It is indeed Lu Xuan!
Lu Xuan's attire was far less eye-catching than Lin Tian's. He was just wearing ordinary disciple clothes, his hair was hung casually behind his head, and his clothes had many wrinkles, leaving traces of battle.
However, although his clothes are not as gorgeous and dazzling as Lin Tian's, his aura is no less impressive, his pace is neither hasty nor slow, there is no trace of arrogance on his face, and there is not even the slightest bit of nervousness on his face, as if he is here for an ordinary event. Dating in general.
Seeing so many disciples in the Jianzong Square, Lu Xuan couldn't help but be a little surprised. Although he knew that many people would pay attention to this battle, he didn't expect so many people to come. I'm afraid that the entire inner sect's disciples came. ** out of ten!
As Lu Xuan advanced, many disciples also gave way, and there were many who cheered him on.
"Lu Xuan, defeat that Lin Tian and give our new students a chance to win!"
"Lu Xuan, I bet 3,000 contribution points on you. If you win, I'll share half of it with you!"
…
As the shouts rang out, Lin Tian, who had been closing his eyes to recuperate, suddenly opened his eyes, and his sharp eyes instantly locked on Lu Xuan in the crowd.
"Damn it, we finally caught up, but it doesn't look like he has any signs of injury?" Xia Ye breathed a sigh of relief, but then became a little confused.
"Before, the deacon only said that Lu Xuan looked a little bad, and did not say that he was injured. He must have been too exhausted. However, Lu Xuan is here, why is Xinyi not seeing anyone?" Xing Feng was also a little puzzled.
"Could it be that Lu Xuan asked her to help with other things?" Xia Ye guessed.
"Maybe, just ask Lu Xuan later." Seeing that the duel was about to begin, Xing Feng could only suppress the doubts in his heart.
After passing through the dense crowd, Lu Xuan finally arrived at the field and stood opposite Lin Tian, less than fifty steps away.
"What a boy! He is indeed an extraordinary genius. He has actually achieved the sixth level of body refining! It has only been four months since he joined the sect!" Seeing Lu Xuan appear, Elder Xu couldn't help but stand up on the referee's bench and said excitedly , face full of excitement.
Elder Cheng and Elder Lin also looked shocked, and slowly suppressed the surprise in their hearts. Elder Cheng then said: "If I remember correctly, when Lu Xuan first joined the sect, he seemed to be only at the fourth level of body refining?" In just four months, I have broken through two small realms in succession. This kind of cultivation speed can be called a monster! The hope of the rise of my Sword Sect is probably tied to Lu Xuan. Old Xu, this time, you are here for me. The Sword Sect has found a peerless genius!"
Hearing Elder Cheng's praise, Elder Xu couldn't help but look bright. He brought Lu Xuan back from Lincheng. At this moment, Lu Xuan was showing so much strength, and he was undoubtedly glowing.
Even Elder Lin couldn't help but said: "Originally, I saw that A Tian had made some progress and thought that this battle would be won. Now it seems that this is not necessarily the case. Lu Xuan is stronger, seems to have fighting talent, right?"
Elder Cheng nodded: "The last time he broke into the sword forest was three months ago. That time, with the strength of the fifth level of body refining, he suddenly entered the top 100 of the overall list and killed the eighth level of body refining. Existence, now the strength has been improved to another level, and the combat power is quite terrifying!"
Then he seemed to realize something and glanced at Elder Lin beside him. Elder Cheng spoke again: "Of course, Lin Tian's winning rate in this battle may not be low. After all, his strength is still one level higher than Lu Xuan's, and The foundation is quite solid, but it’s still too early to talk about victory or defeat.”
Unexpectedly, Elder Lin waved his hands and laughed and said, "You don't have to take care of my thoughts. Yan Jiu and I were close friends back then. Speaking of it, Lu Xuan can be regarded as my descendant. And A Tian is too proud. He thinks that he is not as good as the previous ones because he has a short training time. If he can be defeated by Lu Xuan this time, it will be a good thing for him, let him know that there is a sky outside the world, and there are people outside the world."
"Sixth level of body refining... It seems that you did not disappoint me." Looking at Lu Xuan in front of him, Lin Tian spoke slowly.
To be honest, when he saw Lu Xuan's state, he couldn't help but be a little shocked. It took three months to reach a small state. This speed was really amazing.
When Lu Xuan heard this, he just smiled slightly and said: "I think you haven't slacked off in the past three months, right? If you still only have the seventh level of body refining, you will be hanging in the balance in this battle."
Faced with Lu Xuan's contemptuous words, Lin Tian did not get angry. He knew that the combat effectiveness of the guy in front of him could not be judged by his strength. When others said that he would challenge him with the strength of the sixth level of body refining, he would definitely sneer at it, but Lu Xuan is enough for him to take seriously.
"I am now at the peak of the seventh level of body refining. It is a pity that I have not been able to take the last step. Otherwise, you will never be my opponent." Although he acknowledged Lu Xuan's words, Lin Tian refused to show weakness. .
Lu Xuan smiled faintly. At the eighth level of body refining, was he really no longer his opponent? During this period, in addition to improving his strength, he also became a one-star spiritual talisman master. Even if he is at the eighth level of body refining, with his martial arts strength and the spiritual talisman scroll, he may not be incapable of fighting, and he will have the opportunity to fight. And win!
While the two were talking, some small commotions suddenly appeared in the crowd.
"Senior Brother Mo is here!"
"Senior Brother Cheng Wang is here too!"
"And Senior Brother Du Peng!"
…
"I didn't expect so many senior brothers to come. These are the number one members of each branch sect, and they are among the top ten in the overall list!"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Lin Tian himself is also in the top ten of the overall list. These senior brothers will naturally come to see his battles and understand Lin Tian's strength by the way. What's more, although Lu Xuan is a new disciple, his momentum is It’s too fierce, and it’s very likely to threaten them in the next sect competition.”
"Hey, why don't you seem to see Senior Brother Xu? I heard that Lu Xuan pointed his sword at Senior Brother Xu last time. Doesn't Senior Brother Xu pay attention to Lu Xuan?"
"Senior Brother Xu has already reached the eighth level of body refining. With Lu Xuan's current strength, I'm afraid he won't be able to pose a threat to him. Maybe he is practicing somewhere?"
…
The battle between Lu Xuan and Lin Tian actually attracted eight other people in the top ten on the overall list, except for the sword sect Xu Wenyang. This was really a huge honor.
"Lu Xuan, Lin Tian, although you have decided this battle privately, you two are the geniuses of our sword sect and there is no room for failure, so I, the two elders Xu and Lin, will be your referee together. , this battle is a sparring, not a battle of life and death, it ends as soon as the point is made, do you understand?" Elder Cheng stood up, and his majestic voice spread throughout the square.
"Disciple knows!"
Lu Xuan and Lin Tian bowed at the same time and said in unison.
Indeed, as Elder Cheng said, this battle is just a battle of exchanges. It is just to determine the winner. There is no hatred between the two sides.
If Lin Tian still had a trace of jealousy towards Lu Xuan at the beginning, then since the last time Lu Xuan made a strong move and pointed his sword at Xu Wenyang, this jealousy has disappeared. In any case, the two of them are from the same sect. , Lin Tian is not a ignorant person, especially his grandfather is an elder of the Sword Sect, and he is not allowed to fight privately.
And the main reason why he still accepted this battle was to defeat Lu Xuan once and find some psychological comfort. Now Lu Xuan's progress speed has been noticed by him. If it takes a while, I'm afraid he really is no match for Lu Xuan.
Seeing the friendly attitude between the two, Elder Cheng nodded with satisfaction. He really did not want to see conflicts between the two in the future. After all, no matter who they were, they were the hope for the rise of the Sword Sect.
"Very good, in that case, let's get started. If something unexpected happens, the other two elders and I will take action at any time to stop the decisive battle." After Elder Cheng finished speaking, he stepped back and gave the venue to Lu Xuan again. With Lin Tian.
When Elder Cheng retreated completely, the sword light flashed, and a long sword appeared in Lin Tian's hand.
Lifting the sword in his hand, Lin Tian slid his fingers over the sword body and slowly said: "This sword is called blood-drinking. It is a top-grade iron weapon. The sword is three feet long because it drank the blood of beasts when it was tempered. Therefore, the whole body is dark red, and the name of the sword comes from this. It is the sword I used before the sixth level of body refining. The weapon I use now is a treasure-level long sword, but I guess your weapon will not be too big. Okay, I won’t take advantage of the weapons.”
Lin Tian was quite upright. He clearly had a treasure-level long sword, but he didn't use it. Instead, he used the previous high-grade iron long sword to fight against the enemy.
However, his words made Lu Xuan feel envious. He didn't even have a high-grade iron weapon for treasure-level weapons. He only had an Acacia sword, which was a medium-grade iron weapon. As for the Black Iron Sword, it had not been forged yet. , I am afraid it is similar to the Xiangsi Sword. Although the material is excellent, it is only close to the top grade iron.
After the introduction, Lin Tian spoke again: "Show your sword!"
Without hesitation, Lu Xuan also took out his weapon from the storage ring.
The Black Iron Sword, which weighs ninety-nine and eighty-one kilograms, is three feet and three inches long, is an inch thicker, is completely black, and has a faint red light, is finally unveiled in front of everyone!
Before, whether he was breaking into the sword forest or practicing in the Five Elements Cave, Lu Xuan had never shown this sword to others. The only one who knew about his practice of epee was Lin Xinyi.
However, as soon as the Black Iron Sword came out, everyone was stunned. Whether it was Lin Tian opposite him, the three elders on the referee's bench, or the many disciples surrounding him, they all looked puzzled.
These days, there are still people in the Sword Sect who practice epee? Moreover, this heavy sword looks a little too strange. If it didn't have a hilt in Lu Xuan's hand, it would look like a door panel.
In fact, if they hadn't known that Lu Xuan was a disciple of the Sword Sect, they probably wouldn't have thought of the epee, but would have regarded Lu Xuan as a disciple of the Qimen Sect, using the Qimen weapon.
"This Lu Xuan, doesn't he use a long sword? When did he change to an epee?" Elder Lin couldn't help but said in shock.
