Life After Prison

Chapter 2159
Karl sipped his hot tea in a calm and composed voice. Wher told that Severin had made a breakthrough to paragon, Kar thought
was surprise and bewilderment. It was rather astonish Severin to progress at such a swift rate, even within his generation of
prodigies.
“I initially expected him to reach paragonhood earliest by next year. Who would’ve thought that it came so soon...” Karl savored
his tea with an icy expression. He then unleashed a surge of spiritual energy from his body, creating a roaring sonic boom that
ripped through the air.
Karl acknowledged his erroneous underestimating of Severin. Though he was the reincarnation of an ancient powerhouse, it had
taken him two years to train from supreme saint to paragon after his rebirth. That process had taken about five or six years in his
previous life.
By contrast, Severin accomplished it in just one year. There might not even be anyone in Midland who could achieve such feat.
Karl prided himself on his talent. Severin’s speed might be impressive, but Karl was blessed with everything that he inherited
from his previous life as a royal paragon. No ordinary paragon could ever hope to compare themselves to him. Moreover, Karl
was reincarnated simply because he was driven by a strong desire for immortality in the golden age. He needed to secure his
place in Midland’s Grandiuno Sacred Land at all costs, and he could not allow anyone to ruin his plans.
With a glimmer of determination, Karl set down his teacup with a loud thud and declared in a cold tone, “I’m aiming for first place
in the tournament. No one can stop me from achieving that and going to Midland!”
The surrounding disciples immediately began to flatter Karl. One young level eight supreme praised him. “Severin has just only
made a breakthrough to paragon. He’ll never be able to win against you!”
Another disciple chimed in, “Yeah! You’re now a level two His puny strength can only measure up to one of your fingers
Sandy felt that Severin was being gravely underestimated as he listened to all the flattery. Having seen Severin’s abilities first-
hand in the Artic Heights, he knew that there was more to Severin’s ability. Sandy remembered how Severin, at level seven
supreme saint, had defeated Uzair and severely wounded Sian. Despite Uzair and Sian’s status as prodigies in their sects,
Severin made light work of them. Despite his well-intentioned meaning to speak up, he was unable to bring himself to voice out
his concern because he knew that his words might incite trouble.

Karl scoffed at their praise, having long grown tired of the same old flattery. Though still holding his head high with pride, he did
not let the praise get to his head and instead acknowledged Severin’s meteoric and unprecedented rise.
