"Good!" Right at this moment, a resounding cheer rang out. It was Shi Hao who couldn't help but clap his hands and cheer after witnessing such a splendid battle.
His applause broke the silence. In that instant, everyone's eyes couldn't help but look towards Shi Hao. When he realized that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Shi Hao was so frightened that he immediately stopped clapping. He closed his mouth and didn't say anything. He also forgot where he was and found it hard to control his emotions.
In reality, many people felt that the battle between Lu Xuan and Tang Yi was extremely splendid, especially the last exchange. Regardless of whether it was Lu Xuan or Tang Yi, they both displayed extremely powerful strength. However, they didn't dare to cheer at all. Tang Yi's defeat represented Nangong Shuo's defeat. Who would dare to cheer at such a moment? Only Shi Hao heartlessly shouted.
On the other hand, Su Chuanan gave Shi Hao a rather praising look. He felt that this youngster was truly perceptive and courageous. However, he didn't know that Shi Hao's mistake was unintentional.
"Lu Xuan and Tang Yi have displayed a splendid display of martial arts for everyone. All disciples should learn from them. If all of you have this kind of strength, then our Mysterious Ice Pavilion won't flourish." Su Chuanan took the initiative to speak. Normally, such words would be spoken by Nangong Shuo, but this time, it was Su Chuanan who spoke first. It was enough to show how happy he was that Lu Xuan had defeated Tang Yi.
Tang Yi gave Lu Xuan a deep look and retreated without saying a word. With his current status, it wasn't appropriate for him to say too much.
Walking back behind Nangong Shuo, Tang Yi said to Leng Qingqiu in a low voice: "Senior Leng, I've already done my best."
Leng Qingqiu was a bit displeased and snorted lightly, but he didn't say much. Although he was very unhappy with Tang Yi's defeat, he had to admit that Tang Yi's performance was indeed remarkable, especially the final confrontation with Lu Xuan. Even with Leng Qingqiu's insight, he had to admit that it was very splendid. It could only be said that Lu Xuan was a bit more skilled, and not that Tang Yi had made a mistake.
Although the battle between Lu Xuan and Tang Yi had ended, all the disciples and elders were still stuck in the scene of the battle just now. They felt that it was necessary to once again get to know Lu Xuan. Although they had already gotten to know Lu Xuan many times, but every time Lu Xuan's performance, it would refresh their view of Lu Xuan.
Many disciples put themselves in Lu Xuan's situation, thinking about how they would deal with Tang Yi's last move, the Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers, but no matter how they deduced, they felt that other than being defeated, there was no other possibility. Although they didn't know what kind of martial skill Lu Xuan's last move was, it was truly incomparably powerful. Facing the attack of countless daggers, he was actually able to skillfully dodge every attack, and was even able to return all the attacks to Tang Yi. If they didn't see it with their own eyes, no one would dare to believe it.
Many elders were also thinking about Lu Xuan's last martial skill. They believed that if they were in the same situation as Lu Xuan, other than using their powerful strength to forcefully break Tang Yi's attack, there was no other way to escape. In other words, even if they were in the eighth layer of the Spirit Refinement realm, they still wouldn't be able to escape Tang Yi's strangulation, not to mention that Lu Xuan was only in the fifth layer of the Spirit Refinement realm.
The Soaring Phoenix Ninth Heaven Sword Technique was incomparably powerful, especially the last move, the Soaring Phoenix Ninth Heaven Sword Technique, it was extremely profound. With the experience of the elders, they could naturally see that it was extraordinary. For a moment, the elders couldn't help but look at Zhao Ying. In their opinion, such a powerful sword technique like Lu Xuan must have been taught by Zhao Ying. They didn't think that Zhao Ying would have such a powerful martial skill in her hands, but never used it.
Nangong Shuo didn't say anything. He didn't blame Tang Yi, nor did he comfort him. He only stared at Lu Xuan with his slightly aged eyes. This young man was like a fuse, disturbing the peace of the entire Profound Ice Pavilion's upper echelons. This made Nangong Shuo extremely unhappy, especially because of Lu Xuan's existence, it caused Su Chuanan to become restless, provoking his dignity time and time again.
Lu Xuan also noticed Nangong Shuo's gaze. He didn't care if Nangong Shuo liked him or not, but he knew that he didn't like Nangong Shuo.
He still remembered the scene when Nangong Shuo came to take Zhao Bing`er away in the cave in the Hengduan Mountain Range. At that time, facing an existence like Nangong Shuo, he didn't have the slightest ability to resist, and didn't even dare to show his face. In the end, in order to protect him, he was knocked unconscious by Zhao Bing`er, and Zhao Bing`er left with tears in her eyes.
It was precisely because of this matter that Lu Xuan was filled with disgust towards the Profound Ice Pavilion, and that was how the Shattered Ice Sword got its name. However, gradually, Lu Xuan also knew that there were many good people in the Profound Ice Pavilion, and he himself had also become a member of the Profound Ice Pavilion. However, the disgust towards the Profound Ice Pavilion was transferred by Lu Xuan to Nangong Shuo.
In reality, Lu Xuan's disgust towards Nangong Shuo and Leng Qingqiu from the very beginning. He originally thought that Nangong Shuo had brought Zhao Bing`er back to imprison her, which was why he wanted to use the sword in his hand to shatter the Profound Ice Pavilion and save the beauty.
From the looks of it now, the one he wanted to shatter was not the Profound Ice Pavilion, but Nangong Shuo and Leng Qingqiu.
Fortunately, the current him was no longer the same as before. Although he was not Leng Qingqiu's opponent in terms of strength, much less Nangong Shuo's opponent, he was Zhao Ying's disciple, a new direct disciple with the most potential. As long as he was given time, there would be a day when Leng Qingqiu and Nangong Shuo would be flattened by him.
At the very least, he could openly stand in the main hall of the Profound Ice Divine Hall and stare directly at Nangong Shuo without holding back. Eight consecutive victories had given Lu Xuan great confidence. What he wanted was to challenge Nangong Shuo's dignity!
"Is there any other senior brother who is willing to spar with me?" Lu Xuan's clear voice interrupted everyone's thoughts. He still wanted to challenge! Every time he challenged, it was a provocation to Nangong Shuo's dignity. Perhaps he would lose and be injured, but he didn't care at all.
Looking at the confident Lu Xuan in the center of the hall, everyone suddenly had a feeling that Lu Xuan had forced Nangong Shuo into a corner, forcing Nangong Shuo to deal with Lu Xuan again and again. Victory was a matter of course, defeat was a great loss of face!
Although Lu Xuan was challenging the other direct disciples, his gaze was fixed on Nangong Shuo. He was making things difficult for Nangong Shuo, and he did not conceal it at all!
Other than Zhao Bing`er, no one knew that there was such a grudge between Lu Xuan and Nangong Shuo. Even Nangong Shuo himself did not know why Lu Xuan had to provoke him time and time again. They could only attribute all of this to Su Chuanan and Zhao Ying. Zhao Ying did not like Nangong Shuo, so she naturally would not explain, and Su Chuanan was also happy to see Lu Xuan provoke Nangong Shuo like this. He was willing to take the blame, and between him and Lu Xuan, it was a mutually beneficial relationship. Su Chuanan used Lu Xuan to attack Nangong Shuo, and Lu Xuan used Su Chuanan to intimidate Nangong Shuo.
Seeing Lu Xuan provoke Nangong Shuo time and time again, Zhao Bing`er's eyes could not help but become a little moist. Only she understood Lu Xuan's feelings, and knew the pressure Lu Xuan carried. In order to find her, in order to be with her, Lu Xuan climbed up step by step. In less than two years, Lu Xuan had gone from the 8th level of Body Refinement to the 5th level of Spirit Refinement. With his not so broad shoulders, he directly faced the pressure brought by Nangong Shuo and Leng Qingqiu.
Thinking of this, Zhao Bing`er suddenly felt that Lu Xuan having a few more beauties was nothing. To be able to have a man who was willing to bear such pressure for her to love her, what else was there to ask for?
After a moment of silence, Nangong Shuo finally chuckled and said, "Young people are indeed full of vigor. However, being too rigid is easy to break. Be careful not to suffer."
Lu Xuan lightly said, "Many thanks for Elder Nangong's concern, but the road of martial arts is difficult. If you don't work hard to climb up, how can you see the scenery at a higher place? If you only stare at a small place in front of you, what future can you have?"
Nangong Shuo was secretly annoyed in his heart. Was this brat teaching him to only stare at the position of Profound Ice Pavilion's Pavilion Master?
Everyone understood the verbal confrontation between Lu Xuan and Nangong Shuo. Nangong Shuo was warning Lu Xuan, and Lu Xuan actually dared to take advantage of the situation to teach Nangong Shuo a lesson. They could not help but admire Lu Xuan's courage, but when they thought of the two people standing behind Lu Xuan, Zhao Ying and Su Chuanan, they also felt somewhat relieved. Lu Xuan was fearless.
"Martial Nephew Lu said it well. A martial artist must have this kind of tenacity that refuses to admit defeat." Nangong Shuo leaned back in his chair and said, "Since Lu Xuan wants to continue challenging, then the rest of you Direct Disciples should not be timid. Who wants to go up and exchange pointers with Lu Xuan?"
This time, Nangong Shuo did not directly call out names. However, the majority of the disciples looked down, as if they did not hear Nangong Shuo's words. What a joke, the strength that Lu Xuan had displayed was already above the majority of the people. If anyone dared to go up and compete with Lu Xuan, they would only be looking for trouble.
For example, if Li Yuncong had seen the battle between Lu Xuan and Tang Yi, then no matter what, he would not go up and humiliate himself. Of course, Wei Zhengyang would absolutely not let his disciples go up and embarrass themselves. Those who had the strength to contend with Lu Xuan were most likely only the elite disciples under Nangong Shuo.
The disciples under Nangong Shuo naturally heard Nangong Shuo's words. They also knew that Nangong Shuo was actually speaking to them. If Nangong Shuo had to call out names every time, Nangong Shuo would not have lost face. Thus, he allowed these disciples to choose for themselves.
However, in a short period of time, no one made a sound. They were all carefully considering Lu Xuan's strength. They were very clear about Xie Bin and Tang Yi's strength. Moreover, Lu Xuan had also displayed many trump cards just now. None of the disciples at the eighth level of the Spirit Refinement realm dared to go up, as they would undoubtedly lose. The only ones who had a chance to defeat Lu Xuan were the disciples at the ninth level of the Spirit Refinement realm under Nangong Shuo.
These disciples at the ninth level of the Spirit Refinement realm were also somewhat hesitant. A dignified martial artist at the ninth level of the Spirit Refinement realm going up against a disciple of a Spirit Refinement realm martial artist was truly akin to the strong bullying the weak. More importantly, if they won, then it would be fine. However, if they lost, then their status in Nangong Shuo's eyes would plummet, and they would also lose a great deal of face. No one was willing to take this risk.
Earlier, when Lu Xuan had fought his way up, it had given them quite a bit of psychological pressure. This was because Lu Xuan had displayed his strength step by step. No one could be sure whether what Lu Xuan had displayed was his strongest strength or not.
A dignified existence at the ninth level of the Spirit Refinement realm was actually afraid of a disciple at the fifth level of the Spirit Refinement realm. It was hard to believe, but it was the truth.
