Chapter 288

Gravis waited for a while in front of the gate of the Freya Clan. The guards were unsure about how to act in his presence. Werethey supposed to apologize? Were they supposed to be friendly? Were they supposed to bar him from entry? The lack ofcommunication from the Patriarch made them unsure.

After a couple of minutes, Lasar came out of the gate together with Reginald, the Grand Elder. When Gravis saw Reginald, hisemotions didn't stir. This was the person that had attacked him, but by forfeiting his debt, the matter with the attack was over.Right now, they were only strangers looking at each other.

Reginald saw the uncaring neutrality in Gravis' eyes and sighed. He would be happier if Gravis were angry at him. The fact thathe might have cost Joyce one of her investments due to an error from his side made him feel guilty. His error had implicated hisstudent. This was the thing that a good master and teacher hated the most.

"Gravis," Lasar said. "| think we have a way to resolve this. After all, you have thought about your debt for over a year and evenstopped your breakthrough just for the sake of repayment. All your previous work and your stopping of your breakthrough will bewasted if your plans change now. Don't you agree?"

Gravis thought about this for a while and realized that he had invested quite a bit. It would really feel like a waste. On top of that,if he returned to the Lightning Sect now, it would feel awkward to talk with Old Man Lightning again. After all, they had alreadyemotionally said their goodbyes.

So, Gravis nodded. "What's the solution?"

“Reginald attacked you, but he didn't attack you with the intent to kill. So, let's make this simple," Lasar explained. "Just attackReginald without the intention to kill. Reginald has already agreed."

Gravis looked at Reginald for a couple of seconds.Reginald stepped forward and went into a battle stance. "One attack, but | will also defend. Give me your best shot!"

Gravis closed his eyes and concentrated on his emotions. As he thought about regaining his debt, his lightning became angryagain, but when he decided to punch Reginald, it calmed down again. Apparently, his lightning was fine with that.

BANG! BANG!

Gravis' feet exploded with lightning as he shot forward with unreal speed. While accelerating, his Will-Aura also activated,slowing Reginald down considerably. On top of that, the attack came so suddenly that Reginald didn't even have time to react.Gravis punched him in the chest but didn't unload his lightning. After all, Reginald also hadn't used his loaded weapon in thefight.

The punch hit and destroyed several ribs. Reginald was thrown back into the Freya Clan and flew for about a hundred metersuntil he hit a house. The house was very stable, but it was not made to withstand attacks from Spirit Forming experts. Therefore,Reginald destroyed the house, broke several walls, and finally stopped when he hit the next one. The impacts obliterated hisspine.

Gravis wiped his knuckles on his shirt. "You attacked me with your full power without your element, and I've done the same toyou. The matter of your attack is now forgotten.”

Lasar saw this and smiled wryly. The intent behind the attack was more important than the actual damage. Therefore, Gravisattacked with the same intent as Reginald had. Unfortunately, due to their strength difference, the result was completely different.That punch really looked like it hurt.

BZZZZ!

Some lightning appeared, and Reginald was back to full health. One shouldn't forget that the Freya Clan cultivated LifeLightning. Reginald stood up and spat a big mouthful of blood to the side. Usually, Reginald would become angry if someoneattacked him with such a powerful strike, but right now, he was only relieved that his error in judgment didn't implicate hisstudent's gains. As a good master and teacher, this was more important to him than his health.

Gravis also released a sigh. Forsaking his debt was a solution, but not one that Gravis was entirely happy with. After all, the debthad also included Joyce. Resolving the issue by forsaking his debt wouldn't have felt clean to him. This solution was way moreacceptable.

"Thanks, Lasar," Gravis said.

Lasar chuckled a little. "Don't mention it. We'll see each other again in a couple of years. I'm looking forward to your fight withHeaven and what becomes of this world." Lasar didn't say this out loud because things like this shouldn't involve the FreyaClan's people.

Gravis smiled at Lasar and nodded. "Just wait for me!"Lasar smiled, summoned his own Lightning Board, and then drove back to the Lightning Sect. "See you soon.""See you soon," Gravis sent back.

After some seconds, Gravis turned back to the front gate. The guards were very nervous by now. They had heard the peoplespeaking, but it still felt unfair that their Grand Elder was majorly injured while Gravis didn't even lose a hair. Should they defendtheir Clan's honor?

“Let him pass," Reginald said as he walked back to the front gate. He stopped in front of Gravis and looked at him. "Everythingalright now?"

Gravis nodded. "I'm fine with the resolution. So, anyway, | came to repay my debt to you and Joyce. You've helped me in thepast, and | owe you a big favor. | specifically came at this time because | think repaying you in the resource war is the best way."

Reginald furrowed his brows. "With your strength, this really is the best way to repay us. But originally, Joyce didn't intend topartake in this year's resource war. After all, she is still in the initial Stage of Spirit Forming. She planned on joining the resourcewar in ten years."

Gravis also furrowed his brows. "She is still in the initial Stage?" he asked, and Reginald nodded. "I still remember that she wasinside the Energy Gathering Realm when we had met. Is my cultivation speed really that fast? It doesn't feel like it," he askedhimself more than Reginald.

Reginald wasn't happy at all when he heard that. To him, it felt like Gravis was insulting his best student. If he weren't completelysure that Gravis had no such intention, he would've become very unfriendly.

"So, how am I supposed to repay my debt?" Gravis asked.

Reginald turned around and gestured for Gravis to follow him. "There are many ways on how you can do that. | think it would bebest to ask Joyce herself. After all, you are indebted to her, not me."

Gravis shrugged and followed Reginald. They walked for a while and then passed some of the Seed Stage cultivators that hadjust regained their consciousness. When Reginald saw that, he got reminded of Gravis' Will-Aura. "How strong is your Will-Aura?" he asked.

"| can compress it to around 13%," Gravis said.

Reginald furrowed his brows in unhappiness and turned to him. "Only a compression of 13% wouldn't be enough to achievethat."

Gravis blinked in confusion. "Now you're confusing me. | am pretty sure that | have the third most powerful Will-Aura in thisworld, only being behind the High Priest and Heaven itself. How can that not be enough?"

Reginald's confusion increased, but then he opened his eyes wide in shock. "Wait, you meant you have a Unity Will with a 13%compression?"

"Yeah, what else?" Gravis asked.

Reginald took a shaky breath. He hadthought Gravis only had a normalWill-Aura with such a cam BSsign.Gravis’ WWil-Ayrawas t iculous! SuchalwiltAura on someone in the SeedStage already surpassed thecategory of monstrous and strivedinto the territory of a parody or a joke.That's how unreasonable it was.

Yet, Gravis' Will-Aura would need to be about this strong to knock out someone at the same Stage as himself. The proof wasright before him, so, even if it was even more ridiculous, he had to believe it.

“How did you achieve that?" Reginald asked.

“Lots of life and death fights. The fact that | charged into the Darkness Sect while still being in the Seed Stage should give youan inkling of my personality," Gravis commented.

Reginald had forgotten that Graviswas still in the Seed Stage. Right,how insane would someone have tobe to fight alone against a whglenSect? Eyer yutheShav Ower, Such afight seemed more akin to suicidethan to tempering in Reginald's mind.Reginald wondered how Gravis wasactually still alive. Reginald could onlycredit Gravis' miraculous survival toluck. After all, Gravis had to beincredibly lucky to survive so manyfights. The content is onNovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!

They stopped talking as they entered the castle. Even though the situation between them had been resolved, the atmospherearound them was still a little loaded. It was hard to become friendly with someone that had just broken many of your bones.

Reginald and Gravis walked up some stairs until they stopped before a wooden door. The door had several ornaments thatlooked like vines around it. When Gravis looked at the door, he felt it emanate a feeling of friendliness and compassion.

"This is the room of the nextPatriarch, or Matriarch in Joyce'scase. As soon as she reaches theSapling Stage, she il'gkeovei theFe Ofar’s hice hip. Just a quick

arning from my side. Joyce hasprobably watched everything thathappened, and with hercompassionate heart, she willprobably think of you as a heartlessbarbarian. After all, you injured herteacher," Reginald explained. Thecontent is on NovelDrama.Org! Readthe latest chapter there!

Gravis' expression didn't change. "Her feelings towards me are irrelevant. | am here to repay my debt. Friendship is not anecessity for that."Reginald sighed when he heard that. "You're really cold, you know that? Can't you show an emotion other than rage?"

Gravis looked at Reginald, his face still unchanging. "I won't stay in this world for much longer. Building a friendship orrelationship will only make it harder when I leave in about five years or so. Nothing is more important than power."novelbin

Creak!The door creaked as Gravis opened it and entered.

Reginald remained silent for some seconds and sighed. 'I know, but you don't have to be such a cold asshole about it.Sometimes, people just want to be happy and talk to each other. Constantly reminding everyone of the cold truth of the worlddoesn't help and only creates a depressing atmosphere.’
