Chapter 250 - The Might of Flora Sword Intent! 4
From a certain perspective, it could be considered as displaying the brilliance of the twin sword pets.
It also represented the strength of the Seven-star sword.
After taking some recovery pills and resting for about three to four hours, Wang Ye woke up to find that the sword technique assessment outside had already ended.
Many of the contestants didn’t rest. They hadn’t expended much energy and were all discussing excitedly.
After Wang Ye left to rest, some of the beastmasters who went onto the platforms after him performed very well.
The most outstanding one was naturally He Xingu.
This fellow had also succeeded in both challenges and had caused quite a stir in the Starry-sky Sword Realm, though a lot weaker than Wang Ye.
This was especially so when comparisons of their performances in the Starry-sky Sword Realm were made. Due to the sword rabbit and the Seven-star sword spirit’s “cheat”, many of the spiritual imprints had dimmed from the energy consumption. As a result, when the participants entered later, not many of the predecessors’ spiritual imprints had come down from the sky..
Someone more special was probably Bai Mo. He was the only one who had relied purely on his talent in the way of the sword to attract the attention of several seniors.
Unlike He Xingu, who had relied on the crimson light sword or Wang Ye’s sword rabbit.
After the sword technique assessment ended, it was around three o’clock in the afternoon. It was the time of the day when the sun was the brightest, but it was still very cool in Twilight Plains, and the weather was enjoyable.
After Wang Ye woke up, the person in charge of the meet sent him a locator projector that needed to be installed on his phone.
This thing was not very useful in the secret realm, but in the wild, it could be used to record and project the experiences and situations of the adventurers.
Through a long-distance network, part of the footage could be presented through the holographic projection method after being reinforced and analyzed by soul-type pets.
Without the pets’ assistance, they could only be used for positioning with the current technology.
With this projector, the others could then see the real battles with the sword sentries in the wild clearly.
There was a big difference between a real battle in the wild and the controlled assessments.
Although Jian Canghai’s mechanical sword guard had different difficulty levels, in truth, it was just a sword technique assessment.
The mechanical sword guard was not only proficient in sword techniques. It also had many powerful mechanical skills and could enter the overload mode unique to mechanical pets.
If they seriously fought, unless the sword rabbit could evolve, it would be impossible for the sword rabbit to fight across levels.
Even in the Starry-sky Sword Realm where one had to fight against the seniors, one would not be killed even if one could not beat the spiritual imprint left by the seniors. One would only be sent out of the realm.
The battles to this point had only been going through the motions.
Therefore, fighting against the sword sentries in the wild was really life-threatening.
If these sword sentries were in secret realms, the meet probably wouldn’t have been held here.
The danger was too high and there was no guarantee for the safety of the participants, No one would be able to shoulder this responsibility.
The job assessment was conducted by the country’s professions department. God knows how much manpower and resources were spent, what with hiring professional beastmasters and high-level pets.
A city-level way of the sword exchange meet like this naturally didn’t have such a huge mobilization ability.
“There’s a valley about a hundred miles east of our base this time. Over there, Tianqian University has found a group of sword sentries in hibernation mode. After a simple investigation, we found that these sword sentries are quite strong, very suitable to be used as real combat targets.”
“The mission of the beastmasters who have passed the sword techniques assessment just now is to get rid of these sword sentries. All of you have obtained brand-new swords, and your sword techniques have reached a certain level. I’m not worried about your combat strength, but actual combat. Some professional beastmasters have already experienced actual combat with fierce beasts or strange gods during the job assessment. They’re quite clear about the dangers involved.”
“There’s a streak of sword energy in that locator projector. When you encounter a life-threatening situation, you can destroy the locator projector. That streak of sword energy can help you deal with any powerful enemies below level five. The sword sentries that are only at level three shouldn’t be a problem for you.”
“However, you have to be clear that it can only help you deal with life-threatening situations. In actual combat, you won’t just encounter life-threatening situations. Sometimes, a small mistake in judgment can leave you with fatal injuries that will affect your talent and your pet’s potential. So, if you think you can’t beat them, you can just return directly. Although the sword sentries are very old, we’ve tested a few of them. They’re not much weaker than the mechanical sword guards,” On the platform, Jian Canghai reminded the assembled beastmasters repeatedly.
Then, he pointed at a rock in the center that was the height of a three-year-old.
The rock was in the shape of a pyramid, and its surface had traces of air corrosion. It looked very old.
“The final reward of this exchange meet is the emperor-grade equipment, the sword-testing stone!” Jian Canghai pointed at the rock and smiled, “This equipment was not forged by us in modern times. Instead, it was picked up and simply processed. This sword-testing stone contains a mysterious and unique sword intent. If you can comprehend it, you might be able to learn a complete set of emperor-rank sword techniques. Furthermore, practicing sword techniques with this sword-testing stone will greatly increase your proficiency in your skills.”

The sword-testing stone.
Wang Ye looked at the simple and unadorned stone.
This was the main purpose of his participation in the exchange meet.
Ming Zhu had mentioned that this stone might be the key to a sealed ancient sword relic.
Even if it wasn’t the key, just based on its use, this trip wouldn’t have been in vain!
A piece of emperor-grade equipment wasn’t that easy to obtain.
