Chapter 1031 Spirits Soar
Mary arrived at Kerslin Castle seven days later, accompanied by Meryl and Emelia.
She started complaining the moment she saw Greem.
“Why do things keep happenings? Things have only just been getting stable for the last ten years, and now a tournament like this suddenly pops up? Do those old fools have nothing better to do than to give out free resources to you?”
Greem smiled and interrupted Mary’s rant. If these words were to fall into the ears of those Fourth Grade adepts, trouble would be coming her way.
“Why are you so angry if you already know that their intention is to give me resources?”
“Hmph! Don’t let your guard down. I heard all sorts of things on my way here. None of those three opponents of yours are pushovers. Every one of them is the best of the best among Third Grade adepts!” Mary said concernedly.
“Yes, Teacher, you must be careful! I keep having a feeling that there’s a conspiracy behind the Association’s invitation!” Meryl was also frowning. She was behaving more and more like the fire dragon adept that she was now. Every word that came out of her mouth and every action that she made usually carried a trace of unquestionable confidence.
“Lord Fügen, you had better stop mentioning him so much! This place isn’t the clan headquarters. If someone hears you…” Adept Keoghan warned worriedly. He was still as cautious as ever before.
“What are you so scared of!” Adept Fügen looked furious. “It doesn’t matter how fast he’s climbed the ladder. He still has to stand behind our Lady Sanazar. Have you not heard of the rankings that the adepts have put together? Our Lady Sanazar is ranked second, while that guy is only ranked third. Hmph! Traitor!”
This ranking was also something that only recently appeared.
To most people’s understanding, there weren’t very many characters who could reach peak Third Grade, to begin with. As such, Gallow, Sanazar, and Dante were the absolute elites among the Third Grade adepts and firmly took up the top three positions.
Unfortunately, with the meteoric rise of this legendary fire adept, three powerhouses became four powerhouses, and the poor medium adept was forced out of the top three and fell to the fourth rank. This ranking reflected the most likely candidate to take the victory in this tournament.
One had to admit that Scarface Gallow, who represented the Dener Clan and led the elite Bloody Spear Army, held as much of a reputation throughout Zhentarim as Greem did. It was only because Greem had defeated Fourth Grade Body-Refining Adept Declan with the aid of a Fourth Grade war machine that he had managed to take away Gallow’s fame and spotlight.
However, there was no room for the fire adept to cheat in this tournament. He was ranked third by the more free-spirited adepts after they had compiled all the essential information on the participants.
Naturally, ranked in first was Scarface Gallow, who had established his reputation for several hundreds of years now!
He was a powerful adept who had spent his years in foreign planes, and who had personally killed an otherworldly Fallen Emperor. These Fallen Emperors might not compare to the adepts of the World of Adepts, but they were still powerful Fourth Grade undead beings.
It was this incredibly fortunate and coincidental slaying of a Fallen Emperor that bestowed upon Adept Gallow an incredibly powerful Undying Body. Over seventy percent of his power came from this Undying Body of his.
Ranked second was the Tyrant Adept, Sanazar of the Sarubo Clan.
She had inherited the strange bloodline of the Flying Venom Dragon and could transform into a mighty dragon during battle. She not only had incredible Physique and excellent magical resistance but fearsome poison as well.
As such, an ordinary Third Grade adept was hardly the opponent of Sanazar after her transformation.
In third was Legendary Fire Adept Greem, a unique existence whose legendary tales were endless.
It was his miraculous rise that had set several unreachable records within the Central Region.
It was said that this Adept Greem had only taken two hundred years to attain his current power since his advancement to First Grade!
Two hundred years might be a long time for ordinary humans, but it was hardly anything for adepts.
Two hundred years. That much time was perhaps only enough for an ordinary adept to reach advanced First Grade, yet Adept Greem had climbed to the peak of Third Grade.
