Myles was not just making empty promises as he actually came to that decision after some careful consideration. It gave him a great shock to learn that the person who awakened the swordwill was Severin because a cultivator was considered a genius in the entire Southsky as long as he or she possessed top talent in one area of cultivation.
However, not only did Severin possess Chaos Divine Constitution, but he was also extremely talented in alchemy. Adding to that, he had just awakened his swordwill, which put him on the top of every sword cultivator there!
Perhaps in the past, Myles would have tried—just like the sixth peak master Daniella Phix did—to ask Severin to be his disciple. However, shocked by the various top-notch qualifications Severin possessed, Myles knew that he had nothing to offer or teach Severin.
After all, Severin was a core disciple; his status might not be as high as a peak master, but he was definitely more powerful than the elders of the sect. It would be akin to a mortal trying to make a dragon into his pet.
Therefore, Myles took another route by asking Severin to become Seventh Mountain's sword instructor. After all, even he—a level nine paragon with an awakened heptagold swordwill—found Severin's chaotic swordwill terrifying.
With such an understanding of swordsmanship, Severin was definitely fully qualified for the position of sword instructor! Moreover, it was another roundabout way of tying Severin to Seventh Mountain.
As long as Severin served as their sword instructor at Seventh Mountain for one day, no matter how high Severin reached in the future, Seventh Mountain would also benefit from his fame. With that thought in mind, Myles spoke again, "Severin, I never expected that you would have such high attainments in swordsmanship."
Faced with Myles' praise, Severin waved his hand calmly and said with a smile, "You're too kind, Mister Myles. My achievements aren't worth mentioning at all."
Myles' words became stuck in his throat after seeing how calm Severin was. 'Did he really just downplay his achievement of ranking first in the Top Swordsman ranking?'
