Martial Master

Their movements caught the attention of many martial artists outside the Demon Sword Square.

"Movement, movement, it's finally moving."

"Look, isn't there one less light point on the first level?"

"Eh, there really is one less light point on the first level."

"I told you, how could they possibly pass the first level of the Sword Intent Tower?"

"Although it was a bit slow, at least they have entered the second level."

"You scared me to death."

Everyone patted their chests, as if a hefty stone had fallen from their hearts.

With the reduction of light points on the first level,

buzz, buzz, buzz...

In the third level of the Sword Intent Tower, new light points began to illuminate one after another.

The third one.

The fourth one.

The fifth one...

In just a short incense stick’s time, the light points in the third level of the Sword Intent Tower surged from two to six.

Hiss!

A collective gasp rang out, in less than an hour and a half, eight people actually entered the third level. What does this mean?

Could it be that among this generation of inheritance disciples, six have swordsmanship that surpasses that of the former Lingjian Emperor?

What was even more astonishing was still to come. An hour and a half later, three more light points entered the third level, nearly matching the record of the Lingjian Emperor.

Nine, a full nine geniuses entered the third level in a time similar to that of the Lingjian Emperor, and among them, six are said to surpass the Lingjian Emperor. This...

Is truly against the heavens!

However, there are only nine places. In the next hour, the number of people in the third level did not change at all.

Yan Shijiu and the others were not surprised. The third level was inherently difficult. It was already remarkable to enter the third level within three hours; rumors had it that one could potentially challenge the eighth rank Martial Emperor.

Having nine this time greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

What frustrated everyone was that after two hours, there were still two light points on the first level that hadn’t moved, as if they were rooted in place.

Sigh, I wonder which faction's martial artists they are, unable to enter the second level even after two hours. Truly hopeless.

First level of the Sword Intent Tower.

Having practiced for a full two hours, Qin Chen finally opened his eyes.

"Impressive, truly impressive."

Excitement shone in Qin Chen's eyes.

Although the sword intent on the first level wasn't particularly strong, it was exceptionally exquisite and perfect, giving Qin Chen a significant breakthrough.

In just two short hours, he glimpsed a brand-new realm of sword intent, realizing that his previous understanding of sword intent was still filled with many flaws and deficiencies.

"Young Master Chen, this is the true sword intent."

At this moment, You Qianxue also opened her eyes, her expression excited and her face flushed.

In fact, at first, she was like those swordsmen who left early, unable to feel much. But as time passed in this first level, she gradually realized the difference between the sword intent here and her own understanding.

It was as if the sword intent here was the true sword intent, perfect and flawless, while her own understanding was merely fragmented.

"What a pity, those people were too impatient earlier. If they had stayed for half an hour longer, they might have understood the difference in this sword intent. Unfortunately, they left within an hour and a half."

You Qianxue sighed.

Qin Chen gently shook his head and said, "Actually, there's nothing to regret. Everyone has their own opportunities; one cannot force it. Although they were only a moment away from understanding the difference here, that moment represents two paths in life."

Upon hearing this, You Qianxue pondered, her heart stirred.

In fact, it was because she trusted Qin Chen completely that she stayed until now; otherwise, she would have probably left early like those swordsmen.

And this slight difference in thought made a world of difference.

"Let’s go, we should head to the second level."
