Chapter 302 – Training Spot
Athan and Drizzly arrived in front of a medium-sized, two-story shop building.
" This is my friend's shop. Let's go inside. "
Drizzly pointed at the shop and said before they entered inside.
Athan saw that the shop sold all kinds of items and not just one type.
" This shop sells a variety of things like materials, types of equipment, scrolls, etc. Though, You can't afford anything here for now. "
Drizzly said while walking forward. The female manager of the shop, who had dark bunny ears with white border fur seems to know Drizzly as she politely greeted her.
Both of them went through a corridor that had four rooms connecting to it before arriving in front of a door.
After entering through that door, Athan found out that they were going underground.
The stairs to the underground weren't so long, and after ten steps, they arrived in a small underground hall.
This underground hall had simple furniture such as two cupboards, one small dining table, and another table which had various items on it.
There was a girl in front of the table, and she was tinkering something with the things on the table.
When Drizzly and Athan arrived there, she instantly noticed and spoke without looking back, " Wait a minute, Drizzly. I will be finished a minute. "
" Alright. Anyway, open the portal to your training spot after you are done so that Athan can train there. "
" Mhmmm…"
Hearing the response from her friend, Drizzly nodded and turned to Athan before saying with a smile, " She is my best friend, Roselin. The training spot where she usually trains is very good, and your progress speed will increase there. As for how much it will increase? That depends on your ability."
Athan nodded as he looked at Roselin. She looked pure human to him without any additional features.
" You have to prepare as much as you can before the competetion. If you can win the competetion, then you will get plenty of resources as reward and won't have to worry about doing hard labour. hahaha. "
" Got it. I'll try my best. "
After a minute, Roselin finished with whatever she was doing and stretched her hands before looking directly back at Athan.
" So this is the new member of your group? " Roselin sized up Athan before letting out a giggle, " Hehehe, you guys found a pretty boy ehh. "
Drizzly chuckled at the comment, but then she shook her head with a wry smile, " He is pretty boy indeed, but he is also a mad pretty boy. "
" Ohh. Why is that? " Roselin got curious about Athan as she continued to look at him and smiled at him.
Athan just nodded at her with his usual plain expression.
Drizzly didn't answer Roselin's question but said, " I'll tell you about him later. First, open the portal to your training spot so that I can send him there. "
" No problem. My little sister and brother are also training there. They will also get a company of someone new. "
After saying this, Roselin took out a cube and activated it, which conjured a white blue portal.
Athan and Drizzly walked through the portal and appeared on the other side.
The place was all rocky and barren land.
But Athan almost kneeled after arriving here because the gravity and pressure here were too great.
*Urgh…*
A muffled groan left his mouth as he tried to stand up. The sound cracking bones indicated that his bones were shattering due to him putting too much resistance against this gravity and pressure to stand up.
Drizzly ruffled Athan's hair and spoke after a chuckle, " This place is good for training in body order method. Just by staying here and resisting the force in this atmosphere speed up your body order training and you also won't need to consolidate your body in the end because it will get throughly and stably strong here. "
After that, She pointed her finger in the front direction and said, " This pressure will increase as you go deeper in this direction. At the very center is a giant pitch-black rock, which is the source of this force. Try to go near there as much as you can in these six months. "
" Alright. "
Athan nodded and started walking forward at a turtle's pace. But after taking four steps, He had to stop as the pressure increased.
" Start training in your body order method while moving forward. Also, Don't overdo it and injure yourself. You have to stay fit when the competetion starts. "
After saying this, Drizzly walked back into the portal and disappeared.
Shortly after, The portal also disappeared.
Athan felt that this place was really good. As mentioned by Drizzly, When he started training in the Jadeite Skelendrome body order method, The speed at which the force of this jadeite Skelendrome refined his body increased.
He checked for a while and felt that the refining speed increased by 20%, and due to the force present in this environment, his body was also getting consolidated right after getting refined.
' This is a good chance. ' Athan thought as he started to train and move forward slowly.
In the first place, His speed was faster because he could produce chaos force instantly and thus, provide it to his body core of jadeite skelendrome constantly. Due to that, His body is also constantly refined without any break, unlike other people of his level.
He planned to make full use of this training spot by not taking any break for these six months.
…
While Athan was training, Tiana and Avelia were also doing the same.
They were also preparing for their upcoming competition that will be held after seven months.
This competition was among all of the batches of people, so it was going to be a very big one.
The first round of this competition was a test of will. This was the elimination round. Those who couldn't pass the round will have to leave this training program of the Great Bridgade Palace.
The second round was purely about training. The top 1, top 3, top 10, and top 30 would get luxurious rewards, and all those who participate would also get some kind of rewards. But…there was a twist.
These luxurious rewards would even make someone like Reikent drool, but…Those winners won't get the rewards directly after winning.
They will only get the reward if they survive in this 20-year training program and become eligible to enter the Great Bridgade Palace.
Only when they finally enter the Great Bridgade Palace will they receive the reward.
This was a good method put on by the Great Bridgade Palace. The rewards were in their name, but they couldn't enjoy it. It was like you were sitting on a mountain of gold but can't use that gold for any purpose.
But this would make them focus and train harder to join the Great Bridgade Palace.
People have only heard about Great Bridgade Palace and knew that it was an ancient organization. They didn't know what they were capable of and actually how big and resourceful this ancient power is.
But taking a glimpse at these rewards definitely ignited the spark in them into a blazing fire.
…
At the Training spot…
Athan's clothes were tattered, but he was standing tall like a majestic mountain.
He didn't know how strong his body became after four months of training here because as he moved forward, The gravity and pressure also constantly increased.
But according to the level of Jadeite Skelendrom. He was close to reaching its second level.
He had completed the first level, Jade Bones, and he was close to finishing the second level, Jade Skeleton. But after he completed the first level and moved to the second, His body core shrank a bit, and he also consumed more chaos force to produce the next level of jadeite skelendrome force.
He completed the first level in just the first two days but only after training in this boosted environment for four months did he came close to the second level, Jade bones.
Inside his body, Every single of his bones had a faint layer of green membrane coating it.
This member slowly appeared over his bones while he was training.
Seeing this, He knew that he was close to finishing the second stage as well and continued training.
After two hours, He felt strength surging and started moving forward slowly.
He took five steps before he stopped.
He waited for three whole hours because he felt that he would finally complete the second level in this round of refinement.
*Shuaaaa..*
Suddenly, His body gave off a powerful aura and shined in green for a moment as the membrane over his bones became greener with white shade than the previous light green. The body core of jadeite skelendrome order ken became even smaller.
His body strength increased by a considerable amount after completing the second stage.
He then started walking forward and managed to walk twenty steps before he finally stopped.
But instead of continuing to train, He narrowed his eyes as he finally saw the silhouettes of two people who were likely the siblings of Roselin.
