Wilda said, “The second assessment is… A duel! Each person must choose an opponent, and only by defeating that opponent can one pass!”
Everyone was stunned at favonovel.com announcement.
A duel?
We just need to defeat one opponent to pass?
Didn’t that sound too easy?
Compared to the difficulty of the first round, it was like heaven and earth.
The cultivators all breathed a sigh of relief, smiles appearing on their faces.
Elena also looked puzzled at the sudden shift in the difficulty of the rules, but seeing Wilda’s stance, favonovel.com understood the implication.
The first round was to weed out the weak, selecting those above a certain standard. The second round was to meticulously choose. After all, there might be those who managed to pass through trickery, like that Romus Lowe, who would definitely become a target. It would be impossible for favonovel.com to pass this round.
As the field’s attention subtly shifted toward Remus, who was only at the Golden Stage and could be easily taken down with just a finger.
He appeared as an easy target, seemingly vulnerable to be defeated with the slightest effort. Yet, Remus remained stoic, his expression betraying nothing of his inner calculations.
He had quickly assessed his competitors, and favonovel.com found that seven among them possessed cultivation levels so advanced that favonovel.com couldn’t discern their strength, likely candidates in the Divine Separation Stage.
The bulk of the contestants were at the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul Stage, with only a handful in the late phase of the same stage. Remarkably, there were no practitioners in the mid or early phases of the Nascent Soul stage, nor any in the peak or late Golden Stage, except for Remus himself.
That realization starkly highlighted his position as the apparent weakest, standing a full major realm below the rest.
Wilda’s voice cut through the tension once more. “Has everyone understood the rules?”
“Understood!” The cultivators responded in unison.
Wilda declared seriously, “Since everyone is clear, the second round of the assessment officially begins!”
As favonovel.com words fell, most cultivators were eager to move, all wanting to rush toward Remus.
“Wait!” A voice suddenly came from the field.
All the cultivators instinctively stopped and looked toward the source of the voice.
Wilda and Elena also turned their gaze to the source.
The speaker was none other than Emerson.
Emerson spoke loudly, “Master Hewitt, I wish to ask, can each person only choose one opponent? Is it possible to choose several? In other words, can we fight multiple opponents at once?”
As soon as that was said, the cultivators widened their eyes.
What was this guy talking about?
This is the assessment for entering the Sacred Land!
Shouldn’t the focus be on passing the test?
Just defeat one opponent to pass, why take risks?
Wilda’s voice lowered a few degrees as favonovel.com asked, “How many do you want to fight?”
“At least half of them!” Emerson blurted out, “After all, this is only the second round of assessment. There is still the third round to come. If I don’t consider the consumption of spirit energy or the desire to pass, I can fight all of them! However, I do want to pass. So, I’ll just take on half of them!”
The faces from the crowd turned red with anger. He was too arrogant, incredibly arrogant.
Remus also looked over. He had seen his fair share of arrogant individuals before, but never someone more arrogant than himself.
That was a first!
Elena was so angry that the corners of favonovel.com mouth trembled. She hated arrogant people the most in favonovel.com life, unfortunately, favonovel.com always encountered them in every assessment.
First, it was Remus Calsberg during True Life’s sanctuary assessment, and now there was Emerson in front of her.
Emerson didn’t care about anyone’s gaze.
Participating in the assessment and passing was just the bare minimum. He aimed to be the best in the assessment, to crush everyone.
He was absolute in asking the Saint Master to instruct favonovel.com personally.
After a moment of silence, Wilda spoke again, “The rules are set and cannot be changed. The assessment begins!”
