Smoke and dust billowed as the wind roared Fine debris was blown into the air
In the after stood in the center of the passageith a sword in hand Dressed in his pristine green robe, he looked like an erect ba with pride
Time seemed to stop at that moment
Outside the tunnel, the students could not tear their eyes away fro
The wind stirred up plue swayed in the breeze
There was an inexplicable char Lang’s hand was razor-sharp The s were etched into the blade
The sword hilt rapped in a uard was a black lotus flower design
As the three-foot savered, the surrounding air buffeted
Whoosh!+
The ground of the tunnel was cleaved in half like a tofu
A clean cut!
Sharp!
Fang Lang did not wish to part with the sword He had only ever wielded the academy-issued swords
Those swords were no match to the one he currently held
Swoosh!+
Two silhouettes entered in the tunnel
The old scarred sword master and Chao Xiaojian appeared at the saale scattered the sreeted Chao Xiaojian with his cupped fist Chao Xiaojian nodded then turned to Fang Lang and the sword
“You ed to retrieve the sword!” Chao Xiaojian exclai was surprised by the voice He replied blankly, “Is it supposed to be hard? The Sword Guild has an abundance of talented people You’re telling me no one has ever touched this sword?”
Chao Xiaojian was speechless
The silenceshi+ver
None?
No wonder Chao Xiaojian made the earlier proht? The sword belongs to whoever that holds it?” Fang Lang asked treled his head sideways and said, “Did I say that? This sword belongs to Sect Leader Taihua I have no say over its ownershi+p”
Fang Lang’s expression darkened
‘You useless piece of trash
‘Don’t be shameless
‘That wasn’t what you said just now!’
Chao Xiaojian was mildly embarrassed by his behavior His lips twitched “Fine I’m not an unreasonable person Join the Sword Guild and you can have the sword”
“The inner sect?” Fang Lang angled the sword
Chao Xiaojian replied lightly, “You’ll spend three…no, two years in the outer sect Then, you’ll be exe Dynasty has strict laws that are enforced by the E you into the inner sect due to such laws”
Chao Xiaojian was intrigued—although Fang Lang’s core was average at best, his sword skills and techniques were un Lang had e Sect Leader Taihua’s sword, what else could Chao Xiaojian say?
Perhaps this was fate’s intention
Through sword intent appreciation, Fang Lang took hold of the Bloo Lotus Sword and conquered the de himself before the sword
In a sense, he was already half a disciple of Sect Leader Taihua
Hence, Chao Xiaojian could not let Fang Lang slip through his fingers
Fang Lang took a deep breath and said in a serious tone, “If that’s the case, I’ll take my chances with the Imperial Examination I’ll pick the Sword Guild and enter the inner sect through the traditional way”
Chao Xiaojian rolled his eyes A white core had little sway in the I behind others from the start due to his white core The Imperial Examination took into account all aspects of cultivation, not only sword mastery—the spell mastery, martial arts mastery and theory subjects There were too et the chance to stand out
Nevertheless, Chao Xiaojian decided he would let the boy have his way He would keep an eye on Fang Lang and when he failed to score well in the Imperial Examination, the Sword Guild would be his only option
“Fine You can stop repeating your catchphrase Since you o at the Imperial Examination When you fail, obediently return to the Sword Guild,” Chao Xiaojian said iendary sword has a spirit Fate brought it to you but don’t flaunt it Take this sword box and care for it”
Chao Xiaojian raised his hand The space ring was activated and a rosewood sword box flew at Fang Lang’s direction
Fang Lang grabbed the sword box and deposited the Blooy flickered out
The s’s face widened
“Thank you for the sword, Vice Leader Chao! I wish you a century of blessings!” Fang Lang said giddily
