The two elders were filled with mixed emotions and prayed.
However, the results of the first day were clearly disappointing to the two elders, as no one was able to surpass Ye Xiruo's record.
It was getting late, and the assessment could obviously not continue. The two elders waved their hands and decided that today's assessment would end here and continue tomorrow.
While Ye Xiruo was resting in the divine carriage, the two elders sent men to guard her side, ensuring her safety. Of course, the two Mahayana peak elders who had come to protect Ye Xiruo were also hidden nearby, protecting her.
Xiu Qiyu desperately wanted to rush in and see how Xiao Yezi was doing, but Ye Liusha blocked her way.
"Remember, why did Xiao Yezi hide her identity and change her appearance? You two are strangers now. If you go in like this, what will the Heavenly Sword Sect think of you?"
"I was being presumptuous."
"Don't worry, Xiao Yezi will be fine. All you need to do tomorrow is make a name for yourself."
Ye Liusha dragged Xiu Qiyu away, while Ye Xiruo was still silently healing her wounds in the divine chariot.
Those swordsmen who had been thrown out of the Sword Tower earlier were now standing there with their eyes closed, healing their wounds. The image of being hacked to death and having their flesh and blood flying everywhere kept replaying in their minds, which was truly a terrifying torment.
Time passed quickly, and the next morning the remaining swordsmen gathered again at the foot of the sword tower to draw lots to determine the order in which they would enter the tower.
Xiu Qiyu drew the number four, indicating that he was in the fourth wave to enter the Sword Tower. Ye Liusha drew the number seven, which means that their assessments will be completed in one day.
Of the first fifteen people, one made it to the sixth floor, held out for fifteen minutes, and was then ejected; his performance was quite good. Three people were ejected from the fifth floor.
The two elders nodded. It seemed that Ye Xiruo had had some effect after all; at least everyone's performance today was much better than yesterday.
Soon it was Xiu Qiyu's turn. Xiu Qiyu had performed very well in the previous tests. He was so young, so good-looking, and most importantly, he had a chilling aura that made people not dare to approach within two meters of him. His swordsmanship was also superb.
Everyone is conflicted. They both hope that Xiu Qiyu can unleash her full power and break Ye Xiruo's record, and they also hope that Xiu Qiyu won't perform too well. After all, jealousy is human nature.
Unfortunately, Xiu Qiyu entered the Sword Tower today with a belly full of anger. The scene of Xiao Yezi being thrown out yesterday kept flashing before his eyes, and Xiu Qiyu's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
The first floor, the second floor, the third floor—almost without any pauses—in a little over three minutes, Xiu Qiyu had already appeared on the fourth floor.
Below is a group of swordsmen. Σ(°△°|||)︴, without a doubt, this must be that pervert Xiu Qiyu. Who else but Xiu Qiyu would do something so depraved? It's simply not giving anyone a chance to live.
Compared to Ye Xiruo's final outburst, everyone is now praying that Xiu Qiyu will overexert himself at the beginning and run out of steam at the end, getting sent flying.
Unfortunately, Xiu Qiyu was destined to disappoint them.
Xiu Qiyu didn't take very long to pass through the fourth level, about five minutes, before reaching the fifth level, then the sixth, and then the seventh.
Xiu Qiyu regarded these sword slaves as enemies, so he showed no mercy. His Shadowless Sword almost turned into a phantom, and the sword slaves' sword formations could not exert their maximum attack power. They were simply scattered by Xiu Qiyu, and then they were unilaterally tortured and killed by Xiu Qiyu. The scene was incredibly satisfying.
Xiu Qiyu's speed is truly heaven-defying; it's clear that he's unstoppable, without the slightest hint of strain.
Therefore, the two elders immediately started thinking. Why did the young alchemist of Haoqi Pavilion insist on challenging the Sword Tower? It was to prove his strength. If, looking around, none of the newcomers this year surpassed the young alchemist's achievements, the young alchemist might be very disappointed with the entire Tianjian Sect and give up on signing contracts with the newcomers of Tianjian Sect, and go to other sects to find a protector.
Now that someone finally has a chance to break the record set by the young alchemist, the two elders are very excited.
The young alchemist is quite capable, so she will definitely choose newcomers with both strength and potential. Xiu Qiyu has a great advantage, and hopefully she will take a liking to the young alchemist.
It would be best to build a good relationship with the junior alchemist and the Haoqi Pavilion. Don't underestimate them just because they are sword cultivators. Sword cultivators also lack pills, especially high-grade ones. Having money and spiritual herbs isn't enough; you need connections and to find a reliable alchemist to refine pills. That's extremely difficult.
In recent years, the swordsmen of the Heavenly Sword Sect have been ripped off quite badly. They were given inferior goods, overpriced items, and their time was delayed. It's infuriating to think about it.
Half an hour later, Xiu Qiyu appeared on the seventh floor. What gave Ye Xiruo a huge headache was a sword slave in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but Xiu Qiyu didn't find it difficult.
His white figure moved freely through the sword formation, and before long, it seemed that the control of the entire sword formation had shifted to Xiu Qiyu.
Instead of rushing to kill the dozen or so sword slaves, Xiu Qiyu kept fighting with the ten sword slaves with his Shadowless Sword, constantly absorbing and comprehending the essence of these sword moves and the changes in the sword formation.
Xiu Qiyu's assimilation process was significantly faster than Ye Xiruo's. Furthermore, Xiu Qiyu's swordsmanship was already highly skilled, allowing her to handle these sword slaves with ease, unlike Ye Xiruo who could only manage a few moves.
An hour later, Xiu Qiyu broke the entire sword formation, and he killed all the sword slaves one by one.
His figure successfully appeared on the eighth floor. Now, the swordsmen watching below all had the same thought: Xiu Qiyu would definitely pass the eighth floor. No one knew who gave him this confidence, but they all had this inner suggestion that he would definitely pass.
The twelve mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators did not cause Xiu Qiyu much trouble. Xiu Qiyu discovered that the formations of these sword slaves in the sword tower seemed to be interconnected and had similarities in essence.
Xiu Qiyu simply used the essence he had comprehended on the seventh level to fight against the sword slaves on the eighth level. Sure enough, the feeling of déjà vu became even more obvious.
As he climbed each level, he wondered what the intermediate-level sword techniques and formations would look like. Although it was impossible now, Xiu Qiyu believed that one day he would reach the top and leave his name in the Sword Tower.
