Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1971

After hearing the report from his servant, two gleams of light burst forth from Spencer's eyes. He had entered seclusion a year ago just like Riley, and his aim was to progress from level nine supreme saint to level one paragon, which he had succeeded in doing. However, the landscape within the sect had shifted, and an additional competitor had joined the fray. It was natural for Spencer to feel a little taken aback., but he soon regained his composure.

Spencer's muscular physique brimmed with dragon-like tenacity and sun-like energy. He gestured to his servants and said, "I should like to be alone no."

Severin's recent rise to fame surprised Spencer, but he made a point not to dwell on it too much. After all, he was a paragon, and it would be hardly fitting for him to show so much concern over a supreme saint.

Though Severin was a core disciple just like him, Spencer was only mildly interested in Severin. One had to be a prodigy to become a core disciple, but even then, no two prodigies were equally as prodigious. Individuals like Celeste who relied on her Forest Constitution and top-tier alchemical talent to become a core disciple did not command Spencer's serious consideration. All of the original five core disciples possessed an element constitution, be it Spencer himself, the fourth-ranked Raymond, or the third-ranked Riley.

In Spencer's eyes, his true rival was Karl, the reputed reincarnation of an ancient great power. By comparison, Severin did not merit serious attention because he was merely a level five supreme saint. Spencer shook his head and refocused his thoughts before setting all thoughts of Severin aside.

Although the core disciples did not regard Severin as a formidable opponent, his recent goings-on had caused a sensation in the Grandiuno Sect. In was particularly prominent in his progress to the seventh floor of the Alchemy Tower and subsequent feat of surpassing Celeste in the rankings. News of his accomplishments reached every corner of the Nine Mountains, and 'Severin' seemed to be the only name on everyone's mouths.
