1121 Feeling Cheated
Grey looked at the young man curiously, he didn’t know if this was a real person or not. The young man didn’t look like a projection, but he felt that there shouldn’t be anyone still alive in this place.
“How was the trial?” The young man asked gently, his face showing a soft smile.
“Not bad. Any longer, and I wouldn’t have been able to make it.” Grey answered sincerely. He was lucky he found the exit from the passageway at the time he did, if not, he would’ve turned around and headed back. There was no way to improve his body any further, and he had stayed here for a long time. Alice was probably waiting for him outside.
The young man nodded, at least Grey didn’t say it was easy.
“It’s not that hard.” Void spoke up at this time.
The young man looked at Void oddly, “A Rank Seven Magical Beast that can speak, guess you’re not ordinary.”
“I’m unique!” Void replied with a smug expression.
The young man didn’t mind Void’s statement, he turned his attention to the bunny leader, “Can you speak as well?”
The bunny leader shook its head, a hint of embarrassment flashing past its eyes. It felt that even the stupid cat could speak, yet it couldn’t.
Void looked down on the bunny leader, showing his superiority.
“Interesting companions.” The young man commented, he could already tell Grey’s journeys were always filled with excitement with this duo being with him.

The young man followed Grey’s line of sight, seeing how Grey was almost drooling over it, e chuckled.
‘Looks like the world is still normal.’ He thought internally.
“Senior, why is that here?” Grey asked tactfully.
The young man was impressed by Grey’s way of thinking, “It’s a reward.”
The young man’s reply was simple, but it was all Grey wanted to hear.
“Reward for passing through the tunnel?” Grey asked another question.
“Not entirely.” The young man shook his head and explained, “Passing through the tunnel is just the requirement for the next trial. Pass the next one, and you’ll naturally get the armor.”
Grey listened to his words and was a bit disappointed. His mood soon lightened up, at least he could still fight for it!
Besides, there was no way he would leave this place without taking that armor, he was already thinking of ways to get it in case he failed the task.
“What’s the challenge?” He asked.
The young man looked at him with a soft smile and responded, “Break through my defense.”
Grey raised his brow, a little apprehensive. One has to know that he had been standing for some time now, but he had not been able to sense any fluctuations in the young man’s body. This meant that either there was no essence in his body, or his strength was frighteningly high that Grey couldn’t even sense it. If the young man was too strong, then there was no use trying since even if the young man stood still, he would not be able to break through his defense.
As if knowing what Grey was thinking, the young man spoke up, “You don’t have to be worried about my realm, I’ll naturally lower it to your level. I can see that you have a strong body and a First stage Elemental Venerable.”
The young man’s body shook lightly, and the aura of a First stage Elemental Venerable appeared on him.
“We can start now.”
Grey didn’t attack immediately, instead, he asked, “What about them? Can they help me with this? After all, we all passed through the tunnel.”
The young man paused momentarily, not expecting Grey to ask this. This was not out of question since, technically, Void and the bunny leader also passed the first trial. But the armor was for a human, although it could take on any shape, he felt it would be better with Grey. After some time, he answered.
“Since they are here, they can fight, but I’ll have to increase my realm.”
A brilliant smile appeared on Grey’s face, just as he wanted to attack, the young man smiled and continued, “Of course, they will have to agree to give you the armor. The armor is something made by a True God, a powerful weapon. It has both defensive and attacking features. Once worn, an Elementalist’s overall power would increase significantly. It can also help maximize your essence.”
The young man knew Grey wanted to exploit the fact that Void and the bunny leader were here to his advantage, but he would not allow him. Grey might be cunning, but he was still lacking. The young man explained everything about the armor to ensure Void and the bunny leader knew what they would miss if they gave it to Grey.
“Any objections?” Grey looked at both Void and the bunny leader.
Void had no issues giving up on the armor, only the bunny leader hesitated.
“Void, do you still have that pot with you?” Grey asked, his eyes still on the bunny leader.
“The bunny pot? Yes, I think I lost the pig’s pot.” Void’s reply was quick.
Hearing the conversation of the duo, the bunny leader nodded. Under the eyes of the young man, Grey had successfully coerced the bunny leader into agreeing.
The young man couldn’t help but sigh. His aura spiked, stopping at the peak of the Sixth stage. Grey had a powerful physique. Void was already close to the Mid stages, and there was also the bunny leader.
“Begin.”
The young man’s voice just died down when silver scales covered Grey’s body, and Void and the bunny leader vanished. Void’s darkness domain appeared.
The bunny leader used the space element to attack from the side.
Grey’s figure shot out like an arrow. He soon appeared in front of the young man. His fist with blazing flames as he punched out.
The young man was stunned beyond word. He didn’t understand what had just happened.
“What has the world turned to?”
The young man felt cheated.
