Chapter 184: Better Movement (1/2)
Why was Gravis still in the Middle-Continent even though he could only advance his cultivation properly in the Core-Continent? That was because he still had some business to finish here. He already had plans to finish that business before, but with him being even closer to lightning, that need increased even more. He needed to repay those who helped him and take revenge on those who did something he didn't like.
In total, he had four things to do, but that wouldn't take long. He just had to visit some guilds and do some stuff. With his increase in realm, his body had gotten slightly stronger, and his element much stronger.
The conversion between Energy and an element wasn't without some loss in Energy. If someone wanted to release an elemental attack with a specific amount of power, they would need to waste double the amount of Energy. Since Gravis didn't have Energy in his dantian anymore, that wastage completely vanished.
On top of that, his control over his lightning got pushed to unprecedented heights, making his Lightning Movement even more powerful. ”I wonder…” muttered Gravis. ”Isn't Lightning Movement a little too primitive for my control?”
Gravis tested a little more with his lightning and noticed that it wasn't an issue to increase the coverage of his Lightning Movement. Initially, his Lightning Movement only covered about two meters around him but got increased several times. It worked by the force that appeared when the lightning hit something and therefore straightened. Yet, weren't there also different forces?
BANG BANG BANG BANG!
Gravis made a swath of lightning leave from his behind, shooting into the ground behind him. The release of Energy shot his body forward faster than the usual Lightning Movement, but it also cost a lot of Energy. On top of that, Gravis also noticed that the lightning was not only pushing him forwards but also pulling him backwards a little, for some reason. Those two forces clashed, but he was still moving forward, in the end.
”Hm, it's better, but it takes too much Energy. There should be a better way,” Gravis muttered in thought. Then, Gravis shot his lightning to the front, trying to pull himself forward.
”Wha-”
Gravis toppled over and fell to the floor, rolling for tens of meters. Luckily, his body was too powerful to be injured by a mere fall. Gravis sat up when he stopped and spat out some dirt in his mouth. ”The fuck was that?” he said as he looked at his robe.
For some reason, the golden lining in his clothes suddenly got pulled to his lightning. He had never noticed this before since his lightning wasn't as controlled before, and it was also his first time spreading his lightning over such a vast area.
”Pure gold shouldn't be magnetic!” Gravis shouted. He ripped one piece of clothing off and destroyed it. He looked inside and saw some black stuff. ”These cheapskates didn't even use pure gold!” he said involuntarily.
The Heaven Sect was brimming with gold, yet behind the gold of their robes was iron. ”Like, if you complain so much about your Heaven Sect being full of gold, you could at least use it!” Gravis grumbled.
Suddenly, Gravis remembered something. ”Oh, right! I'm not part of the Heaven Sect anymore.”
With that said, his golden robes vanished and got replaced by a black T-Shirt and black cloth pants. Luckily, he always carried spare clothing with him, which became even easier with his new Spirit Space. The Spirit Space also made it easier to change clothes.
Gravis stood up and stretched. ”Man, I missed this shirt,” he said. The robes of the Heaven Sect were a little restrictive since they were, well, robes. As Gravis changed his outfit, he also felt more freedom. It felt like he was back in the time when he had just arrived in this lower world. ”Man, it's been a while since I wore those. This also shouldn't disrupt my Lightning Movement anymore… wait!”
Gravis got an idea. He quickly took out his saber and looked at it. ”Is this magnetic?” he asked as he used some lightning a distance away to see what would happen.
