Buzz!

The long sword resonated, moving on its own without wind, springing out of Xiu Jie Ming's hand and flying back to the white-robed Sword Spirit.

The long sword circled the white-robed Sword Spirit three times before finally landing in his hand.

"You've penetrated the Sword Dao, with exceptional aptitude, I can pass down the Celestial Escape Sword Technique to you." The white-robed Sword Spirit spoke, moving like a sword light, instantly arriving before Xiu Jie Ming.

With Xiu Jie Ming's ability, he unexpectedly couldn't dodge in time and was touched on the forehead by the white-robed Sword Spirit's finger.

In an instant, countless sword lights emerged from the white-robed Sword Spirit's fingertip, penetrating Xiu Jie Ming's forehead.

Everyone was shocked and hurried to summon their pets to try to save Xiu Jie Ming. If he were to die here, it was feared that no one except Xiu Yingmei would leave alive.

Xiu Jie Ming, however, spread his arms to stop everyone, signaling them not to move.

After enduring the numerous sword lights, the white-robed Sword Spirit suddenly withdrew, yet there was not the slightest harm on Xiu Jie Ming's forehead.

It was then that everyone understood the white-robed Sword Spirit was only transmitting sword skills to Xiu Jie Ming, and not intending to kill him.

But when they looked again at the white-robed Sword Spirit, they saw that he had vanished, and the sword had returned to the formation of three swords, suspended in the first position.

"The Celestial Escape Sword Technique is an unparalleled secret skill. If you wish to pass this stage, you must rely on your own abilities and understanding of sword skills. If your comprehension of swordsmanship is sufficient, you can pass the test even if your level is not high. It's definitely impossible to pass using pets that don't understand swordsmanship." Xiu Jie Ming shared his experience of passing the first stage with everyone.

After hearing him say this, several Third Awakening Cultivators who hadn't yet participated in the test, along with other Second Awakening Cultivators, were intrigued.

However, not everyone practices swords, nor does everyone learn sword skills or understand swordsmanship.

After waiting for a while, a Second Awakening Cultivator stepped forward to challenge the first stage.

Under Xiu Jie Ming's guidance, he too received a sword from the white-robed Sword Spirit and obtained the unparalleled secret skill 'Celestial Escape Sword Technique'.

Seeing this, cultivators who understood swordsmanship were eager to try. Two or three more under Xiu Jie Ming's guidance acquired the 'Celestial Escape Sword Technique' inheritance.

The other participants in the challenge didn't pass, but neither were they killed like those pets.

Those who obtained the sword technique were naturally grateful to Xiu Jie Ming. Even those who didn't pass felt that Xiu Jie Ming's ability and courage were outstanding. If it weren't for him taking the first risk, perhaps no one would have dared to personally challenge the white-robed Sword Spirit. After all, the white-robed Sword Spirit initially killed so many Third Awakening pets with one strike, which was truly terrifying.

"A Guan, you also practice swords. The opportunity is rare, give it a try." Xiu Jie Ming said with a smile, looking at Chen Guan as no one else stepped forward to challenge.

"But he's only a First Awakening. Isn't that too risky?" Button Brother said from the side.

"The secret transmission values talent and aptitude, not level. A Guan defeated Jiang Qiemo with one sword; his talent in Sword Dao is undoubtedly unparalleled. Such a challenge should be a piece of cake for him." Xiu Jie Ming said with a smile, seeming very appreciative and expectant of Chen Guan.

Xiu Yingmei's heart was pounding, not wanting Chen Guan to take up the challenge.

"Since the commander holds me in such regard, how can I betray the commander's trust?" Chen Guan said as he walked towards the white-robed Sword Spirit.

Xiu Yingmei was anxious: "You fool, I just warned you about staying out of trouble. If you can't pass the test and get injured, you'll gain nothing. If you pass, the better you perform, the more inclined Brother will be to kill you. It's all bad news."

Chen Guan didn't know Xiu Yingmei's thoughts, but he had his own plans, and wouldn't change his decision even if he knew.

Like before, the white-robed Sword Spirit appeared again, holding a sword as he came to Chen Guan.

Chen Guan didn't waste words and directly drew his sword, thrusting it toward the white-robed Sword Spirit.

Those who previously passed the test all, like Xiu Jie Ming, waited for the white-robed Sword Spirit to strike and either blocked or dodged. As long as they could take this one strike, they would pass the test.

No one, like Chen Guan, actively attacked the white-robed Sword Spirit.

The pets that previously attacked the white-robed Sword Spirit, even at the Third Awakening level, were killed instantly by the white-robed Sword Spirit.

Although it was now known that this was because they didn't understand the Sword Principle, and thus angered the white-robed Sword Spirit, still no one dared to attack the white-robed Sword Spirit like Chen Guan.

Xiu Yingmei's heart was almost in her throat, her fingers unconsciously clenching tightly, her palms sweaty with tension.

But Chen Guan moved forward without hesitation, thrusting his sword fast and ferociously.

However, he didn't use a Secret Skill, relying solely on his own power and primordial energy to support this strike.

The white-robed Sword Spirit's purpose was merely testing and transmitting skills. Whether or not he was courteous did not matter much; if one's innate talent and abilities were adequate, they could acquire the sword skill.

If he used sword skills to contend with the white-robed Sword Spirit, it would be courting death, using other schools' sword skills to fight the white-robed Sword Spirit. It would be impossible for you to win, otherwise, it would say that Chunyang Temple's Sword Dao is inferior to others, meaning sure defeat.

Before, Xiu Jie Ming's approach was to not use sword skills, just to take a strike and be done.

Chen Guan saw through the essence; as long as he didn't use sword skills against the white-robed Sword Spirit, and additionally showed his own abilities and talent, he should be able to receive the inheritance.

Thus, not only did Chen Guan strike proactively, but this strike was also full force, utilizing one hundred percent of his power and primordial energy.

Clang!

The clash of gold and iron rang out as the white-robed Sword Spirit's sword collided with Chen Guan's Miaoshu Sword.

Unexpectedly, the white-robed Sword Spirit's sword was struck by Chen Guan, flying out at an angle and embedding into the ground.

Everyone found it incredible, yet Chen Guan was not surprised.

The white-robed Sword Spirit's challenge evidently adjusted according to the challenger's own capability. Chen Guan was only a First Awakening, and the power the white-robed Sword Spirit used was only First Awakening. Chen Guan's abilities far exceeded those of the same level, making it natural for the white-robed Sword Spirit's sword to be knocked away.

"Pure heart, unrefined metal, exceptional talent, the Pure Yang Sword Technique can be passed on." The white-robed Sword Spirit extended his hand, and the sword embedded in the ground moved on its own without wind, flying back into his hand, while the voice came out of his mouth.

The white-robed Sword Spirit moved like light, pointing a finger at Chen Guan's forehead, like a magical Sword Rainbow, directly piercing through Chen Guan's body.

Everyone had a curious look on their faces, wondering why those who received the inheritance before got the Celestial Escape Sword Technique, but Chen Guan received the Pure Yang Sword Technique.

Though it was unknown which was stronger, the fact that everyone else got the Celestial Escape Sword Technique while only Chen Guan received the Pure Yang Sword Technique suggested it must be something extraordinary.
