At 8 am, everyone who was supposed to be there had already arrived! At this moment, Isabel and representatives from other hidden forces were standing on the high platform as judges.
In addition, standing next to Isabel was a stunning figure. It was none other than Phoebe, the beautiful young master of Hudpids Sect!
Phoebe was dressed in combat gear today and carried a long sword emitting an aura of sharpness.
"Phoebe will also participate in today's personal ranking trial. However, she won't harm anyone unless necessary," announced Isabel.
Upon hearing this announcement, the faces of all the participants turned slightly serious. Especially Benjamin from Golden Blade Sect and Finn from the Wynter family; they both had early Core Formation strength and believed that they could compete for first place today. But with Phoebe joining in as another strong opponent, their hopes of winning first place became slim.
Furthermore, Nathaniel from Black Moon Cult also looked gloomy upon hearing this news.
Isabel continued to talk about other matters after announcing this news. She only made an announcement without seeking agreement or consent from any participant since it was organized by Hudpids Sect; their rules were absolute.
Next, Hudpids Sect presented the prizes for this competition. The first-place reward was a divine sword named Frost Soul Divine Sword, emitting a substantial chill that clearly marked it as an extraordinary weapon.
"This Frost Soul Divine Sword has already developed a sword spirit, making it the reward for the first place in this ranking!" Isabel declared, drawing the sword.
Then, she glanced at Phoebe beside her, and Phoebe responded with a smile, showing a hint of expectation.
Everyone's gaze turned fiery as they looked at this sword with inherent icy properties, especially since it already had a sword spirit.
A weapon, once it possessed spirituality, ceased to be lifeless. After nurturing and becoming familiar with it, the weapon could synchronize with its master's intentions, unleashing more terrifying power in battle. It might even evolve additional abilities and divine powers.
Despite the envy in everyone's eyes, they knew that the ownership of the Frost Soul Divine Sword had already been decided. Common sense told them it was prepared as a trial reward for the Hudpids Sect's young master.
At this moment, Isabel took out another treasure-a sword. With a length of a meter and a half, it exuded an ancient and sturdy aura.
"This Glacier River Dragon Sparrow Blade, like the Frost Soul Divine Sword just now, is also crafted from thousand-year cold iron. In terms of material and craftsmanship, it is on par with the Frost Soul Divine Sword, but it lacks a weapon spirit. Nevertheless, it is still a rare divine weapon, and in the future, it may also develop a blade spirit. This sword is the additional reward for the second-place ranking!" Isabel explained, stirring another wave of eager looks.
Following that, she revealed the third to fifth prizes: a powerful martial technique, an Uppecia Pill that could aid practitioners in breaking through to the Core Formation Realm, and a protective body armor.
Apart from these, the top three participants from each family or independent cultivators also had the opportunity to join Hudpids Sect and become disciples of this secluded sect.
As for participants beyond the fifth place, there were no additional rewards.
