On the square in the front hall of Zheng Shou Peak, Lu Ye held the hilt of his saber under the blood-coloured golden flame flag as he stared forward with a solemn expression.
Opposite him, Li Ba Xian casually held a sword in his hand as he smiled and said, "In half a year, you've reached the Fifth-Order, your strength has increased too quickly. In fact, sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to increase one's cultivation too quickly, because others have more time to polish their Battle Skills while you don't. Especially for an Armament Cultivator, Battle Skills are very important. Under the golden light, you have more than enough courage to fight the enemy, but your lack of skill is your biggest shortcoming. "
In half a year, he had grown from a little cultivator who had just opened his apertures to the Fifth-Order Realm and had even mastered a defensive Spirit Rune. This matter had long since spread and was no longer a secret.
Lu Ye originally thought that the Temple Master would ask about this matter, and he had already thought about it. If the Temple Master asked, he would tell him the truth.
But in fact, since he woke up, the Temple Master had not asked about this matter at all. He had only told Lu Ye a few days ago when everyone was lying in bed and recuperating. Now, many people knew that he had obtained some fortuitous encounters in the Spirit Stream Battlefield, so perhaps some people would have ideas about this, so he should be more vigilant.
Of course, the possibility of such a thing happening was not high, because the Temple Master had said that there were many fortuitous encounters in the Spirit Stream Battlefield. Lu Ye's growth to the Fifth-Order in half a year seemed fast, but there had been even faster in history. There was once a mortal who had obtained a fortuitous encounter in the Spirit Stream Battlefield and reached the Ninth-Order in just a year.
The Spirit Stream Battlefield had many mysterious places that contained all kinds of mysteries. It was difficult for ordinary people to see them, but those who were fated could easily obtain them.
Almost every few years, someone would obtain a fortuitous encounter. The Cultivation World had become accustomed to this kind of thing, and most people just envied others' good luck.
For those who really pursued something, it was better to work hard than to envy others' good luck.
"The old man is a Dharma Cultivator and Second Senior Sister is a Medical Cultivator. They are too strong and haven't taught anyone for many years, so they won't be able to teach you anything. As your Fourth Senior Brother, I will teach you well." Li Baxian laughed heartily. For him, teaching Lu Ye seemed to be a great job, "You're a Fifth-Order cultivator, so I'll suppress my cultivation to the Fifth-Order. I won't take advantage of you, use all your skills to attack!"
As he spoke, he took a sip from the wine gourd in his hand.
However, the moment he lifted the wine gourd, Lu Ye rushed towards him. Halfway through, he unsheathed his saber and slashed horizontally.
"You know how to sneak attack. Very good." Li Baxian didn't move his feet. Instead, he leaned back slightly. The Pan Shan Saber brushed past his neck but didn't hurt him in the slightest. He even had the leisure to comment on Lu Ye's saber, "When facing an enemy, you must maintain this kind of indomitable momentum. However, it's not a good thing if you use too much strength. It's easy to be caught by others."
The blade in Lu Ye's hand slashed down diagonally, but Li Baxian dodged it again. He didn't even move his feet as he continued, "Insufficient adaptability, slow to change moves …"
On the square, Lu Ye continuously attacked with his saber. Li Baxian dodged while jabbering on and on, causing Lu Ye's head to be filled with anger and his attacks to become even more ferocious.
However, he helplessly discovered that the gap between him and his Fourth Senior Brother was too big. Although his Fourth Senior Brother had suppressed his cultivation to the Fifth-Order, Lu Ye couldn't even touch a corner of his robes.
Every time Lu Ye slashed out, Fourth Senior Brother was able to dodge as if he could predict the future. Moreover, up until now, his Fourth Senior Brother hadn't even used his sword. Instead, he simply held the long sword in his hand and took a few sips of wine while speaking.
Only now did Lu Ye realize how terrifying his Fourth Senior Brother was. If a character like his Fourth Senior Brother had appeared on the golden platform, he would have been beaten to a pulp.
After taking another sip of wine, Li Baxian's aura suddenly changed. He raised the long sword in his hand and casually resolved Lu Ye's attacks, leisurely saying, "Little Junior Brother, be careful, I'm about to attack!"
In the next moment, a series of clanging sounds rang out, causing Lu Ye's expression to become solemn. His Fourth Senior Brother's sword didn't have much strength, nor was it fast, but the timing of each strike was just right, making it difficult for Lu Ye to form a slash. A moment later, Lu Ye felt like he was a puppet being manipulated, only able to passively defend against his Fourth Senior Brother's attacks.
Li Baxian stepped forward step by step, while Lu Ye retreated step by step. When their swords collided, Li Baxian said, "In a battle between Armament Cultivators, you must control your own rhythm and make your opponent follow your rhythm. Once you do this, you can lead your opponent by the nose, just like this!"
As soon as his voice fell, he swung his long sword, causing Lu Ye's body to suddenly lean back, leaving his chest wide open as a sword light pierced straight towards him. When Lu Ye saw this sword, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. With a thought, a Defensive Spirit Rune appeared on his chest.
However, in the next moment, he froze. Looking down, he saw that his Fourth Senior Brother's sword had pierced his chest, only an inch away from his heart.
His Defensive Spirit Rune actually didn't have time to block this sword!
And … was Fourth Senior Brother for real?
Lu Ye looked up and saw Li Baxian's eyes drooping. "Little Junior Brother, you're dead!"
He suddenly pulled out his sword, causing blood to spurt out as Lu Ye staggered back.
Not far away, Yiyi, who was watching the battle in high spirits, suddenly exclaimed. She got up and was about to run towards Lu Ye.
A hand pressed down on her shoulder. Yiyi turned her head and saw Shui Yuan shaking her head at her. "In the future, when he walks on the battlefield and in the Nine Provinces, the enemies he encounters won't show mercy to him. Now that he's suffering here, he'll suffer less in the future."
Although Yiyi was worried, she knew that her Second Senior Sister would never harm Lu Ye, so she endured it and continued to watch. At the same time, she also understood why her Second Senior Sister had prepared a large basin of medicinal liquid before the battle …
"Again!" Lu Ye took a deep breath. Although his chest was almost pierced through, his Fourth Senior Brother's attack was measured and didn't hurt his vital parts. He raised the long sword in his hand and charged towards Li Baxian again.
A moment later, blood splashed as Li Baxian's faint voice sounded, "Little Junior Brother, you've died again!"
A moment later, "Little Junior Brother, you've died three times!"
An hour later, Lu Ye was lying on the ground with a pale face, his body covered in wounds. Although they weren't serious, he had lost a lot of blood and was unable to fight again.
In just a short hour, he had been "killed" by his Fourth Senior Brother over a hundred times, and this was under the premise that his Fourth Senior Brother had held back.
The sun was so bright that Lu Ye found it difficult to open his eyes.
A shadow covered his eyes as Li Baxian squatted down in front of him and smiled, "How do you feel?"
Lu Ye didn't know how to answer. How could this feeling be described as terrible?
He couldn't help asking, "Fourth Senior Brother, has our Blue Blood Sect always trained its disciples like this before?" If this was really the case, then it would be a waste of disciples …
"How is that possible?" Li Baxian chuckled, "You're all alone now, so we can only take care of you. You don't need to worry, the medicinal cuisine you ate before has the effect of replenishing your vitality, so you'll be fine after a night of rest. "
Lu Ye now understood why there had been such a large table of good food before.
"Then Fourth Senior Brother, have you ever taught others before?"
"No."
"So you don't know how to teach others either!"
Because he didn't know how to teach others, he could only rely on Lu Ye's own injuries to remember each fatal crisis, and this kind of physical memory was undoubtedly the most unforgettable.
Li Baxian patted him on the shoulder and said sincerely, "Let's be considerate of each other. Also, this was Second Senior Sister's idea, it had nothing to do with me … "
Before he could finish speaking, Second Senior Sister grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and lifted him off to the side.
Immediately after, Shui Yuan helped Lu Ye up and led him to a nearby room where a medicinal liquid had been prepared.
After being treated by Second Senior Sister, Lu Ye was full of energy again. Her skin and flesh wounds healed quickly. The medicinal liquid concocted by Second Senior Sister was extraordinarily effective. Coupled with the fact that she was a medical cultivator herself, Lu Ye got up in the evening with her whole body drenched.
His wounds had not completely healed yet, but he should be fine after another night.
Moreover, the old and new scars all over Lu Ye's body had disappeared. This was Second Senior Sister's miraculous method.
In the evening, after eating another table of medicinal cuisine, Lu Ye entered the Spirit Stream Battlefield using the Heaven's Fate Pillar.
He planned to cultivate on the battlefield at night as this was the most efficient place to cultivate.
As soon as he appeared in Heaven's Fate Hall, he felt the aura of strangers outside. Lu Ye turned his head and saw two heads looking in his direction. One of them was the one he met yesterday, while the other was a stranger, but judging from his aura, he was a Seventh-Order cultivator.
Lu Ye thought about it for a moment before stepping out.
The Seventh-Order cultivator greeted him enthusiastically and cupped his fists, "Are you Fellow Daoist Lu Ye from Blue Blood Sect? This one is Chen Yu. "
Lu Ye nodded and threw a contract to Chen Yu, "If there are no problems, sign it."
"Hm?" Chen Yu looked confused as he took the contract and read it carefully.
When he returned during the day, Lu Ye asked Second Senior Sister and Fourth Senior Brother about how to deal with the rogue cultivators in the station and also learned about the general situation here from Second Senior Sister.
Although Second Senior Sister could not enter and leave the Spirit Stream Battlefield at will, there were a few rogue cultivators she trusted here. Second Senior Sister had asked them to inquire about Lu Ye's whereabouts, but their cultivations were not high, so before news of Lu Ye spread, they did not manage to find anything useful. By the time they received the news, it was already too late.
Through those rogue cultivators, Second Senior Sister had some understanding of the situation in the station.
Chen Yu was one of them and was the strongest among the rogue cultivators. After all, this was the outermost area, so a Seventh-Order cultivator was already very high. Moreover, the market here had always been managed by him, which was why he wanted to talk to Lu Ye.
The market in the station was not the same as the ones Lu Ye had passed by before. There was no Heavenly Secret Commerce Union Subunion here because this was still Blue Blood Sect's station. Rogue cultivators could come here, but Heavenly Secret Commerce Union could not, otherwise, it would be a provocation to Blue Blood Sect.
However, even without a Heavenly Secret Commerce Union Subunion, this place was still quite popular because the World Energy here was ten percent richer than in the wild, which was a great attraction to rogue cultivators.
