Chapter 576 - Breaking The Norm

"Show off," Void muttered when he saw how Grey chose to deal with the Earth Elementalist.

He could easily kill him with a powerful attack or even a flashy one, but he picked the simplest method that would leave anyone who didn't know him in awe.

"Hmm, I should do this more often," Grey said to himself as he turned to look at Reynolds.

Reynolds continued staring at him, at a loss for words.

What did he just see? An Origin Plane Elementalist beating an Overlord Plane Elementalist with a finger.

Grey didn't even use any elemental powers, he just outright bullied the man with his immense monstrous physical strength.

What the hell?!

Just when Reynolds felt he was a little better than Grey, this happened.

He couldn't help but shake his head, however, he was beyond happy for his friend. With Grey's current strength, they could run amok in the Azure Empire. If those people in the Sage Plane didn't show up, then they were good.

"You can call back your Elemental Warrior now, I can deal with that guy as well," Grey suggested.

Reynolds snorted, but still quickly called back his Elemental Warrior. He was already almost on the verge of running out of elemental essence, he wasn't going to foolishly keep it active when he could try to recover.

"You, you're not in the Origin Plane," The man who was fighting against the Elemental Warrior said, pointing at Grey.

"Oh, I'm very much still in the Origin Plane, but compared to the Overlord Plane Elementalists I've fought, you're not in the top five hundred, that's plus those in the Early stages," Grey said.

His words sent the hysterical with anger. What did Grey mean by he was not in the top five hundred of Overlord Plane Elementalists he had fought against?

One has to know that he was a high and respected individual in the Qilin Empire, he was only forced into chasing after a youth by the Emperor, and the greed of obtaining a good reward that might help him advance further. He could already open an Academy in the Empire if he wanted, and it wouldn't be regarded as a small Academy given his strength. However, he was being undermined by a small brat in the Origin Plane.

Even if said brat was powerful, he was afraid of him. Besides, it was unheard of that an Origin Plane Elementalist could defeat an Overlord Plane that is already in the Mid stages.

Grey shook his head when he saw the man's behavior, "Hey Rey, how long do you think he will last?"

Reynolds thought for a few seconds before replying with a doubtful expression, "Five minutes?"

"If it was a few months ago, yeah, he might even be able to escape with his life. Hehe, but now," Grey grinned as he turned to look at his opponent, "He doesn't stand a chance,"

If it was before he fought against Lucan, then this man might have had a chance of escaping, but now, he was certain that he could kill him, very quickly for that matter. He was already far more powerful than he was at the time he fought against Lucan.

The man was once again infuriated by Grey's words, and he attacked without holding back.

A stream of fire came crashing down on Grey and Reynolds.

Grey's expression was still its usual nonchalant one, as he threw a fireball that exploded in front of them, blocking the attack of the man easily.

The man was mid-air, so striking him was a little difficult for Grey. Unlike the Aurora Continent where only a selected few Overlord Plane Elementalists could fly, here, Overlord Plane Elementalists had the freedom of flight.

"*Sigh* Such a headache," Grey muttered as he used the wind element to push himself into the air, rushing towards the man as he attacked aggressively.

Boom! Bang!

They exchanged blows, with the man being forced back from the impact of the attack.

His eyes widened as he stared at Grey who was using the wind element to keep himself afloat.

"Impossible! It must be a mistake," He refused to believe that Grey was more powerful than he was.

How could an Origin Plane Elementalist be more powerful than he is? It was unacceptable, even in his grave he will never believe it.

Bam! Boom! Bang!

They continued exchanging blows, and the more blows they traded, the more he was being forced back.

Grey was systematically forcing him down since he couldn't stay mid-air for long.

He suddenly disappeared, appearing in front of the man. He covered his right hand with the fire element, before sending out a powerful punch.

Although the man was caught by surprise, he still acted accordingly, setting a defensive fire screen in front of him. But to his surprise. It broke apart as soon as Grey's hand made contact with it.

Bam! Crash!

He came crashing down, slamming into the ground hard.

Blood dripped from the side of his mouth as he hurried to his feet. His hands were shaking as he tried to use them to block Grey's attack after his fire screen was broken.

'What sort of monster is this?' He questioned in fear.

The appearance of Grey had shaken him to the core. How could an Origin Plane Elementalist be this powerful? No, how could someone so young be this powerful?

Multiple questions were running through his head, but he was certain of one thing, he was no match for the youth standing in front of him. He had to escape.

Grey threw a fire snake his way, and the man smiled, he suddenly recalled one special ability an Overlord Plane Elementalist has that Origin Plane Elementalists will never have, being able to forcibly take control of a weaker Elementalist's elemental attack.

He raised both hands and tried to take control of Grey's attack that was only a few meters away from Grey. But he was in for a greater surprise because the moment he tried to take control of the fire snake, something smacked away his connection with it.

It was a simple smack, but the backlash made him cough up a mouthful of blood.

He was once again forced to defend against Grey's attack.
