Severin's name was associated not just with being the sixth core disciple—it was also synonymous with being an alchemical genius! The disciples in the area erupted in enthusiastic exclamations at Severin's feat."He made it! He cleared the fifth floor!""Severin has successfully advanced to the sixth floor!""None of us expected him to be the first to reach the sixth floor!""I shudder to think of the talent he possesses! How did he even complete the assessments so rapidly?"More and more disciples paid attention to the Alchemy Tower ever since Emery re-entered it. Most were aware of the ongoing competition between Emery and Severin within the Alchemy Tower. As the days began to pass, disciples gathered near the open area in eager anticipation of the outcome between two alchemical giants!Emery's admirers displayed high confidence in her abilities in the beginning, and the open area soon became a battleground where supporters of both sides did not give in to the other.While Eme
Emery could not bear to witness her concede her position, but her pride had taken a hit of vulnerability when she faced the undeniable reality. In the past, she had been hailed as the Sixth Mountain's prodigy. The gap between herself and Celeste would be minimal, if not entirely absent, if Celeste did not have the Forest Constitution. Being spoken in the same breath as Celeste had imparted Emery with not just confidence but a touch of arrogance too. It was intensified all the more by her countless admirers.Having struggled for three years without breaking through the fifth level, the news of Severin's achievement in just half a year hit Emery hard despite her laughing off previous comparisons between her and Severin. While she might lag in attainment talent compared to a core disciple like Severin, she deemed herself to possess a superior proficiency in alchemy.As she contemplated her chances of being the first to reach the sixth-grade alchemist and possibly even challenging Severi
Even if Severin were to fail the assessment, he was determined not to let go of an opportunity to gain valuable experience. Severin shook his head and gazed at the vast array of material before him. "Let me secure a breakthrough to sixth-grade alchemist before moving on from there."Severin opted once again to craft the Prima Spirit Pill and use it as the avenue to become a sixth-grade alchemist. He had limited experience with that pill, after all, and each failed attempt contributed to his understanding of crafting them.After formulating his game plan, he located the materials and meticulously followed the steps. For his first attempt, he tossed the materials into the cauldron one by one, but the cauldron roared and emitted a puff of black smoke—signs of another failure. Undaunted by the setback, he remained undeterred and felt a renewed determination that only grew with every failed attempt.The subsequent failures did not dampen his enthusiasm in the slightest, and Severin persi
Evening came, and Emery stood in silence by the entrance of the Alchemy Tower as she looked at the third-placed name on the ranking list—Severin Feuillet. She appeared exhausted, and even the luster of her eyes had dimmed slightly. Despite her continuous efforts during her third attempt, she managed to concoct only 998 pill recipes, falling short by the last two needed to complete the assessment. Mentally exhausted from all that exertion, she reluctantly left the place.That ordeal marked Emery's first encounter with defeat and frustration. He looked at Severin's name again and uttered with a bitter smile, "Just how talented are you!"She had strived for several years and failed the test thrice, yet Severin had passed it all in just over half a year. It was a huge blow to Emery's ego, especially since she had once asserted that her alchemical prowess could rival that of Celeste.Emery left the Alchemy Tower in despair, haunted by the thought of Severin wresting away her third place.
Zelia could only shake her head when she heard that. "I don't have an answer to that. Perhaps he is simply a receipt of divine favor."Celeste displayed a tinge of envy when she heard that. Despite her status as a core disciple with the coveted Forest Constitution that resonated with wood affinity. However, it was only an Element Constitution that paled in comparison to Severin's Divine Constitution.Some core disciples had no interest in securing any positions, but they would not pass up the opportunity to compete for a place in Midland's Grandiuno Sacred Land. That sacred land was rumored to have been an ancient and prosperous sect that held great allure. The founder of the Grandiuno Sect hailed from Midland, and the south was considered inferior in comparison. Supreme saints were regarded as ordinary in Midland where paragons were the requirement to enter. Even a royal paragon was not particularly prestigious there.Celeste's eyes revealed yearning and a sense of conflict as the
Not only did Severin have the Divine Constitution, but he was also well-gifted in the art of Alchemy similar to Emery. Raymond trusted and firmly believed one day Severin would make his name well known to every household in Southsky. At least, a powerful man who could become a great leader.There were six core disciples in the Grandiuno Sect. Other than Severin, the other five were very powerful too. Karl, the strongest of them was now a paragon. The second on the list was Spencer Yade. He possessed the True Dragon Constitution which belonged to the Element Constitution group. His body was as tough as the dragon. He had a fighting spirit as cruel as the dragon too.Next on the list was Riley Boyer with a Nine Yang Body Constitution. He could punch with the impact of the sun. Any attacks were pointless and useless to him.Even when Raymond was now a level nine supreme saint and not too far from advancing to the paragon, he had yet to learn who would be the last one standing between t
Knowing that it was about Severin, Oskar could not help but ask curiously, "Oh? What happened exactly?"As the top combatant of the Grandiuno Sect, he had been in seclusion during that period and did not know much about the affairs within the sect.Normally, all matters in the sect—be it large and small—were handled by the elders. It would be impossible for Oskar to care about every little detail, so naturally he did not know much about what Severin was doing in Alchemy Tower.Upon hearing that, several elders immediately recounted to him how Severin passed one level after another in the Alchemy Tower. After that, an elder sighed and said, "It seems Grandiuno Sect is going to have another genius!"After hearing the whole story, Oskar was so happy that he could not help but smile. The reason why Severin was recruited into the sect was because he had top-notch qualifications such as possessing Divine Constitution. He really did not expect that Severin not only had Divine Constitution
In the hall, Wuhlricht—who was sitting next to Severin—shook his head and said, "When we were at Skyblue Sect, everyone was a genius. Even if they were not geniuses, they still had alchemical pills to help them train."Wuhlricht paused, then spoke again, "But now in Southsky, in the Grandiuno Sect, there are countless people who are far more talented than me. If we don't train hard, when will we catch up with you?"The great elder not far away agreed with Wuhlricht. "Yes, Severin, do you think everyone is as talented as you?"After joining the Grandiuno Sect, they saw so many supreme saints and paragons that it fired up their inner fighting spirit. They did not want to be a drag on Severin. Especially since they were just elite disciples, and the only reason they could live in Pearl Light Isle was because they were Severin's relatives and friends.However, even with that kind of relationship, the monthly cultivation resources they would receive were standard for elite disciples.
