Chapter 1968: Chapter 1966: Fountain Blessing Sect is Very Happy

Hearing Master’s words, Alice Thompson’s heart sank; she too had ideas about the qualification certificates, and of course, it would be best if she could obtain them.

"Master, since there are a hundred of them, why don’t we go and seize them ourselves? With our power, it should be quite easy to snatch dozens, shouldn’t it?"

Margaret Smith gave a bitter smile and said, "Do you know how many people have reached the One Hundred and Eight-Star Rank since we entered this place?"

Without waiting for Alice Thompson to respond, Margaret Smith directly said, "Fifteen people have reached this level, and even more, over thirty have reached the Hundred-Star Rank. Items soaked in holy energy are very powerful for advancement."

"So many, if that’s the case, our power is too strong!"

"Not only us, other Sects are in the same situation, everyone is advancing very quickly."

"I hadn’t realized everyone had made such great advancements; if that is the case, it indeed seems difficult to snatch the qualification certificates!"

"If it were just competition among the Sects, it would be somewhat easier. The key problem now is the arrival of forces from the Flame Star Region; their power is too great, we’ve suffered countless casualties!"

Are there so many experts in the Flame Star Region?

Alice Thompson really didn’t know about this, and only after asking in detail did she learn that this was a power far greater than their star domain. Half of their Sect’s experts had already died, and those at the One Hundred and Eight-Star Rank had decreased a lot as well.

Originally, Alice Thompson was convinced that only the Sect’s forces could be the strongest. Therefore, as soon as Peter Brown agreed to let her leave, she thought of breaking away from him. After all, no matter how awesome Peter Brown was, he was just one man. She believed that once she returned to the Sect, with the development of Holy Qi Reversal, the Sect would definitely surpass Peter Brown.

However, after arriving here, she realized it wasn’t such a situation. The Sect was powerful and had made great advancements, but an even greater power had now arrived.

"Susan, the Sect Master is calling for a meeting with everyone above One Hundred and Eight-Star Rank," said a master who looked like a middle-aged man as he came in and spoke to Margaret Smith.

Margaret Smith then said to Alice Thompson, "You have now also reached the One Hundred and Eight-Star Rank; you’re an expert in the Sect. Come with your Master to the meeting."

Hearing she could finally attend a core meeting, Alice Thompson was secretly delighted about returning to the Sect, feeling that her decision to return was absolutely the right choice.

When everyone entered the conference room, a glance revealed that there were already eight experts of One Hundred and Eight-Star Rank sitting inside.

Upon looking at Alice Thompson, the Sect Master’s eyes lit up and he said, "Alice has reached One Hundred and Eight-Star Rank as well, excellent."

After everyone sat down, Simon Bailey, the Sect Master of the Fountain Blessing Sect, sighed and said, "As most of you probably know, the current situation is very unfavorable for us. Initially, we also seized five qualification certificates, but our certificates are too conspicuous, impossible to hide. Experts can easily sense the presence of the certificates, and we have already lost three people to murder. Now, only I and the Great Elder have the qualification certificates and are alive."

An Elder spoke solemnly, "The Sects of the Flame Star Region are bullying us too much!"

"It’s not only us in this situation; all Sects are the same. The experts of the Flame Star Region are continuously arriving. They started their Holy Qi Reversal earlier than our world, so their experts naturally far surpass us. If it weren’t for our use of Heaven-Exploding Thunder, sacrificing some of their experts, it’s uncertain whether our Sect would have perished!"

Hearing this, everyone’s faces turned grim once more. The situation really was like this; if it were just based on everyone’s direct confrontation, it was likely that real trouble would have ensued.

"However, that Peter Brown is making too much profit, giving us just one Heaven-Exploding Thunder for three batches of materials; sometimes I really want to rob him!"

Hearing the Elder say this, everyone looked at him, and he blushed and said, "Ah, I was just talking; with so many Heaven-Exploding Thunders, he’s an extremely dangerous person."

"Indeed, that kid is very sinister; no one knows how many more tricks he has. If possible, I suggest it’s best not to provoke him."

Simon Bailey gave a slight smile and said, "We’ve always had a good relationship with him, and moreover, with Gabriella Graham by his side, our Sect is naturally even closer to him. That’s a good thing, after all. Even if we enter the academy, having a good relationship with him would also be beneficial for our Sect."

Hearing everyone discuss Peter Brown, Alice Thompson was somewhat stunned. She had always been convinced that the Sect was the strongest, but from today’s conversation, it was apparent that Peter Brown’s power, even just as an individual, was not weaker than the Sect’s.

"By the way, there is a piece of good news that I must share with everyone, related to Gabriella Graham," Simon Bailey said with a smile.

"What’s the good news?"

"This is what happened: I just received a message from Ken Smith. He’s negotiated with Peter Brown, who agreed to exchange one qualification certificate with us for fifteen Roaring Sky Thunders."

"Sect Master, what does this have to do with us? If all Sects are putting forth certificates, we’ll have to pay a significant price again."

Simon Bailey laughed and said, "You’re mistaken. Do you know what Peter Brown is going to do with that certificate?"

"Yeah, he already has one for himself; he doesn’t lack it. What does he need another for?"

Simon Bailey smiled and said, "Gabriella Graham has clearly gained Peter Brown’s trust. The certificate is exchanged for Gabriella Graham. Peter Brown is really generous, trading fifteen Roaring Sky Thunders for a certificate to give to Gabriella Graham. This was truly unexpected."

"What?"

Everyone was astonished upon hearing this; they all knew the value of fifteen Roaring Sky Thunders—it was equivalent to fifteen Hundred and Twenty-Star Rank experts. Peter Brown was actually using such precious items to please a girl.

Simon Bailey smiled and said, "Gabriella Graham is from our Sect; even if she enters the academy, she is still one of ours. With Peter Brown’s protection, Gabriella’s prospects of entering the academy greatly increase. Hasn’t it occurred to anyone that if Gabriella Graham enters the academy, our Sect gains a significant boost in power?"

"Indeed, it’s surprising that the girl has such a great opportunity. If it were just up to our own Sect, she would have had no chance at all to get a certificate!"

Simon Bailey smiled and said, "Therefore, we support the exchange. Even if we have to spend more resources, we will support it."

Though the Elders were envious after hearing this, when they thought of Gabriella Graham as someone from their Sect, everyone expressed their support.
