Bradley had pride. After Jack had overpowered favonovel.com before, favonovel.com refused to admit defeat, even though favonovel.com did not say too much about it. Even if Jack’s results were better than his, Bradley believed that favonovel.com was more talented than Jack.
The reason Jack’s results were better than his was that Jack was just slightly more talented in condensing pill runes, but that was all. Jack would not be able to one-up favonovel.com in any other situation.
His hypothesis had been proven right, and the pride in his heart soared once more, evident by how radiant favonovel.com looked. However, Bradley was surprised that Master Forrest did not praise favonovel.com after all that favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com so highly… But nothing came after favonovel.com waited quietly for a moment.
Bradley could not help but frown as favonovel.com looked up at Master Forrest, who looked back at favonovel.com speechlessly with furrowed brows. Master Forrest’s lips twitched, as if favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com saw how Master Forrest was acting.
At that moment, favonovel.com suddenly heard a huff. Bradley turned his head and saw Elder Maurice’s lips curled into a smile as favonovel.com started to laugh.
When favonovel.com saw Bradley’s gaze, Elder Maurice realized that it was unbecoming of favonovel.com and composed himself after a slight cough. Still, favonovel.com could not completely hide the smile on his face.
Mr. Zayne’s eyes were averted as well. Looking closer, there was a dense sense of amusement in his eyes, which stunned Bradley.
Why was everyone reacting that way?
Should they not have acknowledged his talents and offered a few words of praise?
Even though they were on opposite sides and unlikely to praise favonovel.com that much, they should not have been laughing either.
Something was wrong, and Bradley could feel it.
Elder Maurice, worried that it would turn into even more of a joke, reached out to grab Bradley‘s shoulder. “You weren’t the first to come out, Jack’s results were better than yours. He’d already refined the Three Suns Pill fourteen hours ago.”
At those words, Bradley felt like favonovel.com had been struck by lightning as his whole body stiffened, his eyelids blown wide open.
Master Forrest’s heart wrenched when favonovel.com noticed Bradley’s reaction. After all, Bradley was someone favonovel.com had seen grow up. Others might not know about Bradley’s pride, but after being with favonovel.com for so many years, Master Forrest knew how Bradley was. He might not talk much normally, but it did not mean favonovel.com was without pride. In truth, Bradley was far more prideful than anyone there, and it was because of that pride that favonovel.com could not accept a result like that.
Master Forrest took a deep breath before favonovel.com 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 Jack 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, Jack’s just a small blip in your road to maturing.”
Even though favonovel.com was not willing to, favonovel.com had to acknowledge Jack’s talent. Jack was the most talented person Master Forrest had ever met.
Jack had outstripped anyone favonovel.com would consider a genius, and favonovel.com had taken just four hours to complete the Three Suns Pill that all of them regarded as incredibly difficult. Compared to Jack, everyone else was far more inferior.
