The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor novel Chapter 2958

Ethan's expression stiffened upon hearing Rudeus' words, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

Not only was the Heaven Array a large transfer array, but it could also transmit a person's image. Without the person being sent over, they could talk to those around the Heaven Array.

This was the power of an ancient array.

Ethan seemed to have been angered by Rudeus' words. Snorting, he retorted, "You speak as if we're that bad. Even though we're not as good as Chaos Continent, we still managed to get golden treasures, and not just one at that. Meanwhile, you're far different.

"You claimed that you're only a bit worse than us. Is that true, though? None of you obtained a single golden treasure yet! Do you really have the right to say such words?"

Those words were definitely a slam on the pride of every alchemist in the inner city. It completely humiliated them, causing Rudeus to shudder in anger.

He had been insulted by Ethan before as well, but Ethan had not been so venomous with his words before. Rudeus came from a ninth-grade clan and received showers of praise from a young age.

Naturally, he was never humiliated before. Worse still,

he had no other words to throw at Ethan, who seemed visibly prideful the moment he brought up golden treasures.

He looked at all of the alchemists from Hestia in disdain. "I'll be part of the seventh group. I don't know who'll be competing against me, but let me warn you: none of you will be getting the top-three spots.

Even though all of them knew that Hestia could not compare to White Marsh Continent, they were not willing to swallow Ethan's words. They felt like Ethan's constant taunts were fueled by his vanity.

They believed that Ethan was not talented enough to make it into the top three spots and merely wanted to mock them to bolster his self-confidence.

Rudeus was seething at this point, his eyes completely red as he felt like he had never been so humiliated before.

On the other hand, Fane lightly sighed. He knew very well that Ethan was not completely wrong. If the situation continued, Hestia might not even be able to muster enough people. After all, Rudeus was standing in front of them, insisting that only skilled and willing alchemists be allowed to participate.
