Xuantianzong is located in the center of the Tianxing Continent, with mountains and clear springs with rich aura in a radius of thousands of miles, swallowing mountains and rivers, and the weather is full of thousands of weather. Inside and outside the sect, the aura between heaven and earth is pervasive, as if it can let monks break through the bottleneck and absorb the essence of heaven and earth at any time. Standing in front of the gate of Xuantianzong, Ye Chen felt an unprecedented shock in his heart.
From childhood to adulthood, he has been living in a barren mountain village left by his parents, and people around him looked at him coldly. However, today, when he stepped into the gate of Xuantianzong, he knew that all this would change.
The disciples in the sect are all geniuses who have been selected layer by layer, with strong cultivation and extraordinary talents. Ye Chen walked through the vast practice field and saw groups of disciples refining swords and practicing skills. Those rainbow-like figures of sword light made a strong impulse surge in his heart. Although he doesn't have much confidence, he knows that this will be the place where he will go against the sky.
"Ye Chen, you can stand firm in this world, relying on kendo!" He seemed to hear his father's voice, and his heart was shocked. He held the space ring on his waist, which was the only relic left by his parents.
As the assessment of the sect was about to begin, Ye Chen looked so small in front of a group of arrogant geniuses. He felt their disdainful eyes and heard those ridicules. Even some disciples don't regard him as equal to themselves at all.
"I, Ye Chen, must impress you!" He swore silently.
II. The beginning of the assessment
The rules of sect assessment are very simple - prove your strength by defeating other disciples of the same sect. At this time, Ye Chen stood on the assessment platform, and there was a young man in a golden robe in front of him, who was aggressive and looked contemptuous in his eyes.
"Do you really think you can become a genius here?" The man in the golden robe sneered, "Let you see the real talent!"
Ye Chen didn't say much. He held his sword quietly, and his mood was like water. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and the surrounding airflow seemed to be distorted by an invisible force.
The man in the golden robe jumped up with his sword and slashed at Ye Chen fiercely. Everyone thought that Ye Chen would definitely not be able to resist the blow, but something happened to their shock - Ye Chen did not panic, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, and the long sword pointed directly at the man in the golden robe.
"What kind of swordsmanship is this?" The elders in the sect's eyes widened. They had never seen such a direct, sharp and concise swordsmanship. The sword cut out, as if even the air had been cut.
The attack of the man in the golden robe was easily neutralized, and the sword spirit swept away like a wave, shaking his long sword away. The man in the golden robe changed his face. Obviously, he didn't expect that the "waste" in front of him was so powerful.
Next, Ye Chen launched a more fierce attack. The sword was like the wind, as fierce as the wind and rain. Each sword had unquestionable power. The man in the golden robe could not stand it at all. Finally, he was forced back and finally defeated.
This battle made the whole assessment field fall into silence, and everyone couldn't believe their eyes.
"How is this... possible?" A disciple whispered, "He is obviously just a waste. How can he have such a powerful swordsmanship?"
The disciples inside and outside the sect discussed it one after another, but Ye Chen's eyes were always as firm as iron, and he never wavered.
III. Breakthrough and Kendo Understanding
With more and more challenges, Ye Chen's swordsmanship is becoming more and more sophisticated. He didn't use any fancy moves, but just focused on the true meaning of kendo - that is, "break". Each sword can penetrate the opponent's defense and hit the most deadly key.
On this day, the elders of the sect gathered together. They were all discussing Ye Chen's swordsmanship, saying that Ye Chen's swordsmanship was not only unique, but also had potential.
"There are traces of ancient kendo in this swordsmanship. I don't know if it is related to the inheritance of the ancient sword god." An elder said in a tone full of fear.
A trace of enlightenment flashed in another elder's eyes, "Perhaps Ye Chen is really a man of destiny, and the true meaning of kendo may be in his sword."
Ye Chen didn't know all this. He only knew that as the sword of his parents' relics was gradually mastered by himself, his swordsmanship became more and more profound. Every time he swings his sword, he can feel the inheritance of the ancient sword god and the power from ancient times flowing in his body.
"I want to be the strongest swordsman, surpassing my parents and everything!" Ye Chen is unwavering in his heart.
IV. Recognition and challenges of the sect
As Ye Chen continued to defeat all kinds of challengers, he gradually emerged in the sect. The patriarch of the sect also began to pay attention to the teenager and decided to see him in person.
At a sect conference, the patriarch stood on the high platform, looked around the audience, and finally focussed on Ye Chen. Ye Chen, your swordsmanship shocked me. Today, I announce that you will officially become a disciple of the inner sect. The patriarch's voice resounded throughout the audience.
"Inner disciple?" The disciples below were stunned one after another. They thought that Ye Chen's strength was only enough to gain a foothold in the outer door, but they didn't expect to be able to enter the inner door directly, which was simply shocking news.
Ye Chen didn't show much joy. He knew that this was just the beginning, and the real test was still ahead. As his cultivation in the inner door gradually deepens, he will face greater challenges. The outside forces have begun to pay attention to him, and the peace in this sect will also be broken.
V. The advancement of kendo and the rise of challengers
Just as Ye Chen was about to go further, a gust of wind suddenly came from outside, and several powerful monks broke into the sect. These people seem to come with some mysterious purpose, and one of the monks is more calm and powerful. Obviously, he is a top master.
Ye Chen's sword heart suddenly shook. He knew that he would usher in a more severe test.
