As the golden smoke circulated around the Golden Dew Platform, things turned so silent that one could hear a pin drop.

Those fortunate enough to obtain a seat quietly absorbed the golden smoke as they experienced their resonances improving.

In the blink of an eye, half a day had gone by. 

The ones who awoke first were those on the greenstone mats. The amount of golden smoke they had received was also the least and thus they finished it the most quickly.

But the resonant power fluctuations coming from them had undergone a transformation that allowed them to shed their original resonance grades.

However, none of them had high-grade resonances in the first place—the majority only had sixth or seventh-grades. Perhaps most of them were already at the cusp of evolving their resonances, and thus the Golden Dew Platform was the last push required to cross that chasm, allowing their grades to rise. 

The difficulty...
