Tang Xi was quite surprised by the unprecedented turn in the situation. He was expecting a sudden death after his transmigration for there was no way a mortal could match a cultivator.
"It seems like I only lost my cultivation…."
That was the only plausible explanation for the surge of blood lust. To test his hypothesis, he unstrapped the sword from the side of the assassin.
With his gaze filled with anticipation and desire, he activated his sword intent.
Less than a second later, the whole environment was filled with sword intent. Quite a number of trees were cleanly cut into half by the destructive air around him.
Dropping the weapon on the ground, a satisfied expression crept it's way into his face.
"A hundredth of my sword intent…not to bad for this world" his lips curled into a smile.
With this, he would be able to protect himself for awhile.

Inside the sword God sect which was located thousands of miles away from the forest...
____________________
Many elders of the sect were gathered inside the Sect master compound. Several exclamations and questions filled the air as they broke into an uproar. This also applied to the disciples in various corners of the sect.
Am I dreaming?
No, no…I also heard the Bell of intent ring thrice.
Our sect is going to have another sword master.
Who is that genius with the sword, please come out let's see.
Do you think it will be Song jian?
Nah…it's definitely Wu Chen, he is a talent with the sword.
This was the conversation going all around the sect.
The Bell of intent was a giant bell in the middle of the sect. From the stories that was passed down from the inception of the sect, it was said that the founder brought out the Bell from an ancient ruin.
The Bell would only ring when someone is able to comprehend sword intent which was definitely a rare occurrence.
Suddenly, an elder stepped out of the crowd.
Finally, I Song jian has become a sword master…hehehe" an elder of the sect spoke with a boastful expression on his face.
What did you just say?
Song jian is the sword master!!!!!
Several elders gathered around song jian with excitement clearly draped over their faces like a thick curtain.
The birth of a sword master was a rare circumstance even for the sword God sect. A sword master was such an invaluable assest to the sect and for that reason, The sect master heart was bubbling with vigor.
"Our Sword God sect would soon become the number one of the lower continent"
"We will dominate this continent."
The sect master walked down the corridor and the rest of the elders made way for him.
"Congratulations Song jian"
"Thank you sect master" Song jian clasped his hands together and made a deep bow.
His heart was filled with endless joy seeing how the sect master was congratulating him.
It is definitely good to have a heaven defying talent, to stand out among geniuses.
Without talent, one would be a trash.
The other elders watched with a look of envy on their faces. But what could they do?
Absolutely nothing. It wasn't as if they could become a sword master in that minute.
Heck…,they might not even achieve it in a thousand years.
"How many times did the bell ring?" The sect master questioned.
Silence struck for the span of a few seconds before an elder spoke out from the crowd.
"Four times sect master"
A look of disbelief flashed through the eyes of the sect master and the excitement in his eyes burned with shocking ferocity.
One had to know that the bell was only capable of ringing five times and that had only been achieved by the founder of the sect.
Five rings means one had an absolute comprehension of the way of the sword.
Even the current sect master made the bell ring thrice.
The sect master placed his hand on Song jian's shoulder.
"Most people would die to achieve what you have achieved. Just know that you are a one in a million…" the sect master paused.
"When your cultivation surpasses mine, I would step down as the sect master and hand over the sect to you."
Several gasp rented throughout the crowd. But upon looking at it from a different angle, the sect master's decision was the right one.
With such talent, Song jian would be able to lead the sect to a greater height. The desire to grow stronger swirled around like a tornado in Song jian's mind.
"Thank you sect master, I will not fail you."
"From today, Song jian will become a honorary grand elder of the sect for his talent is above us all; just slightly below our founder."
The crowd began clapping when suddenly…
DONG!!!!
DONG!!!
DONG!!!
(The bell started ringing when Tang Xi activated his sword intent in the forest."
The sound of the Bell of intent resonated through the sect.
Another sword master?
And the Bell sounded thrice?
"I can see the God sword sect rising to it's glory." the sect master thought with a profound look on his face.
Song jian sighed internally and a look of relief flashed through his face for a second.
"Whoever the new sword master is, I'm still above him."
But then his problems began.
DONG!!!
Is this the birth of new sword master or is this the continuation of the last ring?
Definitely the continuation of the last ring.
The entire sect was thrown into an uproar. Two rare talents just appearing on the same day called for celebration.
A slight scowl formed on Song jian's face as a bitter taste found its way into his mouth.
"At least, his talent is on the same level as me" he sighed.
"Stealing my moment of glory are you? don't let me find you." he thought.
DONG!!!
The bell sounded again.
Heck…Song jian felt like pulling out his hairs. Can't you let me enjoy my moment of glory?
He felt weak in the knees.
Biggest face slap of the century.
What the hell is going on?
The throng of flabbergasted elders turned their faces to the sect master who had a solemn look on his face.
Someone whose comprehension of sword art is on the same level as the founder….
Are you for real?
DONG!!!
DONG!!!
DONG!!!
DONG!!!
Even the sect master was stunned. Isn't five times the maximum number of times the bell can ring?
So why the hell are you still ringing? The sect master felt like going crazy.
And the darned bell is still ringing.
Song jian sank to his knees.
"Maybe the bell is broken?" He muttered.
"It's definitely alright" the sect master whispered back yet, he sounded unsure.
The others looked at Song jian with a questioning look on their faces.
Is he the one with a heaven defying talent? The type that appears only once in a million?
You are definitely kidding right?
"Maybe it's going to stop in the next five minutes" an elder commented.
One Hour later….
The heck….
Somebody should silence the damned bell!!!
"Who is this monster?" the sect master cried internally.
