Chapter 862 Spreading Across The Continent

Chapter 862 Spreading Across The Continent
Aurora Continent.
It has been over six months since the Pyrmond Faction and the Syphilis Faction competed for the secret realm.
Grey's name had started to spread across the Region as one of the new geniuses who sprang out from the Pyrmond Faction. He was regarded as undefeatable under the Sage Plane. According to what was said, it was said that he could even fight against a newly ascended Sage Plane Elementalist and come out on top.
People felt like the Pyrmond Faction was just saying this for the fame, however, it was confirmed by one of the members of the Syphilis Faction who participated in the competition, it was none other than the genius, Lydia.
She told them of his battle with her, but she didn't forget to add the fact that he crippled himself as well in the end just to ensure he was victorious.
The members of the Pyrmond Faction came out to rebuke the story, saying it was false and that Grey was perfectly fine. To prove that she was right, Lydia challenged Grey to a battle. Grey was seemingly nowhere to be seen, she used this as proof to others that Grey was crippled and that the Pyrmond Faction was only using his name to try to lure in more geniuses to their Faction.
The story lasted for some time before it started to die down, after all, Grey was nowhere to be seen, and the members of the Pyrmond Faction weren't even doing anything to show that he was still fine since they couldn't bring him out.
More geniuses rose over time, and Grey's name soon started to fade off. Only in the Pyrmond Faction was his name still very much heard. The reason for this was that they all witnessed him show his strength during the day of the celebratory ceremony.
The Dawson Family.
Conor was staring at a particular figure with all his focus.
'Strange, why is there some sort of resemblance?' He couldn't help but wonder.
The man he was looking at was a figure respected by not just everyone from the Dawson Family, but the entire Western Continent, Lucas Dawson. He was the genius who rose to fame twenty-odd years ago. He went to the peak of the world in the fastest time ever recorded, in less than thirty years, he went from a normal human to a powerhouse even the strongest Faction in the Aurora Continent as a whole wouldn't want to mess with.
This man was currently sitting leisurely, eating fruits with a beautiful lady beside him.
Conor was staring at this figure for a single reason, there was a youth he encountered not too long ago that has some sort of resemblance to this man. The only difference was that this youth was a little more handsome and younger than this man. They both had the same sparkling eyes. The youth in question was Grey.
In fact, looking at both figures, Lucas and the lady beside him, he could actually find some resemblance between them and Grey. He couldn't help but have a wild thought.
'Impossible! They would've brought him to the Family if he was their kid.' He dismissed the thought quickly.
No one would want their child to suffer alone. Not just that, but from what he knew, Grey's background was very mysterious. He appeared from nowhere and quickly rose to fame.
After coming to know Grey, he recalled on one of his travels when he went to the Northern Continent and heard of a genius named Grey who was dominating all the Regions' geniuses rankings while in the Origin Plane.
Connecting the dots, he guessed it was most likely this Grey as well.
Grey's name also spread to other Regions close to the Region the Pyrmond Faction was located.
In the Faction his friends joined, they all heard of his tales. They couldn't help but smile at the news. They all knew Grey would become very famous in a short time, and in less than a year he was already well known as a genius that would go on to become a monstrous powerhouse.
They didn't believe the news of him crippling himself since they all knew Grey would never do something like that. Doing anything that would harm himself was the last thing Grey would do, so they knew it was only a plot by others who didn't like him.
Kyle also heard of Grey's news from his Family and couldn't help but shake his head. He had always believed that as long as Grey was around, he would most definitely make a name for himself. However, he didn't think that Grey would join the Pyrmond Faction which was on the decline. Most people felt the Pyrmond Faction drop from the top Factions in a short time.
Two more months went by in a flash and the stories of Grey started to die down. Many people thought he was nothing more than a fallen genius, while others felt pity for him.
While all this was happening, Grey was still inside the secret realm, training seriously.
In the secret realm.
Grey's figure could be seen sitting beside a lake. He was eating fruits leisurely. Void was sitting beside him, unbothered by anything.
They were enjoying their time when Grey felt something vibrate in his storage ring. He brought out the communication device and realized it was a distress signal from Keith.
'What could be going on.' He thought.
After checking for his location, he turned to look at Void.
"Keith's in trouble, let's go check it out."
He stepped on the rock beside him and it lit up. Over the past months he had been here, he had created multiple teleportation arrays across this realm. He couldn't say he had traveled the entire place, but he was almost certain that no one aside from those from the Lutra race knew this place as much as he did.
Their figures vanished soon after.
In another location.
In a city.
Keith was currently trapped in an encirclement, over ten people from the Lutra race surrounded him with malicious intentions.
'Damn it! I shouldn't have come here.' He complained internally.
'I hope Grey comes soon.'
All he could do was pray for Grey's quick arrival.
