Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1848

It was the first time that Severin encountered such an arrangement whereby the organizers gave away two places after recognizing that it would be difficult for them to win against him. After all, there were fifteen spots available in the tournament, and they were hoping he would not throw his hat into the ring after two gratuitous spots.

Severin reflected on the proposal before saying with a grin, "Two places aren't enough."

He was not alone in feeling that way. Wuhlricht, Felipe, and his wives were all eagerly awaiting to secure a breakthrough at the sacred lake. They were not about to accept a measly two places just because it was given to them as a concession.

Severin's rebuff of their offer elicited a stark change of expression in Kiyu, Rourie, and the rest of the Chorteaus.

"It would be wise to accept it," Rourie suggested with a wry smile. "I heard that the Gahrrs and Lischalts have already recalled their disciples from the Deifirm Sect and Purevoid Sect for this tournament."

One of the elders said, "Thorold Gahrr, who is from the Deifirm Sect, is rumored to have been born with the Thunderbolt Constitution. His thunderous ability reaches a near-ideal level of perfection, and his combat strength can rival that of a level one supreme saint even though he is just a level nine royal saint!"

Godfrey, the ninth elder, supplemented additional information on the Lischalts. "Jangar Lischalt, who is a member of the Purevoid Sect, is much stronger. He has attuned himself to the swordwill since a young age and was immediately accepted as one of their inner disciples.

Rourie then added, "I heard that both Thorold and Jangar are now elite disciples, and they intend to bring some of their family members into the sect. The upcoming edition of the tournament will almost certainly provide some intense competition."
