The Tale of the Void Emperor

In the new hall of Orphanage, Athan and others were eating the food prepared by Mrs. Ralph and Qerin.

" So? How is it, Mike? It's tasty, right? " Qerin winked at Mike and asked with a smile.

Mike was stuffing the food in his mouth while nodding his head with a surprised expression.

" Dang it. You really nailed it this time. The food is very delicious, Way better than your previous disgu--cough, I mean way better than your previous....average dishes. "

Everyone laughed hearing that as Athan also smiled but suddenly remembered the cooking of Avelia that was on LVL 9999.

Shaking his head, He thought resolutely, ' I will definitely fulfill her wish after I get strong. '

After eating, Athan, Mike, and Qerin bid farewell to Mrs.Ralph and the kids before they started moving towards the Thunder-Fire Valley.

...

Inside the main chamber of the Sect Master, Lafurge and Valley Master had smiles on their faces as they talked with Athan.

" Haha, Athan, You are giving me the same feeling as Qerin. I can't help but get tense involuntary.

Hearing Lafurge's words, Athan smiled while shaking his head because he can't do anything about it.

" Master, I will be leaving with Athan when he retur---"

Before Mike could finish his words, Valley Master interrupted him and said in a scolding tone with a smile, " You don't need to take permission from me, hahaha. You are already stronger than me. "

Hearing this,  Mike shook his head and said seriously, " I have to. You've cared for me all this time, so I can't disregard you even if I'm stronger than you. I will always be your disciple. "

Valley Master smiled bloomed like a chrysanthemum flower as he felt that taking Mike as his disciple was the best decision he made in his life.

All of them talked for some time before Athan, Mike and Qerin left the Thunder-Fire valley as Mike led Athan towards Origin Forest, where he and Qerin would usually stay and train.

They arrived at an open ground filled with grass where a wooden house was built while its surroundings had lots of bamboo trees and a small waterfall on the left said that formed a small river.

Mike grinned at Athan and said, " It's time for my usual lessons from Qerin. What are you gonna do now? "

" I also need to train for a while. After I finish it, I'll teach you two a good method to get strong faster and together. "

Mike and Qerin were surprised to hear that and nodded with anticipation.

" Alright, We definitely want to get strong faster, bro. Let us know when you are done, and we will start with your method right away. "

Athan nodded as he took a breath and cleared his thoughts before trying to enter the meditation.

He had encountered a little problem when he tried to create a new assistance concept that could be used with chakrams in the blessed land. So he wanted to comprehend another SSS rank concept and strengthen his Genesis Avatar to open the door behind the Black whirlpool.

If he practices with Mike and Qerin by using Profound Impartation, he could finish comprehending the required Intents faster and forming the concept in a shorter time.

The concept he chose was the SSS rank concept that was used mainly for defense and confusion ( illusion ).

[ Infinite Crystals of Prism ( By Nightmare of Dawn, Elaia ) ] - SSS rank.

Elemental Intents: Diamond, Dust, Glass, Radiant, Plasma, Flux, Life, Blood, Ice, Cloud.

Mystic Intents: Illusion, Wave, Warp, Transfer, Track, Connect, Mask, Connive, Divide, Build, Speed.

- After forming this concept, the User can form a prism of any size ( according to energies spent ) with numbers of profound crystals created inside it according to the details.

- The prism can defend against all kinds of attacks from outside while it is weak from inside.

- The user can create life-like illusions of anyone through the profound crystals of the people staying inside the prism. These life-like illusions can maintain themselves even after the prism is destroyed to confuse the enemy.

- These illusions can explode upon command and create flashes of lights to blind the enemy and deal damage to enemies. ( damage according to energies spent when creating illusions, i.e., Ice energy for frost damage and freezing, plasma for superheated energy that can break defense and deal internal damage, etc. )

...

Athan took some time, but he entered deep meditation nonetheless and started comprehending the Profound Impartation Intent.

On the other hand, Qerin was preaching to Mike.

After 2 days, Athan finished comprehending Profound Impartation to Master level and started teaching it to Mike and Qerin.

" You both have to master this intent, and I will continue to preach until you are done mastering it. After that, We can link to each other and train simultaneously, which will increase our speed of progression to a whole new height. "

Mike and Qerin nodded seriously and closed their eyes as Athan started to teach them the profound impartation intent by forming linking him with them.

...

In a blink of an eye, four days passed.

Qerin comprehended the profound Impartation today, and she also started to teach Mike along with Athan.

Mike, who was receiving teachings from two people, readily comprehended the intent to Master level the next day.

Everyone opened their eyes with a smile as they already understood how terrifying this Profound Impartation Intent would be after they link to each other and share their comprehension.

Mike was the most excited as he said, " Holy Shit, bro. I couldn't even see myself progressing this fast in my dream, but you made it a reality. "

" Let's not waste time and start already. I feel like my memories will return after I reach a certain plane. " Qerin was also happy as she said this but noticed that Mike flinched a bit hearing her.

She lovingly smiled towards Mike and said, " Don't worry hubby, Even if my memories recover, I have no intention to separate from you. "

Mike smiled awkwardly for a moment before took a deep breath and said seriously, " Even if your memories recoveries and you forget me or something serious happens, I will let you remember me and do everything to stay with you until I die. "

Athan involuntary remembered Tiana and...Avelia's last words as he couldn't help but feel his chest squeezing and grief appeared in his eyes.

Mike noticed this, and he felt like slapping himself, ' Damn..how stupid I am to talk this in front of Athan. '

He then hurriedly said to Athan, " Hey bro, Let's start training. We can't waste time as you gotta get strong faster and fulfill your goals, right? "

Qerin didn't know anything, but she felt that something wrong and also encouraged Athan, " Yes, brother Athan, Let's training together so we can get stronger fast. "

Athan smiled as he felt their concerns, but he could handle himself. It's just that he got a bit distracted due to remembering those things.

" Alright, We will start our training. Let's link to each other through Profound Impartation and share the comprehension. "

Mike and Qerin nodded as they closed their eyes with Athan as they linked to each other and started their Profound Impartation Session.

...

Days passed as they made tremendous progress which even surpassed Athan's expectation.

They comprehended Intents to Master level every day and progressed rapidly.

Not just here, But many places in the Union Startcluster had this phenomenon.

Genius made groups and comprehended Intents together as they rapidly made progress in their training.

Athan noticed that Qerin had a profound understanding of all intents, making it easier for him to comprehend intents.

Mike was overjoyed, and he felt like he was dreaming because he never thought that something amazing like this was possible.

After a month, They comprehended many intents, and Athan was done with his intents while Mike also wanted to breakthrough to Genesis Conceptual Plane.

Athan created a list of concepts using his genesis energy by reading the Database from his Digiband and showed it to Mike.

Mike read the list and finally decided on a concept which he could form right now, " Bro, I've chosen which concept to form. "

Mike spoke to Athan after looking through the list that Athan displayed him.

Qerin asked with anticipation, " Which concept? "

Mike grinned and said, " I will form the Claws of Abyssal Knight concept. "

[ Claws of Abyssal Knight ( By Abyssal Knight of Justice, Adel ) ] - SSS rank concept.

....

Athan and Qerin nodded after hearing Mike's choice as it was indeed a good concept for a starter.

" I will now start, hehe save me if I mess up, alright? "

Mike grinned and said as he ate the several pills that Athan gave him. These pills were the Elemental Origin Pills and Affinity Pills about the Elemental intents he comprehended so that when he forms a concept, he can have sufficient energy.
