" You might find the final round unfair, But this is the method arranged by one of the Ancestors. Even if you are not in the top 10, You will gain benefits, so nobody needs to feel disheartened for not being selected.

"

n

" Now follow me.

"

nThe 50 students were bewildered after hearing about the details of the Final Round, but they still followed the middle-aged man who appeared in front of them after they descended.

nWhile following, Athan thought, ' I wonder if I will be selected by that method? Up until now, My training has been a bit different than normal people's. '

nBut he felt that there was no use thinking about it, so he just followed the middle-aged man along with other students while seeing the scenery around them.

nAfter arriving here, Athan's energy Seas became full in just two minutes. The atmosphere looked like one was in heaven to the how-to energize one feels just by breathing the air here.

nThe ground was filled with patches of grass, and there were no trees or plants seen around.

nAfter they walked for a while, The middle-aged man stopped and pointed his hand at the ground.

nA flash appeared, and the ground started to tremble before they all descended with the ground and appeared in an underground cave.

n*Woahhh*

nThe students were surprised to see the scenery in the underground.

nThe cave was vast, and the most eye-catching things were colorful lights that were flying around.

n

" Follow me.

"

nThe students snapped out of their reverie and followed the middle-aged to a path inside the cave.

nAfter walking for a while, They arrived in what seemed like a hall, and in the middle of the hall was a throne that was surrounded by a border made from some kind of materials.

nThe middle-aged man looked at everyone and said,

" After I call out your name, Move forward and stand in front of the throne.

"

nAfter saying this, The man started walking towards the throne.

nAthan saw that the man stopped before standing in front of their throne and did something with his hand before bowing.

nRight at that moment, A slight tremor spread across the cave, and a blinding light appeared.

nThe source of that light was the throne.

nAfter a few seconds, everyone could see clearly.

nAthan looked in the front and saw someone sitting on the throne.

nThat being didn't seem to have any flesh, and it looked like it was formed from energy because of the glow excluded by him

/her.

nThe being's gender could not be recognized due to the colorful lights of energies dancing around his

/her.

nThe middle-aged man who had already returned to where the students were standing spoke,

" Athan.

"

nHearing his name being called out, Athan started moving towards the throne with nervousness.

nBut while he was walking, The black whirlpool inside him suddenly released a dense amount of black clouds as they wrapped around his energy seas, crystals, and whole mystic realm.

nInside the black Whirpool, Mimi snorted cutely and muttered,

" humph, Guardian Brother doesn't require testing and strengthening from the likes of you.

"

nOutside, Athan noticed the changes inside his body, but he couldn't do anything now.

nHe soon arrived in front of the throne and finally saw the face of the being.

n' WTF.....' He tried his best not to change his expression and just stood there.

nThis being had no human face and instead had a face that resembled a human and animal mix. It had a pointy nose which looks weird, but the ears were white and looked fluffy. There was also a slight white fur on both sides of his cheeks.

nAfter a second, The colorful lights surrounded Athan, and he felt as if countless ants were crawling over him.

nThis went on for five seconds before the lights returned to the being.

nSeeing this, The middle-aged man's expression changed for the time as a surprised expression that was filled with confusion appeared on his face.

nAthan returned upon hearing the middle-aged man's voice, and he called out Avelia's name next.

nIn Avelia's case, The colorful lights surrounded her for whole 10 minutes before they returned to the being.

nHe was a bit surprised, but when he saw that other students also stayed for a long time wrapped around by the colorful lights, A doubt sprouted inside him, ' Could it be due to the black whirlpool? what did it do? '

nHe had a bad feeling about this, but he suppressed them and waited for the result.

nThe middle-aged man said that They would be tested according to the method arranged by one of the ancestors, but they were not provided any details about how they would be tested.

nFinally, the last student also returned, and the being that appeared on the throne disappeared along with the colorful lights.

nThe middle-aged man went to the Throne and picked up a white tablet made from rocks before saying.

nTen student's facial features were drawn on the tablet.

n

" I will now call out the names of the 10 students who will be allowed to train in the blessed land for 1 month while those who are not selected can also train for a month in this Legendary Sector. During this month, You are free to move anywhere you want. You might even get lucky and encounter good fortune.

"

nEveryone became nervous hearing him as they were still bewildered on how the top 10 students will be selected.

nThey also remembered what he said before arriving here, That they might find this round a bit unfair.

nThe middle-aged man then called out names.

n

" Avelia

"

n

" Yahan

"

n

" Ruthren

"

n

" Kinessa

"

n

" Remo

"

n

" Qinji

"

n

" Uresuel

"

n

" Gerato

"

n

" Inklem

"

n

" And....

"

nAll students whose names were not called out held their breath and prayed that the last name was theirs.

nAthan shook his head and smiled bitterly as he knew that his name would not appear and indeed...

n

" Catherin

"

nAvelia was most stunned as she couldn't believe that Athan's name was not called out.

nShe hesitated for a second but decided to speak up,

" Could there be any mistake in the results?

"

nHearing her, The middle-aged man frowned and looked at her before speaking,

" There is definitely no mistake in the results. The being that appeared just now tested your natural talent and potential and also strengthened your foundation before choosing the ten students.

"

nShe was going to speak again but noticed Athan looking at her while shaking his head with a faint smile.

nAvelia turned silent for a second, but she spoke with a resolute face,

" I would like to give my spot to someone else.

"

n

" Not possible, Only chosen students can practice in the blessed land.

"

nThe middle-aged cruelly refused with a cold voice.

nAthan frowned and spoke towards Avelia,

" Avelia, You don't need to worry about me.

" Pausing here, A confident smile appeared on his face, and he said,

" Do you think I won't reach the top if I don't practice in blessed land? I thought you knew me already.

"

nAvelia was stunned hearing that before a wry smile formed on her face,

" Indeed, You will surpass us in these six months even if you just practice anywhere.

"

nHearing her words, The students were speechless.

nOne of the top ten students who looked like a middle-aged man snorted and said,

" Now that's some big talk. If you want to praise your boyfriend, then do it at home. It sounds bull ** if you speak such ridiculous things in front of everyone.

"

nSome students started laughing as they also felt that what Avelia said was too ridiculous.

nThe middle-aged suddenly interjected them in a loud voice,

" The ten of you, Stay here while I escort these forty students to the surface.

"

nAvelia and others nodded as the middle-aged man led the group of forty students to the surface.

n...

nAfter returning to the surface, The middle-aged man said,

" The forty of you can move anywhere and can either practice or just roam the lands. You also don't have to worry about danger here, and as I said, You might also encounter some good fortune, so Good luck.

"

nHe then returned while the forty students started to scatter in different directions with excited faces.

nEven though they didn't win the seat in the top 10, They were still allowed to stay in Legendary Sector.

nAthan also flew away in a random direction.

nHe was indeed disappointed that he was not selected, and it was due to the black whirlpool.

n' Sigh...What's the deal with this black whirlpool? '

nShortly after flying in the same direction, He saw actually spotted a small grass hut.

n

" Ehh...Could someone be living here?

"

nWith curiosity on his face, Athan descended and observed the hut.

nHe spread his Mystic Force there to sense if there was something, but he didn't sense anything.

nThough for some reason, His mystic force could not go inside the hut.

n

" Should I go in or not?

"

nAthan muttered and fell into thought.

nAfter a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought, ' Wait, Could it be one of the good fortune mentioned by that middle-aged man? '

nWith slight nervousness, He started walking towards the hut...
