The First Store System

Chapter 1550: Ancient Glorious City(21)

Boom!

The ground beneath Aakesh's feet suddenly exploded, throwing him into the air. The creature was silently waiting for him there.

It immediately grabbed Aakesh, ready to rip him into two pieces. Aakesh released whatever energy he had in his body at that moment and unleashed an apocalyptic scene.

The space that had remained stable until now started to crack while the creature got enveloped in fear. For it, Aakesh was a predator at that moment, and it was a simple prey.

Cry!

It immediately forced that thought out and recovered, but it was too late. A pitch-black energy ball, the size of the battle arena, appeared.

Aakesh's eyes were as cold as hell, and he released the energy ball.

BOOM!

The next moment, an explosion louder than ever rang in the ears of the audience, and a shockwave erupted. The battle arena turned to ashes while Aakesh crashed to the bottom of the several-mile-deep pit.

An uncomfortable feeling struck him after he thoroughly emptied his energy reserves. Aakesh immediately asked the system for a stone and began to absorb its energy.

After absorbing tens of stones, the uncomfortable headache finally disappeared. Not long after, Halie descended to the ground and looked at him with a shocked expression.

"How did you do it?" She asked. Despite seeing the entire battle, she still couldn't believe the result.

Aakesh expressionlessly nodded in response and waited for the main topic. He had no interest in chitchatting with anyone inside the room.

When the others saw him, they couldn't help but become even more curious about Aakesh. As Halie had thought, Aakesh was like a bug to them, and they could crush him anytime they wanted.

But looking into Aakesh's eyes, it seemed that their cultivation levels didn't matter to him. Only he was the master, while others had no point in existing.

The leader didn't care about Aakesh's expressions since he had called him here to do something for him.

"The opponent you killed was one of my pets. I allowed him to join the battle to let him enjoy the thrill of battles, not expecting some monster like you to be its opponent. It didn't die a worthless death," The leader stated.

Aakesh had the same expression, waiting for the reason. He had a timeline to follow whenever he entered the city.

"That pet had a purpose. Since you have killed it, do you want to fulfill what it needed to do?" The leader asked. His tone contained some hint of majesty as if he wouldn't take a refusal as an answer.

That majesty did not affect Aakesh, and he calmly replied, "What do you want?"

A few minutes later, Aakesh stood outside the VIP room, thinking about what the group wanted him to do. It wasn't some demeaning or humiliating task, so he wasn't angry or sad.

It was just that the work was incredibly dangerous and challenging. The battle with the chimera was nothing in comparison to that.

But since he wanted to leave, he had to complete the challenge, so he accepted it.

Aakesh had only taken a few steps forward when his eyes fell on Halie, who was waiting for him. When she saw him looking at her, a smile erupted on her face. There was a hint of relief in it.

Aakesh maintained his expressionless face, but he still walked to her. He could see that the woman had no romantic feelings or any other feelings like that for him. She was just too kind toward him due to the arm wrestling contest.
