The Tale of the Void Emperor

chapter-149
Athan sent everyone inside the special space so they could gear up their pets because the time given to them was still five minutes.
Only a few seconds were left for the next round to start when they came out, so they disappeared in few seconds to fight their next matches.
After a while, Everyone came back as they won their matches easily, and Athan also returned with a win as he got a new pet and evolution stone.

...
There was no suspense in this trial as they won all their next matches with ease.
One unique thing about this trial was that it let more participants enter the trial when others were eliminated ( dead ) after losing 3 times.
They would also get an option to quit the trial after winning every three matches, and if they decided to quit, they would get the final reward.
But to receive the grand reward, They have to get 9 wins.
After many rounds, Tiana, Avelia, and Qerin acquired 9 wins first and received the grand reward.
The grand reward turned out to be a single fruit that had mango's shape but was light gold in color and had pure white patterns.
Athan [ 8 wins, 1 loss ], Tian [ 9 wins, 0 loss ], Avelia [ 9 wins, 0 loss ], Qerin [ 9 wins, 0 loss ], Mike [ 8 wins, 1 loss ]
The funny thing was that Mike was matched against Athan once again, and in their next fight, Athan won.
At this time, Athan and others were at their usual place, and the next round was going to start in five minutes. But Tiana, Avelia, and Qerin can't participate anymore since they won 9 matches, and they would automatically leave the trial zone after 10 minutes.
Tiana spoke while looking at the fruit in her hand, " Athan, send us into the special space. Avelia, Qerin, and I will eat the fruit and see its effect. Since it's a grand reward, it can't be bad. "
" Alright. " Athan nodded and sent them into the special space while he and Mike waited for their next round.
When only a few seconds were left for the round to start, Mike suddenly thought of something as he grinned and said, " haha, I just had a funny thought. What will happen if we are matched against each other again? "
The round started as they both disappeared.
Mike and Athan looked at their opponents and heaved a sigh seeing that they were not matched against each other.
...
Both Athan and Mike won their matches easily and left the trial zone before entering the special space.
Tiana, Avelia, Qerin were still sitting closed-legged with their eyes closed. Both Athan and Mike could feel surging soul energy around them.
" Looks like this fruit's gonna strengthen our soul by a large margin. "
Athan nodded with a grin as this was what they most needed, " I suppose Ruler Plane existences need powerful soul or something related to the soul as one the requirements to breakthrough or they are giving rewards based on what winners needs the most. "
" Anyway, Let's eat our fruits too. "
Both Athan and Mike also ate their fruits and sat down as their soul started to strengthen.
After a while, Tiana, Avelia, and Qerin opened their eyes. But Qerin was rubbing her head with a painful expression.
Tiana and Avelia noticed this.
" What happened Qerin? " Tiana asked with concern.
Qerin shook her head while rubbing it and said, " I don't know, But I am having a splitting headache and..."
She stopped as her face turned white, and cold sweat appeared due to intense pain inside her head.
Avelia and Tiana were worried and tried to inject the white gold energy inside her, but it seems that it couldn't cure her intense headache, and Qerin soon fainted.
On the other hand, Athan and Mike opened their eyes with smiles as Mike laughed and said, " Hahaha, the fruit was really a grand reward. Our soul body increased by 7 whole meters. "
" Indeed. We are close to getting our soul body to 20 meters and use our soul quirks [ Soul Birth ]. " Athan said.
" You two, Something happened to Qerin, and she fainted. We tried to use the white gold energy, but it seems that she wasn't injured and fainted for another reason. " Said, Tiana. She guessed that Qerin wasn't injured because if she was injured then the white gold energy would've healed her.
Mike panicked as he dashed towards Mimi's bed where Qerin was sleeping.
Athan also arrived there with a frown and thought of a possibility, ' Could it be that she is regaining her memories? '
" Calm down, Mike. If she were injured, then white gold energy would've healed her. But since white gold energy did nothing, it means that she is fine and will wake up soon. "
Hearing Athan's words, Mike calmed down, but he was worried internally.
' Could it be that she is regaining her memories? ' Mike thought worriedly, ' Please don't forget me, Qerin. ' He kept saying this inside his head and waited.
It didn't take long as Qerin woke up after ten minutes.
Mike grabbed her hand and looked at her nervously before saying, " Qerin...Do you remember me, right? Right? "
Athan, Tiana, and Avelia could understand him, and they also looked at Qerin.
Qerin smiled and said, " Of course I remember you, idiot. Why would I forget you? " But her eyes were a bit complicated.
Mike hugged her as he smiled with a silly face, " Yeah. You will never forget me. "
" Alright, guys. Let's take a break. " Saying this, Athan snapped his finger with a smile, and both Mike and Qerin disappeared as he sent them their house on the mountain.
Afterward, Tiana, Avelia, and Athan also went to their house on another mountain.
Mimi and Lucky were playing with altar spirits behind the mountain ranges, and she noticed them going towards their house.
" Lucky, Let's go and see what they are doing. Mimi is curious. "
" Nyaaa...We shouldn't go there...I think. " Lucky shook its cute head and sat on Mimi's head before saying, " Let's continue our game. This time, Me, Yinu, and Lucent will find you all. "
They completely changed the scenery behind the mountain range to play their games.
There were lots of giant trees, and the underground was also burrowed with holes. Athan had also build rides and tunnels for them some time ago, so they spent most of their time here.
