Seeing that all disciples had arrived, the Elder Li indicated for everyone to be quiet.
“You are all disciples recommended by the various powers. Although you all have the recommendation quota, if you want to obtain the Sword Palace’s true recognition, you need to prove it yourself.” Elder Li said.
“Elder Li, what’s the test?” A disciple in the crowd asked.
Every single one of the seventy-two disciples had the battle power of 1st level of Qi Condensation. They all thought themselves to be geniuses, so they looked down on everything else and thought that any sort of test wouldn’t be difficult for them.
“There are a total of three tests. The first one is the Combat Strength Assessment. Did you see the stone monument in the middle of the plaza?” Each person will use their most powerful punch to attack the stone tablet, and the stone tablet will pass if it shines. ” The Elder Li said.
As the Elder Li’s voice fell, some disciples were eager to give it a try.
“The stone tablet shines, you passed the test.” Elder Li said.
It is not important if you are a Qi Refinement Realm disciple, but as long as you have the strength of qi transformation realm, you can still pass the examination.
However, some of these disciples did not specialize in a sword art. There were many different kinds of sword techniques and it was impossible for them to reach the perfect state.
“Alright, let’s begin now.”
Fang Chen chose the most basic sword technique, which was also the first sword technique he learned in Green Edge Sword Sect.
They thought themselves to be geniuses, so they would absolutely not cultivate such a trashy sword technique. To them, it was simply a waste of time.
This was because Elder Li felt that something was amiss.
As an elder of a Divine Wind Sword Mansion, Elder Li had extraordinary strength. Naturally, he knew that there was another realm behind the perfect state, and that was the Minute Subtlety Realm.
Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult for a martial artist to cultivate a cultivation technique to the perfect state level. But fortunately, even if it was difficult, there were martial artists who could reach that level.
However, to cultivate it to the Minute Subtlety, it was too difficult. Even if it was the disciples of the Divine Wind Sword Mansion, out of a hundred, only one would be able to do it.
Of course, there was also a metaplasia behind the Minute Realm.
To them, becoming an official disciple of the Sword Palace was a great honor.
“Brother Fang, you’re amazing.” Yang Hong unknowingly walked to Fang Chen’s side and whispered.
“Didn’t you pass the examination as well?” Fang Chen said disapprovingly.
“Brother Fang, with your talent, you shouldn’t be a nobody.” Yang Hong said while laughing.
Just as Yang Hong was speaking, Elder Li suddenly spoke out.
“Elder, what’s the third test?” Some disciples couldn’t wait any longer and asked.
Elder Li waved his hand to indicate for everyone to be quiet, and then said: “The third test tests the sword talent.”
After Elder Li finished speaking, he pointed to the center of the plaza, where there was a stone monument standing shoulder to shoulder with the fighting strength monument.
“This stone tablet is called the Talent Stele. It’s a stone tablet specially used by the Sword Palace to test the talent of sword cultivators.” The Elder Li said: “The stone tablets have a total of five levels. As long as you can reach the second level, you will pass the examination.”
Hearing Elder Li’s words, many disciples were ready to make a move.
“I’ll go first.”
The first disciple stepped forward, closed his eyes, and placed his hand on the stone tablet. The stone tablet immediately started glowing, and when the light stopped shining, two words appeared on it.
“Grade two sword talent, passed the test.”
Next, second, third … Countless disciples began their tests one by one.
Most of the disciples were only at the second grade, but there were also a few geniuses who had reached the third grade.
To be able to reach the third grade of talent in the way of the sword, even if one’s talent was heaven-defying, in the history of Divine Wind Sword Mansion, the highest talent one could reach was only the fourth grade of talent in the way of the sword.
