Lu Xuan directly returned to his residence. After some thought, he did not rush to enter, and instead knocked on Lin Xinyi's door.
Upon seeing Lu Xuan's return, Lin Xinyi was naturally overjoyed. Lu Xuan had been gone for such a long time, and she naturally missed him dearly. The moment she saw him, she immediately gave him a hug.
However, the two did not have the time to exchange intimate words before Xia Ye and Xing Feng arrived together. They had found out about Lu Xuan's return from the other disciples.
After completing the previous mission, the two had obtained eight thousand contribution points, enough for them to squander for a long time. To the majority of the disciples, eight thousand contribution points was a considerable amount of wealth, and they were not as extravagant as Lu Xuan.
"Lu Xuan, the day of your battle with Lin Tian will be in three days. Are you confident in your victory?" Xia Ye asked.
"Yeah, you've been in the limelight for too long. Your battle has practically spread throughout the entire inner sect, and I reckon that there will be many disciples coming to watch." Xing Feng also opened his mouth to speak.
"I can't say that I'll definitely win, but if Lin Tian does not have enough trump cards, and his strength is still the same as the last time we met, I have ninety percent confidence in defeating him!"
The two were shocked by Lu Xuan's words. Ninety percent confidence was practically no different from absolute victory. One must know that Lin Tian's strength was at the advanced seventh-layer of the Body Refinement Realm.
"However, I reckon that he has been bitterly training for the past three months, and perhaps his strength has improved again." Lu Xuan continued.
Xia Ye nodded her head: "I've also asked around. It seems that Lin Tian has been extremely low-profile during this period of time, and has been bitterly training. I reckon that he's also preparing for his battle with you."
Speaking of which, Lin Tian's pressure in this battle was much greater than Lu Xuan's. He was the number one disciple in the Sword Sect, and if he lost to a new disciple who had only been in the sect for less than half a year, it would truly be a loss of face.
On the other hand, even if Lu Xuan lost, it would at most affect his domineering momentum, and he would not be the target of criticism. Therefore, it was not without reason that Lin Tian suspected that Lu Xuan was using him to climb up the ranks. The pressure on the two could not be compared.
"Lu Xuan, can you tell us what level your strength has reached?" Xing Feng could not help but ask. Ninety percent confidence in defeating Lin Tian was a rather terrifying concept.
After a slight hesitation, Lu Xuan decided not to hide it from the two of them. In any case, the results would be revealed in three days, so he bluntly said, "I'm still one step away from the sixth tier of Body Refinement."
After a slight hesitation, Xia Ye and Xing Feng looked at each other, and both saw a trace of astonishment in each other's eyes.
The last time they parted with Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan was only at the fifth level of the Body Refinement Realm. But now, in three months' time, he had practically advanced by an entire small realm!
This speed of improvement made them feel ashamed of their inferiority. Thinking back to when Lu Xuan was only at the fourth level of the Body Refinement Realm, Xing Feng and Xia Ye were at the fifth level. Now that Lu Xuan was about to break through to the seventh level, they were still at the fifth level. However, Xing Feng had already reached the peak of the fifth level, and was about to break through to the sixth level, while Xia Ye was at the fifth level.
"Your speed is indeed monstrous. Even Chenxi can't compare to you. Have you really been practicing that enchantment magic during this period of time, and not hiding away to cultivate?" Xia Ye sighed.
Lu Xuan smiled. It was because he felt that he had reached a bottleneck that he started to practice the Dao of Talismans. If he had really been in seclusion, he would have only barely broken through to the sixth level.
He patted Xia Ye's shoulder and said, "When you have time, you should also train your soul force. It will greatly benefit your strength and breakthroughs."
With regards to Lu Xuan's words, the two naturally remembered them. Based on their relationship, there was no need for Lu Xuan to lie to them. He was definitely speaking from experience.
"Alright, let's not talk too much. You and Xinyi haven't seen each other for a long time. Recently, she has been missing you so much that she can't wait to run to the Enchantment Hall to find you. But she's worried that she'll disturb your cultivation. You should accompany her well. Back then, there were so many talented youths in Lin City who wanted to pursue Xinyi, but she didn't even spare them a glance. Instead, she's dead set on you."
Xia Ye smiled and said. Now that the relationship between Lu Xuan and Lin Xinyi was no longer a secret, the two naturally spoke without restraint.
Lu Xuan smiled awkwardly. It was a good thing that Lin Xinyi didn't go to the Enchantment Hall to find him. Otherwise, if he ran into Chen Xiaohan, he would probably have a headache.
Just as he turned around and was about to leave, Xia Ye seemed to suddenly remember something. She immediately turned her head and said, "Oh right, are you sure that you have a ninety percent chance of beating Lin Tian? Then Xing Feng and I will place a heavy bet on you!"
Lu Xuan was slightly startled and said, "What heavy bet?"
This time, before Xia Ye could speak, Xing Feng chuckled and said, "A group of deacons from Armament Pavilion have opened a bet on the outcome of the battle between you and Lin Tian. Many inner sect disciples have gone to place their bets. Naturally, we want to go and make some money."
Lu Xuan immediately understood and scolded with a smile, "I was wondering why the two of you were so kind, coming to find me as soon as I came back. So you were here to sound me out. Hmm … what are the odds now?"
Hearing that someone had opened a bet, Lu Xuan was a little tempted. He was quite confident in himself. If he could take this chance to make some money, it would not be a bad idea.
"Lin Tian's odds are one to one, and you're one to one and a half. There are still a few people who favor Lin Tian. However, this is naturally the best. If you win, then we will make a huge profit."
"So that's how it is. Then help me place a bet as well. Bet thirty thousand contribution points on me winning!" Lu Xuan's first move was a big one!
The reward he received from the Sword Spirit Challenge and the reward he received from the mission tower added up to more than thirty thousand contribution points. He had originally planned to use it to practice enchantment, but he didn't expect that he would be accepted as an in-name disciple by the Hall Master. Everything was provided for free, so he saved all of it.
Hearing this, Xia Ye and Xing Feng couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. "Damn, so big? Thirty thousand contribution points. If you win, you will be rich in an instant! "
According to the current odds, if Lu Xuan were to win, not only would he be able to get back his 30,000 contribution points, but he would also be able to get 45,000 contribution points as a reward. All in all, he would have a total of 75,000 contribution points. That was truly a huge sum of money.
Xia Ye and Xing Feng only had three thousand contribution points in total. They didn't expect Lu Xuan to bet ten times more than them. However, since Lu Xuan was betting so big, the two of them were undoubtedly more confident. If Lu Xuan ate the meat, they would just have to drink the soup.
Immediately, Lu Xuan transferred thirty thousand contribution points to Xia Ye and Xing Feng's nameplate and asked them to help him place a bet.
As Xia Ye and Xing Feng left, Lu Xuan chatted with Lin Xinyi for a while. During this period, they naturally couldn't avoid flirting. Then, he left and returned to his room. There were only three days left, and he couldn't afford to waste it.
Moreover, for Lu Xuan, other than breaking through to the sixth level of Body Refining Realm, he had one more thing to do, and that was to enchant the Black Iron Sword.
The Big Dipper Talisman was specially practiced for the Black Iron Sword. Now that the battle was imminent, he naturally had to raise the Black Iron Sword's combat power to the highest level.
Back in his room, Lu Xuan spread out a top-grade blank scroll and took out a bottle of ferocious beast's blood. This was something he had specially asked Chen Xiaohan to bring over. It wasn't a specially made liquid, but raw material that hadn't been processed in any way. It was the blood of the eighth grade Thick Earth Rhinoceros.
The Thick Earth Rhinoceros was incomparably strong, and it could even use earth-type Yuan energy to increase its own strength. Its blood was one of the best materials to create the Big Dipper Talisman's enchanted liquid. Ordinary enchanters had to use the refined liquid that had been neutralized, but for Lu Xuan, who possessed the ancient enchanting technique, it was undoubtedly the most primitive blood that could bring out the greatest value.
The Thick Earth Rhinoceros' blood was incomparably viscous, and it even contained a trace of the earth's energy. It was denser than the blood of ordinary ferocious beasts.
Lu Xuan stretched out his hand, and a trace of blood was drawn out. His hands flashed rapidly, and runes were quickly formed, accurately landing on the top-grade blank scroll in front of him.
He didn't know how many times he had practiced the Big Dipper Talisman, and he was already incomparably familiar with it. There wasn't the slightest mistake. As the last few runes landed, the Big Dipper Talisman suddenly flashed, and it was successfully completed!
Immediately after, he took out the dusty black iron sword and heavily placed it on the table. During this period of time, other than practicing the Talisman Dao, Lu Xuan had been cultivating Yuan energy, and he had not used it at all. However, the black iron sword was still as heavy as before, simple and unadorned. However, just by looking at its size, no one would doubt its strength.
Picking up the Big Dipper Talisman scroll that had just been inscribed, Lu Xuan directly shot a trace of Yuan energy into it, and activated a trigger rune on the scroll. In an instant, the Big Dipper Talisman seemed to have come to life.
The rune suddenly moved, and the entire rune flashed. A miniature version of the Big Dipper Talisman immediately flew out, and directly landed on the junction between the hilt and the blade of the black iron sword. The rune flickered for a moment, and immediately, a deep imprint was branded. The imprint looked exactly like the Big Dipper Talisman!
Enchantment successful!
Picking up the 81 kilogram black iron sword, Lu Xuan suddenly felt a wave of excitement. This was the first weapon that he had successfully inscribed and personally enchanted!
Although the runes on the Yearning Sword were also engraved using the Berserk Talisman, it was Xia Chenxi who enchanted it.
Unable to resist waving the black iron sword in his hand, Lu Xuan instantly felt the difference after the enchantment. With a casual swing of the sword, he felt that the power he exerted was much stronger than before. After carefully sensing it, it seemed to have increased by about 35%. This was definitely a terrifying increase.
Moreover, the increase in power was not the only effect of the Big Dipper Talisman. Lu Xuan operated his cultivation method, and Yuan energy instantly poured into the black iron sword. The originally heavy and edgeless black iron sword impressively had two sharp blades! However, this was not the original blade of the black iron sword. Instead, it was a blade formed by the Big Dipper Talisman converting Yuan energy into Stellar Energy, and it was distributed around the black iron sword to form a blade.
With this blade formed by Stellar Energy, the black iron sword simultaneously possessed the strength of a heavy sword and the sharpness of a longsword. It was undoubtedly more powerful, and more difficult to defend against!
