Chapter 737 Four Pillars: The Trial's Fangs
Unsurprisingly, Valyr became confused.
"Huh? What do you mean by that?"
In response, Sven wryly smiled after seeing Valyr's reaction.
"I had a feeling you weren't paying attention to that," said Sven, faintly shaking his head.
"Well, no matter. Everything will make sense as long as you use an identification skill on me."
Though still confused by what Sven meant by his words, Valyr went ahead and did what he was told, using [Superior Analysis] on the man before him.

"Hiss..."
Sucking in a deep breath of cold air, Valyr was left at a complete loss for words as he read through Sven's status screen.
Looking at the man for a bit, a thought gradually surfaced in his mind.
"Why tell me all of this?" asked Valyr with a hint of confusion. "Aren't you supposed to discourage me from going even further?"
Hearing Valyr's questions, Sven nodded in agreement. "Normally, that would indeed be the case."
"However, from what you've shown me thus far, there's no doubt in my mind that you're destined to reach great heights."
"Perhaps not as high as the achievements I've reached, but still great heights," joked the man, letting out a faint chuckle.
"Either way, it would be a waste for a talented youngster like you to delve deeper into the Trial of Nine Stars without even having a clue of what you're up against."
"Think of it as an old geezer just wanting to take care of the younger generation."
Whoosh!
Just as he had uttered those words, the man's body started to gradually become transparent, causing him to look at Valyr with a sad smile.
"Ah. It seems that my time is almost up."
"Then again, it wouldn't make sense for me to stay here any longer with how the first fight is long done."
Watching the man disappear before his very eyes, it went without saying that Valyr had a slightly sad expression on his face.
"Thank you for the information you've shared," said the young man. "Whether it be from the memory or the warning you've just given me, you have my greatest gratitude."
At those words, Sven faintly chuckled. "You're making it seem like we're going to part ways for a very long time."
"Then again, I guess it does seem that way."
Going silent for a bit, Sven started at his continuously disappearing body for a bit before gazing at Valyr.
"Say, before I go... could you tell me your surname?"
"It's Zeihardt." Though he was hesitant at the start, the thought of keeping it to himself had already disappeared from the young man's mind.
"My name is Valyr Zeihardt."
"Zeihardt, huh..." muttered Sven before letting out a faint chuckle.
"To think I'd come across yet another Zeihardt with the potential to change the world..."
Saying those words, it did not take long for Sven to thoroughly disappear, leaving the young man with a feeling of emptiness.
However, it was only after saying a few more words to the young man did he truly disappear.
"Well, young Zeihardt..."
"Though our meeting has been short-lived..."
"This old geezer truly wishes you the very best of luck."
