Yvonne's body slid down the ground. With her original cultivation and physiques, she, of course, didn't experience much damage. The greatest wound was to her pride. Never had she expected that if they met blow for blow, at the same level, she could no longer receive one move from Konrad.

　　Even if all the deities of the universe told her that such a thing would one day happen to her, she wouldn't believe it. But now, it did.

　　Her eyes rose to meet Konrad, who observed her with a distant look.

　　"I'd expected you to be gloating by now."

　　In normal days, Konrad would indeed feel proud and elated. However, today, he realized all his achievements were not that startling after all. He didn't just lack experience; his foundation still was insufficient. Having seen his father firsthand, Konrad could easily feel the abysmal gaps standing between them.

　　It wasn't just a difference in cultivation. Talroth gave the impression that he was born supreme. Be it in const.i.tution or bloodline, he stood at the peak of the multiverse.

　　But what about him?

　　Growth, he needed to grow at the fastest pace so that when he one day reached the higher realms, he could trample all talents beneath his heels!

　　So that one day, no Overlord could impose any trial on him!

　　That across the multiverse, only Konrad stood supreme!

　　And although his current achievements were insufficient, the road started here.

　　"Nothing worth mentioning. I will gloat when I can oppress you at full strength."

　　He replied with a smile.

　　Yvonne was satisfied. Right now, Konrad was still at the stage of "diamond in the rough" only when he fully polished himself and fulfilled his potential could he afford to look down on the world. Before that, all show of arrogance showcased immaturity.

　　If she had half this level of clear-headedness back then, the current her would be much different. At the same time, picturing Konrad's future achievement, her mind overflew with expectations. After all, in the Ancient Crystal World's history, even among those that initially descended from the higher realms, no one managed to obtain twelve Supreme Meridians in any Transcendent Level.

　　Konrad's unrivaled cultivation road now truly began.

　　"You're still far from that level."

　　Yvonne replied while returning to her seat. Without further ado, she summoned four new bottles, pus.h.i.+ng two toward Konrad while keeping two for herself.

　　Seeing those two new bottles, Konrad's eyes widened in disbelief.

　　"You surely are generous. Are you sure you've not already fallen for me?"
