Chapter 331 Evaluation Of Prince



Upon seeing that the prince did not display any arrogance after performing so well, the look of admiration on Elder Rilda's face deepened.

"I did not realise previously why peak master was always feeling regretful after you chose Alchemic Rune Peak, but I now have an idea why." Elder Rilda sighed.

"From what you have shown me, your future achievements shall undoubtedly surpass Sith Wiggins. Looks like soon there may once again be a ranker from Alchemic Rune Peak." Her words showed how highly she thought of the prince.

Elder Rilda had not tried to hide her praise, and it was naturally heard by numerous disciples in the vicinity, causing an uproar to rise.

They never imagined that Elder Rilda would have such a high evaluation of the prince. To think that she would say that his future achievements will surpass Sith Wiggins!

Who was Sith? He was the most outstanding disciple in their generation, one with Grade-8 martial spirit and the ranker of inner mountains! Let alone the Spirit Devouring Mountain, he was well known even in both Shiyan Continent.

In comparison, the prince was obviously not on the same level. His origin was from this remote continent.

"What nonsense!" Aily felt the most insulted by the elder's words, but could not possibly openly rebuke the latter. However, she still coldly snorted. "What kind of genius did you think Sith is? How can Ezra ever compare?

Although he does have some ability, a single lucky ablution does not mean anything. When Sith entered the outer mountains back then, it only took him half a year to become a diamond belt disciple, and even stood amongst the top 10 rankers a year later! His rise was the fastest in the history of the Spirit Devouring Mountain!

Elder Rilda's appraisal of him being able to stand taller than senior brother Sith in the future based on the Divine Spirit Ablution alone will not convince anyone."

The other disciples around her secretly nodded. Even they felt that the elder was being a little too quick in her judgement.

Ezra may have indeed taken everyone's breaths away this time, but saying he could match Sith Wiggins based on this alone was still an exaggeration. After all, everyone knew how remarkable Sith was, and every disciple of this generation had absolute respect towards him. With just this little achievement alone, it was impossible for Ezra to match up. Sith was excellent in every field while Ezra has only shown his talent in Mountain Duct, hidden from the eyes of the public, the majority believed that he did something underhanded. However, some were amazed by the prince and clapped for him.

While the mountains were abuzz with noise, Ezra's expression remained unchanged, no happiness visible from the elder's overboard acknowledgement of his abilities. He merely cupped his fists together towards her before leaping off the altar and returning to the mountain he had been on before.

In the wake of the prince's withdrawal, everyone knew that the Divine Spirit Ablution was finally over.

On a certain mountain in the distance, Ella's eyes rippled faintly as she watched Ezra Zephyr jump off the altar. "Will you be able to defeat Sith in the future?

Although I am somewhat doubtful, I do hope that you truly have that talent. If so, our Spirit Devouring Mountain will no longer be boring in the future.

Show me whether you will turn out to be a hidden wolf who will hunt any and everything or someone who will fade away into mediocrity..."

Ella's eyes returned to calmness as her gorgeous face regained its frosty look. She stepped on spiritual energy as she flew into the sky and swiftly disappeared into the horizon, the owners of the many adoring gazes on her letting out a long sigh as they watched her leave.

After Ella left, Wilson and Govrin did not remain either and also departed. However, they took one last look at the prince before they left. All of the other disciples across the mountains also began to leave.

Aily's lips curled downwards as she glanced in the prince's direction. "Ezra, don't let it get to your head just because you were under the limelight in the Divine Spirit Ablution. The quarter match between your faction and our faction is soon approaching, and if your performance then is lacklustre, the high praise Elder Rilda gave you today will only end up humiliating you even further."

The smile on Aily's face was quite the gloating one. Elder Rilda's words had clearly raised Ezra Zephyr's reputation, making even more people turn their attention to him.

If the prince's performance did not do justice to her evaluation, one could imagine the sneers that would follow. She waved her hand and led her other fellow disciples away.

Aily, who was once hoping for Ezra to wash her faction has now become someone who hates Ezra. Just because he was overshadowing her first love. The naive girl was unaware of how dangerous and inauspicious the path she had taken was.

"Junior brother Ezra, we should get going too." Said Mubarak.

The prince smiled and nodded. He could naturally sense the various feelings behind the gazes that had looked at him before they left but remained unfazed despite them, feeling no indignation due to their scepticism and doubt.

He knew that only strength would truly gain would crush their insignificant existence, and no appraisal would be more convincing.

That's why, the diamond quarter they would contest for in the upcoming quarter match was definitely going to be his.

***

It was to no one's surprise that news of Ezra Zephyr's 8 paths of ablution caused quite a stir when it spread to Alchemic Rune Peak. The disciples from all two factions were too shocked to say anything, unable to believe the news.

It was, after all, a little inconceivable. A 1000 feet duct beast had strength comparable to the 1st level for the Foundation Establishment stage, and there was absolutely no way that Ezra would be able to kill one given his current strength.

However, no matter how sceptical and doubtful they were, Ezra's 8 paths of ablution were a fact. No matter how envious the numerous were, there was nothing they could do.

When this matter spread to Elder Lo's ears, the stern elder could not stop joy from bubbling up in him. He even heavily praised Ezra Zephyr during the morning lesson that day and looked at the latter with eyes filled with even more expectation than before.

Ever since the prince had joined them, Elder Lo had been pleasantly surprised far too many times.
