Dense spiritual energy gathered on Zhang Xuan's hand. Seeing that Qin Xuan was about to be crippled by Zhang Xuan, Qin Xuan's second uncle abruptly stood up. However, just as he was about to make a move, more than ten auras locked onto him. There was no doubt that as soon as he made a move, the owners of these ten auras would instantly restrain him. Dense spiritual energy gathered on Zhang Xuan's hand. Seeing that Qin Xuan was about to be crippled by Zhang Xuan, Qin Xuan's second uncle abruptly stood up. However, just as he was about to make a move, more than ten auras locked onto him. There was no doubt that as soon as he made a move, the owners of these ten auras would instantly restrain him.
The owners of these auras were naturally experts from the Sword Sect. Although Zhang Xuan was about to cripple Qin Xuan, the Sword Sect had its own rules. Qin Xuan's second uncle couldn't directly interfere in the competition.
Being locked onto by these auras, Qin Xuan's second uncle's expression changed. He clenched his teeth. Clearly, he didn't want to see Qin Xuan being crippled by Zhang Xuan. However, this was the Sword Sect. He didn't dare to break the rules of the Sword Sect. Otherwise, the entire Qin Family wouldn't be able to bear the wrath of the Sword Sect.
His eyes were filled with anxiety. However, at this moment, a golden ray of light suddenly descended from the sky and protected Qin Xuan's body. At the same time, it also easily destroyed Zhang Xuan's attack.
Someone stepped in to save Qin Xuan, and that person was none other than Xiao Chen, who was sitting in the main seat.
At the last moment, Xiao Chen had saved Qin Xuan. Naturally, no one said anything about Xiao Chen's intervention. Even Zhang Xuan didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction. He only glanced at Xiao Chen in confusion. However, it was only a glance. Zhang Xuan didn't dare to meet Xiao Chen's gaze.
Looking down from above, Xiao Chen slowly said, "The victor has been decided. There's no need to kill. Today is only a competition. It's not the time to settle personal grudges."
Xiao Chen had no intention of blaming Zhang Xuan. However, upon hearing this, Zhang Xuan hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Sect Master, please forgive me. This junior was too agitated and did not stop in time. It was truly unintentional."
"It's fine," Xiao Chen said indifferently, not caring whether Zhang Xuan was telling the truth or not.
With Xiao Chen's help, the battle ended. Lin Qing immediately announced that Zhang Xuan had won.
Seeing that Qin Xuan was fine, Qin Xuan's second uncle secretly sighed in relief. At the same time, he secretly glanced at Qin Xuan on the high platform. A strange look flashed across his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
Qin Xuan was helped down the stage. Xiao Luan stepped forward and asked, "How are you? Are you alright?"
"It's fine. It's just that I've lost a lot of face," Qin Xuan said with a bitter smile.
With Xiao Chen's timely help, Qin Xuan was naturally fine. Seeing this, Xiao Luan smiled and said, "There's nothing to lose. You weren't in a good state, so you deserved to lose."
Xiao Luan spoke very casually with Qin Xuan. He wasn't afraid of hurting Qin Xuan's feelings. Hearing this, Qin Xuan could only shake his head and bitterly smile.
His state was indeed inferior to Zhang Xuan's. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been defeated so quickly.
With Qin Xuan's defeat, the only people left who were qualified to fight for first place were Zhang Xuan and Xiao Luan. The two of them still had a perfect record, so the first place would naturally come from one of them.
Because Zhang Xuan had just experienced a great battle, for the sake of fairness, the battle between the two was delayed for two hours to give Zhang Xuan enough time to recover. At the same time, the Sword Sect provided Zhang Xuan with pills to recover his spirit force and stamina for free.
While waiting for Zhang Xuan to recover, Xiao Luan didn't seem to be nervous at all. She chatted with Qin Xuan from time to time. As for what happened yesterday, the two of them had a tacit understanding not to mention a single word.
After thinking about it last night and the crushing defeat from before, Qin Xuan had thought it through.
Of course, this didn't mean that Qin Xuan had chosen to give up on liking Xiao Luan. Instead, he had thought it through and realized that he wasn't worthy of Xiao Luan at all.
Xiao Luan was Xiao Chen's daughter, and he was only the young master of the Qin Family. With such a status, Qin Xuan felt that he wasn't worthy of Xiao Luan.
Thus, Qin Xuan secretly decided that he would work hard in the future to become truly powerful. Even if he couldn't surpass Xiao Chen, he had to become someone who could protect Xiao Luan. Only then would he be worthy of Xiao Luan.
Qin Xuan still liked Xiao Luan, but this affection was buried deep in his heart. Before he had enough strength, Qin Xuan wouldn't reveal this love. Of course, in the future, Qin Xuan would still silently protect Xiao Luan. Only when Qin Xuan felt that he had enough strength would he confess to Xiao Luan again.
After thinking it through, Qin Xuan and Xiao Luan seemed to have returned to the time when they first met. They were much more relaxed when they talked.
Two hours wasn't a long time. Very quickly, Zhang Xuan had completely recovered. Lin Qing took the opportunity to announce the start of the next match.
Xiao Luan versus Zhang Xuan. This was the final match to determine the first place in the recruitment competition. If Zhang Xuan could defeat Xiao Luan, then he would undoubtedly be the first place in this recruitment competition.
As the two of them walked onto the stage, many of the surrounding Sword Sect disciples cast unfriendly gazes at Zhang Xuan.
He could clearly feel the warning in their gazes. It was as if they were saying, "Brat, be careful. If you dare to harm even a single hair on Xiao Luan's head, our senior brothers will teach you a lesson."
Most of the senior disciples in the Sword Sect knew Xiao Luan, so they naturally paid close attention to Xiao Luan's match. Moreover, because Zhang Xuan was ruthless when he attacked Qin Xuan, they immediately glared at Zhang Xuan as a warning.
Zhang Xuan was puzzled. Why did so many senior disciples suddenly look at him with such hostility? Naturally, Zhang Xuan didn't know that it was all because of Xiao Luan. However, under such gazes, Zhang Xuan felt very uncomfortable.
Forcefully suppressing the nervousness in his heart, Zhang Xuan looked at Xiao Luan and revealed a smile. "Beauty, we meet again."
Hearing Zhang Xuan's words, Xiao Luan didn't reply. On the stage, Nangong Guan also smiled at Xiao Chen.
"Junior brother, this brat has guts. He actually dared to take liberties with Luan Luan."
Hearing Nangong Guan's words, Xiao Chen smiled and said, "It's a waste if one isn't frivolous. This Zhang Xuan is a good seedling, but his temperament still needs to be tempered."
With his current status, Xiao Chen naturally wouldn't bicker with a junior like Zhang Xuan. Moreover, Zhang Xuan's talent was indeed not bad. At the very least, among the new disciples recruited this time, he was definitely one of the best.
The only flaw was Zhang Xuan's personality and his narrow-mindedness.
However, this wasn't a big problem. With more tempering in the future, it wasn't impossible for him to become a talent.
Seeing that Xiao Chen didn't show any signs of anger, Nangong Guan smiled and didn't say anything else. She turned her head to look at the two people on the stage, waiting for the final result.
