The Tale of the Void Emperor

Seeing that Devon couldn't think of something, Athan got an idea.

' This should work. I used to do it with my classmates and friends...'

He faintly smiled after thinking about it and told them.

Sen was willing to listen to it as long as his method was fair and square, while Devon also nodded, " Let's hear it. "

" It's quite simple. We will play a small game, and the winner in this game will be the owner of this scroll. "

Sen raised her eyebrows hearing that and asked, " What game? "

Athan faintly smiled and said, " This game is called rock, paper, scissors. We will play five matches, and the one who wins three matches first is the final winner. The rules are pretty simple. "

He then told them about the rules of rock, paper, scissors.

Hearing about such a simple game, Sen was interested and nodded, " Not bad. This sounds fair and square. Let's do it. "

Devon also nodded while smiling, " Mhmm. You can decide the winner this way. "

Internally, He was glad that he didn't need to think of anything and won't be burdened with this decision.

" You can be the referee. Mr. Devon. Stretch your hand out, and once you speak, ' start ' We will start the match.  Also, we are not allowed to use any kind of power. Not even our soul sense. "

Sen nodded, " Got it. "

Hearing this slight commotion, The other competitors also gathered and looked at them with curiosity.

Athan and Sen stood in front of each other as they stood in a stance with their one hand stretched forward in a fist.

Devon stood to their side as he also stretched his hand forward in a chopping stance and put it between their hands.

" Readyyyy...Start. "

Athan and Sen looked at each other as they began.

" Rock...Paper..."

Athan intently looked at the hand muscles of Sen to determine her move.

" Scissors. "

*shuaa....*

Wind gushed out as their speed of the last draw was quite fast and looked blurry to the naked eye.

Athan drew scissors while Sen drew....paper.

" First match. Winner, Athan. "

" Owhh..." Sen released a sound of disappointment as she lost the first bout, but after a second, she snorted once again while looking at Athan, " Continue! There are still four more rounds. "

Both became ready as Devon once again started the match.

" Rock...Paper..."

" Scissors! "

*Shuaaaaaaaaa....*

Athan drew rock while Sen drew...Scissors.

" Second round. The winner is Athan. "

Sen frowned slightly, but then she smiled and chuckled, " I know what are you doing there. Hehe, Continue! "

The other competitors were confused, and they also wondered why Sen was not angry or resented Athan.

After all, She lost against him and also suffered pain as she practically screamed loudly before losing her consciousness.

Well, They didn't know that Athan had already healed her and also whatever trauma she had, and that's why she didn't reset Athan as much. After all, It was also thanks to him healing her that she could return and get in the top 3.

Athan and Sen started another round match.

" Rock..."

" Paper..."

Both Athan and Sen intently looked at their hands that there moving in speed. They were looking at the muscle patterns and the micro-second observing the last movement of each other's hand before the " scissor! " to determine their draw.

" Scissors! "

*Shuaaaa....*

Athan drew paper while Sen...drew paper too.

" Tsk..." Sen bit her lips because if she failed to win the next two rounds, Athan would win.

" Third round. The winner is Athan. " Devon announced with a wry smile as he felt that Sen would lose.

" If I win the next two matches, It will be a dra..."

Athan interrupted her and said, " If you win the next two rounds, then we will have a rematch. But this rematch will be of only one round, and whoever wins it takes the scroll. "

Sen nodded with a serious expression, " Alright. "

" Readyyy....Start. "

" Rock..."

Sen was intently looking at Athan's hand to determine what he would draw.

But Athan slightly smirked as he performed his trick. By damaging his own internal muscles of his palm and changing the structure, He let Sen believe that he was going to draw scissors.

" Paper..."

" Scissors! "

*Shuaaaaaaaaaa...*

Sen felt that she would win this time as she drew rock. After experiencing the previous rounds, She had grasped how to judge the draw.

But when she looked at Athan's hands, Her face froze.

Paper.

Athan drew paper.

" Fourth round. The winner is Athan. " Devon slightly sighed as he looked at the daze Sen before speaking, " Since Athan won three rounds, This scroll belongs to him. "

Sen snapped out of her daze as she looked at the slightly unnatural palm of Athan and then at Athan before she took a deep breath, " Looks like my resolves are not as great as you. But...I will win next time. "

After saying this, She went to another shelf and started looking at the scrolls.

The other competitors also realized that they were fighting for the scroll. Some of them wanted to ask about the game, but in the end, none of them approached Athan or Sen for obvious reasons: Athan was like a dread devil to them, while Sen should be in a bad mood after losing.

Naturally, a few of them asked Mr.Devon about it, who explained to them with a smile.

Athan also started searching for another scroll after winning the scroll of the 5-star Essence order technique, Point Zero Bombardment.

Both Athan and Sen liked this technique, but in the end, Athan won it from her.

After twenty minutes, He finished picking the remaining three scrolls.

A 5-star essence order method, Force of Glittering River.

A 5-star body order method, Heavenly Stream Pressure.

And finally, He picked a soul order method, Soul Enhancement Bubbles.

The soul order methods were all the same below the Orderic Catalysmal stage as they all had the same function of strengthening the soul, Just the different ways of strengthening it.

The end result of all soul order methods below the Orderic Catalysmal stage was the same. There were also no powerful soul order techniques here as the primary usage of chaotic soul powers would come after reaching the Orderic Catalysmal stage. The only soul techniques here were 1-star and they too were exhausting to use because of the complicated nature of the set of order forces.
