Before long, the other Gahrr disciples above the valley finally sensed that something was amiss. That their two clan elders had teamed up against such an adversary made them realize that Severin was their most formidable foe since entering the Fierce Beast Mountain. Such a circumstance typically unfolded only when the clan elders faced a strong enemy. Both elders were level two paragons, and the only enemy that could force them into such a situation was likely someone on the same level as them.
Sian formed a similar conclusion, but he could not accept that it was actually happening. "This can't be possible!" It had been just two months since their encounter at the Artic Heights, and no amount of talent could reasonably explain how Severin could make more than one breakthrough since then. Achieving such feats within such a short span of time was unheard of in the Bleurealm.
Unlike a breakthrough from royal saint to supreme saint, the breakthrough from supreme saint to paragon required one to be attuned to the power of heaven and earth. Ordinary practitioners frequently remained stagnant for years—perhaps even centuries. Even Southsky's most formidable talents like Karl, Simeon, and the others needed a year or two to reach paragon. It was unthinkable that Severin could leap across such vast barriers in just two months.
Sian swiftly rejected the supposition, but he erred on the side of caution and promptly flew several miles away with the other disciples to establish a safe distance.
Hasa's expression grew solemn after he joined Zia in the sky and witnessed his attack being intercepted. When Zia was finally able to catch a breath, he produced a green palm-sized cauldron that emitted a spiritual light.
