Chapter 6

The young man in purple was at the second stage of the Pulse Condensation Realm, which placed him at an average level among the participants. He wielded a broadsword, twice as wide as a regular long sword, and the blade was also relatively thick, belonging to the category of heavy swords.

"Mountain Splitting Sword!" The young man in purple gripped the sword with both hands, leaned forward, and used all his strength to slash at the Bamboo Forest Guard.

With a loud boom, the powerful strike was easily dodged by the Bamboo Forest Guard. The broadsword struck the ground, creating a large crack.

The strike was powerful but slow. As the young man in purple retracted his sword, the Bamboo Forest Guard's green bamboo sword stabbed out like lightning, hitting his right shoulder and sending him flying.

Seeing the young man in purple, who was at the second stage of the Pulse Condensation Realm, lose, the faces of the young men at the first stage of the Pulse Condensation Realm changed repeatedly. Many of them began to consider withdrawing.

Lin Xuan did not rush to act. He wanted to observe the Bamboo Forest Guard further. A voice rang out from the crowd: "We'll go!"

A man and a woman stepped forward. The man was handsome and tall, and the woman was beautiful. They had a slight resemblance, suggesting they were siblings.

"Sister, you support me," the young man said.

The two of them, using their swords in tandem, engaged the Bamboo Forest Guard. Their two steel swords worked together, quickly breaking through the Bamboo Forest Guard's defenses.

Clang!

The young man's sword blade grazed the Bamboo Forest Guard's body, leaving a shallow sword mark. It had to be said, the Bamboo Forest Guard's defense was extremely formidable.

The young man was slightly stunned, seemingly not expecting the Bamboo Forest Guard's defense to be so strong. At that moment, the green bamboo sword was already in front of him.

Clang! The young woman timely intervened, defusing the lethal move. After that, the Bamboo Forest Guard's attacks were all intercepted by the young woman, while the young man focused on full-force attacks.

Finally, after thirty rounds, the young man beheaded the Bamboo Forest Guard, passing the test smoothly.

After that, some people passed the test through group cooperation, but more people were defeated by the Bamboo Forest Guard's sword.

Through these observations, Lin Xuan also learned some information: the more people in a team, the more Bamboo Forest Guards would participate.

For a trio, there were two Bamboo Forest Guards, and for a quintet, there were three Bamboo Forest Guards. However, these Bamboo Forest Guards were all emerald green. The ones with red spots and golden lines never participated.

It seems those two are more advanced puppets, Lin Xuan thought.

Most people in the field had already been tested. Lin Xuan did not intend to wait any longer and stepped forward with his sword.

Seeing it was Lin Xuan, the disciple accompanying the sect hurriedly whispered a few words to the young man in charge, who smiled.

Lin Xuan's heart tightened; that smile seemed anything but well-intentioned. Sure enough, a Bamboo Forest Guard with red spots walked out, facing Lin Xuan from a distance.

The momentum of this red-spotted Bamboo Forest Guard was completely different from the previous ones. The speed of his sword strikes was more than twice as fast, and each strike forced Lin Xuan to respond with all his might.

If it were anyone else, they would have been defeated long ago. Only someone like Lin Xuan, with a special aptitude for sword techniques, could hold out.

"This is definitely a deliberate move against me," Lin Xuan thought as he deflected the Bamboo Forest Guard's bamboo sword, feeling somewhat annoyed.

In the distance, two figures were hidden in the shadows, watching the scene.

"Is this the disciple with exceptional talent you mentioned?" a handsome young man asked with a smile.

"Yes, he has a unique understanding of sword techniques, a rare genius," Tang Yu said.

"Genius or not, he still needs to grow. This guy has already provoked a strong enemy before even entering the sect, and they've sent out a Red Bamboo Guard. We'll see how he handles this," the handsome young man said.

At that moment, the red-spotted Bamboo Forest Guard raised his sword high, a red glow emanating from the blade, blindingly bright. With a swing of his arm, the sword shot out like a rainbow, enveloping Lin Xuan.

"This is a sword technique!" someone in the crowd exclaimed.

A sword technique is a lethal move in sword techniques, powerful and devastating. For example, Lin Xuan's meteor-like sword technique is a type of sword technique.

"This person must have offended someone to have such a powerful Bamboo Forest Guard sent against him. This strike, even a fourth-stage Pulse Condensation Realm Spirit Warrior might not be able to withstand it."

The disciples from the noble families who were hostile to Lin Xuan cheered, hoping he would be cut down by the sword.

"The weakness of the Bamboo Forest Guard is its head; I assume this red-spotted Bamboo Forest Guard is no different," Lin Xuan did not retreat. He gripped the black iron sword tightly and charged forward.

The sword light flashed, like a meteor falling from the sky, leaving a brilliant trail of sword light.

Swoosh!

Lin Xuan rushed forward four to five meters, kneeling on one knee, with blood dripping from his shoulder. The head of the red-spotted Bamboo Forest Guard rolled on the ground, leaving only a headless body standing still.

Everyone was silent.

The young man in charge seemed to be surprised by this outcome, his brows furrowed, and he stared at Lin Xuan with an unfriendly expression.

At that moment, a delicate voice rang out: "Lin Xuan, well done."

The young man turned around and saw Tang Yu walking over with a smile, and beside her was a handsome young man who kept his eyes on Lin Xuan.

Seeing Tang Yu and the others appear, the young man knew he could not do anything further today.

Unexpectedly, the handsome young man spoke first: "Where did you learn this sword technique?"

"From the Taihang Mountains," Lin Xuan casually made up an answer. The young man's tone was like he was interrogating a criminal, which made him uncomfortable.

"What is it called?" the handsome young man asked.

Lin Xuan looked at the young man and said seriously: "Meteor from the Heavens."

"Meteor from the Heavens?" No one present had heard of this name and stared at Lin Xuan curiously, hoping he would explain further.

However, Lin Xuan had no such intention. He stood to the side, waiting for the test to end.

"Lin Xuan, join our Combat Group," Tang Yu said.

The Xuantian Sect had countless disciples, and many small groups had formed. The Combat Group was one of the more famous ones.

"Our Divine Might Group also welcomes you, Junior Brother," the young man in charge suddenly said.

The young man's attitude left many of his disciples stunned, but no one dared to say anything, even the disciple who had whispered to him earlier looked bewildered.

Lin Xuan bowed and smiled: "Thank you, Senior Brothers, I will consider it."

Seeing Lin Xuan's response, they could not say anything more and could only wait for the test to end.

Lin Xuan's face was expressionless, but he was somewhat worried. It was clear that the handsome young man and the young man in charge were interested in his sword technique, otherwise, they would not have reacted that way.

"It seems life in the Outer Sect won't be peaceful," Lin Xuan sighed. He would not hand over this sword technique.

Finally, the test ended, and thirteen people passed.

"Congratulations on joining the Xuantian Sect's Outer Sect. I will take you to collect the basic items for Outer Sect disciples. From now on, you can live here."

The young man in charge led everyone away. At that moment, the handsome young man suddenly said: "Hold on!"
