    Chapter 2697


    It was no longer a matter of just dragging them down. It was a problem with ude‘s own attitude as


    he had crossed the line. Even Mr. Zayne hated ude at that point.


    He shuffled over to where Phoenix Valley was. He knew that there was no way he would be able to


    avoid any consequences. After taking a few deep breaths, he slowly raised his head. When he saw


    Elder Maurice’s infuriated expression, his whole body shivered as he took a step back.


    Elder Maurice coldly said, “You‘ve really disappointed me this time. Do you still remember what I told


    you when you entered? I guess youpletely ignored it. You didn‘t even try at all, and only thought


    about not getting yourself hurt…”


    ude hurriedly shook his head at those words and replied, “It’s not like that. Elder Maurice, how could


    I dare to do that? I’ve already done my best. I’ve tried every possible n, but it’s useless. I’m only at


    the early stage of the innate level, how could I dare to stand up against a spring solidifying realm beast.


    I tried using my smarts. I don’t know how the others got injured. They must have made a mistake


    somewhere.”

    “I wasn’t injured purely because I was incredibly careful. That’s how I came out untouched by that


    spring solidifying realm beast…” As he said that, tears started to form in ude’s eyes. It was as if


    ude would start crying if he was questioned more.


    Jackie pursed his lips helplessly, feeling like ude thought everyone else was stupid. He felt like he


    was the only smart one. It would have been better if he had not said anything, but he made Elder


    Maurice even angrier after he did. Elder Maurice had not nned on saying anything too unpleasant


    initially.


    After all, it was not just Phoenix Valley gathered there, but Sky Peak Pavilion as well. If he said too


    much he would just beughed at.


    Yet, ude had added oil to the fire at that point, not reflecting on his mistakes. He was even trying to


    find excuses, so Elder Maurice was naturally infuriated.


    “Why were you in such a rush to defend yourself after you came out? Do you think we‘re all stupid?


    You know yourself what you’ve done. If you really did put in the work, you wouldn’t have walked out


    unscathed!”


    Hearing that, ude felt even more wronged as he replied, “I really did do everything I could, but this


    isn’t a test of my alchemic abilities, but my adaptability. I did my best and couldn’t get the results you


    wanted. I really was very careful, and that’s why I wasn’t injured. It’s not because I wasn’t working


    hard.”


    Elder Maurice felt that exnation was not convincing enough. Even though Benedict had failed earlier,


    Elder Maurice had not been so angry. It was because ude really had a problematic attitude.


    Master Forrest was no idiot, he naturally knew what ude was thinking. As someone from Sky Peak


    Pavilion, the more ude acted like that, the happier he got.


    Master Forrest frowned as he said with a concerned look, “I can tell that you’ve definitely done your


    best. Otherwise, you would havee out way before. You wouldn’t have stayed in there for an hour.


    It’s because you were doing your best that you worked till the veryst moment!”


    Hearing that, ude nodded immediately as he thankfully looked at Master Forrest, “Master Forrest is


    right. If I wasn’t doing my best, I wouldn’t have stayed in there for so long. It’s because I was trying to


    do as much, that I fought till thest moment…”
