Hearing that Yuan wanted to proceed to the next trial immediately after completing his second left the other participants feeling weak and inadequate, as they themselves still needed time to recover.
The Holy Sword King could only grit his teeth in frustration as he glared at Yuan, still reeling from the shock of learning that Yuan was ranked first, above even the Heavenly Son, a figure he could only dream of surpassing.
'There's no way he's completed two trials while I'd just finished my first! He must be cheating somehow!' The Holy Sword King scowled inwardly, racking his brain for an explanation, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't think of a single way Yuan might have cheated.
In the end, he decided to let the others investigate instead, confident that he wasn't the only one harboring such suspicions.
