Chapter 700: Dancing Fools (1/2)

Gravis looked at the man. ”You seem unconvinced,” he commented.

The guy harrumphed again. ”No, I believe our teacher,” he said, ”but I just can't believe that you have thrown away your future in order to make money now.”

The other nine kept themselves out of this, though they were on the burly man's side.

”Elaborate,” Gravis said.

”You know exactly what I mean,” the man said with a sneer. ”To make money, you decided to artificially learn the Law of the Dead World. There is no other way. After all, no Early Minor Circulation Immortal can possibly comprehend such a powerful Law.”

Not everyone knew that there were Immortals out there that understood the Law of the Dead World.

”What makes you so sure?” Gravis asked.

”Stop these meaningless questions,” the guy said. ”You're only here to make our weapons, not to defend your fragile ego.”

Gravis' brows furrowed, and he looked at the teacher.

The teacher only kept himself out with a smile.

”Am I allowed to activate my Will-Aura?” Gravis asked the teacher evenly.

”Go ahead. As long as you don't kill or cripple someone, everything goes,” the teacher said.

Gravis looked back at the burly man.

Yet, the burly man only laughed a bit. ”Seems like your attempt of showing off your power backfired,” he said. ”You expected that our teacher would say that fighting is forbidden, right? Sadly for you, we are not conflict-averse.”

His laughter continued. ”On top of that, you decided to threaten me with your Will-Aura? Me? The one with the most powerful Battle-Strength out of everyone present?” he said, but when he saw his teacher's frown, he corrected himself. ”Except our teacher, of course.”

”I know five level three Laws, rookie,” the burly man said. ”If you want to have a go, simply say so. I'll gladly accompany you. Otherwise, hurry up and make our weapons.”

Suddenly, Gravis relaxed as he looked to the side.

The burly man saw this as a sign of weakness and spat to the side. ”Knew it,” he said.

”It has been a while,” Gravis said.

”You're still talking?” the burly man said.

Gravis looked back at the burly man. ”I have been in a natural world for the past 2,000 years,” Gravis said. ”This world was full of beasts, and nearly no beasts acted like this. I have completely forgotten that this was a common mindset amongst human Cultivators.”

”What?” the burly man said with a sneer. ”You're not only someone that threw their future away, but also a grandpa? Who the fuck takes 2,000 years to become an Immortal? Even the slowest among us only took 800 years. 2,000 years,” he said as he laughed loudly. ”Man, two entire fucking thousand years.”

Gravis looked at the burly man, but his face didn't show any ill will.

He only looked at the person with pity.

This was someone that had been blinded by their own accomplishments so much that the thought of someone more superior than them on their level didn't exist. One had to remember that a middle world could only count as a puddle. In comparison, a higher world would be a lake, and the highest world would be an unimaginably vast ocean.

This person had been the most powerful person in his tiny puddle and jumped into the ocean, thinking that he's also the most powerful there.

When he had initially heard the man's words, Gravis felt a bit annoyed, but the more that man spoke, the more Gravis' annoyance vanished. The reason for that was Gravis' dwindling respect for the man.

When a stranger insulted someone, it was annoying. Someone might even become a bit angry.

When a friend insulted someone, it was hurtful.

Yet, when a kid insulted someone, it was meaningless.

The kid didn't know anything about the world, and the kid's mind had not been fully developed yet. They were talking about things they had no idea about. One couldn't fault such a kid for coming to these conclusions. After all, they were simply kids.

This was how Gravis viewed this person.

This person had no idea what he was doing.

Gravis sighed as he lamented about the stupid person. Initially, he had planned to teach him a lesson, to show him that there were people far more powerful than him out there.

Yet, Gravis decided against that.
