Lightning Is the Only Way

"Oh, hey! It's that guy!" the Black Magnate said, furrowing his brows like he tried to remember something. "What was his name again? Yolo?"

"No idea," the Opposer said.

"It was Yi Lu," Gravis answered them.

"Ah, right, Yi Lu!" the Black Magnate said with a nod.

Yi Lu quickly arrived in front of Gravis and turned his back to him in a protective manner.

"Master, I finally understand!" Yi Lu shouted with a heartfelt voice.

Gravis blinked once.

"You didn't give me the next part of your memory since you were ashamed!"

Gravis blinked twice.

"You have been so outstanding in the lower Realms, but as soon as you came into contact with the truly powerful Cultivators, you realized how hard it actually was to compete against them!"

"You were ashamed of yourself, and you wouldn't want me to notice your weakness. In front of your Legacy Disciple, you didn't want to appear too weak. You also didn't want to make me afraid of the future!"

Gravis blinked again.

"What?" he asked, baffled.

"You don't need to be ashamed anymore, Master!" Yi Lu shouted as he stood valiantly in front of Gravis. "Once a Master, always a father! I don't care how powerful you are! I will always protect you with my life!"

Gravis looked at the sky.

"Is this some kind of joke?" he asked.

Orthar didn't answer.

"No, it's not a joke!" Yi Lu shouted, not looking behind him. "I know that you might find it ridiculous that someone would be willing to protect you in such a cruel world, but I am a filial disciple! I will always help and protect you, no matter how powerful I will become in the future!"

"Are you serious?" Gravis asked.

Yi Lu turned his head to Gravis with a kind smile. "Master, I am already very powerful, and I can feel your Battle-Strength. You don't need to hide your true self from me."

Gravis lifted an eyebrow.

"You are only average in the Peak Immortal Emperor Realm. I have always been below you in power, which made it impossible for me to notice it. I was always confused why you said these things in the past, but after feeling your Battle-Strength, I know now."

Yi Lu put his hand comfortingly over Gravis' shoulder.

"You don't need to worry! I will save the Myriad Sect!" Yi Lu said as he turned towards one of the two legions. "I won't let Master's Sect be obliterated!"

"No worries! I will protect you and the other disciple beside you!" Yi Lu shouted stalwartly.

'Other disciple?' Gravis thought as he looked beside himself.
