An Unusual Guest

"Could it really be?! Can he actually use Sword Will?!" a sect elder exclaimed, rising to his feet, disbelief etched across his face.

Several other elders stood up as well, equally stunned. Though they didn't want to believe it, they had all witnessed the event with their own eyes. To deny that Su Yang possessed Sword Will now would require another explanation—but none of them could think of one.

And yet, the notion that a mere disciple of the Boundless Yin Yang Sect could wield Sword Will—a power even sword sect elites struggled to grasp—was too far-fetched to accept. It defied logic, experience, and everything they believed to be true.

Unfortunately, since nobody was a swordmaster in the sect, they could not confirm Su Yang's abilities by themselves. 

Meanwhile, on the stage, Yun Xiao Hong hurriedly swallowed a recovery pill, desperate to stabilize himself despite it being a clear violation of the rules.
