Chapter 1704: No Worthy Opponents

chapter 1704: no worthy opponents



lord dante took a glance at faction leader bertram and couldn't help but wonder where his confidence came from. a sixth stage sovereign has never in the history of the entire faction gotten into the top ten. it's not that there haven't been brilliant sixth stage sovereign geniuses in the past, it's just that none of them have been able to get past the two stages mark. they could defeat other geniuses a stage above them, but none of them has been able to defeat anyone two stages above them.

only one person below the eighth stage of the sovereign plane has gotten into the top ten, and he was a peak seventh stage sovereign whose strength isn't really different from an eighth stage sovereign. if grey was going to achieve what faction leader bertram believes he would, then he would have to beat people two stages above him, which lord dante didn't believe could happen. and not just once, he'd have to beat a few people in the eighth stage of the sovereign plane to even be considered in the top ten.

grey didn't know lord dante was thinking about how he could achieve this feat, he was more interested in what he could potentially get.

before long, it was almost the end for those in the sixth stage.

in the higher stage, lord dante saw this and looked at faction leader bertram, "isn't he going up?"

"can't he start with those in the seventh stage?" faction leader bertram knew that grey didn't think these people in the sixth stage were an opponent for him, so he wanted to wait until those in the seventh stage came out.

lord dante didn't expect this to be the case and shook his head, "i'm sorry, but the only way he can join those in the seventh stage is if he's undefeated in the sixth stage. we have to take the strength gap between both stages into play, so unless an elementalist is proven, we don't allow them to battle with others a stage above them, to avoid any unnecessary injuries."

the young lady walked out, she was also in the sixth stage of the sovereign plane, she laughed and said, "i'll enjoy putting you in your place."

grey didn't reply to her words and just bowed, before getting into a fighting position, "please."

the young lady snickered, and after getting confirmation from an elder, she attacked first. she was a fire elementalist, and always wanted to be on the offensive.

grey has seen this young lady fight before, and knew just how fierce she was on the battlefield. unfortunately, she's not worthy to be called his opponent.

grey's body shot forth like an arrow leaving a bow. the speed of his movement was so shocking that he even left behind an afterimage as he moved. a trail of red light flashed behind him as his figure suddenly stopped.

the entire arena went silent, as a shocked gasp was heard across the entire arena, and the gasp wasn't from just one person, it was from multiple people as they watched the scene before them in shock.

right in the middle of the platform, grey was standing there, and in his raised right hand, he was grabbing the young lady by the neck, and her left were off the ground. she struggled to move as she tried to force his hand open to let go of her. she tried to use an elemental attack, but to her dismay, she couldn't circulate her essence energy in her body. she was captured in one move, one move!

the thought of this made her want to explode from anger, but she couldn't do anything other than struggle while being hung in the air with one arm.
