***

The Sword Intents within the sixth gate ferociously launched an attack at Snowy's direction as soon as she step on the sixth gate's platform. Her sword intent quickly responded in kind, showing the might of myriad sword intents that were even more formidable.

*Swoosh* *Swoosh* *Swoosh*

The space around Snowy suddenly distorted; it seemed that the exchange between the sword intents was so intense that even the air was split apart. Despite that, Snowy's expression was still calm, without showing any sign of panic.

The time quickly passed, Snowy had successfully integrated the sword intents within the sixth gate into her own sword intent. Just a bit more, her skill proficiency was about to have another breakthrough.

Snowy climbed to the next gate without resting. The suppression of the seventh stairs set couldn't block her advance. Soon she arrived in front of the seventh gate.

The atmosphere in the watching platform turned solemn. No one dared to breathe loudly due to the suspense.

In another second, one more person would be added to Heaven Sword Sect's history. The seventh gate was the highest gate that only had been passed by two people so far.

If Snowy succeeded which most likely would be, she would be the third person that had gone so far in the Sword Ascension test while still at the Qi Transformation stage. Furthermore, she did it while only half the full time had passed in this round.

"Quick, pinch my arm! I want to know whether I'm dreaming or not!"

A young cultivator that seemed to be a Heaven Sword Sect's disciple muttered thoughtlessly. His friend beside him flashed a sly smile and pinched his arm with gusto.

"Ouch! Damn it, you pinched me too hard!" His friend rolled his eyes while letting out a hearty laugh. The cultivator grumbled silently, "I'm not dreaming, aren't I?"

"Is she still a human?"

In the corner nearby the examination area, Xian Qingrou met with a neat-looking man who seemed to be in his thirties. His bearing was cold and indifferent, but there was an unconcealed affection when he looked at the girl in front of him.

"U-uncle h-help me She is the bitch who dares to insult and hit me! If this continues, Cousin Bu Yu will lose the bet and your niece will be humiliated! I I rather end my life than suffer humiliation" Xian Qingrou leaned on his chest while whining in a pitiful voice and looking at Elder Qian with misty eyes, a healthy man would felt his heart beat faster at such sight.

"Ooh, my dearest niece, what a troublesome headache you give me here You I'm spoiling you too much" Elder Xian reproached her with a stern tone, yet he gently rubbed her back to calm her.

"Please help me Uncle" pleaded Xian Qingruo softly. She lowered her head and said in an ambiguous manner, "If you can help me get out of this I I will do my best tonight"

The tip of her ear turned red as she said those words. Elder Qian couldn't hold his desire anymore and stole her lip while his hand was lifting her chin. They engaged in unspeakable deeds for several minutes. There was no awkwardness in their face as if she had done it many times before.

After he was satisfied, Elder Xian released Xian Qingruo from his embrace and said, "Hmm? Let's see if I can do anything about this You don't need to worry." He gave a meaningful smile while looked at her with lustful eyes, "Don't forget to wear my gift tonight, okay?"

"Okay darling" muttered Xian Qingruo with her head still lowered. The trace of disgust on her smile was escaped from Elder Qian's sight.

*Boom!*

Finally, Snowy arrived at the seventh gate's platform.

Her sword intent howled, withstanding the barrage of the sword intents within the seventh gate. The might of the force was incomparable to what Snowy previously experienced.

All of the sword intents in the seventh gate had produce a phenomenon with a similar level to Snowy's sword intent or stronger.

Snowy's expression turned serious for the first time. She didn't dare to underestimate the attack of such a level. She drove her primordial Qi furiously to fuel her sword intent further.

The three thousand swords shone brightly and trembled in excitement!

*Swoosh* *Swoosh* *Swoosh*

Her sword intent that previously had been pushed back by the assault gradually displayed their overwhelming strength and started to fight on similar ground. The situation reached a stalemate.

Snowy realized that without another breakthrough in her sword intent, this balance would only be able to persist for several minutes.

Then, Snowy swiftly observed the sword marks on the seventh gates' surface.

As a former system with unparalleled processing prowess, she split her mind and comprehend all the sword intents within the sword mark simultaneously.

As her comprehension of the Sword Dao grew deeper, her sword intents eventually got the upper hand in the battle.

*thump* *thump*

Snowy's heart beat crazily, she was on the verge of a breakthrough!

*Zeenggg!*

The three thousand swords expand and swallowed the sword intents from within the seventh gate. Snowy's aura surged wildly, shooting through the sky as if it wanted to split the sky apart!

Ding!

[Comprehension of Sword Intent has greatly improved]

[Increase skill proficiency 2->3]

The sword intents receded as her sword intent start to blend with them.

"Fuuuhh"

Snowy breathed a relieved sigh.

This was the first time Snowy started sweating since the beginning of the second round. Her clothes were a little bit disheveled.

'It was too close!'

If Snowy's sword intent didn't break through to another level, Snowy might be in deep trouble. The sword intent at this level was no joke. Snowy began to contemplate and decided to start taking the thing seriously and not complacent.

She regulates her breathing and advanced to the next gate.

It was the birth of the new legend in the Eastern Region.

***

"She did it"

The three girls watch intently from the fifth gate's platform gate while wiping the blood in the corner of their lips as Snowy climbed to the eight gates.

They looked at her back with a complicated gaze. They only knew this girl for a short time but this girl had already given them many surprises. Deep in their heart, they had unconsciously place Snowy as their goal.

***

"She did it! The betting girl had done it!"

"Go, betting girl! Don't stop! You can reach the stop!"

"Woo, I start to fall for her. Does anyone know her name? Please tell me!"

"Betting Girl, please be my Dao Companion!"

"Scram! The only one who can stand beside her is me!"

The crowds in the watching platform fell into an uproar. Their breath had been suspended for so long when they watched Snowy struggling against the might of the seventh gate.

When they saw the seventh gate had dimmed, they screamed from her heart shouting praises for Snowy.

Their excitement rose to the next level as they saw Snowy approached the next stair sets. They knew that after the next step, she would claim her position in Eastern Region History.
