Chapter 2318 I Will Be Waiting At The Top Of The Mountain
“In a way, Levi should thank The Cardinal Hall for everything. We only did it for his daughter’s sake, but it was undeniable that it was our Elders who got him the cure,” added Edmund with a smile.
“That’s true. We thank you on behalf of our boss,” said the others.
“Since The Cardinal Hall is the one responsible for getting it, I should hold on to it.”
Edmund snatched the new material from Phoenix.
“But…”
Everyone thought that something seemed off, but they couldn’t quite put their finger on it.
In the end, Edmund left with the new material.
He took it to do some research, but he was working for Erudia anyway, so the others let it go.
That being said, Azure Dragon and the others soon noticed that the people working for Garrison Industry seemed to be avoiding them.
It’s like they’re singling us out and are trying to take our power away until, little by little, our positions become nothing but empty shells.
Aside from that, life had been peaceful.
Levi continued training as he investigated and tried to locate the Lab of Gods.
Fifteen days later, Zoey recovered and emerged.
Her combat prowess got her onto the Divine Leaderboard.
Zoey then became the reason the Divine Leaderboard had to be updated regularly.
She made it so that there was a change on the list every day.
One month later, she was ranked as one of the top one hundred fighters on the Divine Leaderboard.
Levi’s position also changed.
After he supposedly got cured of the Maya Industries’ chemical, his combat prowess increased as well.
He rose from below eight thousand on the Provisional Leaderboard to slightly below six thousand on the same list.
“Not bad, boss. You’ve improved by quite a lot and surpassed over two thousand fighters. If things keep progressing this way, you will make it to the Divine Leaderboard soon!”
Everyone was pleased.
The fact that Levi had surpassed that many fighters meant that he truly had worked long and hard.
He didn’t let us down.
Naturally, that level of improvement was nothing compared to Zoey’s progress.
It might even be right to say that Levi’s improvement was sh*t.
After all, the difference in speed was too great. It was like comparing the speed of a child on a tricycle against the speed of a pilot on a jet.
In less than two months, Zoey went from someone who wasn’t even in the Provisional Leaderboard to one of the top one hundred fighters on the Divine Leaderboard.
That level of improvement was simply too much… and perhaps a little terrifying.
Naturally, Zoey was delighted to see that Levi had improved as well.
“Keep going and take it slow. I believe in you, and I’m sure you’ll make it to the Divine Leaderboard, eventually. I will be waiting for you to challenge me at the top of the mountain. Remember our deal. We still have one month to go,” said Zoey with a smile.
The truth was that Zoey was actually disappointed.
She had hoped that Levi would improve quickly and put pressure on her.
That way, they could encourage each other to improve.
Unfortunately, nothing of the sort happened. Their difference was simply too great.
At first, Zoey thought that Levi could at least make it to the top one thousand on the Provisional Leaderboard, but he didn’t manage to put any pressure on her at all…
It was as if he was a piece of useless trash.
At that moment, Levi could no longer inspire her to work harder.
Hence, Zoey’s only source of inspiration was Forlevia.
The mother-daughter duo fought once, and Zoey was still slightly weaker than Forlevia.
Zoey wanted to be at the top with Forlevia, anyway. They would have to wait for Levi to make it slowly to the top, though.
I would settle for someone mediocre, but I honestly don’t need him anymore.
Azure Dragon and the others went to Levi with heavy hearts.
“Boss, we might be praising you, but you should still see the truth.”
“We know that the Lopez and Black families have stolen all the technique books we gave you. We also know that you have been using the older techniques to train.”
“Unfortunately… Well, you see it too, right? The old methods aren’t working well. You’re still on the Provisional Leaderboard, whereas Zoey, who has been using the new methods, has risen to the top one hundred. She wasn’t even a fighter back then. It is clear that the new method is working better.”
“It also means that the traditional methods were superseded. It can’t possibly compete against the new methods.”
