Chapter 1071 - Sword Road
Black Wind Swordsman didn’t give a moment’s thought to the opinion of the Sword Pavilion’s disciples. He went to the Sword Pavilion and stood before its gate.
“Do you want to join the Sword Pavilion?” A middle-aged male teacher with a refined bearing was standing in the middle of the courtyard. He was clad in a blue robe and possessed an outstanding aura.
“That’s right,” he replied.
“I’m the Deputy Pavilion Master, Deng Chen. Like all other academic establishments, the Sword Pavilion has its own requirements. You must pass a strict test before being allowed to join.”
After passing the test, one would need to pay a hefty tuition fee. However, many people wanted to pay such a fee, but they couldn’t get the chance.
Upon hearing Deputy Pavilion Master’s words, the Sword Pavilion’s disciples relaxed. They were all worried that he would open the back door for the Black Wind Swordsman because he was afraid of the great master. But, since he would handle this affair fairly, they didn’t need to worry about anything.
The people who had come to observe this affair thought inwardly, “As expected of the Sword Pavilion, they can stand up to even Master Luo Cheng’s pressure.”
“It’s nineteen meters.”
“That’s right, it’s nineteen meters, and it was made by the Sword Venerable.”
“Don’t hold too much hope out for him. At most, he will walk another two or three meters.”
There were some people looking forward to his performance, while others ridiculed him, and mocked him.
On the other side, Yang Jing became nervous because fifteen meters was his current achievement.
“It’s impossible for this guy to achieve it,” Yang Jing muttered, even though it was obvious from his tone that he wasn’t sure about this.
At first, he had assumed that Black Wind Swordsman couldn’t cross even three meters, but now he had already crossed ten meters.
Since he reached the fourth meter, he seemed like he would collapse at any moment. Yet, he didn’t collapse at all.
“It seems like I have good acting talent.” Jiang Chen observed the crowd’s reaction out of the corner of his eyes. He found it quite funny!
He mustn’t display an outstanding performance, and he should just present a reasonable performance, while, his way of walking down while staggering along would be a great encouragement to others.
It was only when Jiang Chen reached the fifteenth meter that he started finding it strenuous, but it was still quite easy for him. However, when he reached the seventeenth meter, he felt like he was bearing a great pressure.
Jiang Chen seemed like someone who was lost in a desert, and who had walked around in it for several days and nights and now on the verge of collapse.
“What is going on with him? Why hasn’t he fallen down yet?”
The Sword Pavilion’s disciples almost went crazy, while Yang Jing’s face turned pale.
The reaction of the people in the vicinity was quite calm. They were staring at Black Wind Swordsman’s feet, while silently counting the number of meters crossed by him. It was now nineteen, the same as the best record.
Deng Chen and the two elders strode forward by several steps with their faces filled with shock.
When Black Wind Swordsman’s swaying foot landed on the ground once again, cheering echoed down the whole street.
“He broke it! He broke the record!”
The Sword Pavilion’s disciples looked at each other in dismay. It was difficult for them to believe what they had just witnessed.
But, that tall and upright silhouette was genuine and real, and none could disregard him.
