Chapter 710 Start Of The Competition III


    ''Howe it''s safe in your spatial storage?'' Grey asked when he thought of the fact that the item was kept in Void''s spatial storage all this while and it hasn''t been sensed by others.


    ''Simple, I cut off every ess it has to elemental essence. Without it, it''s basically ordinary. Once ites out the amount of essence it would absorb would rm the entire city, and they would be able to easily track it here.'' Void exined.


    ''Oh, that''s why. So what do we do about it now?'' Grey asked.


    ''We''ll have to leave the city, at least a five kilometers distance away. That wouldn''t even guarantee our safety. Then, there''s also the possibility of an expert above the Sage ne going past that ce, putting us in even greater danger.'' Void said.


    Grey felt a headacheing when he thought of this. If what Void said is true, which it most likely is, then he couldn''t afford to absorb the treasure now, which meant Void would have to seek other methods to break through.


    ''I guess we''ll have to wait till we join a Faction, and even that wouldn''t guarantee our safety. All I need to do is try to get into one of those secret realms, no one below the Sage ne can defeat me, so I wouldn''t have anything to fear there.'' Grey came to a decision in a short time.


    He was already under the danger of being found by the necromancers after his head, if he were to take out such a treasure, then it would make others search for him as well.


    ''This is like a ticking time bomb.'' Grey thought to himself.


    It took two more days before thepetition for those in the Origin ne ended, now, it was time for those in the Overlord ne to begin.


    The next day.


    Grey and his friends looked at each other confidently. They all registered at the same time, so ording to their calctions, they would be able to enter the same tform. If they were grouped among fifty people, they wouldn''t have any problems with qualifying for the next round.


    Only when thepetition was about to start did they realize a piece of vital information, two of them were in the Mid stages, Alice and Reynolds, while the other two were in the Late stages.


    Since it was done stage by stage, those in the Early stages of the Overlord ne were the ones who started the brawl.


    "Damn, and it thought we would''ve been able to run rampant here." us said with a disappointed look.


    "I honestly forgot about this as well." Grey said.


    It took almost two days before those in the Early stages of the Overlord nepleted their brawl. They also continued to the next round which was drawing lots.


    Two more days went by and those in the Early stages finallypleted their part of thepetition. Surprisingly, two people managed to defeat members of the Factions they wished to join and didn''t participate any longer in thatpetition. Those who managed to enter the top ten picked the Factions they wished to join.


    It was time for those in the Mid stages of the Overlord ne. Alice and Reynolds stepped forward. Since they registered at the same time, they were ced in the same tform.


    This didn''te as a surprise to the group.


    "You two shouldn''t embarrass me, remember I have people to impress. When they consider if I''m qualified, they would also look at the people I came with. It would be a shame if none of you manages to get into any Faction." us encouraged the duo.


    Well, it couldn''t really be called encouragement, it was more like him pleading with them to perform exceptionally well so the Faction he wanted to join would know he was friends with geniuses as well.


    "Heh!" Reynolds smirked as they walked towards the tform.


    Alice couldn''t even be bothered with us and his words. All her attention was ced on a particr Faction, Asterope. This was one of the best lightning Factions in this Region. Reynolds wouldn''t be joining the same Faction as her, opting to join another one.


    They made sure to look at the rtionship between both, and only after confirming that both Factions weren''t enemies did they decide.


    On the tform they were ced, there were multiple youths in the Sixth stage of the Overlord ne. Reynolds was still in the Fourth stage of the Overlord ne while Alice was in the Fifth stage, but Reynolds could be said to be the most powerful person if he brought out his Elemental Warrior.


    He didn''t n on bringing it out now though, his aim was to get into the top two hundred and challenge someone from the Faction he wanted to join. Once he defeats his opponent, he wouldn''t take any part in thepetition any longer. This wasn''t Alice''s n however, unlike Reynolds, she loved fighting, so after challenging a member of the Asterope Faction, she would still take part in thepetition.


    When everyone was on the tform, thepetition began. With fifty people ced on one tform, they were a lot.


    The battles were disorganized since the people were too much and only a few of them grouped up.


    Alice and Reynolds stayed together, fighting off any person who came close to them. They eliminated any of the people who tried to attack them while also making sure they were on their guard.


    As time went on, the number of people on the tform started to dwindle, and before long, there were only ten people left on their tform. With ten people left, the ce was spacious and they could take their time fighting.


    The remaining participants looked at each other, all wary of their strength. Reynolds was the only one in the Fourth stage of the Overlord ne that was left on this tform. This naturally brought a lot of attention to him.


    A few of the people here with a higher stage couldn''t afford to see someone in a lower stage advance when they couldn''t.
