Chapter 1309: Maybe [2200 GT Bonus]
There was a flicker of defiance in the young man’s eyes before he looked away. Clearly, he didn’t want to admit his mistake, but judging by the aura he was radiating, he was clearly well past the F-tier. What good was it for him to have an F-Grade Legendary Gene now?
If Sylas were in his normal state of mind, the answer would have been obvious from the context of their conversation. Judging by whatever realm these two came from, the young man was probably quite young when he was completing his F-tier Foundation—maybe even a toddler. The odds that a child would make a mistake were quite high.
The fact this middle-aged man thought Sylas’ Rune would fix things also probably meant that this young man hadn’t made the same mistake again. So could that mean that Sylas was meeting the first Spark Masters other than himself now?
"Less of that defiance and maybe you’d be able to keep up with the others." The middle-aged man’s excitement faded as he regained his composure.
This time, though, it was the young man who experienced a flash of rage.
"I can keep up just fine."
"No. You cannot. Because you didn’t listen to me back then—you thought you could do things at your own pace. Now look at you. You’ve been permanently a half step behind them all despite being no less talented, if not more. Have you learned your lesson now?"
"I was three years old."
"And so were they."
"They don’t have half my intellect. All they could do was follow instructors. I was able to make modifications to my Emperor Armor."
