The sword formation within the sword tower was naturally quite powerful. Some people had already been teleported out of the third level, and it seemed they had crushed the teleportation talisman themselves, as they didn't look too disheveled.
When the two elders saw that the first person to be teleported out was not Ye Xiruo, their expressions immediately turned very ugly. How could this be?
Is it because the quality of this year's recruits has declined, or did one of the supervisors in charge of the assessment go easy on them? It doesn't make sense. A weak alchemist can stay on the third level for so long, while their carefully recruited newcomer, who is known as the swordsman with the strongest attack power, was sent out. If this gets out, won't their Heavenly Sword Sect be laughed to death?
Xiu Qiyu and Ye Liusha were also keeping a close eye on the remaining four red dots among the swordsmen. One of them had already entered the fourth level at an extraordinary speed. If nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely be able to climb to the fifth level.
Little Leaf is definitely still on the third floor.
"You don't need to worry too much, she should know what she's doing," Ye Liusha said, unusually.
"If she knew her place, she shouldn't have gone to the Sword Tower. That's no joke."
"You're too nervous. This is just a sword tower for the assessment, it's better than Sword Mountain, right? We both gained something from it, there's no reason why Xiao Yezi can't improve herself through this, don't worry."
Ye Xiruo was indeed focusing all her attention on finding the way to break the sword formation.
The four sword slaves coordinated perfectly, making it impossible to find a way to defeat them one by one. However, Ye Xi did not gain any advantage, but she did not suffer any loss either.
After Ye Xiruo used the basic sword technique of Saintess Peak repeatedly, it was very different from before. At least its power had increased threefold, and at this rate of evolution, it was likely to break through again. As for the sword technique that Zishu and Xiu Qiyu had taught Ye Xiruo, it was also slowly improving. In short, everything was developing in a positive direction.
Ye Xiruo herself wasn't in a hurry. She was determined to fight the four sword slaves to the death, to see how many variations their sword formations could possibly have. These sword slaves were like puppets, tireless and never stopping. Ye Xiruo chuckled at this.
I have medicine, what am I afraid of?
She carries only top-grade pills; she'll just need to seize the opportunity to take them. She refuses to believe she can't kill this group of sword slaves who have lost all ability to think and judge.
Ye Xiruo's comprehension is considered above average, but her swordsmanship is far from adequate. She has had too little exposure to swordsmanship and has practiced swordsmanship infrequently. If it were another swordsman, they might have quickly absorbed the essence of the sword array emitted by the sword slave and integrated it into their own sword moves, thus elevating themselves to a higher level.
However, for Ye Xiruo, comprehending the sword formations and sword moves of these sword slaves was not difficult; the difficulty lay in absorbing their essence, which required a process for her.
More people have been thrown out—one from the third floor and one from the fourth. Their group is quite strong; besides the three who were thrown out, one person has already reached the fifth floor. It seems they can hold out for a while and won't be thrown out again.
The two elders had very strange expressions on their faces. How could Master Ye Dan still be able to persist? Did he have some miraculous medicine? It has to be said that the two elders were right.
The swordsman on the fifth floor must be the promising talent they had their eye on before—Gu Leng, whose swift swordsmanship is truly breathtaking.
They all guessed that Gu Leng should have a chance to break into the sixth floor, so it was obvious that Ye Xiruo was the one who stayed on the third floor, dawdling around like an unkillable cockroach.
Is the third level really that difficult? It seems difficult for most people, so this young alchemist must be no ordinary person. At this moment, the two elders have already begun to pray that Ye Xiruo will be sent flying out so soon.
Ye Xiruo stayed on the third floor for a long time, until he had made all of the sword slave's sword moves his own, before he used his sword to kill four people.
Although the four sword slaves cooperated perfectly, they were not truly flawless. Moreover, they were only four Nascent Soul cultivators. Even if they formed a sword formation, did they really think they could defy the heavens?
After killing four sword slaves, Ye Xiruo arrived at the fourth level, where six Nascent Soul cultivators were at the mid-stage. Moreover, the sword formation they formed was even more perfect, almost impossible to find any flaws in.
Trapped in the sword formation, if they cannot quickly kill these six sword slaves, they will surely be trapped and die within the formation.
Humans have limited true energy, but those sword slaves never tire.
Come on! Let's treat this as a challenge and test the waters first. If we can solve it using normal methods, that would be best. If we really can't, we can always use mental energy to strangle it.
Besides, there's always a way out, isn't there? At worst, we can activate the teleportation stone and leave this place. Ye Xiruo wasn't putting much pressure on herself.
The outside world was in an uproar. The swordsmen who had been thrown out were still healing with their eyes closed, so they didn't know what had happened. Those who hadn't been tested yet were all stunned. A genius! How could they do something like that?
Without a doubt, the person they were discussing was Ye Xiruo. Having lingered on the third floor for so long, her true energy was probably almost completely depleted; they were hoping Ye Xiruo would be thrown out soon.
Five minutes have passed, and the two little red dots are still jumping.
Ten minutes passed, and Ye Xiruo was still bouncing around on the fourth floor.
Fifteen minutes passed, and the genius swordsman from the fifth floor went straight to the sixth floor. It was utterly disheartening. He was the best swordsman we'd tested so far.
The sixth level is a remarkable achievement for an ordinary newcomer, who is already considered a genius to reach the fourth level. The fact that someone has actually reached the sixth level suggests that this person will undoubtedly become the Son of Heavenly Sword within the next ten years, stirring up a storm in the Blue Ocean.
Compared to the peerless swordsmen who entered the sixth level, Ye Xiruo, this oddball, has also received a lot of attention. How come she hasn't been sent flying yet? How did she manage to do that? Is she a Mahayana cultivator with such abundant true essence that she hasn't run out of it after so long?
The key question is, if someone is a Mahayana cultivator, would they need to stay on the third level for so long?
What they didn't know was that Ye Xiruo stayed on the fourth floor for even longer. After Gu Leng fought a bloody battle for half a day and finally broke through the encirclement to successfully enter the seventh floor, he was killed within a minute and then flew out. Ye Xiruo was still fighting a protracted battle on the fourth floor. Although her hand holding the sword had begun to tremble and her physical strength was constantly decreasing, her eyes were still as bright as stars, and she had no intention of giving up.
