Xu Lan nodded, her expression turning solemn. "The trial is a life and death battle between you and disciples from the other five forces."
"What do you mean by a life and death battle?" Li Yun asked, frowning. "Will they challenge me to fight to the death or something?"
"It's complicated," Xu Lan said, then explained. "Each of the five powers will send one disciple to fight against you in a life and death battle. If you survive all five of them, then you're good to go."
"Isn't that an easy thing?" Li Yun asked, confused. If he just had to fight someone and win to survive, then even if he hadn't killed the disciples of the Profound Sword Sect, he would still be up for the challenge. He didn't see any problem with it.
Xu Lan shook her head. "They won't be just any disciples. They will be geniuses from other sects, and their cultivation realms will keep increasing."
