Everyone was in wide-eyed shock, but they soon erupted in a chorus of congrattory wishes when


    they saw Severin look over. One after another, they offered him their congrattions.


    Severin acknowledged them with a nod and turned to reenter Pearl Light Isle. With his figure out of


    sight, a flurry of exmations began to resonate among the disciples.


    “This has to be a first for our sect!”


    “He’s the youngest seventh-grade alchemist in history, and the` youngest elder of the Alchemy


    Chamber!”


    “Is this what it’s like to be a true genius? He joined the sect less than a year ago, and he’s already


    making such big strides in cultivation and alchemy! If I had half his talent, I’d wake up with a smile


    every morning.”


    “Don’t bother makingparisons. He could kill a level nine supreme saint like Uzair while still a level


    seven supreme saint. Are you saying that you can take down a level five supreme saint even though


    you’re only level three?”


    “How is he so ridiculously talented when he entered the sect at the same time as I did?”


    “Don’t you know that there will always be people stronger and better than us?”

    While the male disciples were filled with envy and admiration, the female disciples were consumed by a


    different kind of fervor. Countless pairs of infatuated eyes were locked on Severin’s retreating figure.


    “Severin is my dream man!”


    “Even though he has four wives, his talent will almost certainly guarantee him fame across Southsky,


    and maybe even the entire Bleurealm. He can always take a few more wives.”


    “I couldn’t agree more!”


    “I wonder what sort of woman he likes. Would I catch his eye?”


    “I’ll have him turning his head for sure! After all, I am a beautiful woman.”


    “Oh please, my admirers can form a line from here to the Seventh Mountain! That’s proof of my good


    looks! I bet I’m his type.”


    “How dare you challenge me, you wench? Severin will fall for me first!”


    The male disciples were seething when they witnessed the usually cold female disciples engage in


    such an impassioned debate over Severin’s preferences. They felt suffocated, heartbroken, and had


    their confidence shattered by the thought of the vast gulf between themselves and the Severin.


    Meanwhile, back on Pearl Light Isle, Severin announced his newfound status as the Alchemy


    Chamber’s elder, bringing waves of joy throughout the sect.


    Diane’s eyes glistened with pride and affection for her husband’s stupendous achievements.


    Meanwhile, Gilda was beaming with admiration. She and Sofia shared in his joy too.


    Felipe smiled and dered, “We must celebrate Severin’s double sess today! He has be a


    seventh-grade alchemist and was appointed the Alchemy Chamber’s elder! I’ll start gathering the


    ingredients for our feast! This momentous asion demands a celebration!”


    Selene pped her hands in glee and joined in the cheer. “Yay!” Her childish enthusiasm elicited


    smiles from everyone in the room, and preparations for the celebratory feast soon began.
