The entrance examination for newly recruited disciples of Sword Tomb had ended two days ago.
Over a hundred people participated in the three trials of entry, and ultimately, thirty people successfully passed and became outer sect disciples of Sword Tomb. Even Xie Tian, who had topped the second trial and thus had earned the status of an inner sect disciple, ended up only as an outer sect disciple.
Mu Liang and others were surprised and confused, but it wasn't long before they learned from a senior outer sect brother that Xie Tian had destroyed the Sword Pool during the third trial and forcibly resisted the formation of the Sword Character. If not for the timely plea of Li Jian, who had just returned, Xie Tian would have already been executed.
The twenty-nine newcomers did not quite understand the significance of the Sword Character formation, but, after an explanation from their seniors, they immediately acquired a clearer insight.
