However, he found them rather unfathomable now.
Not only did he create three records in the academy, but he also created another three records in the empire!
Not only did he create three records in the academy, but he also created another three records in the empire.
Now, that was impressive.
He’d actually created so many records!
Moreover, judging from the statue’s location, Adolf Holman was probably someone from 20,000 years ago and belonged to the same era as Ol’ Amos. This meant that those records he’d created had been maintained all this time over the last 20,000 years with no one breaking them.
What was the meaning of ‘unprecedented’? This was it!
Meng Lei developed a strong interest in such an amazing figure at once. He asked, “Ol’ President, do you know this person named Adolf Holman?”
“He’s my disciple!” Ol’ Amos replied, “My only disciple!”
“So, he’s your disciple!”
Ol’ Amos had been the academy president back then. Since Adolf had such wonderful talent, it was very normal that Ol’ Amos would take him in as his disciple.
Ol’ Amos sighed as he said, “Adolf was only 9 years old when he enrolled in the academy, but he possessed all-elemental superior-grade affinities, which was the first of its kind in history. This could be said to be a record never before seen in history and never to appear again!”
“All-elemental superior-grade affinities?”
Meng Lei was taken aback. “What kind of body constitution is that?”
“You know the ten elements of magic, right? All-elemental means that he possesses elemental affinity for all ten magic elements. In addition, all ten of his elemental affinities were... superior-grade!” replied Ol’ Amos slowly in a deep, low voice.
“S-superior-grade for... T-ten elements?”
Meng Lei jerked fiercely, almost wetting himself in trepidation.
Oh my goodness!
Earth, water, wind, fire, wood, metal, thunder, light, dark, and ice!
Superior-grade for all of them!?
Hiss!
He was actually that scary!?

Meng Lei considered his own magic talent excellent. With three superior-grade elemental affinities—thunder, fire, and wood—and a high-grade earth-elemental affinity, while it might not be the best in the world, few could compare.
Yet someone even more outstanding than him had emerged before him.
Superior-grade for all ten elemental affinities.
“How can anyone possibly have such crazy magic talent?” asked Meng Lei, who found it absolutely unbelievable.
“That’s why Adolf is hailed as the most talented person in the academy’s history. Even as of now, there’s no one that can surpass him.”
With a soft sigh, Ol’ Amos said, “It’s exactly because he had an incomparable magic talent that Adolf’s speed of cultivation was extremely fast.
“He broke through to Sixth-Grade Magician and applied for graduation in just a year after he enrolled in the academy. Then, he wandered about the continent by himself and embarked on an even more glorious and stunning life.
“He became an Eighth-Grade Great Magician at 17 years old, a Ninth-Grade Great Magician at 25, and successfully broke through to Saint Domain at 38!”
Ol’ Amos said softly, “During those times, Adolf was like the blazing sun high up in the sky that lit up the entire era. It’s no exaggeration to say that it was the misery of all geniuses and monsters to be born in the same era as Adolf. He crushed everyone so badly that none of them could even raise their heads.”
“That’s so impressive!”
Meng Lei couldn’t help but be astounded, too. However, what was more puzzling to him was that Ol’ Amos’ tone didn’t sound quite right. Was that self-mockery? And a bitter smile?
He voiced the question in his mind. “Shouldn’t you be very proud to have such a disciple, Ol’ President?”
“If what came after hadn’t happened, I would indeed have been very proud. And in truth, before that incident, Adolf had always been my pride and joy, and I was very proud of him.”
Ol’ Amos let out a sigh, a wry smile all over his face.
A bewildered Meng Lei asked, “That incident?”
“In the 148th year after Adolf attained the Saint Domain realm, tens of thousands of Abyss Demons suddenly appeared in Heaven’s Vault Continent.” Ol’ Amos’ voice was full of grief as he went on. “Bloodthirsty and savage, Abyss Demons are innately cruel and brutal and live by slaughtering and massacring others. They are the very embodiment of death and evil themselves.”
“Abyss Demons?” A huge jolt went through Meng Lei!
“Nobody knows where the Abyss Demons came from, but they started a huge massacre after they showed up.
“Countless lives died in misery! Innumerable races were wiped out! And even the four great empires were under threat! Thus, a war that engulfed the whole continent and all the races on it broke out.
“After a long period of strife, we finally came close to achieving victory in the war. However, just as it reached the most critical final showdown in the war, Adolf... He betrayed us!”
A look of affliction surfaced on Ol’ Amos’ face as he said, “He ignited and blew up 1,358 mage towers, killing close to 1,000 Saint Domain Magicians and destroying the joint army’s line of defense. This caused the final showdown to ultimately end as a failure.”
“Why did that happen?” Meng Lei was in disbelief. “Why did Adolf betray you? What good did it do him to do that?”
“I couldn’t understand why in the beginning, either.” Ol’ Amos shook his head, “It was only after we defeated the Abyss Demons later on and captured Adolf that we learned the reason for his actions.”
“Why did he do that?” asked Meng Lei.
“Because Adolf himself was a devil!” Ol’ Amos shut his eyes and explained, “As it turned out, he was a
