Chapter 773 - Going Through The Gifts

'Did you sense them?' Grey asked Void telepathically.

'Yes. Looks like they were out to cause trouble for you guys, but Klaus managed to evade it.' Void replied.

Grey's eyes were cold, but he didn't say anything to the others. When they were stopped by the trio, he sensed some Sage Plane Elementalists. He originally planned to head over to where they were, but he hastily stopped when he noticed they weren't in the Early stages of the Sage Plane.

The trio must've been wary of his domain, so they brought people who were powerful. However, when they were leaving, Grey sensed a familiar yet strange aura appear for a brief moment. After the aura appeared, he noticed he couldn't sense the Sage Plane Elementalists anymore.

'How come the aura is so familiar?' He wondered to himself.

With the increase in his strength, his sensory ability naturally improved as well. This was not the first time he was sensing this particular aura. Back at the Azure Continent, when they were captured, and Klaus' father was fighting against the others, he also sensed this aura for a brief moment. Due to the situation, he didn't take note of it.

But now, he was sensing this same aura again. There was no way two people would have the same aura.

Grey didn't show any odd signs after sensing the aura, he continued acting as if nothing was wrong.

'Void, can you try to track the person?' He asked Void.

'No, whoever you're talking about is either not here, or is too powerful that he can easily hide from my senses.' Void replied.

'Hmm.'

Other than Grey and Void, none of the others sensed the people who were hiding in wait for them. Had Klaus not avoided having any conflict with the trio, things might have been a little different.

They got back to the Inn and each went to their rooms. Grey decided since he had nothing to do, he should go through the techniques given to him by the Factions.

One of the skills he acquired was the technique to manipulate space. Other than his skill switch, he didn't really have any great space elemental skills.

'This will be useful in the future.' He said in glee.

This was the main reason he wanted to join a Faction. Compared to the Azure Continent, the Aurora Continent had a better variety of elemental techniques. The techniques in the Azure Continent could be said to be the basics, while these ones were the advanced ones.

He showed the skill to Void, and in a matter of seconds, Void was able to comprehend it.

"It's a shame the person who did that move was evil." Void still regretted the fact that he couldn't learn the Great Void technique.

What he found more annoying was that the skill even had his name on it. And he couldn't learn it. How frustrating!

Grey laughed when he heard this, he knew Void was talking about the skill he got from the trial land.

"Don't worry, you'll find a way to learn something different." Grey comforted him, "Hey, why don't you teach me that distortion thing you do. It's a powerful attack."

"No. I'll just take it that since I can't learn that skill, you won't learn my special skill as well." Void refused.

Grey continued begging, and after bargaining with seven shiny things, and promising to cook his favorite meals for a week, he finally agreed to teach him only part of it.

According to Void, Grey shouldn't be in a hurry to learn this skill since it was dangerous. When Grey attempted it, he realized Void was right. The skill required a high control of space, and with Grey's current elemental grade, he wouldn't be able to do so. He might risk trapping himself in a dangerous situation.

The Moonlight Faction gave him a powerful ice skill. It involved creating an ice cube in the air and it will continuously attack a particular target. It involves using his spiritual energy to mark the target, and within a five hundred meters radius, the ice cube will continuously dish out attacks.

Grey went through a lot of techniques, and he couldn't help but feel gratitude towards the Elders who gave him the gifts. This was one of the reasons he wanted to get into a Faction, the second reason was those secret realms. According to what he knew, all top Factions have realms they send their geniuses into the train. These domains are rich with treasures, so he would see things that would make him grow stronger, and faster.

He still hasn't forgotten about his two years deal. Months have already passed, so he had less than two years. The quicker he grew, the better for him.

The last time he saw the young man, he was already at the Peak of the Overlord Plane. Grey was certain the young man had broken through to the Sage Plane a long time ago, so even with his insane speed of leveling up, he still wouldn't be a match for the young man if they encountered each other right now.

By the time he finished going through the skills and picking out which ones he would focus on, it was already daybreak.

Klaus and the others came once again to drag him out with them. They would be separating soon, so it was best to spend every minute together.

They walked around the entire town, going to every place they could possibly go. They even attended an auction later that night. Joyner was the one who invited them to the auction.

The group only went there for the fun of it. After the auction ended, Joyner invited them for a small party at his place. The Mayor even appeared this time, speaking with the group.

Klaus continued socializing with everyone. The person who hated him the most was the Earth Elementalist he eliminated from the three-way battle. When they crossed paths, the Earth Elementalist snorted coldly.

Klaus smiled awkwardly before walking away.
