Chapter 521: Strolling Into The Top Fifty
Boom! Bam! Bang!
The battle raged on, and the group of eleven fought zealously. The crowd was impressed by their performance, unfortunately, there was no way for them to defeat the group of fifteen who were already very good at working together.
Some people complained, feeling this was cheating. But unfortunately, grouping up wasn"t against the rules of this battle, so the hosts didn"t see any reason to stop this battle.
After seven minutes, there were sixteen people left on the stage. The group of fifteen, and Grey who was standing by the side, minding his business. It was as if the battle had nothing to do with him.
Sensing their gazes, Grey turned to look at them.
"What do you want?" He asked grumpily.
"You"re very ???ky. If you had teamed up with those guys, I"m sure you would"ve been able to grab a spot," One of the trio at the Peak of the Origin Plane said to Grey.
"Huh? You guys are done?" Grey opened his eyes to look at the group.
He wasn"t really concerned about this fight. While on the stage, he was running through multiple simulations of arrays that he would use to conceal the aura of the mark on his back.
His question annoyed the group of fifteen.
"Look you weirdo, I admit that you"re strong, but I"ll advise you to walk away if you know what"s good for you," A young lady from the group said to him.
"Haven"t you people decided who to kick out yet?" Grey asked with a confused look.
"Be fast with it, I"m in a hurry," He added.
His att.i.tude not only shocked those on the stage but the crowd watching it were also surprised by his behavior. He not only refused to form a group with others so they could fight against the group of fifteen, he even eliminated one of them because they disturbed him. Now, he was telling the group of fifteen who had been working together since the start of the battle to eliminate one of their group members.
How does his head work?
This was the question running through the minds of the people who were watching the battle on that stage.
"Let"s send him out," One of the young men in the group said.
Boom!
Grey stood with his hands behind his back, watching the attacks coming his way.
He sighed before shaking his head.
Buzz! Buzz!
Red lightning suddenly flashed across his body and he disappeared, turning into a streak of lightning, he danced around the stage, dodging all the attacks that the group sent towards him.
Bam!
The sound of someone being hit reverberated on the platform.
Crash! Bang!
A figure was sent flying from the group, crashing outside the stage. It was other than the young man who urged the others to attack with him.
"We"re fifteen left, can I go now?" He asked the man supervising their stage.
"Normally, you should wait till the other battles are done, but I"ll make an exception. Here"s your number, you"ll use this for the next round of battles," The man pa.s.sed on a small plaque to him.
"Thank you," Grey accepted it before walking away, leaving behind a dumbfounded group who still couldn"t comprehend how he managed to move that fast.
Grey walked towards the stands, taking a seat close to Sylvia before getting lost in thoughts once again.
Sylvia knew the reason he was like this, so she didn"t bother him and continued watching the battles on the stages.
One hour later.
All the battles had ended, and it was time to announce the sequence for the next round. There are a total of one hundred and five partic.i.p.ants left, and they would be having a one on one battle elimination match.
The hosts decided to start the next round on the same day since there was still some time before sunset.
Grey was among the first few people who were called out to fight against an opponent. He was so distracted that he was almost ruled out, luckily, Sylvia managed to snap him out of it in time.
This wasn"t a contest for him anyway. Sylvia and Void knew he could easily stroll through the fighters in the Origin Plane without so much as breaking a single sweat.
That day soon ended with fifty- two people eliminated from this round. The next round would be taking place the next day.
Since the number was still above fifty that was left, a draw would take place for five people to fight in a battle royale of some sort. Three people would be eliminated so that the top fifty could be decided.
The next day.
Sylvia was the one who called Grey once again, dragging him to the arena.
When they got there, the battle royale was just about to start, and Grey was part of it.
The reason he was placed here was that he was among the few people who weren"t in the previous top fifty in the geniuses rankings for those in the Origin Plane.
Presently, almost everyone from the previous ranking was still here.
According to what he found out, this next round would be people trying to challenge those at a higher rank. This means, unlike the previous battles where they were given opponents, they could pick who they wanted to fight.
"Do not disturb me."
