Chapter 639: Chapter 639: The First Person in the Assessment


    Song Jian held a wooden sword and charged towards a group of fifty to sixty people. In the eyes of many, this was tantamount to suicide. After all, Song Jian’s demonstrated strength hadn’t yet reached a level where he could ignore such numbers.


    Song Jian’s dismissive attitude angered the remaining disciples, who swung their swords and charged at him in rage; even those who were initially intimidated by his strength.


    “He’s underestimating us, this guy who hasn’t even mastered the Qingyun Sword Skill in three years. How dare he look down on us!”


    “Yes, let’s surround him. I think his stamina is almost exhausted. Let’s immobilize him first!”


    Dozens of people attacked Song Jian simultaneously. Some even threw their wooden swords away and lunged at him, arms wide open, trying to pin him down.


    At this point, Song Jian couldn’t even muster a tenth of hisbat power. Almost all of his skills were unusable, his equipment unshowable. Even his physical attributes were suppressed. It was like he was fighting this group with chains wrapped around him.


    In this SS-ranked trial world, he wasn’t the first yer to enter. During his battle with the ck Wind chieftain, he was quickly recognized by his opponent.


    The initially retreating chieftain, once discovering that Song Jian was not of their world, became frenzied. In the end, he attempted a murder-suicide. Faced with his opponent’s immensebat power, Song Jian was forced to use “Enemy of Death God”.


    This made him more secretive about his foreigner identity for fear of getting exposed.


    The risk of being hunted down was one thing, but if the trial failed, that was a massive loss.<div>


    “A bit overconfident aren’t we? But I am curious to see my own limits.” A devilish smile appeared on Song Jian’s lips. His sword suddenly became lively, urately piercing the approaching disciples from unexpected angles. He kept moving back, not giving them a chance to surround him.


    It took Song Jian more than half an hour to defeat the remaining fifty or sixty people, twice as many as the twopeting teams he defeated before.


    Leaning on his sword, Song Jianughed heartily while looking at the defeated disciples on the ground. The relief he felt was even greater than when he took down several first-order leaders of the ck Wind fortress.


    Just as he took down thest individual, he suddenly received a system prompt indicating that the task waspleted.


    System: You havepleted the first part of the trial task. Reward: Level increased by one, +2 free attribute points. Would you like to im them now?


    System: This reward is separate from the assessmentpletion reward. If imed, it will not affect the assessmentpletion reward. If not imed, it will umte for the next step. The more you umte, the bigger the final reward. However, if the subsequent tasks fail, the umted reward will disappear.


    Song Jian was taken aback. He didn’t expect each part of the assessment task to contain a reward, and that it was separate from the final sess reward of the assessment.


    “Should I im the reward for each part? If umted, the reward would definitely be higher than iming each part’s reward. However, if I fail in the future tasks, even this reward will be gone.” For a moment, Song Jian was hesitant.


    After some deliberation, he gritted his teeth and chose to umte. In his heart, he understood that iming the rewards now would be the safest bet. Even if he failed the final mission, he would not end up empty-handed after a month’s wait.


    But Song Jian was thinking that if he was going to win, he wanted to win big. If he was going to lose, he wouldn’t take anything with him. This was a clear gambler’s mentality.


    After choosing to umte, the second part of the mission immediately appeared before Song Jian.


    Assessment task part two: Annihte the Qingyun Sword Sect, kill the Sect Leader Liu Qingyun!


    Song Jian was almost knocked off his feet when he saw the second part of the assessment task. Was the mission already so difficult at the second part? Annihte the Qingyun Sword Sect? Just with him alone? Even if Song Jian had reached the first-orderbat power, it would be impossible to annihte a sect with over ten thousand members with a single strike.


    “Even if I were to unlock ck Dragon… it’s impossible. Even if ck Dragon is unlocked, I wouldn’t be able to annihte the Qingyun Sword Sect with one strike!” Song Jian was stupefied. If he had known the second part’s task was this, he should have imed the reward for the first task!


    While Song Jian was worrying about the second task, three examiners strode over, all smiles.


    “Congrattions, Song Jian. You passed this exam and even became the first rank with an absolute advantage!” Li Guiqing said with a smile.


    “Young man, I see great potential in you. Are you interested in joining our Sword Casting Hall? We need disciples like you in our hall! If you choose to be our disciple, we can guarantee you the best benefits in the entire sect. Furthermore, your weapons would be taken care of by the Sword Casting Hall.” Wang Hai said cheerfully.


    “”Master Wang, why waste his potential in the Sword Casting Hall?” Qin Hua nced at Wang Hai and said,” He’d bettere to our Alchemy Hall. Here, he won’t have to worry about his future cultivation pills and can even eat them like jelly beans, how could his cultivation not make great strides?”


    “You two…” Li Guiqing didn’t know whether tough or cry at their words.<div>


    “Hahaha, we’re just joking. Brother Song will eventually be an elder or even a personal disciple of the Sect Leader. How can he possibly join us?” Wang Haiughed and gave Song Jian a badge, saying: “This is our Sword Casting Hall’s Martial Order. With this order, you can choose a weapon of blue quality or higher in the Sword Casting Hall. Consider it a gift to celebrate your passing the exam!”@@novelbin@@


    “This is the Pill Order from our Alchemy Hall, you can use it to get ten Qi Boosting pills. Keep it well.” Qin Hua also gave Song Jian an order with a smile.


    Song Jian took the two orders with a smile, thanked them, and then turned his eyes to Li Guiqing.


    “This…” Li Guiqing immediately felt his scalp prickle. He originally intended to host a random disciple exam and have some fun. He hadn’t expected to have to pick up the tab.<div>


    Both the Martial Order and Pill Order were given by Wang Hai and Qin Hua, but the resources consumed came from the Sword Casting Hall and the Alchemy Hall. They managed to curry favor without spending any of their own money. However, whatever gift Li Guiqing might give would definitelye out of his own pocket.


    After hesitating for a moment, Li Guiqing pulled out a notebook from his robe, gave it to Song Jian, and said: “These are my personal insights on practicing the Qingyun Sword Skill. Take it. I know you may not care much for this basic sword skill of the Qingyun Sect, but let me tell you. Practically all of the advanced sword skills of the Qingyun Sect evolve from this basic skill. Learning this will greatly assist you in mastering more advanced sword skills in the future!”
