Lightning Is the Only Way

BANG!

"But I'm telling you, I'm Gravis!" Gravis shouted as he punched the desk in front of him, but the desk wasn't damaged in any way. By now, the clerk and Gravis had been at this topic for over ten minutes, and they had moved to the clerk's office.

"And I'm telling you that there is only one person named Gravis working as a Research Assistant. You don't look like him, you don't feel like him, and you don't have the Obsidian Ring on you," the clerk said back with annoyance. "I don't know what you're trying to accomplish, but it's not going to work!"

"Like I said, my cultivation has changed my look, and I lost the ring!" Gravis shouted back. This whole conversation was grating on his nerves. He hated it when people told him that he was lying. Gravis was pretty sure that he knew his own fucking name!

The clerk snorted. "Even if that were the case, Gravis has left only two days ago, which would be equal to about six years. How would you have reached the Unity Realm in only six years? On top of that, look at your ridiculously overtrained Will-Aura. How would you even do that in six years?"

"You're telling me that there is no way to reach the Unity Realm in such a short amount of time? Also, I went through a lot of tempering to get that Will-Aura, and it took me only six years! If I can achieve this Will-Aura in only six years, you can't tell me that there is no way to reach the Unity Realm in six years!" Gravis shouted back.

"Sure, there are ways to reach the Unity Realm in a short amount of time," the clerk said, "but all the lower worlds available to Research Assistants follow the Will-Forging Path. The fastest way to progress in that path is to remain at least ten years in the Spirit Forming Realm. Even with the help of pills, your Spirit still needs to adapt!"

Gravis clenched his fists in frustration. "Then how about I just tell you how I achieved it? You should be able to verify if that is possible or not!" Gravis shouted back.

The clerk shrugged. "Sure. Telling us everything you learned about cultivation is your job either way," the clerk said as he summoned a Jade Token, which floated over to Gravis. "Put it against your forehead and make your Spirit enter it for about five seconds. It automatically records everything you know about cultivation."

Gravis grabbed the Jade Token out of the air. Many people wanted to keep their cultivation a secret, but that was impossible for Gravis. After all, it was literally his job to gather and deliver the knowledge of a lower world.

Whoom!

Gravis put the Jade Token at his forehead and made his Spirit enter it. He felt his Spirit being filtered by the Jade Token, and after five seconds, it pushed his Spirit away. "There! Go check it for yourself!" Gravis shouted with annoyance as he threw the Jade Token back.
