Life After Prison

Chapter 1925
Half a month later, Severin’s bloodshot eyes were almost completely red, and he had completely taken on the appearance of an
almost deranged individual. For some reason, however, Severin was aglow with
excitement and anticipation, rather than fatigue!
Over the past half month, he had finally achieved his formidable goal of concocting 1,000 different types of pills. Credit was due,
of course, to his unwavering perseverance. Despite the depletion of spiritual power in his energy core, a genuine smile finally
graced Severin’s face.
Just as he completed that milestone, the surroundings underwent a swift and ephemeral transformation. A voice that had last
spoken to him more than six months ago echoed in his ears, “You have passed the assessment and may advance to the sixth
floor.”
After breathing a sigh of relief, felt as if the energy in his body had been sucked dry. He was feeling incredibly weak, and more
than half a year of incessant dedication had taken its toll on him. The constant mental strain had proved to be the most
exhausting ordeal he had ever experienced.
It was particularly challenging to replenish the spiritual power in his energy core, as the reserves within his entire body had all but
depleted. Were it not for his unyielding determination, he might have abandoned the challenge at the Alchemy Tower long ago.
In essence, it was that very determination that ultimately carried him through the fifth floor.
Although he had successfully surmounted this stage, Severin felt no urgency to immediately ascend to the sixth floor. After a
moment’s rest, he rose and stretched his limbs before taking out an energy- restoring pill from his spatial ring. He consumed it,
waited until his spiritual power was nearly replenished, then stood up and proceeded to the sixth level of the Alchemy Tower.
Simultaneously, on the other side, Emery was exhibiting signs of exhaustion from weeks of unrelenting effort. It was most evident
in her bloodshot eyes. After toiling persistently for more than half a month, Emery had elevated her original count of 935 pills to
990. Only ten were left until her assessment was complete and she could progress to the sixth floor.
Unfortunately, a severe depletion of spiritual power and prolonged mental fatigue had left Emery no choice but to withdraw. The
exhaustion of her relentless dedication had taken a toll on her being, and she was no longer as beautiful as she once was.
“I should be able to surpass Severin now,” she thought to herself with a touch of pride. In her tense and fatigued state, she had
drawn on every ounce of strength and overextended her spiritual power to reach

that juncture.
In Emery’s view, it would be a tall order for Severin to overtake her after her achievements despite the
the Alchemy Tower with satisfaction and said, “Your attainment might be remarkable, but alchemy is a
whole different ball game. I am the Sixth Mountain’s prodigy! I might not be able to match Celeste’s
talent, but I will still be able to surpass you!”
She was completely oblivious to Severin’s successful progress at the Alchemy Tower. He had surpassed
Emery in the rankings, officially securing third place on the Alchemy Tower ranking list. Countless
disciples observed Severin’s achievement, noting the impressive a thousand successful recipes behind
his name. There was also a note that he needed a remarkably brief duration of only a hundred and thirty-
five days to clear the fifth floor.
The astounding speed with which Severin had overtaken alchemy prodigy Emery left them wondering if
the sky was the limit for his talent.
