Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1828

Severin then continued, "Only practitioners who have reached level nine royal saints and are armed with spiritual weapons can contend with me!"

Upon returning from the library that morning, Severin immediately went into seclusion after grasping the essence of True-Sun Fist. The results could be seen after merely half a day. His punches cut through the air like a blade of wind, and his combat prowess had increased several fold.

Though level nine royal saints were powerful existences in Nontwo City, Severin felt that he might be able to emerge victorious even if he were to take on seven or eight of them!

Delighted at his progress, Severin examined his energy core and noticed that it was absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy like a voracious beast. However, there was still no sign of a breakthrough. He sighed in frustration and said, "It's still not working! There seems to be some kind of barrier stopping me from making a breakthrough every time I try to do so. No wonder the Chorteau siblings made that remark about supreme saints being unlike ordinary practitioners. Supreme saints are only one step away from becoming a paragon!"

Seeing as that single step felt like a chasm that he was unable to cross through, Severin felt disheartened and ceased his attempts. "It would be better for me to focus on preparing for the tournament."

He closed his eyes once more to continue from where he left off, but he was just about to focus when a thunderous shout reverberated from outside his room.
