As for Eldrid and Keldor, they exchanged a knowing look, their interest piqued by Evan''s performance in the battle. They had been keeping a close eye on the young prince ever since he had begun to make waves in the n, and his disy of skill in the recent battle had certainly demanded more of their attention. They could no longer dismiss him as a mere waste of space, as they had once thought.


    Keldor''s excitement was palpable, and his admiration for the young cultivator was written all over his flushed face. His gaze was fixated on the holographic screen floating before him, his slender fingers gripping his chin, as if he could extract more secrets from the young cultivator''s incredible disy of power by sheer willpower alone.


    "What other tricks do you have up your sleeve, my dear young master? Do I need to crack open your skull to find out?" he mused with a grin.


    "Old friend, can you believe it? We totally misjudged him just because of his control-type soul te." Eldrid said, startling Keldor awake from his disturbing thoughts.


    Keldor nodded with a grin, "Absolutely, we were way off. His Highness has surpassed our expectations by far."


    "My grandson has proved us wrong, and I love it!" Eldrid chuckled, willing to recognize Evan as his grandson only because Evan had proven he was extremely talented. "Remember when we found out he had awakened a control-type soul te? We could have easily overlooked his demands and exiled him from the capital, but we didn''t. And it''s a good thing we didn''t because he''s proven that he is a valuable asset to our n."


    Keldor agreed, "Yes, indeed. We should keep a closer eye on him and see what other talents he''s hiding. He might just be our ace card for the uing The Imperial Wealth Redistribution Competition that is to start in the season of the Frozen Void."


    "You read my mind." Eldrid nodded in agreement.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    If someone had witnessed Keldor and Eldrid conversing like old friends, they would have been utterly bewildered. After all, what kind of status did Keldor hold tomand respect from someone as prominent as Eldrid? Wasn''t he just a member of the elder council? But now it seemed like he had a far greater identity than that.


    Meanwhile, inside the first floor of the monster tower, Evan scratched his chin, his eyes narrowed in deep thought.


    "It''s worth noting that wormfaces are remarkably susceptible to ice elemental attacks. Armed with this knowledge, I feel like I have a trump card up my sleeve, a surefire way to gain the upper hand in any future encounters with those slimy creatures. Yes, their vulnerability to cold is a significant weakness, but in my hands, it will be a weapon that I will exploit to gain an advantage over them if they ever cross path with me."


    Wormfaces were never a crucialponent of the game, as indicated by the absence of online guides or discussions regarding their capabilities and limitations on Earth. Moreover, since Christian Wolfie''s in-game persona belonged to the gctic soldier category, he wasn''t equipped with ice-based abilities, which prevented him from discovering the wormfaces'' vulnerability to ice elemental assaults. Hence, he remained unaware of it until now, which exins why he was taken aback when he unintentionally exploited its weakness.


    "How long have it been since I appeared on this floor of the monster tower?"


    Evan wondered how much time was left before the trial of the first floor of the monster tower would conclude.
