Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1900

Oskar moved on from his surprise and sought to remedy the situation. As he opened his palm and curled his fingers inward, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a thousand-mile radius seemed to pour right into his palm. He then directed the ball of energy toward Pearl Light Isle. The spiritual energy turned into rainfall that covered the surrounding area and replenished what Severin had drained.

Oskar then used his divine sense to relay a message to the restless disciples on the Fifth Mountain. "Remain calm. He is the newly promoted sixth core disciple, and he is in seclusion."

The words were like a bombshell that sparked a flurry of discussion on the Fifth Mountain.

"The sixth core disciple? Since when did we have a sixth core disciple?"

"One of the seniors who returned from Pearl Light Isle said that the sixth core disciple is someone with a divine constitution who had been recruited from the sacred lake. Our sect leader made an exception and gave him the position of core disciple because of those factors!"

"I can't imagine how talented he must be! He has already drained tens of miles worth of spiritual energy during seclusion!"

"Hehe, this is intriguing. Countless elite disciples have challenged the five core disciples to try and wrest the position from them, but all five core disciples are very powerful. Our new core disciple might just become a new target!"

News of the sixth core disciple spread quickly throughout the Grandiuno Sect's nine mountains, creating a buzz of curiosity about Severin. Everyone—be it outer, inner, or elite disciples—was very curious about him.

The ranking was devised by those who had too much time on their hands. They created a system based on the strength of the five core disciples and the other elite disciples. That Shyam ranked among the top ten was a testament to his abilities. Shyam had wanted to secure a spot as a core disciple as well, and he had challenged the five core disciples many times in the past. However, the five core disciples were supreme saints at levels seven or eight, but all of them ended in failure.

As a result, Shyam had consigned himself to just becoming an elder after his day as an elite disciple was over, but learning about the presence of a sixth core disciple reignited his fighting spirit. It had been tradition for the sect to have only five core disciples, and he would have been less frustrated if Severin were one of the five. The unprecedented exception that the sect had made for Severin filled him—and many others—with jealousy.

Shyam stared coldly at the spiritual vortex above Pearl Light Isle. He then vowed to himself, "Show me what you've made of! I want to know how you managed to get the sect to set this sort of precedent for you!"

Shyam was not alone in thinking that way. All the disciples on the rankings, excluding the five core disciples, directed their attention toward Pearl Light Isle.
