Affinity: Chaos-Chapter 1370 Cockiest Person Alive

"Rey, want to go first or should we wait and watch others?" Grey asked.

"It's cool, we should see how others fair against him first." Reynolds replied. He didn't want to get ahead of himself. They might've breezed through the first challenge, but it didn't mean they should not take the challenges seriously.

Grey nodded and watched as more people tried to get through the challenge. As time went on, only twenty percent of the people they met there managed to get through, the rest were not able to get through. Some managed to block the first attack, but their attacks weren't strong enough to defeat the man. So they had to face double of what they first faced.

None of them dared to take the attack, they all got off the platform without a second thought. The first attack was already almost beyond them, if they were to take double the attack, then they would be in serious trouble.

More people entered this place, but Grey and his friends continued watching as more people tried and failed.

"Done watching?" Klaus asked.

"Pretty much."

Grey vanished after his statement and appeared on the platform just after the man just finished taking out a young lady.

The man repeated the word, and Grey couldn't care less about it. He wanted to try out the man's attack.

The man took a step forward, and his countenance changed, it was about to attack but paused and took a deep look at Grey.

"You…"

It was as if a moment of brilliance flashed through the eyes of the man, but it was only for a second, before he continued his attack.

Grey didn't know why the man paused, or what he wanted to say. But he could tell there was something the man recalled and tried to say, but since the man couldn't complete his statement, he was not going to stay and find out.

If there were any secrets, he could uncover them when he finds the array formation.

The man attacked with a flaming fist, but Grey blocked it with a casual wave of his hand.

He couldn't help but raise a brow, "That's it?"

The man retreated. After attacking Grey, he had to wait for Grey's attack. He, too, would try to block it.

Grey shook his head at how easy the challenge was. He was forgetting the part where he is a monster and shouldn't be associated with other Peak Venerables.

He walked toward the man and punched out. The punch looked ordinary, but for the first time, the man was sent flying off the platform.

Everyone watching, especially those that had been here since the young lady from the Phoenix Faction passed the stage had their mouths wide open. It was as if they were watching something that was impossible.

"Does he always have to show off?" Klaus complained with a disgruntled voice.

"I should've gone first." Reynolds sighed.

Grey's performance has taken away anything they could do, which was infuriating when thinking about it.

They could've been able to at least see the look of surprise in the audiences' faces as they easily pass through the challenge, but Grey blew the man away, what's the point of even competing with him?

Grey didn't expect the man would be taken out with just one attack. He walked forward and noticed the man was fixing part of his body that was damaged from Grey's attack.

The man jumped back onto the platform and everyone saw the hole in his chest. Grey's attack caused a hole in his chest. The surprise in the eyes of everyone became even more apparent.

Klaus and Reynolds on the other hand felt like beating the man up.

"Couldn't he have waited to heal fully before coming up?" Klaus complained through gritted teeth.

"He's making things worse." Reynolds added.

"Do you think he's doing it on purpose? I saw him pause when he wanted to attack Grey." Klaus asked with a thoughtful expression.

"I have no idea, but I'm going to burn him up." Reynolds was poised for his turn.

"I'll turn him into an ice sculpture when you're done." Klaus was pumped up too.

The man took a deep look at Grey and said, "You passed."

Grey didn't walk through the door, rather, he bowed slightly and stood at the side, waiting for his friends.

After walking to the side, and leaving the platform, Reynolds appeared on the platform.

The man stood up once again and repeated the same words before attacking. His fire elemental attack was about to strike Reynolds when his Elemental Warrior suit covered his body and he slashed through the fire attack with a lightning blade. The lightning blade didn't stop with just cutting through the attack, it went on to slash the man who didn't prepare to block the attack.

Just like in Grey's case, the man was sent flying, but the man regained his composure mid-air before landing at the edge of the platform, a large gash could be seen on his chest. The cut was so deep that it almost opened up a hole on his back as well.

Reynolds nodded in satisfaction and returned to his normal state. The man was burnt from the lightning shock, and the damage caused was also massive.

The man healed up once again before saying to Reynolds, "You passed."

Klaus jumped onto the platform after Reynolds walked to Grey's side.

"I'm not like them, please take care not to hurt me." He said with a respectful smile.

Only those who overheard his and Reynolds' conversation knew that he had an evil plan awaiting the man.

The man, after fully healing himself repeated the same words to Klaus.

"I know, I know, get on with it already. I have some things to attend to, I don't want to be late." Klaus waved his hand as if to tell the man to get on with it.

His present appearance was different from the one he used when speaking for the first time. If people didn't hear him speak before, they would've said he was the cockiest person alive.
