow motion in his point of view and easily dodge the vigorous punch given by the monkey.
After dodging the monkey's punch, Shou doesn't linger around to wait for its next attack, he turns around and runs, his instinct is shouting for him to run or else he will not see the light of tomorrow.
When the monkey beast sees Shou runs, He pursues the boy like there is no tomorrow. The monkey beast has low intelligence and it is just driven by its animalistic instinct to attack humans in its perimeter.
The Orange Mortal Rank monkey beast is without a doubt faster than a No Rank Shou, Shou was immediately caught by the Monkey, now instead of just a punch, the Monkey executes a swiping kick followed by an arm grab in the air expecting Shou to jumps.
Shou sees the swipe kick in slow motion as well as the pending grab by the monkey. So, instead of jumping into the air he made himself like fall to his side, following the direction of the swipe kick. This makes him looks like he's been hit by the kick but in reality, he just follows the motion of the fall to dodge both the swipe kick on the bottom and the air grab on the top. His hand stopped him from falling after the kick passed by. And using his hand as a pivot, he rotates and kick the monkey on its body. This stunt does do any damage to the monkey but it gives Shou the boost he needs to jump away from the monkey.
It is to be known, Shou is just running on his survival instinct and unconsciously executing "1st level Prince Waltz".
After what happened, it confuses that monkey as he was not expecting that outcome. When he snaps back to his sense, he saw the distanced Shou, running quite far from him. But with the speed of The Orange Mortal Rank monkey, he covers the distance within 5 seconds. However, when the monkey is about to execute its next attack. He feels an aura that is both evil and good. This aura scare that shit out of him. The monkey didn't dare to approach an inch closer, instead, the monkey decided to run from this place as far as he could.
Seeing the monkey decided to give up on him, Shou sighs out of relief and feel on his bottom and eventually lies on the ground.
'I thought it's my end, I'm running out of stamina. If that monkey pursues me further, he might just kill me. But, I wondered why the attack of that monkey is so slow that it is easy to dodge, but when he is running he is so freaking fast.'
Shou thinks to himself while lying on the grass. He got no idea that the monkey was scared off by an aura and not it didn't just give up on him. Shou didn't notice or feel the aura because this aura is invisible to human, that even Kenjo can't feel its presence and it will only activate to keep beasts away.
Shou doesn't have any idea that he is about to receive one of the treasures of humankind.

After resting for a while, Shou realizes that he lost all of his collected plants and he has no idea where he is. He surveys his surroundings and he never been to this part of the mountain before. Everything is so dreamy, the plant here is so old that its value is so much (but Shou doesn't know that). The Meng energy in the surrounding is so concentrated that it will boost the power of those people who train here. (Again, Shou doesn't know that). The sky is so blue that if someone tells you that you are in a different world, you will believe it. This place got one house on the top of the hill.
'A hill on top of a mountain? More importantly, a house?'
It pokes Shou's interest.
He gets up and started to walk to the hill. To his surprise, walking in this place is like walking on water. It is so hard to move and Shou's stamina is draining by the second. But surprisingly, it's like his body is absorbing the water-like air in the surrounding.
After 20 minutes of walking, he reaches the small house on the top of the hill. The house is so simple and it only has a table at the center of it and a statue as big as a vase is on it.
The Statue got 7 being sitting on the chair in a circular form, while each one of them has a creature that they are stepping on.
Shou observes the statue because it is such a weird piece of art.
When Shou tries to touch the statue, a blinding light emerges and his body burst into 7-colored flame it is so hot that it's starting to burn his skin. He never felt this level of pain before. Only 20 seconds after experiencing such a pain, he passed out.
----
<WHAT!? That boy absorbed the "Seven God, Seven Demon Statue". How is that possible?!>
<Easy there, Grod. This artifact is mysterious but there is something all of us know, only three beings in this world who can absorb the statue in his body. One, a "Moon God" which I highly doubt the boy is one. Two, a human who possesses the "Seven God Blessed Body" or Three, a human who possesses the "Seven Demon Cursed Body". It is highly likely the second one. Because it is impossible too for the 3rd one.>
<So what does it mean for us? Are we now slaves to this boy?>
<I wouldn't say slaves, but from now on. Where this boy goes is where we are gonna be>
<Fray is correct, we are not required to follow this boy's order. I would say it's a blessing, it is better than staying in the dimension that Fray created, For thousands of explosion we are there, I'm so bored.>
<Alright now, whatever you do from now on is up to you and you will have to take responsibility for it.>
Six other figures nod to the one who speaks and afterward the seven looks toward to the other figure in the corner, He eventually nods too and the eight of them disappear with the dimension, leaving the boy lying in the mountain's forest unharmed.
End.
