Who let him join the Sword Sect?!

Hearing Zhang Ze's question, Wei Ning awkwardly smiled, "This... I..."

She couldn't possibly say that she came late because she skipped work.

"This... I'll question you later! Why do you keep calling me Senior Sister! You're not a disciple of the Sword Sect," Wei Ning retorted.

"Junior Brother was born for the Sword Sect, joining the Sword Sect is Junior Brother's destiny, so I called you Senior Sister," Zhang Ze laughed.

"What gives you the right!" Although Wei Ning was still relentless, she was already roped in by Zhang Ze.

"Because of my innate Sword Body... No, I was born with knowledge, the Sword Dao flows from my heart. If you don't believe it, we can try it out, you can personally test me. May I borrow your sword, Senior Sister?"

"Here you go!"

Wei Ning felt she was also a person of exceptional talent, never having heard of such a born-with-knowledge person. She planned to give this unruly Little Ghost in front of her a lesson, then capture him.

As for her brother... he could wait to be dealt with later!

Dare not tell her and secretly participate in the entrance examination!

Having made up her mind, Wei Ning flicked her wrist, sending a practice longsword used by Outer Disciples flying towards him.

Though the distance was close, Zhang Ze still caught it steadily, twirling it into a flourish, then standing with his hands behind his back.

"Please."

Seeing this, Wei Zhuang immediately hugged a melon and hid in the corner, to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

Wei Ning didn't bully the young, as she didn't use Spiritual Qi, only exchanging sword moves to properly educate this boy who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.

This pavilion was large enough that the two could fully display their skills.

Wei Ning was full of confidence; however, she soon found herself seemingly losing.

Zhang Ze's sword moves were slow, yet they seemed to foresee the future, defending without a drop of water getting through.

While she felt like she was being dragged into a mire, more frustrated the longer she fought.

Wei Ning, a bit ashamed and annoyed, unconsciously activated her Spiritual Qi. Upon seeing it, Zhang Ze immediately stepped back, tossing the sword away.

"No cheating when you can't win, with your brother still here, you can't kill to silence!"

"Indeed," Wei Zhuang watched the spectacle without a care.

"This time doesn't count, again!" Wei Ning shouted angrily.

This time, Zhang Ze didn't let go but advanced with an attack, his sword flowing like water. After a few moves, the sword in Zhang Ze's hand hummed as it stabbed towards Wei Ning's wrist, Wei Ning was about to use Spiritual Qi to deflect that sword when she suddenly remembered that would be cheating.

In that moment of distraction, Zhang Ze's sword move slowed half a beat, he twirled a sword flourish, not stabbing her wrist but knocking Wei Ning's longsword out of her hand.

"Nice." Wei Zhuang continued to watch the spectacle without care.

"Again!" Wei Ning felt like she was distracted, still not convinced.

Zhang Ze shrugged his shoulders, this time raising his sword to signal Wei Ning to attack.

Then he ended up making Wei Ning cry...

"Your forehand is weak, your backhand unskilled! Your footwork is loose, your reactions slow, not a single good one."

Zhang Ze once again knocked Wei Ning's longsword out of her hand, then exhaled deeply.

Refreshing.

Previously, at the Main Pavilion, he had been educated like this alternately by his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Sure enough, pain should be transferred to others, even if it's tempered the same way.

Though bullying elders is disgraceful, it's all fake after all, and he really didn't do anything.

He just used some wisdom accumulated by the seniors over thousands of years.

Both Wei Ning and Zhang Ze used the basic Swordsmanship of the Sword Sect, but Zhang Ze's swordsmanship had been optimized and developed over the years, completely different from the original.

It's normal for the new to easily defeat the old.

Wei Ning pouted, stared at Zhang Ze, "Where did you learn our Sword Sect's Swordsmanship!"

"From you." Zhang Ze spread his hands.

"When did I teach you?" Wei Ning asked.

"Just now, during our first spar, I learned it in one round," Zhang Ze lied easily, "I already told you, I'm a genius, born for the Sword Sect."

Wei Ning slightly frowned, upon careful thinking, it seemed true.

During their first spar, Zhang Ze merely defended passively; by the second time, he used the Sword Sect's Swordsmanship to counter-attack, and by the third time, he was already schooling her.

Although unconvinced, Wei Ning still clasped her hands and said, "I lost, I ask Junior Brother to leave this place, and continue ascending the mountain."

But Zhang Ze shook his head, "I found this place, it should count as a fortuitous encounter. It's not unreasonable for me to directly teleport to the end with this Token."

"Nonsense! You can't break the rules." Wei Ning firmly disagreed.

Hearing this, Zhang Ze nodded in agreement, "Then let's follow the rules, I request Senior Sister to quickly capture me and take me back to the sect for judgment!"

"Why should I capture you?" Wei Ning was a bit confused.

"Don't you find my identity suspicious? What if I have some unspeakable secret?" Zhang Ze said seriously.

"You... you're crazy." Wei Ning felt a headache, but also felt he had a point.

Although Zhang Ze kept saying something about being born with knowledge and meant for the Sword Sect, when thought through carefully, it did sound suspicious.

"Fine, come with me, I'll ask my master."

Wei Ning had lost her temper.

Seeing there was no need to walk, Wei Zhuang discarded the melon he finished eating, wanting to head straight to the end, but was directly picked up by Wei Ning and thrown back.

"You climb the mountain honestly."

With that said, she first drove Wei Zhuang out of this surveillance room, then took Zhang Ze and teleported them out of the Sword Sect.

...

The endpoint at the mountaintop.

The Elders were gathered together, discussing this year's entrance examination.

"This boy has a firm will, although his talent is average, if he encounters some fortuitous opportunity, he might surpass others."

"What do you think of those two? Being able to bargain with that Wind God Eagle is also intriguing."

"Let's ask later if they came to the Sword Sect because it's close to home, or maybe they took the wrong path. If they aren't committed to the Sword Dao, send them to the Beast Taming Sect then; they need talents like this."

"Indeed."

"However, the first test of climbing the mountain ultimately assesses one's character; whether they enter will depend on the assessment of the second test."
