Chapter 523: Climbing To The Top

"What I wish for is of your business," Grey turned to the judge coldly.
"Pestilent child, I hope you do not regret your decision," The judge replied.
His impression of Grey just took a big dip down. He was even having thoughts of trying to recruit Grey a few minutes ago, but now, he wanted nothing more than for Ezra and Jesse to beat the living hell out of him.
Ezra turned to look at Jesse, "Why don't I give you the p???sur? of satisfying the wish of my Teacher?"
Jesse squinted his eyes, looking at Grey.
"As you wish, but as soon as I am done with this shrimp, we'll begin our battle," He nodded.
Ezra smiled before turning to look at Grey coldly, since he dared to speak to her Teacher so rudely, he had entered her blacklist. If she were the one who fights against him, she didn't know if she could hold herself back from killing him.
"Where do you think you're going?" Grey asked as Ezra was about to step down from the stage.
Ezra paused, looking at Grey with her icy gaze, "Only after you defeat him do you have the right to speak to me,"
Grey wanted to stop her, but since he decided against it, "Fine, stand by the side, you'll be coming in shortly,"
After saying that, he walked onto the stage, staring at the huge stone that was in the sky. He was a little interested in how it worked, but he didn't have the luxury of checking it out since he had a lot on his hands right now.
"Where did a proud monkey like you come from?" Jesse asked after Grey stood in front of him.
Grey tilted his head slightly to the side when he heard his words, staring at the youth who was speaking to him. He didn't say a word, turning to look at the supervisor as if to ask when can I start pummeling this guy?
"Begin!" The supervisor called out a few seconds later.
As soon as the supervisor called for the start of the battle, Jesse vanished. He was a Space Elementalist, so he wouldn't attack like others.
This was Grey's first time in dealing with other Space Elementalists aside from Void, and he couldn't help but shake his head at Jesse's use of the space element.
When the crowd saw Jesse disappear, they all thought this was the end for Grey.
"Looks like the battle ended before it even began," Ezra commented.
Just as everyone was waiting for Jesse to appear out of the blue and send Grey flying. They saw something that stunned them.
Grey, who was previously standing idly on the stage, took a simple step forward, stretched out his right hand to the left, and to the greatest shock of every person in the arena except for Void and Sylvia, Jesse suddenly appeared, his neck firmly grabbed by Grey.
It was like he pulled him out of the space tunnel he was hiding.
"What?!" The judges, crowd, supervisor, and other fighters were dumbstruck by what they saw.
Grey was slightly taller than Jesse, holding him by the neck, he holstered him up into the air, with just one hand. It was like he was holding a baby.
He tilted his head to the side, studying Jesse properly.
"You were saying?" He asked mockingly.
With a simple motion, he tossed Jesse out of the stage. A small smile on his face.
Although he was currently grumpy, he didn't want to create enemies all around, else he would've beaten Jesse to the state that he would find it difficult to walk for a month or so.
Jesse's figure first crashed on the stage, before sliding out of it, landing on the ground outside the stage.
Ezra, who was still just outside the stage was left shocked and confused. She couldn't comprehend how it happened.
Only those with a much higher cultivation base clearly understood what just happened.
Grey being able to accurately pinpoint Jesse's position and fishing him out of the space tunnel was no easy feat, even for a Space Elementalist. But he did it with such ease that they found it almost difficult to accept.
The judge who was speaking to Grey previously was left a little perplexed.
"You're also a Space Elementalist?" He asked with a low voice.
Grey didn't reply, but his silence said the answer everyone wanted to know. He truly was a Space Elementalist.
"No wonder he's this confident," Ezra muttered outside the stage.
Doubt was slowly coming into her head since she knew even at her best day and Jesse's worst, she couldn't defeat him so easily. If Grey could throw him out of the stage so easily, then the odds of her being able to defeat him was not good.
"Please come in, I'm in a hurry," Grey said, taking a step back as if saying if you're scared, I will give you more room.
"Ezra, be careful. He is not as weak as you think," Jesse, who had already stood up from the side said as he walked towards the stage.
He was feeling slightly embarrassed after being beaten in such a quick time, and even after he brought out his biggest guns to boot.
"Don't worry, I will help you send him packing. Maybe now you will acknowledge me as the strongest after I defeat him," Ezra's confidence slowly started to come back as she boldly stepped onto the stage.
Jesse nodded, before a step back. What he found surprising was that Grey left him in a perfect state. He was basically still the same way he was before the fight started, it was as if he hadn't been in a battle a few moments ago.
"I will defeat you," Ezra said as she stood before Grey.
"Feel free," Grey replied nonchalantly while giving an inviting gesture.
He turned to look at the supervisor, waiting for him to call for the battle to begin.
"Begin!"
