Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 2110

Severin had gone from strength to strength since his initial rise to prominence. He held his own against two prodigies in the ruins, then launched a fatal counterattack on Uzair and inflicted severe injury on Sian. Finally, his most recent feat was a breakthrough to level nine supreme saint just several moments ago. It all felt like a fever dream for Celeste.

Ordinary supreme saints would have difficulty advancing even through each small stage, as they would have to open at least forty meridians and fill them with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth before being able to move on.

Even talented elite disciples require a number of years—sometimes more than ten—to achieve such levels. Plenty of other people in the sect were stuck at the lower levels, and would remain so for the rest of their lives. Most of the time, the core disciples would need at least five to six years to reach level nine supreme saint from level one, an example being Celeste. Stronger core disciples like Raymond and Karl, who were higher in the rankings, would need at least three to four years.

Severin, on the other hand, had already caught up with Celeste despite entering the sect just over half a year ago. His progress was stupefying, and Celeste was filled with a complex mix of emotions. As she witnessed Severin's aura filling the sky with brightness, Celeste could not help but recall what happened at the palace inside the ruins. She had wanted to seize the Wildfire's inheritance, but Severin's unexpected emergence as a powerhouse left her with only a high-grade spiritual treasure and a handful of normal ones.

She retracted her gaze and let out a bitter laugh. "I don't think there's any point comparing myself to him," she mumbled.

His alchemical talent far outclassed hers, and his breakthroughs happened at breakneck speed too. It was pointless to make sense of his achievements because they defied all logic.

Meanwhile, on an island near the Fifth Mountain, Raymond had just prepared to enter seclusion the incident of Severin's breakthrough stunned him. His eyes widened, his pupils contracted, and his heart was churning with turmoil.

"Level nine supreme saint..." Raymond glanced toward Pearl Light Isle in a convoluted mixture of emotions. He had witnessed Severin's rise firsthand from the day he showed disdain toward the status of sixth core disciple until Severin proved himself with a gradual ascent that eventually resulted in an earth-shattering feat of slaying Uzair.

As he shook his head clear of those thoughts, Raymond muttered to himself, "There's no doubt about it. You're an outright monster, and the greatest prodigy our sect has ever known..."
