All over the Sword Gate in the Divine Palace Sect, thousands of disciples gathered in a vast arena. It was the Arena of the Trial of the Sword.
Ever since its construction, it had only been used three times, with the last instance occurring 12 years ago when a Core disciple molested a fellow female disciple.
Back then, the Sword Gate Master wanted to sever his head from his body, but she was cautioned against it. Instead, she punished him through the challenge of the Sword Trial.
He lasted only seven matches before his head was cut off. However, due to the special formation in the arena that prevented death, when he reappeared outside, she administered the same punishment as she had to the two before him.
His cultivation was crippled, and he was expelled.
The Gate Master, a Level 8 Root Transcendent, is the second strongest in the Sect and highly skilled with the sword. Therefore, for her to punish Kent was a matter to be taken seriously.
