Affinity:Chaos,957 Getting A Spot - Read free novels online

Sylvia looked around, waiting for Grey. There was no way she was going to agree to the competition starting without Grey.

“It’s already over ten minutes, we should start.” An Elder from the Burchard Family said with a cold expression.

Just like Sylvia, he was also one of the people who went out to recruit geniuses for the competition.

When he heard that Grey was only in the Fourth stage of the Sage Plane, he lost all interest in him. To him, even if Grey were to participate in the competition, he would still lose.

“He will be here in five minutes, if he’s not, then start without him.” Sylvia said.

Even though she would like for Grey to participate, if he was too late, there was nothing she could do about it.

Just as they were still speaking, Grey stepped out of his room.

He knew what was happening outside thanks to Void.

As soon as he stepped out, he walked straight to where the competition was being held.

…

“It’s time, we should start.” The Elder said.

Sylvia sighed in disappointment, originally, she wanted Grey to be part of the competition, but since Grey was nowhere to be seen, there was no way she could delay them any further.

Just as they were about to start, Grey walked into the place.

“He’s here.” Sylvia said, ecstasy evident in her voice.

The Elder seeing Grey snorted coldly, but didn’t say anything.

They hadn’t started, so Grey had every right to still be part of the competition.

The other Elders, as well as the Family Head of the Burchard Family nodded. He was very confident in Sylvia’s judgment. Since she recommended Grey, then there must be something special about him.

Grey stepping in changed the entire event. There were originally nine people, with him, there were ten people.

He walked over to where the others were standing.

When they sensed his aura, they still felt a little better. He was in the Fourth stage when he arrived. Although he managed to break through to the Fifth stage in little over a month or so, it wasn’t really anything compared to the others. The weakest amongst them was in the Seventh stage of the Sage Plane and Grey only recently reached the Fifth stage.

“The battle for a spot will start now. Try to get a spot so you can get to the competition…” The Family Head told them the rules of the battle.

Since there were ten of them, all each of them needed to do was to challenge someone else. Once they won, they already got a spot in the competition.

The competition would be according to those with a higher stage. The person with the highest realm would have the right to challenge first.

When Grey heard the rules, his expression was the same. Naturally, having the lowest realm, he would be the one targeted by others. Even if those at the Peak didn’t challenge him, others in the Seventh or Eighth stage would try to challenge him.

Those at the Peak didn’t try to challenge him since they knew it wouldn’t show their strength.

Of the other seven, two of them were at the Peak. Challenging a Fifth stage Grey was beyond them, so they set their eyes on those in the Seventh stage.

The two at the Peak naturally won their battles against those in the Seventh and Eighth stage of the Sage Plane.

Of the ten, two were at the Peak, three were in the Ninth stage, three were in the Eighth stage, one was in the Seventh stage, while Grey was the only one below the Seventh stage.

The two Peak Sage Plane Elementalists defeated a Seventh and an Eighth stage Sage Plane Elementalist. Currently, there were no Seventh stage Sage Plane Elementalist present in the contest.

Grey was the only one below the Late stages, and he was ignored by those at the Peak.

When those in the Ninth stage stepped on, one of them challenged him. Naturally, they wouldn’t want a Fifth stage Sage Plane Elementalist to progress.

They wanted the easiest way in. If five of them were defeated, only those who were stronger would advance.

Two had passed, only three more people would advance to the competition. The three in the Ninth stage had the advantage since they would challenge whoever they wanted. One of them who wanted to advance easily was the one who challenged Grey. He was a young man who was around Grey’s age.

…

The first two battles soon passed without any hitch. The Ninth stage Elementalists won their battles easily, now, it was the turn of Grey and the last Ninth stage Elementalist.

So long as the Ninth stage Elementalist won, there would be two Peak Sage Plane Elementalists, and three Ninth stage Elementalists.

Grey and the young man stepped onto the platform.

“I suggest you give up, rather than hurting yourself.” The young man said as soon as he stepped onto the platform.

Naturally, being a genius, he was very confident in his abilities. He felt that he wouldn’t have to expend much effort to deal with Grey.

Grey on the other hand smiled before saying, “I want to test my abilities, if I’m not your match, I’ll naturally give up.”

“Fine, I wouldn’t want to injure you since we’re on the same side.” The young man replied.

Grey nodded, not too bothered with the young man. He had fought with old fogies who had been at the Peak of the Sage Plane for a long time, and some of them were even above the Sage Plane and he survived, fighting against a Ninth stage Sage Plane Elementalist was not a problem for him.

The youth nodded. He felt Grey only wanted to see the strength of a Ninth stage Sage Plane Elementalist, and he would give him just that.

When the Elder in charge gave the go-ahead for the battle to start, the young man moved out.

Surprisingly, he was a Multi-Elementalist, having both the space and the lightning element.

When he vanished, he appeared beside Grey and attacked with his lightning element.

Already expecting such an attack, Grey blocked the attack. But he was pushed back by the impact of the attack.

The young man looked at Grey before sneering, “Want to give up now?”

“I’m just getting started. Don’t bother me about too much.” Grey replied.

The young man already forced Greg back with only the first attack, so he felt that he would win easily.

He attacked once again, disappearing from view.

Grey didn’t show any signs of pressure, seeing that the young an vanished, he smiled, and to the surprise of everyone, he attacked his right hand side.

Boom!

His attack exploded, and the young man appeared in everyone’s sight, his eyes showing surprise.

“You’re not the only Space Elementalist here.” Grey chuckled playfully.

The young man looked at him with a surprised expression, “Oh, looks like I took you too lightly.”

Grey didn’t reply as he vanished.

The young man, being a Space Elementalist as well, was able to sense where Grey was going to appear.

He attacked the place where he felt a ripple in space. Unfortunately, his attack passed through. He was taken aback as he looked in another direction.

However, Grey appeared in the place he predicted, but he used the space element to phase through the attack. He didn’t know Grey would be able to use this technique, so he didn’t think Grey would be able to phase through this.

Grey appeared and looked at the young man with a smirk as he countered.

The young man already placed his focus on another direction, so when an attack came from the same direction he was previously facing, he was dumbstruck. However, he managed to act quickly as he vanished from the spot.

Grey sensed where he was going to appear in and attacked. The young man was forced to block the attack since he couldn’t use the space element once again in such short notice.

He was pushed back, and Grey didn’t give him the chance he needed to escape from his hands.

When Sylvia saw this, she heaved a sigh, also, she was a little stunned that Grey managed to actually learn such a comprehensive ability. Phasing through attacks was an ability Space Elementalists had, but not all of them could learn it.

Grey being able to learn it showed his level of ability.

The young man who was forced to block Grey’s attack fell into Grey’s hands and he was forced to continue blocking.

Grey was a very offensive individual, since the opportunity presented itself, he would not let his opponent off. He continued his attack as he made sure his opponent was forced to only block and not have the chance to attack.

In the space of a few seconds, he had unleashed multiple attacks, and his opponent was finding it difficult to block the attack.

The Elders, as well as the Head of the Burchard Family watched the battle closely.
