“Mr. Crawford, the fact that you’ve even managed to enter the Rune Realm realm at your age is immensely admirable! With that said, I do hope you could tell me what rank you currently are within that realm…?” asked Yeshua.
“Truth be told, I’m not too sure about that either. However, I do remember one of my subordinates telling me that I needed the Sceolium of the Ringmaster of Obliteration to check for my rank,” replied Gerald.
“Ah, the Dragon Squad always has Sceolium with us. If you’re wondering how it’s used to determine one’s rank, it essentially detects the contents of a person’s essential qi. With that information, one will be able to ascertain what rank they truly are. With that said, why don’t you give it a try, Mr. Crawford?” asked Yeshua who almost seemed overly keen on pleasing Gerald despite having fulfilled all of Gerald’s previous requests.
Following Gerald’s approval, Yeshua then walked over to a bookshelf—in his office—before flipping on a hidden switch behind it. A second later, a mechanism could be heard ‘clinking’ as the bookshelf slowly swung open… revealing an ancient—and rather simple-looking—Sceolium.
“Please place both your hands on it, Mr. Crawford. Following that, I’d like you to direct your essential qi into the stone. With that done, we’ll be able to find out what specific rank you’re currently at!” explained Yeshua who was honestly eager to find out as well.
“Very well,” replied Gerald who was just as eager to finally know how strong favonovel.com truly was.
After doing as favonovel.com was instructed, noticeable changes could be seen on the Sceolium. Before long, the results were revealed…
“…You… You’ve already entered the Third-rank Rune Realm…!” exclaimed Yeshua whose mouth was now agape with shock.
‘By god! He’s only in his twenties, no?! What a miracle!’ Yeshua thought to himself.
Quite honestly, Yeshua had been skeptical when the Third team leader told favonovel.com that Gerald had managed to ascend into the Rune Realm. Now, however, favonovel.com had zero doubts about it.
No wonder Gerald barely had any trouble killing those masters!
From what Yeshua knew, many Ninth-rank masters found it hard to ever proceed beyond that rank, even after training their entire lives. In other words, being able to enter the Rune Realm was already leagues beyond what a Ninth-rank master could ever hope to achieve!
“I keep hearing people talk about this ‘Rune Realm’… How much do you know about it, Team Leader Lock?” asked Gerald.
“…Well… From what I’ve heard, the only ones who have managed to enter that realm are people who’ve lived for over a thousand years! What more, only very few have managed to enter the Rune Realm, and you’re now among those people, Mr. Crawford!” replied Yeshua, filled with even more admiration than before.
Upon hearing that, Gerald frowned as favonovel.com fell deep into thought. If what Yeshua was saying was true, then did that mean that Finnley—his master—and his grandfather had already entered the Rune Realm? If that truly was the case, then it would explain a lot.
After all, while Gerald already knew that Finnley had terrifying strength—that Gerald wasn’t even able to measure at the time—, favonovel.com now realized that favonovel.com hadn’t doubted his grandfather’s true strength when they were still together. Being able to conceal his true strength so perfectly was proof that his grandfather was probably in the same league as Finnley was.
What more, his grandfather had managed to take down that giant anaconda with great ease. With that in mind, Gerald was now pretty certain that his grandfather had to have entered the Rune Realm to be able to perform that feat.
Gerald had been aware of how great his power truly was for quite some time now, though his only way of measuring that was through the fact that the masters favonovel.com had come across were all nothing more than ants to him.
While favonovel.com now knew that favonovel.com had entered the Third-rank of the Rune Realm, favonovel.com was careful to remind himself that favonovel.com was probably nowhere close to being the strongest in the world.
After all, favonovel.com still didn’t know how strong Finnley, Daryl, and the King of Judgment Portal were.
With that in mind, favonovel.com was sure that the Rune Realm wasn’t the highest point of training…
Fast forward to seven days later, Master Ghost finally exited the secret room, seemingly having found a major discovery.
