Now began the rigorous training to make the wooden staff an extension of his own body. Kalbhairav made Aryan stand atop a high bamboo pole, beneath which lay a deep abyss. Aryan had to twirl his staff and maintain his balance on that narrow bamboo. During this time, Aryan learned to feel the movement of every single muscle in his body. He realized that even without seeing the ground beneath his feet, it was possible to perceive it purely through touch and vibration. Over these ten days, Aryan underwent a massive physical transformation. His hair grew long, and through sheer hard work, his body became immensely powerful. His master presented him with a majestic royal attire. Aryan now looked far more formidable, radiant, and sharp than ever before.

Days 21 to 30: The Warrior of the Dark

The final ten days of training became even more perilous. The elderly Kalbhairav now began to launch ambush attacks on Aryan without any warning. The objective was to counter-attack solely by sensing the enemy's presence and the sound of their breathing. In the dead of night, when the jungle fell dead silent, Aryan had to defend himself relying only on the faint rustle of approaching footsteps.

Kalbhairav gifted Aryan a special ancient sword and revealed that it possessed a supernatural power. When Aryan first held it, he could barely lift it, but gradually, he learned to master it. Whenever the sword's power was activated, a lightning-like blue aura would emanate from Aryan’s entire body, and his sightless eyes would glow a striking blue. The master said, "From this day on, no one but you can lift this sword. Even if it is lost somewhere, it will return to your hand the moment you summon it." By the 30th day, it was clear that Aryan was effortlessly deflecting every single blow from Kalbhairav’s staff.

One night, after concluding their training, the old man placed his hand on Aryan’s back and said, "Aryan, your thirty days of devotion are complete. Those who snatched away your eyes did not know that they have awakened your other four senses. You are now ten times stronger than any ordinary warrior. Your sword will never miss its mark again."

Return to the Kingdom
104Please respect copyright.PENANATtcMQnbX8o
Receiving his master's blessings, Aryan set off for the capital. When he reached the gates of the capital, the guards were utterly shocked to see him. They wondered how a blind boy could have survived in the deep jungle for so long! The King was immediately informed. The King arrived at the gates in his horse carriage without delay. Aryan politely saluted the King.

The King said, "Aryan, since you have returned, I shall appoint you as the ruler of 'Chhayapalli' (The Village of Shadows)."

Aryan replied, "I do not wish to become a ruler just yet. I want to complete my training at the military academy first."

Surprised, the King asked, "But you cannot see with your eyes, so how will you complete your training?"
104Please respect copyright.PENANAPp94Wp3Zj6
Aryan said with absolute confidence, "Who says one only needs eyes to see? I can comprehend everything by listening with my ears and sensing through feeling."

The King was impressed and said, "Excellent! So be it then." The King ordered the Commander to escort Aryan to his quarters. Before leaving, the King added, "Aryan, take rest today. Tomorrow, meet your comrades and resume your training. I will instruct them to readmit you into the team." Aryan thanked him and took his leave.
