"The second trial, not passed."
The boy's words were rather arrogant, but they expressed the feelings of many. Even if they give up on this trial, does it mean they can't reach the Fifth Level?
Speaking of passing the entire course, shouldn't it be easy to complete the Fifth Level?
For a moment.
Many people chose to forgo this trial, deciding to take a gamble. This group wasn't small; perhaps about half of them.
The most gamblers in this world aren't in casinos, but in Secret Realms. In Secret Realms that restrict high-level cultivators, those who reach Void Refining and Unification are invariably gamblers, and they are the kind who are quite lucky.
These people believe most in their luck.
And fear least, is a gamble.
This was already a cautious result; otherwise, at least nine out of ten would choose to gamble. More people thought that since it was a Secret Realm spanning continents, it was better to be a bit cautious.
