Lu Xuan did not look as if he was about to face a formidable enemy. Instead, he simply stood there with his sword in hand, the tip of the sword slightly drooping. It looked casual, but it was completely natural and flawless.
He had not even made a move. Just this posture alone had instantly attracted the attention of all the elders present.
The disciples present were weak and their knowledge was not enough. They could not see through the profoundness of Lu Xuan's move. However, the elders were different. Even the weakest among them had already reached the Spirit Refinement stage. Lu Xuan's seemingly simple posture was actually not simple at all!
Elder Cheng's eyes were wide open, and his eyes were filled with shock. He seemed to be slightly surprised and bewildered, and he seemed to be in slight disbelief.
"This, this is … the Way of the Heart Sword? There is a heart in the sword, there is a sword in the heart. Could it be that Lu Xuan has really comprehended sword intent?! "He could not help but exclaim.
He was unaware of everything that had happened in the Sword Forest. Although Lu Xuan had not made any moves for a long time after entering the Sword Forest, Elder Cheng guessed that he was comprehending sword intent. However, comprehending sword intent and comprehending sword intent were two completely different things.
Elder Cheng was not the only one who was shocked. Even the deputy sect leader, Elder Jin, could not remain calm at this moment. He stared straight at Lu Xuan and muttered, "Sword intent? Could it really be sword intent? Isn't this kid's talent a little too astonishing? He's only sixteen! He's only at the fifth-tier of the Body Refinement Stage! "
As if remembering something, Elder Jin could not help but smack his own head, "I should have thought of this earlier. No wonder he was able to kill eight martial artists at the seventh-tier of the Body Refinement Stage in the Sword Forest and enter the top three hundred with his strength at the fifth-tier of the Body Refinement Stage. It turns out that he has comprehended sword intent."
All the doubts in Elder Jin's heart were solved by Lu Xuan's posture. There was a feeling of realization. However, this undoubtedly made him think even more highly of Lu Xuan. To be able to comprehend sword intent at the fifth-tier of the Body Refinement Stage, this kind of talent was not even enough to be described as monstrous.
For a moment, Elder Jin was as excited as a child. What was the most important thing to a sect? He was a genius! Geniuses were the core competitiveness of a sect. If a sect couldn't produce enough dazzling geniuses for a long time, then the decline of the sect was only a matter of time.
Why did Wind Sword School set up three ranks for disciples: outer sect, inner sect, and core sect? It was to select geniuses step by step.
"Right, Lu Xuan stayed in the Sword Forest for quite a while before he started the test. Obviously, he was comprehending Sword Intent. Could it be that he comprehended Sword Intent in such a short period of time? This level of talent, even among the core disciples, there is no one who possesses it! "Elder Jin muttered to himself again.
Almost all the elders present could see that Lu Xuan had most likely comprehended Sword Intent. As soon as Lu Xuan made his move, they would be able to confirm it in an instant.
Zheng Gang's father, Elder Zheng, was already ashen. He didn't expect Lu Xuan to have such a powerful trump card. Although Zheng Gang was one rank higher than Lu Xuan, for a martial artist who comprehended Sword Intent, it was normal for him to fight someone of a higher rank. Unless Zheng Gang could comprehend Saber Intent, he would only have a fighting chance.
Defeated, defeated. Elder Zheng had already decided on Zheng Gang's ending in his heart. He was about to send a telepathic message to Zheng Gang to cancel the duel so that he wouldn't embarrass the Saber Sect. However, at this moment, he felt a sharp gaze directed at him.
Elder Zheng could not help but shiver when he felt this gaze. He raised his head and saw that the sharp gaze belonged to Elder Jin. The warning in his gaze was self-evident.
The Saber Sect was the one who said they were unconvinced, and the Saber Sect was also the one who suggested the duel. Now, the Saber Sect was the one who wanted to cancel the duel. Wasn't this looking down on him, the Deputy Sect Leader? Even a clay figurine would have a temper.
After receiving Elder Jin's warning, Elder Zheng didn't dare to make a move. He could only watch Zheng Gang embarrass himself again in front of everyone.
Although many elders could see that Lu Xuan had comprehended Sword Intent, Zheng Gang didn't have the ability to see it. However, he could sense that Lu Xuan's posture was slightly unusual.
He couldn't see any flaws at all. He didn't know where to start and couldn't help but hesitate. However, at this moment, Lu Xuan's calm voice was heard.
"Make your move. You only have one chance to make your move."
When Lu Xuan said this, the anger in Zheng Gang's heart immediately rose. Your cultivation level is clearly lower than mine. Do you really want to defeat me with one move? I'll see how much you're worth!
With this trace of anger, Zheng Gang's aura increased greatly. The trace of hesitation had disappeared long ago.
Since you don't have any flaws, then I'll make one for you. Even if your martial skills are impressive, I'll use my cultivation level to suppress you!
Zheng Gang roared and instantly swung the single saber in his hand. The Origin Power in his body burst forth without holding back, creating a strong wind that caused their clothes to flutter.
This time, he also chose to stake everything on one throw. He wanted to use his powerful strength to directly crush Lu Xuan!
Zheng Gang let out a roar and his entire body was like a fully drawn bow. His body suddenly exploded and his saber, which was filled with power, slashed towards Lu Xuan's head. A majestic saber aura surrounded the saber. If Lu Xuan was hit by this slash, the crowd didn't doubt that Lu Xuan would be sliced in half!
As Zheng Gang slashed with his saber, many disciples couldn't help but have a strange look in their eyes. Previously, because of Lu Xuan's dazzling results, they didn't think that Zheng Gang's strength was that strong.
However, after this slash, they realized that Zheng Gang's strength was indeed incomparably strong. He was indeed worthy of the title of genius. If it weren't for Lu Xuan, the first place would definitely belong to Zheng Gang.
"I didn't expect Senior Zheng to be so strong. The final result might even be Senior Zheng's victory!"
"That's what Lu Xuan asked for. He actually dared to say that he could defeat Senior Zheng with only 10% of his Origin Power. Does he really think he's that strong?"
"You can't say that. Even if Zheng Gang wins this time, it's only because he used a trick. He clearly knows that Lu Xuan's Origin Power isn't strong enough, yet he purposely used Origin Power to bully him. It's really an unfair victory."
"Tch, a win is a win, a loss is a loss. There's no such logic."
… …
As Zheng Gang slashed with his saber, the crowd of disciples couldn't help but start discussing again. The result of this battle was once again in suspense. After all, Lu Xuan's biggest weakness was his Origin Power. Now that Zheng Gang had specifically targeted this weakness, if Lu Xuan wanted to block it, it would be incomparably difficult!
"Rock — — Slash!"
After slashing with his saber, Zheng Gang, who had leaped high into the air, shouted out the name of this move.
This move was a middle-grade Yellow Grade Martial Technique! Even though Zheng Gang had only mastered it to 50%, it was still his strongest move, and also his most ferocious move!
If Lu Xuan chose to block it, he had 100% confidence that he could directly crush Lu Xuan!
Everyone's gazes were focused on Lu Xuan. They wanted to see how Lu Xuan, who only had 10% of his Origin Power, was going to block Zheng Gang's unparalleled attack.
