The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor novel Chapter 2678

Bradley had pride. After Fane had overpowered him before, he refused to admit defeat, even though he did not say too much about it. Even if Fane's results were better than his, Bradley believed that he was more talented than Fane.

The reason Fane's results were better than his was that Fane was just slightly more talented in condensing pill runes, but that was all. Fane would not be able to one-up him in any other situation.

His hypothesis had been proven right, and the pride in his heart soared once more, evident by how radiant he looked.

However, Bradley was surprised that Master Forrest did not praise him after all that he said.

Sure, they should not go overboard with the praises and congratulations, but Bradley felt like Master Forrest would have at least said something along the line. After all, Master Forrest regarded him so highly... but nothing came after he waited quietly for a moment.

Bradley could not help but frown as he looked up at Master Forrest, who looked back at him speechlessly with furrowed brows. Master Forrest's lips twitched, as if he had something to say but could not.

The conflicted expression on his face looked

downright uncomfortable.

The curiosity in Bradley's heart rose even more when he saw how Master Forrest was acting.

At that moment, he suddenly heard a huff.

Bradley turned his head and saw Elder Maurice's lips curled into a smile as he started to laugh. When he saw Bradley's gaze, Elder Maurice realized that it was unbecoming of him and composed himself after a slight cough.

Still, he could not completely hide the smile on his face.

After all, Bradley was someone he had seen grow up. Others might not know about Bradley's pride, but after being with him for so many years, Master Forrest knew how Bradley was. He might not talk much normally, but it did not mean he was without pride.

In truth, Bradley was far more prideful than anyone there, and it was because of that pride that he could not accept a result like that.

Master Forrest took a deep breath before he consoled him, "There's always a mountain higher, always someone who's more talented. Back then, you were too sheltered in an environment. Meeting someone like Fane is good, in fact, to broaden your horizons.

"I don't think he's more talented than you. As long as you have enough time, Fane's just a small blip in your road to maturing."

Even though he was not willing to, he had to acknowledge Fane’s talent. Fane was the most talented person Master Forrest had ever met.

Fane had outstripped anyone he would consider a genius, and he had taken just four hours to complete the Three Suns Pill that all of them regarded as incredibly difficult. Compared to Fane, everyone else was far more inferior.
