Chapter 1949


    Morton’s face turned beet red and he was breathing heavily. He pointed toward Gerald and said,


    "Even though I didn''t light up the fifth light, I''m still stronger than you. My fourth light stayed one


    second longer than yours!"


    Gerald did not take what he said to heart." A mere second longer. Don''t make it sound like you can


    take me out in one punch.


    Even if you’re a little stronger than me, you''re still no match when ites to a real battle. You will


    notst if we really go head to head."


    Gerald had the utmost confidence in his battle experience. Since young, he had followed his elders


    for training and had sparred with many others. He had won some and he had lost some. All these


    experiences had made him who he was today.


    Morton’s childhood waspletely different from Gerald’s. Although he had some sparring


    experience, it paled inparison to Gerald''s. He knew that fact himself. "Don''t try to twist the fact


    that I’m still stronger than you. I’ve earned the right to stomp you to the ground!"


    Gerald nced at him. “Since we both passed the assessment, why don’t we find out who''s really


    stronger in the battle arena?"


    Ambrose frowned. He was not willing to listen to their bickering anymore. He put up his hand to stop


    them. "I don''t care what happens to the two of you but don''t waste other people''s time now. Those


    who haven''t taken the test, pleasee up!"


    The test had been going on for quite a few hours by now. There were only ten or so people left


    including Fane, who still had not taken the test. He was not being coy or anything. He simply


    wanted to see what skills the fighters of the Hestia Continent had to offer.


    Fane looked to his left then to his right and discovered everyone around him had already taken the


    test. He did not dally anymore and walked straight up to the obsidian. To the crowd''s eyes, he was


    neither outstanding nor conspicuous. No one knew who he was since he had just arrived in Hestia


    and it was only natural no one paid any attention to him after the thousands that went before him.


    However, he heard a crisp voice calling his name once he took to the stage.


    "You must be Fane Woods." It was a statement, not a question. Fane raised his head and saw Zeph


    staring at him with a stern expression. An eyebrow shot up and he neither refuted nor confirmed


    Zeph''s words. Zeph took a step toward him and sized him up as if trying to peer into his very soul.


    "You''re not allowed to take the test nor join the Dual Sovereign Pavilion,” said Zeph.

    His words shocked the crowd. Until now, no one had ever been barred from taking the test. Even


    Elder Lee and Ambrose were looking at Zeph with odd expressions on their faces.


    Fane narrowed his eyes. Things quickly became clear in his mind. "Why can''t I take the test? Have I


    broken any rules? No.


    ording to the rules, my age is within the range and I''m in the initial stage of innate level so I fit all


    the requirements. Or are you implying that your ruling is more important than the rules?


    Zeph was puzzled at Fane''s calm demeanor. He seriously thought that Fane would have panicked


    at the turn of the events.
