The Tale of the Void Emperor
The Tale of the Void Emperor - Chapter 97: The Tour----No Title.

After the lecture was over, Everyone returned to their handmade houses.

...

Athan and Avelia were sitting in front of each other while eating the food.

The environment was peaceful as cool breezes were blowing on the tree's giant trunk where they sat on as they enjoyed hot delicious exotic dishes cooked by Avelia.

The birds were flying in the sky and were playing tag; Yep, they were playing tag.

These birds were the same magical beast that Athan and Tiana encountered in another giant tree beside this one when they first arrived in this area.

While eating, A thought suddenly sprung in Avelia's mind, ' How good it would be if I can spend my whole life like this with Athan. '

But as soon as this thought appeared, she was shocked and denied it right away.

With a complicated expression, she thought, ' Looks like I really enjoyed the last 2 months with Athan when he became more open to me, But...I can't abandon my goal. '

She then looked at Athan's face, which looked more handsome to her than previously.

Sensing her gaze, Athan asked with a confused expression, " Is something wrong? "

Avelia's face turned a bit red as she shook her head before saying with a smile, " Nothing, I just thought that this place is so beautiful now that look at it closely. "

Athan also nodded with a smile and said, " True, It would be perfect if Tiana was also here and enjoyed this lifestyle and food. "

Avelia's lips twitched, but she smiled and said, " Yep, I would also like to meet your wife someday. "

" That day will definitely come soon. " Athan spoke in a resolute voice.

...

After they finished eating, Athan went back on comprehending Intents while Avelia went inside the treehouse with dishes.

After he sat down crossed leg, Athan thought, ' The tournament will begin in 4 months, so I'll have to hurry and master as much--'

His thoughts cut off as he fell into the portal, but he was already used to this, so when he appeared at Senior Rishen's place from another portal, He landed perfectly on his two feet and stood on the ground without losing balance.

" I have some bad news Little Athan. "

Athan turned around to face Senior Rishen before sitting on the chair that He put in front of him.

Seeing this, Senior Rishen said while shaking his head, " There are more changes to the tournament. Cluster Union suddenly rejected the suggestion of reward change in the Origin Plane Tournament. "

Surprised, Athan asked, " Why? Wasn't it accepted before? Now, are they going back on their words? "

Senior Rishen shook his head and said, " They feel that the reward is too much only if this batch of Origin Plane students participates in it, and it's indeed true because the reward at that place is enough to let top 10 students ascend to Genesis Conceptual Plane, but The new batch of students haven't comprehended Intents to Master level yet though some have done that but only one or two at best so it is not worth to let the newbie Origin Plane students enjoy such high-quality rewards. "

Athan nodded in understanding as he felt that it was logical, but he had a doubt, " Then why did those two academies put forth this reward increase suggestion in the first place? "

Senior Rishen smiled and said, " Because they had a backhand, They had secretly cultivated their sons or grandchildren for years or at least for 30 years to make them powerful and then registered them in the newbie batch so they could enjoy this luxurious reward, I also had no problem because with your capabilities you could at least take a spot in the top 3, but Cluster Union rejected this and put forth a new proposal regarding this tournament. "

After he finished saying this, Senior Rishen smiled wryly.

" The new proposal is that instead of the only a new batch of Origin Plane Students, The other students of Origin Intent Plane will also be eligible to participate in this tournament. "

Athan's eyes widened a bit as he asked, " So that means some students who can breakthrough to Genesis Conceptual Plane this year might not break the barrier of thoughts to ascend the plane and instead participate in the tournament for the rewards? "

Senior Rishen nodded while caressing his beard " Indeed, The rewards are that good. You can progress significantly faster there, and another reason why everyone is hellbent on the Legendary sector is to acquire Chaotic Spirits. "

It was the first time that Athan heard of Chaotic Spirits.

" Chaotic Spirits? What are those? "Athan asked out of curiosity as it kinda sounds powerful.

Senior Rishen smiled and said, " Chaotic Spirits are chaotic. We don't know how they are created or birthed. They only appear very rarely and to encounter one is harder than reaching heaven. We believe that they come from the so-called mysterious place that is connected to the Legendary Sector. "

" Anyway, now that the difficulty has increased, you might need not even get into the top 10, but we will still nurture you, so here you go. "

Saying this, Senior Rishen pointed his figure towards Athan's forehead as a golden light shot out from it.

Athan closed his eyes to look at the things he received from Senior Rishen.

...

After looking through the spell and The flowing method he received from Senior Rishen, Athan opened his eyes.

But he was a bit surprised that he appeared at his treehouse, " Looks like senior Rishen Sent me back when I was looking through the information, but how come I didn't notice? "

' He must have his means. Anyway, Let's focus on training because...' His eyes turned sharp as he muttered, " If getting into the top 10 can make me progress faster, then I have no intention of backing down. "

He sat down crossed leg before directly starting to comprehend Air Intent.

...

The season didn't change, but days passed in this peaceful environment.

After three days, Athan comprehended Air Intent to Advanced level, but he didn't end his comprehension session and started to comprehended Dark Intent.

To get Dark Intent to Advanced Level, Athan took a total of four days.

After he was done, He activated his Digiband to enter the Virtual World to buy detailed information regarding the Destructive Orbs concept.

He had comprehended more than one intent to master level so he could buy the information already.

Coincidentally, Avelia also entered the virtual world to buy the ingredients at the same time as Athan.

Inside the virtual world, Athan and Avelia both appeared simultaneously and in front of each other, too, as they stayed at the same place in the real world.

Both of them were surprised at such a coincidence as they couldn't help but laugh.

Avelia smiled as she seemed particularly happy.

" Are you here to buy something? ahh...stupid me, of course, you would be here to buy something in the virtual world. "

Athan nodded and said with a smile, " Yep, To buy detailed information about the concept I am aiming for to pass the main test. "

" Let's go together; I also have to buy some ingredients. " Avelia said as she grabbed Athan's hand and was going to walk towards the public market before she suddenly stopped.

She let go of Athan's hand and said with a nervous face, " This...I am sorry, I grabbed your hand like this. "

' Now Athan must be mad at me, Darn me. But I was just so happy at the prospect of going shopping with Athan that I couldn't hold my self back. '

Athan was speechless, ' It seems that she is still concerned about my impression of her. '

Shaking his head, He smiled and said, " Chill, I consider you as my friend, so that much is ok. "

Avelia was surprised as a sweet smile blossomed on her face.

She grabbed Athan's hand once again and said, " Let's go then. I won't take too much of your time because I know you are working hard to...meet your wife once again. "

She then started to walk towards the Public Market while thinking, ' I can't feel jealousy, But only envy seeing you so focused on practising and training for your wife, Ahhh how I wish you would also love me that way and that much. '

Her thoughts were interrupted by a handsome man who had shorts, brown hair and a good body build.

He saw Avelia appearing and ran towards her with a bouquet that contains various kinds of beautiful flowers.

" Miss Avelia, You are here again. These flowers are for you. Please accept them this time as I have specifically travelled to many planets to collect them. "

Avelia's expression turned to extreme annoyance as she thought, ' Bastard, Stop wasting Athan's precious time. '

She grabbed the bouquet from his hands which brought him a smile, but before He fully formed his smile, Avelia threw the bouquet at her feet before stepping on them.

Although they were in the virtual world, the real-world things could be brought here too, Just like clothes and other things as Digiband Automatically scans them.

The surrounding people knew Avelia as a famous beauty and the daughter of the current lord of the Zenford Family, so there were already pursuers of her.

The man also noticed Athan and changed his demeanor before asking with a smile, Not minding that his flowers were destroyed by Avelia, " Miss Avelia, who is this gentleman? "

Athan frowned a bit and was going to release his hands from Avelia's grip when she grabbed his hand tighter and spoke angrily towards the man, " It's none of your damn business who he is. Now don't disturb me. "

She then ignored them all and ran towards the Public Market. Her clothes changed into a simple black robe while running.

After a few seconds, She stopped before turning to Athan, " I'm sorry, These useless men are really so annoying. Instead of focusing on important things, they waste their time impressing girls with their good looks out of lust. "

She made an apologetic face towards Athan, who shook his head and said, " Let's go and finish what we are here to do. "

A grey robe also appeared over him as they both hurriedly finished their shopping.

After buying the detailed information of Destructive orbs, They returned to the real-world.

He didn't waste time and directly started looking at the information he brought.

Avelia looked at Athan with a sad expression before she also closed her eyes and started training.

She appeared sad because when she asked Athan if he wanted to eat, He said he didn't want to eat and directly sat down before closing his eyes.
