Boom!
An energy wave exploded out with Grey at the center. His body was covered with eight different elements, giving off a beautiful but dangerous feeling.
Void, who was watching from the side gasped when he saw this, taking a few steps back unconsciously. He didn't dare to go anywhere near Grey.
After Grey's body started to give off the energy, his strength started to increase slowly. Compared to before, Grey noticed the speed of his growth had somewhat decreased.
He couldn't help but think if what the mysterious man who appeared to him when he started cultivating told him was a lie. According to what the man said, his cultivation speed would increase every time he comprehended a new element. Although his speed was faster than that of others, it was a bit below his expectations since he currently had seven elements.
The thing he forgot was that with the increase of his elements, the essence he needs would increase as well, so even though his cultivation speed increased, the essence needed for a breakthrough was a huge amount.
Ten minutes soon went by, and his stage had finally advanced by a single stage, entering the Ninth stage of the Origin Plane. But it didn't end there, from Grey's deduction, there was still about thirty percent left of essence from the beast core. This should be able to push him to the Peak of the Origin Plane if he was lucky.
Time continued moving, with his strength increasing with time.
Thirty more minutes went by before the energy wave he was giving off slowly started receding. The elements that covered him also started to fade away.
Void looked at Grey and muttered the word 'monster' in a low voice.
The aura Grey was currently giving off was something that could rival someone who is in the Early stages of the Overlord Plane. One has to recall that the difference between an Overlord Plane Elementalist and an Origin Plane Elementalist was almost as big as the difference between a pond and a lake.
This was something that was usually insurmountable for most people, but just from the aura Grey was giving off, Void was one thousand percent sure he could go toe to toe with an Overlord Plane expert without even using his Fusion State.
"Phew…" Grey breathed out a black gas.
"Hmm, the Peak of the Origin Plane, not bad," He muttered.
"Do you always cause this type of commotion whenever you're breaking through?" Void asked from the side.
"Huh? Commotion?" Grey raised a brow, looking at Void weirdly.
"Yeah, you were doing a light show, while also giving off energy waves. It was as if you wanted the world to know you're advancing," Void said sarcastically.
"Strange, I don't think this happened the las… oh…"
Just as Grey was about to speak, he recalled Reynolds asked him this question as well when he was breaking through to the Eighth stage as well.
"I can't help it, it happens unconsciously, this is why I've stopped breaking through in places where there are people," Grey explained.
"Okay, but given your array of elements, this would cause a problem if people find out, especially your enemies," Void warned.
"Unlike you and Klaus, I don't go around making enemies, anyone who I think will take me as an enemy will be removed from the picture as quickly as they start hating me," Grey said casually.
"You're such a cold-hearted person," Void said.
"It's called taking precautions, I'd rather wipe out an entire family than to leave someone who would endanger my family and friends," Grey replied.
He soon took out the communication device, he still hasn't spoken with the others. Once he goes through this array, he isn't sure of when he can return, but he will try his best to come back within six months at most.
He planned to take his friends there as well since it would make them grow faster. Increasing his strength wasn't his only goal, he wanted every single individual close to him to be powerful as well.
Klaus was the first person he contacted, the reason for this was that he had left a ton of messages waiting for him, and they barraged him as soon as he sent his spiritual senses into the device. After sending the message, Klaus replied instantly just as he expected. It was almost as if he had been waiting for him.
"Where have you been? I've been leaving messages since last week," Klaus said, a little exaggeratedly.
"Klaus, we spoke two days back, since when has a single day turned into a week?" Grey almost facepalmed.
"I thought you were dead, I was about to start heading in your direction," Klaus replied.
"You're still alive, why would I die when you, the one who offends everyone he sees, is still alive?" Grey rolled his eyes.
"Forget about that, so, I wanted to ask, how do you escape from an encirclement that consists of two Overlord Plane Elementalists and twenty Origin Plane Elementalists?" Klaus suddenly asked.
Grey's expression changed when he heard this, "Where's the Principal and Instructor Blake?"
"They're part of the encirclement," Klaus said in a low, embarrassed voice.
Grey froze when he heard this, "Part of the encirclement?"
"Yeah, I kind of accidentally destroyed his old friend's mansion when I was training," Klaus coughed a few times while explaining.
"You purposely did it, didn't you?" Grey shook his head, a little worried if this friend of his would live a long life.
"He was talking shit to my dad, what did you expect me to do?" Klaus said, angrily.
"Hmm, fair enough. But why is the Principal part of the encirclement then?" Grey asked, confused.
"Hehe, he was bathing when I destroyed the building," Klaus replied with a chuckle.
Grey's eyes twitched a few times when he heard this, "Alright, you should stay still so that the Principal can teach you a lesson,"
"Nonsense, I feel I still have a chance to get out of this," Klaus rejected his idea immediately.
Who was Grey kidding, his father would beat the hell out of him if he was caught.
