In the inner courtyard of the palace, where the trial artifact was placed, the two robed officers monitored the holographic screen. Although they couldn't see what happened inside the trial, the screen displayed each team's progress.
Most of the kingdom officials had left the courtyard. Only a few with the highest ranks remained. King Huang Ti and Prime Minister Zhu Yao were among those who stayed in the courtyard to follow the progress. Two weeks had passed, and the distinction between the four teams started to show.
"Prince Huang San is in the lead…," Zhu Yao uttered.
"It appears to be so," King Huang Ti remarked.
Huang Ti's words sounded unemotional, but Zhu Yao could see the glint in the king's eyes. Huang Ti was secretly pleased with the result.
