It was indeed Lu Xuan!
Lu Xuan's attire was not as eye-catching as Lin Tian's. He was dressed in an ordinary disciple's attire, and his hair was casually draped behind his head. His clothes were wrinkled and showed signs of battle.
Although his attire was not as dazzling as Lin Tian's, his aura was not inferior at all. His pace was neither fast nor slow, and there was not a trace of arrogance or nervousness on his face. It was as if he had come for an ordinary date.
Seeing so many disciples on the square, Lu Xuan could not help but be surprised. Although he knew that many people would pay attention to this battle, he did not expect so many people to come. It was likely that 80% or 90% of the inner sect disciples were here!
As Lu Xuan walked forward, the crowd of disciples also made way for him, and there were many who cheered him on.
"Lu Xuan, defeat Lin Tian and fight for us new students!"
"Lu Xuan, I bet 3000 contribution points on you. If you win, I'll give you half!"
…
As the cheers rang out, Lin Tian, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. His sharp gaze instantly locked onto Lu Xuan in the crowd.
"Damn, I finally made it, but he doesn't seem to be injured?" Xia Ye heaved a sigh of relief, but then she was a little confused.
"The deacon only said that Lu Xuan looked a little pale, but did not say that he was injured. He must have expended too much energy. However, why is Xinyi not here when Lu Xuan is here?" Xing Feng was also confused.
"Could it be that Lu Xuan asked her to do something else?" Xia Ye guessed.
"Maybe, I'll ask Lu Xuan later." Seeing that the battle 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 square and stood in front of Lin Tian, less than 50 steps away.
"Good lad! As expected of a rare genius, he has actually reached the sixth level of the Refinement Realm! He has only been in the sect for four months! " Elder Xu could not help but stand up at the referee's seat and exclaim excitedly when he saw Lu Xuan appear. His face was filled with excitement.
Elder Cheng and Elder Lin were also shocked. Slowly suppressing the shock in their hearts, Elder Cheng opened his mouth and said: "If I remember correctly, when Lu Xuan first entered the sect, he was only at the 4th layer of the Body Refinement Stage? In a short span of four months, he broke through two small realms in succession. This kind of cultivation speed could be rated as monstrous! The hope of my Sword Sect's rise will probably be tied to Lu Xuan. Brother Xu, you've found a peerless genius for my Sword Sect this time! "
Hearing Elder Cheng's praise, Elder Xu couldn't help but feel proud. He was the one who brought Lu Xuan back from Lin City. At this moment, Lu Xuan's performance was so strong that he was undoubtedly proud.
Even Elder Lin couldn't help but say: "Originally, when I saw Ah Tian's improvement, I thought that he would definitely win this battle. But now, it seems that may not be so. Lu Xuan seems to be stronger in terms of combat talent?"
Elder Cheng nodded: "The last time he entered the Sword Forest was three months ago. At that time, he relied on his strength at the 5th layer of the Body Refinement Stage to force his way into the top 100 and killed an existence at the 8th layer of the Body Refinement Stage. Now that his strength has increased by another level, his combat strength is quite terrifying!"
Then, as if realizing something, Elder Cheng glanced at Elder Lin beside him and said: "Of course, Lin Tian's chances of winning this battle may not be low. After all, his strength is still higher than Lu Xuan's by an entire level. Moreover, his foundation is quite solid. It is still too early to judge the outcome of this battle."
Unexpectedly, Elder Lin waved his hand and laughed: "You don't need to care about my opinion. In the past, Yan Jiu and I were friends through life and death. Speaking of which, Lu Xuan can also be considered my junior. Moreover, that brat Ah Tian is too arrogant. He always thinks that he is inferior to those before him because his cultivation time is too short. If he can lose to Lu Xuan this time, it will be a good thing for him. It will let him know that there is always someone better out there."
"Advanced 6th layer of the Body Refinement Stage … it seems that you really did not disappoint me." Looking at Lu Xuan in front of him, Lin Tian slowly said.
In truth, when he saw Lu Xuan's cultivation level, he could not help but be a little shocked. Advancing a small level in three months, this kind of speed was really too shocking.
Hearing this, Lu Xuan only smiled faintly and said: "I believe that you have not slacked off in these three months, right? If you are still only at the advanced 7th layer of the Body Refinement Stage, this battle will be difficult for you. "
Faced with Lu Xuan's somewhat disdainful words, Lin Tian did not get angry. He knew that the person in front of him could not be judged by strength. If others said that they wanted to challenge him with the strength of a 6th layer of the Body Refinement Stage, he would definitely scoff at it. However, Lu Xuan was enough to make him take it seriously.
"Right now, I am already at the peak of the 7th layer of the Body Refinement Stage. It is a pity that I have not been able to take the final step. Otherwise, you will definitely not be my opponent." Although he acknowledged Lu Xuan's words, Lin Tian was not willing to show weakness.
Lu Xuan faintly smiled. Eighth layer of the Body Refinement Stage, was he really not a match for him? In this period of time, other than the increase in strength, he had also become a one star Talisman Master. Even if he was at the 8th layer of the Body Refinement Stage, with his martial strength and talisman scrolls, he might still have the strength to fight and even have the chance to win!
As the two of them spoke, there was suddenly a small commotion in the crowd.
"Senior Mo Chen is here!"
"Senior Cheng Wang is here too!"
"And Senior Du Peng!"
… …
"I did not think that so many senior brothers would actually come. These are all the top disciples of each of the Sub Sects, existences in the overall top ten!"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Lin Tian is also in the overall top ten, his battle, these senior brothers will naturally come to watch, and at the same time understand Lin Tian's strength. Moreover, although that Lu Xuan is a new disciple, his momentum is too fierce, it is very likely that in the next Sect Competition, he will be a threat to them. "
"Eh, why don't I see senior brother Xu? I heard that previously, Lu Xuan pointed his sword at senior brother Xu, could it be that senior brother Xu does not pay attention to Lu Xuan? "
"Senior brother Xu has long reached the 8th layer of the Body Refinement Stage, with Lu Xuan's current strength, I'm afraid that he will not be a threat to him, maybe he is training somewhere?"
… …
The battle between Lu Xuan and Lin Tian, besides the Saber Master Xu Wenyang, had actually attracted the attention of the other eight people in the overall top ten, this was indeed a great deal of face.
"Lu Xuan, Lin Tian, although this battle was decided by the two of you, both of you are geniuses of my Sword Sect, there cannot be any mistakes. Therefore, Elder Xu, Elder Lin, and I will be your judges together. This battle is a spar, not a battle of life and death, stop when necessary, understand?" Elder Cheng stood up, his dignified voice resounding throughout the square.
"Disciple understands!"
Lu Xuan and Lin Tian bowed at the same time, speaking in unison.
It was indeed as Elder Cheng had said, this battle was only a spar to determine the victor, there was no enmity between the two parties.
If it was said that Lin Tian still had a trace of jealousy towards Lu Xuan in the beginning, then ever since Lu Xuan had forcefully attacked and pointed his sword at Xu Wenyang, this trace of jealousy had completely vanished. No matter what, the two of them were from the same sect, and Lin Tian was not someone who did not know his limits, especially when his grandfather was an elder of the Sword Sect, it was even more intolerable for him to have a personal battle.
The main reason why he had agreed to this battle, was because he wanted to defeat Lu Xuan once, and find a little comfort in his heart. Currently, Lu Xuan's rate of improvement was something that he had already seen with his own eyes, if a period of time were to pass, he might really not be Lu Xuan's match.
Upon seeing the friendly attitudes of the two, Elder Cheng nodded his head in satisfaction. He really did not wish to see a conflict arise between the two, after all, regardless of who it was, both of them were the hope of the Sword Sect's rise.
"Very good, since that is the case, let us begin. If anything unexpected happens, the other two elders and I will act at any time and stop the duel." After speaking, Elder Cheng retreated, once again giving the arena to Lu Xuan and Lin Tian.
After Elder Cheng had completely retreated, with a flash of sword light, a longsword appeared in Lin Tian's hand.
Raising the sword in his hand, Lin Tian's finger slid across the blade as he slowly opened his mouth and said: "This sword is called Blood Drinker, a high grade steel weapon. The sword is one meter long, and because it has drunk the blood of beasts during its refinement, its entire body is a dark red, hence the name of the sword. It is the sword that I used before reaching the 6th layer of the Body Tempering Stage, and the weapon I am currently using is a Treasure Tier longsword. However, I do not expect that your weapon will be too good, so I will not take advantage of your weapon."
Lin Tian was rather upright. He clearly had a Treasure Tier longsword, but he did not use it, instead choosing to use his previous high grade steel weapon to fight.
However, his words made Lu Xuan feel a wave of envy. A Treasure Tier weapon! He did not even have a single high grade steel weapon, only the Yearning Sword, which was a middle grade steel weapon. As for the mysterious iron sword, because it was not completely forged, it was probably not much different from the Yearning Sword. Although the material was excellent, it was only close to a high grade steel weapon.
After the introduction, Lin Tian once again opened his mouth: "Unsheathe your sword!"
Without any hesitation, Lu Xuan also took out his own weapon from his storage ring.
Weighing eighty-one kilograms, the sword was three feet long and an inch thick. Its entire body was pitch-black, and it faintly emitted a red glow. The mysterious iron sword was finally revealed in front of everyone!
Before this, whether it was when he was charging through the Sword Forest or when he was cultivating in the Five Element Cave, Lu Xuan had never revealed this sword in front of others. The only person who knew that he was cultivating a heavy sword was probably Lin Xinyi alone.
However, when the mysterious iron sword appeared, everyone was stunned. Whether it was Lin Tian who was opposite him, or the three elders on the judges' seats, or the many disciples surrounding them, all of them revealed puzzled expressions.
In this day and age, there was actually someone in the Sword Faction who cultivated a heavy sword? Furthermore, that heavy sword looked a little too strange. If it were not for the hilt that Lu Xuan held in his hand, it would have looked like a plank of a door.
So much so that if they did not know that Lu Xuan was a disciple of the Sword Faction, they would not have thought that it was a heavy sword, and would have thought that Lu Xuan was a disciple of the Occult Sect, using a strange weapon.
"Doesn't this Lu Xuan use a long sword? When did he change to a heavy sword? "Elder Lin could not help but ask in surprise.
