"Congratulations,ZhangQing!"

XuJiahuiwashappyforZhangQing.Beingacceptedasadisciplebytheprotectorisdefinitelyagreatopportunity.

"Hehe..."

ZhangQingchuckledandfeltluckylately.HeclimbeduptothefifthleveloftheHeavenlyStairsandwasalsoacceptedintotheprotector’speak,whichwassomethinghecouldn’timagineinordinarydays.

"ZhangQing,theBattlefieldofTenThousandSwordsisperilousandeverythingcanonlyrelyonyourself.Practicewell!"

Itwasimpossibletoregretanymore.HouChangminghadtoacceptwhatwassaidandadvisedhisnewlyaccepteddisciplewhowastakeninwithoutmuchconsideration.

Feelingthestrengthofthisdisciple,HouChangmingestimatedthatthisdisciplewouldnotbeabletoprotecthimselfintheBattlefieldofTenThousandSwords.Itwouldbegoodifhecouldsurviveandmakeitoutalive.Hopefully,he’llbeabletohonehisskillsandcomeoutstrong.

Assoonashefinishedspeaking,HouChangmingproducedajadebottleandhandedittoZhangQing,saying,"Takethispillincaseofanyemergency."

"Thankyou,master."

ZhangQingwasmoved,tookthejadebottle,whichseemedtocontainmanymedicinalpills.Itwasdifferenttohaveaprotectorasateacherandhefeltfortunatetohavefoundagoodmaster.

"Goahead,forwithintheBattlefieldofTenThousandSwordsliesbothdangerandopportunity,italldependsonyourownluck.AsfortheSword-patternedStone...well,that’suptofate."

HouChangmingentrustedZhangQing,ashewashisowndisciple,thattheBattlefieldofTenThousandSwordscontainsbothdangerandopportunity.

AtthementionoftheSword-patternedStone,HouChangmingimmediatelyfeltthathehadbeenthinkingtoomuch.

ThereareonlyafewSword-patternedStonesinexistence,andwhoeverendsuppossessingonewillhavetobeextraordinarilypowerful.

Withthecultivationstrengthofhisnewlyreceiveddisciple,HouChangmingfeltthathemayhavebeenoverthinking.

"Iknow."

ZhangQingwasveryexcitedandstillimmersedinjoy.

Immediately,SuYi,XuJiahui,andZhangQingleftandalsoenteredtheBattlefieldofTenThousandSwords.

"ItseemsthatweneedtofindtheSword-patternedStone."

SuYimutteredashehadalreadyenteredtheBattlefieldofTenThousandSwords,where,accordingtotherules,theSword-patternedStonewasofgreatimportance.

ThecultivatorsfromtheDivineSwordSchoolhadonlyinvestedalimitednumberofSword-patternedStonesintheentireBattlefieldofTenThousandSwords.Onlysixty-eightdiscipleswhoobtainedthemostSword-patternedStonescouldgoandcompeteatthepinnacleoftheSpiritSwordPeak.

Therefore,themoreSword-patternedStonesyouobtained,thegreatertheopportunitieswouldbe.

Becauseofthis,thosedirectdiscipleswillonlyentertheBattlefieldofTenThousandSwordshalfamonthlater.Withthestrengthofdirectdisciples,iftheyenteratthesametime,thechancesofinnerandouterdisciplesfindingtheSword-patternedStoneswillbezero.

SuYidoesn’tnecessarilyhavetoobtainthoseSword-patternedStones,butinthefinalpeakduel,thetop16rankedindividualswillreceiveunparalleledbenefitsandsubstantialrewardsfromtheDivineSwordSchool,whichiswhatSuYidesires.

Sincehe’salreadyintheDivineSwordSchool,hecannotmissoutonsuchunparalleledbenefitsandsubstantialrewards.

"Theremustbeaproblem,thereisdefinitelyaproblem!"

IntheBattlefieldofTenThousandSwords,outsidetheotherspaceportal,thetallandthinprotectorandtheslightlychubbyprotectorwerecompletelyastonished.

Atotalofovertenthousandouterdiscipleswalkedoutoftheportal,leavingthetwoprotectorsdumbfoundedandspeechless.

Inthepast,itwasalreadygoodenoughforhundredsofpeopletowalkout,butthistime,itwasovertenthousandpeople.HalfoftheouterdiscipleshadascendedtothefourthleveloftheHeavenlyStairs.Whatkindofconceptisthis?Arealltheouterdisciplessoextraordinaryinthisgeneration?

However,whatthetwoprotectorsdidn’tknowwasthatagroupofstrongDivineSwordSchoolcultivatorsaroundtheHeavenlyStairswerealsostunned.
