In the end, Aiden made up his mind and focused all his efforts as well as remaining time on improving his offensive capabilities.

As he ended his longest meditation session for quite some time he sighed with relief. He couldn't help but feel proud and satisfied as he glanced over at his System's Status Screen. His gains were quite substantial this time around, with him gaining multiple great benefits.

His details looked as follows:

Interestingly, the bloodlines he had awakened while reaching the first major milestone, the first checkpoint in his two physical-oriented attributes were showcased on the main page rather than on the skills section. Though this is somewhat understandable, it still came as a rather welcome surprise to Aiden.

After acknowledging the first screen, he shifted his attention to the changes of his second page, to the skills tab.

Though he ultimately failed to reach the perfected state with his innate [Mystic Martial Arts] skill despite focusing all of his attention in the last one and a half day and night of focused cultivation, Aiden was still satisfied with the results.

Though it was shown as level 9, the skill was just before its breakthrough. He only needed just a bit more push, more focus on it and it would have reached into its perfected, completed state and be ready for a potential skill evolution.

He also gained a lot of new insight into the intricacies and deeper meaning of how the technique worked at its core. His ability to infuse his resource, his [Soul Power] into each of his strikes, his swings, kicks, and thrusts have reached an entirely different realm. What before, took him some conscious effort and energy, would now almost be a passive ability.

With Soul Power constantly coursing inside his body, enriching his physique with each completed cycle, Aiden no longer needed to deliberately focus his will to empower his attacks. Every attack, every offensive and even defensive reaction Aiden would now take would automatically use his ever-growing resource pool of [Soul Power], elevating his combat power to the top of what would be normally capable of not just this normally rather fragile species, but most likely any other.

With his strength and speed already at the peak of what most mortals would normally accept, Aiden's combat power now reached a truly terrifying level.

Aiden also felt that whilst he failed to reach the breakthrough, with a bit more hands-on experience, his [Mystic Martial Arts] could actually reach the perfected state without him spending any more points on it.

In any case, his newly upgraded innate skill combined together with his newly evolved Lesser Magic Immunity to the Dark school of magic which would most likely be the main repertoire of the church's priesthood as well as his gargantuan attribute points were nothing to scoff at.

Even before processing all these gains and starting his three day closed door meditation session, Aiden had a rather large chance of overcoming the upcoming storm. Now, however, Aiden felt that even if the entire army of priests, bishops, and archbishops led by none other than the High Priest would come knocking at his door, he could send them packing with relative ease.historical

Though he could not be sure of exactly what power the fabled High Priest held, or what secret cards he kept for the worst-case scenarios, Aiden still felt rather confident. Worst case scenario he still had a trump card of his own, that whilst would cause him a severe backlash and would be rather kept for his inevitable clash with the Ancient One, later on, he could still use the last charge of the [Blessing of Ioris] he had been gifted upon his transmigration. He still hasn't used the last charge as after knowing what the skill was truly capable of, he didn't want to squander it and felt that it was his best trump card in the most dire of situations.

After processing all his gains, Aiden was ready to leave. Just as he was about to close down the system's screen and stand up, Enya's voice came ringing inside his mind in the next moment.

'[Aiden, before you return to reality and leave the room, you might want to check one more section. You may be pleasantly surprised..]' She teased with a mischievous tone.

'Hmm?'

Not sure what she could have possibly meant, Aiden clicked on the third tab under the Status section, only to turn silent with shock the next moment.

*Ancient Language - Demonic : Current Progress: 1%]

'Huh?! Demonic Language? When did I..' Aiden was shocked to see the very last row suddenly pop up seemingly out of absolutely nowhere. Though its progress was nearly non-existent with that 1%, what it represented was incredible.

Aiden was confused and couldn't remember as to where exactly did he exactly come in contact with that ancient language before?
