Female Novel
Chapter 84
Gravis and Frank walked into the "arena" and looked at each other. Gravis looked neutrally, like nothing that happened here hadanything to do with him, while Frank looked arrogant and cocky.
Frank took out his sword and pointed it at Gravis in a provocation. "Finally, | get to take revenge on you for taking my house!" heproudly proclaimed in a voice that seemed to look down on everything. "You've been hiding in my house for the last threemonths, and I never got the chance to fight you!"
The audience whispered to each other. Those two contestants also seemed to have a history. Yet, the audience wasn't stupid.They had seen Gravis’ strength, and they wouldn't be so stupid to think that he could lose to Frank.
They all earned their own money and resources themselves and were smart enough to judge the strength of others. They alllooked with mocking smirks at Frank. Had his own arrogance blinded him?
Gravis looked at Jaimy and saw Jaimy being a mess right now. He was incredibly embarrassed by his younger brother, and hewas violently gripping his hair in frustration as if he was continually shouting, ‘Shut up! You're so stupid!’ After that, he put hishands together in pleading and was mouthing the words "please," to Gravis.
Why had Jaimy asked Gravis to lose? Jaimy was not stupid and had an impressive will and battle experience. He had everythingthat a supreme genius needed to ascend, and he, obviously, was also able to judge Gravis’ strength accurately. When Jaimystood before Gravis, Jaimy felt like Gravis could even be a threat to him, even though he was already in the Energy GatheringRealm.
Did he believe that his younger brother could win? Absolutely not! He wasn't even sure if he, himself, could win in a head-onbattle with Gravis. Yet, his idiotic younger brother was provoking Gravis, maybe destroying all of Jaimy's begging. Jaimy waswrestling with himself. Frank was his brother, and he loved him, but he was also so incredibly stupid and arrogant.
Gravis could infer most of Jaimy's thoughts, and he could empathize with him. Jaimy was a good person who was being weigheddown by his brother. Without his brother, Jaimy would shoot through the ranks of cultivation and probably even ascend to ahigher world.
Yet, was power without a family worth it? Gravis wasn't sure. Gravis still had his family, yet if Frank died, Jaimy would havenothing left. Would Gravis persist in cultivation if he didn't have a family? Gravis wasn't sure and threw away the thought. Heturned back to Frank.
Frank waited for a while, still pointing his sword at Gravis, but Gravis didn't seem to react. Frank got infuriated by Gravis'disregard. "Today, I'll destroy all your dignity in front of the whole Lightning Guild!" With that, he shot forward and chopped atGravis.
BANG!
Gravis easily sidestepped Frank's attack and appeared right behind him. He hit the back of Frank's head, and Frank collapsed,unconscious. There was no sense in humiliating Frank or injuring him. He was only a child that threw a temper tantrum. If Gravistook him seriously, Gravis might grow complacent in his power, and his will would reduce. He had to look at the situation asneutrally as possible.
Gravis turned to Jaimy, and for the first time in public, showed an actual expression. Gravis sighed and looked with compassionat Jaimy. The audience wasn't sure if they could believe their eyes. Gravis had never shown anything but a neutral expression.They had even started believing that he didn't have any emotions at all.
Of course, Gravis wasn't emotionally dead. He was still happy, sad, excited, afraid, and other things. He just couldn't show it toothers. If he showed his emotions, others might look at him as a human and would start getting close to him. When thathappened, Gravis would need to push them away again. This was the best way to keep others away from him.
Jaimy looked at his unconscious brother with shock. What now?
Gravis sighed again. "You can't pull someone to strength," he said, and Jaimy looked at him. "By giving him what he wants, youare keeping his will weak. With a weak will, he will never be able to temper his Spirit. If his will does not increase, he will neverreach the Spirit Forming Realm," Gravis explained. That was the most he had ever talked in public in the Lightning Guild.
The onlookers with a stronger will nodded and believed Gravis, while the weaker ones sneered at him. Too many people couldn'taccept that they lacked in some aspect. That was what stopped them from growing.
Jaimy looked at Gravis, and then at his unconscious brother. Then he looked at Gravis again and sighed. "| understand." Withthat said, he picked up his brother and left the plaza. Gravis really hoped that Jaimy understood. That would help him in growingstronger.
Gorn was grinning from ear to ear. That Frank guy had won multiple tournaments in the past because everyone else hadconceded. Gorn felt like the tournament lost its purpose because of him. Frank had also always failed in upgrading his LightningSeed to 50% Destruction Energy. Gorn felt like giving him the seven days on the fourth level was a waste of resources.
Gorn walked over to Gravis and patted his shoulder. "Well done! I'll prepare the fourth level for you, and | should be done inabout eight hours. By the way, you don't have to go immediately. You can use the seven days anytime in the next two months. I'llbe looking forward to your strength after that!" he said as he patted Gravis’ shoulder again.
Gravis looked at Gorn and smiled. "Thank you," he said, and Gorn nodded. They then went their separate ways. Many discipleswanted to talk with Gravis, but he ignored them. He couldn't grow closer to others. Even talking with Gorn was already a risk.Seeing that Gravis didn't deign to talk to them, they judged Gravis to be an arrogant jerk. Who did he think he was?
About eight hours later, night hadalready arrived, and Gravis waslooking at his new saber with a grin."When I'm backy@dtl 62 my Kewweapon, Ke said while feeling theFormation Array lines on its surface.Finally, he could use his new saber.
