1136 The Same Reason
Chapter 1136 The Same Reason
Grey walked to where the giant was and inspected the place. He looked at the place where the giant was placing the coals and fell deep in thought.
There was a possibility he would be able to comprehend what he wanted from this place as long as he stayed there a little longer. He felt there was a way he could increase the intensity of his flames. Even if he couldn't increase the coldness of his icy flames, he wanted to make the normal flames hotter. His icy flames had always been superior to his normal blue flames.
As he studied it, he soon got the general idea he wanted.
"I'll be cultivating first, you guys can do whatever you want."
Grey didn't bother with the duo any longer. They were on an island and it was worth exploring, but his aim for now was to see if he could increase the hotness of his flames.
Void vanished the moment he said this, the bunny leader chasing after him.
The giant had stopped adding coal, apparently, only when there were people would it do that.
Grey closed his eyes and started to feel the hotness.
'I wonder if I can do something like this, increasing the hotness of my flame as I use it.'
An idea suddenly struck him, if he created some flames and nurtured it, it would grow hotter and stronger. However, that would take a long time to accomplish.
'I should try and see if I can learn this first, if not, I'll go with the alternative.'
Time went by in the blink of an eye, Grey was seated in the same spot like a statue. His body glowed with blue flames that gave off intense heat.
It had been a few hours now, and he had noticed there was a slight increase in it. This place was giving him some benefits, making this easier.
From his observation, this was the perfect place to learn how to increase the heat of his flames. Although he was elated, the time needed for an increase was too long. If it continued at this pace, he would need at least a month or so before he could get it to double the previous state.
After some thought, he decided to stay for a day. Once a day was up, he would go to the next round. There was no guarantee that the other places wouldn't take some time.
While he was at the side, he noticed the giant moving.
He opened his eyes and looked at the volcano-like furnace with a deep gaze, "Someone's here."
He contacted Void, calling him over. He didn't know which people they were, it would be bad if they were his enemies, and stronger.
He looked on for a while and saw a group of five walked out.
'Vaergahl Family.'
He recognized one of them, Ellis told him about this young man, telling him he was the leader of the younger generation of the Vaergahl Family. According to what Ellis said, he was a genius who managed to acquire a Dragon's innate skill when he broke through to the Elemental Venerable Plane.
The young man had a stern look on his face. When he saw Grey, he stared at him for a long time. For some reason, he could feel that Grey was like them.
He nodded at Grey, glanced at the giant, and left with his group.
Grey watched them leave and told Void of their presence. Since the people were not enemies, Void didn't return, but he didn't wander far either.
Grey continued his training. The longer he stayed there, the more people came over.
A day soon went by with Grey rooted to the same spot.
Grey opened his eyes, and at the same time, the giant stood up and started working again.
He couldn't be bothered with who was entering this place, a lot of people had come and gone.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw a figure rushing out of the furnace.
He saw the face and smirked, it was someone from the Nether Faction.
The young lady who stepped out looked at Grey with a cold expression, "You're Grey?"
Grey nodded as he accessed her, she was someone who was in the Fifth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane.
The young lady attacked the moment she saw Grey nod.
Grey could only shake his head and block the young lady's attack. She was a Multi Elementalist, attacking with three elements.
Grey blocked the lightning strike, dodging the wind blades that followed. He was caught by a hand made of water.
The hand slammed him into the ground.
Grey felt his body rocked, but with his strong physique, it would take more than that to keep him down. He stood up and attacked the young lady with his fire element.
The blue flames burned with a ferocious intensity.
The young lady used the water element to block the attack before lightning fell from the sky, striking Grey.
An earth dome appeared above Grey's head, a shield hidden in it. The shield was made from the armor. He didn't want the young lady to see it, so he hid it in the dome.
The lightning strike was blocked by the combination of the earth dome and armor.
Grey disappeared from where he was standing, attacking the young lady from another angle.
The young lady blocked the attack, retreating a few steps back.
The intensity of Grey's flames was not like anything she had seen before. She paused, glancing at Grey from a few meters away.
Grey didn't attack as well, staring at her. He knew fighting here wasn't the best thing. There was no way to recover elemental essence.
The young lady knew this as well.
She had a shocked expression on her face. She was in the Fifth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane, Grey was only in the First stage, yet, he was fighting on equal footing with her. It was a shocking thing to experience.
The reason she attacked was that she felt she would be able to beat him, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
"Do you still want to continue?" Grey asked with a grin.
They exchanged a few moves and there was no way to know who was stronger. Of course, he felt he would be able to beat the young lady in a battle.
The young lady was about to respond when they saw the giant moving.
Grey turned his attention to the furnace. The giant hadn't even been able to add more coal when a figure flashed out. The figure was someone Grey was familiar with. The young lady from the Syphilis Faction.
When she saw Grey, her eyes lit up and she attacked immediately.
The young lady from the Nether Faction didn't speak and attacked as well.
Grey was currently in their middle, so he was attacked from both sides.
He didn't panic, with a sidestep, he dodged the attack of the young lady from the Syphilis Faction and switched places with her.
His movement was swift, making it hard for the young lady to react on time. She appeared, facing the attack of the young lady from the Nether Faction.
She blocked the attack and snorted, focusing on Grey.
Grey smiled when he saw them looking at him.
"Why are you guys so bent on fighting with me?" He asked coolly.
He wasn't feeling any pressure facing the duo. Against one person, his chances might not be high, but against two or more, he had the confidence he could mess with them.
With his space element, he was not someone they wanted to be entangled with.
The young lady from the Syphilis Faction looked at him with a smile, "We are enemies, I'll naturally want you dead."
"When did we become enemies? Did I offend you?" Grey asked.
"You took the secret from us." The young lady from the Syphilis Faction replied.
"Same here." The young lady from the Nether Faction said.
Grey's offense was the same for the duo, he fought against their Factions in a competition for a secret realm and won both times. On both occasions, Grey could be said to single-handedly win the competition. This was why both parties hated him.
Grey couldn't be bothered with these, "I can't be blamed for your incompetence."
His reply infuriated the duo and they struck out.
Grey blocked the attack, dodging the ones he couldn't.
They didn't give him any chance to do anything, making sure he was only on the defensive. He didn't even have the chance to switch places.
The duo wasn't going to give him that opportunity.
Void and the bunny leader soon appeared, but they were not as strong as the people fighting, so they didn't join in. Grey had asked them if they knew how to leave this place, and they searched for it.
Right now, they could leave whenever they wanted.
Grey thought about it and decided to leave the young ladies. He couldn't fight them together.
