Gotzel did not hold back his temper at all. He snorted and said sarcastically, "I knew that someone is weak, but I never expected him to be so weak. Allocating a slot for him is a waste." Naturally, the others understood that he was referring to Fade.

Although there were some people who disagreed with his words, he was still the guardian of the Tianwu Clan, so most of them dared not oppose him openly.

Both Sanne and Jiles, the guardians of Lindsay Hall and Juetong Temple looked down silently at the same time, pretending not to hear his words.

As for Kinsley, he spoke up for Fade once again.

"Master Tuan, you are being biased. Staying on the first level does not necessarily signify weakness. Perhaps they have other plans." "Other plans? What kind of other plans?" Gotzel snapped rudely. On the side, Sanne sensed the tense situation and felt a bit anxious. She chuckled and said, "Maybe they've found something and so they are stopping at the first level."

"What could they find on the first level? At most, there may be some medical herbs."

"He has no sense if he is really baffled by these things. It's ridiculous."

Gotzel retorted.

Jiles, who had not spoken for a long time, finally voiced out.

"If that's the case, the others must be glad because they have one less competitor."

Gotzel did show some respect to Jiles, and he merely nodded to his words.

After pausing for a moment, he still couldn't help but comment sarcastically, "Speaking of which, I'm afraid this kind of trash isn't even qualified to be a competitor of our Tianwu Clan's disciples." Kinsley frowned, he couldn't help but hiss, "It seems that Master Tuan is very confident in his disciples. I wonder how much martial essence Wagner will be able to comprehend this time." Gotzel shot him a glance and said confidently, "I trained him personally, so I will surely have confidence in him."

"As for how much martial essence he'll be able to comprehend, it'll depend on his own abilities."

"However, I still have confidence in Wagner. I've set a small goal for him. He must be able to comprehend at least 50 streaks of martial essence!"

Upon hearing this, the other guardians couldn't help but look at him in shock.

Although they still had a huge distance away from reaching the Lord Level, they were much more knowledgeable than ordinary martial artists.

Martial essence was generally measured with streaks.

Generally speaking, if a martial artist was able to comprehend certain attributes of martial essence to around 10,000 streaks, he would have a chance to break through to the Lord Level. Of course, different properties and martial artists had different standards.

All in all, it was the minimum criteria for one to comprehend at least 10,000 streaks in order to ascend to the Lord Level.

Now, Gotzel said that Wagner was able to comprehend at least 50 streaks of martial essence. It might not seem much and there was still a long way to 10,000 streaks.

But in fact, 50 streaks of martial essence was considered a huge achievement.

After all, even Gotzel, Kinsley, Sanne, and Jiles, had not exceeded 500 streaks, despite being the guardians of the four Heaven Level Clans, much less than Half-Lord Level masters. Even Gotzel, the strongest among them, could only comprehend around 500 streaks.

Both Kinsley and Sanne had achieved around 460 streaks.

Whereas Jiles had a total of 420 streaks.

With that being said, Jiles' comprehension on the martial essence was pure and high quality due to the nature of his clan. As such, he was not any inferior to the other three in terms of his strength. It took years of cultivation for the guardians to reach this amount. In comparison, 50 streaks for Wagner were indeed a shocking goal.

Seeing the stunned expression on their faces, Gotzel couldn't help but show a smile.

Then, he added lightly, "I'm not putting my faith in him blindly."

"He is indeed one with great potential. To be frank, he has comprehended his first streak of martial essence a month ago. By now, he's got 5 streaks."

"That's why I have so much confidence in him."

As soon as he said this, everyone at the scene was impressed. The faces of the guardians changed drastically.

They were all well aware that it was

a huge milestone to get the first streak of martial essence. Once one overcame this, the following comprehensions would be much easier with the experience.

It was precisely because of this that many were stuck on this threshold and weren't able to break through for a long time. Even worse, some were stuck on this threshold for the rest of their lives, unable to

comprehend a single streak of

martial essence.

Now that Wagner had crossed this threshold, he was indeed at an upper hand compared to the others.

In an instant, all the guardians were silent.

The atmosphere at the scene froze.

Right at this moment, there was a hubbub amongst the crowd in the courtyard.

"Ah!"

"What is that?"

"What's with the flash of light?"

Following the voices of the crowd, the

guardians raised their heads and looked in the direction of the water mirror.

Aside from the light spots representing the explorers, there was a grayish-brown glow drifting over the water mirror like a ribbon. After which, it slowly faded away and eventually vanished.

"That was... martial essence!"

"Someone has comprehended the martial essence."

"The first streak of martial essence has appeared."

"It seems to be a martial essence of the stone or earth nature."

"Who is it? Who has comprehended this streak of martial essence?"

At this moment, even the guardians couldn't help but get excited.

"It must be Wagner. Considering his strength and current position, he must be the one," Gotzel beamed confidently.

Jiles nodded and agreed, "It should be him. It is a natural martial essence. He is doing great."

Sanne also started, "The disciples are doing quite well this year. The first streak of the martial essence is found on the third level; it was a lot faster than last year."

Only Kinsley stayed silent. He merely stared at the water mirror with a serious look, as if he was trying hard to find something.

Upon seeing this, Gotzel couldn't help but laugh. "Master Zou, why aren't you speaking anymore? Are you startled by the fact that Wagner has comprehended the first streak of martial essence?" Kinsley ignored his sarcastic remarks and continued to stare at the water mirror with full attention.

After watching for a while, Kinsley

suddenly shook his head and

claimed, "No, this martial essence was not comprehended by Wagner." "Who else could it be other than Wagner?" "Haha Kinsley, I think you just couldn't accept the fact!"

"Even if it's not Wagner, there's still Shamos, Kelton, Yura and the rest. Anyhow, it would never be your favorite, Fade."
