Chapter 750 - Snowing

"Show off." Klaus said the second Grey returned.

"You're just envious you can't perform that well." Reynolds snickered.

Klaus had the advantage when they were in the cursing session a few moments ago, so now that an opportunity presented itself, Reynolds didn't plan to let it go.

Klaus glared at him, not bothering to quarrel with him any further, "Just watch my performance. I promise to stun you speechless."

Klaus stood up and was about to walk to the platform.

"Where are you going?" Grey asked with an odd expression.

"I'm going for my… oh." Klaus paused, realizing it wasn't his time to head to the platform yet. The other battles that started along with Grey's were still ongoing.

Due to his argument with Reynolds, he actually forgot about this.

"What a nice performance, I'm speechless." Reynolds took advantage of the opportunity and mocked Klaus once again.

Grey chuckled, Alice tried to hide her laugh, but Klaus' expression made it impossible to do so. With her laughing, Kyle and Reynolds joined in as well.

Klaus walked back to his seat, looking at the group with a grumpy expression. He promised to get his revenge on Reynolds, which made him shudder.

They waited for almost thirty minutes before this round ended. Just as Klaus was about to stand up once again, Grey tapped him on the shoulder and shook his head.

The others saw this and burst out laughing once again. It still wasn't Klaus' turn yet, but because he was anxious to show his skills, he forgot once again.

Klaus gave an embarrassed laugh before watching the battles taking place on the platform. The second young lady who was lauded to be among the top ten took part in this round. Her opponent was a Lightning Elementalist in the Ninth stage like her.

Unlike the first young lady's opponent, hers was stronger. It took her almost ten minutes before she defeated him comfortably.

Grey was taking note of all the people he felt might be able to give him a good fight. He still hadn't used all his strength yet, but he was already ranked among the few who would definitely get into the top ten.

The fire based Factions were the ones who had their hopes high, the reason for this was because of his special flames. And seeing how frequently he uses it, they were certain it was the element he liked using.

What they also found enticing was his unnaturally strong physique. Elementalists weren't supposed to have such powerful bodies, but Grey defied their norm.

Some space based Factions also had hopes, while the earth based Factions were the ones with the lowest confidence. The only bargaining chip they had was that there were a few earth elemental techniques that might be able to improve Grey's physique. They noticed he was someone who for some reason trained his body, and the earth element was the best in body improvement.

While the Factions were plotting on how to get Grey, it finally got to Klaus' turn to fight. He sat down a few seconds longer just to be sure. Only after the man in charge looked at him did he stand up in a flamboyant manner.

Others thought he was trying to get everyone's attention when the truth was that he wasn't sure if it was his turn yet.

Reynolds laughed at him as he swaggered to the platform. Klaus had a handsome face, if not for Grey, he would've been the most handsome person here. His hair was well combed back, with a small strand hanging in front of his face, making him look even dashing.

Klaus stepped on the platform and looked at his opponent.

"Don't think this will be an easy battle. I'll defeat you." The young man said with a serious expression.

"I'm looking forward to it." Klaus replied in a cool and collected manner.

The man in charge of the platform nodded when he heard the exchange between the two, and after confirming that they were ready, he announced the start of the battle.

Swoosh! Bang!

The young man was a Wind Elementalist. And the second the battle started, he created a pattern on the ground and a powerful gale surged from the ground. His plan was to send Klaus airborne.

Klaus was taken by surprise, but he managed to react quickly. Ice formed on his legs, pinning him to the ground. With this, it was impossible for him to be lifted into the air by the young man's attack.

Seeing that his attempt was a failure, the young man didn't dismiss the technique, instead, he left it active and attacked with multiple wind blades.

Klaus was stuck in the same spot, so all he could do was block the attack with an ice wall.

The young man continued attacking, moving around, hoping to catch Klaus off guard. If Klaus tried to move, he would have to remove the ice which would give the wind the chance it needed to send him into the sky.

Grey shook his head when he saw this. The young man was taking a risk, but Klaus wasn't someone who had zero fighting experience. This would work on people who didn't have sufficient experience, but on someone like Klaus who had engaged in multiple battles, even going as far as fighting against an empire, this was child's play to him.

"He's making a mistake." Alice said.

Kyle nodded. Anyone who was experienced wouldn't be worried about this attack.

"He couldn't even beat him up a little. Damn it." Reynolds shook his head.

He knew Klaus would win, but he hoped the young man would at least give him a tough challenge, this way, he would be able to get another chance at mocking him.

While the group were discussing, a change occurred on the platform. Klaus, who had been stationary since the start of the battle moved. Ice grew all the way to his knee, and to the surprise of the young man, Klaus exploded forth with a terrifying speed.

His expression changed as he hastily tried to block Klaus' incoming attack. However, he was taken aback when he saw the snow around the platform. The attack he wanted to use was frozen.
