The man in charge standing beside the Black Steel Pillar watched Huang Xiao turn and leave, feeling rather bewildered. Wasn't he making a fool of him?
"Hey, if you don't take the test, the rules leave me no choice but to mark you as 'failed,'" the man called after Huang Xiao.
"I've already left a mark. See for yourself whether I passed." Huang Xiao waved a hand casually.
"Huh?" The man's face filled with confusion at those words.
Still, he curiously inspected the Black Steel Pillar beside him. Since the other party claimed to have left a mark, he wanted to see whether it was true.
He hadn't seen Huang Xiao make a move just now, which left him thoroughly puzzled.
He also knew that this young fellow certainly had sufficient strength. After all, he was an outstanding figure among the younger generation. But if he couldn't leave a mark three inches deep or more on the Black Steel Pillar, he would still mark Huang Xiao as having failed.
"Where is it?" He examined it, only to find the Black Steel Pillar completely intact. There wasn't any mark at all, not even a handprint.
That fellow seemed to pat it here, didn't he? With that thought, he reached out and felt the spot where Huang Xiao had patted the Black Steel Pillar.
It was smooth and perfectly even, without the slightest indentation. There was no need even to touch it; he could tell just by looking that there was nothing wrong with the Black Steel Pillar.
Was he really making a fool of me? A flicker of anger rose in the man's heart.
Just as he was about to declare Huang Xiao's failure, he suddenly heard cries of surprise from around him.
"Hm? Ah?" He stared dumbfounded at the sight
