Lightning Is the Only Way

WACK!

A cane hit Gravis' head, breaking him out of his concentration.

"Stop wasting all the good Balzar!" Old Man Lightning shouted with anger at Gravis.

Gravis stopped punching as he rubbed his head in annoyance. He looked at Old Man Lightning, but before he could complain, he noticed all the "stones" in his vicinity. The stones all came in different shapes and sizes. Some of them were pyramids, while others were squares. There were even more complex shapes like dodecahedrons.

Gravis even noticed some disciples of the Lightning Sect looking at some of the stones in appreciation. By now, the disciples only took away the ugly, useless stones but left the beautiful ones lying around. Gravis even saw an elder looking at the stones in appreciation as he happily combed his beard.

Many of the stones were even placed in multiple lines, according to their forms. The stones at the start of each line had the rough outline of the final shape, while the last one showed the best example of this form. Apparently, the disciples had created a "path of progression", showing Gravis' progress in controlling his physical power.

What shocked Gravis was the sheer amount of stones. There were so many that it was hard to count. "How long have I been punching?"
