Chapter 675 - Teacher and Student

Boom!

Another explosion sounded off on the platform, and this time, even the other battles had ended.

The battle between the young lady and the young man previously ranked first surprisingly wasn't as intense as this one. If people weren't aware, they would mistake this for the battle for the number one rank.

Grey's attacks were precise and deadly, the young man's defense was solid while his counterattack was dangerous. The battle almost didn't look like a competition, rather, it felt like a life and death battle to some.

The old powerhouses in the place were all watching the battles with great interest, some even had the thoughts of recruiting Grey. But when they thought of the possibility of him coming from one of those high leveled Regions, they could only shake their heads in defeat. Having someone like Grey in a Faction like theirs could take them to the top of the Continent once he fully matures.

Grey's talent was already laid bare for all to see. With his multiple elements and inscriptions, he wouldn't have too many difficulties with fighting against multiple opponents. This meant that he could almost be regarded as a one man army.

While the crowd were talking about Grey's potential and talent, the battle got to the peak.

This was one of the longest fights Grey had fought with a single opponent, it was already over fifteen minutes already, closing in on twenty minutes. His opponent was no pushover, and Grey was using him to train himself to the max.

He wasn't using his full strength, so it could be said that he was holding back. But with the few elements he was using, he was fighting excitedly. He rarely got to fight to his heart's content, this was a good opportunity for him.

They continued their battle and as soon as they went past twenty minutes, a great opportunity presented itself for Grey, one he would never shy away from.

Without delay, he closed in on his opponent who had left a space for him to get close. Just as he was about to attack, the young man turned to him with a smile. He attacked without giving Grey the chance to dodge.

His original plan was to give Grey an opportunity to close in on him, then release a powerful attack that would defeat Grey once and for all.

His attack came from below, with powerful wind blades slicing into the body of Grey. The wind blades passed through the body of Grey without much resistance.

The crowd were shocked when they saw this, thinking that Grey was dead. Most of the experienced people in the stands realized that the young man tricked Grey into coming close before unleashing his ambush.

The twist in the situation stunned them. At first, they felt Grey had won the battle, but all of a sudden, he not only lost, but seemed to be in danger.

"A shame, he fell for his trick." The young lady said to the middle-aged man by her side.

The old man smiled but didn't reply.

Just when everyone was thinking that Grey was dead, something stunning happened. Grey's figure started to fade, and the eyes of the young man he was fighting against bulged out, almost popping out of his head.

He wasn't the only one with this reaction, everyone in the stands, with the exception of Grey's friends and the old powerhouses in the crowd.

"An afterimage!" Someone exclaimed from the crowd.

Afterimages form due to extreme speed, so there was no way it could be replicated with the space element since the space element didn't really rely on speed. This was to say Grey dodged an almost certain death attack with his speed alone.

It was mind-boggling!

Grey's figure materialized at the back of the young man, with one of his blades placed on his neck.

"I win." He said with a smile on his face.

The young man wanted to make a move, but Grey pressed the blade on his neck, blood slightly coming out from it. When he felt the pain, he knew any movement from him and he would be dead.

"I ad...mit defeat." He said begrudgingly.

This was a battle he felt he would win from the start. When he saw Grey's strength, he later devised a plan, only to fail at the very end.

He didn't know of Grey's speed once he put his legs into it. Grey had explosive speed because of his superior physique, so when he added the lightning element to it, it was unimaginable. If not for the fact that he didn't want to use his wind element as well, then his speed would've been even more frightening.

The man in charge of the platform announced the winner, and Grey walked back to his seat with a nonchalant expression. The previous excited expression he wore when fighting was gone and it was like he was another person.

"Nice fight, next time, you should punch him in the head." Klaus commented as soon as Grey sat down, giving him a few pointers.

Alice and Reynolds felt like beating him up as they overheard what he was saying to Grey.

"Alright Teacher, your student will follow your instructions next time." Grey said playfully before looking at the stone in the sky.

"Good boy, now, help me fight my battle, I'm still tired from the previous one." Klaus said shamelessly.

"Unfortunately, that isn't allowed." Grey replied

The others laughed as they congratulated Grey.

"Wouldn't you go for a higher rank?" Reynolds asked.

"Nope, this is enough. I still have some moves hidden. I don't think I want to show them all here. This Region isn't our goal." Grey said calmly.

The others nodded before looking away. The other battles in the remaining platforms continued after Grey's battle ended. They couldn't be blamed since Grey's battle took all the attention, even theirs as well. Missing such a battle was something they couldn't stand.

Ten more minutes went by before all the battles rounded up. Now, it was time for one more round of challenges before the end of the competition.
