Lightning Is the Only Way

The disciple was shocked when the infamous ogre talked to him directly, but he quickly complied and called his Sect Master.

The Sect Master arrived after just a couple of minutes. "Hello, Gravis. You wanted to talk to me?" she said. She was a white-haired woman who obviously had an affinity towards the Brilliance Element.

"Yes, I called you to inform you that I'm done with my Laws," he said.

The woman's eyes widened in surprise. "You're done?" she asked.

Gravis nodded. "Yes, I have comprehended all the Laws which require me to enter Law Comprehension Areas. I can comprehend the remaining Laws that I need on my own. I will still be somewhere in your territory for the next ten thousand years or so, but you won't see me. I will be somewhere deep in seclusion, where no disciple passes."

"After that, I will leave for the Core Regions. After today, your Sect Alliance and I will no longer come into contact," Gravis said.

The Sect Master became happy when she heard that. This meant that they no longer needed to keep watch over the infamous ogre. Everything would return to normal again. However, she still had a question.

"Why don't you join one of our Sects?" she asked.

"Why would I?" Gravis answered directly. "This Sect Alliance is a dead end."

The Sect Master furrowed her brows. "What do you mean?"

Gravis looked at her evenly. "There is a limited amount of tempering here for everyone. Additionally, all the fights are only one versus one battles. You might become amazing in one versus one battles, but as soon as you fight multiple opponents, you will be out of your comfort zone."

"Additionally, the disciples mostly have the initiative in choosing their opponents, and they won't fight against someone that has a very high chance of killing them. Even more, a lot of the fights don't result in death. After all, killing another Sect's disciples, even if it is according to the rules, is frowned upon. You are all one Sect Alliance, right? No one would want to see the Sect Alliance's strength weaken due to a death."

"So, in short, even though you have a ton of Law Comprehension Areas, your tempering opportunities are horrible.," Gravis said.

The woman didn't like what she was hearing, but she also acknowledged that Gravis had a point.
