Seeing that no one else dared to challenge him, Lu Xun flew back to his seat on the high platform under the adoring gaze of the Outer Sect Disciples.
Mao Nanbei kicked his small, adorably out-of-the-line feet in the air and said, “Little Junior Brother, you performed quite well!”
Lu Xun grinned slightly, losing any pretense of seriousness in front of the little girl, and said, “Not too bad.”
Lin Chan watched Lu Xun from the side. The handsome master whom she saw every day remained the same handsome master, not giving her a strong “he’s a sword” impression.
Lu Xun sat there, feeling Little Chan sneaking glances at him from time to time.
“Little Chan is grown up now, a fully-fledged young lady. It’s only natural for her to be attracted to handsome men, but… don’t end up like Ji Li,” Lu Xun thought to himself.
He hoped she wouldn’t get the same idea as Ji Li to “ride her elder brother’s coattails.”
Unlike the carefree attitudes here, the elders from One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain had a somewhat heavy mood.
This Lu Xun was too special, even more unique than Yan Li, who also had a Natural Sword Embryo!
Being extremely talented in Sword Dao is one thing, but his ability to suppress Sword Cultivators was terrifying!
If his cultivation base was shallow now, one day, when he becomes a Great Cultivator above the sixth realm or even reaches a cultivation base comparable to Yan Li…
He would then be a more terrifying existence for Sword Cultivators than Yan Li!
For Sects like One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, which were composed entirely of Sword Cultivators, Lu Xun would be an oppressive mountain that left one breathless!
Heaven was indeed biased. All the Sword Fate over these years seemed to favor the Demon Sect!
Until now, the news about Lin Chan also being a Natural Sword Embryo has been well concealed by people like Shen Yan.
According to that bald Shen Yan, they would use this piece of information to upset One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain in a few years.
Will the minds of these elders collapse then?
The Outer Sect competition resumed orderly after the previous hiccup.
If there was a duel that interested Lu Xun, he would pay attention to it. If none of the twenty stages held any of his interest, he would slack off under everyone’s watchful gaze and browse the forum.
The homepage of the forum was practically monopolized by him now, full of posts about the Purple Palace.
Regardless of videos or pictures, they all sparked enthusiastic discussions among silly gamers.
This was exactly the result Lu Xun wanted.
Tired of reading the praise on the forum, Lu Xun glanced at Shen Yan and the others, noticing that they were all quite focused on the battles.
This was quite tough for them.
After all, most of the Outer Sect Disciples were still quite weak. The way they fight, in Lu Xun’s eyes, was akin to little brats playing in the mud.
Shen Yan and the others were Great Cultivators. They would undoubtedly find battles of this level lackluster.
The reason they were focused was that they represented the future hope of the Demon Sect!
However, it seemed that a few buds of the Demon Sect were… growing crookedly.
In fact, the battles between the Outer Sect Disciples of the Demon Sect were very serious.
The battles between the Demon Sect Disciples and Demon Sect Players were somewhat serious.
However, the duels between Players were all over the place, with all sorts of ridiculous moves!
Lu Xun, despite being so far away, could smell a certain “charming” aroma!
These battle videos were also recorded and posted online, with their comment sections filled with repeated phrases like “You’re so charming!”
Lu Xun waited for a long time before Ji Li finally took to the stage.
Today’s Ji Li looked slightly different from before.
Others might not notice the difference, but Lu Xun could.
“It seems she’s wearing the soft armor I gave her,” Lu Xun thought to himself.
Ji Li already had a great figure and an admirable figure, it was quite “upright”.
With the help of her close-fitting soft armor, it was even better now.
She was up against a male cultivator from the outer sects, who became rather flustered upon learning she was his opponent.
Ji Li was already an idol among the outer sect subset. Everyone knew she had old ties with the Young Elder and her admiration for him was no secret in the outer sect.
Of course, as there were so many on Team Young Elder, everyone was a tad envious, but they all sincerely felt it made sense.
The two showed courtesy to each other, and the fight began.
Before Lu Xun joined the sect, he spent nearly a month training Ji Li.
He would spar with her every day and relentlessly whip her into shape.
After being whipped for so long, Ji Li began to understand.
It must be said, Ji Li’s enlightenment and talent were not bad.
Though she was often described as “brains in the clouds, chest everlasting”, she was indeed gifted in cultivation.
During the month in the mountain, she was with Lu Xun day and night. Apart from developing a craving for his flashiness, her strength was also on the rise.
She was already one of the top cultivators among the outer sect disciples, one with the highest natural talent. Now, she was starting to show all the signs of the rising star!
At this moment, her sword danced in the air, the Wedding Sword left a silver light in the sky, and Lu Xun simultaneously sensed Ji Li’s Sword Heart.
Yes, Ji Li had also understood the Sword Heart early on, and under Lu Xun’s guidance of his Sword Intent, she was on the verge of understanding Sword Intent.
However, the Sword Intent was mysterious in nature – it could only be comprehended, not transmitted. As to when she could understand it, it would depend on her.
Lu Xun was watching intently when he felt his chair being kicked.
It felt like being completely engrossed in a movie in the theater only to be disturbed by some brats kicking the seats.
After kicking with her little foot, Mao Nanbei said: “Little Junior Brother, did you give that soft armor you took from me to Ji Li?”
She sensed the presence of her armor on Ji Li.
“Yes.” Lu Xun replied, “What’s wrong, Fourth Sister?”
Mao Nanbei shook her head, looked at her own armor, and then looked at Ji Li’s, saying: “Nothing, just feeling a bit dizzy.”
Lu Xun smiled subtly, how could he not see Mao Nanbei’s little thoughts?
But he thought the little girl was quite nice too, each had their advantages.
“Clang!” With a rush of collisions, Ji Li’s sword sent the male cultivator down from the stage.
Her performance was highly noticeable. Lu Xun turned his head and looked at the audience seats on the high platform. A lot of great cultivators were looking at Ji Li and nodding slightly.
Somehow, seeing everyone’s recognition of Ji Li, Lu Xun felt a strong sense of satisfaction deep down.
Then, he was surprised to find that the smile on Shen Yan’s face was even brighter than his own.
Although Shen Yan was very ugly, and many ugly people tend to look even uglier when they smile…
Shen Yan looked at Ji Li, and he was extremely satisfied in his heart!
“She’s truly my chosen disciple!” he thought to himself.
He glanced at his fellow Peak Masters present and saw that they too had the intention of accepting Ji Li as a disciple.
“Hehe! There’s no chance for you all this time! I was one step ahead. I invested heavily when she first joined the sect, even gave a welcoming gift!” Shen Yan thought, laughing wildly in his heart.
He had paid a big chunk of Flame Essence!
Shen Yan thought he was on a winning streak.
“On my journey of being a mentor, although I, Shen Yan, have been stumbling for so long, I have finally taken a very steady first step!”
(ps: Just now, I found out that nearly 2000 readers’ group is gone again. … To join a group, just search for Group 2 or v group in the introduction. Group 1 has been blocked. I don’t know how the mischievous ones in the group managed to make this the nth one now!
It’s a bit melancholy. After thinking about it, let’s ask for monthly tickets.)
