Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 2103

The news left Karl speechless, and his silence casted a tense atmosphere. Severin's meteoric rise had left him genuinely surprised.

Karl—as the first core disciple of the Grandiuno Sect, blessed with the ridiculously strong Sky-Soil Divine Constitution, and rumored to be the reincarnation of an ancient practitioner—found himself shaken by the events that unfolded. He lamented that Sandy had failed to secure the spiritual treasure. "Severin is quite the lucky person to have secured the elite-quality spiritual treasure as well as Wildfire's legacy. He would be considered a prodigy, even in ancient times."

During a more ancient time in his past life, defeating two prodigies who were stronger than oneself was a feat that even few could accomplish. As Karl was busy processing that information, Sandy's figure appeared above the island, having returned with Oskar and the others from the Artic Heights. He descended before Karl and bowed his head in shame. "I have failed in securing the spiritual treasure."

Sandy was feeling apprehensive at that moment too. Karl had entrusted him with retrieving the Sky-Soil Zenith from the ruins, so his failure was doubtlessly a heavy one. His failure made him uneasy, and he feared Karl's reprimanding upon returning to the sect.

Karl's silence and shifting emotions led Sandy to misinterpret it as anger. He hurriedly explained, "Severin's rise is simply too quick. He killed the Deifirm Sect's Uzair and inflicted a very critical injury on Sian. None of the prodigies could hold out against him! Everyone who entered the ruins returned empty-handed because many of the important treasures had bene claimed by Severin!"

The bitterness that Sandy felt could not be adequately described in words. He was sixth on Grandiuno Sect's list of prodigies, and his perfect-stage level eight supreme saint attainment could outmatch even a level nine supreme saint! Unfortunately, many of the prodigies who entered the ruins were stellar fighters who wielded strength beyond their level.
