The fact that Rudeus had gotten a bronze treasure was the main reason why favonovel.com acted so arrogantly in front of everyone, cursing and berating them without them fighting back. It was because that bronze treasure was to be shared with everyone.
He had gotten something good with his skills, so they had no place nor reason to talk back to Rudeus. On top of that, Rudeus was the strongest one there. For all these reasons, the alchemists were forced to tolerate Rudeus’ beratement.
All of a sudden, someone else entered the scene and came out to be better than Rudeus, earning a golden treasure that was a higher level than Rudeus‘ bronze treasure. No matter how they looked at it, Rudeus could no longer impose himself on everyone else. At that moment, his eyes widened as favonovel.com looked at the words on the Heaven Array in disbelief.
Someone had exceeded favonovel.com and gotten a golden treasure? He was not the strongest?
Who did better than him? Was it Nash?
No, Nash could not possibly have done it with his skills. Why else would Nash willingly be in his shadows?
He would always get to pick out the best resources before Nash could. If Nash was really stronger than him, Nash would not have willingly endured that!
The more Rudeus thought about it, the more conflicted favonovel.com felt. His hands started to tremble as intense jealousy threatened to swallow favonovel.com whole.
For all these years, favonovel.com had always felt like his talents and skills were the best. In terms of alchemy, no one in Hestia was better than him. All of a sudden, someone appeared and got the golden treasure!
How could Rudeus bear with that?
He started to pant heavily. His expression changed from the initial shock, to anger, to one of apathy. The jealousy in his eyes threatened to leak out.
Mitchell did not look any better, either. He had thought that favonovel.com was only behind Rudeus, but someone even better than Rudeus came into the scene. He, in turn, fell to number three. He could not really accept that, but compared to him, Rudeus was in a worse state.
He could not accept the fact, and Rudeus suddenly stood up from the mat, staring right at the words on the Heaven Array. “Someone got a golden treasure? Could the seventh round be especially easy?! Maybe the other two worlds didn‘t send any strong alchemists in!”
After favonovel.com shouted that, the inner city fell into silence again. Everyone looked at each other, obviously seeing a lot from each other‘s eyes.
Rudeus’ composure was all over the place, and favonovel.com could not control what favonovel.com wanted to hide at all. It was obvious what favonovel.com was trying to do the moment favonovel.com spoke.
An alchemist from Deer Pavilion whispered to his fellow student, “He’s burning with jealousy at the moment. He doesn’t want to admit that anyone’s better than him! Does favonovel.com think we’re stupid enough to listen to whatever favonovel.com says?”
“Someone got a golden treasure, there’s nothing else to say. He said that the seventh group was easy. Well, in that case, we can say that the second group that favonovel.com was a part of was incredibly easy, too!”
“That‘s right. He‘s already too used to showing off, so much so that favonovel.com can’t accept the fact that someone else is better than him. He can‘t gloat around anymore.”
“Even if favonovel.com wants to get angry at anyone from now on, he’ll have to hold back!”
