Yu Shangrong had never seen his master lowering his head like this.
For so many years, his master had been standing high above the masses, looking down on all living beings with disdain … How could he possibly say such words?
Yu Shangrong was startled when he heard the words' I don't deserve it '.
Yu Shangrong fell to one knee at once. He planted his fist on the ground and looked at the ground.
No matter how prideful Yu Shangrong was, it was not like he could not accept a master bowing to his disciple.
Lu Zhou did not move. He looked at Yu Shangrong who was kneeling on one knee. He stroked his beard and said, "Sometimes, unnecessary pride will only harm you."
Yu Shangrong looked at the ground and said, "Swords are meant to be cold and proud."
"Overconfidence is conceit … Conceit will blind one's eyes … Do you really think your sword skills are invincible?" Lu Zhou asked indifferently.
"I don't dare."
Yu Shangrong lowered his voice.
"No, don't you dare!" Lu Zhou raised his voice.
As his voice rose.
The others watched on in trepidation.
They didn't even dare to breathe too loudly. They were all curious about how the world's number one devil would train these evil disciples. How did he teach such a peerless genius in the way of the sword?
"I dare not." Yu Shangrong lowered his voice again.
"Stand up and talk."
Yu Shangrong was slightly stunned.
According to his previous style of doing things, he should have been severely punished. Why did he suddenly change his style?
He suddenly thought of his Seventh Junior Brother's words, and his mind was filled with questions.
Yu Shangrong stood up slowly.
Lu Zhou said, "Bring me the sword."
He didn't want to use his Unnamed.
He raised his right hand, waiting for the sword to be delivered.
The people nearby looked at each other. Only Zhou Jifeng was an expert swordsman.
If he did not even have a keen eye for such things, he would have wasted his time in the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Zhou Jifeng hastily drew his sword and placed it in Lu Zhou's palm.
Lu Zhou raised his hand. The sunlight shone on the blade of his sword.
"Since you call me Master, I will use my identity as your Master to see how much you have improved."
A shocked expression appeared on Yu Shangrong's face.
He did not dare to reach for the Longevity Sword.
When Lu Zhou saw that Yu Shangrong did not move, he grunted and thrust his sword forward.
He did not use any elemental energy.
The sword was agile, like a swimming dragon.
Perhaps it was because the material of the sword was not good, but when he used it, there was an obvious shaking.
But it was precisely this swaying feeling that made the sword moves complicated and ever-changing.
Yu Shangrong's expression was grim.
He could look down on anyone but his Master.
When the sword stabbed over, he immediately recognized that this move came from the Guiyuan Sword Technique.
This was the swordsmanship he was best at.
Retreat!
Retreat quickly!
He drew his Longevity Sword and swung it.
When a Heavenly Grade Weapon encountered a weapon of other grades, the result would be the same.
Hu!
Lu Zhou's sword vibrated as he dodged the Longevity Sword at a peculiar angle. Then, he loosened his grip.
"Go!"
The sword was sent out.
Bang!
It was pinned to the wall behind Yu Shangrong. It was less than half an inch from his neck.
…
"In terms of experience, Pavilion Master is clearly superior. In terms of technique … it seems that Pavilion Master is also stronger. Mister Second relied too much on the Longevity Sword. He thought it would break the weapon. Alas, he was wrong … "Hua Wudao nodded in admiration.
Leng Luo said, "That's not all. A sword isn't just a sword … When the time is right, it can be a saber or a concealed weapon. "
Lu Zhou tossed the sword out. This was how a concealed weapon was used.
The problem was, most cultivators relied on Primal Qi to control their weapons. Hence, they did not encounter a situation like this.
Indeed, Yu Shangrong had rich combat experience. In fact, he had faced many life-or-death situations.
However, he had never fought a battle like this before.
It was only natural that he would lose.
Lu Zhou won with a single strike. He placed his hands on his back and said, "Is this your sword path?"
Yu Shangrong was speechless.
He felt that his sword strike was filled with flaws.
He had 10,000 ways to counter it, but he chose the stupidest method.
He knew he would lose, but he did not expect it to be so easy.
His Master was old, and he had defeated Yu Shangrong with a Longevity Sword with an ordinary weapon.
This was not just superior.
Zhu Honggong said excitedly, "Master, your might is unparalleled, and your sword skills are the best! Thousand … autumns … "
Before Zhu Honggong could finish speaking, he sensed the peculiar gazes directed at him from the surroundings.
They were looking at him as though he was a fool.
…
Yu Shangrong cupped his fists and said, "You're right, master."
"Ding! Disciplined Yu Shangrong. Reward: 500 merit points."
His reward was clearly better than the other disciples.
Lu Zhou could not be blamed for this.
Yu Shangrong was indeed too proud.
Lu Zhou looked at the Longevity Sword in his hand and asked, "When did you reach the Eight-leaf stage?"
"I can't remember."
Yu Shangrong gave it some thought before he added, "About 100 years ago."
As soon as he said that.
The onlookers cried out in surprise.
Yu Shangrong still looked so young.
How could they not be envious and jealous?
Then, he turned to look at the old men from the Old Age Pavilion.
Sigh.
Comparisons were odious.
Hua Wudao felt the most ashamed. In terms of appearance, he was older than Leng Luo and Pan Litian. However, he was only at the Seven-leaf stage. Attaining the Eight-leaf stage was still a long way off.
It was said that the Evil Sky Pavilion's nine disciples possessed shocking talents, and it was true.
They could not help but think of the mischievous Miss Ninth, Little Yuan 'er.
She had only entered the sect for less than six years. Based on her cultivation speed, it wouldn't be long before she would crush her senior brothers and sisters and become the number one.
…
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and looked at Yu Shangrong. "Why aren't you a Nine-leaf cultivator?"
This was a question he asked after much thought.
With Yu Shangrong's talent, he should be able to attain the Nine-leaf stage in 100 years.
Yu Shangrong replied, "I want to live."
Lu Zhou remembered Gong Yuandu's words. He wondered if Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai had made similar attempts since they were both Eight-leaf experts.
Jing Yan's death in the Cloud Shine Nunnery was proof of this.
"The Nine-leaf stage absorbs life force … Are you suppressing your cultivation base like Yu Zhenghai?" Lu Zhou stared at Yu Shangrong intently.
When Yu Shangrong heard this, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Nobody in this world can surpass this great limit. The Nine-leaf stage is merely a taboo set by the heavens. Anyone who dares to step foot into this taboo will die. I've known this since the first day I joined the sect … Master, why are you still so stubborn? "
The others were shocked as well.
Lu Zhou was the only one who knew that Yu Shangrong's cultivation base was only in the Dao-transforming Divine Court realm.
However, to the others, Lu Zhou was a Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm cultivator with a perfected Eight-leaf Golden Lotus avatar.
It was only natural for him to seek the Nine-leaf stage!
Hence, Yu Shangrong's words sounded more like a disciple advising his master not to make pointless attempts. Why go against the truth?
Lu Zhou frowned. "Do I need you to tell me what to do?"
"I dare not!" Yu Shangrong addressed himself as his disciple again.
"Men," Lu Zhou said.
Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng stepped forward at the same time.
Lu Zhou said, "Take the Longevity Sword with you!"
Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng. "…"
Among those present, they were the only ones with low statuses and were young. Hence, it was only natural for them to do some menial tasks.
However, if they were to offend Yu Shangrong, it would be equivalent to asking for their lives.
