Chapter 1389 A Dilemma

The middle-aged man looked at the platform and muttered, "An earth domain."

The Old man nodded as well. Grey's earth domain had the ability to change the gravity of the region around him. This was a very powerful domain to possess. Most of the domains of Earth Elementalists tend to include visual appearances of different rock shards, but Grey was different, it made use of gravity.

The earth element is generally known for its defensive ability and also heaviness. There are a few people who could increase their weight, making a regular punch deadlier than an elemental attack.

"I don't think this is his only domain." The middle-aged man said.

They've seen Grey use multiple elements, mainly the fire and space element. Although they've seen him use both the lightning and earth element, they expected him to have a domain with his dominant element, which was either his fire or space element. The fact that he was showing the domain of his earth element when he rarely uses it meant that he had a domain in either his space or fire element.

If they knew he didn't have two, but four domains, they would drag their hairs out.

Grey had already awakened four domains, and with the exception of the water domain which was awakened thanks to the Dragon blood essence, his fire, lightning, and even earth domains all seem to have special features.

His fire domain could toggle between hot and cold. His lightning could go from silver to red, depending on the one he chooses to use, and his earth domain, thanks to the technique he learned from the Old Turtle, as well as the blood essence he got from the King Tortoise a while back, it had a few changes.

On the platform, Flint was doing his best not to drop to the ground. His eyes showed determination as he roared out, letting out flames from his body.

His entire body was ablaze as he resisted the gravity. He attacked Grey even while in this state.

Any attack that got close to Grey was blocked by an earth wall. The wall wasn't like the usual earth as the color had changed.

"His earth can turn to crystal?" The Old man felt his mouth twitch. Even someone as old as himself felt inferior to Grey.

Grey had red lightning, blue flames, and now his earth has gotten to the stage when it comes out as crystal. What else could he do?

The middle-aged man chuckled with a shake of his head. At this moment, he didn't even know if he was impressed or jealous. Grey's performances so far have been nothing short of mouthwatering.

'How can one person be so talented?'

This was the question revolving around the heads of almost all the Elders present there. All the youths didn't even know what to think, their heads were practically empty. Grey had made them go dumb.

Flint didn't have any reaction when he saw this, his roar increased and he used a powerful technique, one even stronger than anything he had ever used.

The attack struck the crystal wall and the wall cracked. Another attack hit it almost immediately and it fell apart.

Grey was forced back a few steps, and Flint used the opportunity to retreat from the range of Grey's gravity domain.

He was breathing heavily, trying to catch his breath. Resisting the gravity domain took immense strength and effort. If not for his willpower, he would've crumbled under the pressure.

He looked at Grey once again, this time with a complicated gaze.

"It's okay to give up." A voice sounded in his ear.

He raised his head to take a look at his Teacher who nodded at him. He was all too familiar with that voice, it was the voice who trained him from when he was little till date.

He had always trained hard, never given up on anything thanks to the teachings of his Teacher. He followed his Teacher's words and became the genius he is today, and for the first time in his life, his Teacher told him 'it was okay to give up'.

During his early days, if he was told a day like this would come, he would never believe it.

He steeled his mind and turned to Grey, the look on his face only grew stronger. His determination grew stronger.

'Even Teacher doesn't have any hope I will be victorious. I will prove Teacher wrong, I will prove all of them wrong!'

Flint was brimming with renewed vigor.

When the Old man saw this, sadness crept into his eyes, and his gaze toward Grey turned chilly. The reason for the sadness was that his student got to this stage for the wrong person.

If his student was moved to this extent while facing anyone below grade nine, it would've been great news for him since his student might be able to enter the eighth grade, but he was fighting someone like Grey, even if he entered the eighth grade, it was useless.

What is annoying is the fact that as long as he isn't victorious, he wouldn't be able to sustain that grade and will fall back to grade seven, forever unable to enter that grade once again.

"Why now?"

Even the middle-aged man felt pity for Flint. Against anyone else, a draw would keep him in this grade forever, but a defeat would devastate him, forcing him back to the seventh grade. That was not even the risky part, the risky part is that he might fall a grade lower than his original grade.

Grey looked at Flint and was a little taken aback. He sighed in annoyance.

'What a load of crap. If I beat him now there's a good chance he will never get to the level he's about to show. But not beating him will make him arrogant.'

Grey knew what was happening and how devastating it could be to some geniuses. However, he didn't want to be a stepping stone for others. Nevertheless, he knew there was a war coming and the stronger humans were, the higher their chances of winning.
