Chapter 362 – Doubts And Answers.
While other members of the Hidden dragon troupe were busy with their own things, Athan was peacefully training.
In a month, With his superior comprehension ability, Athan comprehended and grasped the initial order of essence order method: Force of Glittering River.
[ The nature of this chaotic power: Force of Glittering River, will be displayed in the next chapters, where Athan will use it in battles. ]
The energy of the pill that Shiromi gave him infused inside his new essence core that looked water blue with glowing black patterns over it and almost fully filled it.
The first petal of four-leaf clover also became almost fully vivid, and he received a ton of order force.
Now, Athan needs to infuse the essence core with chaos force for a few months, and he will be able to saturate it.
He let his subconsciousness do this work as the chaos force started to infuse inside the essence core to fill it.
While letting his subconsciousness do this work, He continues to comprehend the Heavenly stream pressure body order method, which he paused since he first wanted to progress in the essence order ken.
Because he knew that once he starts training in the body order method, He will make continuous breakthroughs since he still had 99% of Dawn-Break fruit's power left inside his void region. All he needed to do was to comprehend and grasp the next-level orders of this body order method. As for filling its body core and saturating it? It will be done by the fruit's power quickly.
But before he started to comprehend and grasp the order of Heavenly stream pressure, He took some of the order force and chaos force before infusing them inside the epic-grade chaotic spirit egg.
He had done this daily since getting this egg. Each day, The egg would glow, which would indicate its feeding time. In this feeding time, Athan would have to infuse chaos force and order force inside the egg until it stops glowing.
Today was the same as the egg glowed, and he started infusing chaos force and order force inside it.
After a minute of feeding, The glow subsided. Seeing that, Athan didn't pay any more attention there and took out the scroll of Heavenly stream pressure.
But suddenly, He felt some moment inside his void region and once again looked inside.
Surprisingly, The egg of the epic-grade chaotic spirit started glowing. But this glow appeared different than its usual glow.
Athan saw three symbols of red, blue, and pink patterns highlighting the egg.
While observing the shining symbols on the egg's surface, He was startled to find that the egg actually started to get bigger.
Previously, It was 1.5 meters in height, but after growing for a few seconds just now, the egg's height increased to 2 meters.
But after that, the symbolic patterns stayed on the egg's surface even though its glow subsided.
He observed it for an additional hour in the hope that it would hatch, but that didn't happen.
' Hmmm…Even though it didn't hatch today, It's definitely close to hatching since such changes occurred. '
He then ignored the egg and focused on comprehending the Heavenly stream pressure.
…
After twenty days, Athan felt that he was closing to comprehending and grasping its initial order to completion.
While taking a short break, He looked at the progress of his essence core and was shocked.
Too little.
With a deep frown, He thought, ' My subconsciousness is constantly infusing the chaos force inside the essence core according to the core's absorption rate of chaos force. But…even though I am almost at the saturation point after the pill's use, It didn't progress much in these fifteen days…What's going on? '
His progress should be faster than normal people because he can instantly produce chaos force through his Chaos Grinder. At least, that's what he believed until now.
But seeing the current situation, Five years won't be enough for him to reach the peak of the Tier-3 order base…Let alone breakthrough from it and reaching the Orderic Catastrophe, which is the requirement before he can use the black card of Chaos Monolith Hills.
' If this is the case with me, Then how would other people progress? '
Athan stood up and left his house before taking out the contact card of Shiromi and asked her, " Are you still in the pocket space branch? "
" Yeah. Do you need any help? "
" Yes. "
…
After a while, Shiromi and Athan met at the riverbank outside of Athan's house.
They sat down on a trunk stool of a tree.
" So? What kind of help do you need? "
Athan had thought about some questions, So he asked, " I wanted to ask about a few things. But before that, I'll tell you my situation. I don't have Maelstrome of chaos like others, but it's a different thing that works similarly to it. I call it Chaos Grinder. "
Shiromi was startled hearing and smiled, " Interesting. Is it due to your unique physique? "
Athan simply nodded as he did not want to bother explaining everything, " Yeah. It's related to my unique physique. Anyway, The thing is, I am able to produce chaos force instantly after my Chaos grinder absorbs the chaos essence. But according to the rate at which my essence order ken is progressing, I don't think I will be able to reach the peak of the Tier-3 order base without any external aid. "
Hearing that, Shiromi nodded as if it was given, " That's normal. "
" Normal? "
Athan was confused, ' If it is normal, then how would I or others reach the peak of the Tier-3 order base and breakthrough in five years? '
He expressed this doubt to her, and Shiromi became surprised hearing that. But soon, As if she realized something, She chuckled and tucked a lock of her white hair behind her ear before speaking, " I think I understand what you are trying to say. It's been only a few years since you arrived in the Chaosverse, and all of your time was used on progressing and getting stronger.
Long story short, The Maelstrom of chaos upgrades after every breakthrough. With each upgrade, the chaos force it produces becomes stronger, and its speed of chaos force production also increases. "
Athan nodded with a thoughtful expression, " That's supposed to be the case from what I generally know. But since My chaos grinder is different, then all I experience from this upgrade with each breakthrough is that the chaos force it produces becomes stronger. I don't know what's the case with Maelstrom of chaos. "
Shiromi stood up and waved her right hand towards the pond to create a maelstrom of water.
Athan looked at it and was surprised because this Maelstrom of chaos looked totally different from what he initially saw in the scroll that Reikent gave him.
This Maelstrom looked bigger, had a more complex structure, and also more purifier blades of chaos.
Shiromi looked at Athan's expression and smiled, " As expected, you don't know about it. Anyway, Producing chaos force instantly is given when one achieves the Tier-3 order base. As for your progress of essence core and body core…Naturally, you don't expect that you only need to sit here and infuse your chaos force in it, right? That's not how you train. "
After saying that, She stood up and told Athan to follow her.
While moving towards the exit, she said, " Normally, You should have known about this after you breakthrough to Tier-2 order base. But you were alone at the competition after winning and just progressed by yourself from Tier-1 order base to Tier-2 order base with the ready-made reward you got from winning the competition….Drizzly told me that it was a meta-aerodite pool? Hehe, you are very lucky to get that as a reward. "
" Is it that rare? "
Shiromi rolled her eyes at that question, " Of course, it's rare. There was no such luxurious reward in the regional competition in which I participated prior to joining the Penta regional tournament. "
Both of them then left this pocket space branch before they descended downward inside the big tree's internal space that was filled with vine paths.
After they descended to the very base of this tree, Shiromi took Athan took in front of a wooden building from which many people were going in and out.
There was a slight commotion seeing Shiromi as everyone got excited and congratulated her. But Shiromi shooed them away after saying that she is busy.
" Let's go inside. I'll show you how one trains after reaching the Tier-2 order base. You missed this part since you were busy with your activities right after reaching the Tier-1 order base, and after that, you practically progress from halfway of the Tier-1 order base to Tier-3 order base using ready-made resources that are hard to come by. "
Athan nodded as she was right, " But where exactly are we going? "
" Naturally, We are going to a chaos phenom dimension. "
Shiromi and Athan arrived in front of the build and showed their tokens to the booth before entering.
