At first, many disciples were shocked that the core disciples couldn't pass the first stage of the selection. Many of them even felt that the difficulty of the selection was too high. At first, many disciples were shocked that the core disciples couldn't pass the first stage of the selection. Many of them even felt that the difficulty of the selection was too high.
After all, the core disciples were the strongest batch of disciples in the Sword Sect. It was indeed unexpected that they couldn't pass the first stage of the selection.
But soon, someone retorted. This time, the selection was for the top ten Sword Maniac disciples. Whether it was strength or talent, they must be above the core disciples. Moreover, they must be at least one level higher than the core disciples. Otherwise, how could they be qualified to become one of the top ten Sword Maniac disciples?
Many disciples gathered outside the valley and discussed softly. Their strength wasn't enough to compete for the top ten Sword Maniac disciples, but it didn't dampen their enthusiasm for the selection.
While the disciples outside were debating, Qin Kunlun, Liu Qingyao, Xiao Luan and the rest were still advancing in the valley.
At this point, there were fewer and fewer people who could resist the sword qi. There were only a few hundred people left and Xiao Luan was the only inner disciple left.
Originally, Qin Xuan and Xiao Luan had signed up for the Sword Maniac's disciple selection this time. However, Qin Xuan had already been eliminated earlier.
It couldn't be helped. Although Qin Xuan was talented as the young master of the Qin Clan, there was still a gap between him and Xiao Luan and the other core disciples.
What's more, even the weaker core disciples couldn't withstand the Sword Qi here, let alone Qin Xuan.
One disciple after another was eliminated. In the end, everyone successfully reached the deepest part of the Burial Sword Valley. When the ten swords were in front of them, there were only 30 people left.
Tens of thousands of disciples signed up for the selection, but only 30 people passed in the end. Such a harsh test was indeed a little cruel.
However, this was the result that Xiao Chen wanted to see. After all, this was the selection of the top ten Sword Maniac disciples, not some rotten cabbage on the street. Xiao Chen had always insisted on the principle of better quality than substandard. If no one could pass the first stage of the selection, Xiao Chen would rather leave the position of the top ten Sword Maniac disciples empty for the time being.
However, the results weren't bad. At least 30 people made it to this point, including Xiao Luan.
Apart from Xiao Luan, these 30 people were the cream of the crop among the core disciples. The fact that they could make it to this point proved their strength.
As the disciples arrived at the deepest part of the Sword Burial Valley and gazed at the 10 Famed Swords, Qin Kunlun, the number one core disciple, couldn't help but reveal a glint of excitement in his eyes. "Ten Sons Swords …"
Qin Kunlun had spent the past few days learning about the ten Sword Fanatics of Swords Gate, so he naturally knew the origin of the Ten Sons Sword.
The Ten Children Sword was the collective name of the ten famed swords in front of him. They belonged to each of the ten great sword fanatics, and each of the Ten Children Sword was a peerless divine weapon.
Along with Qin Kunlun's shock, a clear laughter sounded out of nowhere. "That's right, it's the Ten Children Sword."
Xiao Chen, Cang Xing, Lin Qing, Nangong Guan, and the other higher-ups of the Sword Sect appeared one after another. Xiao Chen swept his gaze across the 30 people and said with a satisfied expression.
"Not bad. It seems like all of you live up to your reputation. But whether you can become one of the top ten Sword Maniac disciples in the end will depend on whether you have the strength to do so."
Facing Xiao Chen and the other higher-ups of the Sword Sect, even Qin Kunlun couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Under his lead, everyone bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Sect Leader and Vice Sect Leaders."
It was rare for the core disciples to see Xiao Chen. At this moment, Liu Qingyao, who stood beside Qin Kunlun, had her beautiful eyes fixed on Xiao Chen. Her eyes glinted with joy.
Liu Qingyao was very happy to see Xiao Chen every time. Even if it was just a glance from afar, she felt that it was enough.
Xiao Chen didn't feel Liu Qingyao's gaze. Or rather, he didn't care at all. The smile on his face didn't fade as Xiao Chen said indifferently.
"I won't say much about what the top ten Sword Maniac disciples mean to the Sword Sect. I believe all of you already know. Since you've passed the first stage, let's begin the second stage."
The first stage was to eliminate those who weren't strong enough. The fact that Qin Kunlun and the others could reach this stage already proved that their strength was top-notch among all the disciples of the Sword Sect.
Since that was the case, the second stage of the test was to show their true strength. Under the personal supervision of Cang Xing, each of the 30 people present would have to fight with the other 29 people. In the end, the rankings would be determined based on the results. Only those who entered the top 10 would have the chance to become one of the top ten Sword Maniac disciples.
That's right, even if you successfully entered the top 10, it didn't mean that you would definitely become one of the top ten Sword Maniac disciples. This was because there was still one final test, which was the test from the Ten Child Swords.
One had to obtain the approval of one of the Ten Child Swords in order to become one of the top ten Sword Maniac disciples. This was also the rule of the Sword Sect.
Everyone knew that the Ten Child Swords had spirits. Whether or not the Ten Child Swords approved you was the key to whether you could become one of the top ten Sword Maniac disciples. Of course, the premise was that you still had to pass the second stage of the test. Otherwise, you wouldn't have the chance to come into contact with the Ten Child Swords.
Xiao Chen naturally attached great importance to the selection of the top ten Sword Maniac disciples, so he planned to personally watch the battles. Sitting cross-legged in the air, Cang Xing, Nangong Guan, and the others gathered around Xiao Chen and smiled at Cang Xing. "Let's begin."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Cang Xing immediately shouted, "The first battle, Qin Kunlun against Zhang Mingfeng."
As soon as Cang Xing's words came out, everyone below was stunned. Was there going to be an earth-shattering battle right from the start?
Qin Kunlun was the number one core disciple, so there was no need to talk about his strength. Zhang Mingfeng wasn't weak either. He was ranked seventh core disciple, so he also belonged to the small group of people at the top.
Cang Xing arranged such a battle right from the start, which made everyone secretly excited.
After all, they were all core disciples, but they hadn't fought for a long time, let alone in such an environment.
Everyone spontaneously retreated to the side, leaving space for Qin Kunlun and Zhang Mingfeng. Xiao Chen also gently waved his hand and used Sword Realm to seal the surrounding space, creating a completely undisturbed battle environment for the two of them.
Under the cover of Sword Realm, Qin Kunlun and Zhang Mingfeng's battle couldn't affect the outside world. In this way, the two of them could naturally fight without any scruples.
