Chapter 1848

It was the first time that Severin encountered such an arrangement whereby the organizers gave away

two places after recognizing that it would be difficult for them to win against him. After all, there were

fifteen spots available in the tournament, and they were hoping he would not throw his hat into the ring. after two gratuitous spots.

Severin reflected on the proposal before saying with a grin, "Two places aren't enough."

He was not alone in feeling that way. Wuhlricht, Felipe, and his wives were all eagerly awaiting to secure a breakthrough at the sacred lake. They were not about to accept a measly two places just because it was given to them as a concession.

Severin's rebuff of their offer elicited a stark change of expression in Kiyu, Rourie, and the rest of the

Chorteaus.

"It would be wise to accept it," Rourie suggested with a wry smile. "I heard that the Gahrrs and Lischalts have already recalled their disciples from the Deifirm Sect and Purevoid Sect for this tournament."

One of the elders said, "Thorold Gahrr, who is from the Deifirm Sect, is rumored to have been born with

the Thunderbolt Constitution. His thunderous ability reaches a near-ideal level of perfection, and his combat strength can rival that of a level one supreme saint even though he is just a level nine royal saint!" Godfrey, the ninth elder, supplemented additional information on the Lischalts. "Jangar Lischalt, who is a member of the Purevoid Sect, is much stronger. He has attuned himself to the swordwill since a young age and was immediately accepted as one of their inner disciples.

Rourie then added, "I heard that both Thorold and Jangar are now elite disciples, and they intend to bring some of their family members into the sect. The upcoming edition of the tournament will almost certainly provide some intense competition."

Severin listened to their narratives and took note of the intensified competition caused by the return of these sect elites. The two prodigies were hoping to do a clean sweep of the tournament!

Not one to back down from a potential challenge, Severin rejected Kiyu's offer flatly. "No, thank you, Mister Mayor, sir. I appreciate you passing the message to me personally, but as I've said earlier, two places are simply not enough for us. Let the true results be determined on the tournament stagell Severin was not about to give in to their offer and settle for just two places.

The next tournament was slated to occur twenty years from then. Waiting two decades was not an option for his group, as they were all gunning to make a breakthrough to supreme saint.

Severin's stern refusal prompted Kiyu to shake his head. Kiyu warned, "Don't say I didn't warn you. Those

+15 BONUS

When Kiyu left, Rourie expressed his disapproval of Severin. "Your decision was made in haste," he said,

implying that Severin should have just taken what had been offered to him.

In Rourie's perspective, securing the spots from Thorold and Jangar in the tournament would prove challenging even though Severin was very strong. Refusing the offer simply because he wanted to gain more than two places might just prove to be biting off more than he could chew, especially in the face of such strong opponents. By contrast, Rounie's main goal was simply to secure that one single place for the

Chorteays.

Alas, Rourie was only a level six royal saint, and thus unable to dictate Severin's choices.

Severin kept quiet and shook his head with a smile after hearing Rourie's lament. Once he finished his

tea, he said to Rourie, "I'll take my leave now if there's nothing else." He then exited the hall without even waiting for Rourie's reply.
