The Tale of the Void Emperor-Novel

Chapter 279: Yone of the Wild Sun

After releasing the milky white aura to recover Reikent's finger, Athan once again fell asleep.

" Looks like the upgrading of his physique drained him considerably. Well, It's expected because he got the quality of power that only Zen Order Elite possesses. Hmmm, But even though he might have such potent power, Its quantity should be low and might take some time to recover it. "

Reikent started to speculate, and after thinking for a few moments, He left with a smile.

...

A man who wore a soft material hat and had a slim build was sitting on a rock with a fishing rod in his hand.

In front of him was a lake...but its color was strange. The lake had light orange-colored water, but it had colorful fishes and flowers in it.

The man fishing in this lake had a long tail that had black fur, and his tail was slowly moving left to right and right to left behind him as he waited for a fish to take the bait of his fishing rod in the lake.

But suddenly, His tail stopped moving, and the man laughed before speaking, " hahaha. It's been a long time since I last saw you, Rei. "

He then turned around grinned at Reikent, " So? Are you still sneaking around in the organization while being an officer? "

Reikent laughed hearing that and spoke, " Hahaha. That's what I like to do. I am not interested in joining Hidden Dragon Troupe but well.." Pausing here, Reikent grinned, " I brought a piece of good news. Your Hidden Dragon Troupe will finally have a new member after many years. "

The man who was fishing in the lake was none other than Yone, The second leader of the Youhan Tree organization. He was known to others as Yone of the Wild Sun.

Yone had long brown hairs, which are now in the form of a long ponytail that was just twenty centimeters short of reaching his waist. He had a sharp jawline and a clear face with narrow brown eyebrows and two big and bright eyes like the sun, as his eyes literally had bright yellow irises.

Hearing what Reikent said, Yone was surprised but pleasantly. People worthy of joining Hidden Dragon Troupe were always welcome to him, and he could especially trust the eyes of Reikent. He had tried to invite Reikent a long time ago, but Reikent always refused as he always said that he liked being an officer and have fun without much restriction and guide young ones.

Yone's Hidden Dragon Troupe had Eight members, not including Yone, and four of them were found by Reikent.

After getting pleasantly surprised, Yone asked with curiosity, " Tell me his details. What's his name, his strength, and his origins. "

Reikent nodded while smiling, " Hehe, He is a little special. My Shishun eyes can't see through him. "

Hearing that, Yone was startled, " Wait...Is he actually stronger than you? Doesn't that mean that he is the only same level as me? "

Reikent shook his head and grinned, " Nope. He is not stronger than me. His name is Athan, and I found him at Ascender's zone a year ago. "

" Oh...That means he is an ascender, but...if that's the case, Why your eyes didn't work on him? " Yone was confused. According to him, Rei's eyes should work on anyone who has a lower Tier Order base than him.

" That's the point. He is already unique since my eyes couldn't see past his body, and because of this intriguing situation, I gave him 1-star special guest treatment. "

" Hahaha. You and your whims never change. That must have caused quite a ruckus in the organization. "

" Yep. There were some dog barks, but that's all...Anyway, back to the main topic. Since I couldn't see past Athan's body and see inside him or his powers, I figured that he must have a unique physique, and I was right. I saw the power of his physique after a month, but since he was an Ascender at that time, That power was still outside of the Chaosverse. "

Hearing the last part, Yone was once again startled, " Wait again...You found him a year ago, but you just said that you first saw the power of his physique one month after his arrival and...then you said that at that time he was still an ascender so are you saying that currently, he is not an ascender anymore? "

" Hahaha, Leader Yone. You indeed catch on to details. You are right! He just broke through eight days ago, which means that he only took a year to go from being a Novice Acedner to Novice Order Apprentice. "

" Hmmm..." Yone frowned and thought for a moment, " The Great Bridgade Palace mass recruited ascenders a year ago, so why is he still here? He should have participated in the recruitment test under our Youhan Tree's name. "

Reikent wryly smiled and sighed, " I also wanted to do that, but he missed it by a half-day. "

Yone also sighed while shaking his head, " That's unfortunate. Anyway, Go on about him and tell me more about his special physique. You have yet to tell me his unique power. "

Hearing that, Reikent's nose went up as he smiled, " I don't know exact details because my eyes don't work on him, but his special physique's unique power's quality is at the level of Zen order elites like you. "

" Impossible! "

Yone exclaimed in disbelief hearing that.

Reikent expected this reaction and smiled, " Well, but it's true. I have tested its power myself. My index finger was obliterated, and no matter what power I used at my disposal, I couldn't heal and regrow it. So, that only means that the power of his quality is above mine. And I can't say much about its quantity because he fell asleep due to some kind of great exhaustion after he recovered my finger by stretching his hand. I think that's related to his power. Since his black power devoured my finger, he could recover it back. "

Reikent then told more of what he speculated and observed about Athan to Yone.

After hearing all that, Yone nodded and spoke, " Hearing all that about him, This Athan is qualified to join the Hidden Dragon Troupe. "

He then stood up and put away his fishing rod before saying, " Let's go. I want to meet him and will take him to the chambers of the hidden dragon while I am at it. "

Reikent was surprised and asked, " That's rather fast. "

Yone nodded with a smile, " If his power really works like how you described, Then I'll take him to increase our chances at the new permanent CPD ( Chaos Phenom Dimension ), which we are fighting over with Dagger's tooth and Urushib Clan. "

Reikent frowned, " But that's kind of dangerous to the current him. "

Yone patted Reikent's shoulder with a grin, " Don't worry. You can come along in this operation and protect Athan. Of course, I will also protect him. His only work will be to use his unique physique power on a seal to break it since it sounds effective on such things from your description of his black aura power. And He will also broaden his horizons there. "

" Hmmm...If you say so. But promise me that you wouldn't take any unnecessary risk if we fail because Athan's future can benefit us more than this CPD. "

" Alright. That's a promise. Now let's go. "
