Chapter 143: 143, [The Non-Swordbearer First Showed Valor] (Asking for monthly votes at the end of the month!!)
Translator: 549690339
News about the teacher taking in a new disciple was widely heard among the cultivators in the cultivation world.
After all, the back mountain of the Demon Sect was a very special place, and every disciple of the teacher was extraordinarily talented, so people paid particular attention to them.
There were rumors about this person surviving a jump off a cliff, but no one knew how he did it.
However, in the past year, there was not much news about Lu Xun, and most of the information that did come out was rather fragmented.
Shen Yan and others had given orders to their disciples to not publicly mention Lu Xun, especially about him being a Natural Sword Embryo.
On the other hand, the disciples who recently joined One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain held Ye Sui’an in high regard, often extolling his status as an Innate Sword Body, filled with admiration.
So his progress in cultivation was widely reported, and everyone was well versed in it.
For example, when he acquired the Sword Heart, how he improved in his swordsman cultivation, or that he was already comprehending his Sword
Intent…
Yet, Lu Xun always remained mysterious.
Astonishingly, Shen Yan and the others have been waiting for a day like this for a while!
They laid all the groundwork!
Let them puff up their pride, the higher they rise, the better.
That way, even if they lose, it won’t be too humiliating; if they win, they’ll instantly build their reputation on the challenger’s shoulders!
The four major orthodox sects and the three major Demon Sects, these seven sects are renowned adversaries. Competition and comparison are inevitable. Who wouldn’t care about saving face?
Until now, the most impressive thing about Lu Xun, as seen by the cultivators, was him surpassing Xiao Ran from Luotian Sect in the Demon Sect trial ground [Turtle’s Longevity]—a fact discovered by someone who paid to enter the trial.
Xiao Ran had made a significant reputation in the cultivation world over these years. For Lu Xun to surpass Xiao Ran in [Turtle’s Longevity], speaks volumes of his abilities.
However, that is, after all, the trial ground of the Demon Sect, and Xiao Ran is deemed an outsider. Therefore, even though he fell behind, it is still premature to conclude that Lu Xun is stronger than Xiao Ran…at least the disciples of the Luotian Sect do not see it that way.
Ah yes, there’s another thing that makes Lu Xun famous—everyone who met him said he was exceptionally good-looking!
Since this has nothing to do with cultivation, it is widely spread outside.
The rest were just some vague rumors, with real and fake information intertwined.
In short, nobody dares to underestimate Lu Xun, after all, he’s the teacher’s disciple. But there are quite a few people are filled with curiosity about him, feeling that he seems low-key yet mysterious…
And the “low-key” Lu Xun now showed himself in front of the two major sword sects for the first time.
At least in terms of appearance, he truly deserved his reputation.
As to who’s older between him and Ye Sui’an, it doesn’t matter now; after all, their respective seniority is clear, and all Ye Sui’an can do is pay his respects courteously.
Being one of the main characters in “Heavenly Dust”, Ye Sui’an inevitably has his own romantic plot. 𝖋𝔯𝔢𝔢𝔴𝖊𝔟𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑.𝔠𝔬𝔪
He’s naturally a romantic sword cultivator. Leave out those one-night…cough, I mean, brief encounters, and his romantic interest is directed towards Lin
Chan.
Yes, towards Lin Chan!
Indeed, this is quite reasonable. Lin Chan is a Natural Sword Embryo who excels in Sword Dao, thus causing Ye Sui’an to admire her deeply.
However, according to the storyline in “Heavenly Dust”, Lin Chan is committed to her sword practice and there is always no spark between the two.
Among all the world protagonists, Lin Chan seems to be most annoyed by him.
At this moment, Ye Sui’an and Lin Chan haven’t had any interaction yet.
But even so, Lu Xun found it discomforting looking at him.
In his previous life, he didn’t feel anything towards this romantic plotline. But in this lifetime, Little Chan is his precious disciple, his treasured gem…this changes everything!
This jerk dares to have designs on my Little Chan!?
Although due to his reincarnation, Lin Chan’s storyline had deviated and what would happen next was uncertain. But the thought that this jerk might still harbor ill intentions made Lu Xun feel irritated.
A sudden irritation.
Before meeting Ye Sui’an, he didn’t feel much, even though he knew about this unrequited romantic plotline, he did not pay it much attention.
He was very nonchalant when drinking porridge, without thinking too much from that aspect.
However, after meeting him in person, he never expected to feel such emotions.
Perhaps this was the discrepancy between imagining something beforehand and experiencing it personally.
“That green robe really suits this playboy. So flashy!” Lu Xun looked at him and thought.
“His hair is too neat, there’s even a precious jade hairpin in his hair bun. So vain!” he continued to think.
“His Enlightenment is only 9, Sword Dao Talent is only 9, even his Charisma is only 9. Nothing remarkable at all, he doesn’t deserve my Little Chan!” he said inwardly.
“Tsk tsk, this man is not good enough!” he concluded.
As Lu Xun casually dismissed the formalities, he glanced at Lin Chan out of the corner of his eye and found that she was only looking at him, which made him somewhat satisfied.
After Ye Sui’an finished his salute and got up, he gripped his sword and said to Lu Xun, “Ye Sui’an from Sword Mountain, humbly asking for Elder Lu’s guidance!”
Lu Xun “smiled” at him, gripped his sword sheath, and said, “Lu Xun from the Demon Sect, I’ll do my best.”
His smile was very warm, especially warm.
The words “I’ll do my best” were very strong and resolute.
According to the rules, both fighters in the novice competition must suppress their cultivation base to the same level.
The experienced cultivators on the scene could easily see that Ye Sui’an had reached the Great Perfection of the Initial Realm, whereas Lu Xun had only just entered the Initial Realm.
Therefore, under the joint witness of Shen Yan and Ping Shanhai, Ye Sui’an’s realm was temporarily suppressed to the first level of the Initial Realm.
In fact, just because Lu Xun hadn’t cultivated for long, less than a year, even though his seniority was higher, no one felt he was bullying anyone.
On the contrary, Ye Sui’an appeared to have the upper hand.
With all preparations completed, the critical third sword-fighting challenge…
—officially began!
However, many people were still puzzled, why was Lu Xun only holding a sword sheath?
Where was his sword?
But since the competition had already started, all we need to do is wait and see.
Ye Sui’an’s longsword was named [Moon Emperor], a Spirit Sword.
It was not that One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain couldn’t provide him with a Purple-level Immortal Sword, but everyone thought that he might inherit a Divine Sword or a Sword Jade in the future. Therefore, they decided to just give him a transitional sword for now, as using an Immortal Sword might affect his future progress.
After all, for a cultivator in the Initial Realm, the power of an Immortal Sword can’t be fully utilized, so a Spirit Sword works just fine.
Ye Sui’an held the [Moon Emperor] in front of him. With his left hand on the sword sheath and his right hand on the hilt, he elegantly drew the sword!
Then… wait, what?
The sword didn’t come out of the sheath.
