“You didn’t tell us why you are here. The humans who came to this side of the continent either had dealings with the demons or wanted to sell stuff to use. They always come through the demon gate in the Ancient Battlefield of Parting.
However, as for the last time a human came here, I don’t recall when. So why are you here?” Cyran asked.
Kent had already been made aware of how the other continents treat humans.
Of course, Shax told him if he wanted to stay much longer, then the Half-Elves would be the most welcoming…
Of course, while humans are weak, that was why they were suppressed; Kent never expected to find out that this world isn’t as weak as he had expected.
This made him want to explore it as a human being, regardless of what anyone thought of humans.
So while he waits for the Hand to get their affairs in order, he will find something to keep him going… and since he also needed to defeat the Pill Princess, he had to stay longer and get into the Supreme Immortal Sect.
“Actually, I am here to see if I can get into the Supreme Immortal Sect. Naturally, I would have joined from the human continent, but since the Supreme Immortal Sect doesn’t see the humans as worthy candidates, the only path is to join a different race and try my luck…”
“So you plan on joining the Half-Elves?” Arion asked.
“That is the plan. I don’t know if it would work, but I will try my luck there.”
The three didn’t say anything but chose to ponder what Kent had said. They would be lying if they said Kent doesn’t have what it takes to have a shot at joining the Supreme Immortal Sect.
They came across a few disciples from that sect and, knowing what they saw following Kent, they recognized his talent, which qualified him to be a disciple there.
The only question now, however, was whether the Half-Elves would allow a human to take a spot to enter the Flame Tower.
They just don’t see that happening. It almost felt like Kent wasn’t ideal to represent them. However, he can be a good seed that they can rely on to give a resounding slap to the Elves.
“I have a question,” Helyra asked, her tone sounding like she needed clarification on something. “Are you below 100 years old?
This is a cultivation world where people can disguise themselves, masking their age. However, to qualify for a slot to join the Flame Tower, you must have the Flame Element, be below 100 years, and be at the core formation stage.
You have to know that it’s an open competition, but the ultimate goal is to gain entry into the Supreme Immortal Sect, so do you qualify for all of them?
And before you ask, the answer is yes… if you fake your age, they will know, so be sure not to do that.”
Kent smiled and lit his Chaos Flame. “As you can see, I have a Soul Flame, and, well, I am an alchemist, so perhaps my qualification should be pushed forward already.
Controlling flames is what I do. And for my age, I know it is embarrassing, but I am 21 years old.”
“Wait, are you being serious… 21 years and you have already reached level 3 Core Formation? The last time I checked, only the Pill Princess and the Crystal Prince showed such remarkable talents, each reaching the Core Formation stage at age 50…
So 21 years… this is just…”
“Unbelievable…” Kent smiled. “I know. I could have reached the Core Formation stage faster, but I wasn’t always cultivating, which made some people frustrated. But when I did, which lasted for several days, I managed to reach the Core Formation stage, and they are happy… so it is a win-win for both of us.”
The three Half-Elves could only watch Kent with expressions of shock and confusion. They were shocked because, as three nobodies, they had met a genius like Kent… They would tell their generations to come about this moment.
However, they were confused because his words didn’t make sense. At least they couldn’t gather the context of what he said.
But if they knew the brat was talking about his birthday when he had to go dozens of rounds with his wives, perhaps they would have saluted him, giving him the Man of the Year award.
Kent is not the kind of genius they expected. First, he spoke to them freely, with no hint of arrogance around him. Every question asked was accompanied by a smile, one that made them feel like they could relate to him.
That doesn’t scream the arrogant geniuses who look down on the low-born as if they were nothing. He is a genius, one who has proven himself to them, yet he was engaging in conversations and laughing with them.
If this isn’t something worth being proud of, then perhaps the world is not worth living in.
“We don’t know what awaits you, but we will be happy if you join our kind and help us rise above the Elves. I know for sure, you will be able to make a difference for us,” Helyra, the emotional one, said with a smile.
“Yeah, well… I had planned on doing that, so let’s hope your king accepts me as part of your race. The rest will handle itself from there.”
Kent and the three Half-Elves exited the Flame Valley and started moving toward Elarion.
“By the way, who is the Crystal Prince?” Kent asked as they sped up their movement toward Elarion.
“He is the genius second prince of the Crystal Dragon Race… He joined the Supreme Immortal Sect five years ago and has already become an inner disciple, the last time I heard.
Of course, he isn’t the only genius, but he is popular because he reached the Core Formation stage in 50 years just like the Pill Princess who, from what I know of her, she is both a genius and an arrogant bitch just like her mother.”
‘Clearly, Helyra has something more against the Elves than his two friends,’ Kent smiled, seeing the disgusted expression on Helyra when she spoke about the Elves…
Whatever it was, he planned on finding out… after all, it isn’t healthy to harbour this much hate within you…
