Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: New element, shocking the world

Alan gazed over this panel while in the car. Seeing undistributed 20 free attribute points Alan decided to use them.

Currently his strength and physique is lagging behind so evening it out is the priority. Physique attribute enhances his stamina and hp so he must maintain it at a reasonable range otherwise he won't be able to express his agility that efficiently.

He put 4 attributes in strength 14 in physique and one each in spirit and agility.

He was accompanied by two old powerhouses so he was nervous to speak anything. He decided to do something to distract himself.

Alan took out his phone and just browsed through the mananet.

Elder Dimo said "kid don't be nervous. If you have any doubts just ask away."

"How can't he be nervous with all the pressure you are emanating."

"I just reached level 80 yesterday and didn't have the chance to get used to my increased power. Just bear with it for a while."

Alan was speechless. Just an increase in one level can exclude this much energy? So imagine how terrifying tier 5 will be. And the fact that elder Dimo is now at level 80 is big news. He is only one step away from tier 5. The very tier 5 which everyone dreams of reaching.

"I know what you are thinking kid… I am still very far from reaching tier 5. Most of the geniuses of my generation have a 5 or 6 star affinity. So we have a hard time advancing. 7 stars and above only managed to arise in the recent generation like your brother and you. That is why we are attaching great importance to you."

"You know, we had originally arranged for you to reveal your hidden affinity tomorrow. It was the guilds leader who personally sent the coins in order to not delay any further. He has already taken a good interest in you. If you are lucky you might even get to train under him."

It was now that Alan's doubts got cleared. It seems the guild leader has taken note of him already. 'No wonder…' thought Alan. The pressure felt by Alan went up a notch.

Like that they reached their destination in 32 minutes. Alan got out and gazed at the capital's origin monument. It was twice as big as the one in Earth dragon city.

"Follow us." Said elder Vlad as he patted Alan's shoulder.

Alan followed them towards the monument. The elders as peak powerhouses had high clearance so they got there without any hassle. 

Many people recognised the elders and wondered who Alan was to be escorted by both of them.

Soon a tall thin man greeted them.

"Elder Dimo, elder Vlad, what brings you here?"

The one who came now was the city protector known as protector Sima who was stationed near the monument. He came forward as soon as he recognised the elders.

"Haha… Nothing much just taking a junior to look around"

Sima took a good look at Alan gazing him up and down.

Vlad just chimed in "we came here to do some urgent business so we will invite you to a drink later."

Guild leader had told them to keep Alan's important data a secret. 

Sima seeing this didn't bother them as this wasn't something new.

"Looks like they found another hidden gem this year." Muttered Sima as he gazed at them walking away.

Soon the elders reached the crystal monument. Elder Vlad put up a barrier to keep out prying eyes.

"Let's start," said the elder Dimo.

He touched the crystal for a while when a panel popped up. He scrolled and clicked for a while and said. "Place your hand on the circle" 

Alan looked at the circle which appeared on the monument surface. He placed his hand nervously. 

He felt a warm sensation circulating inside him. This went on for a while.

"Be patient" said elder Vlad.

As time went on Alan felt the warm sensation circulating faster and faster. It took around 30 minutes before it displayed the result.

The panel displayed

[

Scanning complete.

Celestial grade affinity found.

Affinity: Time ( nine stars )

Element classification: Ultimate.

]

This put a smile on both elder's faces. This is a newly found element which was never seen before.

Furthermore the only celestial grade element found before was the space element. Not only that this is the first Ultimate tier element to be found. Even the space element is a tier down at supreme classification.

"This matter is big. Inform the guild leader immediately." Said elder Dimo

"Wait. Use the interface to check for the resources based on this affinity. Some resources are only made available if a particular affinity which it needs shows up." elder Vlad said suddenly.

Elder Dimo didn't waste any time and started to operate the interface. Elder Vlad looked over with expectant gazes. Alan wanted to know what resources he needed to develop this affinity so he also joined in.

The interface flashed over for a while before showing a loading screen with a text.

[ Time element affinity found. Updating origin marketplace…..]

At the same moment the origin shop interface all over the world froze showing a 'updating screen'. This drew everyone's attention in this world.

After 30 seconds it updated and everyone could access the shop now. Everyone was browsing frantically to see what new things had popped up.

The older generation remembered a similar event when space element affinity was first found. Soon the word of it spread and everyone now knew a new supreme element had emerged. Otherwise it would not have made such a commotion.

Meanwhile at the origin monument, Alan and both elder's were looking at the screen with their jaws dropped.

The price of various resources made them dumbfounded. The cheapest on the screen was the lowest grade time element crystal, 10 million gold coins each.

That was the equivalent to the value of the entire treasury of the Titans guild.

It even had resources in new coins they have never seen before. It was a platinum coin. The thing that shocked them was the exchange ratio of gold to platinum origin coins. One platinum coins was equivalent to 10,000 gold coins

"Looks like I won't be able to touch this element any time soon" Alan thought.
