The entire arena was sent into an uproar when they heard the voice coming from the special seating area.

  They never thought the Moonlight Faction would actually accept Klaus' challenge. Even those who were in support of Klaus didn't have much hope in him being accepted into the Faction even though they felt that it was the best Faction for him.

  Klaus, who had been waiting for them to accept his challenge sighed in relief. He knew they would accept it since they sent someone over to him, but he was still a little nervous at the thought that they might not actually accept his challenge.

  The other water based Factions all felt a little disappointed since they lost a talent like Klaus. They could only hope of getting someone that was at least close to his level.

  A young lady from the Moonlight Faction stepped forward. She was someone Klaus was also acquainted with. To be frank, he had built a good relationship with most of the people from almost all the top Factions, so he knew a few of them.

  "Diana, you were the one picked." He said with a smile.

  "Don't think I'll go easy on you." The young lady Klaus referred to as Diana replied.

  "Haha, I didn't expect you to." Klaus rubbed his nose stylishly.

  The man in charge of the platform was still a little taken aback by the fact that the Moonlight Faction actually agreed to Klaus' challenge, when he saw the relationship between Klaus and Diana, he shook his head. This was the most shocked he had been in a while.

  After confirming with both participants if they were ready, he called for the start of the battle.

  Diana was the first to attack, sending out multiple ice arrows.

  Klaus created a water ball that he used to stop the ice arrows. The arrows started to melt the second they entered the water ball. He added his special heavy water into it, hence it was able to quickly counter the ice.

  Diana was a little taken aback when she saw that her ice attack was stopped so easily. Unknown to her, Klaus' special water had a great effect on the ice. It could easily melt ice compared to normal water. It also had the effect of improving the thickness of the ice. It mainly involves how Klaus chooses to use it.

  Presently, against a Faction that had great ice users, he could be said to be their greatest enemy.

  Diana attacked once again, and Klaus blocked, using almost the same method.

  Klaus didn't let her take the initiative, after blocking a few attacks, he started attacking with his ice ability. Although Diana was part of a top Faction, Klaus surprisingly had a higher and stronger ice ability. The only disadvantage was that Diana had more techniques than him.

  They exchanged moves with Klaus getting the edge in the exchange. With his heavy water, he could easily deal with Diana's ice attacks.

  Diana was stumped as to how Klaus was able to deal with her ice attacks. Not just her, but everyone from the Moonlight Faction were shocked. Only those above the Overlord Plane could sense the difference in Klaus' water. The reason those in the Overlord Plane couldn't sense it was because he was only using a small amount of it, disguising it with the usual water.

  The Elders of the Moonlight Faction all exchanged glances. They couldn't believe there was something like this. It was a strange thing.

  "Good thing we extended an invitation to him. There's something odd about his water." The lady who spoke to them after they made it to the top two hundred said with furrowed brows.

  "Yes, he's trying to hide it. Very smart." Another lady said.

  They weren't the only ones discussing this, most of the Elders from other Factions also spoke about it. Since it was something that most of them had no clue about, they were naturally curious about it.

  Grey and his friends knew Klaus was using his special water, so they weren't really too bothered. Grey also had it, although it wasn't on the same level as Klaus', it still wasn't something that could be overlooked.

  The audience all felt stunned when they saw that in a battle between two Water Elementalists who preferred using their ice abilities, Klaus who wasn't part of a top Faction was actually the one with the upper hand.

  What does this mean? It meant that Klaus was already on a very high level when it came to using his ice ability. If he joins the Moonlight Faction, he would grow to become one of the greatest ice users in the world.

  The people who supported him from the start all felt excited about how he would grow after joining the Moonlight Faction. With the way the battle was going, it was already evident that Klaus would win the battle.

  Just as expected, Klaus started to increase the aggressiveness of his attacks. He didn't give Diana any chance to block his attacks, gradually forcing her back.

  He finally got the chance to send her off the platform with a water stream. Diana created an ice wall in front of her to block it, but Klaus' water stream breezed through it easily, before sending her out of the platform.

  Klaus stood on the platform with a calm expression. He had finally joined the Moonlight Faction. This was his goal from the start, and he achieved it thanks to a series of events. If Alice and Reynolds didn't fight before them, it would've been a little difficult to get the attention of the Moonlight Faction. But after Alice and Reynolds managed to create a huge popularity for the group, all he had to do was to show his talent.

  Although in the end, it was his talent that got him into the Moonlight Faction, he wouldn't have been able to without his friend's help.

  He walked back to his seat since another battle would be taking place immediately after this one.

  When he got back, to the surprise of his friends, he actually told them thank you.

  "Klaus, are you alright?" Reynolds couldn't help but ask.

  Chpater 754 - All Vying For The Top Spot

  Chpater 754 - All Vying For The Top Spot

  Klaus looked at Reynolds and refused to respond. Grey and Alice looked at Klaus oddly. He doesn't usually do things like this, they knew it was most likely after getting into the Moonlight Faction.

  "Are you going to continue to get a higher rank in the competition?" Alice asked.

  "Of course! You two already took the first and second position, do you think I wouldn't want that as well?" Klaus replied immediately.

  This wasn't even a question, he naturally knew Grey would defeat him, but he didn't mind getting the second position.

  The group continued speaking about the battles before Diana and a few other girls came over to where Klaus was seated. Since he was already part of their Faction, there was nothing wrong with them speaking with him.

  "How did you do it?" Diana asked.

  "What?" Klaus feigned ignorance.

  "Stop playing dumb, you know what I'm talking about." Diana said. She didn't mean this in an angry way, she was just genuinely curious as to how Klaus was able to break through her ice so easily.

  "Oh that, you see, it's quite easy." Klaus opened his palm and his special water appeared on his palm.

  This time, he didn't do anything to hide it, so it was very clear for them to notice.

  "How's that possible?!" The girls all exclaimed in shock.

  This was the first time they were seeing something like this. They all knew the water at the bottom of the ocean was extremely heavy, and they could sense such heaviness in Klaus' water. What they found shocking was how Klaus managed to do it. They had never heard of a Water Elementalist having something like this before.

  "Nothing is impossible." Klaus said with a vague smile.

  Grey and the others rolled their eyes when they saw his acting. Klaus was a genius no doubt, but he was also a crazy guy, so there's that.

  The ladies asked Klaus if he could teach them. He naturally disagreed with it. This was his specialty, although Grey also had it, Grey wasn't as proficient in it as he was. Not just that, but he knew it would be almost impossible for the young ladies to learn it.

  They disturb him about learning it, and he gave them a small orb of water that he placed in an ice crystal. It was up to them if they could understand the intricacy of it. He also gave them some tips. But after almost two hours, the young ladies got nothing.

  They could only give up and keep the crystal for now. The challengers had finished battling with the members of the Factions that they challenged. Other than Klaus, five others were successful in their challenge.

  Of a total of over thirty people, only six managed to achieve their goal.

  The participants were all called into the platform once again, and to the surprise of everyone, none of the people who were successful in their challenge decided to leave. Their current goal was simple: get the first position.

  Alice and Reynolds had already taken first and second in the round for those in the Mid stages, if Grey and Klaus were to take this one as well, then it would be an embarrassment to the other geniuses.

  Those who were unsuccessful in their attempt all looked at each other in frustration. These people had already entered a Faction, yet, they didn't want to give up on the top ten spots.

  Since all two hundred participants were correct, everything went according to the original plan.

  They drew lots for the battles. There would be a total of hundred battles, and the top one hundred would be confirmed.

  When they drew lots, Grey's opponent was surprisingly one of the few people who had successfully gotten into a Faction. His opponent was a Dual Elementalist in the Ninth stage of the Overlord Plane. She had both the fire and the earth element.

  Klaus' opponent was also in the Ninth stage of the Overlord Plane. However, he wasn't part of those who challenged members of the Factions.

  Klaus didn't really know much about him, other than the fact that he was a Space Elementalist.

  'Luckily I've been fighting against Grey and Void for some time, although I've run away most of the time, this guy shouldn't be on the same level as they are.' Klaus accessed the situation in his head as he looked at his opponent.

  Just like the first time, Grey would be fighting before him once again.

  It was barely noon, so there was time to complete one hundred battles before the end of the day.

  Grey and Klaus would be having their battles today since they registered very early. The only reason Klaus' battle would take longer than Grey's was because of how the lots were drawn.

  The first sets of battles started and it took almost thirty minutes before the first set of battles finished.

  It was finally Grey's turn to step into the platform. Since he didn't fight while people were challenging members of Factions, he attracted a lot of attention.

  Most of the audience felt Grey would finally show his true strength against this young lady. She was not as weak as the young man he fought against the last time that was in the Ninth stage of the Overlord Plane.

  By the time Grey stepped on the platform, the young lady was already standing there.

  "You're one of the few people I look forward to fighting against." The young lady said when Grey stood before her.

  "Oh." Grey's reply was short. Although the young lady was strong, she wasn't the person Grey was waiting to fight against.

  She wasn't part of the trio he noticed during the brawl. He watched her battle and knew that she was below them.

  Grey's reply irritated the young lady since she expected he would say something else. Having 'oh' as a reply was annoying.

  "I'll make you regret looking down on me." The young lady said.

  "I didn't mean it like that." Grey was taken aback when he saw her angry expression and explained.

  "Begin!"

  The man in charge of the platform didn't even bother to ask if both participants were ready. He could already see that the young lady wanted to attack, and Grey had a cool and collected expression.
