The First Store System

Chapter 865: Training and Panagea!

As the sun set, Aakesh closed the doors of the store, announcing an end to a somewhat fruitful day for the store.

It was now time for training, and both Aakesh and Lily disappeared from the store's hall and appeared in the selection area.

Lily chose her usual training environment and left, while Aakesh went to the weapon section to pick his weapon for the day and then left.

As Aakesh found himself in familiar surroundings, a regular blue screen popped in front of him.

Aakesh reflexively tapped on the screen, choosing to start from the first round.

Today, he had gotten the flail for the battle while his opponent was a creature several times as large as him.

The creature was green all over, with a C-like horn on its head. It only had a single vertical eye, with black sclera and green pupils, the same color as the creature's skin.

[Ding!]

The bell rang, announcing the start of the battle.

Aakesh made the first move as he casually waved the flail. The striking head flew toward the creature and hit it right in the center of its face.

The battle ended as soon as it began, as that casual strike turned the creature's head into a blood mist, resulting in instant death.

Time flew by, and several minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

A striking head, appearing to be the same size as a football ground, crashed into the creature, resulting in a scream escaping from its destroyed mouth.

In the cracks of the battle arena, Aakesh continued to hit the same spot one after another, stopping only when there was nothing left but blood in place of the creature.

Aakesh won another battle, but this didn't come easily, as Aakesh's injuries showed. A deep gash extending from his left shoulder to his waist created a gory sight.

The next moment, a green light covered Aakesh, and the numerous injuries spread across Aakesh's body healed in no time. At the same time, a blue light shrouded the arena.

Suddenly everything stopped as if time had stopped existing, and soon, a blue screen popped in front of him.

Aakesh tapped on the screen, choosing to start the one-hundred-and-sixteenth round of battle. It was the highest stage that Aakesh had gotten to so far, but Aakesh had to give his opponent credit as well.

The opponent for today's battle seemed to have less talent than the other opponents he usually faced in training. At the same time, the flail also countered the creature.

[Ding!]

The bell rang, announcing the start of the 117th round of battle.

The creature, spanning tens of miles, looked down at Aakesh as it made its move.

Aakesh didn't wait for the attack to come and jumped as high as he could by forcing energy into his legs.

In no time, Aakesh reached the same height as the creature. Aakesh spun the striking head as he waved the rod.

The creature seemed to have anticipated the attack, so soon after it saw the striking head approaching it, it opened its mouth and let out a scream.

The striking head seemed to stop for a second, but it continued to fly toward the creature. But when it reached the creature, it only clashed with empty air.

Aakesh's face turned solemn as he sensed extreme danger to his life. He attempted to pull the striking head back, but before he could, he felt something piercing through his heart.

As he looked down, a big see-through hole welcomed Aakesh's sight.

Thud!

The next moment, the surroundings turned dark, and Aakesh crashed to the ground with a loud sound.

If Aakesh had even a little life left after the hit, the crash had taken it away, as the quick fall turned Aakesh into a mangled mess.

Fortunately for Aakesh, there was no pain, as he was long dead. The creature roared in triumph as it finally killed its opponent, seeing his mangled body lying on the ground. It wanted to charge at the corpse, but some invisible energy warned it against it.

The next moment, a blue light covered the entire arena. As soon as it disappeared, the battle arena returned to its undamaged state and was once again silent.

Aakesh appeared in the selection area after his death.

Lily wasn't here as there was still time left before her training ended, so Aakesh chose another training environment and left.

Time flew by, and minutes passed in a flash.

"Only two more customers," Aakesh said, smiling as he told Lily about the quest.

Anything that affected Aakesh also affected her, so she showed interest in the quests from time to time.

The duo then talked for a few more minutes, and after that, they stood up and returned to the store's hall.

As usual, Lily summoned the room and went to Pangea. After Lily left, Aakesh also proceeded toward the portal room.

***

Aakesh appeared in the same spot where he had left Panagea. After a long time, Aakesh didn't have to worry about his class. His only focus was to level up.

Since Aakesh was already in a forest and hadn't used the skill Wolfbane until now, he decided today was the day.

Time flew by, and fourteen hours passed in a flash.

Aakesh had used the skill to its full extent as he emptied one of the wolves' colonies. It wasn't without reward, as Aakesh was only a day away from leveling up.

There were still several hours left before sunrise, so if Aakesh wanted, he could level up only today. But Aakesh decided against it.

In the Sacred dimension, he could cultivate on his own using the purer lesser Sacred stones. Aakesh had decided to put meditation on the back burner until he upgraded his class.

Since the class Watcher was now Mythical, the time to meditate had arrived.

The next moment, Aakesh returned to a safe area since he was currently present in the massacre area. If some extra powerful beast had arrived here, he would have died for nothing. After finding a safe place, Aakesh exited Panagea.

The next moment, Aakesh appeared in the portal room.

Aakesh then summoned the pouch carrying the purer lesser Sacred stones. He took out the one he had used on his first day here and began to meditate.
