Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 61

Chapter 61
A week passed by .
News spread as the Royal Family of the Loret Empire, announced the participation of the First Prince in the Grand Sea Continent Meet .
The news brought shame and disappointment to the citizens of the Loret Empire as they were mocked by others for not having a genius cultivator, but have no choice but to rely on a 9-year-old kid to represent them in the Grand Sea Continent Meet .
"Is our Emperor sane? Why is our Emperor sending a 9-year-old kid to participate in that competition?"
"It's not like they have a choice, the Royal Family was almost decimated after all . "
"Last time, it was our Emperor who managed to grab the first place in the Grand Sea Continent Meet . So our Emperor surely has a plan to make that 9-year-old kid get into the Top 200! Right?"
Conversations like this were heard throughout the Empire .
Logan didn't care one bit to explain as he knew that his son would ace the tournament with almost no effort . Instead, he looked forward to the amusing reactions of many people in the tournament a year from now .
But the other Empires didn't think the same, they all thought that Emperor Loret was at his wit's end, so he had no choice but to send his first son to be a laughing stock .
The Grand Sea Continent Meet was also a Competition to show off the strength of their Sky Grade Empires, Sects, and Organizations . They would take it very seriously as this matter contains their honour and pride .
Here, the young elites take this stage very seriously as their fates could change if they were to rank in the Top 200 .
Especially the young elites of the various Sky Grade Empires, took this competition very seriously as it holds a greater meaning and honour for their empires . What they aim for is not the Top 200 but the Top 3 .
. . . .
Logan didn't need to worry about his Empire's safety anymore as the Grand Sea Continent Meet is approaching . Nobody would dare to attack other empires at this time, as they all ceased any conflicts between them till the closing of the continent for the outsiders .
So Logan arranged a Sky Grade Alchemist to teach Davis about Alchemy openly . With Davis's Soul Cultivation, he was positive that Davis wouldn't need much time to learn about Alchemy .
As one's Soul Cultivation increases, the amount of information that they can take in and recall will increase as well . In Davis's case, even if he read a million books, he could still remember it clearly .
And finally, today was the day when that Sky Grade Alchemist would arrive at the Royal Castle .
Davis was anxiously waiting for his new teacher as he wasn't confident about his coo… alchemy skills . He didn't have one neither did he read about one . This was totally a new subject to him . Even in his previous life, his cooking skills were subpar at best .
Even though he was encouraged by his parents now, he was still feeling worried but not nervous .
Davis headed to the throne hall with calm steps . When he got to the throne hall, he saw a middle-aged man greeting his father .
Except for his father and that middle-aged man, no one was there currently in the Throne Hall .
The middle-aged man was almost 6 feet tall, his black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, his face was amiable with calm features which made him easily approachable as he kept a smiling appearance . He wore a normal alchemist robe .
"Hahaha, drop the formalities, Alchemist Highwood . I am very honoured to invite your esteemed self to teach my ignorant son about Alchemy . "
"I'm not even one of the members of Alchemist Association . How could I dare to drop formalities when meeting an Emperor of a Sky Grade Empire?" Alchemist Highwood replied with an indifferent tone .
Logan laughed as he said . "You surely jest, Alchemist Highwood . Everyone knows that you are only second compared to the head of the Alchemist Association . "
"I'm sure you had your own reasons for not joining the Alchemist Association," Logan added .
"That is not a big secret . Everyone knows that the current Alchemist Association is corrupt to its bones . If I entered that, I wouldn't even know where my corpse would be even buried . " Alchemist Highwood replied with a disgusted expression on his eyes .
Alchemist Highwood disdained the ways of the Alchemist Association, their ways were one of tyranny and high handedness .
"Of course, and that's why I don't want my child to be taught by those hypocritical people!" Logan replied in scorn .
" . . . This, Emperor, is it true? About what you said?" Suddenly Alchemist Highwood asked nervously . He didn't dare to believe what Logan said to him when he got invited . To make sure of it, he came in haste .
"It's abs . . . Oh! Looks like my son is here, why don't you ask him yourself, Alchemist Highwood . " Logan laughed figuratively .
"Hmm?" Alchemist Highwood turned his head to see a kid who was almost 5 feet tall approach him . He widened his eyes in shock .
"Mi . . . Mid Level Young Soul Stage!!" Alchemist Highwood stood there like a sculpted statue as he muttered silently .
Davis made no effort to hide his cultivation, so Alchemist Highwood was easily able to see his cultivation .
Alchemist Highwood stayed rooted for a short period of time before his face widened in utter delight .
"The First Prince Davis Loret, was it? I can now see why Emperor Loret decided to make you participate in the Grand Sea Continent Meet!"
Alchemist Highwood sighed, "First, it was Empress Ruth and now you? Young talents are leaving us in the dust like it's none of their business, and that makes me feel so old . . . "
"Prince Davis Loret, please allow me to be your Alchemy teacher!" Alchemist Highwood said as he bowed his head .
Davis who was watching this thought wryly . 'Isn't it supposed to be the opposite?'
"Teacher, there's no need to do that when I'm the one learning from you, this is bad . " Davis awkwardly said .
"That would be the case if I were your Master, but I'm your teacher . In fact, a talent such as you, I'm ashamed to take you in as my direct disciple, I'm not worthy . "
"But teacher, It isn't li . . " Davis saw that Alchemist Highwood wasn't arrogant and instead placed himself below him which made him feel bad .
"You would soon soar the alchemy path like a breeze, so there is no need to call me Master . " Alchemist Highwood smiled and replied as if he didn't mind the seniority .
