Immediately, the disciple calmed his mind and removed all distracting thoughts from his mind as he obediently executed the entire set of Lightning Light Sword Technique.
With every move, Lin Tian would give specific pointers. Although he was not very strong, it was more than enough to instruct these disciples.
Watching him patiently instruct this disciple, the three great elders smiled. Ever since his battle with Lu Xuan, perhaps due to Lu Xuan's influence, Lin Tian's temperament had become better and better.
If it was in the past, Lin Tian would have easily won with a single sword strike and then swaggered off.
At this moment, the disciples on the other two arenas had already finished their matches. When they saw the situation on the first arena, they were slightly shocked. Seeing that the disciple was currently receiving pointers from Lin Tian, they were filled with envy. This was a blessing in disguise.
After the eight moves of the Lightning Light Sword Technique, the disciple immediately sheathed his sword and bowed to Lin Tian. "Thank you senior brother Lin for your pointers. I admit defeat."
After he finished speaking, he obediently left the arena and admitted defeat. He had benefited greatly from Lin Tian's pointers.
In this way, Lin Tian easily won and advanced to the next round of the competition.
Soon after, Elder Cheng once again called for the disciples to enter the arena. One by one, the disciples ascended the arena in an orderly manner. There was a great disparity in strength between some disciples and the victor was easily decided, while others were evenly matched.
Xia Ye's opponent was a veteran disciple, but his strength was only at the Initial 6th Rank of the Body Refinement Realm. Naturally, he won easily.
Behind him, Lin Xinyi and Xing Feng also won and obtained a pass to the next round.
Among the inner sect disciples of the Sword Sect, their strength was basically between the 5th and 7th Rank of the Body Refinement Realm. The three of them were at the 6th Rank of the Body Refinement Realm, and Xing Feng was at the Advanced 6th Rank of the Body Refinement Realm. As long as they did not meet an extremely strong opponent, they would not lose.
After the first round, the second round quickly unfolded and a new round of drawing lots began …
This Division School Grand Competition began in the early morning. As the sun gradually rose, more and more people were eliminated, and the number of people left also decreased. By the time it reached the fourth round, all the remaining martial artists were at least at the 6th level of Body Refinement.
Lin Xinyi and the rest were rather lucky to be among the survivors. Of course, their strength was also a very important factor.
In the fifth round, there were forty disciples left. After the fifth round, the top twenty would be decided.
In this round, Xia Ye and Xing Feng bumped into each other. Both of them drew the same number.
"Why don't you admit defeat yourself? In any case, you can't beat me. "Xing Feng chuckled.
Xia Ye unhappily said: "Bullshit, don't think that just because your cultivation is higher than mine that you can beat me. Today, I will definitely beat you to the ground."
The two of them aggressively stepped onto the stage. After a fierce battle, Xia Ye finally bowed down, regretfully stopping at the top 40. Actually, with his strength, he should have been able to fight his way into the top 20. Although he was only at the middle stage of the 6th Rank of Body Refinement, he had often listened to Lu Xuan's lectures on the way of the sword. He had benefited a lot from it, and his battle strength was much stronger than other martial artists of the same level.
As for Lin Tian, he was still singing a song of victory. In every battle, he would give his opponent some pointers before he won. Lin Xinyi also did not meet any strong opponents. With the strength of the middle stage of the 6th Rank of Body Refinement, she barely defeated her opponent and entered the top 20.
The sixth round, the drawing of lots began.
This round would determine who would enter the top 10 and represent the Sword Sect in the Grand Competition of the Sects. This was not only a responsibility, it was also an honor!
Currently, among the top 20 disciples, besides Xing Feng and Lin Xinyi, there were no other new disciples. As for the rest of the old disciples, the weakest was at the peak of the 6th Rank of Body Refinement. Besides Lin Tian who was at the 8th Rank of Body Refinement, there were eight other old disciples at the 7th Rank of Body Refinement.
Of these nine people, entering the top 10 was basically a done deal. The rest of the people would fight for the last place.
This time, Lin Tian, Xing Feng, and Lin Xinyi did not meet each other. Their luck could be considered pretty good.
However, Lin Xinyi's strength was still not enough, and her battle experience was also insufficient. Without any suspense, she was defeated by the hands of a disciple at the early stage of the 7th Rank of Body Refinement.
Xing Feng, on the other hand, fought against a disciple at the peak of the 6th Rank of Body Refinement and finally won, successfully advancing into the top 10!
At the same time, he was the only new disciple to fight his way into the top 10. Before Lu Xuan arrived, Xing Feng was the new disciple that the three elders thought highly of. Now, it seemed that it was not just for show.
To be able to enter the top 10 in his first year and represent the Sword Sect, there was a high possibility that he would be able to enter the top 10 in the future.
Only, although the top 10 had been announced, not all of them were the strongest. This was because several disciples at the 7th Rank of Body Refinement had met each other. Next was the challenge round, where each person only had one chance to challenge.
Those martial artists at the 7th Rank of Body Refinement who were unexpectedly eliminated all chose the other disciples at the 6th Rank of Body Refinement. No one chose Xing Feng.
This was because they all knew Xing Feng. Compared to the others, Xing Feng's strength was undoubtedly the strongest. If other people were to represent the Wind Sword School, it would be better to let Xing Feng fight. This way, the results would be better.
The Grand Competition of the Sects not only looked at the first place, but also the results of the other disciples.
However, another disciple at the peak of the 6th Rank of Body Refinement challenged Xing Feng, but was still defeated by Xing Feng.
At this point, the top 10 of the Sword Sect had been announced. They were Lin Tian, Xing Feng, and the other eight disciples at the 7th Rank of Body Refinement.
"Okay, the top 10 has been decided. This year, you all have improved a lot, but do not be complacent. You must know that there is always someone better. The rewards for the disciples who entered the top 100 will be given out together after the Grand Competition. Now, all disciples, follow me to the Sword Forest!" Elder Cheng said aloud.
The Division Competition had ended. Next up was the most anticipated Grand Competition of the Sects. The nine major Sects would compete together!
Not only was it the annual Grand Competition of the Wind Sword School, but it also determined the position of the major Sects for the next year. The Sword Sect had been at the bottom for many years. This time, it was finally time to rise.
A trace of excitement flashed in the eyes of the three Elders. They had waited for this day for a long time. The only pity was that Lu Xuan still did not come back.
"There is still time. If Lu Xuan can come back before the Grand Competition, I will give my spot to him. This is what he deserves." Xing Feng said. If Lu Xuan was here, the last spot would naturally not go to him.
Elder Cheng patted Xing Feng's shoulder and said, "I hope so. If Lu Xuan really comes back, you will definitely get the rewards for the top 10."
The three elders, Xing Feng, and the others were not the only ones discussing the matter. Even the other disciples of the Sword Sect were talking about Lu Xuan.
"Senior Brother Lu did not show up for the Grand Competition. Is he not back yet?"
"Very likely. Alas, the heavens do not bless our Sword Sect. If Senior Brother Lu is here, first place in the Grand Competition will be as easy as pie."
"Yeah, yeah. If Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Lin were to attack together, then our Sword Sect would probably be able to occupy two of the top three positions in the Sect Competition. I've been in the Sword Sect for three years, yet I've never seen such a grand occasion!"
"Not to mention three years, I heard from the Elders that the Sword Sect has not obtained first place for almost 20 years. As the former main branch of the Wind Sword School, it has fallen to such a state. It really makes people feel helpless!"
"There is still time. The Grand Competition will start in the afternoon. Maybe Senior Brother Lu is on the way. Let's wait. Senior Brother Lu said that he will help our Sword Sect obtain first place."
…
Almost everyone in the Sword Sect, from the Elders to the disciples, were looking forward to Lu Xuan's return.
Half a year ago, Lu Xuan was able to kill Xu Wenyang. Now that another half a year had passed, they had no doubt that as long as Lu Xuan returned, he would definitely obtain first place.
However, until now, they had not seen Lu Xuan. It really made them feel uncertain.
Could Lu Xuan make it in time?
…
Ten days ago.
"Young Hero Lu, you don't even know the way back to the Sword Sect?" Peng Xu looked at the sweating Lu Xuan and asked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Lu Xuan was also very helpless. He held the map that Chen Xiaohan had given him and said, "Although the general location of the Wind Sword School is marked on it, I don't know how to get in."
"Then how did you get out?" Zhang Dongshuang blinked and asked.
"I came out from a Teleportation Portal. But it is a one-way Teleportation Portal. I can't go back through it." Lu Xuan rubbed his head. He was thinking of a way, but he did not expect that he would not be able to enter the Teleportation Portal.
"I heard that in order to prevent people from the secular world from finding them easily, these sects have protective formations or other means of protection. If you don't know the trick, you won't be able to enter." Peng Xu said.
"I have an idea!" Lu Xuan patted his head.
His so-called idea was to go to Ninth Uncle for help.
However, Ninth Uncle was still in Lin City of Tianwu Empire. It would take a lot of time to go there. Lu Xuan did not know if he could make it in time, but he had no other way now.
Immediately, the three turned their horses and began to head towards Lin City. Fortunately, there was a companion along the way, and there was a beauty like Zhang Dongshuang to serve him, so Lu Xuan did not feel bored.
However, he did not know the specific date of the Wind Sword School's competition. He also did not know that if he delayed it, he would very likely miss the important sect competition.
…
Under the leadership of the three elders, the disciples of the Sword Sect began to head towards the Sword Forest.
Only the disciples of the major sub-sects were qualified to go and watch the battles. As for the disciples of the Outer Sect, they did not have this privilege.
Although the following battles were not rare experts, but watching the battles between the disciples of the seventh and eighth tier of the Body Refinement Realm, for the disciples with lower strength, would also give them a lot of inspiration.
