Elder Cheng also frowned slightly and said, "The heavy sword is indeed powerful, but the path of the heavy sword is broad and profound. It is even more difficult to practice than the fast sword. If you don't practice it well, it will only be full of loopholes. You will only have the form, but not the spirit. It has been a long time since anyone in our Sword Sect has used the heavy sword. Could it be that Lu Xuan has given up on the fast sword and switched to the heavy sword because of his outstanding talent?"
Hearing this, Elder Xu did not agree with Elder Cheng's words. He had come into contact with Lu Xuan in Lin City and knew that although Lu Xuan had extraordinary talent, he was very humble. Arrogance would not appear in Lu Xuan, so he immediately excused him. "Lu Xuan has a good temperament and will not make a wrong decision. Since he has chosen to practice the heavy sword, he must have his reasons. Perhaps he wants to find a new breakthrough in the heavy sword. There is no rush to make a conclusion now. We will know after watching."
Elder Cheng and Elder Lin both nodded slightly, but they secretly made a decision in their hearts. After this battle, they would definitely find Lu Xuan and have a good talk. They could not let such a fine talent go astray and waste such a great talent.
"This sword is known as the Mystic Iron Sword. Its entire body is made of mystic iron, and it weighs eighty-one kilograms. As for its level, I'm not too sure either. Perhaps it's just barely comparable to a high-tier iron weapon." Lu Xuan put down the Mystic Iron Sword heavily and introduced it.
However, Lin Tian's eyebrows furrowed tightly and he said with a displeased expression, "Lu Xuan, are you looking down on me? Everyone knows that you're best at using a swift sword. Now, you've taken out a heavy sword to fight me, and it's even heavier than a normal heavy weapon. How will you be able to display your full strength? If that's the case, then there's no point in competing! "
Lu Xuan's fast sword could be said to be quite famous. During the entrance test, he had used less than ten percent of his Yuan Power to defeat the Saber Sect's genius Zheng Gang. Last time in the Sword Forest, he had used the sword in his hand to instantly take down Xu Wenyang. Although he had only revealed his strength twice, it was enough to make everyone take him seriously.
"Why did Lu Xuan suddenly take out a heavy sword? He shouldn't have hidden his strength in a duel of this level. Could it be that his heavy sword is more powerful than his swift sword?" The spectating disciples below the stage whispered to each other.
"You think too highly of Lu Xuan. Even if he is in the limelight, he is only at the sixth level of Body Refinement. Just now, I heard from Lin Tian that he has already reached the peak of the seventh level of Body Refinement. How could Lu Xuan be his opponent? In my opinion, Lu Xuan reckons that he is going to lose, so he might as well give up and use something that he is not proficient in against his opponent. This way, even if he loses, he will have an excuse."
"I think so too. Even if it is a heavy sword, he should use a better looking one. Look at his sword, it is simply a fire stick. There is no sword tip, no sword edge, how can he kill his opponent? That's right, he also said that it is heavy. It is eighty-one kilograms. Even the weapons used by the Axe and Hammer School disciples are not that heavy, right?"
With that said, the disciples felt that it was reasonable. Although the black iron sword looked quite big, it did not give them confidence.
Thinking of this, the disciples who bet on Lu Xuan to win, although they still supported Lu Xuan on the surface, began to secretly curse in their hearts. If Lu Xuan lost, then all their bets would be for naught.
"The heavy sword is also a type of sword. Its existence is reasonable. How do you know that the strength of the heavy sword is not as powerful as the fast sword?" Towards Lin Tian's questioning, Lu Xuan was not angry. He only smiled and explained.
"Hmph, twisting words and forcing logic. Since you are not willing to change your sword, then let me see your heavy sword. When the time comes, you will naturally take out your fast sword." Lin Tian did not want to argue with Lu Xuan. Since you are not willing to bring out your true strength, then I will beat you until you bring out your true strength!
"Come, you are the strongest opponent I have ever met. Let me see the strength of a martial artist at the peak of the seventh level of Body Refinement!" Lu Xuan's expression also became serious. He began to slowly mobilize his Spirit Power and entered a state of battle.
Lin Tian, who stood before him, was indeed the strongest opponent Lu Xuan had ever faced head-on since he was born. The warriors in the Sword Forest were all illusions, and their strength could not be compared to that of a real warrior. Although Long Zhan had also died by Lu Xuan's hands, it was through trickery, and he had not fought head-on. Moreover, although Long Zhan was also at the peak of the seventh tier of body refinement, in terms of combat strength, he might not be stronger than Lin Tian.
The two people's auras continued to rise, especially Lin Tian. The aura that was previously contained within his body was now released without reservation, appearing extremely violent. However, Lu Xuan was not inferior.
His whole body did not move an inch. The tip of the black iron sword was firmly pressed against the ground. Facing Lin Tian's aura, he was like a rock in a stormy sea. No matter how strong you are, I am as steady as Mount Tai. A few strands of hair fluttered by his ear, adding a bit of elegance to Lu Xuan's appearance.
The battle, was about to begin!
The disciples below the stage were already silent. Their eyes stared unblinkingly at the two people on the stage. Even the eight people in the top ten, including Mo Qiuchen, had a serious expression on their faces. They were waiting for the thunderous strike after the clash of auras!
Seeing that Lu Xuan did not react in the slightest when facing the aura that he had been accumulating for a long time, Lin Tian was secretly a bit surprised. He was actually unable to shake Lu Xuan in the slightest even though he was an entire small realm higher. It could be seen that Lu Xuan's foundation was incomparably solid.
However, Lin Tian was determined to suppress Lu Xuan with his aura, so he was not in a hurry to make a move. The spirit force in his body began to circulate wildly. The robes on his body began to flutter even though there was no wind. The aura that he released suddenly increased, becoming even more majestic!
Seeing that Lin Tian actually wanted to compete with him in aura, Lu Xuan's arrogance was immediately aroused. Since you want to compete in aura, then let's compete!
Originally, Lu Xuan had only used the force dissipation technique that he had comprehended in the gale formation to dissipate Lin Tian's aura. He had not directly collided with his aura. Now, however, he suddenly stopped dissipating and began to face Lin Tian's aura head-on!
The mysterious iron sword in Lu Xuan's hand spun slightly, and a fierce gaze suddenly shot out from his eyes. The Taiyi Origin Art's circulation instantly sped up, and an incomparably ferocious aura was released without restraint!
He had just returned from the back mountains, and had killed no less than ten ferocious beasts along the way. The killing intent and ferociousness in his heart had not yet disappeared, and now naturally merged into his aura.
Lu Xuan's sudden eruption immediately caught Lin Tian unprepared. He only felt that the originally stubborn reef-like Lu Xuan had transformed into an ancient ferocious beast in the blink of an eye. The powerful aura contained a frightening ferocity that instantly forced Lin Tian's aura back, causing him to involuntarily feel a wave of fear and subconsciously take a step back.
However, he quickly reacted, and forcibly stopped his retreat. Hardening his heart, an extremely sharp aura stealthily merged into his aura!
With the support of this aura, the originally unstoppable Lin Tian actually managed to regain his footing. Lu Xuan's ferocious and unstoppable aura was directly torn apart by him, and he once again regained the initiative!
As he felt Lin Tian's aura suddenly change, a strange glint flashed across Lu Xuan's eyes. This aura was actually so familiar!
"In the past three months, my greatest improvement was not stepping into the peak of the 7th layer of the Body Refinement Realm, but successfully comprehending sword intent. Now that my sword intent has already reached the basic level, Lu Xuan, are you sure you still won't take out your swift sword?!" Lin Tian's voice slowly sounded out.
Originally, he had not planned on taking out his sword intent so quickly. This was one of his trump cards. However, Lu Xuan's aura was even more powerful than he had expected. As prideful as he was, he was naturally unwilling to admit defeat. Therefore, even if he had to expose his trump card, he still wanted to suppress Lu Xuan in terms of aura.
Although Lin Tian's sword intent was only at the basic level, it had still touched the threshold of sword intent. With the support of this sword intent, his aura instantly became sharp. Lu Xuan's ferocious and vigorous aura was no longer able to obstruct him. The all-conquering sword intent instantly tore apart Lu Xuan's aura and directly pressed towards Lu Xuan.
"Good kid! Sword intent! It's actually sword intent! Hahaha, my Lin family has finally found a successor! " Sensing the sword intent that Lin Tian emitted, Elder Lin instantly stood up in excitement. Whether a sword cultivator had comprehended sword intent or not made a huge difference.
Why was Lu Xuan able to kill so many opponents in the Sword Forest? Besides the strength of the Taiyi Fusion Technique and martial techniques, sword intent was also an extremely important factor. It was a superb technique for fighting those at a higher cultivation level!
"Not bad, not bad. As expected, the wheel of fortune turns. Now, it's finally time for my Sword Sect to rise. If Lin Tian works hard, in the next Sect Competition, he might have the strength to fight for the top three." Elder Cheng said with a smile.
Sensing the change in Lin Tian, the gazes of the disciples in the top ten became even more solemn. Originally, they had come for Lu Xuan. After all, with Lu Xuan's talent, it was extremely likely that he would be a threat to their positions. Unexpectedly, they had discovered that Lin Tian's strength had improved so greatly!
"Senior Brother Mo, in your opinion, between Lu Xuan and Lin Tian, who will win?" A rather boorish looking disciple asked Mo Melancholy. He was the number one disciple of the Axe and Hammer Sect, Cheng Wang. At the same time, he was also ranked fifth in the overall ranking. The Axe and Hammer Sect had always been at odds with the Saber Sect, so they had a good relationship with the Sword Sect and the Spear Sect.
"Lu Xuan." Mo Melancholy very succinctly spat out two words.
Cheng Wang was stunned when he heard this. At the beginning, he was also somewhat optimistic about Lu Xuan, but now that he saw that Lin Tian had not only reached the peak of the seventh-layer of the Body Refinement Realm, but had also reached the entry level of sword intent, his evaluation of Lin Tian immediately increased. He did not expect that Mo Melancholy would still be optimistic about Lu Xuan. Moreover, his answer was quite straightforward and without a trace of hesitation. It was unknown where his confidence in Lu Xuan came from.
