The Tale of the Void Emperor
chapter-326

" Since you have finished your training, let me lead you to your temporary home until the Penta regional tournament starts. About the Demon Xubaji whose pupil you killed..."

Mr. Devon paused here before grinning, " You don't have to worry about that case anymore. Our Lord has already solved that problem for you. But She also has a high expectation of your performance in the upcoming Penta regional tournament because this Penta regional tournament is slightly different than previous ones. "

Athan looked at Mr. Devon before he faintly smiled, " Weather your Lord has a high expectation of me or not, I will perform what I consider my best. "

Mr. Devon smiled wryly hearing that, and nodded.

He then opened a passage with a wave of his hand as they arrived at another hall with a portal in it.

" Go inside the portal. The whole mini pocket dimension is your home. It's not that big, but it's a good place for you to train for the upcoming tournament. Also, If you find another portal or a space rift inside, Then don't enter even by mistake. Just find a good spot and start training to absorb the benefits of meta-aerodite pool. Though, you already know that your final progress will depend on your comprehension and order grasping ability. "

" Alright. "

Saying this, Athan entered inside the portal.

Somewhere in the Underground system...

There was a medium-sized hall about fifty square meters big.

In the middle of this hall was a pond. Near this pond was a beautiful woman sitting on a comfortable and soft cushion chair with a fishing rod in her hand.

The pond looked mystical as its border had pale blue wisps of dreamy smokes, and its water was deep blue with its depth unknown.

The water was still with not a single ripple on it except the occasion ripples produced when the woman moved the fishing rod.

The woman's eyes were closed, and she was leaning on the comfortable chair while gripping the fishing rod.

She looked completely human with not a single additional inhuman feature on her body. She had an angelic shape body figure and looked very beautiful with her natural ash-blonde-colored long hair.

Her lips were light pink and big that matched her beautiful and flawless face. There was a light gold mark on her forehead and two long and round ear cuffs on her two ears.

Suddenly at this time, A wooden door slowly materialized In front of the woman but at the other side of the pond.

But instead of someone coming out from it, A sound of knocking echoed in the hall.

*knock knock...*

" May I come in? "

A voice of another woman came from the materialized door. The voice was soothing and comfortable to hear as if listening to peaceful music of zither.

A faint smile appeared on the woman who was fishing in the pond while sitting on the chair.

She opened her eyes and looked at the door before saying in a reprimanding tone, " You are late, Ayurin."

A sound of melodious chuckling came from the door before it opened and an equally beautiful woman arrived in the hall.

She wore a beautiful dress with white material and some light yellow and light brown designs on it. The dress covered her whole body, and it had multiple thin layers that swayed to the sides along with long sleeves.

Her long black hair was braided with an array of small beautiful flowers, and her dark blue eyes looked mystical but captivating.

" I had some matters to attend to and also to swat away an annoying fly who was after me, which took some time. Anyway, How did the competition go, Valeria? " Said Ayurin as she walked towards Valeria and took out a chair and a fishing rod.

After sitting on the chair, Ayurin also started fishing in the pond like Valeria.

" There was a surprise in a competition. But for you, it can be considered as a slightly bad surprise, Hehehe. "

Hearing what Valeria said, Ayurin raised her eyebrows in surprise, " What happened? "

Valeria grinned at Ayurin before saying, " Sen lost. She didn't get the first rank in the competition. "

" Uhh..." Ayurin slightly frowned before realizing the bad surprise, " Wait for a second...Do you mean that someone other than Sen took the rewards we prepared for her? That epic grade chaotic spirit and meta-aerodite pool? "

" Indeed. " Valeria nodded while smiling.

Ayurin was speechless and said with a wry expression, " You could just change the content of the reward and give Sen those two things in private. "

" Nope. Since we decided that rank one would get it, then I didn't change the content. Anyway, The champion is somewhat interesting. Do you know what his order base was? "

Hearing the question, Ayurin felt once again speechless, " Obviously, the champion has to be at the very peak of Tier-1 order base and Red realm 1st step body strength just like Sen. Though I still find it hard to believe that Sen lost. "

Valeria shook her head while smiling, " What's hard to believe in that? You should know there is always a higher mountain and a bigger sea than what we've seen. Even I know some Tier-1 order base kids who can beat Sen. Anyway, The strength of the champion was only at the third stage of the Tier-1 order base and body strength at the Red realm 3rd-step. "

" What! Impossible. "

Ayurin replied instantly in disbelief, with her melodious voice turning a bit higher.

" Hahaha. That was my reaction when I saw Sen getting defeated. But that boy indeed has a mystical physique that can be considered overpowered in his current stage. It's likely of a very high grade, and that's why Sen also couldn't defend against it. "

Pausing here, Valeria turned her attention back to the pond, " Anyway, I felt that If his order base and body strengthed increased more, then he can perform exceptionally well in the upcoming Penta regional tournament. You should know that this tournament is different and important than the previous ones. "

Ayurin's face turned slightly serious as she asked, " So they are really going to observe this tournament, huh? "

" Yep. It looks the chain effect really started because of that move from Great Bridgade Palace. "

At this time, The string on Ayurin's fishing rod moved.

This small change brought a big change in the expression of Ayurin and Valeria.

" Damn! What's wrong with your luck? You just arrived here and already got one stuck in your bait while I am sitting here for the whole day and haven't even caught a single one yet. "

Valeria spoke with disappointment and sadness.

On the other hand, Ayurin had a joyful smile on her face as she carefully pulled the reel in to catch the fish.

" Don't worry, hehehe. I will give you a bite after getting it cooked by Talenish. Anyway, You can call her here while I catch this spirit order fish. "

" Oh...You already sensed it? If it's a spirit order one, It will be very delicious. But...Talenish, that girl is not here right now. It will take one more day before she comes here. How about I cook it? "

" No! I would rather eat it row than you making it into your usual incredibly delicious dish. "

Hearing this, Valeria pouted, " Fine! Then it's your responsibility to keep it fresh for one day. "
