Chapter ?857 Unexpected Situation


    "First of all, I''d like to thank everyone who participated in the sparring contest as well as those who participated in thepetition and gave us the victory…" The Faction Leader spoke calmly, but his voice was audible for all to hear.


    He addressed the issue of the importance of the secret realm since it was one of the few ces that allowed those in the Sage ne entry. Most secret realms had a limit of the Overlord ne, so the geniuses above the Overlord ne couldn''t go in, but this particr one allowed those in the Sage ne. This was why it was coveted by other Factions when the Pyrmond Faction started to decline.


    The Syphilis Faction was the only one that managed to seed. This is one of the reasons why they could produce more Sage ne Elementalists faster than the Pyrmond Faction. Although the Aurora Faction was superior to these smaller realms, those realms were very beneficial to youths who were still growing.


    In the case of Grey and the other geniuses, they would be able to grow at an even faster speed if they were sent to these special realms.


    "Now that we''ve gained control over the secret realm once again, we''ll be holding apetition for those who would want to enter for a training trip. Thepetition will start in two days. As a special reward for being victorious, each of the ten individuals who went for thepetition are given free ess to the domain." The Leader said.


    None of the other youths felt envious of the privilege given to those who participated in thepetition. They all tried to gain a spot, but they lost in the contest, so all they can do is ce their hopes in thepetition that will be taking ce in two days.


    The Leader spoke a little longer, encouraging those who wanted to take part in thepetition. When he was done, he left the asion. There was no use in him staying there any further.


    Grey asked Alec if he could leave since the asion was as good as finished.


    "What do you mean? It just got to the fun part." Alec said with an excited smile.


    "Fun part?" Grey raised a brow.


    "Just watch." Alec nudged him to look ahead.


    Grey looked forward and saw all the youths below the Elemental Venerable ne stepping out.


    "What''s going on?" He asked curiously.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    "There''s always a special session after each ceremony hosted in the Faction. The strongest geniuses from each ne would step out, well, more like each stage in said ne. For instance, you see that guy over there?" Alec pointed at a young man who looked to be around twenty-five years old or so.


    Grey followed his hands to a young man with blue spiky hair. He stood just over six feet tall and had a well-built body. He has a short beard and mustache.


    "That''s Kevin, he''s the strongest individual in the Late stages of the Sage ne. He''s already been at the Peak for some time now, and it''s said he will be breaking through very soon." Alec exined.


    He started to point out the other geniuses regarded as the strongest in the Mid and Early stages of the Sage ne.


    Grey listened to his words carefully while taking note of the people he called. He tried to memorize their faces and names in case of future purposes.


    Before Kevin started off the special session, he turned to look at Grey.


    "I heard you''ve already awakened your domain. If it''s not a problem, we all would like to see it." Kevin said in a booming voice.


    Everyone turned to look at Grey. It was said that he used his domain during thepetition, this was something that the other youths found shocking. Grey was still in the Overlord ne, after all.


    Kevin who was already at the Peak of the Sage ne still hadn''t awakened his domain. He couldn''t say he was jealous of Grey, but deep down, he wished he had awakened his domain.


    "Don''t worry, he doesn''t mean any trouble." Alec reassured Grey.


    Grey nodded before standing up and walking over to the tform that had been raised on the ground.


    When Grey got to the tform, he bowed to the geniuses on the Sage ne as a form of respect. They were all his seniors, and although there were a few individuals he was older than, he didn''t really care about it. To him, only the strong had the right to be above others. Since he was still weaker than they were, then he was their junior.


    Eva, who was a year older than him, was among those on the tform.


    "I''m Grey." He introduced himself before taking a deep breath.


    His eyes glowed with pale blue light and the tform was covered with a blue inferno, however, there was a difference between this me and the one he used previously, it gave off intense icy chills.


    Those at the Early stages of the Sage ne felt a cold chill run down their bodies and they quickly used their elemental essence to block the effects of the cold.


    "Eh?" Grey let out a surprised exmation.


    He didn''t expect the sudden change in the temperature of his mes.


    Each of the Elders who were present when he used his domain in thepetition stood up in shock. They exchanged nces and even the Faction Leader who was gone suddenly appeared.


    Grey deactivated the domain quickly, a little shocked by what just happened.


    He hurriedly sent his spiritual senses into his body and saw the pale blue me inside him rotating slowly.


    ''Damn it! This thing couldn''t pick a better time to react?'' He couldn''t help butin, but he still wore the same casual expression.


    Only those who were present at thepetition found his domain strange. It had the same color as when he used it back then, but the effect waspletely different, which was very abnormal.


    Grey looked in the direction of the Elders and could also see the shock in their eyes. He almost wanted to facepalm, but he had to keep a straight face.


    "Icy fire, you truly are special." Kevin praised.
