Chapter 1251 Why Would I Change?
Moonlight Faction.
Klaus had been training intensely for the past months and it has been showing a great result. He has so far managed to get to the Seventh stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane.
In the history of the Moonlight Faction, no one has advanced as fast as he does. Whenever he leaves the Faction, it was rumored that he would always have a great encounter that would make him advance at a frightening speed. When they left the secret realm, he had only just broken through to the Elemental Venerable Plane.
But now, within the s.p.a.ce of a year, he had gone from the First stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane to the seventh. He advanced seven stages in a year, a shocking feat to achieve. What was worse was the fact that he was not weak in any way. He had sparred with people in the Eighth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane and came out on top. This goes to show that he was still that same genius that could easily fight above stages.
The young lady who he was paired with when they entered the secret realm, whom he didn"t like, was in the same stage as he is now, he had completely caught up even with the large gap between them a year ago. What the young lady found annoying was that Klaus was presently stronger than she was and he wasn"t hiding his feelings of revenge in any way.
With Klaus becoming stronger than she is, she rarely stays in the Faction ground anymore and focuses more on completing missions that would take her away from the Faction.
….
The young lady had been gone for a few weeks and just when she returned, she caught sight of a familiar figure walking towards the Faction gates.
She approached the figure and spoke up, "Grey Dawson?"
Grey turned to look in the direction of the young lady. He was someone pretty easy to recognize, first off, he was the only one who had a small black cat on his shoulder when traveling. The bunny leader is often staying in the spatial storage and rarely comes out unless something exciting was taking place.
Whenever Grey was not in a hostile place, he would most often bring Void out. Unless they were stationary, or he wanted to train, Void hated being inside the spatial storage.
The young lady recognized Grey with Void who was sitting on his shoulder. Besides, Grey"s visage was one that was quite hard to forget.
"It"s you." Grey gave a soft smile. He had forgotten the name of the young lady hence his response.
The young lady didn"t show any annoyance. Compared to someone like Grey, she couldn"t hold a candle. Klaus was already enough to cause trouble for her, she knew Grey was miles ahead of Klaus. Adding the fact that he was the most astounding genius the Continent had seen in a long time and that he was the son of the Continent"s two last most promising and fastest risen geniuses in the Continent had seen in hundreds of years, his reputation was far above that of others.
"You"re here to see Klaus?" She asked.
Grey nodded, he was very modest while communicating with the young lady. When he noticed she was already in the Seventh stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane, he couldn"t help but click his tongue at her speed. However, his jaw dropped when Klaus appeared in front of him.
Grey rarely gets shocked by things like this, but Klaus was clearly defying normal logic.
"How is he doing it?"
He could not comprehend how Klaus was advancing so fast. In his case, he had to make sure he didn"t advance too fast so he could get full control of his power. Klaus was a completely different story. It was like he didn"t have to worry about that, and to be honest, he didn"t. Whenever Klaus advances, he always seems to have perfect control over his strength.
Being able to access a hundred percent of your strength is something that makes you an even greater genius. The higher one advances, the harder it is to get a hundred percent control, but for some strange reasons, Klaus appears to be exempted from this theory.
….
"Haha, hey bud, how are you doing?" Klaus laughed out loud as he approached Grey.
"I was just thinking of you and I was told you are here."
"What? Shocked speechless by my brilliance?"
"I know, I know, I"m a radiant star. Even the best stars wish they were me."I think you should take a look at
Klaus didn"t even give Grey any chance to say anything as he bombarded him with words.
The group of friends rarely used their communication devices as they usually do. Well, the others do, but since Grey was always going to another realm, there was no way to contact him. And even when he came out, he forgot about using it. The only thing he did with it was to track Klaus. When he got close to the Faction, he realized Klaus was in the Faction.
From what he heard about Klaus, he rarely comes out of the Faction. He is treated as a special member and almost everyone around the region knew of his high status in the Faction. There might be a few people in the Faction who didn"t have a good impression of Klaus, and he hadn"t tried to resolve their relationship. Given his bad mouth, Grey didn"t expect anything different from him.
This was the reason he came to invite him for the mission his father was sending him on. Since he needed someone to provoke a large group of people, the best bet was Klaus. Grey was certain if Klaus had gotten the number of encounters he had with the Gnomes, they would also want him dead due to how annoying he would"ve made them.
Grey took a step and appeared in front of Klaus, and before Klaus could react, he stretched out his fist, wanting to punch him to the ground, in the same manner he was forced into the ground the last time he came to see him.
However, Klaus was prepared, he created a thin ice wall, but Grey could feel how powerful it was from a glance.
Those around were shocked at the sudden change. They were still in front of the Moonlight Faction gates, and there were a lot of young members around.
A few wanted to see the outstanding Grey Dawson, while others were curious as to what brought Klaus out.
Some Elders were observing the scene, and when they saw this, some of them prepared to attack.
Grey smiled and the energy in his arm increased, his muscles contracted but he made sure to put some sort of fire essence at the top of his fist to make people feel like it was the strength of his fire essence.
When his fist hit the ice wall, a shockwave spread across the entire area. His fist stopped in the same place.
Klaus smirked, but his expression changed drastically. The thin ice shattered, and as usual, Grey"s fist connected with his head and he sank into the ground which had been softened by Grey.
"Shut up, you talk too much." He added after Klaus sank into the ground all the way to his mouth level.
Grey squatted down and studied Klaus properly, "You"ve become arrogant just because you got to the Seventh stage? Just so you know, I"ve killed Peak Elemental Venerables, stop trying to flex your might in front of me."
"Don"t you know how it always ends?"
Klaus tried to shake while held tightly by the ground, but he was unable to leave. However, ice spikes sprouted from the ground and shot at Grey, making him take to the air.
With Grey no longer standing close to him, he destroyed the ground and came out. ????????.???
"Of course I do, I always beat your a.s.s up." Klaus swiped his hands across his nose proudly.
Even though Grey just beat him to the ground, he would still be shameless. Besides, who has ever seen Grey beat him up among the people present? No one! So Grey had no evidence.
He would just take it that the reason he got beat just now was because he miscalculated. There was no way others would know what truly happened. Well, except for those Elemental Sovereigns in the Faction.
Grey shook his head when he heard this, he understood what Klaus was trying to do and couldn"t help but laugh, "I see you"re still the same way."
"Why would I change?" Klaus retorted with a snort.
The Elders and members of the Faction were once again left speechless at the conversation of the duo. They wanted to believe Grey, after all, he did get the advantage, but Klaus was able to break out of his entrapment and force Grey back. Given the fact that Klaus was also a genius from the Faction, they were more biased toward him. But Grey"s reputation was something a lot of them were aware of, especially those close to the upper echelons of the Factions.
