1232 Aakesh’s Suggestion!
Chapter 1232: Aakesh’s Suggestion!
“Tell me about the store’s products,” Stacy asked after a long line of questions.
Her tone was still confused when she talked with Aakesh, but she had now calmed down. It was tough to accept what had happened to her, but since there was nothing she could do to change that, she began to accept the reality.
Since Aakesh was the store owner, she decided to check out the store’s products.
“The store currently sells six products…
“… these are the products available in the store,” Aakesh concluded the introduction of the six products and their basic details.
Stacy didn’t act as astonished as other customers since what had happened to her was the greatest shock she could face.
***
Stacy entered the weapons room. Her cultivation had already surpassed the Supreme God level, the highest level for which items were available, but Aakesh suggested she go to the Primordial level training area.
Stacy needed to keep up with the times when it came to battle. She was the mother of the strongest being under the Void Beasts, so there was another reason for her to improve herself.
In the Sacred Dimension, extensive knowledge of the past was lost due to the war, but for the top surviving races, the situation was the same. And since Stacy’s competition was with them not low-level races, her knowledge wasn’t that impressive.
Aakesh had already told her the process to enter, so she went to the pillar signifying the spear, and then placed the tip of her finger on the needle.
Stacy noticed the countless murals spread across the wall, but she didn’t care enough to look at them. As her finger was on the needle, it pricked her skin, and a pain attacked her.
The pain disappeared as quickly as it had appeared, while a golden, transparent energy barrier surrounded Stacy. At the same time, her eyes had turned blank as if she had lost her soul.
The next moment, Stacy found herself in an area where there was nothing except light. Not long after, a blue screen popped out in front of him.
Stacy decided to go with the random choice for both the opponent’s race and battle environment.
The next moment, a white light covered her, and soon after, she found herself in a desert.
At the same time, she found her mental state turning calm as if what had happened to her didn’t matter. The only thought in her mind at that moment was battle.
Suddenly a sandstorm erupted, and a being appeared in its midst.
When Stacy saw who it was, the intent to battle grew even further. Her opponent belonged to the Gulgans, the race she hated most due to what they did to the Khostics.
The opponent had the same spear as she had, and its eyes were filled with nothing but cruelty.
Ding!
The next moment, a bell that came from all directions rang in Stacy’s ears, announcing the start of the battle.
Both Stacy and the opponent made the move at the same time. As they pounced on each other, the opponent was quicker than Stacy by a long margin.
It appeared in front of her, dodging her spear, and pierced through Stacy’s heart, ending the battle as soon as it began.
The world around Stacy turned dark, and the next moment, she found herself back in the area filled with white light with the screen in front of her.
In the selection area, the calming effect of the training difficulty didn’t work, so the calm was over. But the death seemed to have helped Stacy, as she looked better than before entering the training area.
This time, Stacy didn’t choose a random opponent but selected the Gulgan. Stacy sensed that putting all the anger on the Gulgans for whatever happened with her and the Khostics reduced the burden in her heart.
As for the battle environment, it was still set at random. The next moment, the white light reappeared and took Stacy into a new environment.
Stacy’s mind turned completely serene as she appeared in the vast grassland, with her opponent standing not far from her.
The expressions made by the two parties were similar to those of the first battle.
Ding!
The familiar sound of the bell rang, and the two pounced. The battle played out exactly like the last time, as the opponent ended Stacy’s life with an instant first strike.
Stacy returned to the selection area with all the tensions rushing back. Focusing everything on the Gulgans seemed to help Stacy, as the primary thought going through her head at that point was to beat the Gulgan opponent.
The next moment, she repeated the process and found herself in another battle environment soon after.
Time flew by, and hours had passed for Stacy since she entered the training area.
The Primordial level difficulty had a time flow rate of twenty times, so Stacy had twenty hours of training.
Half of that, ten hours, had passed, and Stacy had shown improvement in those hours.
The result was still the same, with the opponent winning with overwhelming strength, but Stacy was finally able to move during the attack.
Ding!

The only thought going through Stacy’s head at that moment was not to die in the first strike. As the sound of the bell rang, the battle began.
The two opponents pounced on each other. The Gulgan was still quicker than Stacy, and it appeared right in front of her.
Stacy had gone through that moment so many times that she could predict where the opponent would attack. The only issue was whether her body would follow her thoughts at the same speed.
As the spear came, tearing through the air to pierce her heart, Stacy tried to use her spear to deflect the attack. She succeeded, but the result was the same.
The opponent added strength to its hand, increasing the pushing speed. Instead of deflecting the opponent’s spear, she found her own spear embedded some distance away from her heart.
The opponent’s spear came and crushed her heart, ending the battle with the first strike.
Time flew by, and soon, only one hour was left before Stacy’s training came to an end.
