Chapter 2052: Acquiring the Title of Sword Emperor

“That freak has actually done it… He’s passed the Sword Emperor Qualifications with a perfect score, and as a mortal, no less!”

The audience wasn’t just left in awe of Yuan’s feat. They felt a tinge of fear as well.

After all, there was nothing more terrifying than the unknown, and Yuan was the embodiment of that right now. From his identity to his true potential, nobody there knew anything about him.

Once it became clear that Yuan had conquered the final trial, the atmosphere at the Gates of Heaven shifted dramatically. Every recruiter present was poised to approach him the instant he emerged.

However, Senior Bai suddenly spoke, “Please refrain from approaching the participants until after the ceremony.”

At his words, those who had already begun inching toward the platform froze in place.

Defying Senior Bai’s warning wouldn’t just be disrespectful—it would make them look bad in front of the countless spectators, and worse, in the eyes of the very person they hoped to recruit.

Thus, these recruiters had no choice but to hold back their desire for now.

Moments after clearing the final trial, Yuan stepped through the portal and returned to the platform.

Under normal circumstances, such a feat would be met with thunderous applause, but this time, not a single voice was raised. The crowd was silent.

“Congratulations on completing the Sword Emperor Qualifications. You are now officially recognized as a Sword Emperor,” Senior Bai announced as he approached Yuan.

He then retrieved a beautifully crafted, sword-shaped badge, forged from a crystal that shimmered like a diamond, yet gleamed with a deep emerald hue.

“This is proof that you’re a Sword Emperor.”

He handed the badge to Yuan, who calmly accepted it.

Senior Bai continued, “Traditionally, those who earn the title of Sword Emperor are given the right to choose their own epithet. Have you decided on one yet?”

Yuan shook his head.

“That’s fine,” Senior Bai said with a slight nod. “You can reveal it whenever you’re ready.”

Of course, regardless of what name Yuan would eventually choose, the people had already given him one of their own—the Freak Sword Emperor.

“Then, do you have any words for everyone watching? A lot of them will try to recruit you after this.”

Yuan paused in thought for a moment before speaking, “There is one thing I’d like to say.”

At those words, every eye locked onto him, like hawks fixing their gaze on prey.

“I’ve heard that many of you wish to recruit me. I’m honored, but I simply don’t have the time to meet with everyone individually. So, if you’re serious about recruiting me, please direct your intentions to Celestial Overlord Qiang of the Celestial Overlords.”
