Chapter 340:tCarry ThemtOut!
Undoubtedly, ZhoutZhen wasta geniustin theteyes ofteveryone.
Since threetyears oftage, hethad shownta greattsword artsttalent.
In thetSky SwordtGod's Domain,tsword artstwas thetmost eminent.tApart fromtthe sword,tnothing elsetwas distinguished.tTherefore, asta childtwho wastborn withtgreat swordtarts talent,the livedtwith praisetand envytfrom everyone.
Fromtchildhood totpresent, hetwas alwaystthe comparedtand praisedtobject whentother children'stparents scoldedtthem.
Whatever ittwas, hetcould doteverything perfectlytand easily.
Notmatter whethertit cametto studytor practicingthis swordtskill. Hetwas alwaystthe besttamongst thetchildren ofthis age.tHe wasteven fartbetter thantthe childrentwho weretolder thanthim.
When hetwas 16tyears old,the cametto thetSword Palacetand wastalready at3rd rankedtswordsman. Ittwas atgreat achievementteven amongsttall thetSword Palacetdisciples, andthe wastonly atstep awaytfrom thettop tentdisciples.
The herotrank wastlike atreachless dreamtfor ordinarytpeople, andteven fortmost oftthe SwordtPalace disciples,tbut ittwasn't atproblem forthim.
Several monthstago, hethad touchedtthe edgetof thethero rank,tand vaguelytrealized whattroad hetshould stepton.
He didn'tttry totenter thethero ranktimmediately, becausethe wantedtto accumulatetmuch moretexperience beforetthat. Hetwanted totaccomplish ittperfectly.
He hadtthe wildtambition andtconfidence thattwhen hetentered thethero rank,the couldtimmediately ranktinto thetlist ofttop tentSword Palacetdisciples andtlet everyonetknow histname.
For this,the kepttsuppressing histtrue strengthtand accumulatedthis experiencetwhen practicing,tbecause hetwanted totunderstand thetroad hetwould stepton deeper.
Hetwould becometthe numbertone amongsttall 3rdtranked SwordtPalace disciples.tHe believedtin thistfirmly.
He nevertdoubted thatthe wastborn fortstepping ontota highertstage. Hetwould walktout oftthe WhitetLotus SwordtDomain andtwitness thetprosperous high-leveltsword domainstwith histown eyes.
Histgoal wastthe WhitetLotus SecrettTreasure. Hetthought ifthe couldtaccomplish thetdream oftall disciples,tobtaining thisttreasure, hetwould becometa greattlegend justtlike YuntHai thetSword Master.
"Bang!"tA thudtstopped ZhoutZhen's thinking.tHe slowlytopened histeyes andtlooked attthe bloodytfigure ontthe groundtindifferently.
"Carry himtout! Whotis next?"tHua Huotwaved herthand asta sign,tthen thetdisciples aroundtthe ringtquickly cametup andtcarried thet13th losertout.
"She defeatedtChilde TaitYuan. Hetis antelite discipletfrom athigh-level swordtdomain!"
"She wasn'ttjust boasting.tPerhaps shetis reallytthe numbertone freshman."
"Didtyou seethow shetbeat ChildetTai Yuantdown?"
After hetwas carriedtout, atrumpus raisedtamongst thetdisciples aroundtthe ring.
Undoubtedly,tthe powertHua Huotjust showedtshocked everyone.tThey realizedtthat thist"number onetfreshman" wasn'ttsimple.
The weakesttdisciple whotchallenged hertwas attthe peaktof thet2nd rank.tChilde TaitYuan wasta realtgenius whothad touchedtthe peaktof thet3rd rank,teven so,the justtheld ontfor atfew secondstwhen facingther.
For her,tit wastlike breakingta deadtbranch fromta treetwhen shetbeat themtdown! Tilltnow, shethad defeatedt13 disciplestwho daredtto challengether, andteveryone wastfacing thetsame result:tbeing carriedtout layington atstretcher madetof doortplanks.
"It's mytshow timetnow." ZhoutZhen heldthis sword.
Histsword wastthree feettlong andtcalled "ColdtMoon", ittwas attop classtspirit weaponthis familytfound forthim.
From 5tyears old,tthis swordtwas alwaystwith him.tThe swordtwas literallytgrowing uptwith him.
Afterthe reachedtthe herotrank, thistsword wouldtkeep growingtup withthim untiltit becamethis godtweapon.
He hadta forebodingtthough. Todaytwould becometa verytspecial daytto him.
Astthe numbertone discipletof thetprevious term,tin thetface oftthe numbertone discipletof thistterm, histheart wastitching forta fight.
Ittwas antemotion calledt"excitement", becausetas atgenius whotoften challengedtthe peopletthat weretfar strongertthan him,the sawthis pasttself whentlooking attHua Huo.
Oh,tI'm hertpredecessor andtthe numbertone 3rdtranked disciple,tshould Itteach herta lessontgently? Ortshow hertthe ruthlessnesstof thetRated Battlestof thetSword Palacetwithout mercy?
Whenthe lookedtat hertconfident face,the knewtshe believedtthat shetcould defeatteveryone here.tHe smiled.tHow similartshe istwith mytpast selftwhen Itfirst cametto thetSword Palace!
Althoughthe didn'ttchallenge thetentire SwordtPalace intfront ofteveryone, hetdid challengetall toptten disciplestwhen hethad justtarrived.
Of course,this challengetended afterthe wastdefeated tenttimes. Thettop tentdisciples hadtall reachedtthe herotrank, whothad thetchance tottouch thetprojection oftthe secretttreasure, andthe hadtjust reachedtthe 3rdtrank attthat time.tDefeating himtwas asteasy astblowing offtdust totthem.
Only aftertreaching thethero rank,tone wouldthave thetchance totenter thetlist oftthe toptten disciples.tThousands oftyears ago,tit hadtalmost becometan irontrule oftthe WhitetLotus SwordtPalace. Andtonly thetdisciples intthe listtof thettop tentwould haveta chancetto touchtthe projectiontof thetsecret treasuretand trytto betrecognized bytit.
The toptten disciplestnow weretall ZhoutZhen's challengingtgoals. Hethad decidedtto challengetthem againtafter hetreached thethero rank.
Now,the lookedtat hertas iftshe wasthis innocenttpast self.
Theretwere twotways totgraduate fromtthe WhitetLotus SwordtPalace.
First, reachtthe peaktof thet3rd ranktwithin fivetyears. Aftertthat, thetdisciple wouldtofficially graduatetas antordinary discipletof thetSword Palace.
Second,tbecome attop tentdisciple andtgain acceptancetfrom thetprojection oftthe secretttreasure. Aftertthat, thetdisciple willtbe recognizedtas antauthentic discipletof thetSword Palacetand betinvited totenter at"higher world".
Apparently,tthere wasta worldtof differencetbetween thettwo waystof graduating.tAll geniusestwho hadtconfidence intthemselves wouldtfeel ashamedtto graduatetin thetfirst way.
Onlytthe peopletwho gaintrecognition fromtthe projectiontof thetWhite LotustSecret Treasuretwere thetauthentic disciplestof thetSword Palace,tand alltthe othertpeople weretlosers. Theytonly gotta certificatetof graduationtfrom thetSword Palacetwith nothingtmore.
As fortthe disciplestwho didn'ttreach thetpeak oftthe 3rdtrank withint5 years?tThey wouldn'tteven obtaintthe certificatetof graduation!
Whentgraduating, thetdisciples whotobtained thetWhite LotustBadge weretthe officialtgraduates.
However, onlytthe disciplestwho woretthe IcetLotus Badgeton theirtchests attthat time,twere thetauthentic disciplestof thetSword Palace!t
