Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1947

Severin was blissfully unaware of the fact that his acceptance to compete with Emery had spread like wildfire within the Grandiuno Sect. It was no exaggeration to say that the news was dropped on everyone like a bombshell.

After accepting Emery's challenge, he returned directly to Pearl Light Isle and entered the courtyard. Severin had not concealed her spiritual energy when Emery issued the challenge, and her voice reached everyone on Pearl Light Isle. Upon entering the courtyard, Wuhlricht and others immediately surrounded Severin.

Wuhlricht looked at Severin with a weathered old face and said solemnly, "You shouldn't have agreed, Severin. As far as I know, Emery is the direct apprentice of the Sixth Mountain's peak master, Daniella Wyan, and she's a very talented alchemist. We don't doubt your talent at all, and we think that you're much stronger than her; however, your reputation has also grown by leaps and bounds in the six months since you joined our sect. If you defeat Emery, the other core disciples might view you as a thorn in their side." His tone seemed to suggest his vehement disapproval of Severin's decision.

Felipe then lamented, "Yes, Severin. It's crucial for you to maintain a low profile right now." He then stroked his beard and analyzed calmly, "You've already surpassed Emery in the rankings, and her decision to challenge you was probably the result of her master playing some role in boosting her morale. You agreed in haste, which is fine if you win. But if you lose, you might jeopardize your position as a core disciple!"

They had been in the Grandiuno Sect for over half a year and was slowly gaining familiarity with the sect geniuses and elite disciples on each of the nine mountains. While Emery may not be as famous as the Five Core disciples, she was still a level nine paragon and a seventh-grade alchemist.

Severin then led his wives to the chair and continued to explain, "Even if her master is able to provide her with some special guidance, she cannot possibly surpass me in such a short time. The best she could manage is a draw."

Wuhlricht and the others found Severin's reasoning quite sensible and nodded. Though they were unfamiliar with alchemy, they knew that luck played a huge part in each small progress made by an alchemist.
