It was already the seventh day since the trial began as the sun slowly set over the horizon, showing even the last day was also coming to an end.
The participants were now frantic as those who lost their badges were now more frantic than ever to get it back while those who possess immediately went into hiding to avoid their badge being taken away.

In a small and well hidden cave in a mountain.
A fat boy sat on the ground with legs widespread as he counted the badges in his hands with a large smile on his face.
'Hmm, 30 badges all together. That's enough. I'll just rest here till the trial ends."
Kenji thought as he packed the badges in his pocket before lying down and snoring in the next second.
The cave was properly hidden so he wasn't worried of being discovered.
Although he was supposed to be out there taking badges as he was pretty stronger than most participants, but he was also no fool.
If about 50 Early Star rank stage participants gathered together on him, then there was no way he would be able to win and will end up getting defeated in the end, which means losing all his badges. So for now, it was better to lay low.

Meanwhile, news of the blue eyed monster continue to spread like wildfire among the other participants.
It tells the tale of a blue eyed boy who went on a stealing spree for badges as all were defeated against him, whether individually or in a group.
Those who had their badges stolen were gathering together in large numbers searching for this boy as he holds a large number of badges within him.
Once he was defeated, then they could surely pass the trial due to the large number of badges with him.

Meanwhile on a large tree in the forest...
A young man with raven dark hair sat as his blue eyes stared into the horizon.
Lucian watched in amazement as the orange glow slowly covered up the whole place, making the sights extremely beautiful to watch.
The gentle wind blew around his hair as they scattered around behind him while he himself took continuous deep breath in.
His eyes were of a reminiscing look as he thought about how life had been and slowly changed in about three months.
His gaze were also tinged with a bit of yearning as he desperately wanted for a particular person to see this. A person who had been denied of something so important since birth.
It was his Mia. Lucian knew how hard it is for someone to go blind and not see the sights. That was why he appreciated his ability to see than most. Even though it was only the sun setting over the horizon, it gave him so much comfort watching it as he thought of the person who couldn't even see this beauty.
He quickly jabbed his focus away as he focused back on the trail at hand.
It was a long week and one heck of a trial, but he managed to pull through and even obtained 60 badges.
Out of 200 badges, he managed to obtain almost a third of the entire badges. It was a pretty good number. While he could go and obtain even more. He decided to quit.
He didn't want to gather all the badges to himself alone, at least he left the remaining two thirds so that others could also fight for it. At least if they failed to pass the test, he wouldn't be to blame for ruining their dreams of joining the sect.
His body slowly rested on the tree bark as he stared at the blue sky above.

The rays of the sun slowly pierced through the trial ground as each participants suddenly found their badges lighting up as they immediately disappeared in the next second. teleported out of the trial ground.
Lucian watched as the sixty badges on him suddenly lit up as he felt something like a cloth wrap around him and pulling him into a particular area of the void.
"So it finally ended..." he muttered before disappearing from the place.
The trial to join the Divine Battle Sect successfully came to an end as their respective fate would be decided soon.
