Upon hearing Emery's question, a disciple beside her nodded slowly and answered, "Yes. That's him!"

"He entered the Alchemy Tower six months ago, and he's been progressing rapidly after passing the first

floor's assessment," the disciple said with admiration.

Severin's ascent in the Alchemy Tower's rankings in the past six months, coupled with news of his victory over Shyam, led more and more disciples to become curious about Severin's accomplishments. In response, many more people had gathered near the Alchemy Tower, as they were eager to witness just

what kind of a person Severin was.

Emery's expression became stern as she absorbed all the information.

She about Severin from six months ago when he had been accepted as the sixth core disciple. She was envious of his sudden rise and was curious about his abilities because of the exception that Oskar, the sect leader, had made for him.

Despite being one of the Sixth Mountain's prodigious alchemists, Emery believed her skills rivaled that of Severin's. She considered herself only slightly less proficient than Celeste in alchemy, and she attributed Celeste's success to the Forest Constitution-a constitution that her family possessed. That constitution was an Element Constitution, and Emery viewed even Celeste's rise as merely a matter of luck.

As a fifth-grade high-rank alchemist, Emery stood on the brink of becoming a sixth-grade alchemist. Her attainment level matched that of elite disciples, and she possessed combat prowess comparable to a level six supreme saint. In her opinion, she stood a chance of challenging the sect's core disciples. After all, all the core disciples save Celeste lacked any alchemical skill. As the Sixth Mountain's prodigy, her talent enabled her to spend only three years to reach the tower's fifth floor.

Although impressed by Severin's speed, Emery did not feel discouraged by that. The difficulty of the fifth floor was such that even someone of her abilities was stuck for a long time. Even Celeste with the Forest Constitution needed several years to finally make progress. As she looked at Severin's name and the nine hundred recipes that he had created, a twinkle appeared in Emery's eyes as she realized that he was less than ten recipes away from reaching her level. She murmured, "Interesting! Who would've thought that our new core disciple has shown so much promise in alchemy."

While she had just fallen short of the thousand-mark in her attempt and only managed to create 935 pills, she remained confident that could reach the sixth floor with time.

Severin had shown tremendous speed in reaching the fifth floor and creating the recipes, but reaching the sixth floor was a different matter altogether. She did not seem all too concerned that Severin was catching up to her.

She turned back toward the Alchemy Tower and stated calmly, "His speed is commendable, but speed is

not the be-all and end-all for one to make a breakthrough to sixth-grade alchemist."

With a tenacious fighting spirit in her eyes, Emery's straightforward approach was clear - she just had to

keep her achievements within reach of the person who was about to catch up to her!
