Lightning Is the Only Way

"Yes, it's the Law of Humility," Samantha said with a smile. "I'm surprised you guessed it."

"There are not many Laws that can hide one's power in front of me," Gravis said. "The only one I know is the Law of Humility."

"Quite a big boast," Samantha said with a slight chuckle. "Why haven't you used such a subtle boast before you showed your Form Law? That would have been much better."

Gravis became a bit red in the face as he remembered his ridiculous boasts. "I'm not good at boasting."

"I noticed," Samantha said with a smirk.

"How come you know the Law of Humility?" Gravis asked, trying to change the topic. "Does the Purist Sect have control over the Law Comprehension Area for the Law of Humility?"

Samantha hummed a bit. "Half-true. We do have control over an area that can teach someone the Law of Humility, but it's not really a Law Comprehension Area."

Gravis was confused for a second, but he quickly got a suspicion.

"Heaven's Trial?" he asked.

Samantha looked with confusion at Gravis. "What's that?" she asked.

Gravis was a bit surprised that Samantha didn't know. Wasn't she now Arc's second-in-command together with Narcissus? Shouldn't she know Arc's background?

"Do you know your teacher's background?" Gravis asked.

Samantha became nervous when Gravis asked that question.

No, in fact, she didn't know about Arc's background.

She only knew that Arc was someone that couldn't be judged with normal means. Arc was ancient. He had been there before even Narcissus had been born, and that had been over a million years ago.

Her teacher had always been someone incredibly powerful and mysterious in her mind, someone she couldn't understand.

"No, I don't," she said.

Gravis nodded. "If he didn't tell you, it's not my place to tell you," Gravis said. "However, I suspect that the place where you can comprehend the Law of Humility is something that Arc has set up. By chance, is it possible that only a few Cultivators manage to survive while going in there? Also, is it an area that you can't control or investigate with normal means?"

Samantha was surprised when she heard that.
