At the exact moment when Keith entered the viscount layer, Valencia's eyes focused on him. It was not because he was able to enter the viscount layer, instead, his lack of usage of any blood-qi technique during this test made her interested in him.
She was focusing on Anica who was ahead of all the students. She was almost reached halfway into the viscount layer. When she approached the end of the viscount layer, her movement started to slow down.
Valencia was curious as to why this young boy could move inside the viscount layer without using any blood-qi technique even though he was only a final stage baron. Using her senses, she scanned Keith's body and found that he was almost at the viscount stage and his blood core was at the peak of the final stage baron.
