Chapter 87: Chapter 87: The Legendary Genius Junior Ancestor VS White Lotus Outer Sect Junior Sister (Part 1)
Gu Shengyin knelt quietly within the great hall, her expression more composed than that of ordinary children.
One by one, the children walked forward, standing at a specific spot.
Gu Shengyin knew that there was a special formation there; once a person stepped into it, different reactions would be displayed.
“Lin Yisheng, Five Elements: Wood, Sword Heart Third Rank! Eligible for the outer sect,” a faint green halo appeared in the formation, and an elder announced his Sword Heart level.
“Lan Yingyue, Five Elements: Water, Sword Heart Fifth Order! Eligible for the inner sect.”
...
Gu Shengyin listened quietly as the elder announced one number after another.
In this world where swords were revered, the Sword Heart determined whether a person could become a swordsman. It also served as the basis for judging how far a swordsman could progress on the path of the Sword Dao.
The Sword Heart is divided into three levels.
Low-Grade Sword Hearts are first, second, and third ranks; Intermediate Sword Hearts are fourth, fifth, and sixth ranks; Superior Sword Hearts are seventh, eighth, and ninth ranks.
The higher the level of the Sword Heart, the higher the talent on the Sword Dao path and the better the compatibility with one’s Lifebound Sword.
The ranks of swordsmen are divided into Swordsman, Sword Master, Sword King, Sword Emperor, Sword Sovereign, Sword Sect, and the legendary Sword Saint who is said to be able to split heaven and earth with a single sword.
Though the Tianlan Great World reveres swords, those with Sword Hearts who can become swordsmen are indeed one in ten thousand.
As the largest Sword Cultivator sect in the Tianlan Great World, the Astrolabe Sword Sect naturally set much higher standards for selecting disciples than ordinary sects.
The hundreds of children in the hall at this moment had all passed the preliminary tests and were all beings with a Sword Heart.
At this time, a female child not far from Gu Shengyin stood up.
She caught Gu Shengyin’s attention; this girl was the target of Gu Shengyin’s mission in this world.
Bai Xinya was born into a Prominent Family of intermediate status in the Tianlan Great World; her mother was a concubine of the family head and was quite favored… Xinya had thus led a life of luxury from a young age.
Probably the biggest blow she received was this recruitment of new disciples by the Astrolabe Sword Sect.
“Bai Xinya, Five Elements: Water, Sword Heart First Rank, eligible for the outer sect.”
Bai Xinya’s eyes widened significantly, seemingly utterly astonished that her Sword Heart was merely at the measly first rank!
She appeared somewhat at a loss, her large eyes quickly filling with tears and looking rather pitiable.
The elder beside her, who rarely encountered such a situation, saw Bai Xinya like this and uncharacteristically softened his voice, coaxing her, “Don’t take it too much to heart. As long as you cultivate diligently, there are swordsmen who started with a low Sword Heart level but eventually became strong.”

Gu Shengyin watched with some curiosity, wondering, “I already know the plot; Bai Xinya clearly has very average talent, and her appearance is not earth-shatteringly beautiful, so why are there so many men willing to give everything just to make her happy? And why can’t even the most cold-hearted and ruthless people be cruel to her?”
The system suspiciously fell silent for a moment, then replied, “Host, you may not be aware, but in this world, there is something called a ‘White Lotus Halo’.”
Before Gu Shengyin could be enlightened on what exactly this White Lotus Halo was, she heard her own name.
“Gu Weixin.”
She rose unhurriedly, walking calmly to the center of the formation.
The elder in charge of testing even gave her an inquisitive glance; children brought here were usually around seven or eight years old. When coming for testing, they were either nervous or eager to try, but Gu Shengyin’s calmness was rare.
