Chapter 119: Mastering Sword Techniques
'The stone tablet is reacting when someone observes them.'
That was the reason why the examinees needed to get closer to the stone tablet to learn the technique within.
'But I have Thousand Eyes skill.'
Supposed the requirement to learn the technique was to directly examine the stone tablet, didn't it mean that she could learn other techniques even from afar?
'It certainly more efficient.'
Snowy activated the <Thousand Eyes> skill and her sight instantly covered the entire room.
There she saw only 10 people were currently comprehending the stone tablets in the Earth Grade section, including Meng Qi, the Qi Twins, Qian Bu Yu, and several unfamiliar faces. The remaining examinees chose Profound-rank techniques stone tablet while nobody touched the human-rank section.
It was a reasonable approach, considering that their time was short.
'I'll start from this one.'
Snowy focused her vision on the next stone tablet after fully comprehending the Sky Severing Slashes. Two people were seen sitting in front of the tablet, trying to comprehend the move within. She recognized them as the loose cultivators who had been assessed as a 4-stars talent.
As she wasn't interested in them, Snowy quickly put her attention to the stone tablet and examined it in great detail.
In a matter of seconds, a familiar scene was playing inside her mind.
100 swords made from sword qi were hovering around a human-shaped silhouette. Each sword shone brightly like a spark of light within the deep abyss.
No matter how the darkness wished to engulf it, a hundred swords glimmered ever more fiercely, illuminating the world and vanquishing the night.
She had once seen Lin Ming performed this technique but the brilliance was pale in comparison.
"The sword is to illuminate, guiding the living being to escape the dread of darkness. May light shine to eternity!"
Following the ethereal voice, boundless light washed over Snowy, shimmering her with pure and divine sword intent, which was quickly absorbed by her sword intent.
10 minutes after she started comprehending the stone tablet, a series of messages was appearing inside her mind.

'It works.'
As Snowy finished reading the popping message in her mind, a bright smile was rising from her lips behind the veil.
Now she was succeded to learn the techniques without moving even an inch, she wanted to further accelerate her learning pace by dividing her thought to comprehend several techniques at the same time. Snowy made a quick calculation in her mind.
'30 minutes.. I can learn all the remaining Earth-rank techniques in more or less 30 minutes.'
Snowy let out a bitter chuckle, "I think this is my limit for now.."
If others knew what was in her mind right now, it might not be exaggerated that they will commit mass suicide or throw dirty words at heaven from injustice.
Fortunately, no one could read what was she currently thinking.
"Let's start."

Aside from the addition of the swords technique, Snowy could sense that her sword intent grew increasingly stronger by the time she had mastered all of the Earth-grade techniques in the Sword Pavilion. With a little bit more accumulation, her Sword Intent would be able to break through to level 4.
Without resting, she immediately scourged the stone tablet in the profound grade section and learned several techniques at once. There were more than 200 profound-rank sword techniques available in the sword pavilion but Snowy only need another 30 minutes to master them.
Ding!

Along with the appearance of dinging sound inside her head, Snowy's sword intent abruptly exploded from her body, manifesting 3000 unparallel sword intents.
The sudden appearance of her sword intents instantly startled everyone present inside the sword pavilion while the stone tablet unknowingly trembled before their presence.
Fortunately, the disturbance only last less than a burn of a stick of incense before the initial serenity came back to the sword pavilion.
Still, due to the unexpected phenomena, many examinees needed to try again from the start causing them to feel wronged and resentful.
"Dammit a little bit more.. just a little bit more.."
"What the hell happened?!"
"Hey isn't it a foul play to disturb another examinee?!"
"Examiner, we demand an explanation!"
Only a few people knew what was going on, such as the three girls. Their gaze immediately fell at Snowy who was still in the state of enlightenment, unaware of the ruckus she unknowingly caused.
Sensing the gazes on her, Snowy opened her eyes and looked back at the three girls who stared at her with complicated gaze and tilted her head innocently as if asked "What's wrong?" at them.
The three girls didn't know whether to laugh or cry and could only let out a weak chuckle.
"Quiet!" Elder Lan quickly step forward to handle the situation before it turned rowdy and spoke, "Due to sudden disturbance we will extend the period by one hour to compensate you all. We will make sure that there won't be another unexpected thing happened from now."
Although some of the examinees were still not satisfied, they grudgingly accept Elder Lan's compromised and once again focused on comprehending their respective stone tablets.
'If you make another commotion, I'll immediately disqualify you.'
Snowy was slightly surprised by the voice that suddenly rang inside her head but immediately understood what happened before she woke up.
She gave a small bow and apologetic look at Elder Lan who looked at her with a stern gaze.
