Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1823

After recovering from the shock, Rourie immediately heaped praise on Severin. "Your talent is truly exceptional. Few in our family have mastered the True-Sun Fist. The fact that you succeeded on your first try speaks volumes to your ability as a level nine royal saint."

In response to Rourie's praise, Severin merely shook his head slightly. "You give me far more credit than I deserve. It was merely a stroke of luck. I shall be returning to my room now if that is all."

Severin wanted to return to his room and make the most out of the enlightenment he had just experienced. He wanted to acquaint himself with the newly acquired technique. Though he had grasped the essence of the True-Sun Fist and executed it successfully, there remained some distance between understanding the basics and mastering it. He felt an unrelenting drive as if this combat technique could be further unlocked to manifest its full potential. Perhaps he could truly transform his fist into a sun, and the power he possessed then might be strong enough to level mountains.

"Please wait," Rourie called out to Severin before the latter could leave.

He undid the seal with a gesture like before and obtained several plaques from the library. Those plaques floated before Severin, each with a hazy aura that made them stand out.

Severin glanced at them, knowing that they contained combat techniques. He was a little shocked to see them because his agreement with Rourie was to help them in exchange for a single Sun-grade combat technique, nothing more, nothing less. The seven or so plaques floating in front of him prompted him to ask Rourie, "What are these for?"

"Consider it a gift from me to the other members of your group. I hope you'll accept them without reservation," Rourie responded with a gentle wave of his hand. As the plaques came closer to Severin, he continued, "Our family believes in treating all honorary elders equally, but your swift mastery of the True-Sun Fist has boosted my confidence in you for the upcoming sacred lake tournament."
