The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 481: Girl\'s talk, Record Break.

The effect that Athan told Jakan to add in the bangle was Hamela\'s Blessing.

The bangle with that effect will increase the defense of any defensive technique by 10%.

After crafting the bangle, It also turned into perfect-grade 4-star equipment, granting it an additional effect of speeding up the recovery of healing techniques by 5%.

After taking both items, Athan went to the Newbie Event Palace as he thought that he might as well break the 4th event\'s record and take its rewards.

...

While Athan was away doing his things, Shiromi, Sen, Tealery, and Linci were talking about Athan while putting a barrier around them.

" I-I give up on Athan. I liked him and still like him, but he seems...just too far. " Tealery spoke with a weak smile; she then shook her head and said, " Arcued is good, we battled together a lot in the test, and we also have a sort of bond between us. But I don\'t know what to do. "

" Anyway, Sen. Why don\'t you confess to Athan? It\'s pretty clear to everyone that you love him. " Tealery elbowed Sen and said.

Sen boldly chuckled before speaking, " I want to but, I will not tell him that. "

Shiromi asked with doubt, " Why? "

Sen looked at Shiromi and grinned, " You should know why. He just doesn\'t look at me that way. You also like him, right? "

" I...don\'t know. " Shiromi shook her head, " He is indeed an extraordinary person, and you can\'t help but get attracted to him. Especially after his recent change when he came out of the cacoon. Also, since that time, I feel like he found his goal or something like that and is moving towards it. "

Sen\'s eyes twinkled as she spoke, " Yeah, He is so cool. And powerful beyond common sense. I-I...really want to go to new heights with him. "

" Mhmm...He is very powerful and...captivating. " Linci muttered as she remembered her interaction with Athan at the pool, " My heart beat faster, and I get nervous when thinking about him. "

Shiromi, Sen, and Tealery looked at each other before they all chuckled while looking at the naive-sounding Linci.

" Oh Linci, you are falling for him. Hehehe..." Sen said with a chuckle.

Linci\'s face turned red before she coughed and said, " What about his family? You all didn\'t talk about it yet. "

" His family..." Sen muttered before shaking her head, " No one knows about his family or his past. He never told anyone about it yet. "

Shiromi nodded, " I only know one thing about him since he is from the same organization as I am. That thing is that...he is from a universe. "

" Yeah, That\'s all we know. " Sen nodded in agreement as she looked at Linci and asked, " Linci, you are from Upper Chaosverse, right? or is it just rumors. "

" Eh...I am indeed from Upper Chaosverse. But I haven\'t really gone out to see more of Upper Chaosverse because I stayed inside our family land surrounded by a powerful barrier all the time....err..yeah. " Linci smiled at the end and didn\'t continue.

" Alone...right? " Tealery asked with a sad expression before she shook her head and turned her face to a happy one, " But no need to worry now. Athan solved your problem. "

" Yeah. " Linci smiled happily, " Because of him, I will be able to meet my mother when I return to Upper Chaosverse. "

" Alright, girls. We have talked enough now. Let\'s work hard and continue training. " Sen clapped as she spoke with determination.

Shiromi and others nodded as they started training.

...

After several hours, Linci, Sen, Shiromi, Tealery opened their eyes at the same time as they received a notification in their crystal card.

Seeing it, Linci chuckled and said, " It looks like Athan broke my record and created his own All-time high record of [ Race to the Peak ] newbie event. Well, I knew that he would break it someday. "

" What\'s the reward for breaking that record? " Sen asked with curiosity.

" It\'s a simple reward of 5000 high-grade chaos stones. " Linci said casually.

But Shiromi, Sen, and Tealery were shocked, " That much? We can even use high-grade chaos stones for anything now. " Tealery spoke with a wry smile.

" Yeah, but these will be useful when Athan breaks through to Zen order. " Shiromi spoke with a smile.

" That\'s true. " Sen nodded, " Anyway, let\'s continue with our training. Athan should also be returning now and will continue with his training. "

Indeed, Athan was returning to Efyeed.

After he returned, he sat down under Efyeed and started training.

...

On the other hand, The group of Illias and others from Chaos Monolith Hills and Munvald, Coddys, and others from Great Bridgade Palace were sitting in the Star-Breaker Hill Faction\'s Hill Palace.

" Hey, Illias, I told you to find me about the price of sitting under that chaos enlightenment tree, remember? Did you find about it? I have a special ability due to my family ancestor in the Upper Chaosverse, but I don\'t have an innate physique like you all. " Coddys asked Illias as he took out five strange-looking stones.

" I have gathered these five high-tier gemstones. I bet they are enough to let me have one entry to get a chance at the chaos enlightenment tree. " Coddys grinned as he showed the gemstones that glowed with power.

But after hearing him, Illias, Maejas, Crisenia, and other people from chaos monolith hill\'s face turned complicated.

Maejas shook his head and spoke with a hollow laugh, " Those five gemstones could indeed give you one entry at Chaos enlightenment tree if you came here one and a half years ago. "

Coddys frowned, " Why not now? "

" Well, that\'s because Efyeed, the chaos enlightenment tree, has finally found a new master after all these years. Now, if you want to use the benefits of the chaos enlightenment tree, you will have to ask the current master of Efyeed. " Crisenia answered with a wry smile.

Illias nodded as he spoke with a grimace, " And the current master of Efyeed is the same kid who we told you about yesterday. The one who killed a zen order master from my hill faction despite being at Orderic Catastrophe. "
