The Tale of the Void Emperor

" Please Holy Son, Valley Master told me to send you there as soon as possible, It's best that you go to the Palace hall right now. "

Mike nodded and said to Athan, " I'll be going now, meanwhile you can take a look around in the palace. I'll try to come back as soon as possible. "

Mike then left as only Athan and Elder Onuk were left in the big room.

Elder Onuk looked back and closed the door before looking straight at Athan and spoke coldly, "So you are the friend of Holy Son..." Sizing up Athan he spoke, " Nothing special, not an ounce of elemental aura, You are not even at Elemental Warrior Stage 1. "

Athan didn't say anything and just stayed silent with an indifferent expression.

Elder Onuk sneered and said, " I think you already know the difference in Status and ability between you and holy son. Furthermore Valley Master is planning to make him the next Valley Master,

So I think it's better that you don't meet with him from now on and waste his precious time. Holy Son needs to focus on training because many other factions' Holy Sons are already at Elemental Mage Stage..."

Pausing here for a bit, he said coldly, " If you haven't realized until now then let me tell you, You are a thorn in Holy Son's Path of success...Just recently He requested Valley Master to arrange your place here humph, do you think trash like you can stay here? "

Athan was still silent, with his face laced with indifference, so Elder Onuk could not read what he was thinking from his expression.

" Alright, I'll come straight to the point, After today, Valley Master wants you to disappear from Holy Son's life, At first we decided to directly send you out of the Thunder-Fire Valley and arrange you at Sky Lark Pavillion.

But Lafurge spoke on your behalf and said that you can continue to live in Inner Thunder-Fire Valley while we say to Holy Son that you left the Thunder-Fire Valley so You can train silently here while hoping to awaken affinity for Thunder or Fire element. Now go Lafurge is waiting outside. "

After that, Elder Onuk directly left the room.

Athan stood there for a few minutes before a smile crept across his face, ' Looks like mike life's is set now, I also have to hurry up. '

Afterward, He left the room and arrived at the entrance where Lafurge was waiting.

Looking at Athan, Lafurge sighed and said, " I tried but Mike is closely tied to The Thunder-Fire Valley now so Valley Master is not willing to make any compromises on that. "

Athan just shook his head with a smile and said, " Don't worry, I'm just happy for mike that his life is set now...Oh, and did he say anything about the orphanage? "

Lafurge nodded and said, " Yea he also requested to send money and other resources at the orphanage yesterday, which we sent them today morning. "

" Good..." Athan nodded with a smile, " Then let's go, I still have to go to Training Zone. "

Lafurge grabbed his shoulder and both of them flew away while flying he asked Athan, " Don't you feel unfair? You might never catch up to him in your lifetime. "

Athan laughed and said, " No, I don't feel it's unfair because, there's just this feeling, belief, and confidence inside me which is telling me that I am bound to become very strong. "

Lafurge looked weirdly at Athan before a term came into his mind, ' Delusional? perhaps he became delusional after hearing about his friend's situation? '

" I'll drop you at the Training Zone near the Mountain Palace your currently staying in, Good luck kiddo, I hope you became an Elemental Sorcerer soon. "

Meanwhile, Numerous powerful Auras were currently traveling towards the Head-Quarter of Thunder-Fire Valley, Some beings arrived on Majestic-looking Chariots, Some arrived on Powerful Beasts like HellFire Swan, Ice Pheonix, etc.

On the Big Platform Valley Master of the Thunder-Fire Valley was standing together with Mike as he spoke, " Welcome Everyone, Today I hereby announce that Mike Huberth Will become the Holy Son of Thunder-Fire Valley and My first Disciple. "

The Pavilion Master of Sky Lark Pavellion spoke, " Old friend, could this little guy be the one who awakened Affinity with Space element? "

hearing this, Other guests from different factions were shocked and started murmuring.

Valley Master's smile was like blooming of chrysanthemum as he nodded and said, " Indeed, who else is worthy of becoming this old man's disciple if not the bearer of Space Element? Hahahaha "

Many people cursed in their mind, " This old fogey is as shameless as ever. "

But the people here did not know that a pair of eyes were gazing at them as if they were ants and this pair was eyes was currently focused on Mike.

...

In an Unkown place, A Castle was floating in the sky, even bigger than The Core Thunder-Fire Valley, in the castle, an old man in his sixties was playing some kind of game of board with a young man who was excluding an air of King.

The old man peered his gaze outside of the window as his gaze went downward, which allowed him to see what was on the other side of the universe, " Looks like a lad with space element was born in Sorca Galaxy, do you want to train him? "

The young man also looked outside and followed the gaze of the old man as he uttered one word while shaking his head, " Trash ".

Afterward, he looked at the old man and spoke, " Master, don't pay attention to low-Grade areas, They don't even have complete rules formed yet, None of the beings there have comprehended the intent of any element, and so many elements are missing there,

Furthermore, we are not short of users of Space elements and even time elements, If one can't comprehend the intent of the element they possess, they are no different than trash. "

The old man shook his head, as he thought, ' indeed, but sometimes geniuses are born in these low-level places, one such example is your own father. ' But the old man did not speak this out loud as he went back to focusing on the board game.

...

...

Both Athan and Lafurge arrived at the Training Zone, This area had a lot of chambers, and each chamber had a sign on it, a sign of Fire, and a sign of Thunder.

" You can either train in Fire Chamber or Thunder Chamber, or in both, it's up to you, You can train as long as you want, but don't overdo it lest you die because these chambers are not the same as the 2nd round of Examination, here you will get hurt, bleed and might even die, so start with level 1 intensity first and gradually increase it as your body gets stronger. "

Athan nodded and his face showed an eager expression, seeing this lafurge shook his head, " Remember, For your friend, you are currently not in Thunder-Fire Valley, Just train silently, I might come again after a year or two to give you an update on Holy Son's situation. "

Athan smiled and said, "It's ok, Just tell Mike that I will become very strong soon so he doesn't need to worry about me. "

Lafurge nodded plainly and flew away.

Athan then arrived in front of an unoccupied Fire Chamber and entered.

The Chamber was around half of the size of Athan's house, On the right side wall, There were 10 handles like switch facing upward, Each handle had a number on it from 1 to 10.

He then pulled down the handle which had 1 written on it and changes appeared in the middle of the Chamber.

Flames started to sprout in the middle, and the chamber's temperature started to turn very hot.

He started walking and stood in the middle where flames were sprouting, And as soon as he stood there, The Flames started to burn his skin unlike what happened in the 2nd round of examination where the lava pool only inflicted pain but no injuries.

But this was different, The flames inflicted clear damage and pain to Athan, But the intensity of pain was lower than Lava Pools, but that doesn't mean he can skip this level because he has to train his body here until these flames can no longer inflict injuries to him.

After 30 minutes The Flame automatically stopped and a Bathtub appeared where he was standing, The bathtub was filled with light yellow water.

' Now what could this be? ' while wondering about what this water is about, Athan sat inside the bathtub as his clothes were already burned because he forgot to take them off before.

As soon as he entered the bathtub, a sizzling sound could be heard as his skin made contact with the light yellow water.

' Damn, this feels like countless ants are crawling inside my skin...but This water actually has the property of healing injuries? ' Athan was shocked.

He could see with his own eyes as his burned skin was peeled before a new one quickly came into existence under the effect of this water.

With a grin, Athan thought, ' Now all I have to do is to spend my time here in training and working. '

After 10 minutes of bathing, all his injuries were healing as he got up and wore the clothes which appeared in the box on the left sidewall.

' Nice hahaha, now it's time to check out Thunder Chamber. '

...

...

...

A year passed just like this, as Athan continued to work and train.

Today, as usual, Athan woke up early in the morning, did exercise, took a bath, and went to work.

After arriving inside the mine, he started working with the same spirit as the first day, But After working for 2 hours, He started to feel Dizzy.

Shaking his head he continued to work, But after an hour, an intense headache started and he fainted.

Nearby workers who were also Elemental Warriors, noticed this, one of them came towards Athan, checked his pulse, and said to other people who were now gathered around Athan, " The Lad is still alive, looks like he just fainted. "

Another Warrior said, " For the past year, This little brother has been doing this more intensely than us, while showing the same spirit every time he comes here, I wonder what happened to him today ? "

Another warrior who was bald and had a big frame body spoke, " Yeah, furthermore he spends most of his time at Training Chambers, He only go back to sleep and eat, A month ago I even saw him hunting Grade 1 monster in the forest with bare hands which means he is already Stage 2 Elemental Warrior. "

Hearing this other Warriors were shocked as one of them spoke with disbelief, " You are saying that he already reached Elemental Warrior Grade 2 in one year? "

The warrior who had a blad head nodded in affirmation.

The one who checked the pulse of Athan interrupted their talks as he said, " We can talk about him later, But right now, We have to send him to Medical Hall, So who is going to send him there?

The bald man said, " I'll carry him there, you guys continue your work. " Saying this, He picked up Athan and walked out.

...

Something different seems to be playing out in Athan's mind right now, He could hear everything these men spoke but he could not control his body or do anything.

Currently, He was in a miraculous space, He could see not see his own body but he could see the surroundings of this space, It was Grey all around except for one place, That place was in the middle of this Grey space.

That place was pitch black, That Black area seems to be calling him, And looking at that Black area felt like he was looking at himself.

Athan seemed to have opened his Psychic Realm, but he didn't know that his Psychic Realm was completely different than others, Some mutation might have occurred because of transmigration. but who knows?
