Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1969

"Thank you for your generosity. I'm very thankful for everything," Severin said, bowing to each of the peak masters. He was aware that those gifts were bestowed upon him in an attempt to win him over, given his breakthrough to the seventh floor of the Alchemy Tower and his remarkable feat of topping the Alchemy Tower's ranking. Seeing as they had shown such courtesy toward him, Severin felt a sense of obligation and resolved to visit each of the mountains without favoring one of the other.

The onlookers could only watch in envy as Severin accepted the gifts gracefully.

"I'm so jealous. I wish I was as amazing as Severin!"

"Keep dreaming. Severin is a master alchemist, and he also possesses the Chaotic Constitution! That constitution is a divine constitution!"

"Shyam and Emery failed to challenge him, and it's quite possible that Celeste would not be able to rival him either."

"Karl, the first core disciple, might be the only one who could match Severin's level."

Riley looked at the lead servant and asked, "Who achieved the feat of getting the Alchemy Tower to chime nine times?"

"It was Severin," the servant replied, "the sect's sixth core disciple. We were told that he had entered the seventh floor of the Alchemy Tower this morning and surpassed Celeste!"
