Seeing that Qi did not interact with him, Lu An did not continue to look at him and continued to focus on his cultivation.
Jun sat at the side, while Qi stood at the side, watching Lu An cultivate the Dragon Catching Technique. Qi's gaze was cold and emotionless as he looked at Lu An. It was as if he was looking at a cold corpse.
"I think you're not just here to watch him cultivate," Jun said after a while.
Hearing Jun's words, Qi frowned, but finally nodded and said, "I just want to see how powerful Yao's friends are."
"His talent is okay, but his strength is a little weak." Jun smiled and said, "But he's only thirteen years old, still very young. Don't tell me you're going to get angry with a thirteen-year-old boy? "
"After returning to the Immortal Realm, of course not." Qi said respectfully, "If I were to make a move on him, I would be bullying him. But there are many people in Sengoku who are of the same age as him, and they can learn from each other. "
"What do you mean?" Jun asked.
"Hold a small competition to test the talent of the younger generation of the various branches." Qi frowned and said in a deep voice, "Let him participate, and let him know how big the gap is between him and Sengoku."
Hearing Qi's words, Jun thought for a while and said, "This is not a small matter, I need to discuss it with your Uncle Yuan."
"Yes." Qi said.
"Actually, your Uncle Yuan and I both hope that you and Little Yao can be together." Jun sighed softly and said, "But after what happened last time, I realized that we can't push her too hard. If she runs away again, whether she can come back safely is a problem. We can only help you indirectly in matters of the heart, and we can't do anything more. "
Qi was shocked, turned around, and bowed to Jun, saying, "Yes, I will work hard to win Yao's heart as soon as possible."
"Mm." Jun looked at Qi and nodded satisfactorily.
At this time, Lu An, who was far away on the other side, was wholeheartedly cultivating, and naturally could not hear the conversation between the two. The current him did not know that he was about to start fighting again.

Four days later, Yuan suddenly called for a meeting and announced that a competition would be held in Sengoku in a month's time. The competition would be open to everyone under the age of 20. Furthermore, Yao, who had just returned, would be participating as well.
After receiving this news, all of the important figures of the branch families were somewhat surprised. However, this matter was indeed no small matter. They immediately returned to their own places to announce this. This competition was very likely to redefine the status of the various branch branches, and it would also affect the main branch's attitude towards the various branch branches.
Furthermore, even Princess Yao was participating, so naturally, the rest of the people under the age of twenty were all participating without exception. This included Lu An, who was not even a citizen of Sengoku.
At this time, they were still notifying Lu An from afar, and Yuan and Jun's original one-month agreement was directly transferred to this competition. When Lu An heard the news, he couldn't help but be stunned. Although he didn't know why the competition was suddenly held, he really didn't want to fight with others right now.
This wasn't because his two types of Fate Wheels were sealed, causing his strength to plummet. Instead, it was because he was now very busy cultivating every day and didn't want to waste his time elsewhere. Now, he was practicing the Art of Dragon Catching with Jun during the day, and studying the Art of Immortals by himself at night.
Later, he went to Jun to ask her not to participate in this competition, but was rejected by her. What Jun meant was that no one was exempt from this competition, including Lu An.
Lu An had no choice but to agree. However, having lost two types of Fate Wheels, he didn't want to start cultivating other attributes. Therefore, he focused all of his energy on Immortal Qi. In the competition, he wanted to purely rely on Immortal Qi to fight.
After Jun taught Lu An Art of Immortals for a few more days, Lu An's Art of Dragon Catching had begun to take shape. Although it still seemed a little comical, it was starting to get on the right track. The speed surprised Jun.
After getting on the right track, Jun didn't continue to watch Lu An cultivate every day. Instead, she came to watch for a while every few days. Lu An, on the other hand, was cultivating as hard as before without slacking off at all.

Time flew. In the blink of an eye, it was a month later.
During this month, Lu An And Yao had very few opportunities to see each other. Yao had to cultivate with her father, while Lu An had to cultivate by himself. In addition, the two of them didn't eat together, so the time they had to see each other was pitiful.
Occasionally, Yao would run to Lu An's courtyard at night and chat with Lu An for a while. The two of them were very busy during the rest of the time. During this period of time, something else happened.
Because of the matter of the Endless Desert, Yuan was very happy and gave a lot of rewards to everyone who participated in the battle. The reward given to Qi was especially generous. Although Lu An didn't know what it was, he heard that it was something that could increase one's strength. After using that thing, Qi's strength increased greatly and reached a new level.
Therefore, Qi officially became the youngest person in the collateral family to be comparable to a Level Six Celestial Master in the past 200 years. When Lu An heard the news, he couldn't help but be shocked. Qi didn't look more than 30 years old, but he already had the strength of a Level Six Celestial Master. With such strength, he could only bow down and worship him.
He was only a Level One Celestial Master. The difference between them was like heaven and earth.
Lu An had also asked Yao about it. In Sengoku, even the collateral family members who were the same age as him had the strength of a Level Two Celestial Master. There were even Level Three Celestial Masters. After hearing the news, Lu An couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.
Indeed, comparisons were odious.
However, Lu An wasn't discouraged, nor was he disappointed. Instead, he worked hard to cultivate as usual. In his opinion, people's paths were different, and the speed of progress would be different. However, it didn't necessarily mean that the end point would be different.
On the last day of the one-month period.
Lu An sat in his room and repeatedly read the "High Immortal's Technique" on the table. He could almost memorize the contents of the book, but he kept reading it. This was because he felt that he could comprehend more things by reading this book.
A month had passed, and the progress in this "High Immortal's Technique" was almost negligible. It couldn't even be considered superficial. Of course, if a divine art that could create Sengoku could be learned so easily, then it would be a fantasy. Just as Lu An was reading from the beginning again, he suddenly heard a series of knocks on the door.
It was already nighttime, and it was very late. Lu An stood up and walked out of the study room. When he opened the door, as expected, Yao was standing outside.
"An." Yao revealed a smile towards Lu An and said.
Perhaps it was because Sengoku's names were all one word, so Yao had always called Lu An "An". Naturally, Lu An didn't mind.
"Miss Yao." Lu An revealed a smile as well, and said. "It's already so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Aren't you awake as well?" Yao said. "When you walk in from outside, you can see that the study room is lit up. And I know that you definitely won't sleep! "
Lu An smiled, and said. "Come in and talk."
The two of them sat down. After Lu An poured a cup of tea for Yao, he asked. "How do you feel after cultivating for more than a month?"
"Not bad." After taking a small sip, Yao seemed to be a little excited. She nodded and said. "In the past, I didn't like cultivating, but because of my experience with you, I feel that I should protect others like you. So now that I'm cultivating, although it's a little tiring, it's not bad! "
Seeing Yao's happy look, Lu An more or less calmed down. He smiled and asked. "Then how's your progress?"
"My progress is a secret, you know!" Yao smiled, revealing a mysterious smile, and said. "At the very least, I won't disappoint you!"
Lu An smiled, and said. "Alright."
"Then what about you?" Yao curiously asked. "How's your cultivation?"
"I … I don't know how to evaluate it either." Lu An was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and said. "I don't have anyone to compare with, so I don't know if it's good or bad. However, if I were to spar with others, I'm afraid it would be disastrous. "
"Is that so …" Yao was clearly a little disappointed. After all, in her heart, Lu An was extremely strong. However, she still immediately said. "It's fine. You've only cultivated divine arts for a month, and your body has just been modified as well. Back then, when Big Sis Yuan came, she couldn't even cultivate a single divine art in a month or two! "
Lu An nodded slightly when he heard this, and said. "I just hope that I won't lose too badly, and embarrass you."
