"The rules are simple, you bet with the current number of wins you have. You can't go lower than five, and higher than fifty."
Grey nodded and looked around the place, waiting for who would step forward to fight with him.
When betting, unlike during challenges, you can fight against anyone. In so cases, even with people who are three stages above you, all on the premise that there is mutual consent.
After listening to Jonas suggesting this, he ca the next day to try it. He already has ten wins, if he bets all ten and wins, he would get ten to his, making it twenty.
When the person in charge of the arena saw him, he told him of his desire to bet with his current wins, now, all that's left is for soone willing to gamble with him to step forward. If he doesn't see anyone, he would return to his five regular daily challenges.
He stood on the platform for over a minute and no one stepped forward. When he was about to give up, a petite figure walked to the arena.
"I'll take that ten wins off of you." The petite figure said with a soft chuckle.
It was a young lady who looked quite thin, but Grey didn't think much of it since there were multiple races here and he had seen a group that had the sa features as the young lady.
"Since I'm three stages above you, I'll offer double what you wagered." The young lady said.
Grey turned to the man in charge, who nodded to what he wanted to confirm. The man was also from one of the races in this place.
The young lady chuckled softly as she accessed Grey, "Why don't you take off your mask?"
"I'm sorry, I have a bad scar." Grey replied calmly.
The young lady didn't push any further and waited for the start of the battle.
Everyone looked on with interest, Jonas also wanted to see just how far this young lady would be able to push the seemingly invincible Grey.
The man in charge of the arena called for the battle to start.
The young lady's figure faded off the arena, leaving Grey alone.
'Be careful, she's from a race that excels in illusions. They use mists to create things that will confuse you.' The bunny leader transmitted its voice to Grey.
Grey was alerted and increased his guard. He even set up his new light elent technique of instant healing whenever injured. If he were to be caught unaware and unable to block the attack, he would use this to heal himself and start his fight with the young lady.
When the young lady appeared again, she laughed and waved her hands at Grey. A thin thread shot at Grey.
Grey covered his body with flas, not letting the thread touch him. However, the thread passed through the flas, grabbing his hand. He saw the thread tug, and subconsciously, he took a step forward, leaving the protection of his flas.
The young lady appeared by his side and threw a punch, Grey's figure was forced a few steps back.
Grey touched his right arm which he used to block the punch and sensed that it was cold. His eyes glowed with a blue light and he looked at the young lady. This was an attack he hadn't used for a long ti, and there were even occasions when he forgets that he has it, but whenever he faced tough opponents, who are aware of so of his abilities, he would use this to catch them unaware.
The young lady looked away the mont she saw his eyes.
On the sitting area.
Jonas looked at the duo standing on the platform, a strange look in his eyes. Since the start of the battle, the young lady had been standing in one place, and so has Grey.
He suddenly saw Grey move forward as if he was being tugged, and then he moved to the side, while in a blocking pose.
He looked at the young lady and after digging through his mories, he recalled the race she was from. They were people who excelled in using ntal attacks and illusions.
He never thought Grey would encounter such a tough opponent during his first battle. What was worse was that the young lady had a higher cultivation stage. Even with Grey's unique abilities, he didn't think Grey would be able to easily deal with her.
His expression, changed when he saw Grey's eyes glow. Not just him, but everyone else. They never thought that Grey was also proficient in ntal attacks as well.
With this, he would be able to fend off the ntal attacks of the young lady.
….
On the arena.
The eyes of the young lady glowed with dark blue light and turned to Grey.
She looked at Grey, surprised before saying, "You can also use ntal attacks?"
Grey looked at her, and then at his arm which he couldn't feel the cold sensation from before anymore, and nodded, his eyes stayed glowing as he rushed after her.
When he was attacked by the punch, he knew that there was sothing wrong with the attack, and recalling the words of the bunny leader, he acted quickly.
The young lady chuckled and said, "It's still not going to change your fate."
After she finished saying this, mist started to spread on the platform.
Grey halted in his tracks and blue flas rose from where he was standing and started to spread everywhere, fighting against the mist. He didn't want to allow the young lady to do as she pleased.
His attack power was strong, just on par with the young lady's. She was in the Eighth stage of the Elental Venerable Plane, yet, she couldn't overpower Grey who was still in the Fifth stage.
The mist tried to push forward, but Grey's flas stood strong, fending it off.
An ice rain started to fall. The ices were all in the sharp of sharp needles.
Grey created an earth screen above him, blocking all the needles that were falling toward him.
