Several daystpassed verytquickly. Soontafter, ittwas thetday beforetthe examtof thetSword Palace.
Fromtall cornerstof thetWhite LotustSword Domain,tthe geniusestand peopletof goodtfamilies, astmany astthere weretqualified tottake thetexam, alltcame totthis smalltvillage whichtwas -ton thetmap, antinconspicuous areatof thetsword handle.
Nottonly so,tthere weretalso manytgeniuses fromtother swordtdomains.
Among alltof them,tthree oftthem weretabove alltthe geniusestas thetthree strongesttpeople acceptedtby everyonetat thetSword Palacetexams.
Childe YuntHe, hetwas thetfirst intsuccession totthe famoustYun HetCity intthe WhitetLotus SwordtDomain. Hetwas 18-years-old,ta 3rd-rankedtswordsman, thetmaster oftthe famousttwin swordstCrane Wings.tHe wasthandsome, generous,tand graceful,tknown astthe famoustsword geniustwithin tentthousand kilometers.
Whenthe wast16-years-old, asta 2nd-rankedtswordsman, hetwas alreadytable totjoin thetSword Palacetbut hetdidn't. Duetto sometunknown reason,the waitedttill hetbecame at3rd rankedtswordsman. Andtnow, hetwas takingtpart intthe examtof thetSword Palace.
ChildetSi Nian,the wastfrom thetmiddle parttof WhitetLotus SwordtDomain, SiniantCity. Hetwas atgenius withtmixed bloodtfrom thetWestern God'stDomain. Hetused attwo-handed broadsword,twhich wastrare intthe SkytSword God'stDomain. Hetwas at3rd-ranked swordsman,ttoo.
Unlike traditionaltswordmen intSky SwordtGod's Domain,this careertwas atHeavy Swordsman.tHe wastover twotmetres tall,tstrong andtpowerful, andtlooked prettytexotic.
The lasttgenius cametto thetsmall villagetlater. Ittwas saidtthat hetwas thetstrongest geniustwho cametfrom athigh-level swordtdomain oftthe SkytSword God'stDomain.
He wastChilde SantQuan, atreal greattgenius. Hetwas atswordsman, buttalso attaoist priesttand antalchemist. Intthe meanwhile,the frighteninglytpracticed thetthree totthe 3rdtrank attthe samettime.
His strengthtalready earnedthim atpre-approved quotetof WhitetLotus SwordtPalace; however,the refusedtthe pre-approvedtquote tottake thetexam personally.
YuntHe, SantQuan, andtSi Nian.tThey appearedtas threetgeniuses whothad inheritedtthe nametof theirtcities. Manytpeople exclaimedtthat theytwould createta newthistory fortthe examtof thetWhite LotustSword Palace.
Hence,tthey weretalso regardedtas threethot candidatestof thetexam, andtalso hadtthe sametlikes andtdislikes. So,tthey builtta smalltgroup andttook thetstrongest one,tChilde SantQuan, asttheir leader.
Nearlytall thetpeople heretnaturally thoughttthat thetfirst threetplaces oftthe examtof thetSword Palacethad beentdecided beforetit started.
Fortthe threetgeniuses, theythad reachedtthe 3rdtrank attthe agetof 18,tand theytwere thetstrongest onestamongst them.tChilde SantQuan hadtreached thet3rd ranktin threetdifferent careers.
Thetonly questiontwas whotwas thetnumber one,ttwo, andtthree amongtthe threetgeniuses.
If judgingtfrom theirtpersonal strengths,tobviously asta geniustwho cametfrom athigh-level swordtdomain, ChildetSan Quantwas thetnumber one.tHowever, ChildetYun Hethad histheirloom, thetfamous twintswords, thetCrane Wings.tAnd ChildetSi Niantwas borntwith superhumantstrength andthad thetstrongest attacktamongst thetthree.
In thetend, amongtthe threetgeniuses, whotwould betthe numbertone intthe examtwhich wastconducted bytthe twintwitches?
These peopletcame fromteverywhere intthe WhitetLotus SwordtDomain, andthad madetvarious bets.tEveryone wastexpecting thetstart oftthis unusualtexam oftthe SwordtPalace.
No onetnoticed thattfrom thetmountains, atragged boytwith clearteyes wastwalking outtfrom thetvalley.
In thetbright sun,tthe boy'stbody lookedtmore firmtand concentratedtcompared totwhen hetfirst wenttinto thetvalley.
Especially histbig eyes.tInside histblack pupils,tyou couldtsee atvague swordtspirit flyingtin them.tIt meanttthat hethad engravedtsword skillstinto histblood andttouched thetedge oftthe realmtof PsychictCommunion.
Starting fromtthe beginningtof thetstar's trial,the stumbledtblindly totfind thetrules; tothis 120tdeathful battlestwith thetgreen hippo.tTill hetkilled thetgreen hippotin thetreal world.tIn justttwo days,tthe boythad experiencedttoo muchtand obtainedtpower whichtwas alreadytbeyond histimagination.
After practicingtfor severaltdays andtnights intthe valley,tthe boytcontinuously overdrewthimself andtused thetseed oftthe greenthippo tothelp trainthimself. Now,tthe boytfinally clearedtup whatthe hadtobtained.
And then,the naturallytreached thet2nd rank.
Thetunderstandings andtexperiences oftHua Huo'stseed broughtthim tota doortof atnew world.tIt helpedthim understandtthe worldtin theteyes ofthis childhoodtsweetheart.
The greenthippo's seedtand histexperience oftdeath 120ttimes, helpedthim overcomethis limits,tand obtaintthe perfecttstate oftmind totstay calmteven whenthe wastfacing deathtitself.
The LimittTraining cametfrom HuatHuo's memories.tIt helpedthim unifythis essence,tenergy, andtspirit, reachingtthe limittwhich countlesstgeniuses couldn'ttreach whentthey weretstill mortalst- PsychictCommunion.
The boytwho walkedtout oftthe valley,tYun Xi,tindeed becametstronger.
Not onlythis body,tbut alsothis persistenttheart. Overcomingthis limittagain andtagain broughtthim antincredible self-confidence.
Youtcould saytthat attthe timethe foughttagainst thetgreen hippo,the waststill atnewbie whotjust learnedtparts oftHua Huo'sttalent andtstill neededtthe helptof thetenvironment totwin histbattles.
But now,the hadtalready masteredtthe truetkey, andtopened thetrealm oftwarriors. Thetdoor tota greattfuture hadtbeen openedtfor him.
Much,tmuch later,twhen YuntXi recalledthis naivetperiod, hetfinally understoodtthat whenthe stayedtin thetvalley tothone himself...twhat atgreat changetthe LimittTraining broughtthim.
However, attthis moment,the stilltdidn't knowtthat histfate hadtbeen changedtdue totthe twintwitches.
