Gathering of Super Geniuses!
2308 Words
When that was said and done. Aeries looked at the few people that had chosen to follow him. Most of them were the slaves he bought, out of the said 200+ something, only a little bit more than 15 came with him.
The rest were offered a huge amount of money, enough for them to live influential lives for many years
.
At this moment, Aeries was not short on money, if anything. What he got from his plundering and pillaging was enough to last him for more than a thousand years!
“To be this rich! Aiiya! What would I do with all this wealth? Right, let me organize everything...”
This would have been little act — took Aeries a whole day to sort out, that is after skipping meals and showering.
In the end, he had no regrets, he was —in fact — beaming with smiles as bright as the sun rise...
“13.7 billion Imperial Gold!
7005 Low ranked techniques... hmm, they can be exchanged for about 1.2 Billion Imperial Gold.
400 Mid Rank Techniques, going for 1.8
29 high ranked Techniques... Should be 2.1 Billion Imperial Gold.
. Now going for the weapons...
And then Artifacts...
And then Precious Herbs...
Pills and Special Potions...
Other stuff....
Looking at the diversity of goods on his full space ring, Aeries mind soared to the moon.
But after few seconds, he had calmed himself as much as he could.
'These are all secondary. The need to grow stronger should be paramount ”
Next, and most importantly was the need to arrange his life saver, the System — properly.
He opened the system panel. He looked Pensively at the number of Exp he had and other important info he neglected before.

This!
I should do this another time. What is more pressing is to arrange this in terms I can understand.
If am correct, Strength, Speed and Health Points are based on an adult human, But why is my health point so low? Could it be because I've not recovered enough?
‘This isn't the best time to think about this too much.’
Glossing through, next on his list was the total Techniques he had cultivated.
En, She was right. I really have two skills top of the Human Realm. Then there's this Mountains Lakes and Man that don't have a rank... yet.

"Speed, dexterity, strength, all adds up to make my Power Level."
He moved on to the notification tab.
Here except the normal pop ups of the mission he had accepted, and the ones he failed... Which was only one, that of the Time Leap.
He also saw some unopened messages and clicked on them.
The first, [ System and Devour Law upgrade... 88 % complete]
[Congratulations Player 'Scourge'. You can now access The next level of the Item slot and purchase what you want using your Yuan Coins]
[Congratulations, you have now opened, Refined Mind... Here practice occurs with 10:01 time duration. Making you possess twice the benefit with half the effort]
[Ding! You have entered the space time continuum gap. A protective sphere is being initiated.]
[Ding! You have...
Aeries glanced at the messages in boredom, the ones that he remembered ignoring before, were ignored now too..
That was until he saw a Red gleaming notice that his eyes narrowed for a second, before regaining its tranquil.
[Time for End of Year Contest... T—2 days.]
If Aeries said this hadn't been on his mind ever since, then he was a fool.
The reason he ordered his caravan to sped up was precisely because of this.
Let alone staying in the wild, The Flying Martial Lords were still at his neck.
He got up and started practising his techniques. Every palms swipe or punch he let out flowed as if it was as natural as the springs...
His lost his last bit of anxiety, instead relishing in the completeness that came with desolate.
A huge figure of Yin and Yang appeared under him, it spun like a wheels of a cart in either clockwise or anti-clockwise.
*Huffs*
At the end, Aeries was left sweating. His whole body was in pain and discomfort. He felt as if millions of ants were biting hi muscles and inner organs.
“Without the heavenly awareness, comprehending this technique would take a while ” He thought of the time he had his first tribulation, then he had touched upon something sacred.
Then, at the end of his training, he left some sort of pull. As if he could yank a mountain off it's root if he wanted to.
Plaque had called that Sensing Heaven. A kind of state close to being one with the Dao. But this feeling was only encountered by luck but not sort for. Martial Emperors would trying to replicate the same state, but they would always end up in failure. Meanwhile, a Martial Warrior would only sit in meditation and chance upon this heavens natural luck.
——————————————
Finally, they got to the bustling Empire's capital at dusk of the second day. Although it might be just a futile attempt, Aeries still took the initiative to dress up in cloaks covering their faces and mixing up with the crowd.
The night lamps had long been lit when he finally decided it was time for bed.
He went to an Inn and booked four rooms for him and his followers. The Inn was either the highest low grade hotel, or the lowest mid grade one.
The food was so-so and only 1st ranked demon beast meat was served there. Of course this was still a luxury for the slaves and even some rich men back at the Joran Kingdom.
Aeries booked two extra large rooms and two normal size ones. The bigger rooms went to the slaves... One for males and the other for the females.
And then one small was for the hired helps he brought from the Joran Capital... Mostly for driving the cart and as the means to know the right way to the Empire Capital.
“Great. I still have a day to set myself. Although I haven't got the slightest clue on what to expect out of this End of Year's test... What a pain, do we look like mid graders!?
If there's one thing for sure... It's going to be brutal. Am going to have to meet the true geniuses that have left their marks in this world just one year of coming.”
The last room, of course, was his. He laid out his plans but after few minutes of almost loosing his mind, he decided to let nature take its course.
The rest of the night was spent in training his Mountain Lakes and Man technique until the next day, when he tiredly strode out of his room.
————————
Earlier, far away from the Blue Wing Empire,
A girl was sitting indifferently on a heap of something. With a closer look, this heap wasn't just some random bag or shoes... but a mini mountain of Corpses!
They were all fresh with blood dripping slowly from countless indention or compresses on their body.
This compressions fit the shape of her Weapon, a gigantic hammer!
Well done, Boss!” People stood respectfully around the 'mountain' They bowed straight down to a 90 degrees with unwavering respect... and fear in their eyes.
“Sure, sure. They were just weak flies. No need to concern my self about these kind of matters.
Only the type that happens to being out the fighting spirit within me.” She licked her lips and put on a dazed look.
“Can someone else the same age as you have the same kind of strength? It's impossible right?” One of her faithful servant cried out.
“They are. I'll meet them soon, don't worry. Although its impossible for them to have my power or higher... At least they'll be enough to entertain me for a whole... I can't wait, I can't wait!”
Deep in the woods, in another entirely different continent, A youth stood like a statue under a waterfall, in modern days, the weight of this water fall could be calibrated to have at least 5000 Pounds!
What does this mean?
That it was same as 50 strong soldiers pressing down on one man with all their body strength.
Yet, a teen... No, a child stood on this very same spot for more than 5 hours
As he came out of the pressure, every movement he made brought about Pop Pop sounds and his joints screened with each step.
“So it's about to start, very well, Its not too early to test the other birds... I hope I won't be let down”
In another place, in an extravagantly gigantic Castle, towering over millions of dense busty humans and houses, a youth stood with his eyes locked on the movements thousands of meters under him.
“They are just slaving like ants. Worse than ants. Could it be there's no one to compare with me? Could it be that this father is at the peak of all geniuses?
I truly am amazing. Having women as I please, wealth with but a word. My strength doesn't grow in a year or a month... Instead, every Minute I surpass my current limits and grow stronger.
Haha! Those fools posting trash in the form of a Live Show for people to believe their strong. Hold on till you meet me! I just hope... I won't be disappointed.”
The craziest look flashed on his face. He raised his hands to the sky with a bout of laughter...
“ I truly am gods' chosen!! ”
[ 3 ]
And finally, far up in the Cosmos, a huge looming castle stood in it's solitary position fixed on the void itself.
“Chiron, Its almost time. Aren't you going to watch the game you set for your little birds, yourself?”
“Huh Aria? Don't you understand that it is a waste for me to distract myself for such thing? Everything would go as planned. The main characters would be the winners, just as I have predicted.
There's no fun watching something when you already know how it'll turn out. ”
Aria giggled with her hand In her lips, “What if your predictions are wrong though? What if someone you don't expect wins this jarring game Of Cat and Mouse...”
“Oho? Then this year's 'Special Prize’ would be very different from what I had in mind” Mearle's lips curved up in a devilish grin.
—————————
“Its almost Time. Everything is set. An alone here so no one would be a border.”
T—0:23]
The count down continued in an empty tone till finally it hit zero...
Aeries left dizzy all of a sudden before fainting in his room.
—————
“Where am I?”
All around Aeries, there was plain nothingness, Even light could not be seen...
[Ding! Successfully connected to the 'Cloud' please stand by for initiation.]
'What cliche name to give this place ”
Finally, a terrifying Black hole appeared before Aeries and pulled him towards it with a suctioning force he could not resist.
He finally gave in and was jerked into it... Before a blinding light covered his senses.
