Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 2159

Karl sipped his hot tea in a calm and composed voice. When he was told that Severin had made a breakthrough to paragon, Karl's initial thought was surprise and bewilderment. It was rather astonishing for Severin to progress at such a swift rate, even within his generation of prodigies.

"I initially expected him to reach paragonhood earliest by next year. Who would've thought that it came so soon..." Karl savored his tea with an icy expression. He then unleashed a surge of spiritual energy from his body, creating a roaring sonic boom that ripped through the air.

Karl acknowledged his erroneous underestimating of Severin. Though he was the reincarnation of an ancient powerhouse, it had taken him two years to train from supreme saint to paragon after his rebirth. That process had taken about five or six years in his previous life.

By contrast, Severin accomplished it in just one year. There might not even be anyone in Midland who could achieve such feat.

Karl prided himself on his talent. Severin's speed might be impressive, but Karl was blessed with everything that he inherited from his previous life as a royal paragon. No ordinary paragon could ever hope to compare themselves to him. Moreover, Karl was reincarnated simply because he was driven by a strong desire for immortality in the golden age. He needed to secure his place in Midland's Grandiuno Sacred Land at all costs, and he could not allow anyone to ruin his plans.
