Under Quintina’s gaze, James entered the cave once more.
After he entered the cave, he stood two meters away from the divine sword. The sword’s aura was potent, and its Sword Energy was savage. James felt like his body was being scorched by fire.
Quintina followed him into the cave again. Seeing that James could stand unscathed close to the sword, she found herself murmuring. “This guy doesn’t seem that weak after all. He can actually withstand the Sword Intent within this cave.”
James stood still, and a vigorous Spiritual Power came from within the Celestial Abode. It communed with the divine sword and forcefully snatched the sword technique recorded within it
A fiery red light sank into James’ forehead.
At that moment, James’ head was filled with massive amounts of information.
It was a complete set of swordsmanship skills, including the cultivation method and the sword techniques.
The information felt like it had been branded by hot iron into James’ mind.
Since the sword glowed with a red light, Quintina did not catch the small red light that melded into James’ forehead.
A few seconds later, James turned around and left.
Quintina glanced at the sword and did not linger any further, quickly leaving the cave.
Along the way, James encountered a few more stone caves that were a short distance away from each other. Divine swords rested within these caves. With Sophie’s help, James mentally acquired these various techniques.
However, he did not have the time to comprehend or practice them right now.
The Ancient Clan’s Mound of Sabers was immense.
Following the canyon’s natural route, James could feel some pressure bearing down on him from the atmosphere. Luckily for him, it was still tolerable.
In less than a day, he reached the canyon’s exit.
During the entire time he was there, he obtained all the sword techniques from the swords stored in the Mound of Sabers. In total, there were about 108 sets of sword techniques.
He did not complete the first trial particularly quickly. Dozens of people had already passed through the Mound of Sabers by the time he reached the end.
After walking out of the Mound of Sabers, he waited patiently.
He sat in a lotus position with his eyes closed and reviewed the 108 sword techniques stored in his mind.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Out of the 3,000 participants, only a hundred or so passed through the Mound of Sabers safely, and the rest were eliminated from the competition.
The large arena on Mount Trinvard’s main peak was about 10,000 meters wide and was surrounded by a protective formation in the form of a mysterious circle of light.
At that moment, the hundred or so young people who passed through the Mound of Sabers were standing in the arena. Thoryn stood in the front and explained the rules, “The next challenge is very simple. It’s a one-on-one battle. The winner advances to the next round until the top 10 contestants are determined. The way you’ll be matched up is also equally as simple. Participants will be divided into two groups, and you may freely choose your opponents from the opposing group.
“If you win against your chosen opponent from your first match, you won’t be able to choose. your opponent for the next match. Instead, you’ll have to wait to be challenged by someone else.
“Everyone clear?”
“Yessir!”
A neat and loud response came from the participants.
The hundred or so participants randomly lined up and formed two rows.
Thoryn said, “First, the group on the left will choose an opponent from the opposite side. going down the line.”
James noticed he was the first person in the line on the left side.
“We’ll start with you.” Thoryn’s voice resounded.
James returned to his senses and looked at the group of people opposite him.
He noticed those on the other side were all powerful people.
Among them were Quintina and a Grand Supernatural from Divinity Sect. James learned that his name was Harold Carmelo.
Loki Xabi, the Infernal Emperor’s disciple, was also on the opposite side.
Emperor Tamerlan’s disciple, Demetrius Lev, also stood amongst the opposing crowd.
Yoan had specifically pointed out these people to him. They were all extremely formidable and were likely going to be in the top ten in the next Grand Tournament.
James frowned as he spotted them in the opposite group.
He would definitely have to fight one of them in the competition’s final rounds.
Seeing James take a long time to choose an opponent, Thoryn frowned and urged him, What’re you blanking out for? Hurry up.”
At the sound of his voice, James finally came back to his senses.
