Master Zong hovered in mid-air, with Master Hai and Master Shi beside him, ready for any loss of control the sword embryo might exhibit; this was only the second sword-giving ceremony of the Sword Sect, still a learning experience for them.
Some sword embryos had already begun swirling above certain cultivators' heads, a preliminary sign of connection through divine intent. To the relief of the three masters, the number of sword embryos revolving above the Sword Sect disciples was significantly greater than those on cultivators from the outer path. This was good, for if the sword embryos all chose outsiders, it wouldn't just be a matter of embarrassment but a problem with the Sword Sect's heritage.
Aside from the overall control, the masters' main focus was on four individuals. Master Shi still had some dissatisfaction,
"Junior Brother Zong, you're still too aggressive. If it were up to me, I wouldn't dare accept any of these four guys."
