Another point that made things easier for Liam was the fact that there was no direct competition between the examinees. Unlike Demon Gate, where only one individual could get their new certification in the promotion exams, in the association's posts around the continent, everyone who met certain requirements passed the exams.
There was a competition between who went best and who was the best of those in contention, something that was normal at any event where there was room for comparison. But when Liam was involved in the first of the exam tests, showing off his fourth realm cultivation, naturally none of the other competitors wanted to vie with him.
