Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1993

Myles was not just making empty promises as he actually came to that decision after some careful consideration. It gave him a great shock to learn that the person who awakened the swordwill was Severin because a cultivator was considered a genius in the entire Southsky as long as he or she possessed top talent in one area of cultivation.

However, not only did Severin possess Chaos Divine Constitution, but he was also extremely talented in alchemy. Adding to that, he had just awakened his swordwill, which put him on the top of every sword cultivator there!

Perhaps in the past, Myles would have tried—just like the sixth peak master Daniella Phix did—to ask Severin to be his disciple. However, shocked by the various top-notch qualifications Severin possessed, Myles knew that he had nothing to offer or teach Severin.

After all, Severin was a core disciple; his status might not be as high as a peak master, but he was definitely more powerful than the elders of the sect. It would be akin to a mortal trying to make a dragon into his pet.

Therefore, Myles took another route by asking Severin to become Seventh Mountain's sword instructor. After all, even he—a level nine paragon with an awakened heptagold swordwill—found Severin's chaotic swordwill terrifying.

With such an understanding of swordsmanship, Severin was definitely fully qualified for the position of sword instructor! Moreover, it was another roundabout way of tying Severin to Seventh Mountain.

As long as Severin served as their sword instructor at Seventh Mountain for one day, no matter how high Severin reached in the future, Seventh Mountain would also benefit from his fame. With that thought in mind, Myles spoke again, "Severin, I never expected that you would have such high attainments in swordsmanship."

Faced with Myles' praise, Severin waved his hand calmly and said with a smile, "You're too kind, Mister Myles. My achievements aren't worth mentioning at all."

Myles' words became stuck in his throat after seeing how calm Severin was. 'Did he really just downplay his achievement of ranking first in the Top Swordsman ranking?'

Severin was speechless when he saw the surrounding disciples gnashing their teeth. However, he also knew how what he had just said could seem a little pretentious in the eyes of the other disciples.

At the same time, Myles finished complaining in his heart. He looked at Severin, stroked the beard on his chin, and said, "Severin, what you've done is no small achievement indeed. From the time I've established Seventh Mountain, only a few hundred people have been able to reach the Top Swordsman ranking. Most of the broken swords in the Sword Tomb were brought back from the battlefield by the ancestors of the past generations."

After a pause, he grinned bitterly and said, "The fact that you can awaken swordwill proves that you have outstanding talent in swordsmanship and are fully capable of teaching my disciples."

It was not that Myles was trying to flatter Severin, but…
