บท 230: First round of the competition

"The first round of the competition is called the trial of swords." The head said.

The moment the name was mentioned, everyone went silent. Just from the name, one could guess what kind of test it was. A test based on swords would certainly be easier for the participants from the ten thousand sword school.

"The trial shall take place in our mountain of swords. The mountain of swords is a sacred location in our academy. The mountain was formed by the broken swords of the past students of the academy. If a sword a student of the academy has used for a long time and had his dao burned into it breaks, or if the student dies and the sword is found, the sword will be placed into the mountain of swords."
