The third light lit up for a second but no matter what that was enough for him to pass the test. Ambrose’s voice rang across the crowd once more, "Third light one second. Please stand behind me so I can put down your registration later."
"Thank you organizer!" said Beardie, grinning from ear to ear as he went to stand behind Ambrose. The crowd was looking at him with envy and all the doubts they had about him disappeared completely. However, the cocky expression on the big man's face made them wish they could slap the smirk out of his face with their own hands.
Power was everything in this world and the big man had used his strength to prove that he could pass the test. That alone made him stronger than most of the people present. However, a young man who was standing in front of Fane was still unconvinced of the big man's power. "Why are you acting so proud? The third light lit up for only one second. You've barely passed the test! You’re acting as if you lit up the fourth light!"
Beardie turned his gaze toward the young man. The young man did not bother to hide his cultivation and Beardie could easily sense that he was at the final stage of the acquired level. He stroked his beard and laughed. "And here I thought it was some strong man making a fuss down there. But it was merely a fighter of the final stage of the acquired level. What rights do you have to doubt me, a fighter at the initial stage of innate level and the person who had passed the test"
I'm at this level because I'm still young. I'm sure by the time I'm at your level, I'll definitely be stronger than you,” said the young man roughly.
Beardie laughed again and his eyes filled with derision. "You can say whatever you want, but then again, I can also say I’ll become invincible once I progress to another level!"
The young man turned purple with rage and green veins were popping out from his forehead. He gritted his teeth and started to walk toward Beardie but was stopped by those around him. The organizers turned a blind eye to all that was happening before them. They chalked it down to the young man's immaturity.
The organizers' behavior was different from what Fane expected. He had always thought the organizers would not allow anyone to cause trouble during the test. It
was already weird enough the three organizers did not stop the fight but it seemed as if they were wishing for this kind of incident to happen. Fane started to wonder if they were harboring any ulterior motives.
The fight only started to die down when the third person took the stage. The test went smoothly from there on and nothing of interest happened. Out of five hundred participants, only one managed to light up the fourth light. Fane was not in a rush to take the test and he had been patiently doing maths in his head.
Out of five hundred participants, about forty to fifty people passed the test meaning to say out of the total three thousand participants, there would only be around three hundred of them left in the end. Although the percentage of ten percent seemed low, in the end, there really were only three hundred of them who would be recruited into the Dual Sovereign Pavilion.
