Chapter 2161

Three tolls of a bell resounded throughout the Grandiuno Sect in the early morning hours, marking the day of the tournament.

On Pearl Light Isle, Diane and the girls were helping Severin dress up. With their attire fully on, Severin smiled at them.

“Time to go. The tournament will start soon, and it’s about time we head to the arena.”

Severin exited the room and traveled across the air in a streak of light. Similar scenes appeared across the Grandiuno Sect, as the sky filled with a profusion of rainbow streaks that numbered upward of several hundred thousand.

It did not take long for Severin to lead his wives to the sect arena, which was situated between the Sixth Mountain and the Seventh Mountain. Tens of thousands of spectators filled the arena, and Severin’s arrival stirred an immediate sensation among the crowd.

“Look! Elder Severin is here!”

“How is he that young? I heard that he just made a breakthrough to royal paragon!”

“His talent is nothing short of extraordinary! No one can secure breakthroughs from supreme saint to paragon in just a year!”

“Hehe, I wonder if he’ll be able to secure first place in the tournament?”

“He stands a good chance, in my opinion. I can’t think of anyone aside from him who stands a legitimate chance of securing first place.”

Severin approached the arena calmly and ignored the hubbub.

Many elders were already waiting on the high platform above the arena.

“Come and have a seat, Severin!” Myles offered.

“Thank you, Peak Master Myles.” Severin accepted the invitation and led his wives over before taking a seat next to Myles.

Severin glanced at the spirited participants across the crowd and remarked to Myles, “Everyone is raring for the tournament.”

“But of course,” Myles replied.

“This importance of this tournament isn’t limited to the battles for the core disciples. Even elite disciples vie for a spot in the rankings because of the rewards that the sect would confer on them.”

Severin nodded. He knew that the top three hundred disciples in the tournament would receive corresponding rewards. Though those rewards were not particularly abundant, the pills and inferior -grade spiritual treasures were valued by the elite disciples, as most of them were less alchemically talented unlike Severin.

The top hundred would then be awarded an additional Crystal Spring Pill, while the top 50 could obtain mediocre-quality spiritual treasures. Only the top ten would be given more substantial rewards that encompassed spiritual treasures, techniques, and pills.

Several familiar faces were spotted in the crowd, but Severin did not dwell too much on their presence. Among them were Shyam- whom he defeated, Radyn, and not least of all the core disciples such as Celeste and Raymond.
