Upon hearing this, the entire crowd was taken aback before a heated discussion erupted.
"Did Fade really comprehend that much martial essence?"
"Could it be true that he comprehended more than half of all that martial essence?"
"There were more than 100 streaks of martial essence coming from the second and third level. If he comprehended more than half of that, that means he comprehended about 60 to 70 streaks!"
Algot was also surprised, but he calmed down soon after.
He glanced at Yura and sighed, before saying, "I didn't know that Fade was on such good terms with Lindsay Hall for Yura to actually come to his defense."
As soon as he finished his words, everyone was stunned for a moment. However, they soon understood what he was implying.
What he meant was that Yura was purposely lying to protect Fade's pride.
With this in mind, many people on the scene immediately nodded their heads and accepted this explanation readily.
Upon seeing this, Halston was both annoyed and furious so he glared at Algot.
Yura frowned as well before opening her mouth to explain herself.
Fade, on the other hand, appeared very calm.
"Whatever they wish to think is entirely up to them. We have nothing to do with it."
"Let's just get on with our own exploration."
Fade then went to the pillar to put his palm onto it. He prepared to break the restriction so that he could go onto the fourth level.
At this, the crowd was taken aback once more. They began pointing fingers at him, their taunting growing louder and crueler.
After all, in the face of Algot's doubts, Fade had not explained anything. Instead, he began to break the restriction without a word. In their eyes, this was seen as an act out of a guilty conscience.
Algot stood among the crowd, his gaze shifting. This was followed by him sharing a look with Baxter, who was standing next to him.
He then immediately walked over to Fade's side, before he too put his palm on the pillar. He started circulating positive energy and began breaking the restriction.
Upon seeing the situation, the crowd grew rowdy.
"Algot wants to break the restriction too. He even stood next to Fade purposely. Are they going to make it a competition?"
"Competition? There's no need for that at all. Algot will definitely win!"
"That may not be the case as the restriction on this level isn't as simple."
"No matter how difficult it is, that guy isn't Algot's match at all."
Upon hearing the comments from the crowd, a proud smile dawned on Algol's face. He glanced at Fade and smirked smugly at him.
Fade ignored him and continued to concentrate on breaking the restriction.
However, after only a short while, Algol rolled his eyes before his right palm that was pressed against the pillar shifted slightly.
It was a small movement and it was difficult to notice unless one was watching him closely.
However, Fade, who was standing right next to Algol, immediately noticed the act.
That was because Algol's small action was to allow his body's positive energy to leak out. Besides, the energy was headed directly towards where Fade's palm was on the pillar.
Fade's breaking of the restriction was instantly interrupted, and he had no choice but to stop his action.
He looked at Algol with cold eyes and asked sternly, "What are you trying to do?"
At this moment, Algol had an innocent look on his face. He widened his eyes as he looked at Fade to ask, "What do you mean by that?"
Fade said in a low voice, "You clearly know what I mean! If you're trying to pick a fight with me, just do it openly. Don't go making all those small movements."
Algot frowned before his face darkened. He said coldly, "Are you crazy? I didn't even touch you. Do you think I'm trying petty tricks on you? Are you trying to frame me?"
