Heidi smiled bitterly and whispered to Sofia, "He's from an upper-class first-tier sect known as the Highworld Sect. It's worth noting that they've been making so much progress that they're fast about to

overtake the Horizon Sect."

She paused briefly before continuing. "That Terry guy emerged as a prodigy in the Highworld Sect within the past two years. He was able to reach such a high level of attainment even though he is only twenty- one this year. His arrogance stems from that. Of course, many others in their sect have much higher attainment, but all of them aren't here. After all, there's no point for them to be here since they won't be

able to enter the sect either."

"seel It's impressive that he could achieve that level of attainment. He should be proud of that," Sofia gasped. "Making a breakthrough to royal saint is child's play with his talent. Heck, he probably wouldn't need long to reach the level seven or level eight royal saint!"

Heidi nodded and added, "He has excellent combat skills to boot too. I heard he once made light work of

level one royal saint, so you can imagine how insanely strong he is."

At that moment, a female disciple beside Heidi said, "But your combat ability is outstanding too, and you're one of the prodigies within our sect. Do you think you can defeat him?"

Heidi pondered over that question for a moment and eventually shook her head. "I'm pretty confident in my abilities, and I think can probably hold my own against a level one royal saint in a fight. However, defeating an opponent of that level is a whole different ball game. The gap between a level nine saint and a level one royal saint is substantial even though it might seem small. Going over and beyond one's strength to defeat a level one royal saint is very difficult. I might be able to take on weaker level two royal saints if I was a level one royal saint, but it's near-impossible for a level nine saint to defeat a level one royal saint."

"If you're no match for him, then I don't think anyone else here can hold out against him either," the female disciple commented. She then turned to another one of her sect's prodigies and asked, "What about you, Kara? Would you have a chance of winning against Terry?"

Kara thought for a moment and eventually shook her head. "Not unless Heidi and I team up, and even then, there's only a very slim chance of securing victory. We wouldn't stand a chance against him at all if we went in solo."

Sheila remarked, "Now I understand where his arrogance comes from."

Kara wryly smiled and cautioned the group, "It's not just him we need to be careful of. The same applies

to any of the Highworld Sect's members. The Horizon Sect could still be considered allies, but the

thankfully, we haven't been in any direct conflict with them during our previous treasure hunts.

Severin smiled and asked, "In other words, we don't need to hold back if we encounter anyone from the Highworld Sect, right?"

His directness and somewhat unconventional thought process had left Kara speechless.

"Of course," Kara said with a wry smile, "but it would be wise to exercise caution if you encounter high-level prodigies such as Terry. I've never witnessed your combat abilities before, but I'd still advise you to steer clear of conflicts."

Severin nodded silently. He was well aware that these talented disciples admired him for his alchemical talents and the benefits those pills had provided, but his strength as a level nine saint was not entirely acknowledged by the elite disciples despite his status as an elder. Though he had displayed a remarkable talent for alchemy, those elite disciples respected him for only one reason-his pills. Many believed that his current level of attainment was a result of the pills he had at his disposal, and that his attainment would likely not have soared to such heights had he not been an alchemist.
