Within minutes, Astron completed the fourth stage exam, landing softly and standing with his usual composed demeanor.
Tianna walked over to him, her voice filled with genuine praise. "Astron, your progress is extraordinary. You've completed the fourth stage with remarkable ease."
Astron nodded, acknowledging her words but staying focused.
Tianna continued, "For most of the trainees here, this would be the end of the course. Most of them are either fighters or mages, and they do not need to go beyond the fourth stage. However, your training goal is to master all seven stages, which means you will be different."
She paused, ensuring Astron was absorbing the gravity of her words. "From now on, you will be in the advanced course. You will learn more advanced techniques for the fifth, sixth, and seventh stages. It will be more challenging, and it's crucial that you keep your focus at all times."
