Tianxing said, "Alright, next, let me explain the way this trial will proceed. You need to raise the longsword in your hand. When I say begin, throw your longsword up to a height of one hundred zhang. As it falls, catch it. In the end, the top one hundred performers will proceed to the final trial! Your performance will be judged by the height you can throw the longsword. The higher the sword goes, the better your final score will be. So, I hope you all try to throw your swords as high as possible, giving you a chance to enter the final trial!"
"Just that simple?" Everyone felt relieved, thinking that with this method, the stronger their physical strength, the better their chances to advance to the final trial.
