Chapter 499: Genius Ranking

The head of the Gayle family stared at Grey, waiting for him to give him the number of people he wanted to fight.

"One," Grey said.

His words didn't surprise anyone since they've all noticed he was a cautious person, only after being certain that he could fight against a certain number does he increase it.

They all knew he would naturally be able to defeat this person with ease, but they were all still waiting curiously for the battle to begin. This was the most dominant display they've ever witnessed, and even though the person wasn't from their city, they still felt excited by it.

A young man with an orange track-suit looking uniform stepped forward.

….

The crowd was stirred when they saw the young man who walked onto the platform.

"It's Harry from the Pyro Faction,"

Someone from the crowd said when they saw the young man walking forward.

"Isn't he the most powerful Elementalist in the First stage of the Overlord Plane and ranked fifty-two in the Early stage Overlord Plane ranking in the region?" Someone asked.

"Yes. Now, this should be an entertaining battle. Harry has defeated someone in the Second stage of the Overlord Plane before, so he's not someone that could be categorized among those in the First stage of the Overlord Plane," Someone else replied.

In the Aurora continent, each continent has a ranking where the young geniuses are all ranked according to their strength and stages. There is a rank for those in the Origin Plane, Overlord Plane, and so on. Each ranking is further divided into the Early, Mid, and Late stages.

….

"Guess you're going to be something of a challenge," He said.

"You're impressive, I'll give you that. But your run of continuous victories ends here," Harry said gently.

"Alright, I hope you'll be able to make me unleash at least fifty percent of my strength," Grey nodded, excited.

"The same goes for you," Harry replied confidently.

Grey nodded, turning to look at the head of the Gayle family.

"Begin!"

Swoosh! Bang!

Harry was covered by a burning stream of fire as he shot towards Grey like a jet.

Grey attacked with a stream of water, but Harry was able to blast a hole through the stream of water while still going towards Grey.

"Good! Haha," Grey laughed out when he saw how easily Harry was able to break through the water.

He only released it to test Harry's strength. Had Harry been unable to pa.s.s through the water stream, he would've been heavily disappointed since he was hyped for the battle. Of course, he knew he would definitely win.

Boom! Bam!

Harry soon got within a few meters of him, attacking with unbelievable strength.

Grey created an ice wall in front of him, blocking the attack.

After the first attack was blocked, Harry instantly attacked again, slashing out a fire sword that was over five meters long.

Bam! Crack!

Cracks soon started to appear in the ice wall, running like webs. Harry didn't delay, instantly attacking again with the fire sword.

Grey didn't stand there just defending, seeing that his opponent was different compared to others, he instantly created an inscription, attacking Harry with it.

Harry dodged to the left just as the attack was about to hit him, while still continuously attacking the ice wall which had started to fall apart after the first three swings from the fire sword.

Grey didn't panic when he saw his ice wall coming down, instead, he attacked Harry again. Ice spikes came out of the ground from where he was standing, quickly going towards Harry.

Harry sent out a large fireball towards ice spikes, destroying them as they headed towards him. Unfortunately, it didn't stop the attack from continuing.

He stomped his feet on the ground, and fire exploded out of the ground, propelling him upwards.

The ice spikes came out of the ground just after he was sent upwards.

Grey pointed his finger at him, and one of the ice spikes turned into water, stretching towards Harry like an elongated arm.

It soon grabbed hold of his ankle, before yanking him down.

Harry controlled the flames around his body, circling the water arm that was holding onto his ankle like a snake, before destroying it.

He landed softly on the ground after this, staring at Grey with a serious expression.

Grey smiled before red lightning ran across his body.

Buzz! Whoosh!

Harry was surprised by Grey's speed. He covered himself once again with the fire element before spreading his arms in all directions.

Tiny flakes of fire spread out, they were just as small as snowflakes. With his eyes closed, he inhaled deeply.

His eyes soon snapped open, turning to his left and attacking with a fire raven. The speed and timing of his attack were very precise since it didn't give Grey any chance to evade it, well, unless he chooses to use the s.p.a.ce element of course.

Grey was forced to receive the attack head-on. He didn't want to show his s.p.a.ce element yet since he felt the longer he kept it unused the better for him. The consumption of the s.p.a.ce element's essence was very high, and he still had around one hundred more challengers to go, all in the Overlord Plane.

Bang!

He blocked the attack with his ice and lightning element, but the force of the attack forced him back by a few steps.

….

When the crowd witnessed this, they cheered in excitement. For the first time since Grey started fighting, someone actually managed to force him back. Although it was just by a few steps, it was still an achievement.

The Faction Leader of the Pyro Faction nodded with a small smile.

"What are you happy about, he'll still lose," The lady by his side said coldly.

The Faction Leader's expression changed a little when he heard this, but he still felt proud.
