“Using the means of a Divine level expert to solve that of another Divine level expert, it’s no wonder that Hoult was able to reach the fifth level.”

“It’s not a surprise that Hoult is first this time around. After all, he has strong support behind him.”

In the front, hearing Hoult’s words, disappointment flashed past Devitt’s face. “Since it concerns the Astral Ancestor’s martial secrets, it’s not something we can probe into.” He turned toward the door and said, “Who’s next?”

Anderson walked out. When he saw Governor Devitt’s face filled with expectation, he pouted and walked up, directly revealing two circles of light.

With Hoult’s the stimulation from earlier, the crowd was calmer toward Anderson’s performance. However, they were still jealous of his achievements.

Devitt nodded in satisfaction. Although Anderson did not perform as well as Hoult, Hoult was the grand disciple of a Divine level expert. It was understandable for his results to be a bit lower than Hoult’s. His performance was commendable as it was.

“Good, good, good. You’ve comprehended the third level of the mysteries. This performance is already only seen once in ten years. This is really good.”

The young, golden-haired lady next to Lilia sneered, saying, “Fang Xingjian can’t even compare to Anderson and you want to compare him with Hoult? You really don’t know any better.”

Lilia was so angry that her face had flushed crimson. However, the facts were placed right before her and gave her nothing to say.

After Anderson came down, Wei Leng went up next, revealing a first circle of light, then a second one, showing that he had reached the third level.

“Hahahaha.” Devitt laughed out and said, “We aren’t going to lack in successors for our Great Western Region. This year, you guys are truly great talents, outshining each other. However, since both you and Anderson have reached the third level, the two of you can tie for second place.”

After all, the rankings in this stage did not affect the final rankings. The ranking for the top ten of the Regional Selection was to be decided by the arena battle in the final stage. Therefore, no one had any objections.

“Fang Xingjian should be next?”

“Didn’t you hear? The examinees were told to come out in terms of the levels they had reached. The later they come out, the lower the level.”

Tresia’s Xiu Yi stood amongst the crowd, looking at the door’s direction in jest, “Hmph, Windstorm Sword Hero? In the end, you can’t even be compared to the other three, despite having attained Heaven’s Perception…”

Before he finished his words, Manny walked out from the doors, revealing two circles of light.

Devitt praised Manny, but he still could not stop his brows from furrowing together.

The reason was very simple. Since Manny came out before Fang Xingjian, did that not mean that Fang Xingjian, whom was thought well of by many of them, was not only surpassed by the three seeds, Hoult, Anderson, and Wei Leng, but also Manny?

Following, Rota and the others took their turns to come out and receive Devitt’s commendations. Seeing that so many of them had comprehended the martial arts on the Pantheon Monument, Devitt’s smile was dazzling. However, he still let out a sigh in his heart.

It was because even though people who had only reached the first level had come out, Fang Xingjian was still inside. Did that not mean that Fang Xingjian was below them?

Finally, another Knight walked out from the door. It was an examinee who had not managed to comprehend even the first level of the Pantheon Monument. Under the gaze of the four examiners, he started to blurt out his explication as well as the things he had thought of, hoping to let the examiners rate him through those.
