Chapter 398: We're Not Only Handsome, We're Strong Too!

In the tea shop.
Oliver and Blake wore puzzled expressions, not expecting what was currently happening.
They weren’t surprised by Klaus, in fact, just like Grey, they expected this. What truly surprised them was Grey who was absorbing the icy energy at a crazier speed than Klaus, and from his expression, they could tell he didn’t know how it was happening.
Well, either that, or he was pretending not to know how it was happening. But they felt it was the former since Grey wasn’t like Klaus who did things thoughtlessly.
“Teacher, should I step in now?” Blake asked.
“No, they should be fine. If Klaus were to be alone, then we’d have watched them rough him up a bit before helping him, but with that boy there, it’s impossible for them to be killed. At most, they’ll beat them up a bit, and we’ll step in,” Oliver shrugged before focusing on his tea once again.
When Grey came here, he had tried sensing Grey’s cultivation stage, and the result stumped him. He couldn’t!
Grey was only an Origin Plane Elementalists the last time he saw him, and he was in the Fifth stage at that time, it had been only around four to five months, and he couldn’t help but wonder how much this prodigy had grown.
From Grey’s facial expression, he didn’t sense any sign of fear, this meant that he was confident in his ability to escape even when surrounded by this many people.
‘He’s going to be more fearsome than his Teacher. I wonder where Chris is, it’s been almost a year now, and he still hasn’t returned,’ He thought to himself.
At the town’s square.
Grey still had an incredulous look, with his mouth still twitching occasionally. Klaus on the other hand was excited, he even swaggered away from the group of people, walking towards Grey.
After getting to where Grey was standing, he threw his right hand across his shoulder, while looking at the townspeople smugly.
What was more surprising was that the essence in the stone was almost used up, over half of it had been absorbed within the short span of a few minutes.
“I know this is the first time you people are seeing two handsome guys like us together, but you don’t need to stare so much. Don’t worry, if you people want, we can stand here a few more minutes so that you can ingrain our images in your heads.” Klaus said before tilting his head to a forty-five-degree angle, “And ladies, you can fantasize about us all day, don’t worry, we don’t mind.”
“Unfortunately, as much as it hurts me to say this, we can never be together. It’s not you people, it’s us, we’re just too good-looking for this town.”
“I can make a statue of us in the town’s square so you people can forever remember us, and tell your kids about us so they can fantasize about us as well. But be warned, men are not allowed to fantasize about us, we only agree with women.”
Smack!
“What bullshit are you spouting? Get away from me, you’re only saying this much so you can rob them of their ice energy,” Grey smacked Klaus across the back of his head.
What surprised Grey more was the fact that Klaus was actually using him to siphon more ice energy. Since more was coming towards him, Klaus would be able to absorb more if he stayed close to him.
Even after not seeing him for so long, he was still as shameless as ever!
“Come on buddy, you know I need this, I’m very close to the Eighth stage,” Klaus whispered to him.
“I’m not even trying to absorb it, it’s coming on its own,” Grey said while shaking his head.
“But…”
Grey and Klaus started conversing in front of over fifty angry people, it was almost like these people weren’t there in the first place.
“What are you people staring at?! Kill them now!” The old man was the first to regain himself and yell.
When people encounter strange things, they tend to get confused by the situation. For example, with the threat of death, Grey and Klaus were supposed to be flustered, and panicky, yet, not only were they not flustered, they were casually talking while still absorbing the town’s treasure. It was like they didn’t feel any sense of threat at all.
Boom!
The old man was the first to attack, sending multiple ice shards towards Grey and Klaus.
Klaus was still greedily stealing the ice energy that was coming towards Grey while also speaking with Grey.
Grey easily set up an earth wall that blocked the ice shards.
“You see, we’re not only handsome, we’re strong too!” Klaus yelled from behind Grey.
Grey’s eyes twitched twice, he also forgot how crazy Klaus was. There were times when he would want to strangle him, but then he would recall that he was his friend.
‘I still wonder how he has been able to survive till now?’ He thought to himself.
Swoosh! Boom!
More attacks came in their direction, but none was able to pass through Grey’s defense.
The old man at the Peak of the Origin Plane couldn’t help but take a step back, he never thought these young men would be this strong.
“Attack!” He ordered.
No matter how powerful they were, as long as they only defended, then they would definitely lose in due time.
Grey didn’t want to waste his energy in using another element, while Klaus didn’t want to waste his energy in attacking. He focused on absorbing the ice energy, while also occasionally cursing at the group who were attacking them.
The townspeople naturally started to get infuriated. Klaus was just too annoying.
“Even if the other one escapes, the one with the loud mouth must stay here!” The young man who caught Klaus yelled angrily.
“Shut up you ugly moron, you don’t have the right to speak when it involves handsome people,” Klaus snickered.
Grey almost facepalmed, while Blake and Delia shook their heads with a pitiful expression.
