'This man said that the Cloud Sword has a special feature that allows it to sense the spiritual power released by any spirit warrior with excellent swordsmanship aptitude. If I am really talented in this aspect, then maybe I can make the sword respond without really exposing my true strength. What am I waiting for anyway? I'll try this out and see if it works,' Rocky wondered as the idea struck his mind.
With great determination, he took a deep breath and then closed his eyes. He was aware that if he wanted the Cloud Sword to react, he had to release the spiritual aura that could only be sensed by the sword. Without hesitation, he began to release his spiritual aura slowly.
At that moment, the whole training ground seemed to have instantly quieted down, with only the sound of the breeze to be heard. Then, with a light sound, the Cloud Sword behind Eugene began to move out of the blue.
Without a doubt, this stunned everyone around. However, they took it lightly, for they thought that it was only an accident. But the truth was that it was Rocky who was making this happen.
Clang! Not long after, another sound was heard.
Only this time, everyone did not think that it was a coincidence anymore.
At that moment, the Cloud Sword behind Eugene began to stir violently, as if it was about to take off at any second.
Without a doubt, both Tessa and Eugene were beyond surprised at the turn of events that were happening in front of them.
Meanwhile, the Cloud Sword began to finally break out of its scabbard.
At that moment, something more unexpected occurred. The spiritual swords behind the disciples of the Sword Spirit Sect, who had just passed by the training ground, also flew out instantly, quickly flying towards the training ground. In the blink of an eye, dozens of spiritual swords had already gathered above Rocky's head.
Clang!
Finally, the Cloud Sword was unsheathed, shocking the whole audience.
Without a doubt, such an unexpected event stunned everyone around!
'What? How could this be? How could all the spiritual swords respond to him? This is crazy! He must be so talented in this aspect!' Eugene wondered as his eyes widened in great shock.
Tessa, on the other hand, was also stunned to see this. She didn't expect that Rocky's talent in swordsmanship could be this spectacular.
But as soon as Rocky realized that he was going too far, he immediately withdrew his spiritual power. At the same time, the spiritual swords above his head fell down consecutively, creating loud, annoying sounds of clashing metal.
"Well, I think that's all I can do," Rocky told Eugene calmly, cupping his hands in respect.
"So, are we cool now?" Tessa asked as she looked at Eugene eagerly.
"I guess that will do for now. Later, I'll declare him as the new disciple. Starting today, he'll be the trainee disciple of the Sword Spirit Sect. But it doesn't end there. He still needs to pass the examination which will happen next month before he can be an official disciple. So, don't get too excited now," Eugene explained.
"Oh, I see," Rocky replied with a little shrug.
"Well, I'm leaving now. If you have anything you don't understand, don't hesitate to ask Eugene directly," Tessa told Rocky. Now that he had successfully become a disciple of the sect, she gave him a warm smile. In fact, this smile of relief immediately made all the disciples in the area feel so comfortable as if a gentle breeze had swept through. After her voice trailed off, she waved her hand and left the premises, leaving behind a trail of her unique fragrance.
"You. Take your place in the line," Eugene ordered Rocky.
Without saying a word, Rocky immediately stood at the end of the line.
Despite being newcomers, these newly recruited disciples had a lot of potential and were talented disciples recommended by some small sects. With that being said, most of them were already at the second or third grade of the Spirit Realm, with the strongest disciple being at the fourth grade. As a result, all of them were treated differently from one another.
On the other hand, even though Rocky had made a splash just now, he still looked like a country bumpkin, so he was still looked down upon by the people around him.
