Boom!

A figure was sent flying from the place of the explosion.

Bang!

The figure crashed heavily into the platform.

When the crowd stared at the figure, they were stunned when they realized it was unexpectedly the young man. Looking at where the young man was previously standing, they saw Grey standing there, gasping a little for his breath.

Before they could process what was happening, Grey had shot towards the young man who was still on the ground.

Boom! Bam! Bang!

Within a few moves, he sent the young man flying once again.

Crash!

The young man bounced off the ground, and just before his body could get to the ground again, Grey appeared, slamming a large ice hammer into his body.

Bang!

The young man was sent flying again, this time, heading towards the crowd, away from the platform.

Bang!

He slammed into the ground just below the first row of seats. Blood dripping from the side of his mouth, not showing any signs of moving.

Those related to him hurried towards where he crashed, after checking and seeing that he was only unconscious, they heaved a sigh of relief.

It was only after this did everyone turn to look at Grey in amazement, even the lady who had been with him for a while still had this expression on her face. It was clear that even she didn't know of this skill.

….

In the special area.

"What an impressive skill, he switched places with his opponent just before the explosion happened," The lady remarked.

The others nodded with a serious expression. This was a skill that would take anyone unaware.

What Grey did was simple, the attack he did was only a feint. What he really did was not only causing an explosion, but he improved the force of the young man's attack, while using the chance to switch places with the young man.

There was no way the young man would expect that he would be thrown into such a predicament, hence he was unable to set up a defense against it which caused his defeat.

"With such a move, will anyone be able to defeat him?" The Faction Leader asked.

"It will be difficult, but they should. Well, as long as he doesn't have any more surprises," An old lady from one of the big families replied.

"From what he's shown so far, do you think he doesn't have more surprises?" The Faction Leader asked.

Although he hadn't been in contact with Grey for long, he could tell he was a very cautious person. There was no way someone that cautious would show all his cards. There is definitely something he was still hiding, something more powerful.

But the truth was, he didn't really need it since only this skill was enough to deter anyone from recklessly attacking him. As long as all his opponents were holding back, he could easily dominate some of them.

Those in the special area weren't the only ones who were discussing the skill Grey just showed, the entire arena was abuzz because of it. From thinking Grey was defeated to seeing him miraculously changing positions with the young man, defeating him in the process.

The rest of the challengers stared at Grey in trepidation. It wasn't that they weren't confident in their abilities, but this ability of Grey's was just too unpredictable.

If they send out a powerful attack and he suddenly switches places with them, then they would be in danger of not only receiving their own moves but also Grey's attacks.

….

The head of the Gayle family lost more hope when he saw Grey's new skill. Initially, he hosted this event to see who would be able to help him get revenge, but now, he didn't think anyone would be able to. Even if they could beat Grey, none of them could kill him before the lady intervenes.

He asked Grey if he wanted to continue, and Grey shook his head, opting to take a break.

He didn't say anything, taking a seat as well, his expression showed disappointment and anger. Grey was right in front of him, but he couldn't do anything to him.

He even sent some geniuses who he thought might be able to do at least a small amount of damage to Grey, but it was futile. Grey even fought them together, and none of them managed to hit him.

Petra was his best hope of harming Grey with her poison-like attacks, but it was even more hopeless.

While Grey was still resting, he heard a voice in his head.

'Alright, mission accomplished . You can stop fighting now,' Void said.

'Oh, alright. I'll fight two more battles before losing,' Grey replied.

….

In the special area.

Void soon appeared from nowhere, jumping into the lap of the lady who was sitting close to the Faction Leader.

None of the people there noticed when he appeared. Even the lady, it was only after she felt him on her lap did she realize he was back. A smile formed on her face before she turned to look at Grey, her eyes clearly telling him to give up immediately so they could leave this place.

The reason she set up this battle was surprisingly because of this. Initially, she only planned to take what Void wanted, but the idea suddenly came to her when she realized Void could actually sneak through any array set up. This was when she had the grand plan of stealing from all the big families at the same time.

Grey on the other hand wanted to see how far he could go. So there was no way he was planning to give up now.

"Huh? Such a strange cat, when did it come here?" The Faction Leader was the first to notice Void.

"He's been here for a while now, but how would you notice him when you're praying your students defeat that kid," The lady replied casually.

"Oh, I didn't take note, don't mind me," The Faction Leader quickly ended the conversation.

Grey had been beating people up for a while now, it would be a shame if the lady decided to continue their battle from before.

….

Twenty minutes later.

"I'm ready," Grey stood up, walking to the center of the platform.
