Severin, for example, arrived at Bleurealm's Nontwo City as a fifth-grade high-rank alchemist. Eventually, he discovered a sixth-grade alchemy recipe. Despite wasting so much of time and materials in his numerous failed attempts, he was still unable to make any progress.

A breakthrough for an alchemist was no easy feat, and was vastly different from the stages within a level for attainment, for an abundance of materials were needed for practice. It was only when Severin ascended the Alchemy Tower that he broke free of that predicament and reached the sixth level, for the simulation that tested his abilities to refine pills had allowed him to accumulate experience with sixth-

grade pills. That was why he was able to successfully became a sixth-grade alchemist.

Severin's reassurance seemed to have an effect as the worries on everyone's faces began to dissipate. However, Felipe remained firm in his opinion that Severin should have refrained from accepting the challenge and ought to have maintained a low profile instead. "You must not be careless, Severin he cautioned. "There is still half a year before the sect's internal tournament, and this tournament is the key to securing a specific trip to a secret place. Standing out at this point in time might attract the attention of the five core disciples, and this could do you more harm than good!"

Felipe maintaining emphasized caution against the core disciples, whose abilities and talents they had no

knowledge of other than the rumors saying that they were all powerhouses. Supreme saints were

everywhere in the Bleurealm, and royal saints were regarded as only slightly better than a dog. As a former elder of the Skyblue Sect, Felipe was well aware of the politics within the sect's internal affairs, hence his decision to advocate for caution upon their arrival at the Grandiuno Sect.

Severin shrugged helplessly and said, "I'm afraid I've already captured their attention when I joined the Grandiuno Sect and became the sixth core disciple. Besides, if I win, I'll obtain the sixth-grade high-rank pill recipe and two Pristine Spirit Pills. If I lose, then it'll be a tie at most. Either way, I won't get the short

end of the stick!"

Furthermore, there was one other reason that Severin did not mention to them-even if Emery were to defeat him and aim for his position as a core disciple, there would be a very high chance that Oskar would not give his assent. An outstandingly-talented sixth-grade alchemist with the Chaos Constitution

was much stronger than Emery.

Felipe refrained from making any further objections and accepted Severin's arguments when he saw the latter's confidence. He smiled sheepishly and sald, "Perhaps I'm getting less brave as I get older." Wuhlricht could only smile wryly at Felipe's remark. "We're not on Skyblue Sect territory, after all. All my ambitions have been put in the back drawer after more than half a year since we arrived."

Wuhlricht did not make that remark just to support Felipe. He genuinely felt that way after encountering individuals stronger than themselves at the Grandiuno Sect. His perspective had since shifted toward

that of calm and caution.

Severin understood where they were coming from. One could liken the Skyblue Sect to a small puddle and the Grandiuno Sect to a vast ocean-not even a fish could survive in a small puddle, much less apex. predators like sharks. Were Severin's talent mediocre, he might have heeded Wuhlricht and Felipe's advice to lay low and tread carefully. However, his talent was anything but mediocre.

The path of practitioners defied nature. There was always competition-be it with people, the laws of heaven, or other mortal things. Those who were afraid of putting in the effort to win against the

competition should give up on their dreams of ascending to higher realms.
