More people still remained.
After all, most people primarily used swords.
And this Sword Intent Monument assessment was a yearly occurrence.
Therefore, those who came had already learned about it.
They generally had some confidence in their swordsmanship.
Ye Lingyou then continued, "Passing the second round of assessment is simple. You only need to leave your sword mark on the Sword Intent Monument. Regardless of the depth of the sword mark, if you can cut out even a fraction of depth, you can become an inner disciple after passing the third round of assessment."
"Isn't that easy?"
A male disciple picked up a sword prepared by Heavenly Nether Holy Land. Subsequently, the aura around him surged.
"Drink!"
He then shouted loudly, slashing his sword towards the Sword Intent Monument in front of him.
However…
He looked like he had a strong aura and was quite powerful.
However, when this sword landed on the Sword Intent Monument, not even the slightest trace appeared on the smooth surface of the monument.
Let alone a sword mark.
Not even a scratch.
"This…"
Seeing this scene, the male disciple looked incredulous.
No…
He was a top genius in his area.
Let's not talk about becoming an elder's disciple; shouldn't he at least be able to become an outer disciple?
Now, he wasn't even qualified to become an outer disciple?
What kind of person could pass the Heavenly Nether Holy Land's disciple recruitment assessment?
"Impossible… impossible."
He looked disbelieving.
Ye Lingyou was used to this scene.
This world is never short of geniuses.
Some people are top geniuses in their area, one in ten thousand, high-spirited and invincible.
But placed in the entire Nine Provinces, they are nothing.
They don't even meet the threshold for seeing top geniuses.
This is normal.
It's like Go.
You win first place in the county Go competition at the age of nine.
At ten, you are invincible.
At fifteen, no one in the entire province can make you serious.
At twenty, you sweep across several surrounding provinces.
Everyone thinks you are promising material.
Until your opponent is Ke Mou.
It's also like you were born into a family of martial artists.
No one among your peers can match you.
After many years and tribulations, you finally ascend.
Then you successfully become one of the hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals who besieged the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.
"Next."
Ye Lingyou said plainly.
Everyone's expression was solemn.
"Is it that difficult? I don't ask to cut out a fraction of depth, just a sword mark will do! At least I want to become an outer disciple."
"What kind of monsters are those who can become elder disciples?"
"Hiss—"
"…"
One by one, they walked over.
Some succeeded, some failed.
Indeed, some people cut out a fraction of depth.
A few people cut out two fractions of depth.
"Next."
Lin Tianyi walked over calmly.
He wanted to shock Ye Lingyou.
With shock, thereby making her curious about him.
When a woman becomes curious about a man, it is the beginning of that woman's downfall.
He, Lin Tianyi, wanted to be the most dazzling person in this assessment!
Surpassing everyone by a lot!
However, he had an opponent.
Xiao Qiufeng!
He didn't expect to encounter this level of genius in a disciple assessment.
However, in the first round of assessment, he still had some power he hadn't released.
Otherwise, Zi Ling Guan Yun would have been even more shocked.
Definitely no worse than that Xiao Qiufeng.
He was the best.
There was no way he could be worse than some other disciple who came to participate in the assessment.
Simply laughable.
So, this time, he was serious.
He was going to unleash a sword with all his strength.
This sword would shake the Nine Provinces.
Lin Tianyi picked up the sword next to him.
Everyone stared at him.
After all, he was too dazzling in the first round of assessment.
Shen Guanjian rubbed his hands expectantly.
"Brother Xiao, after Yi Tian finishes, I'll let you see the strength of the future number one sword in the Nine Provinces."
Xu Fengqiu nodded, "Okay, let's wait and see."
Subsequently, Lin Tianyi's Heavenly Dao Realm one-star power erupted.
"Heavenly Dao Realm one-star…"
Ye Lingyou nodded.
Indeed very powerful.
Although he was over thirty years old, he probably didn't have much cultivation resources.
For most martial artists, cultivation time is very important, the earlier the better.
But for top geniuses, it doesn't matter.
Early lead doesn't mean much.
Subsequently, Lin Tianyi's eyes narrowed.
Whoosh—
His figure flickered in front of the Sword Intent Monument.
A cold light flashed.
Subsequently, a long sword mark thirty centimeters deep appeared there.
Wow—
Upon seeing this, everyone burst into an uproar.
"My god! So deep? This, this, this? Who exactly is this Yi Tian!"
"With this depth, damn! I'm afraid even the top swordsmen in the Nine Provinces would find it difficult to achieve this, right? Huh?"
"His sword intent is so terrifying? Is he crazy!"
"…"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Inside the hall.
Those powerhouses were shocked again.
"This kid is extraordinary, extraordinary!"
"Such a deep sword mark, Great Elder, what about you now?"
The Great Elder said, "I can do it, even stronger than him, but, this old man is 1300 years old, practiced swordsmanship for over a thousand years, and also has a sword spirit body. This swordsmanship, looking at the Nine Provinces, if not the first, then it is also outstanding. How old is he? To actually directly approach the old man's level? This is… a peerless and rare talent!"
"His sword intent is at the level of a top swordsman's ordinary cultivation of nearly a thousand years. This is simply heaven-defying! Looking at the Nine Provinces, no one of his age can surpass him in swordsmanship! He can be called the number one sword of this age! Absolutely undeniable!"
"Chen Mo of the Chen family, Great Dao Sword Body, a top sword genius, he is also much worse. After all, age is a factor here. Who exactly is this Yi Tian?"
"Our Heavenly Nether Holy Land has found a treasure, Sect Master, I want this genius!"
"What? I want him!"
"Then it's obviously this elder. When it comes to swords, who can compare to this elder?" the Great Elder said.
"…"
Sect Master Duanmu Jin stroked his beard, "Extraordinary, this is really extraordinary. Great Elder, this sword, this Sect Master should be no weaker than you, right?"
After speaking, Duanmu Jin smiled and took a sip of tea.
…
Ye Lingyou also looked at Lin Tianyi in shock.
What kind of genius is this?
If she were to compare herself to him, just in terms of this sword, she was completely incomparable.
This is too exaggerated!
Who is this person?
Lin Tianyi was very satisfied with this result.
After all, he had the top-level swordsmanship and sword intent rewarded by the system.
So, although he looked like he was in his thirties.
But in reality, his swordsmanship and sword intent were at the level of a top swordsman who was thousands of years old.
Fortunately, the system didn't take back his reward.
Lin Tianyi threw the sword aside.
"Thank you for the accommodation."
Ye Lingyou came back to her senses and said, "Go inside and proceed to the third round of assessment."
"Thank you, Fairy Ye."
Lin Tianyi walked away.
That Shen Guanjian stood in place, his mouth twitching.
"That… how about this, then I'll be the number two sword in the future Nine Provinces, well, just number two, can't be lower than that."
