Eternal Thief
chapter-992

At this moment, within the Principal Tower, when the Imperial Teachers were gobsmacked by Evie's peerless advance, a wizened face giant with a slender build, long white beard, and gray hair appeared out of thin air.

He was wearing plain white robes, and despite his presence, no one seemed to have noticed him. His tranquil old eyes were filled with ripples as he looked at Evie on the screen, who was already passing the 70th stair of Heaven Reaching Devil Staircase.

"She really broke the Imperial Crown Prince Carlos's record of this generation!" Everyone exclaimed with emotions.

No one had thought that this day would come when someone other than the Imperial Family would climb all the way up to the 70th step of the Heaven Reaching Devil Staircase.

Even the most outstanding outsiders who have managed to give the imperial family some pressure had only made it up to the 67th step. Yet this record has been finally broken today.

At this moment, two more people entered the hall; one of them was the human who had gone to alert the Vice Principal and Principal, and with him was a giant, masked woman in black robes and a graceful figure.

This mysterious woman was none other than the Vice Principal of the Sky Heart Imperial School, Jenna Skylar, and she also had another status that only the Principal and Ten Imperial Teachers knew.

Jenna's eyes shimmered sharply as she looked at Evie with shock, "Who is this young lady?"

Her bell-like voice drew everyone's attention, and when they saw it was Vice Principal, they quickly bowed respectfully.

The demon reports Evie's information to Jenna.

The strangest part was no one had noticed the old giant floating in the air, not even Jenna. Neither did he seem to pay any attention to any of them, and all his focus was on Evie; it was as if he was a nonchalant ghost.

"When did Gray Shadow Devil Grand Duke Clan have such a talented genius? Why didn't the Imperial Clan alert of it?" Jenna narrowed her eyes dangerously as she looked at Evie, who suddenly stopped at the 73rd step.

But her expression was still calm, and her eyes closed as if she was mulling over something, and there was no trace of any discomfort on her face.

"This…"

No one has an answer for Jenna's question since they all know that any talented genius is to be reported to the imperial clan. If their talent were to the Skylar Clan's liking, they would make that genius part of their clan and provide cultivation resources. But this also means they will be eternally loyal to the Skylar Clan. The Princess of Golden Lion Kingdom was the perfect example.

Since no one knows about Sofia's existence, Riana's talent is rumored to be higher than any youth of the Sky Heart Plains because of her Fantastic Physique, and the very day this was found, the Imperial Family set her marriage with the future Crown Prince of Skylar Clan.

Now, this Evie popped out of nowhere, and her talent seemed to be not any less than Riana's, or she might be even stronger since Riana never joined the Sky Heart Imperial School and climbed the Heaven Reaching Devil Staircase.

Jenna's position was extremely shocking in the Skylar Clan as she was quite displeased with the Gray Shadow Devil Clan for hiding Evie up till now. If they knew about this, they had already arranged another marriage for her with their princes.

This was also the reason the Skylar Clan was able to remain the ruler of Sky Heart Plains all these years.

"Maybe the Grand Duke wanted to give us all a surprise, or if he had the intention to hide Evie, he wouldn't have sent her here or at least warned her to remain low profile." The human imperial teacher behind Jenna smilingly chimed in.

Everyone's eyes glistened; they didn't think of it like this.

Jenna was also startled as this was very possible since this could earn Evie the Skylar Clan's favor quickly, and if her talent even surpassed Riana's, the Skylar Clan might have to consider the Empress position again.

Everyone knows about how astute the Gray Shadow Devil Grand Duke was, and he never showed his true strength. Of the three imperial grand dukes, he was the most mysterious.

"She's moving again. It seemed this wasn't her limit at all." Jenna's eyes shimmered as she looked at Evie, who was starting to move again.

"His Imperial Highness, Mortal Emperor record is 74th step, right? Can she break it?" The devil emotionally muttered as they saw Evie stepping on the 74th step.

However, she didn't stop and directly took another step and then another in succession, and she only stopped when she reached the 81st step!

Absolute silence was lingering, whether they were the observers outside or within the Principal Tower.

The last time some reached the 81st step was over a thousand years ago.

Furthermore, at this moment, a translucent black mist begins to gush out from the 81st step and enshrouded Evie's figure.

Just as everyone was still in shock, Evie took another step forward, and without stopping, she climbed higher and higher, and the translucent black mist around her began to grow a darker shade.

"S-she… she stepped on the 89th step, the same as the First Mortal Emperor!" The old giant woman screamed as if she was seeing a ghost.

Jenna was trembling with a horrifying look in her eyes, 'She can shake our clan's foundation if she has talent like the Ancestor!' She thought as her heart beat wide.

At some point, the old giant floating in the air has vanished.

"She's taking another step! Is this the birth of a peerless prodigy?!"

Everyone's expression was colorful as their hearts were in their mouth as they were witnessing the birth of a legend, and they knew if Evie took this step, the Skylar Clan would lose their peerless position, and the First Mortal Emperor would no longer be synonym with invincibility.

"Should we stop her?" The old giant woman from the Skylar Clan muttered.

Jenna coldly berated, "Do you think you can stop the Heaven Reaching Devil Staircase? Not even the Principal can intervene with someone taking the trial. Besides, do you want to give everyone the impression that the Skylar Clan is petty and afraid of a little girl?"

The old giant woman sheepishly lowered her head with a blush as she just blurted whatever came to her mind because of her shock.

'We need to control her or get rid of her.' Despite her righteous display, Jenna's hands were clenched in agitation.

At this moment, Evie finally steps on the 90th step, and the translucent mist around her becomes completely black, and no one can see Evie's figure anymore. She was like a dark silhouette!
