1139: Four Domains

Four Domains

Void and the bunny leader were planning on how to turn the turtle into turtle soup while Grey was focused on his training. This was a good opportunity for him, so he didn't want to waste it. 2

….

Two weeks went by in a flash. 

Grey finally opened his eyes and looked at the turtle. 

The turtle seemed to sense his movements and opened its eyes to take a glance at Grey, a little hint of doubt flashing through its eyes, unsure of why Grey stopped cultivating. 

"I'm done." Grey spoke up after a moment of silence. 

"Done… with what?" The turtle was taken aback. 

Grey's skin started to harden under the astonished eyes of the turtle. 

It had been just over fifteen days, and Grey had gotten the hang of the technique. 

Although it couldn't be said that Grey had grasped it perfectly. He had however gotten the basics and could use it in the future. The more he used it, the better it would get. 

The turtle continued staring at Grey in amazement, it couldn't say a word. The reason for this was that he knew just how difficult it was to master this technique. Grey used only fifteen days, it didn't even want to believe it. If not for the fact that it knew Grey hadn't come across this technique beforehand, it wouldn't have believed Grey learned it in such a short time. 

'Genius!' The turtle's eyes lit up as he looked at Grey. 

This was a true genius. Such a difficult technique was comprehended and used within such a short time. It didn't even know how to classify Grey. To it, others who were regarded as geniuses were just normal people in the presence of Grey. 

"How long did I cultivate?" Grey asked curiously. 

He wasn't aware of the time and was afraid he must've stayed for too long. 

"Around two weeks." The turtle replied. 

Grey did a rough calculation and realized it was just over a day. It wasn't bad since his gain was massive. This technique was not the only thing he gained here. Actually, he used about ten days to learn the basics of the technique, and his greatest gain was the increase in the elemental grade of his earth element and the awakening of his earth domain. 

Grey was only in the First stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane, yet he already had four domains. If people found out about this, they might pull their hair out in frustration. 

Presently, both his fire and earth elements were in the emerald elemental grade, a shocking feat. Of course, he was still behind Void whose elemental grade for all his elements was the legendary black grade. 

The turtle had no idea Grey completed his training within the two weeks and even used some time to awaken his earth domain. 

Grey used the momentum from learning the new technique, the increase of his elemental grade to his advantage, and the earth domain opened up quite easily. 

He couldn't hide the pride in his eyes, with his current abilities, his defense had shot up by a large margin. One has to know that he still had dragon scales. Adding this to it would make his body harder than most weapons. There's also the armor. 

With Grey's current capabilities, he might not be able to beat a Late stage Elemental Venerable, but there was nothing they could do to him as well. No matter how they attack, they would not be able to break through his defense. This was a freakish ability, especially given the fact that Grey had terrifying explosive power. All he needed was an opportunity and he might be able to one-shot stronger opponents. 

The turtle didn't keep Grey there any longer, "Since you've learned the technique, you can leave. Remember, you're not allowed to pass this on." 

Grey nodded to the turtle's words. The turtle was the master of the technique, and since it didn't want him to pass it to others then he wouldn't.

Void and the bunny leader who had wandered off to explore the place came back on Grey's call. The duo had a bored expression, it was clear that they didn't like their stay here. There was nothing interesting to do. 

Grey thanked the turtle, and after bowing he vanished from the spot, sent to the next stage. 

The moment Grey left, a figure appeared. 

"You taught him your technique?" The old man asked. 

He had been keeping tabs on what was happening here. 

"Yes. That was the requirement to leave." The turtle replied. 

"And he learned it?" The old man looked at the turtle with a skeptical look. 

"Yes, in two weeks." The turtle said with a dry laugh. 

It couldn't even hide its shock. 

"Two weeks?!" The old man exclaimed. 

The turtle nodded and commented, "He's the greatest genius I've ever seen."

The old man looked at the turtle, still in disbelief. If Grey really learned the technique in such a short time, then there was nothing wrong with what the turtle said. Although the praise was high, it wasn't undeserving. 

Grey was a shocking genius, this, the old man was aware of. Even still, he didn't expect him to exceed his expectations. 

"Where did he get the cat?" The turtle had a strange look on its face. 

"I don't know. He came in with the cat. It must have always been with him." The old man replied, he was still in shock. 

The turtle didn't speak any further. 

The old man vanished after some time, he was still in disbelief. 

….

Grey appeared in a large building, and the moment he appeared, he saw a strange little girl with five others dressed in black robes. The little girl flashed a brilliant smile when she saw Grey and vanished almost immediately with the five others. They had just succeeded in the task and were on the verge of leaving when Grey appeared, when she saw Grey, although she felt regretful, she knew another opportunity to meet him would come.
