Chapter 497 - Fighting Against Ernst City's Geniuses
"You heard him, five of you, step up immediately," The head of the Gayle family said.
He couldn't believe his luck, just when he was thinking of how to cajole Grey into doing something like this, he actually did it on his own.
Overconfidence really is the downfall of geniuses.
Of the over one hundred people in the Eighth stage of the Origin Plane, five of them stepped forward. Three were young men who looked to be around fifteen to sixteen, while the other two were young ladies around the same age.
"Hmph! You think you can defeat five of us simultaneously?" One of the young ladies asked coldly.
"Are you ready?"
Grey didn't reply, rather, the head of the Gayle family was the one who spoke up.
The group of five nodded, after getting confirmation from them, he didn't even take a glance at Grey to confirm if he was ready before calling for the battle to start.
"Begin!"
As his voice dropped, a shocking scene appeared on the platform.
Bam! Boom! Bang! Crash!The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.
Sounds of flesh hitting flesh rang out, followed by the sight of five figures shooting into the air, landing on the ground outside the platform.
"Next," Grey's deadpan voice sounded out.
In the space of a few seconds, he had completely destroyed five Elementalists in the Eighth stage of the Origin Plane. One has to recall that he was only at the Peak of said Plane.
At first, everyone thought there would at least be a little difference in the outcome. But to their greatest shock, it ended the same way, swiftly.
After Grey fought against the next group, it was easily determined that those in the Eighth stage of the Origin Plane were no match for him.
"Those in the Ninth stage step forward. The rest who are still in the Eighth stage should return to their seats, if you believe you can fight against him you're free to step forward before the group in the Ninth stage begins. But if you stay behind and can not even put up a fight, then you will be punished for wasting our time," The head of the Gayle family said.
He knew there were a few geniuses who would feel they had a chance against Grey since they could fight across stages. Only he and a few others here knew none of the people here in the Origin Plane was a match for Grey.
After thinking about the threat from the head of the Gayle family, all the youths in the Eighth stage of the Origin Plane stepped back, heading back to their seats with heads dropped.
Grey wasn't the least bit bothered about their feelings. He was currently preparing himself for the next round of battles.
Those in the Ninth stage of the Origin Stage were slightly more than those in the Eighth stage of the Origin Plane.
"How many?" The Gayle's family head asked Grey.
"Five, for now," Grey replied in the same cool and collected manner. His expression was one devoid of emotions, so no one could predict what he was thinking about.
The Gayle's family head looked at the group in the Ninth stage, and five young men who seemed to be Grey's age stepped forward.
After stepping into the platform, the Gayle's family head called for the battle to start.
Swoosh! Bang! Boom!
All of them attacked simultaneously, making sure they didn't make the same mistake those in the Eighth stage made.
Boom!
All their attacks got to a particular location on the platform, before slamming into the ice wall Grey created in front of him.
After the explosion died down, the eyes of the group bulged when they saw what was waiting for them.
