Chapter 104: 104. Breaking away from the vulgar and the purely innocent people
According to the rules of the Heavenly Sword Sect, after a trialist obtains their own sword at Buried Sword Ridge, they can be considered a new entry-level disciple of the sect.
The next step is simply a matter of assignment.
What’s giving Elder Feng Qin a headache now is Fang Zhou, this special fellow. According to past customs, all the tens of thousands of Spirit Swords on Buried Sword Ridge now belong to him.
But both emotionally and logically, it’s impossible for the Heavenly Sword Sect to give all the Spirit Swords to him. Giving him just one doesn’t seem right, and letting him choose freely isn’t appropriate either; no matter the number, it’s a headache.
Elder Feng Qin saw Fang Zhou remaining silent and thought he felt disappointed.
Although she didn’t want to see such a talent disappointed with the Heavenly Sword Sect, Elder Feng Qin still had no authority to make a decision; she could only choose to throw this troublesome matter to the sect’s big shots to solve.
What she didn’t know was that Fang Zhou wasn’t dealing with the issue of disappointment at all; the reason he didn’t dare to speak up was that he was a bit afraid—afraid that the Heavenly Sword Sect would ask him to put all these Spirit Swords back.
Tens of thousands of Spirit Swords, only the devil knows until when he would have to insert them—his Sword Control Technique is just entry-level, quite imprecise, and he couldn’t possibly control that many Spirit Swords to return them the way they came.
So right now, he was playing dead, pretending to be a victim.
However, Elder Feng Qin did not speak the words that Fang Zhou was worried about. Instead, she turned her head to the group of new disciples who were still chattering and said, “Silence, next you will be taken to the sect. Hold your swords tightly; if anyone should accidentally drop theirs on the way, no one else can be blamed.”
Elder Feng Qin’s words drew the new disciples’ attention back, and they subconsciously gripped their Spirit Swords tighter.
