Morton had remained standing next to Zeph all this while. At Fane's words, the corners of his lips began to creep up into a mocking smile. "I can't believe this guy is trying to save himself by digging his own grave. He must not be right in the head if he really believes he can light up five lights and get the sengen pill. What a joke!"
"Yeah, he must have knocked his head when he was a baby. Couldn't he use a more normal way to prove his innocence? Does he think he can be the first-place winner? Ptooey! What an idiot!" echoed the crowds.
Even till now, Fane ignored their remarks and remained calm as both Ambrose and Elder Lee stared at him with an odd expression on their faces. Although Elder Lee held the highest position, he was also the one who spoke the least. He chose to quietly observe all that was happening as if he was an outsider in this matter. Fane found his behavior odd but he had more important matters in his hand than to figure out what was going through Elder Lee’s mind. He should make a move since he had been given the green light to take the test.
Once again, he found himself standing in front of the obsidian. He took a deep breath, a bit unsure whether he could light up the fifth light. He did not know the extent of his own power. However, he was sure he would have no problem lighting up four lights and that alone would be enough to give him grounds to go another round with Zeph.
Fane's martial art skills were no ordinary skills for they were at least at the ultimate god status, putting him far above those present. Those elementary red level or yellow premium level martial art skills were nothing compared to his ultimate god status skills. It was a shame he only managed to condense one Soul Sword as a newbie. He closed his eyes, stabilized his mind, and performed a hand seal which immediately caused a black light to shoot out from the middle of his palm.
Even if one were to use their divine senses on the blacklight, they would come away with its unremarkableness. It was near impossible to perceive the energy fluctuations of it. Zeph, who was standing by his side and watching all this quietly, stared at this black light and sneered. Although he agreed to let Fane take the test, he could not help but worry about the outcome. It would be the end of the road for him if Fane really lights up the fifth light.
However, his worries were washed away after seeing the black light.
In all his experience of being an officer of the Dual Sovereign Pavilion, he had seen all kinds of martial art skills, and Fane's skill would not strike fear in anyone's heart. The more powerful a martial art skill is, the higher the energy fluctuation would be. He had never seen a martial art skill with energy fluctuation as weak as the one before his very eyes.
Fane raised his right hand, squinted his eyes, and pushed the Soul Sword forward with all his strength. Immediately, the Soul Sword hit the obsidian like a feather gently floating in the wind. His way of displaying his martial art techniques was for sure different from others. The way he was hitting the obsidian was like tickling it with a feather as if the obsidian was a fragile thing one needed to be careful of. The crowd felt their suspicions had been confirmed-there was really something not quite right with Fane’s mind. Even Ambrose was shaking his head with pity at the poor soul.
The crowd then roared with laughter." What is this? Can you even call that a martial art skill? Is he performing some kind of magic trick? I would be surprised if he even managed to light up one light."
