Chapter 271: Crimson Power Pool-1

Athan and Reikent arrived in front of another branch pocket space door, but Reikent turned to Athan and spoke before opening the door.

" This is the best opportunity to prove that my decision was not wrong when I gave you the 1-star special guest contract despite you being an Ascender. If you managed to absorb the benefits of the crimson power pool to make your body stronger, then from now on, Nobody would raise any objection about me giving you the 1-star special guest treatment, and you can peacefully make progress. "

Athan understood and nodded plainly, " I'll do what I can. "

" Alright. Now let's enter since everyone is waiting inside. " Saying this, Reikent opened the door before both of them entered inside.

This pocket space wasn't any different than the space where his abode was situated regarding the atmosphere and natural habitats except for one thing.

Athan saw eight people turning to look at them after they entered, and further ahead, There was a crimson pond that was glowing and producing red sparks like blood.

There were five men and three women among these eight people, and only two men were pure human.

Hufan, one of the human men, spoke with a frown, " What are you planning by bringing an ascender here, Reikent? " He then thought of something and sneered, " Don't tell me this is that guy whom you gave the 1-star special guest contract? "

Reikent nodded while smiling, " Indeed, He is the one. "

" Tsk.."

Athan saw a piercing gaze towards him, and it was from another human man who was standing behind Hufan. He was slightly fat and buff but was not that tall. Though, Athan could feel clear malicious intent from him.

' Looks like he is the one who wants my quota, and that Hufan guy is an elite member who is backing him. '

Hufan noticed his and frowned before looking at Reikent, " So what are you planning by bringing him here? "

" He will be using his Crimson Power pool quota in this batch with others if he failed to absorb the benefits of the pool to strengthen his body, then...well, nothing. Either way, That fat stool behind you ain't getting the quota of Athan. " Reikent spoke after glancing at the person who was glaring at Athan.

Athan was speechless hearing this and looked at Reikent, who just grinned at him.

On the other hand, Both Hufan and Nefat's faces turn red. Hufan was fuming, but he didn't lose his cool and calmed down before speaking with a dark look, " I'll report what you said to higher-ups, and if that ant failed to absorb the benefits of the pool, then...I will do whatever I can to revoke his 1-star special guest treatment. "

Although Hufan calmed down, Nefat was still glaring at Athan and felt that all of this was unfair, ' Why the hell would that ant, who is still in Ascender plane, get 1-star treatment and not me who had spent six of my life laboring and finally breaking through from Peak-Ascender. What's more, I heard that. He just arrived here a few months ago and still a Novice Ascender...Damn it. '

Nefat clenched his fist while glaring at Athan and then at Reikent, but he knew that he couldn't do anything to anyone here.

A lady, who wore loose kimono-like clothes and had four hands with two small and pink horns on her forehead, spoke with a cold voice, " If your discussion is over, Can we start now? "

Reikent instantly replied while smiling, " Sure, sure, Lady Yuilen. Are these four 1-star members under your management? "

Lady Yuilen nodded, " Yep, They've become official 1-star members of the organization from 1-star special guests. Now let's start the basic physical strength testing. We need that especially for that pretty boy you've brought here. "

Reikent smiled wryly and nodded.

Afterward, The other four members of whom, Two were girls and two men with different beastly features but humanoid body tested their physical strength on the silver plate. All four of them had the same physical strength: 1 petal-Black flower, Meaning that their body strength was at Dark Realm-1st step, and they were here to break through to Red Realm.

The eight realms of body strengths that Athan knew so far are:

Dark Realm-----> 10th - 1st Step.

Red Realm------> 10th - 1st Step.

Orange Realm---> 10th - 1st Step.

Yellow Realm----> 10th - 1st Step.

Blue Realm------> 10th - 1st Step.

Gold Realm------> 10th - 1st Step.

Purple Realm----> 10th - 1st Step.

After their turn came Athan's turn, and his body strength had no change from the previous testing. His basic physical strength was still at Dark realm-7th step.

" Alright, now go inside the pond and do your best to absorb the benefits of this crimson power pool. Four of you should be able to achieve the Red Realm-1st step easily. Afterward, We will go to the library and pick a good Body Order Art. " After saying this, Lady Yuilen looked at Athan while narrowing her eyes with a smile, " As for you, I don't know what's special about you, but I trust Reikent's eyes, so go and do whatever you have to do to absorb the benefits of this crimson power pool. "

Hearing this, Reikent smiled while Hufan snorted, but he internally grinned because he saw that Lady Yuilen was testing Athan by releasing a slight of her aura, ' Hehe, even if that's just a bit of her aura, That boy won't be able to resist. '

Athan felt something was wrong as some kind of invisible force came to him, and Lady Yuilen appeared a lot more beautiful and sexy than she already was with her perfect body. Still, That force failed to affect his soul as he just plainly nodded at her and started moving towards the pond along with the other four people.

Lady Yuilen revealed a surprised expression and smiled at Reikent, ' Sigh, Your eyes are as good as always. Where did you find him this time? '

Reikent grinned before replying, ' Well, Finding geniuses and unique peoples with special traits is my specialty. Anyway, I decided to camp at Ascender's spot this time and found him there. It's only been a few months, and he is already an Advanced Ascender and become an Expert Ascender soon. '

Lady Yuilen nodded, ' So what is special about him? '

At this question, Reikent smiled wryly, ' To be honest, I don't know. My eyes actually didn't work on him, and that was the thing that piqued my interest at first, and I decided to gamble because my gut feeling told me that he is definitely someone special. Though recently, I found that he seems to have a special body physique, and with it, He might be able to absorb the power from this pond. '

Hufan had an ugly face as he looked at Athan, who had just walked deep into the pond because he didn't think that an Ascender would be able to resist the aura of Lady Yuilen completely. Then, he looked at Reikent and Lady Yuilen, who were talking telepathically and snorted, but the two ignored him.

' Humph, Let's see if that Ascender manages to absorb the power of the pool. ' Hufan thought as he turned to look at Athan intently.
