Once they thought about how Lu Xun had never even touched a sword since he entered the sect, the smiles of Shen Yan and the others were all the more radiant.
Without cultivating a sword technique and without even holding a longsword, he already comprehended the Heart of the Sword. If this wasn’t the legendary Natural Sword Constitution, then what was!?
Sir was indeed worthy of being a teacher, the disciples he accepted were indeed mysterious!
For us, the Demon Sect, to have obtained someone with the Natural Sword Constitution, we would definitely be able to embarrass the One Sword Mountain and the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain again in the future!
Lu Xun could only look at Shen Stewed Egg and the peak masters’ smiles became more unbridled at the moment, he felt a little stupefied inside.
However, since everyone was laughing, he could only laugh along, this way, he seemed to fit in more.
Since he looked too handsome, his smile was quite charming. In the eyes of bystanders, this became a confident and natural smile, it was as if everything really was what they had thought all of a sudden.
Of course, his gaze stayed on the prestige value all along, he blankly stared at it as his prestige value broke through the barrier of 2,000. In the blink of an eye, it reached over 2,300, it was still rapidly increasing!
‘Ding! Prestige value mission has been completed, do you wish to receive the reward?’
After Lu Xun chose to receive it, 10,000 points of experience value was immediately transferred to his account, he even now had the bonus reward of a special attribute point that he could freely assign!
In his current panel’s information, the experience bar already turned into ‘10,150/1000,’ it was an immense sum that descended from heaven!
To increase from level two to level three required 1,000 points of experience value, then from level three to level four required a bit more. To count in this way, the experience value he had now was enough for him to increase to the fifth layer of the Qi Devouring Formula!
Plus, he still had the special attribute point that could be freely assigned, this was the great treasure he longed for!
‘It feels good.’ Lu Xun thought.
After Shen Yan calmed down, he said to Lu Xun, “Does Little Uncle-Master need to return to the Rear Mountain to meditate? Regarding the trip to the outer sect trials, why not…”
“It’s no matter, Sect Master, I still want to try it out,” Lu Xun immediately said.
‘I’m not kidding, no one can stop me from doing missions!’
Previously when he played ‘Heavenly Earth’, he was an absolute mission maniac, if he didn’t do missions he would be an uncomfortablesky[1].
If this was perfectly completed, then that would be an additional 5,000 points of experience value, it was quite a lot!
Shen Yan and the peak masters looked each other in the eyes and then nodded.
“You’re our Little Uncle-Master, you have the final say.”
Therefore, he personally delivered Lu Xun to the outer mountains, this was where the outer sect disciples were.
It was reasonable to say that Shen Yan and the peak masters should return to their respective peaks, however, they had no intention of dispersing for the moment.
“Oh? Does everyone want to see the results of Little Uncle-Master’s trial?” Shen Yan asked in his screeching chicken-like voice.
“Exactly, why don’t we go to Evergreen Peak to have tea? It has also been quite a while since us brothers sat together to have tea and chat, when was the last time again?” Evergreen Peak’s Peak Master Sima Chuan said.
“Yesterday,” Lightning Peak’s Peak Master, the concurrent Law-enforcing Elder, Gongshu Pan replied heartlessly.
“Senior Brother Gongshu, how truly dull of you!” The full-figured and beautiful woman, Water Cloud Peak’s Peak Master Luo Wanqiu, rolled her eyes at him with an expression of dislike all across her face.
In reality, everyone was only finding a reason to sit together and be on-lookers, only you liked to mercilessly expose us like this!
However, since everyone has been senior brothers and sisters for so many years, they naturally understood each other, the most lively and unrestrained Leap Next Peak’s Peak Master Yue Heshan teased him, “Then, Senior Brother Gongshu doesn’t want to watch?”
“Cough, cough, I’ll watch with you,” Gongshu Pan pulled a long gloomy face as he said this.
For people with their cultivation, all the details of the trials in the outer mountains could be taken in all at once, it was unnecessary to be personally on the site.
Not to mention their statuses, if they all went together, then many outer sect disciples would probably be very nervous, their performances might be influenced when the time comes.
However, after this bunch of shameless old people sat down together—while under the suggestive guidance of the charitable gambling king, Yue Heshan, who had lost in every gamble—there was obviously the tendency for another round of betting.
“What say you guys… amongst these new recruits, which one of them will emerge on top?” Yue Heshan already started to lay down the groundwork.
What he referred to in his words were mainly the fresh talents amongst the outer sect disciples, Lu Xun wasn’t counted.
Although their statuses were extremely high in the Demon Sect, they would still occasionally pay attention to the disciples that recently joined the sect, after all, the disciples were the future of the Demon Sect.
“That child called Xu Zhongchen isn’t bad, I have high hopes for him,” Sima Chuan said.
This Xu Chongzhen’s cultivation aptitude was eight ripples, he was considered a rare cultivation genius.
“Then I’m more optimistic about Ji Li,” said Shen Yan, who had already invested a small piece of fire essence on Ji Li.
In reality, Lu Xun constantly stayed at the Rear Mountain, so he didn’t know that Ji Li and Xu Zhongchen’s cultivation aptitude were both the rarely seen eight ripples, this was why the both of them were the center of attention at the outer sect. Many people would compare them against each other.
This was an unavoidable matter after all, competition that exists amongst disciples wasn’t considered a bad thing, so long as the competition was straightforward and upright.
The winner shouldn’t be overconfident, and should continue to strive to the top, the loser also shouldn’t harbor resentment, and strive to reverse the score. A cultivation environment like this would be especially good.
Even Lu Xun would sometimes feel that the Demon Sect was just like a large school, and unlike what was written in many online novels where everyone only had first place in their eyes. As if when they climbed to the top, they’d be able to humiliate anyone, even if they killed the former first place, no elders in the sect would come out to stop it…
It was as if there was only room for one person in the eyes of the big shots in the sect.
This was actually a load of nonsense, just like inside a school, the number one ranked god-like student was naturally the center of attention. However, the other top students wouldn’t go as far as to be completely reduced to background scenery.
If it truly were so, then even if everyone cultivated the heretical Dao, this sect couldn’t possibly have developed and expanded like this.
Just like a high school needed a top scorer in college entrance examinations, it also needed students to enroll in top colleges, both these were needed!
Everyone was adults, there was no need to choose like that, can’t they all be accepted?
At this very moment, there weren’t many disciples that could catch the discerning eyes of the big shots, but there certainly wasn’t just a single one. Therefore, Yue Heshan got what he desired, the betting commenced again!
The charitable gambling King, Yue Heshan, placed his bets on Xu Zhongchen, he was confident that he would surely win this time.
The outer sect trials this time became interesting all of a sudden.
…
…
On the other side, Lu Xun walked on the roads of the outer mountains, the outer sect disciples who encountered him paid their respects one after another, readily calling him Little Great Uncle-Master. They respectfully congratulated him on his vigorous cultivation progress.
Lu Xun smiled and nodded, his smile was both gentle and amiable, he strove to win over every tool… bleh, to leave a good impression in the minds of every junior, so as to continue increasing his prestige value.
The prestige value mission was a chain mission, now that he unlocked the second chain, the mission required him to reach 5,000 points of prestige value, once he did so, it would give 50,000 points of experience value and randomly assign a special attribute point for him.
Yes, it was no longer a freely assigned attribute point, it would then be randomly assigned like drawing a prize. The darned game was quite cheap and not that generous.
After walking for a while, he came to the gathering point of outer sect disciples who participated in this time’s trials.
There were quite a lot of people who were participating this time, it looked to be about no less than a hundred people. While the one who led the group was the outer sect elder Autumn Water, who Lu Xun had seen once.
After receiving a series of salutations, Lu Xun lightly smiled and nodded, and then, he searched for Ji Li’s figure in the crowd.
He finally found her after searching for a long while.
She wasn’t tall to begin with, and she didn’t dare to try and wave at Lu Xun on such an occasion, she was desperately tiptoeing in the crowd at this moment.
