Severin looked at the bewildered Rourie and smiled. “I apologize for misleading you. We had our


    reasons for hiding out attainment, and I could assure you that we did not hide our attainment on


    purpose.”


    During the past month, Rourie and his family had nothing but praise for Severin and hispanions.


    They


    gave Severins group treatment that far exceeded that of ordinary honorary elders. When Rourie finally


    came back to his senses, he took a deep breath and waved his hand. “I was caught off guard by what


    happened. I didn’t expect all of you to be level nine royal saints


    With eleven esteemed level nine royal saints on their side, the Chorteaus were bound to secure at least


    a


    few ces in the tournament regardless of whether or not they performed well. Rourie brimmed with


    excitement and hurriedly headed to the mayor’s side to put their names in.


    Kiyu was left speechless when he learned that the Chorteaus had submitted eleven participants. He


    warned Rourie solemnly. “Are you not aware that anyone participating in the tournament must at least


    have reached level eight royal saint? Do not make a mockery of this!


    “I can assure you that they have reached the necessary attainment level!” Rourie assured Kiyu as soon


    as


    he saw the mayor’s anger.


    The genuineness in Rourie’s response eventually elicited a nod from Kiyu. He was nevertheless


    surprised by the sudden development and said, ‘When did the Chorteaus amass such formidable


    strength?‘


    Kiyu might notprehend the reasons behind their sudden rise, but he nevertheless handed elevent


    entry tokens to Rourie. He then sent someone to ry the news to the other families in the nearby


    waiting


    area.


    Thorold was leaning on his chair and resting his eyes when he was told of the news. He opened his


    eyes and narrowed them as he gazed toward the Chorteaus. His jet–ck pupils seemed to be glowing


    with a near–tangible murderous aura. The fact that the Chorteaus had fielded 11 participants made him


    snort. No wonder Severin rejected the offer, It’s because he has a formidable team with him! Still,


    having more people doesn’t necessarily guarantee that they’ll secure a ce in the sacredke!”


    Meanwhile, standing near the Chorteaus was a ck–robed young man who exuded an unassuming


    and schrly air. His handsome mien wasplete with pinkish lips and pearly–white teeth. In his


    hands was a book that he seemned to be very much engrossed in.


    Someone then arrived to ry information about the Chorteaus‘ participants. The person also made


    special mention of Severin’s particrly Impressive record. The young man then turned to the


    Chorleaus


    and sneered.


    After closing his book, Jangar raised his head and nced at the Chorteaus. His eyes were fixed on


    think there’d be so many hidden talents in this small city. I assumed this tournament was just a


    competition between Thorold and myself. It is no small surprise that a dark horse has entered the fray.”


    Having heard about Thorold’s invitation to Severin and the subsequent revtion that the Chorteaus


    fielded eleven participants, Jangar’s anticipation for the uing event grew even more.


    Shortly afterward, more people gathered as many of the city’s major families arrived. Kiyu, the mayor.


    gave a nod to a gray–haired Grandiuno Sect elder, who flew up into the air. “I hereby announce that the


    tournament has officially begun!”


    As the elder articted the rules of the tournament, the bell–like sound echoed throughout Nontwo


    City. Secondster, a colossal arena descended from the sky.


    The arena formed by the powers of the Grandiuno Sect elders bore a shield that protected the outside


    surroundings from the powerfulpetitors‘ aura within. It ensured that participants could unleash their


    full potential without being constrained by external factors.


    Severin nced at the gray–haired old man when the arena materialized, surmising that the elder was


    at least a supreme saint! When the arena appeared, Severin sensed the formidable natural power


    emanating from the man’s body. The elder’s aura was so terrifying that an opponent might feel as if


    they were up against the whole world!

    ‘Let’s get this tournament done and over with as quickly as possible. We must gain ess to the


    sacred


    and make a swift breakthrough to supreme saint!” Severin thought to himself.
