Chapter 479: Watching The Battles

The first person to step into the arena was a young man in the Mid stages of the Origin Plane. He looked to be in his early twenties. After the man announced his cultivation stage, a youth stood up from the special area in the colosseum, wearing what looked like a uniform. Grey stared in the direction the young came from and confirmed that the others there were also wearing the same black dress.

The youth was around fourteen to fifteen years, which came as a surprise to Grey who was watching.

Back in the Azure continent, a fifteen-year-old should just be breaking through to the Arcane Plane. If they were talented enough, they should be around the Mid or Late stages. Then in his case, he hadn’t even started cultivating at that age!

When the youth stepped into the arena, one could slightly sense his arrogance and air of superiority. Those who are members of Factions take non-members to be inferior people.

With both partic.i.p.ants in the arena, the man who was hosting the event called for the battle to begin.

Swoos.h.!.+ Bam!

All it took was a single attack from the youth dressed in black, and his opponent could be seen lying unconscious on the ground.

The youth was a Lightning Elementalist, and from what Grey saw, he noticed that he went all out as soon as the battle started, easily defeating his opponent.

The youth turned to look at the crowd before walking away with an emotionless expression.

“Well, that was fast,” The man hosting the event said with a light smile, he motioned for people to come to carry the young man away, and possibly get him some treatment as well.

After the young man was taken away, the man hosting the event turned to the crowd once again.

“The battle is still on, whoever believes he or she can defeat those in the same stage, step forward and challenge a member of the Abyss Faction, if you win, you will get the chance to join them. And even if you do not win, there’s a chance that you might catch the eye of the representatives here,” The man said before walking to the side of the arena, waiting for the next fighter.

….

“Wow! So powerful, and he’s only in the Mid stages. How powerful do you think those in the Late stages or at the Peak will be?”

“Hmm, don’t forget about the advantages of having a higher elemental grade.”

“Yeah, according to what I heard, the minimum prerequisite of joining the Abyss Faction was to have at least a blue elemental grade,”

Discussions broke out amongst the crowd, and Grey perked his ears to listen to all the rumors. Times like these were the best to get to find out more about this place. Although the books were good, they were still lacking some information.

‘Hmm, the blue grade. I still haven’t been able to read about how high the cyan grade is from the books,’ He thought to himself.

Although he had been reading, he hadn’t seen any book that spoke about elemental grades. Maybe he hadn’t searched enough though.

On hearing that the blue grade was the bare minimum if one wanted to enter the Abyss Faction, he couldn’t help but think about the possibility of an elemental grade higher than the cyan grade. Also, now he could understand why these people not only grew quicker than those in the Azure continent but were also stronger.

Even in the Azure continent, elemental grades were all that was important.

Grey continued contemplating elemental grades before the next person finally summoned enough courage to try his luck.

This person was in the Early stages of the Overlord Plane and was already in his late twenties. Even though compared to the geniuses of the Abyss Faction he was a little too old, he still wanted to see the difference in strength.

After the man announced his cultivation stage, another youth stood up from the special area and walked towards the arena. The youth was a little older than the first one, but she was around eighteen to twenty years old.

She gracefully walked into the arena, staring at the man with a small smile.

The man hosting the event quickly called for the battle to begin.

Boom!

The man was the first to explode out with the water element. Learning from the experience of the first guy, he didn’t dare to wait for his opponent to attack him first.

He created what looked like tentacles around him, using them to attack the young lady.

The young lady was soon enveloped by the wind element, easily dodging all the attacks of the tentacles.

A thin sword appeared in her hands and she slashed it in the direction of the man. Wind blades shot out of the sword, slas.h.i.+ng towards the man.

The man hastily set up an ice wall in front of him, hoping to use it to block the wind blades.

Bang! Boom! Crack!

After the first three wind blades. .h.i.t the wall, cracks started appearing around it. Two more wind blades were able to easily destroy it, before heading towards the man.

The man used his tentacles to try to stop the attacks, but he was unable to. With no other option, the man hastily dodged to the side, but his expression changed drastically when he felt a cold sensation on his neck.

He froze, not daring to take another step.

“I win,” The young lady said gracefully before walking back to her seat.

The man left the arena a little dejectedly, although he tried to put up a fight, he wasn’t a challenge for the young lady given how she only finished him with a single attack.

On going back to his seat, he was encouraged by his friends who sat close to him. They could tell he tried his best.

Grey watched the battle properly and couldn’t help but commend the battle awareness of the young lady. She only attacked once, but she already had everything planned out.
