Semua Bab Life After Prison: Bab 1921 - Bab 1930

Severin had passed the exam with such sheer speed that everyone was left reeling in shock. The Alchemy Tower space was a simulation that existed in a space of its own, and it was established by the Grandiuno Sect's fifth sect leader to remain unaffected by events outside of the tower.Upon entering the fifth floor, Severin promptly familiarized himself with the next assessment. The test involved using various spirit beast materials to refine fifth-grade pills. The specific type of pill was left to the discretion of the person taking the assessment, and no time limit was specified. However, he had to produce at least a minimum of a thousand types of pills.Severin's expression turned much more serious compared to before. "It gets more challenging with each floor, and I didn't think that this floor would require me to use spirit beast material to create pills."In the past, Severin used only herbs when crafting pills and rarely incorporated material from spirit beasts. However, the al

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 rivale

Half a month later, Severin's bloodshot eyes were almost completely red, and he had completely taken on the appearance of an almost deranged individual. For some reason, however, Severin was aglow with excitement and anticipation, rather than fatigue!Over the past half month, he had finally achieved his formidable goal of concocting 1,000 different types of pills. Credit was due, of course, to his unwavering perseverance. Despite the depletion of spiritual power in his energy core, a genuine smile finally graced Severin's face.Just as he completed that milestone, the surroundings underwent a swift and ephemeral transformation. A voice that had last spoken to him more than six months ago echoed in his ears, "You have passed the assessment and may advance to the sixth floor."After breathing a sigh of relief, felt as if the energy in his body had been sucked dry. He was feeling incredibly weak, and more than half a year of incessant dedication had taken its toll on him. The constant

Emery could not bear to witness her concede her position, but her pride had taken a hit of vulnerability when she faced the undeniable reality. In the past, she had been hailed as the Sixth Mountain's prodigy. The gap between herself and Celeste would be minimal, if not entirely absent, if Celeste did not have the Forest Constitution. Being spoken in the same breath as Celeste had imparted Emery with not just confidence but a touch of arrogance too. It was intensified all the more by her countless admirers.Having struggled for three years without breaking through the fifth level, the news of Severin's achievement in just half a year hit Emery hard despite her laughing off previous comparisons between her and Severin. While she might lag in attainment talent compared to a core disciple like Severin, she deemed herself to possess a superior proficiency in alchemy.As she contemplated her chances of being the first to reach the sixth-grade alchemist and possibly even challenging Severi

Evening came, and Emery stood in silence by the entrance of the Alchemy Tower as she looked at the third-placed name on the ranking list—Severin Feuillet. She appeared exhausted, and even the luster of her eyes had dimmed slightly. Despite her continuous efforts during her third attempt, she managed to concoct only 998 pill recipes, falling short by the last two needed to complete the assessment. Mentally exhausted from all that exertion, she reluctantly left the place.That ordeal marked Emery's first encounter with defeat and frustration. He looked at Severin's name again and uttered with a bitter smile, "Just how talented are you!"She had strived for several years and failed the test thrice, yet Severin had passed it all in just over half a year. It was a huge blow to Emery's ego, especially since she had once asserted that her alchemical prowess could rival that of Celeste.Emery left the Alchemy Tower in despair, haunted by the thought of Severin wresting away her third place.
