Baiyi was perplexed by the sudden comfort. It seemed like he had been misunderstood. However, the man did not seem to have any ill intentions, so Baiyi could only nod awkwardly.
What happened next was even more miraculous. Every candidate who participated in the certification was comforting and encouraging each other. There were no vulgar scenes of forceful posturing; instead, the atmosphere was warm and friendly. Although it was not a bad thing to be prepared for the worst, it was still a little too lacking in confidence. It was just a Legendary-level certification. No matter how much the Sorcerers Association wanted to limit the passing rate, they could not possibly allow only one or two people to pass, could they?
While Baiyi was deep in thought, it was inevitable that some people would start to talk about him and Joseph.
"That young lad should be the one with the highest chance of passing, right? I asked the examiners, and they said that he did very well in the most crucial stage, and his speed was very fast. "
"Wow! He's that good? That stage still gives me a headache just thinking about it. Is this young lad really that good? "
"But I also heard that he wasn't the one who completed it the best …"
"Not the best? Does that mean there's someone stronger than him? "
"Yeah, that Soul Armature sitting next to him … Damn it! Don't tell me he's really the Church's Hope?"
"How is that possible?! You've seen his Total Mana Assessment, right? It's all green! How could he be Hope? It must be someone with the same name. But this Hope's strength is pretty good too, right? He might not be as good as Hope, but he's not a weakling either. If it weren't for his mana pool being so low … "
Joseph, who was standing beside Baiyi, had also heard the discussion, and his face darkened. He wanted to stand up and defend Baiyi, but he was stopped by Baiyi's outstretched hand.
"Don't mind the details," Baiyi said calmly.
Joseph thought for a moment and sat back down on his chair. "I believe that with Mr. Hope's strength, it's definitely far beyond the Legendary Level. However, the Association's certification rules are quite rigid. If you don't pass a basic test like the total amount of magic power, it could easily affect the other tests."
"Don't worry, don't worry." Baiyi waved his hand, acting like a carefree old man. "I'm not here for the Legendary-level certification anyway."
"Hmm?" Joseph was a little puzzled. Just as he was about to ask, an officer walked in quickly with a few envelopes in his hands. He was in charge of announcing the results. Everyone quieted down, and Joseph didn't dare to ask any more questions.
"My apologies, Grandmasters. I'm late." The officer standing at the front desk of the conference room wiped the sweat off his forehead and spread the colorful envelopes on the table so that everyone present could clearly see that there were a total of five envelopes.
There were only five envelopes, which meant that only five people had passed the previous round of certification. The probability was fifty-fifty, which was neither high nor low. This caused sparks of hope to appear in everyone's eyes. If there was such a high passing rate, they might be able to do it!
"Let's not waste any more of your time. Let's announce the results now." The officer picked up a light blue envelope from the table and read out the contents on the envelope in a loud voice. "Your Excellency, Baron Jean Joseph, congratulations on passing the previous round of certification. This is the next round of certification, which is also the final test. We hope that you will complete it on time according to the requirements in this letter."
"Wow ~" A wave of cheers erupted in the venue, followed by sparse applause. Some of the more knowledgeable people looked at the light blue envelope with envy, secretly lamenting Joseph's good luck. Different colored envelopes represented different types of tasks. For example, the light blue envelope represented an academic task. Usually, the task was to write a thesis and submit it. It was considered the easiest and easiest task.
This meant that not only was Joseph the first to pass, but he was also lucky enough to be given an easy mission. Basically, he had already obtained the certification certificate. "A Legendary-level sorcerer who is not yet 30 years old. Keep up the good work." The officer handed the envelope to Joseph and gave him a few words of encouragement. There was nothing special about it.
Joseph took the envelope from the officer's hand with a little excitement and carefully put it in his inner pocket.
The officer continued to announce the next person who passed. His luck was not as good as Joseph's. He was given a yellow envelope, which represented a combat mission. Usually, it was to kill a few of these types of missions. It was a little hard, a little dangerous, and it took a long time. It was considered the worst. This was also a typical example of being squeezed until the last bit of labor.
Then, two more people passed. They were given a collection mission to cheat money and a teaching mission to squeeze out labor. There was only one black envelope left on the table.
The remaining five people in the hall could not help but feel nervous. This was their last chance! However … What kind of mission was the black envelope? No one had mentioned it before.
However, the officer did not pick up the black envelope. Instead, he announced, "Everyone, the results of this year's Legendary-level certification have been announced. Those who did not pass, please don't be discouraged and keep up the good work. Actually, the certification is not a big deal. Your true strength is the biggest guarantee and reliance … "
'Why does the last sentence sound a little familiar? And it's weird … '
"But, isn't there another black envelope?" Someone questioned.
"This …" The officer picked up the last black envelope and explained, "This is not the Legendary-level certification result …"
Before he could finish, the sorcerers who failed the test began to curse angrily. What they were saying was, 'If it's not the result, why did you put it together? Are you trying to be pretentious? Not rigorous! Unprofessional! Complaint! Complaint! '
"Everyone … This is the result of the Immortal-level certification …" The officer said helplessly.
"What? Immortal-level? "Someone asked in surprise." Someone is participating in the Immortal-level certification? Then why is he with us? "
The people in the hall looked left and right in confusion, whispering to each other. Only Joseph looked at Baiyi with a strange gaze.
"Didn't I tell you? I'm not here to participate in the Legendary-level certification. " Baiyi spread his hands and said calmly. He was not surprised by the result.
The officer saw that Baiyi was finally willing to speak, so he quickly added, "Yes, Master Hope is here to participate in the Immortal-level certification. Since the process is similar, we arranged to do it together."
"What?! That Soul Armature has Immortal-level strength?! But isn't his mana only Master-level?! "
"Didn't you guys say that he's just a fake? How can a fake have Immortal-level strength? "
"This … Immortal-level Soul Armature! That young man beside him is the Soul Armature Practitioner, right? "
Suddenly, the crowd erupted into a cacophony of voices. Many people were questioning Baiyi, and the most common question was, 'Are you really Hope?'
"Everyone! Everyone! Please be quiet. Let me finish reading the results. " The officer raised the black envelope in his hand and said loudly, "This is Master Hope's Immortal-level certification mission. At the same time, it is also Vice President Grant's letter of challenge to you."
The crowd exploded. No one had thought that this black envelope, which no one had ever seen before, represented such a meaning.
"Vice President Grant … That's a Holy-level powerhouse! Why would he suddenly issue a challenge? "
"Looks like this Master Hope is the same Master Hope from the Church. I have no doubt that he has Immortal-level strength, but … why would a Holy-level powerhouse want to challenge him? Is there something between the two of them? "
"The Vice President doesn't lack money or fame, so it shouldn't be a conflict of interest. Could it be … Could it be a relationship?"
"I've heard that Master Hope has a special taste in young girls. Could it be that he has a crush on one of the Vice President's juniors?"
The bystanders were not the only ones who were shocked. Even Baiyi himself was taken aback. He did not expect the Sorcerer's Association to make things difficult for him during the final segment of the tournament. He did not expect them to do something like this.
You're a Holy Spirit powerhouse after all, a renowned Holy Spirit powerhouse and the strongest vice president of the Sorcerers Association. You're famous far and wide, and your strength is probably second only to the president who's obsessed with research that not many people have seen before … Yet, you want to duel me? And in such a way that I can't refuse?
Did I offend him in some way? That can't be right, right? Or did this guy take a liking to one of my precious students? Is it Mia? Or Tisdale? Or Laeticia, Attie, and the others? ' Baiyi had already prepared for the worst. He had asked around about the Vice President, and he heard that he was almost 300 years old, but he still looked young. His body must be in good shape, right? There were also some negative news about him abusing his power to molest female employees.
Doubtfully, Baiyi took the envelope and opened it. Other than the nonsensical words congratulating him on passing the certification, the rest of the content was about the mission. Vice President Grant had proposed a teachable sparring session where both parties would conduct a practical training exercise in front of the students from the advanced course.
The Vice President emphasized the words "practical training" in the letter. It was obvious that it would be an exhibition match, and both parties would stop when necessary.
