Female Novel
Chapter 2678
Chapter 2678 Bradley had pride. After Jackie had overpowered him before, he refused to admit defeat, even thoughhe did not say too much about it. Even if Jackie’s results were better than his, Bradley believed that hewas more talented than Jackie.
The reason Jackie’s results were better than his was that Jackie was just slightly more talented incondensing pill runes, but that was all. Jackie would not be able to one-up him in any other situation.novelbin
His hypothesis had been proven right, and the pride in his heart soared once more, evident by howradiant he looked.
However, Bradley was surprised that Master Forrest did not praise him after all that he said.
Sure, they should not go overboard with the praises and congratulations, but Bradley felt like MasterForrest would have at least said something along the line. After all, Master Forrest regarded him sohighly…but nothing came after he waited quietly for a moment.
Bradley could not help but frown as he looked up at Master Forrest, who looked back at himspeechlessly with furrowed brows. Master Forrest’s lips twitched, as if he had something to say butcould not.
The conflicted expression on his face looked downright uncomfortable.
The curiosity in Bradley’s heart rose even more when he saw how Master Forrest was acting.
At that moment, he suddenly heard a huff.
Bradley turned his head and saw Elder Maurice’s lips curled into a smile as he started to laugh. Whenhe saw Bradley’s gaze, Elder Maurice realized that it was unbecoming of him and composed himselfafter a slight cough.
Still, he could not completely hide the smile on his face.
Mr. Zayne’s eyes were averted as well. Looking closer, there was a dense sense of amusement in hiseyes, which stunned Bradley. Why was everyone reacting that way?
Should they not have acknowledged his talents and offered a few words of praise? Even though theywere on opposite sides and unlikely to praise him that much, they should not have been laughingeither.
Something was wrong, and Bradley could feel it.
Elder Maurice, worried that it would turn into even more of a joke, reached out to grab Bradley’sshoulder. “You weren’t the first to come out; Jackie’s results were better than yours. He’d alreadyrefined the Three Suns Pill fourteen hours ago.”
At those words, Bradley felt like he had been struck by lightning as his whole body
stiffened, his eyelids blown wide open.
Master Forrest’s heart wrenched when he noticed Bradley’s reaction.
After all, Bradley was someone he had grown up with pride. Others might not know about Bradley’spride, but after being with him for so many years, Master Forrest knew how Bradley was. He might nottalk much normally, but it did not mean he was without pride.
In truth, Bradley was far more prideful than anyone there, and it was because of that pride that he couldnot accept a result like that.
Master Forrest took a deep breath before he consoled him, “There’s always a mountain higher, alwayssomeone who’s more talented. Back then, you were too sheltered in an environment. Meeting
someone like Jackie is good, in fact, to broaden your horizons.
“I don’t think he’s more talented than you.
As long as you have enough time, Jackie’s just a small blip in your road to maturing.”
Even though he was not willing to, he had to acknowledge Jackie’s talent. Jackie was the most talentedperson Master Forrest had ever met.
Jackie had outstripped anyone he would consider a master, and he had taken just four hours tocomplete the Three Suns Pill that all of them regarded as incredibly difficult. Compared to Jackie,everyone else was far more inferior.
