Chapter 640: “Chapter 640: Doubt”

Song Jian hadn’t learned the Qingyun Sword Skill in three years, and the three examiners had known it long ago. But now it seemed that Li Guiqing had misunderstood that Song Jian didn’t disdain the Qingyun Sword Skill and was unwilling to learn.

However, what they didn’t know was that Song Jian had never learned the Qingyun Sword Skill at all. Seeing Li Guiqing hand over his own cultivation experience, Song Jian respectfully took it with both hands and thanked him.

Song Jian’s attitude made Li Guiqing feel very satisfied. He nodded with a smile and stroked his long beard lightly.

“Alright, the test is over. You should go back and rest now. Take a good wash, the smell of blood on you is too strong.” Li Guiqing laughed, “Come to the Qingyun Hall tomorrow, the Sect Leader and the elders of the sword sect will personally assess you. If you catch their attention and become their personal disciple, you will soar to the heavens in one step.”

“Yeah, perform well during that time!” Wang Hai laughed heartily.

“I’m rooting for you!” Qin Hua smiled, covering her mouth, an enchanting expression on her face.

After exchanging pleasantries with them for a while and obtaining their contact information, Song Jian smiled and watched the three leave.

After the test, Song Jian didn’t go straight back to his lodgings. Instead, he headed towards the mission tower to collect the reward for exterminating the Blackwind Village, which he had not claimed yet.

As the Blackwind Village had not been eliminated for a long time, the reward for this mission had been constantly increasing. It had now reached a level that even official swordmasters were envious of.

Seeing Song Jian, who was covered in blood, enter the room, even Wang Dafu, who was sunbathing outside the mission tower, was startled.

“You really destroyed the Blackwind Village?” Wang Dafu asked in amazement.

“The leader of Blackwind Village’s head is right here!” Song Jian raised the cloth bag and said.

“Good, good, good!” Wang Dafu exclaimed three times, his face full of admiration, “I didn’t expect it, but you really soared to the skies after three years of silence, stunning everyone!”

“Hehe, thank you, thank you.” Song Jian cupped his hands in gratitude, handed over the cloth bag, and said, “Please, Manager, check it!”

For such an important task, ordinary disciples definitely had no qualifications to check the mission item, only the manager could do so.

Wang Dafu opened the cloth bag, glanced at the bloody head inside, nodded, and said, “Alright, leave it here. If there are no issues in three days, the mission reward will be given to you!”

For such an important mission, they naturally couldn’t just rely on a bloody head. The sword sect would send someone to Blackwind Mountain for a detailed investigation.

Song Jian nodded and left the mission tower.

“This kid…” Wang Dafu shook his head and said, “I never expected that I, Wang Dafu, would misjudge someone. This useless mud can actually turn into a gem!”

When it was known that Song Jian had single-handedly defeated the remaining 999 people in the disciple’s test, it caused a commotion among the inner court disciples.

…

The disciple assessment of the Qingyun Sword Sect was not only for the odd-job disciples, but the inner court disciples as well. At the end of the day, when all assessments were completed, the information of the outstanding disciples was immediately sent to the Sect Leader and all elders.

In the main hall of the Qingyun Sword Sect, a middle-aged man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, who appeared to be in his thirties, was carefully reading the data in his hands.

The other elders were also sitting together, going through the information of outstanding disciples from the test, to see if they could find some good seeds to accept as personal disciples.

“Song Jian, the only winning disciple among the odd-job disciples?” An elder with white hair held Song Jian’s information in his hand, looking very interested.

“Oh, odd-job disciple? Isn’t it that they should take the top three every year? How come there’s only one qualified this year?” Another elder asked curiously.

“Hehe, he single-handedly beat the other 999 participants, so he was the only one who came out on top!”

“Eh, that’s interesting, let me look at his information. What’s his name, Song Jian?”

The elders began searching among the information in their hands and pulled out Song Jian’s information.

“This disciple is quite interesting, he hasn’t even learned the Qingyun Sword Technique in three years. But in just three days, he exterminated the entire Blackwind Village. I heard that the leaders are quite strong, especially the main leader; even I wouldn’t dare to say that I could definitely defeat him!”

“The difference in strength displayed before and after, isn’t it too disparate? Could it be…” Elder Zhao hesitated.

“It shouldn’t be, look at the evaluation below. This disciple has extraordinary talent, and seems to have sword intent in his gestures. His moves are natural and flawless, without any hint of artificiality. He’s like a piece of jade, with great potential!” An elder pointed at Li Guiqing’s evaluation and said, “Obviously, he doesn’t know any sword skills or other abilities. Which of the invaders from the other world doesn’t possess strange skills or sword techniques we’ve never seen before?”

“Let’s send someone to check the battle traces at the Blackwind Village first. If there’s no problem, let him join the inner court.” The Sect Leader pondered for a moment and said.

“Ahem, by exterminating the Blackwind Village, he has earned the reward of becoming an inner court disciple.” An elder reminded.

“Well, since that’s the case…” Sect Leader Liu Qingyun looked at the other elders and smiled, “Any of you elders willing to accept this disciple as a personal disciple?”

“Sect Leader, his identity hasn’t been investigated yet. What if he’s an invader from another world…” An elder frowned.

“Yes, his combat power is suspicious. It’s hard to believe that one person could destroy an entire Blackwind Village!”

“What’s so unbelievable about it? The test evaluations stated that the disciple had a hint of sword intent. Isn’t it normal for a disciple with sword intent to defeat enemies of a higher level?”

“Let’s investigate it first. Otherwise, it will make people feel uneasy!”

“Well, let’s investigate it first. If there’s no problem, I’m interested in him!”

“Sword intent… it’s really hard to believe. I don’t know what kind of sword intent he has comprehended, if it is…”

“Elder Hong, you’re overthinking it. With his current age, it’s most likely that he’s only touched the threshold of sword intent. To form a true sword intent of his own is simply impossible. There are not many geniuses like our Sect Leader in this world who can do that!”

…

While the Qingyun Sword Sect’s higher-ups were discussing, Song Jian was in his room reading through Li Guiqing’s “Detailed Explanation of Qingyun Sword Technique” which was given to him. In addition to the complete Qingyun Sword Skill, it also contained Li Guiqing’s experience with every move and every form. This was a formal swordmaster’s experience; it could not only allow people to quickly understand the Qingyun Sword Skill but also guide their future sword path. Its value was immeasurable.

After browsing through the entire booklet, Song Jian suddenly saw a golden light in front of him, and the system prompt followed;
