The second test took longer than the first test. Unlike the first test, where 50% of the examinees spent less than 5 minutes in the test hall, in the second test, 50% of the examinees spent more than 5 minutes in the test hall.
The first test was based on cultivation, so it favored the few examinees from rich and powerful homes who had reached the tenth transformation of the first mortal coil.
The second test tested endurance, so it favored the examinees who had suffered in life. There were many people who had suffered all of their lives compared to those who have experienced little suffering.
So there were more examinees staying longer in the test hall for the second test than in the first test. These examinees occupied the limited test rooms and delayed the testing progress.
