3943 Chapter 3943 toughness
Yun chujiu smiled bitterly in her heart. She had really overestimated herself!
She had to continuously hammer the sword billet without any time to catch her breath. She needed sufficient physical strength and spiritual power to support herself. Moreover, she had already expended a lot of physical strength and spiritual power during the previous assessment. Now, she really couldn’t hold on any longer.
Yun chujiu gritted her teeth. If she wanted to enter the inner sect, she had to complete this sword billet. Otherwise, elder Duanmu and the others would definitely find all sorts of reasons to eliminate her.
Although this fellow was usually careless, he still had a fierce will at the critical moment. She bit her lips tightly and continued to maintain her original strength, hammering the sword billet repeatedly.
!!
The fine beads of sweat on Yun Chujiu’s forehead quickly turned into bean-sized beads of sweat. Her legs trembled even more violently, and her lips were even bleeding from her bites.
However, Yun Chujiu’s movements were not affected at all. She continued to pound the sword billet with the same force.
The expressions of some of the disciples who participated in the assessment gradually changed. Their originally indifferent expressions became complicated. They had to admit that Yun Chujiu’s persistence had touched them.
They even felt a little guilty for their indifference just now. If they had helped Yun chujiu to testify, Yun chujiu would not have needed to pound the sword billet a second time. were they… wrong?
Elder Duanmu’s expression also changed slightly. In elder Wan’s description, Yun Chujiu was a good-for-nothing who took advantage of opportunities and caused trouble, however, the Yun Chujiu he saw now was a little girl with a strong will.
He had come from an ordinary sword forging disciple and had hammered countless sword billets in his lifetime. He knew Yun Chujiu’s current physical condition too well. She had already reached the limits of her body, she was merely relying on her willpower to hold on!
Elder Dongfang looked at Yun chujiu with admiration. Regardless of whether she had passed the assessment or not, he was optimistic about this little girl’s future. With such tenacity, there was probably no difficulty that could make her shrink back.
Hall master Yang and Hall Master Gao’s faces turned slightly pale. However, they consoled themselves that even if Yun chujiu had completed the sword blanks, it could not prove that they were the ones who had lowered the score, as long as they insisted that Yun Chujiu made a mistake the first time, it was not because they had lowered the score, and she would not be able to do anything to them.
For a moment, in the No. 8 sword forging hall, only the sounds of Yun Chujiu beating the billet could be heard. Everyone’s hearts seemed to be beating along with the sounds of beating. Could Yun chujiu hold on until the end?
Finally, four hours had passed!
Everyone’s gaze fell on the sword billet. It was a sword billet that no one could find any flaws in. It was so perfect that they did not even need to hammer it again before they could proceed to the next step.
Yun chujiu collapsed onto the ground, exhausted. She panted heavily, but her eyes were dazzling. She had done it!
Elder Dongfang gave Yun chujiu a look of approval and turned to look at Elder Duanmu. “The sword billet that Yun Chujiu hammered is perfect. It’s not even worth ten points. What do you think, Elder Duanmu?”
Elder duanmu nodded. “Not bad. This sword slab is indeed worth ten points.”
Elder Dongfang smiled and said, “In that case, Yun Chujiu, Congratulations. You have passed the fourth round of the selection.”
Yun Chujiu revealed a faint smile on her face. However, she looked at the pale-faced hall master Yang and Hall Master Gao and said indifferently, “Thank you, elders. I wonder how these two blind judges will be dealt with?”
