Chapter 531: Top Fifty

Grey and his group got to the arena a little sooner than they previously did.

On getting there, the news of one of the previous partic.i.p.ants found dead circulated across the place. It was other than the young man who threatened to kill Grey the previous day. He wasn't found alone, according to reports, some other people were found alongside him, all dead.

When Grey and Sylvia entered the arena, they drew a lot of attention because of this matter in particular.

Before they could sit down, one of the judges flew towards them, giving off a malicious aura.

"What did you do to him?" The judge asked coldly.

She was one of the few females amongst the judges.

Grey looked at her, a little taken aback.

"Sorry, but what are you talking about?" He asked, not sure what the lady was referring to.

"Kyle, you killed him didn't you?" The lady said.

"I'm sorry, but who's Kyle?" Grey asked with a confused face.

The lady was incensed when she saw this, before sending a powerful pressure with her cultivation base at Grey. But her expression soon changed when she didn't see any form of distress on Grey's face.

'Impossible! Even those in the Overlord Plane wouldn't be able to neglect my pressure. There must be a treasure with him, a powerful one at that,' The lady thought, looking at Grey with evil intentions brewing.

"Stop playing dumb, he said those words out of anger, yet you sent people to kill him," The lady said.

"Oh, you're talking about that guy from yesterday? If I wanted him dead, I would've done it myself. I'm not that shameless to send people after him," Grey said, before taking his seat beside Sylvia who was already sitting.

The lady was about to press further when she suddenly sensed something, she paused, looked at Sylvia before turning around quickly, not daring to stay any further.

The confrontation by the lady further increased the discussions in the arena.

Thirty minutes later.

The battle lasted for about one hour thirty minutes, and Grey was the only Origin Plane Elementalist left. Ezra and Jesse were unfortunately defeated by an Elementalist in the Third stage of the Overlord Plane.

With the top fifty confirmed, it was time for the start of the challenge.

Just like with the Origin Plane ranking, they would challenge an individual higher than them on the rankings.

For the first time in a long time, one of the names in the top fifty was unexpectedly still in the Origin Plane.

Grey was surprisingly ranked fiftieth, even when everyone knew he could get a better rank than this.

'Who would you be challenging?' Void asked Grey.

'I think the person ranked thirtieth. Although I want to get this done quickly so we can leave this place, I can't be careless and fight against someone too powerful. If I'm able to get into the top twenty, I'll be satisfied,' Grey replied.

'Okay,' Void nodded.

'There's also something bothering me, although she hasn't shown any malice towards me, I still don't know her purpose for staying with me, and why is she so adamant in me getting stronger?' Grey said, throwing a quick glance at Sylvia.

He might not show it, but he was still very cautious towards her. She was someone who forcefully entered his life, although she had been of some help, he wasn't one to trust people he knew nothing about.

'Yeah, I think you should ask her after this, maybe she will give you a reply this time,' Void suggested.

'I will, but after we leave this place,' Grey replied.

He wasn't in a hurry to challenge anyone. He planned on seeing the strength of those in the top thirty, before picking an opponent. If he feels he is powerful enough, he might even challenge those in the top twenty.

There's a possibility that he might only challenge a single individual, so he wanted to make sure he made it count.

Two hours later.

The rankings had changed drastically within these two hours, and people with lower ranks had shot up. The most notable one was other than the young man with amber hair who fought against Grey the previous day. He had managed to climb from the fifteenth position to tenth after putting on a solid performance against the previous tenth place genius.

Grey was genuinely stunned by the battle. The young man with amber hair was powerful, at least more powerful than what he showed the previous day. There were a few techniques that the young man used that he was certain would give him a difficult time.

With everything set in place, Grey decided he would challenge the person ranked eighteenth. The reason for this was that there's a chance others would advance in their ranks, pushing those above them down. If someone below the top twenty were to defeat the person ranked seventeenth, then the person would take that spot, while the others would move down by a rank.

Most of the people below the top twenty had tried challenging those in the top twenty, and only a few managed to improve. Other than a few changes, the rankings were the same, with almost the same names in the top twenty.

When Grey stood up, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the arena. They were all curious as to who this young genius would want to challenge.

Being the only one in the Origin Plane, he attracted even more attention than the youth who was ranked first.

He slowly walked towards the stage, a nonchalant expression on his face.

After getting to the arena, he told the supervisor the person he wanted to challenge.

The person ranked eighteenth was a young lady called Catherine, she was a Dual Elementalist, having both the lightning and earth element.. She had been challenged once today, but she obtained a resounding victory, easily defeating her opponent.
