Chapter 13: Breaking Records – The First Sword Peak Disciple in 1,000 Years
---
After choosing Soaring Blade Peak, Han Ye stood before the towering Sword Peak Trial Formation—a grand stone gateway engraved with ancient sword runes, emanating a sharp and fierce aura.
The elder overseeing the trial, Elder Jian Chen, an old yet powerful swordsman, stepped forward. His piercing gaze swept over the new disciples.
"To enter Soaring Blade Peak, you must pass the Sword Peak Trial Formation. Only those with true sword potential may set foot on our sacred mountain!"
The elder waved his hand, activating the formation.
A blazing sword intent erupted from the stone gateway, shaking the heavens as a phantom sword realm manifested around them. The other disciples shuddered, their knees weakening under the pressure.
Han Ye took a deep breath.
His heart pounded with anticipation as he stepped into the Sword Peak Trial Formation—
And his world changed.

Trial 1: The Sword Phantom Battlefield
The moment Han Ye entered, the sky turned dark, and he found himself surrounded by dozens of sword phantoms. Each phantom carried a different sword style—some fast as lightning, some steady as mountains, some graceful like flowing rivers.
A cold, mechanical voice echoed in the air:
"Overcome the Hundred Swordsmen of the Ancient Sword Dao!"
Without hesitation, Han Ye drew his sword. His eyes sharpened.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
His blade moved with precision as he clashed against the first wave of sword phantoms. Each opponent tested a different aspect of swordsmanship—speed, strength, footwork, and adaptability.
Sweat trickled down Han Ye's forehead, but his fighting spirit soared.
After half an hour—
The final phantom fell!
The formation shook as the sword energy within it acknowledged Han Ye's skill.
"Trial One – Passed!"

Trial 2: Sword Intent Awakening
Han Ye barely had time to breathe before the second trial began.
This time, he was placed inside a vast field filled with floating swords, their tips aimed at him.
A voice rang out:
"Only those who comprehend Sword Intent may proceed."
Han Ye took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
He recalled every battle he had fought, every swing of his sword, every duel he had endured. The memory of those moments resonated deep within his soul.
Then—
BOOM!
A powerful Sword Intent exploded from his body!
The floating swords trembled and then shattered, bowing before his might.
"Trial Two – Passed!"

Trial 3: The Sword Dao Monument
Han Ye now stood before a towering Sword Dao Monument, where the names of the greatest sword geniuses in history were engraved.
A radiant golden light pulsed at the top, representing the last disciple to pass this trial 1,000 years ago.
"To pass, you must leave your mark on the monument!"
Han Ye gritted his teeth.
He had no great background, no legendary inheritance, no cheat system—but he had his own perseverance!
He stepped forward, lifting his sword. A sharp, unwavering aura surged from his body.
Then—
SLASH!
His blade sliced forward, releasing a golden sword arc that struck the monument with immense force!
The monument trembled violently, and the golden light at the top suddenly cracked—
Then—
BOOOOM!
A new golden name appeared on the monument—
HAN YE!
The entire trial formation shook, and an ancient voice echoed across the Sword Peak—
"A new First Disciple has been born after 1,000 years!"

Becoming the First Disciple in 1,000 Years
Outside the trial formation, Elder Jian Chen and the gathered disciples were waiting.
Suddenly—
BOOM!
The sky roared with golden sword energy, and the Sword Peak released a divine light!
Elder Jian Chen's eyes widened. "Impossible… Could it be—?!"
The next moment, Han Ye walked out of the trial formation, his sword still buzzing with lingering energy.
Silence.
Then—
A deafening uproar erupted!
"He—he passed all three trials?!"
"Not just that! The Sword Dao Monument only reacts like this when someone sets a new record!"
Elder Jian Chen walked up to Han Ye, his expression serious.
"Young man, kneel before the Sword Peak Ancestral Tablet."
Han Ye knelt respectfully.
With a solemn voice, Elder Jian Chen declared:
"From this moment onward, Han Ye shall be the First Disciple of Soaring Blade Peak—the first in 1,000 years!"
The disciples gasped in disbelief, and Luo Xin and Luo Jin's eyes shone with pride.
Han Ye's heart pounded.
First Disciple in 1,000 years?
