Chapter 1913

Celeste had been standing in front of a quaint wooden house surrounded by vibrant flowers on top of the mountain peak. She had been discreetly observing Severin and was visibly astonished upon learning of his decisive victory over Shyam in the arena. Her crimson eyes betrayed a sense of shock.

Celeste knew Shyam as the talented elite disciple of the Fifth Mountain who boasted a perfect level five supreme saint attainment. Every elite disciple in the Grandiuno Sect was formidable in their own right, and Shyam-ranked tenth among the prodigies-could have held a prominent position in any one of Southsky's four major sects.

News of Severin's defeat left Celeste bewildered. She turned to Zelia and asked with a slight frown, "He had joined the sect a little under two months ago. How could he have defeated a level five supreme saint like Shyam that easily?"

Zelia explained, "You're probably not aware that this young man made a breakthrough to level four

supreme saint within two months. His combat ability is so astounding that he could defeat Shyam in just

three moves,"

Shyam might be strong, but Severin proved far superior. The swiftness in which Severin defeated Shyam was a testament to that.

Zelia's explanation piqued Celeste's interest. A smile crept across her face as she remarked, "My, this is fascinating! I expect that the rivalry among us core disciples will only intensify in the future."

Celeste, the sole woman among the six core disciples, excelled in matters related to alchemy. She had always remained indifferent to the politics within the group of core disciples, but Severin's sudden rise to fame had rekindled her curiosity.

Meanwhile, on a floating island near the Fourth Mountain, Raymond received prompt news of Severin's victory over Shyam after exiting seclusion. Needless to say, he was just as surprised as anyone. He held the position of fourth core disciple for several years already, and while he could easily overcome Shyam

by relying on his attainment, he could not do what Severin did and transcend beyond his level.

Raymond felt a buzzing sense after realizing that Severin had achieved such a formidable level within just two months of joining the sect. He mused, "I wonder where this extraordinarily powerful individual came

from."

Other well-informed elite disciples who were high on the sect's Prodigy Ranking shared Raymond's bewilderment upon receiving the news. They wondered how such a stark gap would come to exist between Severin's achievements and their own despite being equally on the same level. That Severin-a level four supreme saint-had defeated a level six supreme saint within two months of joining the sect

Severin's emphatic victory over Shyam caught the attention of several sect elders as well. Any dissatisfaction over Oskar's unprecedented decision to designate Severin as the sixth core disciple had been silenced for good. They gasped in awe and acknowledged the sect leader's astute judgment.

Severin had left the venue, and he reached the foot of the Sixth Mountain in blissful ignorance of the small stir that he had caused within the Grandiuno Sect. The mountain was enveloped in an energy-rich white fog, and the lush vegetation consisted of tall trees that towered high over the moss-covered tracks. There were even a few low-level spirit beasts around, and the overall atmosphere resembled paradise on earth. Severin flew up following the stone path until a tower finally came into sight.
