Coming out of the Ninth Palace, Lin Huang was in a good mood.
It had only taken him less than half a month to successfully elevate his Seraphic Speed divine ability to Seraphic Speed God Rule. Even he had not expected such progress.
He had initially thought that it would take him at least two to three months to complete it.
Lin Huang also knew that the main reason he could break through so quickly was due to Sword9's support. Sword9 had put a lot of pressure on Lin Huang's rapid speed sword skill. Before the breakthrough of the Seraphic Speed divine ability, Lin Huang had actually been suppressed by Sword9. He had only managed to remain undefeated by relying on the various techniques of the Seraphic Speed divine ability.
Moreover, even after Sword9 had discovered Lin Huang's purpose, he had never given up and continued to play the role of a sparring partner.
This was also why Lin Huang had thanked him when he finally left the Ninth Palace.
Less than half a minute after leaving the Ninth Palace, the God's Servants from the Eighth Palace arrived quickly.
There were only two God's Servants in this wave. Both were humanoid monsters, and they were both female.
Lin Huang had thought that he would encounter more and more God's Servants, but after this round, he realized that the number of God's Servants had nothing to do with which palace it was; it was only related to the personality of the palace guard.
For example, Sword10 did not have many God's Servants under his command because he was lazy and did not like to be done by others. Meanwhile, there were ten God's Servants under Sword9's command because he liked the feeling of being superior and commanding others. Moreover, Sword8 had fewer God's Servants than Sword10. Lin Huang guessed that it was probably because Sword8 did not like to order others around.
After finishing off the two God's Servants with one slash, it did not take long for Lin Huang to see the Eighth Palace arrive.
This palace seemed to be cast from bronze. It was simple and unadorned, and even looked a little old.
Lin Huang did not pay too much attention to it. After the doors opened, he got up and darted inside.
After stepping through the door, what entered his eyes was a spacious and empty hall.
The palace looked to be at least several thousand square meters in area, but there was not a single decoration.
As Lin Huang looked around, he silently speculated in his heart whether Sword8 would be a steely straight man without the slightest interest.
But soon, he widened his eyes and saw a figure that had suddenly appeared not far away.
It was a petite girl. She looked half a head shorter than Lin Xin, and she was even thinner than Lin Xin.
Lin Huang couldn't help but be a little surprised that the iron-willed man in front of him was actually such a little loli.
"You are … Sword8?"
Although he knew that it was impossible for a gatekeeper other than Sword8 to appear in this palace, Lin Huang could not help asking.
The little girl nodded weakly. Then, her face quickly turned red, and even her breathing rate increased slightly.
"Is she really that shy, or is she acting?" Lin Huang's heart was filled with a trace of suspicion.
Although he had met all kinds of people over the years, this was the first time he had seen a shy little girl like Sword8.
Moreover, the fact that he was ranked eighth among the more than three hundred Sword Servants under Great Heaven's command was enough to show that his abilities were also outstanding among heavenly god-level powerhouses. Lin Huang always felt that the other party's shyness was not very real.
"I … I'm very strong …" The girl seemed to sense the doubt in Lin Huang's tone and added weakly.
"I believe that. After all, you're ranked Sword8." Lin Huang nodded with a smile.
"May I ask, what is your Sword Dao specialization?" Lin Huang could not help asking.
"I specialize in ultimate dao-type …" Sword8 did not hide anything. After all, he would find out as soon as they fought, so there was no need to hide anything. "I also know a little force-type and rapid speed type."
"Ultimate dao-type …"
Lin Huang raised his eyebrows when he heard this. In fact, his ultimate dao-type was also the strongest of the three cultivation paths.
"This level of mine isn't difficult. As long as the challenger can hold out for an hour, they can pass." Seeing that Lin Huang had not spoken for a long time, Sword8 hurriedly added the rules for clearing the Eighth Palace.
"Can we start now?" Lin Huang saw that the other party did not seem to have any intention to fight and that his opponent was a "little girl". He did not want to be the first to launch a sneak attack. He could only ask this question so that the other party could prepare for the battle.
Sword8 hesitated for a moment. The expression on her face was conflicted for a long time before she asked in a low voice, "Don't you want to talk a little longer to stall for time?"
Lin Huang shook his head and laughed. This girl was actually going easy on him.
"Are you from the Inheritance Sect?"
"What sect?" Sword8 looked confused.
"Aren't there the Inheritance Sect and the Regression Sect within the Sword Servants? Are you from the Regression Sect? "Lin Huang was a little surprised.
"The Regression Sect?" The expression on Sword8's face became even more confused. After thinking for a long time to no avail, she looked up at Lin Huang. "Do all Sword Servants have to join? Which sect do I belong to? "
"…" Lin Huang was speechless. This girl seemed to be completely unaware of the existence of the Sword Servants' internal factions.
However, Lin Huang quickly had two guesses about the other party's reaction.
Either the other party's acting skills were so superb that he could not see any trace of them. Or, the other party was so innocent that the other Sword Servants could not bear to pull her into a faction. That was why she was completely unaware of the factional struggles within the Sword Servants.
For the time being, Lin Huang could not tell whether the other party belonged to the former or the latter.
"I was just kidding, you don't have to take it seriously." Lin Huang did not want to continue to dwell on this topic with the other party, so he simply chose to gloss over it.
"So you were just kidding. You scared me!" Sword8 breathed a sigh of relief.
"I think we've chatted for enough time. If we talk any longer, it'll be too obvious that you're going easy on me." Lin Huang reminded the other party again that this was a Trial.
"I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. If it's too obvious that I'm going easy on you, I'll be scolded by Sword1. " Sword8 suddenly smacked her head as if she had just remembered what she was here for. "Thank you for the reminder. You're such a good person!"
"…" Lin Huang did not expect that he would be regarded as a good person even though he was only participating in a Trial.
"Are you ready?" Sword8 asked Lin Huang. "If you're not ready, I can wait for you a little longer."
"…" Lin Huang was completely speechless at this girl.
"Alright, draw your sword!"
As soon as Lin Huang finished speaking, he saw a battle sword suddenly appear in Sword8's hand. What surprised Lin Huang was that it turned out to be a broken sword. The long sword had originally been at least 1.5 meters long, but a third of the blade had been broken off. The fracture marks were clearly visible, and the remaining length of the blade was only about 40 centimeters.
"You don't have to be surprised. My original weapon was a broken sword. I'm used to using broken swords, so when I became a gatekeeper here, I set my weapon to be similar to a broken sword. "
Hearing this, Lin Huang's heart grew slightly solemn. If the other party could obtain Sword8's position with a broken sword, it was enough to show that her true abilities were higher than this position.
This was because a broken sword could not have a complete sequence rule.
Normally, it was unlikely that the Sword Servants under Great Heaven's command would use god sequence relics with incomplete sequence power. In other words, it was possible that Sword8 had obtained Sword8's position in a state where she lacked the sequence power blessing of her weapon.
These thoughts flashed through Lin Huang's mind. The next instant, he saw Sword8 hold the battle sword horizontally in one hand. Her feet suddenly exerted force, and her figure disappeared …
