Though the Crown Prince felt very stifled, he couldn't help but rejoice.
Thankfully he didn't do any drastic moves. Otherwise, he would have tripped greatly in Thousand Treasure Pavilion!
Clearing his throat again, Manager Sun interrupted the crowd below.
"It is not proper to delay affairs, so I invite the guards to test for everyone. I will first invite guard Qi to strike this strength testing stone with a normal sword."
Raising a normal iron sword, guard Qi walked to the side of the stage.
In the corner, stood a strength testing stone about the height of two people.
This strength testing stone was a common method of testing a cultivator power in the Soaring Heavens Continent. During school entrance examination, this would be used quite frequently.
Walking expressionlessly towards the strength testing stone, he suddenly raised the blade and slashed out.
As the blade struck the strength testing stone heavily, a loud 'boom' sounded. Straight after, it snapped in two.
