Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 709 - Start Of The Competition II

The competition progressed in an organized manner. With these powerful Factions hosting the competition, these people taking part wouldn't dare to act unrestrained.

It took almost three days before the top two hundred for the Origin Plane was picked. The numbers that registered were just too many, so they had to divide the number of battles taking place.

According to what was said, those in the Overlord Plane that registered were actually higher than those who registered on the Origin Plane.

When the top two hundred were picked, it was time to either continue the competition and see if they could get a good ranking in their respective stages.

Other than challenging members of a Faction, there is another way in getting into a Faction of your choice, getting to the top ten. Any Elementalist who manages to enter the top ten can pick whichever Faction they desire.

Only ten people challenged a member of a Faction immediately, and all ten were defeated within two minutes at most. Some were taken out with a single blow. Seeing this sent chills down the spines of the others he had the thought of challenging them.

They all decided it was best to wait and try to see if they could sneak into the top ten.

"Aren't they a little too powerful?" Klaus couldn't help but comment.

He didn't feel too confident in defeating anyone from the Faction any longer. The strength showed by those in the Origin Plane was already beyond his expectations, and he rated them very highly to begin with, if even that isn't enough, then getting his wish was going to be more difficult than he thought.

"These aren't even the cream of the crops. They're just those close to them." Kyle said.

Klaus, Alice, and Reynolds were shocked by his words. If these people weren't the strongest, then how powerful would those at the top be?

"Well, I can't wait to find out how powerful they are when I join their Faction." Klaus said, looking at the same Faction fervently.

The main reason Klaus picked this particular Faction wasn't mainly because it was an all-girls Faction, but because they had the best ice techniques according to what he found out and what Kyle told him. They were also said to be the best water Faction in this Region. If he wanted to join a Faction, then it had to be the best, at least then he would know that he could grow quickly.

Being a all-girls Faction was just a bonus for him. He naturally didn't have any lewd intentions towards them, getting entangled with any of them will only sully his name. But he still enjoyed seeing beauties. Who wouldn't want to see beauties?

"By any chance, do you know what the secret realm they go to is like?" Klaus pointed at the all-girls Faction.

"Other people rarely know what the secret realm of another Faction looks like. Although, there are times that some Factions or Families will actively invite people over to explore one of their secret realms. Most big Factions and Families have more than one secret realm. These are like the backbone of a Faction since it's what makes their geniuses grow stronger faster." Kyle explained.

"Hmm, so that's a no?" Klaus asked.

Kyle shook his head with a soft smile. He knew Klaus understood the meaning of his words, but he still wanted to confirm if he knew what it looked like.

"You'll find out once you join one, no need to be too bothered." Grey stated.

This was obvious, but Klaus had his full attention on this particular Faction. They even had a catchy name, Moonlight . It was as if they weren't a Faction but a nation. Who wouldn't want to join a Faction with a catchy name?

While the group were discussing, the top two hundred had started their battles. Those who challenged the members from a Faction and lost still had the chance to redeem themselves if they could get to the top ten. Of course, they could still catch the eyes of those powerful figures in the Factions as well. So they had to put up their best.

A few representatives from smaller Factions were still around, they could snap up all those who were rejected by the top Factions. It was shocking that an Origin Plane Elementalist who was still around fifteen years or so would be rejected. In the Azure Continent, such figures would be lauded by all. But here, some would become rejects, joining a lesser Faction.

Grey didn't watch the battles with much interest. He was more interested in absorbing that treasure. Thinking about it, they would spend some time here. If those in the Origin Plane took three days just to get to the battle of the top two hundred, then it would take longer for those in the Overlord Plane since they had a higher number.

'Void, why don't you absorb it when we get back to the Inn?' He asked Void telepathically.

'Oh, in this city?' Void asked.

'Yes, or is there a problem with that?' Grey asked.

'It's quite special, so there's a huge chance that its aura would leak out. If that happens, then we would only be inviting trouble.' Void explained.

'What about if I used a concealing array?' Grey asked.

'I'm talking about after you use it. If you don't use it, then the second we take it out, the entire city will know, even those in the Origin Plane will sense it. But with the array, only people above the Overlord Plane will stand a chance of sensing it.' Void elucidated.

'You mean?' Grey was shocked.

'This is something that people sensed even when hidden in a special place under that mansion covered in miasma, do you think your small concealing array could help?' Void asked with a raise of his brow.

Although this sounded somewhat hurtful to Grey's pride as an array specialist, he couldn't deny the fact that what Void said was the truth. Before the aura of the treasure managed to sip out even in such a place, how could he conceal it?
