    Chapter 2696


    Elder Maurice sighed as he continued, “After all, he had won the second stage for Sky Peak Pavilion. I


    don’t know if this kid actually has the skills.”


    Mr. Zayne shook his head helplessly and replied, “Even though the core of this stage isn’t alchemy, I


    feel like we can‘t look down on this brat. We’ll have to count on ude to get a good result. Only then


    will we have hope to win this tournament.”


    Elder Maurice nodded and let out a wry smile, not saying anything. What followed was a strange


    silence between everyone. Jackie had not spoken the whole time either. He merely stood on the spot


    calmly, as if nothing would affect him at all.


    Once an hour passed, there did not seem to be any movements behind the door. Everyone had lost


    track of time with how quiet it was.


    Elder Maurice suddenly said, “Time’s up. Two of you, go bring him out!”


    The time limit was set at an hour. If the participant did get the fruit within an hour, they would be cleared


    out and be considered a failure.

    The moment Master Forrest said that the two stewards pushed open the door and entered the realm.


    When ude was brought out, he did not have any injuries on him but was in a terrible mood.


    His head was down, and he looked like his whole family had died. When he walked out, he did not


    even dare to look up at Elder Maurice and the others.


    Master Forrest could not hide his smile anymore, “An hour’s already passed, and you did not get a


    Green Phoenix Fruit. You’ve already lost, do you acknowledge this?”


    ude nodded sadly. Master Forrest let out a pleased smirk but still said, “There’s no need to be so


    depressed. You’ve done your best. I think Elder Maurice won’t me you too much, since you’ve tried


    your best.”

    Those words caused anger to boil in Elder Maurice again, which had been precisely Master Forrest’s


    intention. Even Jackie frowned when he heard that. ude did not even dare to breathe after he heard


    that. He knew that he hadmitted a very big sin. In truth, he had clearly known that he would not be


    able to seed after half an hour. To avoid getting injured and to avoid Elder Maurice ming him, he


    chose to stay inside for the whole hour. He only walked out after Master Forrest had announced that


    the round was over.


    Jackie furrowed his eyebrows, somewhat speechless at ude. ude was even worse than he had


    expected.


    There was not a single scratch on his clothes, it was obvious how safe he had been inside. No wonder


    that guy had been cursing how dangerous the test was. It seemed like he really valued his own body.


    At least Benedict had done his best and was even injured from it ude had actually done nothing at


    all.


    Thinking about that, Jackie shook his head helplessly.


    Elder Maurice and Mr. Zayne were no idiots. They naturally knew what had been on ude’s mind. On


    top of that, there were also those words Master Forrest had just said. Elder Maurice was starting to feel


    like he wanted to kill ude.Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.
