151: Chapter 151 Qualification for the Secret Realm

As soon as He Yufan spoke, everyone around him was quite surprised and immediately replied.

"Yes, Brother Fan, he's Su Lin. I heard he has a very close relationship with Gu Xinyue."

"Brother Fan, that guy is only at the eighth level of the Divine Aperture Realm. He hasn't even reached the Lingyun Realm. There's a hundred percent chance he won't be able to enter the Secret Realm of Swords."

Several lackeys nearby kept introducing information about Su Lin, but He Yufan didn't want to hear it at all.

His mind was entirely on Gu Xinyue, whom he had just mentioned.

He Yufan turned his head to look at Yu Haotian not far away, only to see that Yu Haotian had actually turned to look at him at the same time.

The two looked at each other and both broke into a smile.

"Yu Haotian, it seems the news was correct. Gu Xinyue will be absent from the Secret Realm of Swords this time."

"Hahaha, the heavens have opened their eyes! It seems Gu Xinyue didn't expect the Secret Realm of Swords to open early either."

"The tables have turned! The opportunity we've been waiting years for has finally arrived today!"

The two had been secretly watching to see if Gu Xinyue had come to Sword Saint Square. Until now, they could finally be certain that Gu Xinyue really couldn't make it this time.

At this moment, the two felt as if a giant boulder had fallen from their hearts, and at the same time, a great sense of excitement gushed out like a fountain.

They finally didn't have to be oppressed by Gu Xinyue anymore. Who would dare to compete with them in the Secret Realm of Swords this time?

"Is that Su Lin here to take Gu Xinyue's place?"

"Is that sword on his waist the phoenix feather?! Gu Xinyue actually gave him the phoenix feather?"

Although He Yufan and Yu Haotian didn't care much about Su Lin, they never took their eyes off him.

"He's just at the eighth level of the Divine Aperture Realm. Gu Xinyue wouldn't pin her hopes on him, would she?"

"What kind of judgment does Gu Xinyue have to actually give the phoenix feather to someone in the Divine Aperture Realm? He probably doesn't even have the qualification to enter the Secret Realm of Swords."

The two immediately began to mock. Gu Xinyue had finally been blind for once, and He Yufan and Yu Haotian were very happy to see her stumble badly.

As powerhouses at the Earth Venerable level, they naturally wouldn't personally take action against Su Lin. However, at this moment, the two immediately instructed several Lingyun Realm lackeys around them.

"Do you see that Su Lin? We'll settle Gu Xinyue's debts over the years on his head first!"

"Once I obtain the fortuitous opportunity of this secret realm, even Gu Xinyue won't be my match. At that time, I'll settle the score with her personally!"

"Let's start with this Su Lin!"

The group of Lingyun seniors surrounding He Yufan and Yu Haotian immediately cupped their hands in agreement.

"Hahaha, if this Su Lin manages to enter the secret realm, I will definitely make him pay a bloody price!"

"We can't beat Gu Xinyue, but can we not beat a freshman? Brother Fan, don't worry, this Su Lin is finished."

"Divine Aperture Realm? I could blow him apart with a single breath."

Although everyone wanted to give Su Lin a beating, no one believed he had the qualification to enter the Secret Realm of Swords. Based on previous years, entering the Secret Realm of Swords required not only an extremely high talent in Sword Dao but also a minimum of the Lingyun Realm.

These were the experiences summarized by everyone based on the situation in previous years.

And Su Lin was currently only in the Divine Aperture Realm, so it could basically be declared that he would be unable to enter the Secret Realm of Swords.

"Hahaha, in a while, when he isn't chosen by the secret realm, won't it be even more embarrassing? Not just for him, but for Gu Xinyue as well, to actually find someone unqualified to come."

"Indeed, there has never been a case of someone in the Divine Aperture Realm being able to enter the Secret Realm of Swords. freshmen come just to watch the excitement; they simply aren't qualified to enter."

Everyone seemed to have predicted the outcome and waited quietly for the secret realm to begin. Time was running out, and the Secret Realm of Swords would soon begin choosing the candidates to enter.

Twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and a change immediately appeared in the sky.

Streaks of light scattered down from the word 'Sword' in the sky, and several large blue and white swords stood suspended in the air, forming a sword formation that shrouded everyone above.

"It's coming!!"

"The selection has begun!"

Those with experience immediately became excited upon seeing the changes in the sky. Many people clasped their hands together and began to pray.

"Choose me! God bless, you must choose me!"

"Three years! I haven't been through the Secret Realm of Swords once! Choose me this time!"

"I've been practicing the sword since I was a child and have cultivated the Sword Dao for over a decade. If I'm not chosen this time, I'm really going to give up!"

The excitement of the people around was incredibly frantic. Some were even moved to tears, seemingly treating this secret realm as their chance to leap through the dragon gate.

Su Lin was a bit surprised to see such a scene for the first time.

"As expected of a secret realm created by a Saint King Grade powerhouse..."

"To actually drive people so crazy."

Su Lin looked up at the sword formation composed of those blue and white giant swords in the sky, his expression unchanged. He saw ripples appearing in the space around the sword formation, presumably starting to connect to that mysterious secret realm world.

Swish, swish, swish!

Streaks of light shot out from the blue and white giant swords, illuminating figures one by one with unerring precision.

Anyone illuminated by the blue and white light jumped up in excitement.

"I'm in! I can enter the secret realm!"

"Three years! I've finally been chosen!"

Initially, most of the light fell within the Sword Dao Academy, making people from other academies envious.

"As expected, every year people from the Sword Dao Academy are chosen first, and they have the most people selected."

"I'm so envious. If only I had applied to the Sword Dao Academy back then!"

Once a certain number of people from the Sword Dao Academy had been chosen, a few scattered beams of blue and white light also descended onto the heads of others.

While the people from the Sword Dao Academy were excited to be chosen, those from other academies were even more like Fan Jin passing the imperial examination; many were streaming with tears and snot.

"Wuwuwu, I've finally been chosen. You don't know how long I've been waiting..."

"Heavens! What a stroke of luck. I just wanted to be a spectator, but I was actually chosen!"

While these people were overjoyed, what they didn't know was that many people in the Sword Dao Academy not far away had already silently memorized their appearances.

Some cautious students from the outer academies, after being chosen by the blue and white light, immediately took out a black robe or a mask to quickly cover their features.

More blue and white light illuminated the geniuses of the Sword Dao Academy. Unexpectedly, it wasn't over yet. The word 'Sword' in the sky suddenly let out a loud boom, and two crimson lights shone onto the very front of the Sword Dao Academy's group.

"Whoa!! Red light!"

"This means they've already been recognized by the Secret Realm of Swords in advance. The chances of obtaining fortuitous opportunities after entering the secret realm will be even higher!"

"He Yufan and Yu Haotian! The ones illuminated by the red light are indeed them!"

Seeing He Yufan and Yu Haotian in the red light, everyone saw confident smiles on their faces, as if it was just as they had expected.

The blue and white light only represented an initial recognition by the Secret Realm of Swords and the acquisition of the qualification to enter.

The red light represented the Secret Realm of Swords' acknowledgment of their excellence in the Sword Dao and their Sword Dao talent. It represented a completely different status, like the difference between an ordinary player and a VIP player. Their chances of obtaining fortuitous opportunities after entering the secret realm would be higher, and their gains would also be greater.

After the two red lights appeared, those that followed were all ordinary blue and white lights. Everyone felt that things were coming to an end.

Unexpectedly, the sky let out an even louder roar than before. The white clouds next to the word 'Sword' were directly swept back, and layer upon layer of ripples appeared in the blue sky.

A dazzling golden light descended from the sky. When everyone saw the golden light appearing, their pupils contracted as if they were seeing a god descending to the mortal world.
