The First Store System

Chapter 53: New Skill

”What skill did you learn?” Aakesh asked Lily.

Lily nodded and started checking what skill she learned in this breakthrough, but the next moment, her mouth flew wide open in an O shape. She didnʼt speak for a long time. Aakesh, seeing her silent, had no choice but to check her status screen.

He thought of the status screen, and the next moment a blue window containing information about Lily appeared in front of him.

Pet status:

Name: Lily,

Gender: Female,

Race: Epochal Feline,

Level: Level 6,

He then found the newly created skill. It was ʼTime Displacementʼ. He then thought of the skill detail, and a new blue screen appeared containing the explanation of the skill.

Time Displacement:

Level: Level 1 (initial),

Ability: This skill allows the owner to return back to a fixed time with all the knowledge and power.

Cooldown: 30 days,

Drawback: Currently, the time could only be set five minutes before.

”Huh!” Aakesh couldnʼt help but exclaim in shock after hearing the details of the skill. It made Lily almost an Immortal without becoming one. The only way to kill someone who has this skill is to have better control of the element of time than the user, and only a few beings could have better control of the time than the Epochal Felines.

”Hahaha,” While Lily started laughing out loud in her childlike voice after checking the skill. Now she could show off in front of other cats. She hadnʼt heard of any other Epochal Feline getting this skill.

”Letʼs go for training!” Lily suddenly said, breaking Aakesh out of his trance.

The sudden request stunned Aakesh for a moment, but the next moment a wry smile appeared on his face as he knew why Lily suddenly requested for the training. How could he not know she wanted to show off in front of other cats?

”Are you sure?” He still asked as he saw the video of other Felines bullying Lily.

”Of course, I am sure. I want to become the greatest Epochal Feline. How can I miss training?” She added with her raised fist, but Aakesh could only wryly smile as she even failed to hide her grin.

”Fine, letʼs go. I think I can defeat my opponent today,” He didnʼt refuse as other cats deserved this. After what they did with Lily, they deserve to get jealous of her talent, and he also hadnʼt completed his match today.

The next moment, they both disappeared from their room and appeared in the selection ground while a large crowd waited for him in the store. He already knew about them because the system informed him whenever someone entered the store. But Lilyʼs health was more important to him than some customers, and now since Lily wanted to train, he decided to practice first and then talk to the crowd waiting for him in his store.

Without even him telling, Lily selected her training ground and disappeared from there. Aakesh only stood there smiling, seeing her so eager to meet the other cats. The next moment, he too selected his training ground and disappeared.

As usual, the booing of the crowd welcomed him. ”How are you, losers?” He smilingly shouted at the crowd while waving his hands. The booing only got louder as usual.

The next moment, booing stopped, and cheers erupted. Aakesh turned around and saw his opponent entering the battle arena. A smile spread across his face as he welcomed him, but the next moment, his smile froze. The opponent took out his sword from his sheath and held it in his left hand. He started with his left hand, his dominating hand at the start, unlike the previous times.

”Why would you start with your left hand?” Aakesh said as he readied himself to shoot anytime.

”Because itʼs easier to defeat you this way,” The opponent responded and disappeared from there. Aakesh moved two steps to his right and shot the arrow where he was standing a moment ago.

”Clang!”

The next moment, the clash of weapons rang. The arrow broke into two after it clashed with the sword.

”Good!” The opponent complimented, seeing Aakesh dodging as well as countering his move. The next moment, both disappeared from their position, and only the sound of clashes echoed in the battle arena. The crowd even cheered for Aakesh today, seeing him improving so much in the span of a single day.

”How will you dodge this?” Said a voice as suddenly millions of arrows covered the sky aiming for the entire battle arena.

”Whoosh!” Continuous sounds of arrows tearing through the air rang. ”Good, but still not enough to defeat me,” Another voice echoed in the battle arena as the next moment, suddenly, the air in the battle arena changed. Even the crowd stopped shouting as they watched the scene.

Aakesh stuck in his feet as the next moment, a blue light passed through the entire battle arena, and both Aakesh and the arrows aiming for the battle arena faded into light.

The next moment, Aakesh reappeared in the battle arena, but he had already lost the battle. His entire body was sweating with fear. The attack still sent chills through his spine.

”What attack was that?” He asked as he saw the opponent coming toward him.

The opponent only smiled in response. ”Youʼve grown so much in a single day,” He instead responded.

”You still got the best of it,” Aakesh smilingly responded.

”See you!” The opponent responded, and the next moment left the battle arena.

”Why arenʼt you booing, losers?” Aakesh then turned around and asked as the crowd stopped booing him.

”You bastard,” Someone from the crowd angrily yelled to Aakeshʼs response. It was as if a chain reaction started; everybody in the seating crowd started cursing him.

”See you next time, losers!” Aakesh smilingly shouted while waving his hands. The next moment, he disappeared from the battle arena and reappeared in the selection ground.

Lily still hasnʼt come out, so he sat down.. He then asked the system to show him Lilyʼs training, and the next moment, a black screen appeared in front of him.
