Severin looked at the bewildered Rourie and smiled. "I apologize for misleading you. We had our reasons for hiding out attainment, and I could assure you that we did not hide our attainment on purpose."

During the past month, Rourie and his family had nothing but praise for Severin and his companions. They

gave Severins group treatment that far exceeded that of ordinary honorary elders. When Rourie finally came back to his senses, he took a deep breath and waved his hand. "I was caught off guard by what happened. I didn't expect all of you to be level nine royal saints

With eleven esteemed level nine royal saints on their side, the Chorteaus were bound to secure at least a few places in the tournament regardless of whether or not they performed well. Rourie brimmed with excitement and hurriedly headed to the mayor's side to put their names in.

Kiyu was left speechless when he learned that the Chorteaus had submitted eleven participants. He warned Rourie solemnly. "Are you not aware that anyone participating in the tournament must at least have reached level eight royal saint? Do not make a mockery of this!

"I can assure you that they have reached the necessary attainment level!" Rourie assured Kiyu as soon as

he saw the mayor's anger.

The genuineness in Rourie's response eventually elicited a nod from Kiyu. He was nevertheless surprised by the sudden development and said, 'When did the Chorteaus amass such formidable strength?' Kiyu might not comprehend the reasons behind their sudden rise, but he nevertheless handed elevent entry tokens to Rourie. He then sent someone to relay the news to the other families in the nearby waiting

area.

Thorold was leaning on his chair and resting his eyes when he was told of the news. He opened his eyes and narrowed them as he gazed toward the Chorteaus. His jet-black pupils seemed to be glowing with a near- tangible murderous aura. The fact that the Chorteaus had fielded 11 participants made him snort. No wonder Severin rejected the offer, It's because he has a formidable team with him! Still, having more people doesn't necessarily guarantee that they'll secure a place in the sacred lake!"

Meanwhile, standing near the Chorteaus was a black-robed young man who exuded an unassuming and scholarly air. His handsome mien was complete with pinkish lips and pearly-white teeth. In his hands was a book that he seemned to be very much engrossed in.

Someone then arrived to relay information about the Chorteaus' participants. The person also made special mention of Severin's particularly Impressive record. The young man then turned to the Chorleaus

and sneered.

After closing his book, Jangar raised his head and glanced at the Chorteaus. His eyes were fixed on

think there'd be so many hidden talents in this small city. I assumed this tournament was just a competition between Thorold and myself. It is no small surprise that a dark horse has entered the fray."

Having heard about Thorold's invitation to Severin and the subsequent revelation that the Chorteaus fielded eleven participants, Jangar's anticipation for the upcoming event grew even more. Shortly afterward, more people gathered as many of the city's major families arrived. Kiyu, the mayor. gave a nod to a gray-haired Grandiuno Sect elder, who flew up into the air. "I hereby announce that the tournament has officially begun!"

As the elder articulated the rules of the tournament, the bell-like sound echoed throughout Nontwo City. Seconds later, a colossal arena descended from the sky.

The arena formed by the powers of the Grandiuno Sect elders bore a shield that protected the outside surroundings from the powerful competitors' aura within. It ensured that participants could unleash their full potential without being constrained by external factors.

Severin glanced at the gray-haired old man when the arena materialized, surmising that the elder was at least a supreme saint! When the arena appeared, Severin sensed the formidable natural power emanating from the man's body. The elder's aura was so terrifying that an opponent might feel as if they were up against the whole world!

'Let's get this tournament done and over with as quickly as possible. We must gain access to the sacred

and make a swift breakthrough to supreme saint!" Severin thought to himself.
