Lightning Is the Only Way

"Is that something you can decide?" Gravis asked.

"No, but I can," an unknown voice said.

SHING!

Someone new arrived beside the Immortal Emperor of the Nine Elements Sect. The Immortal Emperor immediately bowed to the second person.

The new person was an old man with white hair. He had a long beard, and his eyes were kind. If one didn't know any better, one would assume that this was a very kind grandpa.

Gravis immediately noticed why this old man seemed so approachable. 'The Law of Empathy, eh?' Gravis thought. 'So, it's not a coincidence that Stella knows the Law of Empathy. A second person from the Nine Elements Sect also knows it, which probably means that the Law Comprehension Area for the Law of Empathy is under the control of the Nine Elements Sect.'

"With whom do I have the pleasure?" Gravis asked with a polite smile.

"I'm Vice-Sect Master Li," the old man said with a smile. "I have seen your battles, and I am willing to invite you as a Holy Son Candidate."

The surrounding Immortal Kings became shocked. A Vice-Sect Master of the Nine Elements Sect! This meant that this person was a Major Circulation Immortal Emperor! Except for the Ancestors and Sect Masters of the other Peak Sects, this was one of the most powerful people in the world! What an honor to see one with their own eyes!

"I thank you deeply for your invitation," Gravis said politely, "but I first want to finish the tournament before I decide if I want to join or not."

The old man sighed. "Young man, I don't think that's a very good idea."

"Why not?" Gravis asked.

"Because the actual tournament will have geniuses from other Peak Sects," the old man explained. "Even among the candidates here, there are two with a Will-Aura at the level of a Mid Minor Circulation Immortal Emperor. If you fight them, even with your Law of Major Suppression, you won't be able to suppress your opponent. At that point, you will inevitably lose."

"I don't doubt that you can fight two levels above yourself, but you can't forget that there is no one left in this tournament that can't also fight one level above themselves. In essence, you would need to jump three levels."

Gravis nodded. "However, I still want to try. If I lose, I lose. I see no problem with that. Losing is part of becoming more powerful."

The Immortal Kings and the Immortal Emperor were surprised. It was not easy to admit something like that. All of them were geniuses, and which genius didn't have some arrogance and pride in their bones?

Usually, these geniuses built their powers on victory upon victory. Many of them couldn't even imagine losing, and losing would also be a major humiliation for them.

However, this peak genius didn't mind losing. This was a rare disposition.

The old man nodded inwardly with praise but didn't show it. Instead, he showed a bitter smile. "You might not mind losing, but that doesn't mean that others won't mind," he explained.

Gravis nodded again with a smile. "I know, but what others mind doesn't have any bearing on me. I am I. They are they."
