“I just think every layer of sword intent is worth understanding. You all can follow your own ideas and don’t need to worry about me.”
“Pretending to be mysterious.” Ji Ru Yue said. She had followed Qin Chen just to have him lead the way. Now that they were in the Sword Intent Tower, she naturally did not want to stay with him. Looking at You Qian Xue, she said, “My previous suggestion, you might want to consider. If you are willing to join the Law Enforcement Hall, I can help you with that. Goodbye.”
With a sway of her figure, she instantly disappeared into the Sword Intent Tower, clearly looking for the passage to the second layer.
“Brother Qin, we’ll take our leave as well.”
After cupping his hands to Qin Chen, Ye Wuming, although puzzled in his heart, did not say anything further. With a sway of his figure, he too disappeared into the Sword Intent Tower.
Only You Qian Xue remained, trusting Qin Chen completely. She knew that he wouldn’t act without purpose. She settled down cross-legged in the Sword Intent Tower and began to carefully comprehend the sword intent of the first layer.
At the entrance, a group of martial artists rushed in. Upon seeing Qin Chen and You Qian Xue cultivating directly in the first layer, they all felt bewildered.
“What is going on with this kid?”
“He's actually cultivating in the first layer. Can he even withstand the first layer of sword intent?”
“That’s impossible! Just a moment ago, this kid defeated Hua Jinhou with one move. How could he not withstand the sword intent of the first layer of the Sword Intent Tower?”
“Not necessarily. Didn’t you see how that kid defeated Hua Jinhou?”
“How did he defeat him?”
“Completely using body techniques and palm techniques, without employing sword techniques at all. Perhaps this kid’s attainments in sword techniques are quite average, which is why he can’t even withstand the sword intent of the first layer.”
“That’s impossible, right?”
All the martial artists who saw Qin Chen and You Qian Xue were confused and couldn’t help but discuss among themselves.
The actions of the two were indeed too strange. In the history of the Demon Sword Heritage, no martial artist had ever been unable to withstand even the sword intent of the first layer of the Sword Intent Tower.
Moreover, the time for the assessments of the Demon Sword Heritage was limited. Almost everyone would think of ways to quickly reach the sword intent levels they could withstand. This way, they could comprehend more and gain more here. It had never been heard of someone comprehending sword intent in the first layer.
However, not everyone thought this way. Some martial artists, who activated the sword path relatively slowly, saw with their own eyes that Qin Chen and You Qian Xue had activated the Supreme Sword Path and a hundred sword paths respectively.
Additionally, previously, Qin Chen was the only expert to reach the stone tablet of the sword path.
They began to speculate whether there was a deeper meaning behind the actions of Qin Chen and You Qian Xue.
How could an expert who activated the Supreme Sword Path possibly be unable to withstand even the first layer of sword intent?
Could it be that there was some hidden mystery inside?
Thinking of this, they all stopped and sat cross-legged not far from Qin Chen, also beginning to comprehend the sword intent of the first layer just like him.
At first, there weren’t many people doing this, but as one brought ten, and ten brought hundreds, in the end, there were actually hundreds of people following Qin Chen, sitting cross-legged in the first layer of the Sword Intent Tower, comprehending the sword intent of the first layer.
It created a magnificent sight.
Meanwhile, when Qin Chen and the others entered the Sword Intent Tower...
Outside the Demon Sword Heritage, on the high tower in front of the Demon Sword Square.
Buzz!
The entire high tower suddenly emitted a layer of hazy sword light, capturing the attention of all those present.
