2However, at this moment, just as Luo Wushuang was laughing bitterly, an incomparably intense voice rang out, as if a volcano had erupted.    

    

"BOOM!"    

    

Accompanying the violent sound was the sound of a trembling drum. This sound was like the joyous tolling of a gong in the western heavens, making those who heard it feel as if their hearts and souls were trembling.    

    

When the sound of this drum rang out, the entire Sword King Pavilion trembled for a moment. And those who were currently standing outside the Sword Pagoda, were even more shocked to the extreme, and didn't say a single word.    

    

Everything was quiet!    

    

It was only when an ordinary disciple suddenly said, "Just now, did the ninth Exquisite Drum get knocked on?" did the surrounding silence break.    

    

At this moment, Luo Wushuang's entire face was filled with confusion and disbelief as she stared at the Sword Pagoda. Shortly after, however, her heart surged with unimaginable power and was incomparably shocked as she asked in a low voice: "Has someone finally passed the eighth floor?"    

    

Without a doubt, ever since the establishment of Sword King Pavilion, ever since the first generation Pavilion Master had placed his inheritance within the Sword Pagoda, there had been a continuous stream of disciples that challenged the Sword Pagoda.    

    

Luo Wushuang becoming the Sword King Pavilion Pavilion Master often felt that, in her lifetime, she might not be able to witness a disciple passing the eighth floor of the examination.    

    

But now, just now, she had personally heard the voice of the ninth Exquisite Drum, which also meant that someone had passed the eighth floor's examination.    

    

Just as everyone was in shock, one drum sound after another rang out. However, this time, it was not the eight drums, but nine drums. The sound was mighty, causing everyone to feel their hearts tremble. It was deafening.    

    

"The nine drums chime together! It's actually the nine drums chiming in unison! Someone has finally passed the eighth level!"    

    

He had stayed in the Sword King Pavilion for more than a hundred years, and over the years, he had seen countless geniuses challenging Sword Pagoda, but all of them, without exception, were stopped at the eighth floor.    

    

Until today, when someone finally announced that the Exquisite Drum had passed the eighth floor's examination.    

    

The other people outside the Sword Pagoda also suddenly felt as if they were in a dream.    

    

Moreover, hearing the nine drums ring out at the same time was indeed shocking, even resonating with one's mind.    

    

In this scene, unless one was someone who had personally experienced it personally, most likely no one would believe that a vast and mighty sound wave would churn like a tide and wreak havoc within the entire Sword King Pavilion.    

    

"Next is the ninth level!" No matter who the two of them are, as long as they can take out the legacy left behind by their ancestors, they can become core disciples of the Sword King Pavilion. "    

    

Luo Wushuang's expression turned serious as she shouted.    

    

"Swish!"    

    

Upon hearing Luo Wushuang's words, the surrounding crowd couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.    

    

A core disciple of the Sword King Pavilion?    

    

To any ordinary student, this was the ultimate honor. Becoming a core disciple meant that all the resources in the Sword King Pavilion would be used on him. As for any cultivation technique within the Cultivation Technique Pavilion, he could choose from them at will.    

    

In the Sword King Pavilion, there was only one core disciple currently, and that was Zhang Tianwen. However, what kind of stunning genius was Zhang Tianwen? In the entire Lanqing Empire, Zhang Tianwen was ranked in the top three, just behind Shangguan Mie.    

    

A genius like him was a rare occurrence in a hundred years. It was reasonable for him to become a core disciple.    

    

But now, a second core disciple was about to appear within the Sword King Pavilion. And this second core disciple was in between Su Ling and Wang Huan.    

    

That shocked many people. It would be better to say that it was Su Ling who became a core disciple, but if Wang Huan became a core disciple, the disciples who offended Wang Huan before and looked down on him would pay a heavy price.    

    

After all, offending a core disciple was not a good thing.    

    

"Pavilion Master is a bit too generous. He just passed a small Sword Pagoda exam and wanted him to become a core disciple. This is too unfair to the other disciples."    

    

"Exactly! Core disciples mean countless resources and cultivation techniques. If we knew that we could become core disciples like this, we would have definitely tried the eighth floor. With so many of us here, there's bound to be people who will blindly run into trouble and pass the eighth floor's examination. "    

    

Without a doubt, at that instant, many people who had grudges against Wang Huan before were very unwilling to see Wang Huan become a core disciple.    

    

At this time, the Great Elder's face was gloomy. He did not say a word, but looked towards the other elders and asked curiously, "What do you guys think?"    

    

"The words of the other disciples make sense. Although the Sword Pagoda Assessment is difficult, it is not impossible to pass. Now that someone has passed the Sword Pagoda Assessment and directly become a core disciple, it is indeed unfair for the other students who have worked hard to cultivate. "    

    

Elder Wang said with a cold expression.    

    

"Elder Wang, what you said is not right. You know very well the difficulty of the Sword Pagoda Assessment. Right now, if a disciple is able to pass the Sword Pagoda examination and take out the legacy left behind by their ancestor, that would be the credit of the Sword King Pavilion.    

    

Elder Hee laughed as he knew that Su Ling was Su Xiaomei's brother. If Su Ling could become a core disciple of Sword King Pavilion, then Su Xiaomei's future development would be very beneficial.    

    

Therefore, as Su Xiaomei's master, Elder Hee naturally had to help Su Ling.    

    

Hearing the dispute between the few elders, Luo Wushuang couldn't help but frown. With a trace of unhappiness on her face, she said indifferently, "Could it be that the inheritance left behind by our ancestors is not as good as a spot for a core disciple? Great Elder, what do you think? "    

    

"Mm. Pavilion Master is very correct. If one of them can take out the inheritance left behind by their ancestor, then no matter who it is, they can directly make him become a core disciple."    

    

The grand elder nodded thoughtfully and smiled.    

    

In fact, the Great Clan Elder was well aware that for Sword King Pavilion, even if they spent a large amount of resources to nurture a genius, it wouldn't be a problem, but it would be extremely difficult to obtain the inheritance left behind by their ancestors. Now, there was finally someone who was going to take out the inheritance left behind by their ancestor, so giving him a spot as a core disciple was indeed a reasonable thing.    

    

After all, the inheritance left behind by their ancestors was way too important to the Sword King Pavilion.    

    

"Hmph, compared to a placing for a core disciple, all of you have to think for half a day here. It looks like your Sword King Pavilion s are really getting worse with each generation. If you are not willing to give me a spot as a core disciple, then I will take you in as my disciple. "    

    

Elder Ying, who was standing on the side, could not help but snort coldly.    

    

"Huh?"    

    

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, especially Luo Wushuang and the Great Elder.
