Life After Prison Chapter 1817
Meanwhile, in another part of the estate, Severin was sitting alongside Wuhlricht and the former Skyblue Sect elders. After arriving at the higher realm, their chance encounter with the Chorteau siblings and subsequent decision to save them led to Severin being invited to become their honorary elder. Bit by bit, they were beginning to develop a preliminary understanding of Nontwo City.Wuhlricht was the first to address the group. "Based on my conversations with the Chorteaus' other elders today, we are in Southsky, where Nontwo City is located. The most influential figure in the city is the mayor. Though he is only a level nine royal saint, he is rumored to be a disciple of the Grandiuno Sect. The remaining powerful families include the Lischalts in the south, the Gahrrs in the north, and the Walpens in the east. Each of them has more than two level nine royal saints, and that qualified them as first-tier families in Nontwo City. Other families like the Chorteaus have, at most, level

The next morning, Rainier and Frostia came to Severin's room after breakfast. The siblings politely extended an invitation to Severin and his companions, inviting them to the main hall for a conversation. Severin suspected that Rourie was about to announce his status as an honorary elder.When they arrived at the hall, Rourie sipped his cup of hot tea and said to Severin in a solemn tone, "Good morning. I believe Rainier has already explained to you the benefits of being a Chorteau elder, so let me start by once again expressing my sincerest apologies for Endric's inappropriate behavior yesterday. I would like to offer you an additional two fifth-grade pills a month, and one Sun-grade low-rank combat technique."The Chorteaus elders looked at Severin with envy."Aren't these terms exceptionally generous?""If I recall correctly, even the mayor was only given three fifth-grade pills."The Chorteau's honorary elders received decent benefits, including a consistent supply of spiritua
Life After Prison Chapter 1819
The middle-aged man caught Rourie's hint and came to realize that Severin was a level nine royal saint instead of just an ordinary practitioner! Such a powerful figure would be treated with the utmost respect by any of Nontwo City's families.Everyone was startled that Rourie would so generously double the number of pills given to Severin and even offer a Sun-grade combat technique. However, the techniques were useless without a person to learn them, and having a level nine royal saint in the Chorteaus' ranks would elevate the family's standing dramatically in Nontwo City. They could soon compete with first-tier families and share a substantial portion of incoming profits.Moreover, Southsky's state's sacred lake would be opened to the public the following month. Such an occasion occurred only once every 20 years and would soon become the center of intense competition for all the families in Nontwo City.Upon considering all those factors, the man apologize, "I apologize for my comm

Severin's curiosity was piqued after hearing Rourie's statement. He responded slowly, "As many of us know, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Please do share with us the details."Rourie proceeded to explain, "To be honest with you, Elder Severin, our family isn't considered among the stronger ones in Nontwo City. We are not very confident of vying for a place at the sacred lake."He paused for a moment before continuing with a sigh, "The lake is open only once every twenty years. Those who wish to participate will need to pay the Grandiuno Sect a hundred thousand spiritual stones. Unfortunately, there's no guarantee that we will be able to secure a place simply by making that payment. We would still need to compete with other contenders from other families."Severin deduced that the Chorteaus might want him to join the tournament. At the same time, he could not help but wonder why the Chorteaus were not that confident despite their strength. "You're strong, and you should be ab

Rourie led the way to the Chorteaus' library with a smile on his face. He explained, "This is our Chorteaus' library. The Sun-grade combat techniques are on the fifth floor. I'll get it for you right away."Severin nodded as he observed the collection of books within the library. Having come to an agreement with Rourie at the main hall, the latter eagerly brought Severin over to fulfill the promise. He was also rather intrigued to know what sort of techniques were present in the Bleurealm. Surprisingly, even a small family whose strongest member was a level five royal saint had a Sun-grade combat technique in their collection. By contrast, even the Skyblue Sect only had Sky-grade techniques.Rourie could tell that Severin was curious about many things. He smiled and said, "The combat technique was acquired through chance by one of our ancestors. Due to its complexity, only a few of our clan members have managed to master it. If this combat technique can be offered in exchange for a p

Rourie felt the need to offer Severin a word of caution. "Elder Severin, while combat techniques are valuable, they are ultimately external tools. It's essential not to become overly fixated on them. The True-Sun Fist is easy to learn but challenging to master. Achieving the power to move mountains and rival a dragon will require more than a night's work. The tournament is drawing near as well."Only a few elders have mastered the True-Sun Fist to the most basic level. It was a formidable challenge that led many within the Chorteaus to abandon their pursuit of mastering it. It was also the reason why Rourie would freely allow Severin to learn it.However, Severin was unable to hear Rourie because he was too deep in comprehending the technique. His robust mental power allowed him to digest the intricacies of this combat technique swiftly. Rourie was still busy giving advice when Severin abruptly thrust his fist into the air.A rush of air burst forth, creating a hissing sound as it p
Life After Prison Chapter 1823
After recovering from the shock, Rourie immediately heaped praise on Severin. "Your talent is truly exceptional. Few in our family have mastered the True-Sun Fist. The fact that you succeeded on your first try speaks volumes to your ability as a level nine royal saint."In response to Rourie's praise, Severin merely shook his head slightly. "You give me far more credit than I deserve. It was merely a stroke of luck. I shall be returning to my room now if that is all."Severin wanted to return to his room and make the most out of the enlightenment he had just experienced. He wanted to acquaint himself with the newly acquired technique. Though he had grasped the essence of the True-Sun Fist and executed it successfully, there remained some distance between understanding the basics and mastering it. He felt an unrelenting drive as if this combat technique could be further unlocked to manifest its full potential. Perhaps he could truly transform his fist into a sun, and the power he poss
Life After Prison Chapter 1824
If the other elders were to discover that, they would likely become envious and take it up with Rourie. However, Severin knew that the increased privileges extended to him were mainly due to how quickly he comprehended the True-Sun Fist. Rourie had a newfound admiration and respect for him because of that.After handing the plaques to Severin, Rourie smiled and said, "I'll let you rest then."When Rourie left, Severin redirected his attention to the plaques and began channeling his spiritual energy into them. His mental power swiftly uncovered the contents of the jade slip.All of them were Sun-grade high-rank techniques, with names such as Sevenslash, Bluerex Point, and Darkshroud Chill.Severin was in awe of them. The Skyblue Sect had never possessed such techniques. It reinforced his understanding that strength was the be-all and end-all.He was reminded of his arrival at the Chorteaus' residence the previous day. As a result of concealing his true attainment, Endric looked dow
