Chapter 491
Chapter 491 Second Grade Adept
Fire Throne Tower.
No more than three adepts in the tower could have known about Greem’s premature advancement today.
Things were just like usual. Today was still an ordinary, average day with no anomalies.
However, once it reached a specific hour, everyone suddenly received a message. They all exited their labs, rooms, and lecture halls to hurry to the fourth level of the tower.
Eight tower adepts and twelve staying adepts gathered in the arcane hall, instantly filling the place to the brim.
Most of the adepts still didn’t understand what was happening. They were intimidated by the weighty atmosphere when they arrived at the scene, and they instantly figured out that something important was happening in the tower. These staying adepts were only guests. It was natural that they had no prior knowledge of the strange ongoings of the tower’s leaders.
The adepts gathered together and started talking, trying to ask about what might happen next. Some of the adepts who had been staying for a while, and who had established closer relations with the tower adepts, secretly started to communicate via magical messages.
As blood energy gathered there, the charcoal remnants of her palm fell to the ground, revealing red and smooth skin below.
“I can’t help it. The amount of fire I absorbed this time was too rich. It will take me a few days to completely digest it.” The flame giant replied with his echoing voice.
“Teacher, is that you? You…you advanced to Second Grade?” Meryl stepped forward in excitement and stuttered as she asked.
Teacher? Advanced?
If the audience still couldn’t understand the situation at this moment, then they would have no right to be known as an always wise and knowledgeable adept.
The adepts present couldn’t help but hold their breaths as they silently waited for the giant’s reply.
“Hurhur! Meryl. Very fortunately for me, I succeeded in advancing this time!” The flame giant raised its head and let out a joyous laugh that resembled the roar of a tsunami. However, it then lowered its head and looked at its huge body. The giant sighed, “Still, the fire I absorbed during the advancement ceremony is a little too much. I’ll probably need two weeks to digest it and return to my original form completely.”
The flame giant Greem had transformed into started muttering to himself. However, all the adepts had selectively ignored his comments. All their focus and attention was on the first sentence.
He succeeded!
The owner of Fire Throne had become a Second Grade adept!
This kind of explosive news blew everyone away. Their mouths were opened wide, and their arms hung slack at their sides. They could only stare at the towering giant in a daze.
The path of an adept was so treacherous that most of the adepts present had never actually hoped to make it past that threshold of rising from a First Grade adept to a high-grade adept.
They had dreamt of the moment they would achieve such glorious heights countless times, but their calm and collected adept minds would remind them that this would always remain only a dream!
For these people, just being able to sense the aura of a Second Grade adept at close range was already an invaluable experience. However, they had now personally witnessed the rise of a powerful Second Grade adept!
If they recalled correctly, the owner of the tower, the legendary Flame Demon, seemed to have advanced to adept less than a hundred years ago. Lord Greem had used iron proof to demonstrate that he possessed extraordinary talent and potential by advancing to Second Grade at such a shocking speed.
If he continued at this rate, Third Grade and even Fourth Grade didn’t seem to be that out of reach!
The adepts grew more excited the more they thought about it. The eyes with which they glanced at the flame giant started to possess a trace of respect.
They had become blessed individuals and spoiled children of the plane after they became adepts.
However, only the adepts themselves knew that they were only minor characters in the massive group that was the adepts. No one would truly place significance on them or care for them.
It was this terrifying reality that bred the prideful, extreme, twisted, and resentful personalities of the adepts.
With such emotions bottled in them, the only things that could make them submit, apart from absolute strength and profound knowledge, would be the respect and envy of powerful individuals!
They might have been disdainful towards the idea of being a loyal dog following behind a Second Grade adept. But if it was following a future Great Adept rising to prominence, it was certain that everyone present would beg for the chance to do it.
Unlike these staying adepts, Mary and the other eight tower adepts couldn’t help but gather around Greem. They closed their eyes and silently felt the unique and powerful soul flux belonging to Second Grade adepts. Greem had only just advanced. His Spirit had yet to solidify completely. That was why the phenomenon of his soul’s aura leaking was happening.
Such a rare experience was the experience of a lifetime. If Greem had another two weeks to settle down, the other adepts would have no chance to investigate the secrets of Second Grade adepts.
The staying adepts had no choice but to watch enviously from afar. No one dared to try and get close to Greem like the tower adepts were doing.
After all, no Second Grade adept would allow outsiders to investigate their secrets so freely!
Not even if those people would not be of any threat to them.
In truth, even from a distance, the staying adepts could still vaguely sense Greem’s terrifying and bottomless mental flux, along with that indescribably strange aura.
That was the taste of the planar laws!
The aura of planar laws on a Second Grade adept was undoubtedly denser when compared to them.
In fact, one could even say that a Second Grade adept was no longer the same type of existence as a First Grade adept.
