After experimenting with the changes in the mysterious iron sword, Lu Xuan nodded his head in satisfaction before keeping it once again.
Everything was ready except for the crucial moment, which was three days later. However, before that, he still needed to raise his strength a step further.
The meridians needed to be refined throughout the body during the Meridians stage, but the most important ones were still the main meridians. Right now, Lu Xuan only lacked the last two meridians.
Lu Xuan sat cross-legged and calmed his mind. The Taiyi Convergence Technique began to operate slowly. Strands of elemental energy were continuously transported to the vicinity of the Ren and Du meridians. Lu Xuan was already very familiar with the process of refining meridians.
… …
Three days later, in the morning, Lu Xuan exhaled a mouthful of impure air and slowly opened his eyes. Today was the day of his arranged duel with Lin Tian.
The [Taiyi Origin Method] did not disappoint him. Last night, he had successfully refined the two meridians. Right now, Lu Xuan was truly at the advanced Meridians stage!
As he stood up and stretched his body, the sound of bones cracking could be heard. After three days of recuperation, his aura had already been raised to the peak.
At this moment, the Sword Sect welcomed a liveliness that had not been seen for a long time.
It was still early in the morning, and there were still a few hours before the duel between Lu Xuan and Lin Tian. However, the square of the Sword Sect was already filled with disciples. Not only were there disciples from the Sword Sect, there were also disciples from the other eight branch sects. Moreover, the disciples were not limited to inner sect disciples. Some outer sect disciples who had nothing to do also swarmed over.
There were many disciples in the Wind Sword School. Just the inner sect disciples alone numbered in the thousands. Including the outer sect disciples, the number was even more frightening.
Fortunately, the Sword Sect used to be the number one sect in the Wind Sword School. Although it was now desolate, its territory was still there. The square of the Sword Sect could be said to be the largest square in the entire Wind Sword School.
Even so, it was currently overcrowded. Usually, the duels in the inner sect were not few, and there was no lack of battles between the top ten in the overall ranking. However, the popularity of this duel was far less than this one. Perhaps only the annual Great Sect Competition could surpass this duel in terms of popularity.
After all, this duel was quite a big deal. A new disciple of the Sword Sect was challenging the number one disciple of the Sword Sect. One was ranked tenth in the overall ranking, while the other had entered the sect less than half a year ago. Moreover, this new disciple's popularity was so great that it even surpassed the top ten in the overall ranking. More importantly, many people believed that this new disciple could win!
According to the news from the Armament Pavilion's deacons, the number of people betting this time was three to two against Lin. This meant that nearly sixty percent of the disciples betting that Lin Tian would win, and forty percent betting that Lu Xuan would win.
Although the number of people betting on Lu Xuan was less than Lin Tian, to be able to rely on his identity as a new disciple to win this kind of popularity, Lu Xuan should be proud.
After all, no matter what, Lin Tian was still in the top ten of the overall ranking. His strength had even reached the seventh rank of the Refinement Realm three months ago. If Lu Xuan could defeat him, wouldn't that prove that Lu Xuan's strength was comparable to the peak of the seventh rank of the Refinement Realm? One had to know that Lu Xuan was only sixteen years old and had entered the sect less than half a year ago. This was too monstrous, and it was hard for people to believe.
However, no matter how the crowd guessed, as long as they waited until noon, after the battle between the two, the mystery would be revealed.
The sun rose higher and higher, and the weather gradually became hotter. Fortunately, the strength of the disciples in the plaza was not low, and they could still endure this bit of heat. However, what made the crowd anxious was that the two main characters had already not arrived.
Xia Ye, Xing Feng, Lin Xinyi, and the others had also arrived at the plaza early and stood at the very front of the Sword Sect's new disciples. In this year's batch of new disciples, other than Lu Xuan, Xia Ye and Xing Feng were the strongest, so there was no doubt that they stood at the very front. In addition, the three of them had a close relationship with Lu Xuan, and Lin Xinyi and Lu Xuan were publicly recognized as lovers. Not to mention the new disciples, even the veteran disciples had to give them some face.
"Xinyi, it's almost noon, why hasn't Lu Xuan appeared yet? Don't let others think that he's afraid of Lin Tian." Having not seen Lu Xuan for a long time, Xia Ye was the first to be unable to bear it.
"He told me that he hasn't fought for a long time, and he wants to go to the back of the mountain to warm up. He should probably be here soon." Lin Xinyi was rather calm. When Lu Xuan left in the morning, he had told her about it.
"Go to the back of the mountain? It's better to go to the Sword Forest! What if something happens there? "Xia Ye said, slightly worried.
Hearing this, Xing Feng smiled and said, "The back of the mountain is a real fight. How can the Sword Forest compare? Don't jinx it. Lu Xuan is just going there to warm up. Moreover, he was able to take down the Striped Flame Tiger three months ago. Right now, he might even be able to fight against an eighth rank beast."
The group of newly matriculated disciples behind Xing Feng couldn't help but gulp when they heard this. Oh my god, Senior Brother Lu Xuan is too ferocious. The Striped Flame Tiger is a seventh grade ferocious beast! And he was able to take it down three months ago. If I was as strong as Senior Brother Lu, it would be enough. "
Just as the three were waiting for Lu Xuan's arrival, a martial practitioner dressed as a deacon suddenly walked over and found Lin Xinyi.
"This must be Junior Sister Lin, right? Just now, Junior Brother Lu Xuan asked me to inform you that he is waiting for you at Armament Pavilion and wants you to go there now. "
Hearing this, Xia Ye and the other two looked at each other.
"What is this Lu Xuan doing? He's not coming over right now, and he's even asking Xinyi to go to Armament Pavilion? "
However, Lin Xinyi became slightly nervous and hurriedly asked, "Is he alright? Is he injured?"
The moment Lin Xinyi said this, Xia Ye and Xing Feng's hearts trembled. Could it be that Xia Ye's jinx was right? Armament Pavilion sold all kinds of healing pills, and it just so happened that Lu Xuan had let them bet almost all of his contribution points yesterday. Could it be that he didn't have enough contribution points to buy medicine?
"I don't know if he's injured or not, but it looks like Junior Brother Lu's complexion is not very good," the deacon answered.
Hearing that Lu Xuan's complexion was not good, Lin Xinyi became even more anxious. "I will go right now. Please lead the way, Senior Brother Deacon."
"We will go with you and see what exactly is going on," Xia Ye and Xing Feng said in unison.
Lin Xinyi nodded. Just as she was about to leave, the deacon beside her said with a troubled expression, "Junior Brother Lu specifically asked me to only let Junior Sister Lin go. Although I don't know why Junior Brother Lu said this, I think it's better for the two of you to listen to him."
Xing Feng frowned slightly. He didn't know what Lu Xuan was playing at. Xia Ye was also a little confused. Could it be that he still wanted to be intimate with Xinyi at a time like this?
"Forget it, I will go alone. It shouldn't be a big deal. You guys just wait here," Lin Xinyi didn't want to drag it out any longer and took the initiative to say this.
"Alright then. Take good care of him. If he is really injured, then just admit defeat. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future," Xia Ye advised.
Lin Xinyi nodded and then left with the deacon.
Seeing Lin Xinyi's figure disappear, Xia Ye and Xing Feng felt a trace of shadow in their hearts. They didn't expect something to happen at this time. But it was good that he was fine.
After Lin Xinyi left, the crowd suddenly became noisy. Xia Ye and Xing Feng turned their heads and saw the three great elders of the Sword Sect, Elder Xu, Elder Lin, and Elder Cheng, descending from the sky at the same time.
Both sides in this battle were members of the Sword Sect. One of them was the current number one disciple of the Sword Sect, Lin Tian, and the other was Lu Xuan, who they had the highest hopes of leading the Sword Sect to rise to prominence. Both sides were valuable, and they didn't want to see either of them die.
In order to ensure that there wouldn't be any accidental casualties, the three great elders acted as the judges for this battle. They had to ensure the safety of both sides and not overdo it.
After the three great elders took their positions, the crowd became excited again. Lin Tian had appeared!
"Lin Tian, you can do it! I have faith in you! "
"Lin Tian will win. I'm betting everything on you!"
…
As soon as Lin Tian appeared, countless disciples started shouting. They might not really support Lin Tian, but they had bet all their contribution points on him. If Lin Tian won, everyone would be happy, but if he lost, it would be a great loss.
Xia Ye and Xing Feng turned their heads again and saw Lin Tian wearing a white robe. His hair was combed into a bun, and he walked towards the crowd with his hands behind his back. He had a graceful bearing and extraordinary bearing. Everywhere he went, the disciples would make way for him.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Lin Tian's aura had risen to its peak. It was just that it was all contained in his body and didn't leak out. When the battle began, it would definitely erupt!
"Eh, Tian's strength has improved again! I didn't expect that he would hide it from me. " Elder Lin, who was at the judge's seat, let out a soft cry of surprise. Lin Tian was Elder Lin's grandson.
"Haha, it seems that pressure is the only way to have motivation!" Elder Cheng roared with laughter. "I presume that Lin Tian has been thinking about the battle with Lu Xuan, and he hasn't slacked off recently."
Elder Lin couldn't help but reveal a trace of a smile when he heard that, "That should be the case. Unfortunately, Lu Xuan came slightly late. If he came slightly earlier, then during the last Sect Competition, with A Tian and Lu Xuan, our Sword Sect might have risen a long time ago."
"It's fine. It's fine as long as he came. During this year's Sect Competition, our Sword Sect will surely shock the fellows from the other sects!" Elder Cheng spoke proudly.
In the next Sect Competition, Lu Xuan had a chance to charge into the first position. Now that Lin Tian's strength had improved rapidly, it would absolutely not be a problem for him to maintain his position in the top 10, and he might even be able to improve further.
At this moment, Lin Tian had arrived at the center of the competition grounds. His followers had left a long time ago, and he was resting with his eyes closed. He was accumulating strength a step further while he waited for the arrival of the other main character, Lu Xuan.
However, when they saw that the battle was about to begin, Xia Ye and Xing Feng were truly anxious because they didn't know exactly what was going on since they still hadn't seen Lu Xuan.
Right when they were worried, they heard a wave of clamorous noise erupt from the crowd once more!
When they heard this clamorous noise, both of them hurriedly turned around, and a trace of happiness flashed on their faces. At this moment, only Lu Xuan was capable of causing the crowd to clamor!
