Chapter 1999

Surprised by what he heard, Severin soared up from his chair and flew out of Pearl Light Isle as soon as

he heard Emery’s voice echoing outside the island.

As he stepped out of the island’s protective formation, Severin’s attention was drawn to the sight of a

captivating woman. Her graceful figure was clothed in a pure white robe that complemented her peachy face. Like a flower unsullied by the soil that it grows on, she emanated a prominent and serene aura that

captivated anyone.

Severin stood suspended in the air upon seeing Emery. He gazed at her and suggested, “Let’s call off the

bet we made, Emery. It’s not something that we ought to be taking too seriously.

Having won the tournament against Emery and obtained the Pristine Spirit Pill and its recipe, Severin

faced much animosity from Daniella, who tended to be very protective of her student. To avoid any

potential conflicts, Severin decided to forgo Emery’s unfulfilled part of the bet.

Emery, however, seemed offended by his suggestion. She clenched her jaw and shot him an angry glare

as she pouted, “What are you implying? Do I look like a sore loser to you?”

Tears welled up in Emery’s eyes, and her expression was a complex mix of sadness. She had considered

herself a superior alchemist–even to Celeste–and believed that Celeste’s position as fifth core disciple

would be hers if not for Celeste’s Forest Constitution. Daniella’s coddling only fueled her ego even more.

Losing to Severin in the tournament was too big a blow to Emery, and she had struggled to accept the

outcome. I

Priding herself as the second prodigy among the sect’s alchemists, Emery’s arrogance grew particularly because she was backed by the support of a seventh–grade alchemist like Daniella. When Severin surpassed her name in the rankings, she was not pleased about it and came to Pearl Light Isle to issue a

challenge to Severin.

Despite her extensive preparation as well as the advantage she gained from using one of the three special cauldrons from the Sixth Mountain, she lost the tournament and spiraled into depression for over

two months.

During the two months, her defeat to Severin became a source of trauma and nightmares, thus hindering Emery’s progress. It was only later that she heard about Severin reaching the seventh floor of the Alchemy Tower, and that was when she was finally able to let go of her arrogance. Even Celeste was unable to reach the seventh floor, so Severin’s ability to achieve that feat could only mean that his talent surpassed everyone–even Celeste.

When Daniella returned to the Sixth Mountain, she could only sigh when she saw Emery’s breakdown.
