Chapter 1388 Sometimes It's Best To Let Go

The entire arena was deathly silent, no one spoke a word. Klaus and Reynolds' chattering was the only sound that was heard.

Grey was standing on one side of the arena, not bothered with the dust cloud that his attack on Flint just caused. He looked in the direction of the Old man, he could see not only shock in his eyes, but there was an unbridled rage in them. It was almost as if he wanted to get down to the arena and beat Grey up himself.

'Why's he so edgy? I wonder what his relationship with this guy is. He seems to hate me. Could he be a necromancer?'

A lot of questions ran through Grey's head as he saw the man's face. The man could barely hide his rage. The only reason Grey wasn't afraid was not because of the fact that the powerhouses from the Phoenix Faction were present, it was due to the fact that even though he was sensing some sort of hostility from the Old man, there was not even a single atom of killing intent.

His senses was very sharp and he was certain that there was no way the Old man could hide his killing intent from him. As long as the intent was directed at him, he was sure he would sense it.

'Such a strange Old man.'

If the Old man was hearing Grey's thoughts, he would've told him he wanted to beat him up a long time ago, and would've beaten him up too!

"Oh." Grey looked in the direction of the dust cloud that was in the arena. It had not died down, but a chain made of flames shot at Grey with breakneck speed, wrapping around his leg.

The chain was tugged from the other side, but Grey didn't move an inch. He stood on the same spot while the fire chain passed through his leg.

The chain phased through his leg which took most of the people present by surprise.

Grey had shown his unbelievable speed, now he was showcasing an astonishing technique.

'How can he be defeated?!'

Most of the youths present were at a loss for words. Grey's speed already made him a fearsome opponent to have, now he also had this ability too. Having just one of either could elevate an Elementalist's fighting ability to a terrifying level, yet Grey had two. It was a bit unfair just thinking about it.

Grey naturally didn't know what was going through the heads of the people present, all he wanted to do was to get this over with.

The Old man heaved a sigh of relief when he saw a reaction from Flint. He didn't want Flint to be defeated so easily. As long as Flint is able to put up a fight against a grade nine genius, then he was also not too far behind. He might even be able to get to the stage of a grade eight genius.

At that time, he would become a fearsome powerhouse in a few years.

Elemental Venerables are already distinguished powerhouses since they were already very close to the top. Most Venerables could assume posts of Elders in some Factions. A Peak Venerable could even create a Faction of his own. So in respect to their societal level, they were already powerhouses in the eyes of a lot of people. There have been countless geniuses that weren't able to get past the Sage Plane. Some of them even ended in the Elemental Venerable Plane due to not being able to awaken their domains.

His student has already awakened his domain, was a Peak Venerable, and could also break through to the Sovereign Plane in a short time. In short, he has a top talent in his hands, but watching said talent being overwhelmed by a random stranger wasn't pleasing.

The dust cloud died down and Flint's figure came to view, he was standing shakily, but it was clear that he was still able to fight.

His clothes had been destroyed to some extent, but it was still okay since only his upper body was open.

He looked at Grey's eyes, "Again, you use such cunning methods. Fight me face to face."

"Being smart is a bonus skill to have. If I'm not as strong as you say, yet I'm always able to defeat you due to my cunningness, that's also an attribute of my abilities." Grey didn't deny Flint's words, he didn't see any reason to.

Flint didn't want to accept the fact that he wasn't as strong as Grey, and Grey could care less if he agreed or not.

"Fine, so we go blow for blow." Flint's eyes were red, he was blazing with rage. He wanted to take Grey down, especially with his Teacher watching. He didn't want to let his Teacher down.

Grey saw the rage and determination in Flint's eyes and couldn't help but shake his head, muttering, "Sometimes it's best to let go." n-/O.-v)-e--l/-b--I..n

Flint sent out an attack, and this time, Grey didn't dodge it, rather, he blew it away with an even stronger attack.

After doing that, he moved closer to Flint and attacked, forcing him to block the attack.

Flint blocked the attack, but he was pushed back due to the sheer pressure from the impact.

Flint couldn't believe his eyes, he was trying his best, but it was as clear as day that he was not on the same level as Grey. Even though he didn't want to believe it, he found it hard to believe that there was someone that is so superior to him.

He tried attacking once again, but Grey blocked the attack with an earth wall. The wall had cracks, but it didn't fall apart from his attack.

Grey took a step and the platform shook. It was like a giant was stepping on the platform. He took another step closer to Flint and the gravity changed.

Flint found it impossible to keep himself standing as a powerful pressure was forcing him to the ground.
