The First Store System

Chapter 305: Outrageous Growth

Seeing the murals of the battle scenes painted on the walls, Rory couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.

Seeing those murals, he thought that he was standing while the battles were going on. A voice came from his heart that said that these murals could help him.

Believing in his inner voice, Rory focused on one of the battle scenes, where an archer was standing with his bow aimed at the sky, while from the sky, countless arrows were raining down from him.

A few seconds later, Rory couldn't help but be disappointed as even though his inner voice said the mural could help him, except feeling that these were real battle scenes, Rory didn't feel anything else from the murals.

He tried for a few more seconds, but the result stayed the same, so he stopped.

His eyes then fell upon the pillars and also several of the customers, covered in a golden energy barrier around them.

"They must be training," Rory thought as Aakesh had told him that their physical body would get surrounded by a golden barrier since only their consciousness enters the training area.

Rory then found the pillar that denoted the bow. It was on the inner circle, so he went in that direction. After reaching there, he did what Aakesh had told him, and the next moment, his physical body covered in a golden energy barrier joined several of the customers.

Time flew by, and a few more minutes passed.

Suddenly, the golden barrier around a hundred customers dissipated as the system transferred them to an isolated space, and when their energy had calmed down, it brought them back to the store.

These were the elders and founder of the Esh clan who had just come out of the training area since their time was complete.

For a few seconds, the clan elders and Jeetesh minded their own business as they were checking what growth they had. Only after finding their extent of growth did they focus on how much did other clan elders grew.

Since it was a training area, some were bound to have outrageous growth, while some were bound to have a large rate of growth. As for average growth, it wasn't possible in the Gods & Demons level training area.

One such beneficiary of outrageous growth was Kutesh. Before entering the training area, he was an intermediate Tao Palace expert with an average level of skills in spear mastery, but now that he had trained in the Gods & Demons level training area, his cultivation had a breakthrough, as he reached the late Tao Palace level.

It was not just a simple breakthrough as he not only broke through a sub-level, but he also reached the threshold of the next sub-level. That wasn't the end, as his spear mastery also witnessed an outrageous amount of growth. In that thousand hours of training, he created tens of spear moves and one skill that could even make top organizations fight for it.

If there were a leaderboard for the amount of growth the customers had in the Gods & Demons level training area, then Kutesh would be at the top.

Even Jeetesh, who had lived for millions of years and wanted to have as many talented people in his clan as possible, couldn't help but get jealous, seeing the growth Kutesh had. If Jeetesh felt such feelings, then it was clear that the jealousy of the clan elders knew no bounds.

Kutesh, in response, had a smug look on his face, seeing the expressions his fellow clan elders were making.

Time flew by, and hours passed. 

The six hours for the first group of customers in Panagea was complete, so the system forced them out, and soon, Aakesh sent the second group inside.

More time flew by as another two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Aakesh was relaxing on his chair when he suddenly heard several sounds of footsteps.

Since he had his eyes opened, he looked at the door and found a few familiar figures in the new group that had entered the store.

It was the group of the Daityas. Kuriati was still in the front of the group, but there were several new faces in the group.

(A/N: If you don't remember them, then please refer to chapter 120.)

When Kuriati had first entered the store, he was a top Maharathi warrior on the verge of reaching complete Maharathi. And now that he had returned to the store for the first time after the events, he had reached the complete Maharathi warrior level and had become one of the Immortals in the Primal dimension. 

"Hello, store owner," Kuriati greeted Aakesh after entering the store. The other daityas in the group also followed Kuriati and greeted Aakesh.

Aakesh only nodded in response to their greetings.

"Thank you, store owner," Kuriati suddenly thanked Aakesh. 

Aakesh didn't get surprised by the sudden thanks as Kuriati was one of the six participants who had gained knowledge from the last event, despite failing to win it.

Kuriati had sincerely thanked Aakesh, as the new knowledge he had gained in the last event due to spending a few decades had helped him in gaining a breakthrough and becoming an Immortal.

"The store has new products. Do you want to know about them?" Aakesh expressionlessly asked the group, ignoring the thanks.

The group standing behind Kuriati frowned, seeing Aakesh ignoring their leader's emotions, but since Kuriati had strictly ordered them not to speak unless he asked them to, they stayed silent.

Unlike the group, Kuriati didn't mind and nodded in response to Aakesh's question.

"We have a new range of pills…,"

Aakesh then began explaining about the new products the store had added after the events.

The group that had been frowning earlier had their mouths wide open in shock as they learned about the training area and the prices for the Gods & Demons level training area.

Kuriati, on the other hand, didn't feel much hearing the prices, as his family was one of the wealthiest not only in their race but in the Primal dimension.

He had to never worry about prices, so for him, Primal stones were always the least of concern.

After Aakesh concluded the introduction of the new products, Kuriati bought supreme cards for the members in his group that had arrived in the store for the first time.. Only due to them, they have to travel here in portals and not just directly teleport into the store.
