Atop the Demon Sect’s high platform, Lu Xun was standing next to Shen Yan, the bald man.
One was a bright guy, the other was a handsome lad.
Standing next to the short and ugly Shen Yan, Lu Xun looked like an immortal who had descended to earth.
He was wearing a simple black robe and carrying a pitch-black sword sheath.
His eyebrows were sharp, his nose was high, and his mouth slightly upturned, carrying a smile as refreshing as the spring breeze.
The light breeze occasionally blew his black hair, the strands seeming to touch the hearts of others…
Really ticklish.
From a young age, Xiao Ran believed in the saying “who said women are inferior to men”.
As a girl who had become a robust horse thief, and was later won over by Yan Bao, it could be seen that this woman had some deep-seated resistance towards men.
She didn’t like men.
She also knew quite well that she didn’t like men.
But for some reason, she just now had a feeling of being captivated at first sight.
Especially during the eye contact with him.
Perhaps Yan Bao would never have dreamed that the woman he was fond of was at this moment infatuated with the man he himself was fond of…
“So the man I lost to looks like this?” Xiao Ran said to herself.
Her initial discontent inexplicably disappeared.
At this moment, her master Zhao Suihan was also sizing up Lu Xun.
In her heart, Yan Li was unique, but if she were to say that the boy in front of her was the next Yan Li, she surprisingly didn’t feel angry.
The woman even started thinking that if she and Yan Li had a child who then grew up to look like this… the corners of her mouth unconsciously started rising.
Her gaze towards Lu Xun had changed from scrutiny at the beginning to gentleness now.
Lu Xun had a feeling that her gaze was akin to a mother’s fondness from the fans.
It was of the sort where they would shout “Lu darling! Mommy loves you!”
While Shen Yan and others were extremely respectful towards Zhao Suihan, Mao Nanbei was hiding behind Lu Xun with a look of resistance.
Lu Xun was shielding her; he didn’t want anyone else to touch his cat, not even if they were seniors, it was unacceptable.
After securely shielding Mao Nanbei, he greeted with a smile, saying, “Lu Xun has the pleasure of meeting Sister Suihan!”
The address of “sister” went straight into Zhao Suihan’s heart.
She found it quite intimate and affectionate.
When the gentle address came from Yan Li’s little junior brother, Zhao Suihan naturally felt joy in her heart.
She even hesitated whether to give Lu Xun a gift on their first meeting.
Looking at Lu Xun, Zhao Suihan grew increasingly satisfied and remarked, “The gentleman has gained a good disciple, and Yan Li a good junior brother.”
At this time, she turned her head to look at her disciple, and saw that Xiao Ran didn’t say anything.
Lu Xun has performed all formalities, how can you be impolite?
So, she said to Xiao Ran, “Ran’er, aren’t you going to quickly pay your respects to Uncle Lu?”
Xiao Ran was slightly startled, but dared not violate her master’s words.
The respect Lu Xun showed Zhao Suihan was as per the etiquette between equals, while the respect Xiao Ran was showing Lu Xun was according to the etiquette of a junior.
As mentioned before, Xiao Ran is typically transformed into what seems like a gentlewoman by the Luotian Sect. She slightly bent her body, and said respectfully, “Xiao Ran pays her respect to Uncle Lu.”
Lu Xun nodded at her, accepted it calmly, and said, “There is no need for so much formality.”
His mood was pretty good.
World Protagonist level junior +1!
The guests filled the venue and took their seats one after another.
Out of the Seven Major Sects, representatives from the other Six Major Sects had come.
One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain came together, with the troops from both sides standing in one line and advancing together.
On what grounds does One Sword Mountain move ahead of Ten Thousand Sword Mountain?
Why does Ten Thousand Sword Mountain have to make its appearance behind One Sword Mountain?
Therefore, whenever there is a big event, these two sects are basically squabbling over the most minute details.
Lu Xun glanced at the group from One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain and noticed that Ye Sui’an was not there.
This suddenly made him feel somewhat unaccustomed.
Ye Sui’an used to stick around like a plaster, but now there was a legitimate reason to come to the Demon Sect, yet he didn’t come?
“This isn’t right, shouldn’t little Ye be the most enthusiastic one at this time?” Lu Xun wondered.
Could it be that he had slipped into the Challenger’s group?
Does he want me to Point Out to him again?
Yes, in addition to the guests, there will also be Challengers today.
Among the Seven Major Sects, any sect that has this big competition will allow an Outer Sect Disciple from any faction to challenge them.
This is an expression of confidence!
Generally, there won’t be many challengers, but there are always some each time.
Among them, some are truly dedicated to their path, hoping to compete with the disciples of the Great Sects and hone their skills.
Of course, many others just want to seize the opportunity to become famous or show off.
And in the future, this situation will intensify.
Because they are attracting more and more casual game players.
When people have nothing to do, they go to other Sects to fight, show off, and it’s pretty thrilling, isn’t it?
This kind of thing is popular among players, Lu Xun also participated a few times in his previous life, it was quite interesting.
Especially when players of two factions dislike each other, they especially enjoy causing trouble on these big days.
Of course, that is a thing for the future.
Right now, the players are busy leveling up, and even can’t fly with objects yet, so traveling is difficult.
Running around from afar, isn’t it tiring?
Isn’t it better to use that time leveling up, aren’t experience points rewarding enough?
Therefore, there aren’t many players who come to act as the challengers in this Outer Sect Competition, but in the future Inner Sect Competitions and other contests, you will often see the figure of these casual players.
The rules of the Demon Sect are quite simple and brutal: the challenger can initiate a challenge against any Outer Sect Disciple of the Demon Sect. If the Demon Sect Disciple is defeated, they are directly eliminated from the Outer Sect Competition. If the Demon Sect Disciple wins, it is considered as winning the first round of the big competition.
This rule is brutally straightforward, but it also fits the Demon Sect’s style.
Under normal circumstances, it is unlikely for the Demon Sect’s disciples to win all the challenges.
None of the Seven Major Sects could achieve this.
Keep in mind, the tail of a phoenix may not necessarily be able to defeat the head of a chicken.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as it is mainly the Demon Sect disciples who win, this way they won’t lose face.
When Lu Xun had nothing to do, he opened the forum to see that indeed, some players from the Demon Sect were doing a “live broadcast”.
However, this was to be expected, since a grand event like this was the first of its kind since the public test began.
Many players who couldn’t be present at the venue happily read the text descriptions and watched the videos recorded by others.
Moreover, countless people were indeed keeping an eye on the results of the Outer Sect Competition!
Because this represented the chance for them to cozily attach to the grand Purple Palace!
“I hope this Outer Sect Competition can be successfully held,” Lu Xun thought, wishing his own Sect good luck.
So many people on the forum were watching, just like watching a live broadcast on the internet.
These players are now scattered throughout the Heavenly Dust Continent.
If anything happened to the Demon Sect during the big competition, it would be a huge embarrassment.
He hopes it’s not a jinx.
As all the guests were seated, the Demon Sect’s Outer Sect Competition officially began.
