Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis entered the arena under the shocked eyes of the onlookers. His opponent also quickly entered.

The expression of his opponent could be guessed with ease.

He looked with disdain at Gravis.

Fighting someone like this was beneath him! He could fight one level above himself, but he was supposed to fight two levels below himself now? What a humiliation!

Bzz!

A small Punishment Lightning bolt appeared on Gravis' saber for a brief moment. The other participants scoffed. Why was this guy already showing his Element? Didn't he know that this would give his opponent valuable intelligence about his fighting style?

Only the remaining unaffiliated Cultivators and the upper echelon of the Nine Elements Sect knew what had happened.

Gravis had reforged his saber just now.

However, it had been so fast that they hadn't seen what exactly Gravis had done.

"I don't know what dogshit luck you must have had to get here, but it ends today," Gravis' opponent said with disdain.

Gravis didn't answer and just took out his saber.

"Don't take your opponent lightly," the old Vice-Sect Master in the arena transmitted to Gravis. "You've had easy opponents up to now, but this is a genius from a High-Rank Sect. He is far more powerful than your previous opponents."

"The Sect Master was kind enough to give you the weakest person from the High-Rank Sect so that you don't humiliate yourself. However, even if he is the weakest, he is still far more powerful than any opponent you have ever faced."

"Vice-Sect Master," Gravis transmitted. "Have you seen my first three fights in the preliminary tournament?"

"No, but what does that have to do with anything?"

"I won my first three fights in just a second because my opponent didn't take me seriously. Guess how this fight is going to go," Gravis answered.

"This is not a beginner," the Vice-Sect Master answered. "He won't make that kind of rookie mistake."

'Won't he?' Gravis thought. 'Sadly, it's not up to him.'

The Vice-Sect Master was frustrated that Gravis wasn't listening to him.

"Begin!" he shouted.

WHOOOM!

Suddenly, some weird kinds of fluctuations appeared in the air.

The other participants were confused. What kind of fluctuations were these?

The Vice-Sect Masters were also confused. What was that? They had never felt anything quite like it.

However, the Sect Master's eyes widened.

She knew these kinds of fluctuations!

Their current Holy Maiden had also shown these kinds of fluctuations previously!

The Sect Master didn't know what Law it was that created these fluctuations, but she knew that their Holy Maiden also knew this Law. Sadly, the Holy Maiden had never told them what kind of Law this was.

Yet, nothing really happened.

These fluctuations traveled throughout the central palace, but the opponent didn't seem different. Gravis also didn't seem more powerful.

What was the point of these fluctuations?

Obviously, this was the Law of Freedom.

Gravis didn't need the Law of Freedom for anything right now. He hadn't even unleashed it for the fight.

No, this was a signal for Stella.

Gravis had to lure Stella here, and this was the best way. No one should be able to understand the purpose of these fluctuations. Because of that, even if Stella arrived, no one would become suspicious.

After all, it was natural to be curious about something like this.

'That should alert her,' Gravis thought. 'Now, I only have to wait.'

Gravis' opponent also furrowed his brows in confusion.

What was the point of these fluctuations?

At the same time, Gravis activated his Law of Control and Safety to elevate his opponent's confidence.
