The previous team of hunters did not at all choose to chase Adrine and her friends. The distance was too far to make them undo the intention to chase, moreover they had expected the prey they were chasing would cross the border.
And sure enough, Adrine went to the Ice Continent to avoid the chase. But he knew that there were other hunters who must have been on the land he stopped by now.
In his early travels in Springer City, Adrine was training to become an alchemist. Trial after experiment he did and also many failures accompanied it. Moreover, he was a beginner who had just learned in refining pills.
Adrine has started his distillation. His hands created fire and melted all his materials inside the furnace. The pill he was going to make was an Appetite Enhancer Pill.
His concentration was so high, his eyes were constantly fixed staring at each stage of his refining.
When the ingredients began to melt, Adrine now prepared the crystal stone. The pure crystal has also been cut into smaller pieces.
Then he put it in the furnace and just melted it down.
'Huh, my mental energy ... No, the fire is too hot, ' her inner self.
Adrine uses mental energy to form fire because of recommendations from the system. The USC system says that using mental energy is much more efficient than using ordinary magic energy.

Meanwhile, in a world very far from Earth. In the same universe, the same dimension, Adrine was watched by two figures with such a powerful force. Their strength was on par with an expert at the level of Nothingness, a level whose strength was already inconceivable with common sense.
A figure sitting on a throne with layers of red diamonds and white gold on each side. The figure was so strong with a gold crown. A terrifying dark red armor and black robe protected the side of his back.
The figure was named Selestialin Westberg Ronzo, the ruler of the entirety of Resscion Laniakea.
And there were three figures of masters with even stronger strength. Among them, there was a familiar figure, he was the Shin Rhei Ancestor.
The other two figures were Ancestor Sha and Ancestor Qanxiy. They were figures with cultivation levels that reached the Second Star realm. Yep, no weaker than Ancestor Shin Rhei.
The four of them were looking at a screen that showed someone who was training, his own age was the same age as Adrine.
"Zhou Yan has never let me down, this avatar I chose must be the most powerful. Moreover, he has a Demon Body physique that reaches the highest level," Ancestor Sha said.
Ancestor Shin simply fell silent staring at the screen and heard the rant from the mouth next to him. But Ancestor Qanxiy chimed in, "He also has the top ten soul eyes, the Sky Eye Sniper, right? Still inferior to the avatar I chose, he had the top four soul eyes, the Cat King of the Universe."
The two of them gave each other avatars. The Avatar of the Qanxiy Ancestor named Rigel Anza, he also had two special physiques, namely the Furnace Body and the God Arm.
The Qianxiy ancestor also displayed Rigel on the hologram screen and showed how powerful the man was.
Rigel has a special ability that is supported by his Leg Body physique, which is the ability to refine pills.
"What about your avatar, Ancestor Shin?" Selestialin asked Ronzo, while making the three ancestors turn their heads towards him.
"Right, you haven't shown how great your avatar is, Shin, yet" said Ancestor Sha.
Ancestor Shin only smiled as he was about to answer it, making the others become confused and curious.
Selestialin Ronzo recalled something interesting, "Oh yes, I seem to remember that I once met the chosen avatar of Ancestor Shin Rhei," he said.
Then the man displays Adrine while in a dimension.
Adrine sorting and finding techniques that are strong without stopping until they get it. All the ancestors were amazed by his determination that it was not so easy to give up.
Ancestor Qanxiy and Ancestor Sha praised Ancestor Shin's chosen avatar, yet they still slightly underestimated the strength and potential that Adrine possessed. Explaining it just like that does not mean anything if it does not have strong evidence to show.
Then the image on the screen changes. The screen showed how the fight Adrine had fought against a man with a level of Perfection. There was also when fighting demonic beasts at the level of Devil Incarnate. As well as when resisting the forces of the four hunters at the Gem level.
"They're still mysterious, huh?" ask Selestialin Ronzo.
The hunters' faces get sensors up to the chest. The sensor is in the form of a broken image aka Glicth with blurry and disturbing red and blue colors. Their real faces are completely invisible because there are indeed tools to hide such identities.
Ancestor Qianxiy turned towards the man sitting on the throne, "You should pay attention to the boy, why are you paying attention to those insignificant ones as well?" abugn.
Selestialin Ronzo scratched his head while smiling widely confirming the words of Ancestor Qanxiy.
While looking at Adrine's abilities on the hologram screen, Ancestor Shin explained how the power his avatar possessed was. Ancestor Qianxiy and Ancestor Sha were surprised to hear from Selestialin Ronzo that the man shown on the screen had the second rank eyes from the list of strongest soul eyes.
Not only that, hearing from Ancestor Shin, Adrine had twin eyes that where the Black Eyes of the Ancient Nothingness Universe were one of her twin eyes. It was not the eyes of a top rank soul, but rather the eyes of an innate soul with power that could stabilize the chaos possessed by Adrine's black eyes.
In addition, Ancestor Shin also told about the Hundred Figures Soul, the two Martial Souls, the Yin-Yang Earth Wing, and Adrine's other abilities as a talisman expert.
Then, when the screen displayed how the state of this avatar of Ancestor Shin's choice was, all of them were shocked to find him practicing alchemists.
Ancestor Shin also did not expect that Adrine wanted to become an alchemist, whereas the main purpose of the black-haired man inside the screen was only to attract the attention of the strong people around him.
Afterwards, Ancestor Qianxiy chimed in that the avatar had an advantage that was no worse than Adrine, "Rigel has an ability that can defeat that brat, know with the Marker Attack technique?"
"Yes, I know. Isn't that counterable with a Hundred-Figure Soul?" tangkis Ancestor Shin.
The Marker Attack Technique was a technique that relied on physical blows. That skill can increase the damage to the physical blow given to the opponent.
When the user imparts a marker energy to his fist. Once the opponent is charged, then the marker energy will erode the opponent's soul and turn the eroded soul residue into the next punch reinforcement. The next blow cannot be energized by the marker, but the next blow can be re-energized by the marker again.
The strengthened attack only applies to opponents whose souls have been marked by the technique. For example, Rigel attacks Adrine with the right hand that has been energized marker, then the attack from Rigel's next right hand will be strengthened but only Adrine feels the reinforcement. If Rigel attacked Liona with his right hand reinforced by Adrine's soul residue, Liona only felt an ordinary attack that was not reinforced at all. But Rigel can re-energize the marker on his right hand if he attacks Adrine again and his right hand can be energized marker again. But his left hand was not strengthened as it did not impart any marker energy on the opponent.
The result is the energy used. The more these techniques are stacked, the more energy will be drained. Technically, each time the energy of the marker is stacked then the next marker stacked on the same target will increase by 15% of the energy used in the previous marker. If the user continues to accumulate the energy of the marker on the same target continuously in large quantities, then the energy of the next marker will be greater in using energy. Even if you attack a target with a regular attack does not use a lot of energy.
In conclusion, if the user attacks the opponent using the energy of the marker, then the damage given by the user amounted to 15% of the original damage for 15 minutes. The duration of this skill is calculated from the last marker given. This Marker Attack Technique was at the level of Mystery rank 1.
The technique did not pay attention to how strong the soul of the target was. Even attacks launched when this Marking Attack technique takes place can be spiritual attacks (mentality).
However, the Marker Attack technique could be fended off by a Hundred-Figure Soul. Hearing from what Ancestor Shin said made Ancestor Sha and Ancestor Qanxiy return to recall that Adrine had special abilities.
Then the discussion of comparison ended. Changing topics, now the speaker begins to lie in the position and properties owned by each avatar.
For Adrine himself was now in the Ice Continent. While Rigel was in the Dragon Continent and Zhou Yan was in the Light Continent.
The Light Continent was the closest continent to the Ice Continent. Its sea region was bordered by the frozen sea region of the Ice Continent, so Adrine and Zhou Yan had a great chance of being able to meet each other. While Rigel was on a land so far away, even if traveling from the Ice Continent then it would have to pass through the Sky Continent and the Earth Empire Mainland in order to reach the Dragon Continent.
Ancestor Sha said that Zhou Yan has ties to a large faction. His avatar also had strong and deadly engineering skills, and grew up with great strength.
There was no doubt that the treasures in Zhou Yan's hands were not just a collection of trash.
Then Rigel also did not have too many treasures, but it was said that he had a teacher of the Mystery level of the Mystery stage of Eternity.
Turning back to Adrine, now he has been happy because he can make one Appetite Enhancer Pill. The pill immediately he swallowed round and round because it was not very useful. But suddenly his stomach became rumbling and starving.
Adrine forgot what pill he was making, so the effect was also not remembered. "Get out ah, get some food," he said.
The man left his friends in the apartment and went to look for food. But Liona also wanted to go out looking for something to eat. Adrine actually knows what the reason is.
***
Moments later, after Adrine was done with her stomach affairs, she noticed a hologram paper leaflet attached to the wall. Some people go through it because they feel unimportant, but Adrine is wrong.
There was a large banner and a round drone about the size of a head that broadcast the same thing on the hologram paper that Adrine read. The notice contained about the competition to make pills between youths.
'The age limit is twenty years, novice alchemists can also participate, people who are only interested can also participate, meaning this is a competition to practice, ' Inner Adrine.
Then Adrine asked someone passing by, "Hey, is this competition common?"
"Amom once, even every month there must be, only this time the organizers are different, so quite crowded and splashy ... Yes, that's how it is" replied the passerby.
"Is that so? If I could ask again, who is the manager? What's so interesting about all of that?" ask Adrine again.
"A beautiful young girl, Phiora, she was an alchemist who had recently earned the title of a beginner tier four alchemist at a young age, roughly only 22 years old."
Adrine is not so interested in beautiful women, instead he awaits what is offered by the young alchemist named Phiora until many want to enter the competition.
"Oh yeah, Phiora is the type of woman who doesn't like being called a mistress, so I just call her name directly."
"I didn't ask about that. Come on, man, I just want to know what special gift he has to offer? In the leaflet there is no mention," said Adrine.
"Aren't you interested in this woman?" Ask the man to Adrine while giving the phone a picture of a beautiful girl.
Liona was so disgusted when she saw him. Not disgusted by the woman in the cellphone picture, but the man himself who makes Liona disgusted. That's because the man is so obsessed with the beauty of the woman on his cellphone.
"No! Comeon!" adrine again made it clear that he was really not interested in women.
"I know, I know ... Phiora offered a place to become her disciple, the ten greatest could become members in the Alchemist Guild of Springer city. If you're lucky to be first, then you can be his disciple, my beautiful woman, '" replied the man with a red face.
"Ah, is that so?" Adrine is not interested in the prize offered. But he could hone his skills in pill making, who knew in the next few months there was a figure of an alchemist master who was interested in his abilities.
"Your face is so flat, aren't you interested in women?" Asked the man who then glanced at Liona who was beside Adrine. "Oh, so is that it?"
Adrine was puzzled at the response of the man in front of her, "What? She?" he said while pointing towards Liona. "No, he's not my girlfriend, he's just my partner" he added.
"really? Then you must be a strong man, right?"
Adrine. Then he thanked her for the information and left from there.
"Are you interested, Adrine?" ask Liona.
"I'm only interested in the competition, not the prize" Adrine replied. "To be honest lately I've been somewhat interested in refining pills, let alone this city we live in is Frozen Medicine City."
As soon as Liona understood Adrine's intentions, she suspected that the man beside her was looking for someone great in the city she now lives in.
"You yourself have already reached the middle-class level-1 Nirvana stage, what are you afraid of? Your potential alone is so high, it can even defeat me when in the Sustainability stage," Liona praised Adrine.
Liona had also realized Adrine's power.
"Yes, that's it. But at least we need to add members, don't we?" ask Adrine back.
Liona nodded.
After which they headed to their second destination, the Ancient Frozen Tower.
