Xie Zhou passed the first test so easily and directly.
With an unsurprised smile, she appeared directly in front of the guardian in an instant. The guardian was also very surprised by the shock this challenger brought him. He never thought that someone could break the formation of the Ten Thousand Swords Formation so quickly. She was simply too powerful!
I don't know what this person's abilities are.
She looked so young, an unmarried young woman, yet she possessed such formidable strength; the guardians had only encountered one like her in centuries.
He and the first sect leader of the Sword Sect guarded this place for a long time, hoping year after year that a powerful figure would appear.
I was really looking forward to it, but every challenger who entered through the Four Saints' Tomb failed the final test and left the Four Saints' Tomb. Some even had unpleasant encounters with the guardians, repeatedly provoking them and even fighting with them while making sarcastic remarks.
If it weren't for the fact that the first sect leader of the Sword Sect could easily remove it from this space, this place would have been destroyed long ago by those wicked and unscrupulous people.
Today's meeting has indeed given me hope. The first sect leader of the Sword Sect didn't pay any attention to it at first. Because of the negative first impression, he thought she was just an arrogant little girl who was being protected. So he simply sent a guard to be the host of this trial and didn't care about her himself.
However, after breaking through the first trial, both the guardian and his side received some news. They did not expect that the record would be broken so quickly, the first one since ancient times. She also found the sword itself in the shortest possible time and broke the great formation. She was really amazing.
As the name suggests, the Sword Sect is a sect that often uses the sword as the foundation of self-cultivation. The first principle is to deal with those swords and be very familiar with them. Therefore, the first trial is to find the real sword in the 100,000 sword formation, which is very difficult to detect.
After all, every sword is exactly the same, and their aura is exactly the same. It all depends on whether the person's swordsmanship is superb and whether they can truly understand the essence of the sword. Only then can they find the true essence of the sword among so many illusions.
Xie Zhou's strength is truly astonishing, so the first sect leader of the Sword Sect became quite interested and looked forward to seeing how she would perform in the next two trials.
Xie Zhou took the real sword and slowly walked to the guard's side, presenting the sword with both hands, saying, "This sword itself was quite difficult to find; it took some time."
As the guard reached out to take the sword, he paused slightly upon hearing her words, followed by a somewhat eerie laugh. He was genuinely excited, marveling that she was a true genius!
"Hahahaha..."
After he retrieved the sword, he placed it into the sword slot of the device, which then descended. Soon, the first trial was over, and Xie Zhou passed it almost perfectly.
After laughing, the guardian said, "Next, we'll score the trial participants' performance within the level!"
As Xie Zhou expected, she wore a confident smile, and when the guardian reopened, the first place title popped up.
However, Xie Zhou didn't take this first place seriously at all. If it weren't for the help of her pupil technique, it would have been extremely difficult for her to break through the 100,000 sword formation. After all, even when she used her mental power to investigate before, it would have taken her a very long time.
The guard clapped and said, "Great! Great! You've broken the record for the first level from ancient times to the present. You're the strongest among these people, and the first person to have taken so little time. You're incredibly amazing!"
Without her even thinking, this result was definitely a record that broke the precedent. After all, the system had already reminded her when she completed this task that she had taken much longer than the previous people, and that her pupil technique was becoming more and more proficient.
In just a few breaths, the guardian gave her a score.
"Congratulations to this trial participant! Your score is the highest so far, a perfect score!"
Xie Zhou simply nodded, and then said, "Then let's hurry up and enter the second trial."
"Alright, the second trial requires the trial participants to comprehend the sword manual created by the first sect leader of the Sword Sect in less than a day, that is, within half a day. This sword manual is not the one that has been passed down to us now, and it does not have any particularly obvious rules. If the trial participants can learn most of the sword techniques and sword skills in the sword manual within half a day, the more they learn, the higher their score will be."
"Alright, I understand all of that. Now give me the sword manual..."
The guardians were bewildered by Xie Zhou's apparent underestimation of her or whether she possessed considerable strength.
His nonchalant demeanor was making things more and more interesting. He had finally encountered a genius like him, and he was sure he would perform even better in the second round. He was eagerly anticipating it.
Soon they reached the second level. The guardian formed a hand seal, and a book appeared in front of Xie Zhou. All the words seemed to jump and appear in the air, arranged in rows.
In order not to disturb the trial participants' comprehension, the guardian left the space for Xie Zhou and withdrew from the space himself.
Xie Zhou stared at the sky filled with characters, her eyes glazed over. There were even some characters she couldn't understand at all. Many of them were in classical Chinese, making them quite difficult to comprehend.
She thought that the content of this self-made sword manual was only the idea of the first sect leader of the Sword Sect. She did not expect that the handwriting was probably his own. Many of the characters were rather messy and were written in a very flamboyant style.
