Although Abel had confirmed it and his scent was obvious, Master Peter was still stunned out of words.
Master Alfred beside him had his jaw dropped as well. All this time, he had been thinking about how he should comfort Abel after he failed.
The idea of Abel succeeding never even came across his mind. No one had ever broken this level in 1000 years, and Abel did it.
This was not as simple as Abel becoming a Master Alchemist. It was hope for all Elite Alchemists.
Countless elite alchemists had failed during these years, and each impacted the confidence of future elite alchemists. In the end, all of their courage vanished, and becoming a master alchemist had become an impossible task.
Only Elite Alchemists on the verge of death would try to break through since they no longer have anything to lose, and their chance of success even lower.
Abel gave other Elite Alchemists a sense of hope. It was actually possible.
