Capítulo 2157


    Inside the hall, Riley had an ashen expression as he drew a deep breath in an attempt to quell his


    turmoil, yet peace of mind remained beyond reach. After a moment’s silence, he sighed, “I was


    careless.”


    Riley had the right to look down on Severin prior to thetter’s breakthrough to paragon, but the new


    development became an unexpected obstacle. Based on Severin’s track record of defeating opponents


    stronger than him, it was evident that Severin’s strength was no longer constrained by traditional


    levelling systems.


    Reflecting on Severin’s impressive aplishment of countering Uzair despite being two levels lower,


    Riley found himself increasingly attentive to Severin’s capabilities, especially since Severin had such


    an extraordinary spiritual treasure in mind.


    A headache seemed to be on the offing, but after some


    contemtion, Riley finally said, “I’ll just leave Karl and Spencer to


    handle him.”


    Though he had initially thought himself capable ofpeting against Karl and Spencer for top spot


    ranking in the sect tournament, he realized in light of Karl’s abilities that aiming for a spot in Mind


    might be biting off more than he could chew. However, securing second ce and being named the


    second sect leader seemed like a


    reasonable alternative to aim for.


    However, Severin’s unexpected breakthrough raised doubts about Riley’s chances in securing that


    second ce. Not wanting to let frustration get the better of him, Riley reassured himself that nearly


    half a year had passed since his breakthrough to paragon. He had already ensured his rise as level


    one paragon, and he believed that he might stand a chance even with Severin’s progress.


    Riley believed that he was not the only one that who was unsettled by Severin’s rise.


    On a floating ind between the third and fourth mountains, Spencer and his brimming dragon-like


    physique was listening to a barrage of reports from his attendants. His expression grew increasingly


    grim.


    Damn it!”


    Spencer did not expect Severin’s meteoric rise to paragon and initially dismissed the news as a joke!


    s, news of the peak masters’ congregation on Pearl Light Isle had confirmed his suspicions, as did


    the unusual phenomena.


    Like Riley, Spencer had acknowledged Severin’s achievements in alchemy and subsequent recognition


    by the Alchemy Tower. He had taken notice of Severin’s victory over Emery and the nine rings that


    Severin managed to get the tower to produce. However, he never perceived Severin as a true


    His estimate, much like Riley’s, was that Severi would require at least


    a year or so to make a breakthrough to paragon. By then, the tournament would have long ended, and


    the breakthrough would have little to no implications.


    Unfortunately, he was forced to face the fact that Severin had made an unexpected leap in


    advancement. All of Spencer’s ns were thrown into disarray, and he was visibly perturbed by what
