Chapter 765 Klaus’ Breakthrough

Chapter 765 Klaus' Breakthrough

"Don't worry bud, at least Grey will take first place, and you'll be close to the top ten." Reynolds gloated at Klaus' misfortune.

"I'm still going to qualify." Klaus retorted.

"All beat up, right?" Reynolds asked with a smile.

"Not at all. I'll be in my best condition!" Klaus stated.

"Okay, I'd like to see how that would be possible." Reynolds didn't believe Klaus would make it to the top ten unscathed.

He knew Klaus would win, but there was no way his opponents were not going to make things difficult for him.

Grey shook his head when he saw Reynolds taking advantage of Klaus' misfortune. He was also in line with Reynolds' words, there was no way Klaus would make it to the top ten in peak conditions. Unless he received treatment after the three-way battle.

With his light element, he should be able to help him out. But there's an extent he could use it to since the elemental grade is still low.

'I should take out time to check my elemental grades.' Grey thought to himself as he looked at the arena which was starting to look empty.

It was already sunset, and the three-way battle would be taking place first thing in the morning. So there was no use in staying at the arena any longer.

The group stayed at the arena a little longer since Klaus decided to speak with a few of his Faction members.

When Grey got back to his room, the first thing he did was enter the Chaos space.

He hadn't tried improving his comprehension of any elements for some time now. Although during their journey he had been doing it a few times, he mostly just focused on his space element.

When he appeared in the Chaos Space, he appeared at the mountain peak where the testing device was located. Without any delay, he placed his right hand on the device and it came to life.

A strange energy entered his body and after going through a circle, it returned to the stone.

A few seconds later, the stone lit up with eight colors. The most eye-catching one was still the fire element which had changed from the cyan to the yellow grade. After that, his next element with the highest elemental grade was his lightning which was violet, but surprisingly, he realized he had another element with the violet elemental grade, the water element. It was previously in the blue grade, but it had managed to improve to the violet grade. His wind element was in the blue grade as well as his space element which had also seen an increase, his earth and darkness element were in the purple grade, while the light element was in the orange grade.

When Grey saw the result, he fell deep in thought.

'Since I managed to awaken my domain, I guess my fire elemental grade saw an increase. Comprehending that water helped in improving my grade it seems, while it's natural for the space elemental grade to improve since I use it so much. But why hasn't my earth element improved at all?' He was stumped by this fact.

It had been months now, even years since his earth element got to the purple grade, but it was still there, not improving in the slightest bit. Even his space element had come from behind to top it. It was a shocking thing to him.

'I'll have to focus on it next. No wonder I still haven't been able to learn that thing yet.' He concluded.

He had been trying to learn that move the Earth Elementalist from the Azure Empire used when battling against Klaus' father, but no matter how hard he tried, he still hadn't been able to.

Now he understood the reason, his elemental grade was still too low.

After he finished checking his elemental grade, he decided to head to the earth space in the Chaos Space. Since he wanted to improve the elemental grade, then the best thing to do was to start now.

The next day soon came.

When they stepped out, Klaus was the first among them to come out of his room. Compared to before, he had a different aura to him.

"You've gotten stronger." Grey commented when he saw him.

"Of course, thanks to the water, my breakthrough was smooth." Klaus flashed a grin at the group.

"This is still not going to change the fact that you're going to be trounced at the battle today. In fact, I can already picture you on the ground, almost out cold." Reynolds continued from where he stopped the previous day.

? ?? ??-?? ???. ??? "Hmph! At least I'm not going to be like you who was placed in a difficult position against a single opponent. I'm fighting against two people, it's natural if they beat me up." Klaus retorted with a proud smile.

Reynolds froze when he heard Klaus' reply. Klaus would be fighting against two people, so it was natural that he was beaten up, if he won against them even if he was beat up, it would still be an amazing achievement.

Klaus smirked when he saw that he had silenced Reynolds. The group joked as they went to the arena in high spirits. Klaus had broken through to the Eighth stage of the Overlord Plane, and thanks to refining his orb before breaking through, he grew even stronger after his breakthrough.

Now, he had more confidence in being able to challenge his opponents. They would not want him to advance, especially after Grey had managed to win the first three-way battle. If Klaus won this as well, then things would be a little strange.

The geniuses had come together to ensure that Grey and Klaus did not take the first and second place. It was a matter of their pride as geniuses. However, they all knew this was their only chance to stop that. If Klaus manages to win this round, then the duo would most certainly get into the top five, and from Grey's last battle, they knew he had no problems with dealing with two or more opponents.
