Oskar moved on from his surprise and sought to remedy the situation. As he opened his palm and
curled his fingers inward, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a thousand–mile radius
seemed to pour right into his palm, He then directed the ball of energy toward Pearl Light Isle. The
spiritual energy turned into rainfall that covered the surrounding area and replenished what Severin had
drained.
Oskar then used his divine sense to ry a message to the restless disciples on the Fifth Mountain.”
Remain calm. He is the newly promoted sixth core disciple, and he is in seclusion.”
The words were like a bombshell that sparked a flurry of discussion on the Fifth Mountain.
“The sixth core disciple? Since when did we have a sixth core disciple?
“One of the seniors who returned from Pearl Light Isle said that the sixth core disciple is someone with
a
divine constitution who had been recruited from the sacredke. Our sect leader made an exception
and
gave him the position of core disciple because of those factors!”
“I can’t imagine how talented he must be! He has already drained tens of miles worth of spiritual energy
during seclusion!”
“Hehe, this is intriguing. Countless elite disciples have challenged the five core disciples to try and
wrest
the position from them, but all five core disciples are very powerful. Our new core disciple might just
be a new target!
News of the sixth core disciple spread quickly throughout the Grandiuno Sect’s nine mountains,
creating
a buzz of curiosity about Severin. Everyone–be it outer, Inner, or elite disciples–was very curious about
him.
Those who were in the know acknowledged Severin’s strength and feared him somewhat. After all,

Severin had disyed exceptional talent in securing victories against two young prodigies, Thorold and
Jangar.
Those who did not know much about Severin could only nce at Pearl Light Isle with jealousy.
Inside a rustic–looking house on the Eighth Mountain, a tall and burly man in a green robe wore a
complex mix of expressions upon learning about the new sixth core disciple. He felt equal parts envy
and resentment, and he was emanating a spiritual glow that stemmed from his dense spiritual energy
as a
level five supreme saint.
Every breath that he took was like a thunderous sonic wave, and the air shot out of his nose like a
rocket whenever he exhaled.
“Severin Feuillet! How did you manage to get the position of a core disciple?!” the man remarked
furious as he looked at Pearl Light Isle. His name was Shyam Suddie, and he ranked tenth in the sect’s
Prodigy Ranking. He made a breakthrough to level six supreme saint at the age of 20–a feat that few
could achieve.
The ranking was devised by those who had too much time on their hands. They created a system
based on the strength of the five core disciples and the other elite disciples. That Shyam ranked among
the top ten was a testament to his abilities. Shyam had wanted to secure a spot as a core disciple as
well, and he had challenged the five core disciples many times in the past. However, the five core
disciples were supreme saints at levels seven or eight, but all of them ended in failure.
As a result, Shyam had consigned himself to just bing an elder after his day as an elite disciple
was over, but learning about the presence of a sixth core disciple reignited his fighting spirit. It had
been tradition for the sect to have only five core disciples, and he would have been less frustrated if
Severin were one of the five. The unprecedented exception that the sect had made for Severin filled
him–and many others–with jealousy.
Shyam stared coldly at the spiritual vortex above Pearl Light Isle. He then vowed to himself, “Show me
what you’ve made of! I want to know how you managed to get the sect to set this sort of precedent for
you!”
Shyam was not alone in thinking that way. All the disciples on the rankings, excluding the five core
disciples, directed their attention toward Pearl Light Isle.
