Chapter 1162: A Duel Between Geniuses
After Berold was sent away from the secret realm, only Sein and Grimm remained.
Grimm did not seem particularly concerned about winning or losing. He showed no reaction even when Sein brought out divine relics and the divine blood of a Rank Five creature.
From beginning to end, he remained humble.
Watching Grimm quietly working at his table, Sein suddenly remembered the days when they were still initiates, poring over books together in the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring’s library, learning and exploring truth side by side.
In a way, Grimm was the first “friend” Sein had made after joining the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring.
Perhaps influenced by Grimm, Sein found himself taking a deep breath, slowing his own process, striving to perform every step of his experiment as perfectly as possible.
Berold, the peak demigod mage, had believed Sein was the most likely to take first place. He had barely spared a glance at Grimm, who had remained quietly working at his table the entire time.
Yet Sein had never underestimated him.
In fact, in Sein’s eyes, Grimm’s potential might even surpass his own.
Grimm was from a humble background. He was so ordinary that no one would have spared him a second glance.
He was considered a genius because he had climbed, step by step, from nothing, to reach a level most people could never dream of.
Yet, very few recognized Grimm’s brilliance.
