Lightning Is the Only Way

"Senior, join my Burying Earth Sect!" a guy shouted suddenly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the floodgate was opened.

"No, join my Dark Descent Sect!"

"Join my Burning Light Sect!"

All of the guards immediately started stepping forward and assaulting Gravis with offers. Usually, they would take turns in getting the Ascenders. That was also why only the grey guard appeared in the beginning. If an Ascender didn't fit their Sect, the next Sect would be allowed to make an offer.

"Shut up! It's the turn of my Flowing Water Sect!" a blue guard shouted.

Yet, no one cared. Even if they had to break the agreement, they had to get Gravis! Someone that knew so many Laws would increase the power of every disciple immensely! Gravis could teach them a lot about their auxiliary element and all the other kinds of Laws.

Gravis' status had transformed immensely. Weak Elemental Cultivators were called servants, but powerful Elemental Cultivators were called Elemental Teachers! A Weapon Sect that used an auxiliary element would need these Elemental Cultivators to comprehend more Laws so that they could teach the disciples these new Laws.

Elemental Teachers were very valuable to every element-related Weapon Sect, and it was basically unheard of that an Ascender was already one. Usually, the Sects would have to create their own Elemental Teachers out of Servants.

Gravis only smiled. 'Power is everything. That's true in every world. The weak become suppressed while the powerful ones gain freedom,' Gravis mused in his mind.

"Calm down," Gravis said with a smile. "I really appreciate all your offers, but I'm looking for a specific one."

The guards calmed down immediately, waiting for Gravis' words. Would they be the lucky ones?

"I specialized in lightning and sabers," Gravis said. "Is there a fitting Sect?"

Immediately, all the guards started grimacing.

Except one.

"Yes, here!" a guard in white and blue armor stepped forward. He had a saber on his back, and Gravis could feel some lightning inside the guard.
