The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor - Chapter 1943
It was no wonder the Dual Sovereign Pavilion was facing a shortage of rooms. This test would bring
in three hundred or more new disciples and coupled that with the existing disciples, there would be
a total of a thousand disciples.
However, Fane knew that these three hundred new disciples might be sent to battle and who knew
by then how many of them would come back alive. The higher-ups in the Dual Sovereign Pavilion
were not stupid. They of course had their own plans.
Initially, Morton planned to be the second to last assessee but he could not wait anymore as time
ticked by. Many of the people present were overly ambitious and thought they would be able to
perform well in the test and forever have their heroic act imprinted in others’ minds. However, the
truth could not be further than that.
Even those that managed to pass the test never lit up beyond the three lights. Those who managed
to light up the fourth light were in the minority. Even so, the latter group was regarded as a genius
amongst all geniuses, and the crowd could not help but sigh with admiration.
“I thought I would pass the test for sure but I’ve only managed to light up two lights with the second
one being lit up for only five seconds. I’m even worse than the first young man. I’ve highly
underestimated the Dual Sovereign Pavilion’s test”
The man standing next to him was shaking his head because he did not pass the test as well. “I
wonder if there’s anyone amongst us who could light up the fifth light. It must be very difficult to do
that. If not they would not have given out the
sengen pill as a reward for doing that. I fear amongst the three thousand people
present here, no one would be able to do it.”
“No one? Are you sure? What about Morton and Gerald?”
The discussion became even more lively as everyone started to guess whether Morton or Gerald
could light up five lights. At the beginning of the test when they still had no idea how the obsidian
worked, they were confident both Morton and Gerald could easily light up five lights and be
rewarded a sengen pill each, but now they were not
so sure. After all, they had first-hand experiei the test. “The two of them must be under a lot of
pressure. Out of three thousand of us, only four or five managed to light up the fourth light for two
seconds. That’s still a long way from lighting up five lights,” said someone in a low voice.

The crowd immediately nodded in agreement. “It’s not that I don’t think they’re strong. It’s just that
the obsidian requires so much power! I still think they will get a better result than all of us here but
it’s impossible for them to light up five lights.”
“I think so too! It’s too difficult. I bet they never plan to give out the sengen pill and only want to whet
our appetite with it.”
Although the discussion was conducted in nearly a whisper, Morton and Gerald could still hear what
they were saying with their extremely good hearing. Morton had always hated it when other people
doubted him. He had set the goal of lighting up five lights. Even after all this while, he still believed
he could do it.
