PopularNovelChapter 614 Everyone took turns to step forward for the test. The first person channeled their energy into the Netherworld Bell, and it rang out with a deep, resonant sound that seemed to cleanse the mind of distractions and worries.
A few seconds later, it rang again, then fell silent.
"Two rings. You passed!" Irvin announced without much expression.
Although two rings were a passing grade, it generally meant that the person's potential wouldn't be very significant.
The others followed, stepping forward one by one for the test.
"One ring. You failed! "Two rings. You passed! "No ring, no talent! Disqualified..." The results were similar to previous years, with most people getting two rings.
Occasionally, someone would get one ring or none at all. Overall, the passing rate was about 80%.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOver a hundred people were tested quickly, and soon only two were left; Heather and Sebastian. Out of the 104 people tested before them, two had received no rings, 19 had gotten one ring, and the rest had received two rings.
Not a single person had reached three rings, let alone four.
This highlighted just how extraordinary Kaitlyn's five rings were, and showed the terrifying extent of her talent. Many people had hoped they might achieve five or even six rings to stand out. But by now, they all felt nothing but disappointment.
Irvin, too, was visibly disappointed. In previous years, at least two or three people had managed to get three rings, there was not a single one this time.
However, there were still two more people left to test.
"Ms. Knott, please cforward for your test," Irvin called out. He was placing his hopes on Heather, who was known as a prodigy and might reach three rings.
Heather was full of confidence. She stepped up and placed her hand on the Netherworld Bell, then channeled her energy into it.
The bell's melodious chechoed just as everyone had expected. A few seconds later, another chfollowed. Still, no one was surprised.
When the third ring sounded, the crowd erupted in excitement.
"As expected of Ms. Knott! She reached three rings. Impressive!" "There's nothing surprising about it. Ms. Knott has extraordinary talent. Three rings, four rings, even five rings wouldn't be out of the question." Everyone nodded in agreement.
Irvin also nodded with a smile.
Heather raised her head proudly, but she wasn't satisfied with just that. She was still waiting for a fourth ring. However, no matter how long she waited, it never came.
"Mr. Legrand, what's going on? Could this bell be broken?" Heather questioned suspiciously.
Standing nearby, Sebastian couldn't help but chuckle, and the others also struggled to suppress their laughter. After all, the Netherworld Bell had tested many people already; it couldn't be faulty. It simply meant her talent was limited to three rings.
"What are you laughing at?" Heather snapped, glaring angrily at Sebastian.
"I laugh when I want to. What's it to you?" Sebastian replied calmly. By now, he had a rough understanding of his own strength.

Even with all her exceptional talent, Kaitlyn was still far from his level.
Given that his abilities (likely Om surpassed even sof the elders, there was no need for him to hold back anymore. If someone didn't like it, they could deal with it.
"How dare you speak tolike that?" Heather was immediately infuriated.
"This brat is too arrogant! How dare he disrespect Ms. Knott? He's asking for it!" The crowd erupted in ander especially the men present. Whether they were assessment participants or Netherworld Sect apprentices just watching, they all saw Heather as a goddess. Seeing Sebastian disrespect her made them all furious.
Heather gritted her teeth in rage and coldly said to Sebastian, "You'd better pray you pass this test, or I'll make sure you suffer horribly." Sebastian remained indifferent. Before, when he was unsure of his own strength, he had been cautious and restrained.
But now? So what if she was the city lord's daughter? "Ms. Knott, the Netherworld Bell is not faulty. A three-ring talent is already very impressive. Please step down," Irvin said.
Heather finally walked away in anger, but she didn't go far. She wanted to The wanted to see if Sebastian could reach two rings. If he couldn't, she planned to make him pay dearly.
