    Chapter 1923


    Upon hearing Emery’s question, a disciple beside her nodded slowly and answered, “Yes. That’s him!”


    “He entered the Alchemy Tower six months ago, and he’s been progressing rapidly after passing the


    first floor’s assessment,” the disciple said with admiration.


    Severin’s ascent in the Alchemy Tower’s rankings in the past six months, coupled with news of his


    victory over Shyam, led more and more disciples to be curious about Severin’s aplishments.


    In response, many more people had gathered near the Alchemy Tower, as they were eager to witness


    just what kind of a person Severin was.


    Emery’s expression became stern as she absorbed all the information.


    She about Severin from six months ago when he had been epted as the sixth core disciple. She


    was envious of his sudden rise and was curious about his abilities because of the exception that Oskar,


    the sect leader, had made for him.


    Despite being one of the Sixth Mountain’s prodigious alchemists, Emery believed her skills rivaled that


    of Severin’s. She considered herself only slightly less proficient than Celeste in alchemy, and she


    attributed Celeste’s sess to the Forest Constitution–a constitution that her family possessed. That


    constitution was an Element Constitution, and Emery viewed even Celeste’s rise as merely a matter of


    luck.


    As a fifth–grade high–rank alchemist, Emery stood on the brink of bing a sixth–grade alchemist.


    Her attainment level matched that of elite disciples, and she possessedbat prowessparable to


    a level six supreme saint. In her opinion, she stood a chance of challenging the sect’s core disciples.


    After all, all the core disciples save Celestecked any alchemical skill. As the Sixth Mountain’s


    prodigy, her talent enabled her to spend only three years to reach the tower’s fifth floor.


    Although impressed by Severin’s speed, Emery did not feel discouraged by that. The difficulty of the


    fifth floor was such that even someone of her abilities was stuck for a long time. Even Celeste with the


    Forest Constitution needed several years to finally make progress. As she looked at Severin’s name


    and the nine hundred recipes that he had created, a twinkle appeared in Emery’s eyes as she realized


    that he was less than ten recipes away from reaching her level. She murmured, “Interesting! Who


    would’ve thought that our new core disciple has shown so much promise in alchemy.”


    While she had just fallen short of the thousand–mark in her attempt and only managed to create 935


    pills, she remained confident that could reach the sixth floor with time.


    Severin had shown tremendous speed in reaching the fifth floor and creating the recipes, but reaching


    the sixth floor was a different matter altogether. She did not seem all too concerned that Severin was


    catching up to her.

    She turned back toward the Alchemy Tower and stated calmly, “His speed ismendable, but speed


    is not the be–all and end–all for one to make a breakthrough to sixth–grade alchemist.”


    With a tenacious fighting spirit in her eyes, Emery’s straightforward approach was clear – she just had


    to keep her achievements within reach of the person who was about to catch up to her!
