99-108
Chapter 99 - Can't Meditate, Five Beings.
After eating some food, Athan sat down and started thinking excitedly, ' I only lack two Mystic intents now. If I can comprehend Speed and vibration Intent to Master level, then I'll be able to form concept and have a chance to earn a spot in the top 10 or even top 3. '
He is adamant about being in the top 10 or top 3 because of the reward of entering the legendary sector, which will help him progress faster.
Athan closed his eyes and entered deep meditation, but a second later, Sweat started to form all over his body as he opened his eyes which held panic.
He activated his Digiband and contacted Senior Rishen.
A few seconds later, A portal appeared under him as he arrived at the Senior Rishen's place.
...
Senior Rishen entered into deep thought after Athan described his situation to him.
After a while, Senior Rishen shook his head and said, " I don't know why that happened to you, but you should stop comprehending for now. Your brain and consciousness must still be in a very active state, and it is also possible that you acquired a trauma regarding it. For now, You should give rest to comprehending intents and focus on increasing your combat power by practicing spells and the flowing method. "
Athan's expression became dejected as even Senior Rishen couldn't find any way to solve his situation.
" Sorry for disturbing you. Guess I'll focus on practicing my combat abilities. "
Senior Rishen nodded and said with a smile, " It's ok. If you find any trouble during training, You can contact me. "
After which, He opened a portal near Athan.
...
Seeing Athan coming back from the portal with a dejected expression, Avelia asked in a soft voice, " did something bad happen? "
Sighing, Athan nodded, " After eating, I tried to enter a meditative state to comprehend Intents, and right after I started to comprehend Intent, An intense pain assaulted me as my mystic force was automatically consumed. "
Avelia was startled and asked, " Do you mean that you entered Fatal Cogitation State right after you tried to comprehend intents? "
"That seems to be the case, but I couldn't focus on training at all due to the pain experienced by my brain and consciousness when I tried to comprehend intent. "
Avelia worriedly said, " Don't push yourself too far. It would be best if you take things slowly from now on. The burden on your brain and consciousness for comprehending 5 intents to the Master level in a short time period and entering that high-level state must have caused some kind of trauma. "
" I think so too...sigh, Let's hope I can recover after a month so I can continue to comprehending because I only need to master two Mystic Intents to start forming my concept. "
Avelia nodded with a smile and asked, " I also hope that you recover, but what do we do now? "
Athan looked at her and smiled wryly before saying, " I'll just practice the new Flowing method I received from Senior Rishen. "
Avelia was overjoyed at the response because practicing with Athan means she could spend more time with him.
...
Athan started with the flowing method because he can't practice the spell as it requires him to comprehend Shadow Intent, Air Intent, and Space Intent to Master level.
Senior Rishen said that this spell would come in handy in many situations.
[ Shadow Transfer ]
- Requires Shadow, Air, and Space Intent at Master Level.
- User can form a shadow mark of any shape to bypass even in the smallest of holes or space before transferring himself to the mark's location.
- Maximum range is 100 meters after practicing this spell to peak-stage.
Athan wanted to practice this, but he needed to comprehend Shadow and Space intent to Master level even to start practicing, so he put this spell on hold and focused on the Flowing Method.
He was truly dumbfounded when he read the requirements of this Flowing Method for the first time.
Senior Rishen didn't tell Athan that he was the one who created this Flowing method.
[ Pentagon Spirit Flowing Method ]
- Requirements: Fire, Earth, Wood, Water, and Air Intents at Intermediate Level to start.
- Flowing Path: Full Body.
- Requirement of Body States---> Beginner Stage: 120 Strength, 150 Constitution.
- Spells:
Beginner Stage:- Berserk Grenade, Berserk Ray.
Advanced Stage:- Pentagon God's Sanctuary, Pentagon Demon's Grasp.
Peak-Stage:- Pentagon Spirit Armament. ( Requires Intents at Advanced Level. )
...
Athen started to practice the flowing method and grasped the basics of the Beginner Stage after two days.
Afterward, He started to practice with Avelia while running the Pentagon Spirit Flowing Method in his body.
Berserk Grenade spell was literally a grenade type spell that would explode upon contact, and Berserk Ray is a laser type, Penetrative attack.
It wasn't that hard for Athan to start the beginner stage, but it proved hard to master it.
The Five Active energies; Fire, Wood, Water, Air, and Earth, running inside his whole body while he was in rigorous movements like flying and using other spells was indeed a bit difficult.
" Damn, that was difficult. " Athan spoke as he slumped to the ground.
Avelia said with a smile, " But Those Spells are really powerful. Anyway, I'll cook some food while you take some rest. "
" Thanks for the delicious food. " Athan laughed and said.
...
Days passed as Athan moved to practice Space Ripple, Combusting Burst steps, Earth Golems and Hydro Blitz as he mastered them to peak-stage since he could not practice The Peak-stage of Pentagon spirit Flowing method because it required Intents at Master level.
He had tried to comprehend Intent, but he was still suffering from the same problem of automatically entering Fatal Cogitation State while feeling pain in his consciousness and brain.
With a sigh, Athan thought, ' Now only one month is left, and I still can't enter normal meditation state. '
Avelia was currently out for the mission, and he was also bored as he had nothing to do.
' Guess I'll visit the virtual world. '
He first ate a white crystalline pill before entering the Virtual World.
Although he could not comprehend Intents, He still had Many Elemental Pills, so he ate Time Origin Pill to get Time Element.
...
A Space Fortress that was even bigger than a planet was actually suspended in space.
It was not round shape like a planet but truly a huge rectangle Fortress that had numerous Towers.
The grandiosity of it was truly...magnificent.
Giant Spaceships were traveling to and fro from that fortress.
A Place inside that fortress was connected to a separate space.
Five beings were sitting on five different thrones inside that pocket space while being suspended in this sky.
The surroundings were filled with White clouds with no land in sight.
These five beings had different appearances.
One being sat on a sparkling Black throne that was painted with blue and white patterns.
This being had a small height of only 1 ft, and his throne was also the smallest due to his size.
He had black skin with a light blue hue and two holes in his palm; his forehead had a silver-colored horn.
The being on his left sat on a Throne that seemed to be created from the bones. Dark mists surrounded him/her, which made it difficult to see his or her appearance.
But Instead of hands and feet like normal humans, This being instead had three long...tentacles that were red-colored, so his/her skin was also most likely red.
" Crisaly, What plans do you have for the Human race? It seems that you were pulling quite a few strings recently. "
The one who spoke was a being with two giant green wings on his back; His body was also the biggest among these 5 beings.
If someone saw from afar, His throne was actually completely white, just like the clouds around them, so it wouldn't seem like he was sitting on a throne, but there was a faint grey outline around his throne which was observable if one looked carefully.
His question was directed at the being that looked like a female. The reason for judging her as a female was due to the bust of her chest.
They were huge. According to human standards, it was a K-cup-nay, King cup size bust.
But she was not a human, She had four eyes, and a dark film covered her nose and below area.
Her skin color was purple as her hands didn't have fingers. It was just a long sharp purple pointy stick, same with her legs.
She snorted from her covered nose and said, " I am not pulling any strings. It's just my attempt to help them unlock their secret passage of the Legendary Sector. "
Another womanly voice rang out, which came from the tentacle being, " Don't go too far just because you lost against The Jade Empress. If you break the treaty between races, You and your race will directly suffer Lord's wrath. "
Annoyance could be seen in the eyes of Crisaly as she said, " I know what I am doing. Do you think I would put my Race and me in danger just because of losing against Aragaya, that bitch? "
" Then what were you doing in Human Race's Legendary Sector? "
Crisaly didn't want to answer at first, but the other four began to put pressure on her, so she raised her hands and said, " Fine, fine, I'll tell you why I went there. "
Pausing here, She said with an unnatural expression, " It's...because Aragaya made a bet with me in that fight, and I lost, so I went there to... fulfill it. "
A fat being that had Bronze skin with gold patterns asked, " What did you bet? " His throne was golden colored with dark patterns.
Crisaly snapped at that question and answered angrily, " What does it have to do you with? I will handle my own Race and affairs. Now can we already start the meeting about resource allocation? "
Chapter 100 - Hot Avelia And A Difficult Intent To Comprehend.
Athan returned from virtual before looking at the new Spell he exchanged with a student in Public Market.
Of course, he didn't exchange spells he got from Senior Rishen but exchanged his Earth Golems Spell for Darklings.
[ Darklings ]
- Requirements: Dark Intent, Water Intent.
- Conjures Dark flying creatures that can trigger explode.
Athan started to practice this, and the difficulty of practising was a bit lower than Earth Golems.
Athan got the hang of the beginner stage in a few hours as he started to use the spell.
Two small Dark creatures with wings conjured in front of Athan.
He controlled them as they flew up in the sky, and when the two darklings were high up in the sky, Athan triggered them as they exploded into a small pool of sticky dark liquid.
This dark liquid had corrosive properties to lower the defences of the target.
Athan nodded, seeing this, " Since I can't practice Brilliant Dark Rain spell, Darklings will do for now. "
He then started to practice the spell to a higher stage.
The next day, Just when Athan wanted to check his bodily defence against Advanced Level Darklings, Avelia returned from her mission and saw four small dark creatures with wings explode around him.
She was startled at first but saw that nothing happened to his body except his clothes got melted, which caused her face to turn red.
Athan was dumbfounded at this coincidence for a second before he hurriedly put a black energy coat on him.
' What a timing....' This time, he was truly speechless because his dragon was energetic as he didn't have any activity for a long time.
Athan had turned nineteen a few months ago, and for people around his age, the natural thirst for those kinds of things is instinctive.
Avelia's face turned red as she said shyly, "I'll go cook some food. "
Seeing Avelia entering the kitchen, Athan also changed his clothes before continuing the practice spell.
After four days, Athan successfully mastered the Peak-Stage of Darklings, and right now, He and Avelia were combating in the sky.
" Athan, did you try to comprehend the intent these days? "
Avelia said while attacking Athan with her new spell that took the form of silver blades with utmost sharpness.
This spell was the combination of Space, Sound and she used shred intent to increase the lethality.
" Nope, But only twenty-six days are left, and I won't be able to comprehend two mystic Intents at Master level within this time frame, Let alone trying to form concept. "
Athan answered as the spell arrived near him before he punched the blades and shattered them before sighing.
" Let's stop now. You need to focus on comprehending your Intents now, You've been neglecting them due to my combat training, but I've already mastered my spells and weapons to perfect control. "
Avelia was disappointed a bit, but she didn't reject, " I'll go take a bath first. " Saying this, She went into the treehouse.
Athan nodded before he sat down crossed-legged and closed his eyes. He tried to enter the meditative state and comprehend intent.
But a second later, His eye opened with a surprised expression.
' I can comprehend intents in normal state and without feeling pain...But it's fuking too late now. ' Shaking his head, Athan sighed, but he nonetheless entered the meditative state and started to comprehend Vibration Intent after taking out the Vibration Intent Slate.
....
" Aaaaahhh, Athan..."
After a while, a moan escaped from the bathroom with Athan's name.
Athan couldn't hear it as he was focused on comprehending Intents, and Avelia, who was in the bathroom, also panicked as she unintentionally let out a bit louder moan.
Her slim body with no fat and graceful curves looked just like some holy goddess, and with perfect white breasts and erect nipples, She looked flawlessly beautiful. Her long silver strands of hairs were draped behind her, and she seemed to be playing with herself with an icy crystalized object in her hand but stopped due to the unintentional loud moan that she let out just a few seconds ago.
Her face was extremely red, thinking about how Athan must have heard her, While she was also worried.
The sight of Athan's big rod four days ago was not going out of her mind as she was starting to think about it and her hormones also became active as it was normal for age.
...
After a while, She came out of the bathroom with new clothes. She wore a dark silver outfit with loose sleeves with a long gap after the wrist, and the outfit reached her knees. The dress had beautiful designs and silver colour patterns, just like her hair, while the outfit was mostly dark-coloured.
She saw that Athan was in meditation and walked in front of him before she muttered in a worried tone, " Did he enter Fatal Cogitation State once again? "
She hurriedly put her hand on his forehead to check, but she sighed relief, seeing that it was not hot.
Although Athan was in meditation, He could sense people's presence, unlike what happened when he mistakenly entered Fatal Cogitation State, so he had already senses Avelia when she arrived in front of him.
Though he was not expecting her to touch his forehead.
Opening his eyes, He said with a wry smile, " I can enter normal deep meditation once again and comprehend Intents without suffering any pain, but it's too late now. "
Avelia was happy for him as she smiled, and after hesitating for a bit, she asked, " Did you....hear any kind of sound a while ago? "
Her heart was beating fast as she asked this question and looked at Athan carefully.
Hearing her question, Athan confusedly shook his head and said, " What kind of sound? I don't remember hearing anything. " He then asked, " Why? did something happen? "
" N-no, nothing happened. I was just asking cause I heard some sound while I was taking a bath, but it must have been my imagination. "
Avelia shook her head repeatedly while preventing her face from turning red.
She then said as a smile formed on her lips, " But I think you can still fight for the spot in the top 10 places, Concepts are indeed powerful, but Origin Plane students can't display the full potential of their formed concept without ascending Plane, so you still have a chance. "
Athan nodded in agreement before he fell into thought.
' Twenty-six days...I think I'll try to comprehend Time Intent as much as I can and use its powerful properties in the tournament with my spells. I think It can definitely boost my chance of winning against more powerful opponents. '
He looked at Avelia and said with a grin, " I have a plan, and if it works, my chances of winning against opponents that are more powerful than me will increase. "
Avelia asked curiously, " What plan? "
" Time Intent. I have Time energy sea, but it's completely useless. The Time energy without Time Intent can only affect weak things like normal rock and leaves, but it couldn't even affect my weakest spells, so I'll have to Comprehend Time intent as much as I can. "
Avelia was startled at Athan's bold idea because Time intent is one of the hardest intent to comprehend.
She worriedly spoke, " But The bottlenecks of Time Intent are dangerous and extremely hard, Countless people tried and spent years upon years, but only a few can comprehend Time Intent at Master Level. "
Athan smiled faintly and said, " I know that it's hard but who knows? I might have a high-affinity Time Element, so I can comprehend Time Intent easier. Anyway, Let's start our training as you also need to focus on comprehending Intents from now on. "
Avelia nodded and sat down beside Athan as they started their training in meditation.
...
After six days, Athan opened his eyes with a frown and thought, ' Damn, it took me six days just to comprehend Elementry Level Time Intent...'
But he didn't want to waste time, so he once again closed his eyes and went into meditation.
To comprehend the Intermediate Level of Time Intent, He took thirteen days.
Opening his eyes, He glanced to his left side and saw that Avelia was still in meditation before activating his Digiband and contacted Senior Rishen.
After massaging him, He thought, ' Only eleven days are left, and I need to comprehend Time Intent at Advanced Level...sigh didn't expect that it would be this difficult to comprehend Time Intent. '
If he said this to other people, Athan would be killed thousands of time just by hateful glares.
How dare he say that after comprehending Intermediate Level Time Intent in just nineteen days.
A few minutes later, Athan disappeared as he fell into the portal that appeared under him and arrived at Senior Rishen's place.
He didn't mince his words and said, " Senior Rishen, Did you comprehend Time Intent? If you have then, please help me. If I can hear you preach about Time Intent, I might reach Advanced Level Time Intent in eleven days. "
Senior Rishen was slightly shocked, " Since how long you've been comprehending Time Intent? "
Athan had an anxious face as he said, " I Started nineteen days ago, and it's really difficult to comprehend Time Inte- "
" Stop....say no more. "
After sighing, Senior Rishen said with a wry smile, " Sit down and Focus. I'll start now. "
Chapter 101 - Tournament Commences
Athan and Avelia sat beside each other on the giant tree's branch where the treehouse was built.
In front of them stood Senior Rishen, who spoke, " As you already know, The Preliminary Round will take place in the virtual world, and after that, the next rounds will take place in the real world. You both don't have to worry about this round as you will definitely pass it because this round is held to weed out the weaker students. "
Athan and Avelia nodded, and after a second, A notification also appeared on their Digibands.
[ The Preliminary Round will start in 3 seconds. Get ready as you will directly face your first opponent. ]
[3]
[2]
[1]
...
Both Athan and Avelia entered the virtual and appeared at different places that looked the same.
A 50 square meter stage.
[ Athan vs Rejaz ]
[ Rules to win are simple: either defeat the opponent or throw them out of the stage ]
[ Start ]
Just as the Start sounded, Both Athan and Rejaz threw out a spell.
Athan released an Impact Shot of Ice element while the opponent released a metal spike.
Sensing the energy of the Metal spikes, Athan was stunned because it was too weak.
[ The Winner is Athan ]
The opponent couldn't dodge Athan's super fast Impact shot that was augmented with Space ripples and lost.
Rejaz appeared in the real-world and muttered, " Damn, I knew that I wouldn't even pass the preliminarily due to only comprehending my few Intents at Intermediate Level but didn't expect to lose the first match. "
...
Athan was still standing on the battle stage as another notification appeared after The Ai announced his victory.
[ Win seven more matches to pass the preliminaries. ]
[ The next battle starts in 3 seconds. ]
[3]
[2]
[1]
[0]
After the countdown hit 0, A person appeared in front of Athan.
[ Athan vs. Teinira ]
[ Ready ]
[ Start ]
Athan released an Impact Shot and defeated his opponent, fast and precise.
[ The Winner is Athan ]
" So this is what he meant by weed out the weaker students. If two powerful students meet in the preliminary round and one of them lost then it would be somewhat unfair due to the changes of rewards and rules in this tournament. "
Athan sensed that this student also had an intermediate level of power in his spell, Meaning that he was in the intermediate stage of the Origin Intent Plane.
Since almost all Origin Intent Plane students have participated in this event, They held this preliminary round to eliminate weaker students.
...
There was no pause as Athan continued to get matched against students who were weaker than him. To be precise, None of the students he fought had comprehended even one Intent at Advanced Level.
After twenty minutes, He finished the last battle with a win and returned to Real World with a notification.
[ Congratulations! You have won in the preliminary round. Wait for a while to get information regarding the next round. ]
Athan opened his eyes and didn't saw Senior Rishen as he had left at some point, and Avelia was still doing her preliminary round.
But After 10 minutes, She was also done with it as she opened her eyes.
After a few seconds, A portal appeared in front of them along with the voice of Senior Rishen, which told them to enter the portal.
Both of them stood up and entered the portal as they arrived at Senior Rishen's place.
" Wait for a few minutes. The next round will be transmitted to all students who have passed after The preliminary rounds are over. "
Indeed, After five minutes, Both Athan and Avelia received a notification.
[ The Next round of the tournament will be held at Tempest Planet. Don't move from your position as we transfer you to the Station in a minute. ]
After reading this, Avelia asked Senior Rishen with a doubt, " Senior, will the transfer protocol work if we are in this room? "
Senior Rishen smiled and said, " Of course it will not work, but don't worry, I'll send you there with my portal. "
Athan asked curiously, " How do they transfer us anyway? "
" The Digiband shows your coordinates to them, and they can teleport you from there as the place you were staying has a big space formation. But it only works inside a big area. For instance, They will only teleport you from one continent to another when it's an emergency because it consumes too much energy. Though they can teleport you anywhere in one continent. "
Athan nodded in understanding as he thought, ' So they can determine our position from the Digiband; well, I expected that, but seriously how many continents are there in this ridiculously huge planet? I am still an outer Academy student as I'm still an Origin Intent Plane student. '
Athan knew that only Soul Altar Plane students are considered Inner Academy Students.
" Alright, It's time. " Saying this, Senior Rishen opened a portal.
He then looked at them and said with a smile, " Good Luck, both of you, and don't push yourself too much. The tournament will be harsh, and it is in the real world, so be careful. "
Athan and Avelia nodded as they entered the portal.
...
The place they arrived was an unfamiliar one, but there were many students around them.
A middle-aged man who wore a plain white loose robe and had long black hair was high up in the sky as he muttered, " Hmmm, so 915 students passed the preliminary round. It's not bad considering only a few new students passed, and most of the students are older students. "
He then flew down before releasing a thundering sound by unknown means, probably related to Sound Element, to capture the students' attention.
Everyone looked in the sky after hearing the loud thundering sound.
" Students, I am Teacher Rahpel. A Teleportation Formation is in the process of connecting to the Tempest Planet. It will be ready in a few minutes. "
" Meanwhile, Let me fill you in about the details of the 2nd Round. "
Saying this, He waved his hand a big hologram appeared that displayed a chaotic planet.
" This is the Tempest Planet and also the place where the 2nd round will be held. This planet's environment is very chaotic, and so the magical beasts that live on this planet. The rules are simple; Kill the beasts and gather their cores. Only Origin Core Stage beasts live on this planet. "
The hologram changed from the planet to a thick wrist band.
" This wrist band has been transported into your Digiband; take it out and wear it. "
The students took out the wristband from the Digiband storage and wore it around their wrist.
Athan also did the same, and right after he wore it, The Screen in the wristband came to life as it displayed two stats.
HP: 1000
Cores Points: 0
Seeing that everyone wore the wristband, Teacher Raphel said, " The HP is your Heath Points, and it shows your health. If you are injured, then it will go down. Once it hits 20, you will be injected with a healing serum to recover your health and teleported from there into the Spaceship that will be orbiting around the Planet Tempest. "
" The cores you obtain from killing the beasts need to be stored in this wrist band, and according to the stage of the core, You will gain points. "
Afterward, The hologram disappeared before he adopted a serious expression and spoke, " The most important rule, You can not kill the students of this Academy or other Academies. Always remember that all of your actions are being monitored. The Healing serum only works when your HP hits 20, so before that, If someone deals you a killing blow, you will die; Either by a Magical Beast or An unruly student. In that case, You can manually give up if you feel like you can't go on anymore with just a thought, and you will be teleported to the Orbiting Spaceship. "
" Keep in mind that the punishment for killing a fellow student either with tricks or directly is worse than death. "
Everyone nodded as they knew that.
Seeing this, Teacher Raphel said with a smile, " The formation is ready, and you will be teleported to the Tempest Planet after 10 seconds. Best of luck, everyone, and I hope to see that our Academy's students take the most places in the top 1000 students as only the Top 1000 students will proceed to the Quarter Finals. "
After a few seconds, The 915 students disappeared with a silver light that lit up under them.
...
Athan didn't spot Avelia around him after appearing on this tempest planet.
" The Atmosphere is terrible, but it can't affect me. "
He was standing on a snowy plain with biting cold winds flowing chaotically.
A ding sound appeared, and a hologram lit up from his Wrist band.
[ Leaderboards ]
Hefniel: 20 points
~
~
" Oh, someone already killed a 2nd-grade origin core beast? "
Just as he spoke, The hologram refreshed as he saw a familiar name on top of Hefniel.
Avelia: 50 points.
" Looks like she also encountered a Magical beast right after arriving here. "
*RAWRRRRRRRR....*
Just then, He also heard a roar behind.
Hearing the roar, Athan thought with a smile, ' Looks like my first prey is here. '
Chapter 102 - End Of The Round, Onwards To The Quarter-Final.
Athan was currently facing an injured 8th-grade Origin core beast.
The beast was a huge silver bird with a fire and a green pattern on its body.
" Combusting Burst steps."
He boosted his speed and dodged the colorful blades released by the beasts, and threw his chakrams coated with Hydro Blitz.
The two chakrams sharply flew towards the beast as they cut through the fierce winds before cutting both of its wings.
*Screeeeeeeeeeee.*
After finishing it off, Athan took out its core before storing it in his Wrist band.
+80 points.
Athan: 920 Points, Rank: 64
" Finally, my first 8th-grade origin core. "
Athan looked at the list and saw that Avelia's rank was 264th.
Just then, a notification appeared on all student's wrist band.
[ The round will end in 24 hours. ]
[ 23:59 ]
An additional countdown appeared on the display of the wrist band.
HP: 1000
Cores Points: 920
[ 23:59 ] Until the round is over.
Suddenly he sensed two people's presence behind him.
He swiftly turned around and put up a Pentagon God's Sanctuary and used Blood Armor on top of his Black Dragon Scaled Armor.
The Pentagon god's Sanctuary was a powerful defensive spell from Pentagon Spirit Flowing Method.
It creates a square barrier around him that is intertwined with countless strings of five elements; Fire, Water, Earth, Wood, and Air.
The Pentagon God's Sanctuary is a complicated barrier spell connecting itself to Athan after it is formed.
There are four modes to this Spell.
1st Anti-Penetration, 2nd Anti-Blast, 3rd Anti-Corrosive, 4th Anti-Shock.
He can change its structure according to the type of attack it is hit with. If it's a penetrative type attack, Athan can change the barrier into an Anti-Penetrative type to block the penetrative attacks. If it's a shockwave type attack that could crumble the barrier's inner structure, then Athan could change the barrier into an Anti-Shock type, which would shrink the barrier and strengthen its inner structure to resist the shockwave attacks.
But its weaknesses are also apparent, so Athan also used his other defensive spells inside the Pentagon God's Sanctuary.
" Looks like this kid is scared just by sensing our presence, Hahaha. "
Scornful words accompanied by mocking laughs echoed towards Athan.
He saw two middle-aged men walking towards him with a smile on there, and they looked at Athan as if they were looking at their prey.
Both men wore similar clothes with just slight differences, and They didn't seem to be from Myriad Stars Academy.
One of them looked at Athan and spoke with a wicked smile, " Kid, Take out your valuable things, or we'll send you to the spaceship up there. "
Athan frowned and spoke, " Don't you know the penalty of attacking fellow students? "
" Hahaha, Kid. There is a penalty only if we kill you, But if we just attack you until your HP drops to 20, you will be healed and transported to the spaceship, so there's no penalty. "
Another middle-aged man with Voilet hair spoke, " Well, if you obediently give us your belongings from that Digiband, then we won't attack you, and you can continue to gather points. "
Athan looked at them as his eyes turned cold.
But he didn't do as they said and diffused all of his defensive spells, making the two middle-aged men confused.
" What are you doing, kid? "
Athan cracked his join and said with a cold grin, " Nothing, I'm just about to get rid of the two annoying flies that are disturbing me. "
Right after that, Athan disappeared with a woosh sound and appeared in the sky.
The Nightmare wings combined with Combusting Burst steps were just too fast, and he was confident of outspending most of the peak stage Origin Plane practitioners.
Two middle-aged men were dumbfounded at the Athan's speed, and hurridly separated themselves before taking their position and flew towards Athan from both sides.
' Looks like they are experienced in combat. '
But Athan just smiled as they flew around them without attacking them.
Both middle-aged men could not catch up to Athan no matter what they did, and their spells could also not hit Athan.
Though he was hit by one spell, his Blood Armor Barely cracked, and he knew that they were small fries at Advanced Stage of Origin Intent Plane.
After a minute of flying around, He stopped and descended to the ground.
The two middle-aged men also descended. One stood at his left side while another at his right side.
Seeing this, Athan smiled and thought internally, ' Just as planned. Now let's see if my calculations are right. '
The two middle-aged men ad dark faces as one of them spoke, " What's the deal with you, kid? "
They didn't notice Athan's Energy, so they failed to notice that he was more powerful than them.
Actually, Athan used spells while flying around, but he masked them with his cloud energy, space energy, and a bit of mystic force.
" If you two don't want to return to that spaceship up there right now, Then obediently take out everything from your Digiband. "
Hearing Athan's words, Both middle-aged men were dumbfounded before they started laughing.
' Well, I expected them not to believe me. '
With a helpless smile, Athan said, " Alright, I have no more time to waste so...Bye and don't judge people by their looks and age next time. "
Right after he finished speaking, Both middle-aged men sensed overwhelming danger.
*Shashashashas...*
A Rain of small blue bullets shot towards the two middle from 45 degrees on top of them as they couldn't even dodge them.
Athan suddenly frowned a bit as he used his repel Intent to create a field on the top of their heads.
' Phew, I miscalculated a bit, but it's ok now. '
Water Impact Scatter rained on the two men as bloody holes formed in their legs and hands, and some also hit their back before boring a hole in their abdomen.
Their HP instantly hit 20 as healing serum kicked in before they were wrapped in silver light and disappeared.
With an excited smile, Athan thought, ' Hell yeah...! Time intent is indeed awesome. I feel like I can do many tricks with it. "
He then continued to move, and soon he encountered another beast.
...
Earlier...
While he was flying around, he used Impact Scatter four times from both of his hands, which means forty small bullets.
But he stopped those bullets in two different places by using time energy on them while using space and cloud energy to cover them completely.
He also used Speed Intent on the bullets to increase their speed after the Time stop wears off from the spells.
After doing this, He descended at a spot, and the two middle-aged men also stood around at the place where he calculated after descending.
But when the four Impact Scatters was released from the time stop, he discovered that his calculations were a bit wrong, and some bullets had a chance to hit their heads, so he used repel intent to protect their heads.
After that, The Game was over for them as Water Impact Scatter hit them in the back ( abdomen ), Legs, and hands.
...
Hours upon hours passed by as Athan continued to hunt the beasts speedily, His Crystals constantly spinning to recover his spent energies.
Only 10 minutes were left until the end of the round.
Athan: 1390 Points, Rank: 32
He was lucky as he encountered quite a few Grade 8 Origin Core beasts on this last day compared to the previous two days.
He then searched for Avelia and was surprised to find her ranking at 165th place.
' Her rank went up a lot. I wonder how many Intents she comprehended and at what level? I'm pretty sure her Space Intent was at Master level recently as she is also hiding something that definitely has the ability to speed up and power up her comprehension, Just not as fast as me. '
' Whatever, Everyone has their secrets. '
He then simply waited for the last 10 minutes to pass as there was no point in continuing.
...
[ The round is over. Brace yourself as you will be teleported to the Spaceship in 3 seconds. ]
[ 3 ]
[ 2 ]
[ 1 ]
[ 0 ]
...
All students were teleported to the Giant Spaceship in the space and appeared in a huge hall.
The hall was filled with students, and A huge projectile of a man in military uniform appeared.
He looked in his early forties and had short black hair.
" Congratulations to the thousand of you for passing this round. "
After he was finished speaking, A new hologram appeared as It showed a Huge Stage with numerous holes and dark clouds hovering over the whole stage.
[ This is the Devastation Stage where the quarter-finals will be held. The quarter-finals are simple; You will eliminate other participants by pushing them into the hole or if their HP hit 200. ]
[ Flying is forbidden. If you fly, You will be eliminated. The Quarter-Final will be finished when 100 participants are left on the stage. ]
[ We will arrive at the Devastation Stage after 10 hours, and after arriving there, The Quarter-Final will start immediately. ]
Chapter 103 - Quarter-Final Round Over, Onwards To Semi-Final Round.
[ Standstill everyone, You will be teleported on top of the Devastation Stage in 3 seconds. ]
[ 3 ]
[ 2 ]
[ 1 ]
[ 0 ]
....
The 1000 students appeared on top of the devastation stage, but they couldn't move or use spells.
[ Eliminate Other participants by pushing them into the pits or attacking them to reduce their HP to 200. ]
[ You all can freely use all of your power, and no need to worry about accidentally killing someone. ]
[ Ready ]
[ Start ]
Athan started to use his defensive spell just as the [ Start ] sounded.
The section of his stage had four people, and they also used their defensive spells first before starting to strike others.
' They are quite weak. ' The energies he sensed from their defensive spells were only boosted by Advanced Level Intent.
He then hurriedly used Pentagon Demon's grasp spell as a Two giant hand materialized on top of him.
' Shit, it Looks like our spells are suppressed here. ' Athan guessed that the suppressive effect was probably due to the dark clouds that were hovering everywhere above them.
The hands were big; Each finger was 5 meters long and 2 meters thick with a giant palm that was around 6 squared meters but normally, they were bigger.
This spell's consumption was high, but Athan didn't need to worry about it due to his Crystals.
The two giant hands were covered with Earth energy and had fire veins visible on the palm; their structure inside was complicated as Water, Wood, and Air had their own roles to play.
Seeing the Two giant hands, The other three students around Athan made him his target. Still, Athan was fearless as he powerfully slapped both of the hands onto the stage. From the giant hands' fingers, Vines of wood energy that were strengthened by water energy released towards the other three participants.
The vines didn't damage them due to their defensive spells, but There was no need to in the first place.
After the giant vines snared the three of them, Athan controlled the giant hands as they appeared on top of them, and from the middle of the palm, Fierce Flames released that were augmented by Air energy to make it even more powerful.
The three participant's defense fell apart as they were consumed by the flames and were teleported to the Spaceship.
Athan looked around and jumped across the pit at his left side using combusting burst steps and landed on the section where the four participants were still tangled with each other.
" Allow me to help you. "
Hearing Athan's voice, The four students felt chill on their back, but it was too late.
The two giant hands rapidly charged towards them as all the energies inside giant hands turned volatile before they exploded.
*BOOOM....*
The powerful explosion of five energies pushed the three of them into the pit as they were eliminated and disappeared.
" Huuu...It looks like my luck is good. They were probably one of the weakest bunch here."
Taking a deep breath, Athan just stood there and watched others fighting.
He took out his chakrams and held them in his hands.
The dragon scaled armor was covered with patterns of blood armor, but the shape of armor remained. His Dragon helmet with two horns and the curved spiked shoulder plates were covered with bloody design as they looked menacing.
Two chakrams in his hands were coated with hydro blitz as they shined with blue and gold, and several darklings were flying around him, ready to attack anyone in sight.
The current Athan looked badass.
Suddenly, He looked at his left side and saw someone arriving on his section of the stage.
Athan commands the darklings to attack, but the person swatted them away.
For the first time in this tournament, Athan felt threatened.
' This person has mastered several Master Intents or has already formed a concept. '
" Wait, wait, brother, I am not here to attack you. "
Athan didn't stop entirely stop and was ready to attack anytime, But he still asked, " What do you mean? "
The person in front of him wore an energy coat that excluded several energies. His looks were not bad, and he had spiky golden hair ( Like Goku ) and had a slim but muscled build. From his appearance, he looked in his mid-twenties.
He smiled towards Athan and said, " My name is Yahan. You look rather powerful, so why don't we work together and attack anyone that comes here? "
Hearing this, Athan was slightly surprised, but he also smiled, which was not seen by the other person due to his helmet, " Sure, But I have a slight problem. My hands might occasionally slip, so be careful not to hit by my spells. "
Yahan was speechless for a moment before he started laughing and said, " Haha, It's ok. But then you should also be careful as I have the same problem. "
From then on, Athan and Yahan watched others fighting while being on guard against each other.
[ 438 Participants left. ]
After an hour...
[ 217 Participants Left. ]
After half an hour...
[ 201 Participants Left. ]
Right now, There was silence on The Devastation Stage as nobody was fighting.
Athan spotted Avelia at a section but didn't go over because he sensed someone coming in his direction.
A middle-aged man approached the section where Athan and Yahan were staying and spoke with a grim expression, " You two are the only ones who are staying in one section. Fight each other so that we can finish this round. "
Hearing this, Athan and Yahan looked at each other and started laughing.
The middle-aged man frowned and was going to say something, but his face turned pale the next second as he regretted coming here.
" 4-Layer Impact Point. "
" Hell Blaze "
Two powerful attacks shot towards the middle-aged man as his defensive spells were broken, and his HP hit 200 instantly.
[ Congratulations to the 200 students for passing the Quarter-Finals. ]
Afterward, The 200 students were transported to the spaceship.
Avelia came running towards Athan with a smile and said with fatigue, " Phew, This round was kinda hard. I might not get past the semi-final round. "
Athan had removed his helmet, so his face was visible.
He also smiled and said, " Who knows? You might still have a few more trump cards. "
A wry expression appeared on her face as she shook her head and said in a low voice, " Nope, I can't use some trump cards in public. "
Yahan also approached Athan and said with a grin, " Wow, You also have such a beautiful girlfriend? I'm envious. "
Avelia blushed hearing that and thought, ' Too bad I'm not. '
Just then, Everyone saw a hologram of the same person who appeared when telling details about the Quarter-Final round.
A faint smile was plastered on his face as he said, " First, Congratulations on passing the Quarter-Final round. "
" The semi-Final round will be a bit different. It will be held in Virtual World, and there will be no fights, but instead, Everyone has to comprehend a Mystic Intent. "
" Everyone will receive an Intent Inscribed Tablet of the same Intent and don't worry as there hasn't been a single thing related to this intent out in the market yet because This is a brand new Intent as it was comprehended recently for the first time by an Ancestor. "
Everyone was shocked to hear that as they started to murmur.
" Oh, a new intent? I wonder which one will it be. "
" New intent means new concepts. I think many seniors will try out new combinations with his intent. "
...
The man on the hologram didn't speak as he let the students discuss for a minute before speaking, " Alright, Lay down inside the Virtual Tube and prepare for the Semi-Final round. You all have 5 days to comprehend this intent, and the top 50 students who have the highest understanding of this intent will pass the Semi-Final round and head to the final round, which will be held at The Legendary Sector. "
*Uproar!!*
Everyone was excited to hear that the final round will be held at the Legendary Sector and started talking about it with hype.
" Quiet!! Don't waste time and enter the virtual tube. "
Everyone stopped as they entered the virtual tube that appeared beside them from underneath the floor.
...
After entering the Virtual tube, Every student appeared in a small hut with a refreshing smell.
Athan came out from the hut as a fresh breeze blew across his face. The environment around him was also beautiful, as near the hut was a lake and greenery.
He sighed, seeing all these, and said, " Doesn't seem like a virtual world at all. "
[ The Intent Inscribed tablet is sent on top of the table inside the hut, Please start comprehending the intent. ]
[ 4 days, 23:59 Min until the end of the round. ]
Athan entered the hut and sat down before taking a look at the tablet.
The name of the intent was displayed on top of the tablet.
" Ehh...."
Chapter 104 - Arriving At The Legendary Sector
" Profound Impartation Intent?….Looks like an Assist-type Mystic Intent. " Seeing the name, Athan muttered something before he closed his eyes and started to comprehend the intent.
He was quickly absorbed in the training as he started to comprehend the intent.
Time passed by fast as all participants were trying their best to comprehend this intent.
In the Blink of an eye, Two days passed.
Athan opened his eyes with a smile and thought, ' This Intent is indeed awesome. I'll quickly master this intent as it isn't that hard and then also help Avelia to master this Intent. '
The reason for that was because after he and Avelia mastered this intent, His progression speed will increase by training together with her, and he could reach Soul Altar Plane faster to free Tiana from the black whirlpool.
" But should I continue? I've already comprehended this Intent to Elementry Level, and within a minute, I can comprehend it to Intermediate Level. " He thought about it for some time and decided to stop the breakthrough of this intent to Intermediate Level.
" It's better to stay low-key. "
But since there were still three days left, He started to comprehend the Vibration Intent.
Three days passed, and he successfully comprehended it to the Intermediate level.
[ 0 days, 00:01 Min ]
[ 0 days, 00:00 Min ]
[ The Semi-Final round is over. Returning to the Real World. ]
Darkness descended around Athan as he opened his eyes inside the Virtual Tube.
The Tubes opened as everyone came out from it and stood up.
The hologram of the same man also appeared.
" The Semi-Final round is only half over. Now, We will assess your understanding of the Profound Impartation Intent. After the assessment is over, A Hologram will display a list of the Top 50 students who will proceed to the Final Round. "
After he was finished speaking, Five doors appeared on the wall in front of them.
On top of the door, Numbers were displayed.
[ 1 ], [ 2 ], [ 3 ], [ 4 ], [ 5 ]
Right after that, Every student also got a massage in their Digiband.
Athan looked at the massage.
[ Athan-21 ]
" The number displayed is your turn number, Number [ 1 ] to number [ 5 ] students; Enter the respective doors to assess your understanding of the Profound Impartation Intent. "
Hearing the instruction, Five students walked out and entered the doors.
With that, The hologram also disappeared as everyone knew how to proceed from now on.
...
After ten minutes, A student walked out from the 3rd door as the number on top of it changed.
[ 6 ]
Seeing this, The turn number-6 student walked towards the door before entering through it.
After an hour and fifteen minutes, Athan finally saw a room's number change into [ 21 ] and started walking towards it.
The door automatically opened when he arrived near it.
After going inside, He saw an Elder with a white beard clad in a light blue robe sitting on a chair behind a table.
The room was small, and there was nothing special, but it was filled with a calm and refreshing atmosphere.
There were two chairs and a single table inside the room and two big flower vases on each side of the wall.
The Elder sat on the chair behind the table, and another chair was placed before the table for the student.
Seeing Athan entering, The old man spoke with a smile as he gestured Athan to sit on the chair, " Sit and describe to me your understanding of Profound Impartation Intent. Use Mystic Force and imbued it within your words while speaking. "
Athan nodded and sat down on the chair, but he activated his Profound Impartation Intent towards the Elder.
The old man was surprised, sensing the intent, and spoke with a smile, " Kid, It seems like you have already reached Elementry Level in this intent. "
Athan smiled awkwardly and said, " Yeah, It seems like I have a good affinity with this Intent. "
The old man took a deep look at Athan and said with a faint smile, " A genius indeed. From what I sensed, You are not that far from reaching the Intermediate level too. " He then gestured Athan leave while saying, " You are a talented kid. After you reach the Profound Domain Plane, You should lecture your juniors and preach them. "
" Why at Profound Domain Plane? " Athan asked confusedly.
The Elder laughed and said, " You will understand it later. Now go; this old man wants to finish the assessment of other students as fast as possible. "
Athan left the room, and some people were briefly surprised because he didn't spend much time inside the room.
The participants started to mutter.
" Looks like this kid couldn't comprehend much in five days. "
" I am also nervous about the assessment. But I think I can provide a good amount of understanding of Profound Impartation Intent. "
" Anyway, This intent is seriously awesome. The new generation will definitely focus on this intent first and make a group to progress faster together. "
...
Athan walked towards Avelia as both of them waited.
Avelia seemed to be in focus as even after coming out from the tube, She just stood there with her eyes closed.
Athan looked at her and wondered what she was doing.
But at this moment, Avelia opened her eyes and looked at Athan before saying with a smile, " knowing about you, It should have been easy to comprehend this intent for you, right? "
Athan remembered how Avelia took only one month to reach Advanced Level in three intent and spoke with a smile, " Your comprehension ability is also ridiculously fast compared to others if I remember correctly. "
Avelia grinned at the response and said before curling her lips, " Let's have a competition about who can Master this Profound Impartation Intent first. "
She then adopted puppy eyes before saying, " You don't mind if we train together after mastering this intent, right? Our progression speed will increase a lot if we train using this Intent. "
" Sure. I had the same plan in mind. "
Athan responded with a smile as he absolutely needed to do this to increase his progression speed.
" Ahhh, it's my turn. "
Avelia saw her number on a door as she hurried towards it.
...
After seven hours, Everyone was finally assessed, and the hologram also appeared.
" The list of top fifty is out. Among the 200 of you, Five students comprehended the profound Impartation intent to Elementry Level, which is very commendable. "
Afterward, A list appeared, which displayed the fifty names with 1 to 50 numbers beside them.
The top five numbers were written in golden color.
Athan, Avelia, Kinessa, Yahan, and Ruthren.
The other names were in simple black color on the white list.
Many participants sighed and were disappointed as they couldn't find their names on the list.
" Alright, The 50 students will advance to the final round, which will be held at the Legendary Sector. The failed 150 students will be sent back to their academies in a separate spaceship with their rewards. "
A Big door opened at the left wall as the 150 students who did no pass left through it after instructed by the man in the hologram.
Now only 50 students were left in the hall.
The man looked at them with a faint smile and spoke, " We will be reaching the Legendary Sector after an hour by jumping through a big wormhole that is connected to the Legendary Sector. "
The students were excited, and even Athan was eager as he had heard many rumors about the Legendary Sector.
It didn't take long for one hour to pass as the hologram appeared once again.
This time, The man had a serious expression as he spoke, " We are prepared to jump through to wormhole that is connected to the Legendary Sector. Note that You will feel extreme discomfort, and your Energy Realm & Mystic realm will also experience chaos but don't panic and don't try to use your energies. Just...don't do anything and wait for things to calm down. "
Seeing everyone nodding, The hologram of man disappeared, and a countdown appeared.
[ 3 ]
[ 2 ]
[ 1 ]
[ 0 ]
Just as the countdown hit 0, Everyone felt a suppression for a second, but it vanished.
But after two seconds, Every student suddenly trembled, and their face turned white while sweating buckets as they experienced chaos inside them.
They lost control of their energy as they started seething, and their mystic force also drained all of a sudden which caused them headaches.
Athan didn't feel anything wrong with his energies, but his mystic force was drained suddenly, so he also felt uncomfortable.
But as his gaze landed on Avelia, He was shocked. It didn't seem like she was experiencing any discomfort.
Just then, A gentle wave of some kind of power washed over them as it stabilized their chaotic energies and even filled up their Mystic Force that was drained away instantly.
The floor they stood on opened as they all descended and a spectacular place appeared around them.
*siiiiiiiii.....huuuuu....*
Everyone took an involuntary deep breath as all the pores on their body opened, and they felt energized like never before.
One of the students somehow got too excited as he shouted.
" This is fuking awesome!! "
Chapter 105 - Weird Final Round, Astounding Result.
" You might find the final round unfair, But this is the method arranged by one of the Ancestors. Even if you are not in the top 10, You will gain benefits, so nobody needs to feel disheartened for not being selected. "
" Now follow me. "
The 50 students were bewildered after hearing about the details of the Final Round, but they still followed the middle-aged man who appeared in front of them after they descended.
While following, Athan thought, ' I wonder if I will be selected by that method? Up until now, My training has been a bit different than normal people's. '
But he felt that there was no use thinking about it, so he just followed the middle-aged man along with other students while seeing the scenery around them.
After arriving here, Athan's energy Seas became full in just two minutes. The atmosphere looked like one was in heaven to the how-to energize one feels just by breathing the air here.
The ground was filled with patches of grass, and there were no trees or plants seen around.
After they walked for a while, The middle-aged man stopped and pointed his hand at the ground.
A flash appeared, and the ground started to tremble before they all descended with the ground and appeared in an underground cave.
*Woahhh*
The students were surprised to see the scenery in the underground.
The cave was vast, and the most eye-catching things were colorful lights that were flying around.
" Follow me. "
The students snapped out of their reverie and followed the middle-aged to a path inside the cave.
After walking for a while, They arrived in what seemed like a hall, and in the middle of the hall was a throne that was surrounded by a border made from some kind of materials.
The middle-aged man looked at everyone and said, " After I call out your name, Move forward and stand in front of the throne. "
After saying this, The man started walking towards the throne.
Athan saw that the man stopped before standing in front of their throne and did something with his hand before bowing.
Right at that moment, A slight tremor spread across the cave, and a blinding light appeared.
The source of that light was the throne.
After a few seconds, everyone could see clearly.
Athan looked in the front and saw someone sitting on the throne.
That being didn't seem to have any flesh, and it looked like it was formed from energy because of the glow excluded by him/her.
The being's gender could not be recognized due to the colorful lights of energies dancing around his/her.
The middle-aged man who had already returned to where the students were standing spoke, " Athan. "
Hearing his name being called out, Athan started moving towards the throne with nervousness.
But while he was walking, The black whirlpool inside him suddenly released a dense amount of black clouds as they wrapped around his energy seas, crystals, and whole mystic realm.
Inside the black Whirpool, Mimi snorted cutely and muttered, " humph, Guardian Brother doesn't require testing and strengthening from the likes of you. "
Outside, Athan noticed the changes inside his body, but he couldn't do anything now.
He soon arrived in front of the throne and finally saw the face of the being.
' WTF.....' He tried his best not to change his expression and just stood there.
This being had no human face and instead had a face that resembled a human and animal mix. It had a pointy nose which looks weird, but the ears were white and looked fluffy. There was also a slight white fur on both sides of his cheeks.
After a second, The colorful lights surrounded Athan, and he felt as if countless ants were crawling over him.
This went on for five seconds before the lights returned to the being.
Seeing this, The middle-aged man's expression changed for the time as a surprised expression that was filled with confusion appeared on his face.
Athan returned upon hearing the middle-aged man's voice, and he called out Avelia's name next.
In Avelia's case, The colorful lights surrounded her for whole 10 minutes before they returned to the being.
He was a bit surprised, but when he saw that other students also stayed for a long time wrapped around by the colorful lights, A doubt sprouted inside him, ' Could it be due to the black whirlpool? what did it do? '
He had a bad feeling about this, but he suppressed them and waited for the result.
The middle-aged man said that They would be tested according to the method arranged by one of the ancestors, but they were not provided any details about how they would be tested.
Finally, the last student also returned, and the being that appeared on the throne disappeared along with the colorful lights.
The middle-aged man went to the Throne and picked up a white tablet made from rocks before saying.
Ten student's facial features were drawn on the tablet.
" I will now call out the names of the 10 students who will be allowed to train in the blessed land for 1 month while those who are not selected can also train for a month in this Legendary Sector. During this month, You are free to move anywhere you want. You might even get lucky and encounter good fortune. "
Everyone became nervous hearing him as they were still bewildered on how the top 10 students will be selected.
They also remembered what he said before arriving here, That they might find this round a bit unfair.
The middle-aged man then called out names.
" Avelia "
" Yahan "
" Ruthren "
" Kinessa "
" Remo "
" Qinji "
" Uresuel "
" Gerato "
" Inklem "
" And...."
All students whose names were not called out held their breath and prayed that the last name was theirs.
Athan shook his head and smiled bitterly as he knew that his name would not appear and indeed...
" Catherin "
Avelia was most stunned as she couldn't believe that Athan's name was not called out.
She hesitated for a second but decided to speak up, " Could there be any mistake in the results? "
Hearing her, The middle-aged man frowned and looked at her before speaking, " There is definitely no mistake in the results. The being that appeared just now tested your natural talent and potential and also strengthened your foundation before choosing the ten students. "
She was going to speak again but noticed Athan looking at her while shaking his head with a faint smile.
Avelia turned silent for a second, but she spoke with a resolute face, " I would like to give my spot to someone else. "
" Not possible, Only chosen students can practice in the blessed land. "
The middle-aged cruelly refused with a cold voice.
Athan frowned and spoke towards Avelia, " Avelia, You don't need to worry about me. " Pausing here, A confident smile appeared on his face, and he said, " Do you think I won't reach the top if I don't practice in blessed land? I thought you knew me already. "
Avelia was stunned hearing that before a wry smile formed on her face, " Indeed, You will surpass us in these six months even if you just practice anywhere. "
Hearing her words, The students were speechless.
One of the top ten students who looked like a middle-aged man snorted and said, " Now that's some big talk. If you want to praise your boyfriend, then do it at home. It sounds bull shit if you speak such ridiculous things in front of everyone. "
Some students started laughing as they also felt that what Avelia said was too ridiculous.
The middle-aged suddenly interjected them in a loud voice, " The ten of you, Stay here while I escort these forty students to the surface. "
Avelia and others nodded as the middle-aged man led the group of forty students to the surface.
...
After returning to the surface, The middle-aged man said, " The forty of you can move anywhere and can either practice or just roam the lands. You also don't have to worry about danger here, and as I said, You might also encounter some good fortune, so Good luck. "
He then returned while the forty students started to scatter in different directions with excited faces.
Even though they didn't win the seat in the top 10, They were still allowed to stay in Legendary Sector.
Athan also flew away in a random direction.
He was indeed disappointed that he was not selected, and it was due to the black whirlpool.
' Sigh...What's the deal with this black whirlpool? '
Shortly after flying in the same direction, He saw actually spotted a small grass hut.
" Ehh...Could someone be living here? "
With curiosity on his face, Athan descended and observed the hut.
He spread his Mystic Force there to sense if there was something, but he didn't sense anything.
Though for some reason, His mystic force could not go inside the hut.
" Should I go in or not? "
Athan muttered and fell into thought.
After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought, ' Wait, Could it be one of the good fortune mentioned by that middle-aged man? '
With slight nervousness, He started walking towards the hut...
Chapter 106 - Destructive Orb Concept- Successfully Imprinted.
Athan arrived at the entrance of the hut and finally entered.
" haha, I was waiting for you. "
Athan's jaw dropped to the ground when he saw the person sitting inside the hut and the scenery around him.
" Stop standing there and come here. "
Athan smiled wryly and started moving forward while looking around with amazement.
The hut looked really small from outside, but he was shocked to see a completely different scene when he entered.
There was a freaking pond and waterfall while a tea table was placed on the ground on the left side.
It's like the entrance of the hut led to a different space.
The more shocking thing was the person sitting across the tea table.
Athan sat down and looked at the person with doubt, " Senior Rishen, are you-"
Senior Rishen interrupted him and said with a smile, " It doesn't matter who I am, but...It seems like the result of the Final round was disappointing. "
Athan smiled awkwardly but didn't say anything.
' Well, I know it was due to the black whirlpool, but That blessed land or whatever's value can't be compared to what I received from the black whirlpool so far. '
Although he had mixed feelings about the black whirlpool, He felt like he would discover its secrets soon after reaching Soul Altar Plane, and he was confident that his speed of progression would not be lower than those who are practicing in the blessed land.
Seeing Athan's Awkward smile, Senior Rishen spoke with a grin, " Do you want to practice in blessed land? "
Athan was stunned hearing that and didn't know how to answer.
But after a second, He resolutely said, " If it's possible, then...why not? "
Senior Rishen smiled while thinking, ' Well, I was the one who changed the Final Round, so I guess I'll invest him in a bit more as, according to my guess, He had a 1.34% chance to get 10th position if it was the original Final Round. '
He then said with a grin, " Then what are you waiting for? Start the training. " Saying this, He snapped his finger a sound of if something cracked echoed.
Athan was stumped when he heard the first sentence, but after Senior Rishen snapped his finger, He was shocked.
A mystical atmosphere seemed to have descended from above, and he felt energized like never before.
He involuntary closed his eyes after he sensed the atmosphere that seemed to be filled with mystical energy that intoxicated him but in a good way. He felt like his mind was cleared of all distracting thoughts, and his body also felt like it was floating.
Seeing that Athan entered a meditative state, Senior Rishen poured himself a tea and took a sip before thinking, ' Let's see how this monstrous genius progress in this one month. '
After 4 days, Athan opened his with shock contained in it, ' Holy crap, Intermediate level Vibration Intent to Master level in just four days...'
Senior Rishen was drinking a different type of tea compared to four days ago and looked at Athan after he noticed him opening his eyes, " What happened? "
Athan smiled and said, " Nothing, I just comprehended Vibration Intent to Master level. "
Senior Rishen almost sprayed the tea from his mouth and thought, ' According to my estimation, It should take him 7 to 8 days to comprehend that Vibration Intent to Master level...sigh, Looks like I underestimated him. '
" Use your intent and complete the mission. The next mission will be about forming a concept and breaking through to Genesis Conceptual Plane. "
Athan nodded, and he used the vibration intent as the notifications appeared on his Didiband.
[ Main Test completed, 125 Credits Received ]
[ Final Main Test: Form a concept and break the barrier of thoughts---> Rewards: 500 Credits and Middle-Grade Artifact Ticket. ( Time Limit: 1 year ) ]
He then once again entered meditation as he still needed to comprehend Speed Intent and this time, It took him even less time as he comprehended Speed Intent from Intermediate Level to Master Level.
After that, He was ready to form the concept.
He looked at Senior Rishen and said, " I'll be starting now. "
Senior Rishen nodded and said, " There is some minor danger involved if you fail, but nothing will happen with me here. "
Athan then closed his eyes and activated his intents according to what he read in detail regarding the Destructive Orbs.
' First gravity and Attract and then repel on top of them.'
He constructed the fields in front of him according to the details he read.
Afterward came one of the dangerous steps. He controlled his Fire and Water intent and forcefully combined them.
Water and Fire were being combined inside the created fields as they gave off a destructive purple hue.
More precisely, The water and fire were being combined between Repel and Gravity w/ Attract.
He drained all of his energy Water and Fire energy as a big ball of water and fire was slowly being combined and compressed between Repel and Gravity w/ Attract Field.
Fortunately, His control was impeccable, so he didn't mess up as the volatile energies achieved stability.
After that, He brought out Lightning, Air, and Dark Intent as they surrounded the mixed Waterfire ball that looked purple and starts spinning.
He added Speed intent to the spinning Lighting, Air, and Dark energy as their spinning speed increased to a ridiculous level.
Athan almost lost control as he mistakenly brought out too much Lightning, Air, and Dark energy. Still, he stabilized them as the spinning energies slowly combined with their Intents and formed a disk.
The current thing formed in front of Athan looked like a Dark blue disk with a purple ball with a red and blue hue in it.
Now he was totally drained of Fire, Water, Lightning, Air, and Dark energy.
He had a huge amount of them, but now it was compressed in front of him in the form of a purple ball around 3-meter diameter and a dark blue disk.
' Now the last step. '
The vibration intent, He had to add vibration to the spinning disk and the stabilized purple ball.
This step was the most dangerous as the slightest loss of control could result in exploding The Destructive Orb in front of him.
He added the vibration intent as the purple ball once again started to become violent due to the vibration property, and the disk was also vibrating while spinning.
Sweat appeared on his face as he tried his best to control, Especially the purple ball, and after a min, They finally stabilized.
" Phew..." Athan sighed after he was done. Now to make this into a Concept Imprint, He just needed a sufficient amount of Mystic Force.
He gathered all of his Mystic Force and enveloped the Destructive Orb.
After doing this, He closed his eyes and started to assimilate the destructive orb into the Mystic Realm through Mystic Force's use.
He started from the top as he used Mystic Force and started the assimilation process.
The Destructive Orb slowly but surely started to turn faint.
After 5 minutes, Only an extremely faint shadow of Destructive Orb was visible.
But Athan's face turned white as he realized that he fucked up.
It seems that he used more than required Mystic Force while trying to fuse Vibration Intent at the end.
Senior Rishen noticed this instantly as he pointed his finger towards Athan before a golden light shot inside his head.
Athan was surprised to see his Mystic Force recovered in an instant.
He then continued the assimilation process, and in another minute, The destructive orb was fully assimilated inside his Mystic Realm and turned into a Concept.
More specifically, Concept Imprint.
Athan looked inside his Mystic Realm and found a Card that was made up of Mystic Force.
Seeing the card, Athan was overjoyed as he succeeded in forming his First concept.
There was something lifelike printed on the card.
It was the Destructive Orb!!! He successfully formed an imprint of the Destructive Orb concept.
He looked at Senior Rishen and bowed before saying, " Thank you for the help earlier. "
Senior Rishen laughed as he waved his hand and said, " You would've been able to succeed in 2nd try even if you failed. Anyway, Since it's a direct offensive concept, then use it and show me. "
Athan nodded with a smile as he pointed his hand forward.
His various elemental energies were already recovered in a few seconds in this blessed land.
He activated the Concept Imprint in his Mystic Realm as it lit up, and his various energies and mystic force were confused in a small amount to create A Destructive ball in front of him.
The Destructive Orb in front of him was way smaller than the previous one because if he tried to form a more powerful Destructive Orb, then all of his respective energies and a lot of Mystic force would be consumed.
But he could make a few smaller Destructive Orbs.
Seeing the small purple ball in the middle of a dark blue spinning disk, Senior Rishen said, " Alright, Throw it towards me and let me check its power. "
Athan nodded as he knew that Senior Rishen wouldn't get a scratch even if he used The biggest Destructive Orb he could form right now.
The destructive orb shot forward as Athan's fastest attack until now.
Senior Rishen just smiled and stretched his palm forward.
The Destructive Orb collided as it blasted, but before the blast could fully form, Senior Rishen closed his palm, and it seemed he caught the blast inside his hand.
He then caressed his beard while nodding with a smile, " Not bad. But you should know the true use of a concept. Make a good vessel for it in Genesis Conceptual Plane. "
Athan nodded as he knew about the Concept's true use when he read the detailed information about The Destructive Orbs concept.
He thought about something and decided before saying, " I will break through to Genesis Conceptual Plan right now. "
" Alright, You might as well breakthrough at this place as it will be a bit more helpful than breaking through in any other sector. " Seeing that Athan had decided to breakthrough, Senior Rishen said while nodding.
Chapter 107 - Genesis Conceptual Plane, Lucky Awakens.
Athan sensed the barrier of thoughts and activated the Concept Imprint of Destructive Orbs in his Mystic Realm.
The white card started shining as Athan activated its power and crashed it against the barrier of thoughts.
After crashing it four times, He finally broke the barrier.
There was a silence for a brief moment before Athan felt an overwhelming change happening inside his mystic realm.
All of his Mystic Force started to drain as changes started to happen.
NO...It was not mystic Realm anymore as it was entirely being transformed by golden energy that appeared after he broke the Barrier of Thoughts.
The golden energy was known as Genesis Energy.
His Mystic Realm, which has now turned into Genesis Realm, elevated his existence to a higher level in this universe.
Genesis Conceptual Plane!!
Athan opened his eyes as he felt his entire body washed by Genesis Energy.
The reason why it was called Genesis energy was that it could create literally anything you imagine.
Of course, you need to know the things you imagine and a sufficient amount of Genesis Energy.
Athan controlled Genesis Energy and thought of a small sparrow.
A certain amount of Genesis energy gathered as it literally transformed into a life-like bird that started chirping and flying.
But it was not a living being; It had no life and no real substance to rely on to survive as an independent lifeform.
Athan then dispersed the bird.
Genesis Energy is an upgraded form of Mystic Force as it can literally take things out of your imagination and make them happen.
It could support a creation with bare minimum intelligence like that of a beast, but one needs to go through several steps to reach that point.
The Genesis Conceptual Plane has 3 stages and 5 steps of progression.
Stage 1: Genesis Condensation
Stage 2: Genesis Crysalis
Stage 3: Genesis Avatar
After one finally achieves Genesis Avatar, They can start the 5 steps of progression.
1st Step:- Genesis Vessel Outline
2nd step:- Genesis Vessel External
3rd Step:- Genesis Vessel Internal
4th Step:- Genesis Vessel Core
and Final Stage:- Genesis Vessel Conceptualization.
The people of Genesis Conceptual Plane have to go through these five steps not just one time but several times.
Athan opened his eyes after checking all of the new changes.
The Mystic Realm changed into Genesis Realm, and now he can control Genesis Energy.
The Energy Realm was the same as it didn't change after breaking through to the Genesis Conceptual Plane.
But both Energy Realm and his body will have changes as he progresses in Genesis Conceptual Plane.
Right now, He just broke through, and he still needs to stabilize Genesis Energy.
Athan noticed that the genesis energy in the atmosphere was also extremely high, as expected of blessed land.
' I will progress as much as I can while I'm here.'
He then looked at Senior Rishen and said with a smile, " Thank you, senior, for this opportunity. "
Senior Rishen said with shaking his head, " Thank you won't do. I hope to receive a surprise after 23 days. Let's see how far you progress. "
After saying this, Senior Rishen disappeared.
He didn't even use the portal this time and simply faded away.
Athan looked at the spot where Senior Rishen sat and muttered, " Just who are you? ".
He found today that Senior Rishen's identity is not simple at all.
But he didn't delve much on it as there was no use thinking about it.
" First, I'll consolidate my Genesis Energy as it's still roaming untamed in my Genesis Realm. "
He entered the Genesis Realm but was surprised to see Lucky absorbing Genesis Energy.
Seeing Athan, Lucky looked at him and...
*meow*
" Master, I needed to absorb genesis energy to stabilize nya. "
Athan was stunned to hear the cat speaking to him.
He also noticed that Lucky got bigger, From a little kitten to a normal-sized cat, but its cuteness didn't decrease.
The voice he heard was telepathic as it was directly transmitted to him.
"It looks like you gained a lot of things after absorbing the white gold energy. "
Athan smiled and said.
Lucky repeatedly nodded with its small head and said, " Nyaa, That energy is perfect for my evolution. If you have more, then please let me absorb it nya. "
" Alright, But I don't have any of it right now. You have to wait for some time. Anyway, What can you do? "
Athan asked as he knew that Spirit Beasts could help them progress during Genesis Conceptual Plane and further Planes.
But He guesses that Lucky is somehow superior to other normal spirit beasts after absorbing the white gold energy.
" Master, I can help you consolidate the Genesis Energy you obtain. I was already tied to you through bonding by using Mystic Energy, and our connection has been fully formed after I stayed here for a long time. "
*Meow...*
Then lucky pointed its paw towards the genesis energy and Concept Imprint of Destructive Orbs and said, " I can also do other things like managing them and this Genesis Realm. "
" Alright, Help consolidate the Genesis Energy first. "
Lucky nodded its head as he flew around the scattered Genesis Energy and gathered them in one place before sitting in the middle of it.
" Master, I need a bit more Genesis energy to stabilize nya. But the place you are currently at is really mystical. No matter how fast I absorb your Genesis energy, It is instantly filled up nya. "
Athan nodded and said with a grin, " We are in a blessed land on the Legendary Sector, so of course, we don't have to worry about resources. "
He was also excited about this as he could progress much faster here.
' Wait...The surprise mentioned by Senior Rishen...Don't tell me that he wants me to break through to Soul Altar Plane in 23 days? '
Even Athan was stunned by his thinking and shook his head with a mocking laugh, ' As if that's possible. '
But I might be able to form my Genesis Avatar in these 23 days due to the seemingly boundless energies in this Blessed Land.
He didn't waste time and worked together with Lucky to consolidate his Genesis Energy.
Their speed was very fast as they consolidated their current genesis energy in just two minutes.
Just after they were done, More Genesis energy was absorbed by Athan, and they started another round of consolidation.
Basically, They have to continue to consolidate and absorb the genesis energy until Athan can't absorb it anymore.
Normally, This process takes a long time. But since he was in the blessed land and with lucky's help, They successfully absorbed huge amounts of Genesis energy and consolidated them for 2 days without taking any break.
People who have just broken through to Genesis Conceptual Plane have to absorb the genesis energy and consolidate them inside their Genesis Realm. They continue this process until they have reached their capacity and can't absorb any more genesis energy. Thus, They generally do not fight until they have successfully formed their Genesis Crysalis.
After he was done with the Condensation Stage, he thought, ' It's time to form the Crysalis. '
The consolidated Genesis Energy was like a huge golden solid mass in the middle of his Genesis Realm.
Athan controlled Consolidated Genesis Energy and started shaping it into a Vertical Oval form just like a standing egg.
After a few minutes, Athan was done, and now it was time for the final step.
He extracted a drop of his heart blood and a piece of his consciousness.
*Groannn...*
The pain felt by tearing a piece of consciousness was high, but he was fine after one groan as his consciousness started to recover automatically by some kind of energy in this blessed land.
There were also pills to heal consciousness, so it was not strange that he could heal his consciousness in this Blessed land.
He then melded his heart blood and the piece of his consciousness into the egg-shaped Genesis Energy.
After He melded them, Athan clearly felt something forming inside the egg-shaped genesis energy in front of him.
" Looks like it's started. I don't know how many days it will take, but in the meantime, I'll strengthen myself and think about a new concept. "
But before that, He wanted to check the message that he received a few hours ago.
Activating his Digiband, Athan saw some changes.
" [ congratulations for Successfully stepping into the Genesis Conceptual Plane. Final Test Passed ]
[ Reward: 500 Credits + 500 extra due to passing the test early, A Middle-Grade Artifact Ticket. ]
[ Good luck, and don't aim too high or you'll get left behind by others while also wasting your time. One should always know their limit after trying for some time. If you spend too much time in Genesis Conceptual Plane and Soul Altar Plane, it will be hard to progress further while wasting your life span and ultimately dying before reaching Profound Domain Plane. ]
[ It is recommended to build only enough concepts to Strengthen your Avatar to break through to Soul Altar Plane. After breaking through, you can then form your favorite and powerful concepts. ]
[ Additionally, We had hidden more powerful Concepts builds from Origin Intent Students lest they get too excited seeing them and waste their time. Now that you have Ascended to the genesis conceptual Plane, Information about SS and SSS rank concept has been added to the Concept Build Database. ]
Athan was speechless after reading through the whole massage.
He knew that they gain a considerable amount of Life span while progressing through Genesis Conceptual Plane and Soul Altar Plane.
They gain 100 years of life span after successfully forming their Genesis Avatar, and with each refinement by Their different Conceptual Energies, they gain 25 years of life span, but it limits to 100 years. Meaning that after four refinements and getting 100 years, they can't get additional 25 years of life span from the 5th refinement, 6h refinement, and so on.
In Total, They gain a total of 200 years of life span in the Genesis conceptual Plane.
But there are still many people who aim too high and waste time, thus ruining their chances.
" But I am not one of them. " Snorting, Athan started looking through the Concept Build list.
Chapter 108 - SSS Rank Concepts & Avatar For Consciousness.
[ Omega Punch ( By Buster King Rudolf ) ]- SS rank concept.
- Elemental Intent: Earth Intent, Metal Intent, Diamond Intent, Dust Intent, Rubber Intent, Epoxy Intent.
- Mystic Intent: Heavy Intent, Enlarge Intent, Shred Intent, VIbration Intent, Speed Intent, Shatter Intent.
.
[ Chains of Doom ( By Doom Lord Rihik ) ]- SSS rank concept.
- Elemental Intent: Death Intent, Blood Intent, Fire Intent, Epoxy Intent, Air Intent, Cloud Intent, Metal Intent, Space Intent, Time Intent.
- Mystic Intent: Attract Intent, Gravity Intent, Bleed Intent, Transfer Intent, Mireser Intent, Speed Intent, Absorb Intent.
Athan sucked in a breath of cold air, seeing this SSS rank concept.
He saw a button " Details " under each concept which means he can now see the details of the concepts.
Not waiting time, He instantly checked the details of the SSS rank concept, Chains of Doom.
[ Chains of Doom ]
- Control Offensive Concept.
- Once this concept is created, The Chains of Doom can be used to bind the enemy to the user and let them suffer horrible pain and damage, and they can't break the chain unless they are way more powerful than the user.
- Doom is certain if one can't break the chains as when Chains of Doom target enemies, They can absorb some energies from the enemy and transfer them to the user.
...
Athan read all the details, and he was stunned about the effects of Chains of doom. It was a really overpowered concept.
Those powerful Elemental and Mystic Intent were fused to create this lethal concept that won't give up on the enemy unless they die.
The Time Intent and Space Intent fused in the chains of doom could mess up the opponent's various functions if he didn't deal with them soon enough.
" The difficulty is also very high, but I can do it. "
He continues to read the concepts and found some very unique concepts.
[ Hyper Overdrive ( By Martial King Yuwuan ) ]- SSS rank concept.
- Requirement: At least 5000 Strength and 5000 Constitute.
- Elemental Intent: Lightning Intent, Wood Intent, Blood Intent, Water Intent, Space Intent, Air Intent, Light Intent, Life Intent.
- Mystic Intent: Seeth Intent, Speed Intent, Shatter Intent, Stretch intent, Wave Intent, Mireser Intent, Boxing Intent, Lightness Intent. ( This lightness is opposite of Heavy )
Athan pressed the detail button to check the information about this concept.
[ Hyper Overdrive ]
- Self-Enhancement Concept.
- This concept is used on oneself or a powerful Vessel to strengthen their Physical Power.
- The use is simple, but the process is complex.
- After enhanced by this concept, The user can deliver devastating attacks imbued space shock waves that could shatter anything below a certain power threshold ( depends on the user ).
...
Athan read the whole thing and was astounded by this concept.
" This is damn op. "
He continued to read as he found more unique and powerful concepts.
[ Mark of Hunt ( By Venator King Ursu ) ]- SSS rank concept.
- Elemental Intent: Space Intent, Time Intent, Shadow Intent, Dark Intent, Epoxy Intent, Blood Intent.
- Mystic Intent: Hollow Intent, Connect Intent, Detect Intent, Connive Intent, Channel Intent, Observe Intent.
" This concept is SSS rank even tho it has a lower amount of Intent fused. guess the numbers don't matter, but their actual uses and how useful they are. "
He then looked at the details of this Intent.
[ Mark of Hunt ]
- Curse type Offensive Concept
- After forming this Concept, The user can use it to mark the enemy.
- Unless the marked enemy is very powerful, they can't detect the Mark of Hunt.
Using this Mark, the User can know the enemy's general location and even observe what the target is doing through the feed window created by Hollow Intent, Connect Intent, Observe Intent inside the user's Mind.
- If the marked enemy is within a certain range, The user can use long-range attacks to hit the target from afar.
...
Athan admitted that this concept deserves SSS rank after seeing all the details.
There were also assist-type concepts that Athan found to be useful.
[ Myriad Curative Lotus ( By Lotus Lady Aadhya ) ]- SSS rank concept.
- Elemental Intent: Life Intent, Blood Intent, Time Intent, Wood Intent, Water Intent, Light Intent, Waliod Intent.
- Mystic Intent: Slow Intent, Stasis Intent, Spread Intent, Divide Intent, Cleanse Intent, Numb Intent, Extract Intent.
Athan also read the details of this concept and found that it was a powerful healing concept that could cure almost every kind of alignment wound and cure them.
" Awesome, But I like offensive and maneuver concepts more. " Athan then found another SSS rank concept; He was not looking at SS rank concepts at all.
[ Flicker Mirages ( By Celerity Emperor Eniluzia ) ]- SSS rank concept.
- Elemental Intent: Space Intent, Lightning Intent, Sound Intent, Fire Intent, Water Intent, Earth Intent, Air Intent, Steam Intent.
- Mystic Intent: Speed Intent, Propel Intent, Lightness Intent, illusion Intent, Connive Intent, Phase Intent, Connect Intent, Hollow Intent, Warp Intent.
...
After Athan read every detail about Flicker Mirages, He instantly wanted to work on this concept because he feels that it's really powerful.
Using this concept, his speed can be increased several times, and he can produce mirages of himself, and he can use this concept's conceptual energy to exchange places with mirage and also blast the mirage to damage the enemy.
" Sigh...But I can't work on concepts with the same Elemental Intents I used in forming my Destructive Orbs concept. "
He then thought, ' It looks like creating my own concept will be a stretch for me. I will create my own concept after reaching Soul Altar Plane. So, for now, I'll just study one of the SSS rank concepts while progressing in Genesis conceptual Plane. '
...
After Athan read all of the SSS rank concepts, He started eating Origin pills of various Elements.
*crunch...crunch..*
While he was eating pills, The black whirlpool was absorbing their energies.
His Energy Realm has become big enough to hold quite many Energy Seas, so he didn't need to worry about being full.
" But it will be a headache to comprehend Intents of so many elements. " Athan muttered while eating the pills.
Inside the Black Whirlpool
" It's been a long time since I ate that big sister's food...sigh. And big sister Tiana is also practicing all the time. "
Mimi pouted and scooped some water from the White lake before falling to sleep on her bed.
...
Outside, Athan had finished eating the last Origin Pill, which was of Origin Mercury Pill.
After a while, One energy after another came out from the back whirlpool as they started refining Athan's body.
But his physical strength didn't increase due to those refinements and only received affinities as his current physical body can only be refined by Unique Conceptual Energies, which he will have to cultivate after his Genesis Avatar is formed.
After a few hours, His energy Realm was filled with colorful floating crystals spinning and gathering energy.
Thunder Crystal, Mercury Crystal, Toxic Crystal, Life Crystal, Death Crystal, Epoxy Crystal, Magma Crystal, Dust Crystal, Steam Crystal, Magnate Crystal, Radiate Crystal, Glass Crystal, Mud Crystal, Plasma Crystal, etc...
Athan took a deep breath after seeing all the crystals.
" Damn, I have to comprehend so many Intents....uhh, but anyway, My comprehension speed will increase after my avatar is formed. "
Muttering this, Athan shook his head and went to take a look inside his Genesis Realm.
The Genesis Crysalis was still absorbing Genesis energy automatically.
Athan could also feel a strong connection with it.
" Looks like the blessed land is increasing the forming process by quite a lot. From the way I'm seeing, It should be done in a few hours. "
But before he could go back, He saw Lucky flying above the Crysalis and sat down.
" Master, It will not take a few hours but a few minutes. Just watch nya. "
After lucky sat down on top of the Crysalis, Athan clearly saw that the speed of absorbing Genesis energy by the Crysalis increased dramatically.
Athan's eyes went wide as he asked with a shock, " How did you do it? "
*Meoww....*
Lucky meowed happily, seeing Athan shocked and said proudly, " Nyaaa...I am a Spirit Beast, and I have natural ways to absorb such energy types because we have the highest affinity for them nya. After I absorbed that white gold energy, I triggered some evolution which caused my power to increased a lot, so it's easy for me to do something like this nya. "
" Ohh..." Athan nodded with a smile and thought, ' Looks like lucky is really very mystical and different from other spirit beasts. '
After a few minutes, Cracks started to appear on the Crysalis.
Seeing this, Lucky floated away from it.
*crack...crack..*
In a few seconds, The cracks start to spread, and finally, the whole chrysalis fell apart and revealed an energy body that looked the same as Athan's physical appearance.
Athan was excited seeing this as he directly injected his whole consciousness inside the Avatar.
After all, His consciousness didn't have a proper shape inside his body as it looked just like a foggy thing.
Right after he activated his Avatar by entering his consciousness inside it, Changes started to happen.
First of all, His perception changed as he felt his mind strengthening. He could also control Genesis energy better, and his speed of absorbing genesis energy also increased.
This time, Athan spoke properly with a mouth after finally getting a " body " for his consciousness, " Now my comprehension speed will also increase. "
He could not help but laugh as he thought of his progression speed in the next 22 days.
