Chapter 1678


    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1678


    “…Is there truly nobody else who was able to qualify entering the elite ss? Only a single person was


    able to withstand three moves…?” asked an old master seated at the side—who had a long purple


    robe on—who went by the name of Master Jizo.


    With the strength of a person who had entered the Third rank of the Avatar Realm, Master Jizo was


    one of the masters teaching the elite ss in the academy.


    “While it’s unfortunate that that’s the case, the truth is, not only did that student manage to withstand


    three moves, but he even ended up defeating his opponent! With how strong he was, I have a feeling


    that he’s already entered the Fifth-soul-rank within the Sage Realm!” replied Karsten.


    “What? He actually managed to defeat a representative of our academy?” eximed Master Jizo in


    surprise.


    Even the other three masters found themselves exchanging nces with each other. To think that their


    newest elite ss student would have such amazing power…


    They were right to be surprised. After all, throughout the academy’s many years, Gerald was the first


    and only person who had managed to defeat a representative selected by the academy!


    “What’s his name, Karsten?” asked Sumeru, the dean of the academy.


    “Gerald Crawford, sir!”


    “Very well! Bring him over so that we can meet him!” ordered Sumeru.


    “Right away!” replied Master Ykink as he immediately left to bring Gerald over.


    Not long after, he returned with Gerald, and upon bowing again, he then introduced, “Dean and


    Masters, I present to you, Gerald Crawford!”

    Following that, he then turned to look at Gerald before adding, “That there, is Dean Sumeru, Gerald!


    The other four are the masters of the elite ss! Here we have Master Jizo, Master Temple, Master


    Yushin, and Master Vale!”


    After being introduced, Gerald then bowed before greeting, “It’s a pleasure to be within the presence of


    my dean and masters! I, Gerald Crawford, will be in your care starting today!”


    Seeing how polite Gerald was, all five of them showed satisfied expressions on their faces.


    With the introductions now over, Sumeru cut straight to the chase and asked, “So… I heard that you


    defeated our academy’s representative! Is that true?”


    Nodding in response, Gerald then replied, “It is, Dean Sumeru!”


    “Just so you’re aware, aside from you, there hasn’t been a candidate who’s been able to defeat a


    representative from our academy from the day the academy began! With that in mind, could you tell me


    what your true level of cultivation is?” asked Sumeru.


    Appearing to hesitate for a brief moment, Gerald then replied, “…I’ve currently managed to enter the


    Fifth-soul-rank in the Sage Realm, Dean Sumeru!”


    Naturally, that was a lie. The truth was, Gerald had already entered the Ninth-soul-rank in the Sage


    Realm. As for why the others hadn’t caught on, it was because Gerald had actively been concealing his


    true power.


    “I see. No wonder you were able to defeat our representative! A Fifth-soul-rank Sage… You’re


    definitely a strong one, even among your future ssmates in the elite ss!” said Sumeru as he


    nodded in satisfaction.


    “I’m ttered to hear that, dean!” replied Gerald with a smile.


    “Nicely said! Now then, since you’re going to be a student in the elite ss, you may now choose any


    of the four masters here to be your tutor!” said Sumeru.
