Life After Prison

Chapter 2160
After gathering his thoughts, Karl thought to himself, ‘We’l true mettle when the sect tournament comes.’ ·
None of the sect’s younger core disciples caught Karl’s attention.
Even Spencer, the second core disciple with a divine constitution, was viewed as an insignificant little speck in Karl’s eyes.
Severin’s sudden rise was a burst of refreshing excitement for Karl, and he was eager to feel just how strong the sect’s top
alchemist and talented swordsman was.
Over at Pearl Light Isle, Severin had completed his seclusion and consolidated his attainment thoroughly. His majestic and
mountainous aura was restrained, and any onlooker who laid eyes on him would realize that he had apparently returned to his
former, aura- less self. However, his energy core emanated a golden glow that bore testament to his formidable strength.
“Level two paragon is within reach now that I’m at peak-stage level one paragon,” Severin remarked. He felt the ginormous
spiritual power within him, and every breath he exhaled resulted in a formidable glow of power that covered his body with his
blazing battle spirit.
Upon opening the door and sensing the growing intensity of the murderous aura, Severin lamented, “It’s such a shame that the
tournament is in a couple of days. There’s not much time left to make any further breakthroughs.”
After spending over half a month in seclusion, and dedicating the past two days to gaining enlightenment through the
Enlightenment Stone, time was running out. Any further breakthroughs would require him to at least wait until the tournament
was over.
“Breaking through too quickly might do more harm than good,” he muttered as he left the training room. “Best to use this time to
hone my spiritual power.”
Diane and the other girls, who had been training combat techniques with Selene, greeted Severin upon his emergence.
“Severin, you’re finally out of seclusion!”
He smiled and walked toward his enthusiastic wives. “Yes. Let’s spend some time together as a family before the tournament.”

The past few days had seen Severin focused on breaking through to paragonhood, which took time away from his family. Since
his attainment had already reached that level, he could afford to slow down and enjoy some moments with his beloved wives and
daughter.
That night, everyone on Pearl Light Isle gathered in the courtyard to celebrate Severin’s breakthrough. They raised numerous
toasts to Severin, which Severin did not decline. When everyone had their fill past midnight and retreated to the comfort of a bed,
Severin spent a passion-filled night with Diane.
In the days that followed, Severin taught Selene combat techniques, played chess with the elders, and relaxed before the sect
tournament.
Excitement was abuzz without the sect as the tournament loomed, and many disciples in every corner of the sect made covert
preparations to try and aim for a high ranking in the upcoming tournament.
