Please, I Really Didn’t Want To Fall in Love With My Master! Chapter 320: Sword Purification: Masters Special Reward!

Chapter 320: Sword Purification: Masters Special Reward!

Chen Beihe sat on the high platform and looked at Li Ran with a deep gaze.
Chen Zhutian had fallen into the Sword Purification Pool, and he was heavily injured by the Sword Qi in the pool. He was still unconscious until now.
However, this was not the most important thing.
What had happened yesterday had been witnessed by dozens of disciples. Now, it had spread throughout the entire sect.
Son of the great Elder, the current Eldest senior brother of the Inner Sect, a peak Golden Core cultivator. He was actually unable to defeat a mortal who had just entered the sect.
Not only had he been sent flying twice in a row, but he had also even been knocked unconscious by a single punch despite activating his divine ability and using all his strength.
It had only been a few short months since Li Ran had beaten him up.
Chen Zhutian had just gotten up from his bed when he laid back down a few days later.
There were even people who secretly called him "trash senior brother".
Chen Beihe went to seek justice from the Sect Master, but he was mocked instead.
As the great Elder of Myriad Swords Pavilion, the famous East Sea Sword Torrent, when had he ever suffered such a grievance?
"Li Tiezhu…"
A haze flashed across Chen Beihe's eyes.
Clearly, Li Ran was to blame for all of this.
He waved his hand, and a deacon quickly walked over. He bowed and asked, "What instructions do you have, Elder Chen?"
Chen Beihe's lips moved as he said something via voice transmission.
Deacon's face revealed a difficult expression, but after seeing his cold expression, he gritted his teeth and nodded.
Then he retreated.
Chen Beihe looked at Li Ran, corners of his mouth turning cold. "A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye. You shouldn't have come to the Sword Purification Pool!"
……
Sword Purification Pool.
Even though the name carried the word ‘pool', it occupied an extremely large area, and it was simply like a lake.
The breeze blew, shadows of the trees danced, and the ripples under the breeze reflected the bright and beautiful waves.
Water in the pool was extremely clear. Silver light flew through water as if it was a stream of fish.
However, Li Ran knew that it wasn't a fish at all but a Sword Qi that crisscrossed.
Terrifying Sword Intent emitted from it caused even his entire body to feel slightly cold.
There was a row of lotus leaves on the surface of water, stretching straight toward the opposite shore.
On the other side, the mist on the other side was hazy, making it impossible to clearly see the exact appearance.
Li Ran curiously asked, "This is the Sword Purification Pool?"
"That's right." Yue Jianli nodded and said, "Ever since the Myriad Sword Pavilion's existence, the Sect Master of the past generations had to wash their swords here, so this pool of water contains an extremely pure sword intent."
Li Ran asked again, "Then what's with the talent test?"
Yue Jianli asked, "Do you see the lotus leaves on the water? It's called the Sword He, and it was born from Sword Qi. There are a total of ninety-nine of them. From here, it can reach the other side."
"Disciples need to step on the lotus leaves. The more they go forward, the stronger the Sword Qi they emit. The more lotus leaves you can endure, the higher your ability to withstand Sword Qi, and the greater your potential."
"I see… What if I can't bear it?"
Yue Jianli replied, "It would be better if you fell from the front. At most, you will be injured. However, if you reached the middle and rear stages, your life would be in danger.
"Thus, on the day of Sword Purification Pool, the deacons will activate the formation before hand to prevent disciples from falling into the water."
Li Ran nodded.
Chen Zhutian had unexpectedly fallen into the Sword Purification Pool. Even a peak Golden Core realm cultivator had been severely injured, let alone an ordinary disciple that hadn't trained yet.
Of course, the sect would not joke around with their disciples' lives.
"Has anyone reached the opposite shore?"
Yue Jianli shook her head and said, "I heard that only Master was able to reach the other side back then, and no one else succeeded. I only managed to reach the eighty-sixth lotus leaf back then."
"If I successfully reach the other side, not only will you be accepted as a personal disciple, you will also receive a special reward from Master."
Li Ran rubbed his chin. "Special reward? Interesting."
As the two chatted, the Sword Purification Pool ceremony had already begun.
Disciples lined up and stepped onto the lotus leaves according to the names read by the deacons.
"Wang Defa!"
"Disciple is here!" A male disciple responded.
He solemnly stepped onto the lotus leaf.
His clothes fluttered without any wind and his face paled slightly. Clearly, he was already enduring the attack of the Sword Qi.
Sword He slowly floated forward under the control of the formation.
Sword Purification Pool was very large, and the distance between the lotus leaves wasn't small. It took him at least three breaths of time to reach the second lotus leaf.
He stepped forward.
Then, the second lotus leaf moved forward again.
After reaching the twentieth leaf, his body began to totter.
When he stepped onto the twenty-first leaf, a strand of Sword Qi directly sent him flying. With a miserable cry, he fell into the pool.
In the next second, the water rippled and wrapped around him, bringing him back to the shore.
"Wang Defa, twenty steps into the outer door!"
The crowd quieted down.
After walking twenty lotus leaves, they could only enter the outer door.
Seeing Wang Defa's deathly pale face, the disciples couldn't help but feel even more nervous.
Deacon continued to recite the name, "Zhao Si!"
"Brother, disciple is here!" A disciple timidly walked up.
In the end, he fell off after reaching the tenth leaf. Naturally, he also entered the outer door.
As the Sword Purification Pool ceremony proceeded, the situation was truly rather miserable.
Most of the disciples only took twenty to thirty steps. The best one only took fifty steps.
On the high platform, the Elders frowned.
The quality of this batch of disciples wasn't good!
Actually, this had something to do with the Immortal Ascension Assembly.
This time, most of the good seedlings were snatched away by the Youluo Temple.
The other sects could only retreat to second place. The quality and number of disciples they recruited were far inferior to the previous years.
At this moment, the deacon shouted, "Li Tiezhu!"
Elders were stunned when they heard this.
"Li Tiezhu?"
"Isn't that a new personal disciple of the Sect Master?"
"She has already become the Sword Head’s disciple. This means that her talent must be exceptional. I don't think she needs to undergo the trial."
"Since he called out her name, let her try it. The Sword Head's personal disciple is definitely not too bad."
"These disciples are too weak. It's good to have a genius raise their morale."
……
Hearing everyone's discussion, Chen Beihe's lips curled into an icy smile.
When Li Ran heard his name, he couldn't help but be stunned. "I have to go too?"
Yue Jianli couldn't help but say, "Logically speaking, you don’t have to. I wonder why they called you."
All the disciples cast their gazes toward him in unison.
Li Tiezhu.
This name had long spread throughout the sect.
She had just entered the sect on the first day, yet she had already beaten up the son of the great Elder. This kind of feat directly made her famous.
The disciples were also filled with curiosity.
Li Ran shook his head and said, "Forget it. Let's go. It just so happens that I'm quite curious about that special reward."
He handed Shen Ning over to Yue Jianli and slowly walked to the side of the pool.
