"Even if he's a little talented, there's no way he can get a golden token. You're only so confident because you don't know what a golden token actually represents!"
He said those words in an incredibly firm and convincing manner. Even the white-robed man who had been silent the whole time nodded along. After being in the outer city for some amount of time, he knew very well what a golden token represented.
Only those whose talents and skills stood at the peak could get a golden token. He had seen countless alchemists take the outer city test. All of them had been incredibly confident as they took the test. Most of them had only obtained gray or bronze tokens.
There had only been two people who ever managed to get the golden tokens. The white-robed man had heard about the two of them. It was just like Gent had said, they were no ordinary people.
One of them came from Phoenix Valley's inner valley, while the other came from a ninth-grade clan. Those were incredibly talented people. Who did Fane think he was? Pondering about that, the white-robed man shook his head, feeling like Rudy was being overconfident.
Samuel snorted as he shrugged and said to Gent," There's no point saying all of that, this guy won't listen to a single thing.
"He has complete blind faith in Fane. He feels that Fane would definitely be able to get a golden token, becoming only the third person to do so."
After saying that, Samuel let out a mocking laugh. The alchemists from the Compass Pavilion behind him all let out similar laughs as well.
They were all mocking Rudy for his ignorance. After they started laughing, the alchemists of the Unbreaking Pavilion started to laugh as well. Some of them did so in incredibly exaggerated manners.
Mark raised his eyebrows and did not hold back as he guffawed right at Rudy. Rudy merely frowned, not really affected by their laughter.
At that moment, Rudy was incredibly calm. It was as if nothing around him could affect Rudy at all. He suddenly understood why Fane always had a cold look on.
No matter what happened outside, Fane would not let it affect him. It was not that Fane was cold, but because he was determined and had enough confidence. No matter how much others laughed at him, he still kept calm.
Suddenly, some rustlings could be heard from afar. Everyone was familiar with the sound of those mechanisms. It was a sign that the barrier was giving out. Everyone turned to look, and Fane's figure appeared in front of the alchemists again.
At that moment, his back was incredibly straight, as if it was not that hard at all. Rudy took a deep breath as he walked toward Fane. A light slowly formed from the condensing plate.
Everyone looked on as a golden token shot out of the condensing plate, landing in Fane's palm. Fane raised an eyebrow as he opened his hand to look at the token.
The golden token had the words 'high-tier stall' written on it. It was actually incredibly simple, but there was a sense of majesty toward it that was hard to beat.
The test earlier had been nothing to Fane. As long as he had skills that were above a seventh-grade alchemist, he would have been able to finish the test perfectly. Fane let out a sigh of relief, having been affected by Gent's earlier words.
