Li Yun easily passed the 20th wave and approached the 30th, attracting the attention of many disciples gathered there.
The 30th wave was a dividing line between geniuses and other disciples in the outer sect. Only the top 10 disciples had ever crossed the 30th wave. There were no records of any other disciples crossing that realm.
The Sword Path was divided into three progressively difficult stages, each designed to hone a disciple's mastery of the sword.
The first stage served as an introduction, testing the disciple's basic ability to block sword attacks.
Waves of strikes would come from all directions, and the disciple had to move forward while parrying or deflecting these attacks. Although challenging, it was considered the simplest of the three stages, as it focused mainly on defense.
