Lightning Is the Only Way

They traveled for about a day. Gravis couldn't use his full speed while pulling his three children with him. Yet, Gravis actually didn't want the journey to end. He loved this feeling of harmony so very much.

Even though Gravis appeared strong and powerful, he had always felt alone in this world. Yes, he considered the Grand Elder and the Empress as friends, but friends were different from family. He always distracted himself with cultivation, but that didn't make the feeling disappear entirely. It just moved it into the background.

Now, with a family of his own, Gravis finally no longer felt alone. This world was no longer just a simple training ground on his journey but another home for him. His children were here, and he cared for them immensely.

Of course, all good things must come to an end, and the four of them arrived at the spot that the Grand Elder had told Gravis about. A lot of level one Lords congregated here as they all waited for a King to escort them to their future training grounds.

The three kids were shocked when they saw so many Lords. There were over a hundred of them! Every single one of them would serve as tempering for them. After all, the three of them were still High-Rank Spirit Beasts.

"This is only a glimpse of the true vastness of the real world," Gravis told them. "These beasts are only the ones that have reached the Unity Realm in the last ten days. In the next twenty days, their numbers will most likely triple. There are many Lords in this world, and this is only a tiny amount of them."

The three of them nodded with narrowed eyes. They finally saw beasts that they could actually fight here! To them, it felt like it had been forever since they last saw such worthy opponents.

"Don't try to fight them randomly," Gravis instructed them. "These beasts are part of our Empire. They are not the enemy. Don't waste your precious tempering experiences by fighting duels. As soon as you create a Tribe of your own, you will feel the difference between fighting wild beasts and actual war."

The three of them nodded. Gravis had told them that every tempering opportunity was precious and that they should use them in an optimal way. Gravis had also told them that a war with multiple enemies felt much more chaotic and uncertain, which would immensely help their temper. The three of them were not so stupid to ignore such sound advice.

"When the King arrives, I will tell them to send you to the area for level two Lords," Gravis said.

The three of them felt nervous when they heard that. Yes, they wanted tempering, but this sounded more akin to certain death than tempering.
