Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 779

Chapter 779 The Golden Grove [Ko-Fi Donation Bonus]

There was no surprise that Sylas had failed. The task was to tame the beast, not kill it. If it was just a matter of killing it, considering it started off chained, anyone who was able to make it to the ninth door in the first place would be able to easily handle the task.

However, despite this being the case, there wasn't a single person here who dared to take the word "Failed" at face value. Every single one of them had seen that crown, and they were all aware that the fact that Sylas could even stand before them right this moment was a testament to the kind of talent he was.

The eyes of several hidden figures in the crowd couldn't help but glow.

Sylas was already a prime target after his ranking on the Breath Master leaderboard was made public. The sheer number of Guilds that had tried to solicit him was a testament to that.

But a Rune Master was one thing. A Rune Master with such flexible thinking, fast hands, and sharp senses… that was another thing entirely.

Given the talent Sylas had just displayed, he was very likely to break free of the Breath shackles…

If he hadn't already.

It had to be remembered that only a very small minority managed to reach Breath Mastery in the first place. Over 99% of those that started on the path of Rune Mastery were stuck at Rune Enlightenment and were unable to cross that threshold.

This was why despite Breath Mastery being the lowest tier list available to under-50s, it was still such a shocking matter that Sylas appeared in the top 400 at all.

Of course… these people could have never imagined that Sylas had not only surpassed the Breath bottleneck, but he had surpassed the even more difficult Rune Essence bottleneck and took a step further beyond even it, crossing into Rune Vitality.

Even Sylas didn't understand how shocking this matter was. As for why it was shocking, that was because of one very important fact…

In the whole of the Skai Galaxy…

The number of F-Grade Rune Soul Masters could be counted on two hands. Amongst trillions upon trillions of people, there were less than ten of them total.

As for the number of F-Grade Rune Essence Masters…

There wasn't a single one.

In fact, there wasn't a single under-50 Rune Soul Master. The best under-50 Rune Masters were at the level Ulrik had only just reached: Rune Flesh.

If one took a step back and looked at things from the perspective of the E-Grade, in this entire Skai Galaxy, most of the very best E-Grade Rune Masters weren't even at Rune Flesh, but were instead stuck at Rune Breath—only a handful, not even five, had managed to make it to Rune Flesh.

Those here could never imagine that even though they overestimated Sylas to such an extent, they were still undershooting his value by so much.

One would have to go to neighboring galaxies and maybe take this Galaxy System as a whole before one could find another talent on Sylas' level.

The middle-aged manager-type dabbed his forehead with a handkerchief. The man had red skin and his sweat had a slight sheen of gold to it that made it look like he was beaming lava out from his pores. Even the handkerchief began to smoke, but the manager seemed so flustered that he didn't notice.

When two giants fought, it was the little guy that really got harmed in the end.

Between a young elite and the mysterious figure in the background, he didn't even know what he should do.

"I… this…"

The manager became more and more flustered beneath Sylas' gaze.

Before, Sylas' Will had already been exceptional. But now, he was akin to a towering mountain. Just staring into his eyes could make one feel as though their souls were collapsing. _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}

For someone without even a Flexible Will, meeting Sylas' eyes was simply far too difficult.

The pressure was crushing him.
