It was therefore unsurprising that the Gahrrs would send their people over to cause trouble. Felipe,


    Wuhlricht, and Diane finally grasped why Severin had refused. Diane seemed particrly concerned


    over it as she asked, “Won’t the Gahrrs target you tomorrow after you refused their offer?”

    Severin grinned in response and caressed Diane’s worried face. He reassured her in a gentle voice,


    “It’ll be fine. The Gahrrs are just a bunch of clowns to me! Let them face me in the arena tomorrow if


    they think they have what it takes. Why would they offer me two ces if they aren’t afraid of me? It’s


    all because I defeated three of the Walpens‘ level nine royal saints!” He finished off with a sarcastic


    remark.


    She nodded. “Yeah! But we shouldn’t underestimate them though. They are likely to be very


    formidable as inner disciples of the Deifirm Sect and Purevoid Sect. We must remain cautious.”


    “Yes,” Gilda concurred. “That goes without saying ”


    Severin shook his head helplessly as he listened to his wives and nodded reluctantly in agreement.


    Ever since thest battle he had with the Walpens, Severin had sensed that hisbat strength might


    rival. that of a level two supreme saint! Even if Thorold and Jangar could defeat a level one supreme


    saint, the gap that they had to close with him still existed. Much of the fundamentals that he possessed


    were


    taught by the old wacko–who had ascended to greater heights–so there was no question about its


    effectivity


    Severin nced at them and said, “Let’s head back now.”


    Once they were inside the courtyard, Severin detailed the process of the tournament. The rankings


    determined the entry quota, with the top ten receiving a ce at the sacredke. The first–ranked


    person


    would secure four spots; the second, three; the third, two; and the fourth until the tenth would get one


    each.


    Severin was aiming for the top spot so he could secure four ces, but there were already 11 people


    including himself and everyone in his group. Furthermore, he needed to consider that one ce had to


    be


    given to the Chorteaus, and Severin felt a bit helpless when he came to that realization. Even if he


    were


    to rank first, he would not be able to secure 11 ces for everyone.


    Wuhlricht and Felipe nced at each other when they looked at Severin’s concerned expression.


    “Have


    you forgotten? We’re level nine royal saints too! We can join the tournament tool”


    Even the fifth elder, who was usually the quietest, said, “Yes. What do we have to fear when we’re all


    level.


    nine royal saints?”


    Severin was about to express his worries when Wuhlricht cut him off. “We understand your concern,


    but


    we can’t rely on you to protect us all the time, am I right?”


    Gilda echoed her father’s sentiment and said with a smile, “I want to participate in the tournament as


    well.


    No longer able to dissuade them, Severin smiled in resignation. “Fine. Just be careful, and don’t


    hesitate to concede if you can’t defeat them!”
