Seeing that Lu Xuan finally stopped challenging, all the disciples heaved a sigh of relief. Because of Lu Xuan, the disciples heaved a sigh of relief. However, they also felt a little regretful. After all, Lu Xuan had fought his way up, and every battle he fought gave them a refreshing feeling. It could be said that he had repeatedly created miracles. Even Leng Qingqiu was defeated by Lu Xuan. Was there anything else he couldn't do?
Winning ten matches in a row was unprecedented in the history of the personal disciples battle. Usually, a disciple could only win eight matches in a row at most before being eliminated. It could be said that the personal disciples battle this time was more exciting than any in the history of the Mystic Ice Pavilion. In the end, the champion was actually a newly promoted personal disciple. If they didn't see it with their own eyes, no one would dare to believe it.
After keeping the Mystic Ice Phoenix Blood Sword, Lu Xuan walked down to the center of the hall. Zhao Ying smiled and nodded at Lu Xuan, saying, "Although he was a little reckless, his performance was not bad."
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "It's good that he didn't embarrass Master."
Zhao Bing`er's pretty face revealed a hint of happiness as she said, "Not only did he not embarrass Master, but he also gained face."
"Did I gain face for you too?" Lu Xuan said with a smile.
Zhao Bing`er glared at Lu Xuan and rewarded him with a punch.
At this moment, Su Chuanan spoke again. He looked at Nangong Shuo and said, "This time, Lu Xuan's performance was not bad. Elder Nangong, I think the best disciple for this personal disciples battle is none other than Lu Xuan, right?" Nangong Shuo calmly acknowledged and didn't say anything else.
Now that things had come to this, if he said too much, it would seem that he didn't have a clear view of things. He would let Lu Xuan and Su Chuanan be arrogant for a while. Such a small matter wouldn't be able to shake his position. As long as he helped Leng Qingqiu to the position of Pavilion Master, he would have the final say in the entire Mystic Ice Pavilion.
Nangong Shuo didn't respond, which made Su Chuanan feel that he had power but nowhere to exert it. However, being able to make Nangong Shuo suffer a setback was also a moderate success. Su Chuanan didn't think that he could use this opportunity to defeat Nangong Shuo's forces in one fell swoop. Nangong Shuo's strength was the result of decades of hard work. It wasn't something that could be affected by a small setback.
With the end of the battle between Lu Xuan and Leng Qingqiu, this personal disciples battle was nearing its end. The remaining disciples who hadn't gone on stage also went on stage to practice their martial arts. In the end, only two people didn't have any performance. One was Yang Weili. His usual opponent was Wan Jianfei, but now that Wan Jianfei had been defeated by Lu Xuan, Yang Weili had no intention of competing with the other disciples. The other was Zhao Bing`er. Zhao Bing`er rarely fought, so it was reasonable that she didn't go on stage this time.
Not long after, the personal disciples battle that had gone through many exciting battles finally ended peacefully. In fact, not many people had their minds on the personal disciples battle at the last moment. Most of the disciples' minds were still on the battle between Lu Xuan and Leng Qingqiu. There was no need to doubt Leng Qingqiu's strength, but the strength displayed by Lu Xuan had greatly surprised them.
All kinds of marvelous swordsmanship, the powerful Phoenix Soaring the Ninth Heaven Swordsmanship, the mysterious dilapidated ancient sword, and even the last sword move that could be said to be perfect — all of these made them relish in talking about it. There was no doubt that in less than a day, Lu Xuan's performance in this personal disciples battle would definitely spread throughout the entire Mystic Ice Pavilion, and the name Lu Xuan would once again be known by many disciples.
But this time, they knew that Lu Xuan's performance was no longer because Lu Xuan had obtained Zhao Binger's heart, nor was it because Lu Xuan dared to challenge Leng Qingqiu. It was because of his strength. A person who won first place in the personal disciples battle would definitely be the target of attention no matter where he went. Strength was the source of all respect.
When the last two disciples finished their martial arts practice, Nangong Shuo slowly stood up and said a set of encouraging words. In the past, Nangong Shuo would inevitably want to show off the strength of his lineage, but this time, he didn't have any intention of doing so, nor did he have enough confidence. After casually saying a few words, he turned his head and said to an elder below the stage, "Elder Gu, the best disciple in this personal disciples battle is Lu Xuan. Bring him to the various places to choose the rewards. I also hope that the disciples will continue to work hard and have a brilliant performance in the next personal disciples battle. As long as you can show enough potential, the sect will definitely focus on nurturing you. Everyone, please disperse."
"Farewell, Great Elder." All the elders and disciples stood up and bowed to Nangong Shuo. Nangong Shuo nodded slightly and left with the group of disciples behind him. He didn't even look at Lu Xuan, Su Chuanan, and the others.
Su Chuanan couldn't help but be amused. "This old fellow is actually angry. How rare."
At their level, even if they were angry, they might not show it. Nangong Shuo's actions clearly showed that he was really angry.
Then, Su Chuanan looked at Zhao Ying and said, "Elder Zhao, I'll make a move first. If there's nothing else, Elder Zhao is welcome to be a guest at my residence."
Zhao Ying nodded lightly, neither refusing nor agreeing. She had always been this indifferent. Su Chuanan naturally knew that and didn't say much. He looked at Lu Xuan and said with a smile, "Nephew Lu, you hid your strength really well. You and Willy are both young, so you should get closer in the future."
Lu Xuan bowed slightly and said, "I will. I'm also very interested in the martial technique that Elder Su gave me. If there's a chance, I'd like to go and ask for guidance."
Su Chuanan said cheerfully, "My residence's doors are always open for you."
After Su Chuanan left, Elder Gu walked up and smiled at Lu Xuan. "Nephew Lu, I didn't expect your strength to improve so much in just two months. Congratulations. If there's nothing else, I'll take you to receive your reward now."
Lu Xuan was no stranger to Elder Gu, as he had been in charge of the matters regarding the Xuanbing Secret Realm back then. While Elder Gu's powers were nothing compared to those of the other elders, he was the trusted aide of the current sectmaster. He was neither a subordinate of Nangong Shuo nor a member of Su Chuanan's faction. He was in charge of the logistics of the Xuanbing Pavilion and wielded extraordinary power.
"Then I'll have to trouble Elder Gu." Lu Xuan cupped his hands at Elder Gu, then said to Zhao Ying, "Master, I'll go with Elder Gu first."
Zhao Ying nodded lightly. "Go ahead. Your weapon was destroyed in the battle just now. You can choose a suitable weapon."
"I'll go with you as well." Zhao Binger took the initiative to say. Her standards were definitely higher than Lu Xuan's, so it would naturally be better if she was there. Lu Xuan readily agreed.
Everyone began to leave the main hall in twos and threes. The intense personal disciple battle that everyone had been watching had officially come to an end. Shi Hao, on the other hand, deliberately stayed behind to greet Lu Xuan. He admired Lu Xuan from the bottom of his heart and made an appointment with Lu Xuan to treat him to a drink in the future.
Lu Xuan also had a good impression of Shi Hao. When no one was optimistic about him, only Shi Hao jumped out to support him. However, this also proved that Shi Hao's eyesight was not bad.
Lu Xuan and Zhao Binger followed Elder Gu to the Divine Ice Palace. As Elder Gu walked, he said to Lu Xuan, "The best disciple of every personal disciple battle will receive twenty top-grade primordial stones, an earth-ranked treasure, and a batch of medicinal pills as a reward. Nephew Lu, do you want to choose medicinal pills or weapons first?"
"Elder Gu, just call me Lu Xuan. Let's go take a look at the weapons first. I haven't seen an earth-ranked treasure before. This time, I'll be able to broaden my horizons."
Elder Gu smiled and nodded. However, in his heart, he was thinking that the longsword on your back was not inferior to any earth-ranked treasure. The sword that Leng Qingqiu used was an earth-ranked treasure, but it was destroyed by Lu Xuan's hands. In addition to the extraordinary power of Lu Xuan's martial skill, the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword also played a big role in it.
Under Elder Gu's lead, the group of three went directly to the Divine Armament Tower. The Divine Armament Tower was the place where the Mysterious Ice Pavilion stored their weapons. Although Lu Xuan knew that the Mysterious Ice Pavilion had such a place, he had never been there. It should be known that the Divine Armament Tower did not contain ordinary weapons. All of them were earth-ranked treasures or above. Even high-grade human-ranked treasures could not enter this place.
Earth-ranked treasures, even in the Mysterious Ice Pavilion, were quite precious. Not to mention ordinary disciples, even direct disciples might not have one. If they wanted to obtain an earth-ranked treasure, they could only rely on rewards from their master, make great contributions, or use extremely rare treasures to exchange for an earth-ranked treasure. For most direct disciples, they could only use high-grade human-ranked treasures.
"Most of the weapons in the Divine Armament Tower are low-grade earth-ranked, but there are also a few mid-grade earth-ranked ones. As for high-grade earth-ranked treasures, the entire Mysterious Ice Pavilion only has one. It is called the Profound Ice Sword, and it is the sect's treasure. It is said that it was passed down by the first sect master. Unless the sect is in danger, it is usually not used." Zhao Bing-er explained to Lu Xuan.
"When choosing a weapon in the Divine Armament Tower, you can't touch it. You have to rely on your own intuition to judge. If you are lucky, you may be able to pick an exquisite low-grade earth-ranked treasure, or even a mid-grade earth-ranked treasure. If you are unlucky, then you can only pick an ordinary low-grade earth-ranked treasure."
"When the time comes, I will help you keep an eye out. The divine sense of an Origin Realm cultivator is more mysterious than that of a Spirit Refinement Realm cultivator. Even if there is a barrier, I can still sense a trace of the aura. Maybe I can help you."
This was the reason why Zhao Bing-er came with Lu Xuan. Even if she couldn't help Lu Xuan pick a mid-grade earth-ranked treasure, at least she wouldn't let Lu Xuan pick a defective low-grade earth-ranked treasure.
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "It's fine. As long as there is an earth-ranked treasure for me, it is still better than a high-grade earth-ranked treasure."
Zhao Bing-er glared at Lu Xuan, but she was helpless. Lu Xuan now had the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword. Ordinary weapons were nothing to him, and he would only use it to fight normally. When he encountered a truly powerful enemy, he would definitely use the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword to fight.
The Divine Armament Tower wasn't far from the Divine Ice Pavilion. Many of the important buildings were built around the Divine Ice Pavilion, so it didn't take long for the three of them to arrive at the Divine Armament Tower.
The Divine Armament Tower's name was domineering, but its appearance was not eye-catching. It only had one floor. Even the Martial Skill Pavilion was much taller than the Divine Armament Tower. In front of the Divine Armament Tower, there was a huge stone sword. On the sword's blade, there were three large words carved: Divine Armament Tower!
