Lightning Is the Only Way

After Arc left, Gravis' mood had improved by a ton.

Tempering!

It was high time for some more tempering!

Even more, this would be his first opponent six levels above himself!

A feeling of overwhelming pressure appeared on Gravis' shoulders.

He knew that feeling.

This was the very familiar feeling of pressure Gravis got whenever he was about to truly put his life on the line.

However, the feeling of pressure had a much greater impact than usual.

Usually, Gravis enjoyed this feeling since it meant that Gravis was about to become even more powerful. This feeling had accompanied Gravis ever since he had started cultivating. It had been ever-present for a huge part of his life.

But things had changed.

Now, Gravis was not only living for himself but for others as well.

Especially Stella.

What if he died?

In the past, Gravis wouldn't have minded dying since it that would only have meant that he hadn't been powerful enough.

But now?

Now, Gravis had a lover.

What if he died?

What would Stella feel?

How much pain would Gravis' death inflict on her?

There was an old saying: "A man without shoes doesn't fear someone with shoes."

This saying refers to the concept of loss.

A man that was so poor that they couldn't afford shoes didn't have anything to lose. Because of that, such a man was willing to jump into danger again and again.

No one would miss them.

They didn't have any accumulated wealth.

Why not bet the little things he had for a brighter future?

In comparison, the man with shoes had a family, wealth, and a high status in society.

If he died, all of his past work would have been for nothing.

In the past, Gravis had had nothing to lose but his life.

His father and mother would get over Gravis' loss and continue on. Because of that, Gravis had never feared death much.

But now, Gravis had invested over 200,000 years into his Cultivation, and he had reached a terrifying amount of power. Even more, Gravis had Stella now, and Gravis had no idea how Stella would deal with Gravis' death.
