Chapter 143 143: Position Cemented!
The Council of Elders' senior members exclaimed, "This is a momentous occasion for our clan. Since the establishment of the Monster Tower, we have not witnessed a member triumph over the clones of all the founders of our clan. His Highness Evan's victory has brought immense honor to our clan. We must etch his remarkable accomplishment in the clan's Hall of Fame!"
"Absolutely, His Highness Evan's feat is truly exceptional, and it will undoubtedly inspire our younger generation to strive for greatness and follow in his footsteps. It deserves a place in the Hall of Fame." The Imperial Frost Court's officials and ministers nodded in agreement.
The crowd looked on in awe at the unprecedented harmony between the Council of Elders and the Imperial Frost Court. It was the first time they had seen the councils and the court come to an agreement on something, and it felt like they were witnessing a miracle.
It was all because of His Highness Evan. Even though he had not yet succeeded the Imperial Lord of Frost, he had already proven himself capable of uniting the various factions of the clan. He had the rare ability to bring people together, inspiring them to set aside their differences and work in harmony towards a common goal. His exceptional leadership skills were truly remarkable.
In front of his charms, the Council of Elders and the Imperial Frost Court were no exception. His Highness Evan's achievement had brought them together, putting aside any differences and conflicts to recognize and honor his remarkable accomplishment.
It was clear that someone like him was a figure with the potential to inspire and lead them towards a bright future.
Meanwhile, Magnus, Evan's father, was feeling incredibly proud of his son. As he watched Evan conquer the clones of the founders of their clan in the Monster Tower, something that had never been accomplished before, Magnus felt an overwhelming sense of joy. He believed that his son had worked hard to achieve this victory and was thrilled to see him succeed. Indeed, Evan had put in a lot of hard work in the past weeks to get as strong as he did, and it was all paying off.
As he watched Evan on the screen, he said, "Well done, my boy!"
As the crowd marveled at the sight of the victorious Highness Evan, Eldrid, the instigator of the previous inheritance war, was also impressed. Eldrid himself had only triumphed in three challenges during the trial of the third floor of the monster floor and had drawn against Ethan, but Evan had astoundingly defeated all five founders. His exceptional performance had earned him the profound respect and admiration of everyone present.
Eldrid couldn't help but remark, "My grandson is nothing short of a colossal monster in the guise of a small pig."
Even someone like him, who had initiated and won the previous imperial frost clan's inheritance war, could no longer deny the talent and strength of his own grandson.
Despite Evan possessing a control-type soul plate, in light of his remarkable achievements, it held no significance whatsoever. His incredible performance had surpassed any limitations that may have been associated with his soul plate, proving that his talent and strength were unmatched. His abilities and achievements were so outstanding that any preconceptions or expectations based on his soul plate were rendered meaningless.
Keldor also expressed his admiration for Evan's extraordinary talents, remarking, "It is clear that he is destined for greatness, and his exceptional abilities would undoubtedly take our clan to new heights. Should we initiate the protection plan and eliminate all those who seek to harm him?"
Eldrid shook his head in disagreement, "No, we should not pamper him like a fragile flower. Cultivators must temper themselves through life and death battles. If we treat him with excessive care, we will not mold a leader, but rather a weakling in need of constant protection. We do not need to eliminate his enemies; instead, we can use them as a means to temper him into a sharp sword. With each challenge he faces, he will become stronger and more skilled, preparing him to take on any future threats to our clan."
Eldrid knew that for Evan to truly become a great leader, he needed to experience challenges and difficulties that would help him grow and mature. As per his life experience, it was through overcoming obstacles that one could become stronger and more capable. Therefore, the best course of action was to let Evan face his enemies and use those experiences to become an even greater asset to the clan.
Countless people were happy to see that Evan had done the impossible. However, there were some who were not pleased with this outcome.
Nicholas was one such individual. He seethed with anger at the thought of all the time, effort, and resources he had invested in the clan, only to be overshadowed by someone he deemed a "mentally ill bastard."
'I can't believe this! After all the years I've dedicated to this clan and the money I've spent roping in people, it's a mentally ill bastard who gains everyone's support! All my hard work has been for nothing. I was supposed to be the one to determine who leads the Frost Clan next. But now, with Evan's victory, all my plans have been foiled.'
Nicholas's face contorted into an expression of pure disdain.
'And it's all because of those bastards. Evan has already passed the trial of the Monster Tower's third floor, yet they're still stuck on the second floor. They will pay for this dearly once the inheritance war ends.'
Matthew and Dante were the targets of Nicholas's wrath as he deemed them incompetent and responsible for Evan's triumph. To Nicholas, their failure to keep Evan in check had allowed him to surpass them, and for this, he promised to punish them like the disobedient dogs they were.
Lastly, Nicholas refused to accept defeat. He was still determined to regain control of the situation no matter what!
