The competition continued as more and ore students ended up failing, there was only 3 people who had passed so far out of the 10 which had taken it..
The techniques were mostly flashy and barely anyone paid attention to the martial art techniques themselves..
Of course there were exceptions, some were able to execute very profound martial arts which caused the elder to praise them..
The others were envious as they remembered the scene of the outer-disciples carrying water, they would definitely have to do it until they became inner-sect disciples..
More and more students went up, but barely any were able to meet the requirements of the elders, only 15% of the 100 people here would be free from carrying water, while the rest were doomed to do it until they could become inner-disciples, no one knew how hard it was to become an inner disciple, so the atmosphere became even more intense.
.....
Soon it was li fan's turn, he walked up to the stage calmly with his left hand on his sword handle...
He turned to face the crowd of outer-disciples and let out a heavy breath, in that instant his sword was like a ferocious striking snake as he pulled it out instantly...
Many people got bored as they arched his techniques, they couldn't find anything special, Li fan himself hadn't used any flashy techniques and was just randomly swinging his sword around..
15 seconds went by and another sword dropped into his hands from the air...
"Oh, two swords?" The crowd began to exclaim in shock, two swords weren't very common, most martial artists only used one sword, or a different weapon overall..
Li fan's sword strikes begs to increase in speed as time went by, causing many faxes of admiration from the crowd..
"Damn, to master two swords, this is a true sword genius" a youth said as he looked down at his own sword strapped to his waist, he felt really inferior to Li fan..
"What martial art skill is that?" Another youth said as he looked at the stage, it was as if lotuses were dancing in the wind and a huge blizzard storm was currently ongoing right in front of them..
"F*ck me, another sword?" Someone couldn't hold back anymore and shouted as he noticed another sword dropping from the air, even the elder could help but raise his eyebrows and momentarily stop stroking his long white beard..
"This lad" the elder said with a smile, as if he had found a treasure...
Li fan's head was like a turtle striking out of its shell as his teeth bit tightly on the sword as it fell from the air...
He held two swords in his hands in an "x" shape while another sword in his mouth, he was like a vicious beast with no opening and many striking options..
"F*ck, it's nearly impossible to hit him, and he can also strike from 3 positions" some older outer sect disciples couldn't help but praise Li fan, his three-swords style gave his opponents no room to attack and could also give his opponents a hard time, imagine being attack by three swords at the same time..
Li fan's three swords were like a spinning wheel as his swords became mirages, even arrows would find it hard tryin to reach him..
Swoosh!!
Thirty seconds went by as Li fan's aura bursted out, he executed the lunar-wave sword art to the maximum and his three swords seemed to illuminate with a slight moonlight-like glow.
...
"Holy sh*t, he is using three swords?, can he use 4 in the future" a skinny youth said as his face became pale from shock..
"F*ck off, 4 swords my ass, what's he gonna hold it with?, his butt cheeks?" A bulky middle-aged man said, he nearly threw up blood as he heard that..
"You never know, maybe he can master the control of his butt.." another youth said in a "matter of fact" tone..
"If he can control a 4th sword with his hand, I will eat beast sh*t in front of the whole sect" a middle-aged man heard their words and couldn't hold it anymore, who in the world could control a sword using their ass cheeks, even if they could no one would dare do it, just imagine if the sword got pushed far enough, then that person would either die or experience lots of pain, or even be traumatized for life..
....
"Amazing" the elder said softly and smiled, he stroked his beard so hard that he nearly ripped it off his chin, he calmed down and stared intently at Li fan with a bright smile..
"I found a gem, but even so with his talent he would definitely be taken by either the sect master of the grand elder in the future, I better not compete with those old monsters" the elder sighed lightly as he looked at Li fan, he felt as If he had aged many centuries as he thought about this genius leaving his hands..
"Hahah, it seems like the ancestral sect masters are blessing our immortal sect in heaven" the old elder laughed as he flicked around his horsetail whisk, he gave off the aura of a elderly immortal as he watched Li fan, even with his old age he seemed to be no less lively then those younger outer sect disciples..
Li fan who was busy showcasing his martial arts to the fullest nearly threw up blood and collapsed as he heard the disciples talking about the "4th sword" he never even thought about it, and plus how would he even control it with his ass cheeks, plus it would look so wrong..
Li fan released a cold breath as he calmed down and stopped moving after exactly 1 minute had passed exactly..
He was shocked as the outer disciple roared into applause and clapped for him, of course some were cold towards Li fan, they didn't give him an eye even while knowing he was leaps and bounds above them..
