Chapter 110: The Discussion Continue

"Look over there! Young Master Qian is advancing so fast!" 

"He really is formidable… fortunately he didn't let down his talent. With his capability, he might reach the fourth gate soon. Or even the fifth gate."

Qian Bu Yu became the center of attention after he passed the first round with the highest talent. The spectators were eager to know how far he would go.

As the second round progressing, many examinees arrived at the second gate's platform full of wounds and their clothes tattered.

"This round is actually really difficult. Some examinees failed to pass the second gate and faint. What a pity."

"Why do they suddenly get wounded after reaching the gate?" a clueless cultivator expressed her curiosity.

"They are assaulted by the sword intents that coming from the sword mark on the gate's surface. It was said that the sword marks were left there by the founder of Heaven Sword Sect and many prominent sword grandmasters who graduated from the sect. It is even deadlier than invincible attack because you'll never be able to avoid sword intents, you can only block it."

"Wow. So powerful…" 

"Of course, only a Sword Grandmaster can manifest a sword intent from a sword mark."

Many people's eyes fixed to the sword mark and kept looking at it with yearning.

The second round has been progressing for quite some time. Most of the examinees had left the beginning spot of the second round.

Only four people still loitering near the bottommost stair.

"Hey, there are people who have yet to start climbing the stone stairs. Look at that girl, isn't that Fairy Meng?"

"The Twins from Mt. Luo are also not stepping on the stair yet. What are they doing?"

Many people were puzzled by their actions. Were they that confident they could get a good result so they waste their time there? Or was there any deeper meaning to their action?

Aside from Meng Qi and The Qi Twins, the last person also attracting a lot of attention.

"Look there, the fourth person is the girl who made a bet with Young Master Qian!"

"What do you think she is going to do? Is she want to forfeit the match? Or she get something on her sleeve?"

"If you ask me, who I'm going to ask?"

The spectators couldn't fathom what was going on in the head of the four girls who were yet to move from the initial spot.

Several minutes later the four girls that remained in the starting spot gathered at the first stair seemingly talking about something. 

"Hmm, it seems like those girls have something to do with each other. What are they planning to do?"

The crowds couldn't hear what happened inside the examination area so they only making some conjectures. 

"They finally start climbing!"

The spectator was astonished by the speed of the four girls clearing the first set of stairs and successfully arrive at the first game. 

Excluding Snowy, the girls didn't linger in the first gate and dashed into the second gate.

Snowy rooted on the platform, seemingly fell in a daze.

"Wow, They are as fast as Young Master Qian! But why the betting girl stop in the first gate?"

"Is she finally can't hold in? But it is only the first gate. Is she really that weak?"

"I don't think so look at her body, it is still fine! Other examinees look in a sorry state but she is untouched. How can she do it?"

Many spectators were attracted by Snowy's peculiarity and scrutinized her from head to toe in the hope that they could see through Snowy mysterious means.

"Something seems to repel the sword intent around her body, what's going on?" One person noticed that unlike the rest of the examinees, for some reason, the sword intents apparently were not forming around Snowy.

"Is she wearing some treasure on her body? Is it allowed?"

"Of course not, if she does that she will automatically be disqualified from the examination in an attempt to cheat. I don't think she is bold enough to do that. Maybe.... she has a special constitution?" said one of the experts, not confident.

The other expert who carefully observed her from the first round mockingly said, "She only had a mortal-rank physique. What kind of mortal-rank physique do you think can be that awesome?"

"Then how she do it?"

They had been speculating about the method Snowy used to deal with the sword intents. Many of the experts arrive at the same conclusion, one answer that those experts didn't dare to believe. If their guess was correct, this matter was truly mindblowing.

Lin Ming and Zi Ling who were really close to the boundary of swordmaster also thought of the same answer with many experts.

And just like the others, they didn't dare to believe it.

"Does Snowy have already manifested her sword intent?" Lin Ming's hand trembled and his throat somehow felt a little bit dry. 

"Hmm. Yes, she did," Feng Xue casually answered.

"Really?! That means she… she is already a sword grandmaster?!" Lin Ming gasp, the more he heard about this girl, the more miraculous her presence seemed to be.

Seeing Lin Ming's silly expression Feng Xue could not help but sneer, "What is surprising about it? First Brother, you should not be surprised by every little thing you see, more so if the one we talk about is Snowy. We can't measure her with normal means. Snowy was already a swordmaster when she was only a Qi Refining cultivator, so what is surprising about her being a Sword Grandmaster in Qi Transformation stage?"

"Her talent in sword dao is unparallel, even I am not capable to manifest my sword intent yet. Suddenly your statement about her passing all the nine gates doesn't seem like groundless boasting anymore." Zi Ling, albeit reluctantly, must acknowledge that in the aspect of Sword Dao attainment, Snowy was far more talented than she was.

"She is Snowy after all. Senior Sister Zi, you will quickly use to something like this in the future."

More and more eyes attracted to Snowy. She instantly became the center of attention. Her performance so far exceeding the crowds' expectations. She suddenly became the biggest black horse among the examinees.

Because no one pay much attention to her earlier, they didn't even remember who her name was. So they gave her a nickname that conveniently suited her current situation.

"The betting girl has left the second gate and move toward the third gate! Her speed is very fast. She is going to catch up with Young Master Qian in no time!"

"Wow, the betting girl is hiding her ability so deeply. It seems that she is not as simple as she looks."

"Damn, the betting girl is awesome! The others look like a beggar after reaching the third gate but she is still clean and neat. She didn't look like trying at all. Who can tell me what's going on here?"

Snowy became more and more incredible in their eyes. 

Some people complimented her extraordinary willpower despite ordinary talent. Some people saw her as a diamond in the mud.

They seemed to forget that no one believe she could win against Qian Bu Yu in this round before.

Only one person looked at Snowy like seeing a ghost.

Qian Qingruo's complexion turned pale her eyes filled with doubt and fear.

"No, no, no she must be cheating! That bitch must be cheating! I must show people her true color!"

Before she could calmly think of a plan to deal with Snowy, Qian Qingruo was startled by the next event.

"Hey, the betting girl is starting to move! Look there, Young Master Qian is stumbling halfway through the 4th stair set. Can she catch up with him?"

The crowds watched her every move with the utmost attention. They didn't want to miss the action of the girl who suddenly became the apple of the eyes in this examination.

They saw Snowy move forward, one step by one step unhurriedly. It was not that she was hindered by the suppression in that path oppositely she seemed deliberately moving at that pace.

"Huh, why is she standing still behind Young Master Qian? It looks like she does not want to overtake him even though she obviously can do it."

Expert and ordinary people alike, pondering the same question over and over.

A cultivator thought about it from a different perspective, suddenly her shoulder shuddered, and looked at Snowy like she was a monster.

"That girl is really frightening! She only moves when Young Master Qian moves. It was her deliberate attempt to make Young Master Qian feeling psychological pressure. That girl is so scary!"

It was not only him who finally understood what she was trying to do, many experts and experienced cultivators were already seeing through this scheme and made them viewed Snowy in a different light.

This girl wasn't a naive and clueless girl like they had thought before. 

She was a ruthless person with a ruthless mean. This was the kind of person they couldn't afford to offend in the future.

All people start to take note of Snowy so that their family members didn't accidentally offend her and died without knowing why they die.
