Chapter 58 – Sword Qi Evaluation! The Power of Sword Will!

“You are?”

Zhou Xuanji pretended to not know Zhou Chengxin and asked calmly.

Zhou Chengxin had only seen him when he was young. There was no way that the seventh prince could identify him.

“I am the seventh prince of Great Zhou, Zhou Chengxin. I have long been your admirer.” Zhou Chengxin said with a smile as he fanned himself.

He revealed his identity so that Zhou Xuanji could face him squarely.

To say that he admired Zhou Xuanji was purely being polite.

From his perspective, there were as many cultivators that were stronger than Zhou Xuanji as there were fish in the river.

Zhou Xuanji nodded. “Is there anything I can do for you? I still need to register myself. ” He said.

Zhou Chengxin heard and smiled, saying, “Good. Let me lead the way.”

He signaled the Xie Sect disciple, and the latter promptly left.

Zhou Xuanji did not decline his offer. He understood Zhou Chengxin’s principles and was not afraid to owe him relational debts.

Anyway, after killing the Empress of Great Zhou, he would leave Great Zhou and wander around the world with Little Jiang Xue.

“Let’s first go for sword Qi analysis.”

Zhou Chengxin said. His words made Zhou Xuanji rather curious.

Why the need to analyze sword Qi?

Were they afraid that some sword cultivators might take advantage of the busy situation?

Zhou Chengxin saw that he was puzzled and explained to him, “There are numerous participants of the Sword Conference. It’s not good to have too many fatalities because of vast power disparities. So, participants are ranked based on their abilities. After the registration, only the top fifty will be selected to participate in the Sword Conference.”

“This means that registration is the first stage?” Zhou Xuanji asked with a lifted brow.

Xie Wuyou was really unfriendly. If he were to be the main character in a mystical novel, would he still be able to pretend to be dumb and weak to surprise his opponent?

“You are right, so don’t have any reservations. If you were chosen in the registration result, you will be shamed.”

Zhou Chengxin said with a smile. Following his lead, Zhou Xunaji quickly reached the sword Qi stage.

There was a chunk of iron rock that stretched three meters wide and six meters tall. There were numerous slash marks with differing depths.

There were ten such iron rocks in the hall, arranged into three rows, and cultivators were queuing in front of each rock.

“This is the sword Qi Rock. The result of the evaluation will be determined by the depth of the cut made by your sword Qi.”

Zhou Chengxin said, then he walked forward to talk to the Xie Sect disciple opposite him.

That Xie Sect disciple immediately asked those who were queuing to back up.

“Why does he get to cut the queue?”

A muscular man shouted in a deep voice. Those who came to participate in the Sword Conference were all very competent, no one wanted to queue.

Zhou Chengxin glanced at him and said, “This is Sword God Zhou on Great Zhou’s Reputation Ranking. If you can enter Great Zhou’s Reputation Ranking, you can cut the queue too!”

Wahhh!

A great commotion arose among the disciples who were queuing. The muscular man was in shock and immediately backed off.

Zhou Xuanji faced the crowd who looked at him peculiarly and walked to the sword Qi Rock without any expression.

There was a red rope three yards away from the sword Qi rock. No trespassing was allowed.

The Xie Sect disciple first took out a piece of white jade and wrote down “Sword God Zhou” on its surface with his fingers. Next, three words that were the size of flies appeared on the top left corner of the jade.

Zhou Xuanji felt curious. What spell was that?

But he did not show any signs of curiosity on his face.

The esteemed Sword God Zhou must not look ignorant.

“Sir, please draw your sword. You have only one attempt. You cannot try again.”

The Xie Sect disciple said respectfully. There was no such thing as a retry for real sword cultivators.

If a sword cultivator could not control the magnitude of his own sword Qi, he would not qualify for Sword Conference.

Zhou Xuanji flipped out his Hell King Sword and asked, “I can only slash, no sword technique or sword will be allowed?”

The crowd behind him broke into commotion again.

Sword will!

How many sword cultivators in the hall had realized their sword wills?

He is Sword God Zhou indeed. Even his words carried the aura of a powerful cultivator.

The Xie Sect disciple was at a loss. “Of course you can, but there can only be one stream of sword Qi. If there is more than one, you will fail the evaluation.” He replied.

Zhou Xuanji heard him and flipped his right hand. The Hell King Sword rotated in his hand, its radiance attracted the attention of sword cultivators in the other queues.

He held the Hell King Sword in a reversed grip and entered into the Tri-source Vein Severing Sword Will Mode straightaway.
