Chapter 347: [Taoist Nun in the Bamboo Forest]
Lu Xun nodded slightly as he looked at Xu Zhongcheng, who seed to have made a breakthrough in his Sword Heart.
Although he didn’t understand, why had Xu Zhongcheng made a breakthrough in his Sword Heart?
He had always believed Xu Zhongcheng to be a rather stubborn lad. Otherwise, during the Outer Sect trial, the youngster wouldn’t have continued to push himself despite depleted Spiritual Energy, even going as far as frothing at the mouth and sporting an expression that scread, “I’m broken.”
“Could it be that his breakthrough in Sword Dao was because he regained his confidence and beca stubborn again? Did the core of his Sword Dao really lie in his stubbornness?” Lu Xun wondered internally.
Regardless, it was always a good thing.
He estimated that the forum would be flooded with posts shortly.
And, given the nature of the silly gars, the protagonist of the posts won’t be Xu Zhongcheng but Lu Xun.
The titles might even be along the lines of “Purple Palace Cares for , Bestowing Longevity.”
All the players wanted was to watch the fun, but they didn’t expect to witness a breakthrough. The Purple Palace truly lived up to its reputation. The power of idols was infinite!
On the high platform, Luo Wanqiu’s mature yet charming figure was still partially leaning on the table. With a slight smile, her beautiful eyes rotated as she said, “Little Uncle Master really knows how to guide people, even touching upon their ntal state.”
Sitting upright, Shen Yan thought to himself, “Luo junior sister, if you want to praise Little Uncle Master, just do it. Why are you looking at ?”
Luo Wanqiu turned around and asked Lin Chan, “Is Little Uncle Master usually like this when he points out things to you?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Chan montarily hesitated.
Then, she nodded vigorously.
Any praise for her master should be agreed with, regardless of whether or not it was true!
“Chan junior sister is really fortunate. Your master is handso and is good at teaching disciples,” Luo Wanqiu joked with a smile.
Sitting next to them, Shen Yan, who was not handso and not as good at teaching disciples, felt offended.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chan lowered her head slightly.
The small ears poking out from her bundled hair imdiately turned a faint red.
The phrase “your master is handso” kept echoing in her mind.
Upon thinking about it, she couldn’t help but sneak another few glances at her master.
After returning to the high platform, Lu Xun sat beside Lin Chan. Seeing the lingering blush on her ears, he turned and asked, “Did you guys bully my disciple?”
Everyone denied it imdiately.
Lu Xun jokingly warned, “I am warning all of you old ignoramuses, don’t bully Little Chan, and don’t lead her astray!”
Upon hearing this, Lin Chan’s ears turned even redder.
Shen Yan and the others responded with serious expressions, “Little Uncle Master, what are you talking about! Although we are mbers of the Demon Sect, we never act recklessly!”
In his mind, Lu Xun thought, “Sure, I totally believe in your ‘evilness’!”
After the teasing ended, Shen Yan and the others pointed out a few things to Xu Zhongcheng, honestly telling him that he had exposed quite a few weaknesses from the start. Little Uncle Master only let him taste defeat in order to shape him up and didn’t take advantage of his predicant.
Upon hearing this, an image of Lu Xun’s self-sacrificing dedication was instantly established in the hearts of the disciples of the Demon Sect.
Looking at his rapidly increasing “Reputation Value,” Lu Xun thought, “This isn’t what I aid for!”
Regardless, an increase in Reputation Value was always a good thing. He could use it later to exchange for Random Special Attribute Points through Reputation Value Tasks.
After hearing what Shen Yan and the other said, Xu Zhongcheng promptly bowed again.
Looking at him who had just made a breakthrough, Lu Xun thought, “Actually, I could also make a breakthrough right on the spot.”
He still had 1 point in “Swordsmanship Aptitude” that he hadn’t added yet.
Making a breakthrough under countless gazes was sure to boost his Reputation Value substantially.
But after giving it so thought, Lu Xun didn’t take this course of action.
It wasn’t because he had had a change of heart and decided to stop showing off. Rather, in his eyes, the key figures in the Inner Sect assessnt were the Outer Sect Disciples led by Ji Li. Today was their shining mont since joining the sect, and he shouldn’t steal their thunder.
“Perform well, Ji Li.” Lu Xun thought to himself, casting a glance at Ji Li on the stage.
He saw Ji Li standing confidently in the middle of the other disciples being assessed, her chest puffed out, clearly full of confidence.
Well, with her size, others might have a bamboo in their chest, but she surely had a bamboo forest.
And so, after a small diversion, the Demon Sect’s Inner Sect advancent test officially began.
Lu Xun sat at the top, watching. He found that his own Sword-Serving Child, Li Zuole, was surprisingly part of the assessnt.
“Not bad, he actually made it through the preliminary selection. The Experience Points I invested in him didn’t go to waste,” Lu Xun nodded slightly in approval.
Unfortunately, Li Zuole still didn’t pass the exam and was ruthlessly hamred.
Li Zuole, a fairly famous professional player who was also a professional scumbag, was so tornted by a female deacon that he began to doubt his life.
This was normal. At this ti, the players hadn’t developed yet, the ti for them to truly shine would be during the next Inner Sect advancent test.
Not much later, it was Ji Li’s turn to step onto the stage.
Firstly, she bowed to the evaluation deacon, then inhaled deeply and thought to herself, “Ji Li, perform well, Lu Xun is watching!”
She wanted to join the Back Mountain. She wanted to get closer to Lu Xun.
She was the first person Lu Xun had t, yet now, there was such a great distance between them.
I was here first…
Still, the sa sentence: I, Ji Li, will never give up!
Who would have thought that craving soone to the depths of your soul could actually beco the motivation for cultivation.
As soon as Ji Li stepped onto the stage, she imdiately attracted everyone’s attention.
After all, she was the first in the Outer Sect Competition.
Soon, Ji Li’s outstanding performance conquered everyone.
Whether it’s her Cultivation Base or Sword Dao, or her battle skills, I am willing to call you the strongest in the Outer Sect!
“It wasn’t a waste of my daily flogging.” Lu Xun expressed satisfaction.
Aren’t these inner gate tests just about being tortured by a master?
Ji Li often practiced with Lu Xun and was accustod to being defeated.
Lu Xun never held back, after all, it didn’t affect his Favorability.
It’s precisely because of this that Ji Li improved so quickly.
The female Deacon of the Inner Sect who was fighting against Ji Li was secretly shocked.
She is not for the first ti in charge of the promotion examination, but over the years, Ji Li is the most comprehensive Outer Sect Disciple she has encountered.
That’s right, she may not have the highest Cultivation Base, or the most formidable comprehension of Sword Dao, but she is the most comprehensive.
The female Deacon found this competition to be sowhat challenging.
During the Inner Sect advancent exam, the Deacons’ shots are both fierce and cunning, which is actually a lesson for them, informing them that when they fight against others, the enemy can do anything!
But how could this delicate young girl be so proficient at dealing with such cruel and cunning moves?
The certain bastard sitting above the high platform again revealed a satisfied smile, thinking to himself: “Not bad, not bad, she rembered what I taught, she’s taken it all to heart.”
In his view, what is needed in a life-and-death duel is victory. We’re just trying to save our lives, so tactics are not necessarily dirty.
Therefore, he had also specially trained her in every way possible.
Watching Ji Li’s effortless performance, Lu Xun once again experienced a different kind of pleasure in nurturing.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, my training skills are top-notch!” he thought to himself.
Backhill, bamboo forest.
A thin woman in a black Daoist robe sat on a huge rock.
Her pale and slender fingers were stroking a little black cat in her arms, her eyes slightly lowered as if lost in thought.
Gu Xiaoman was sensing Ji Li’s performance on Yanwu Peak. She was sowhat surprised but still nodded in satisfaction.
She had actually seen Ji Li several tis. When Lu Xun first joined the Backhill, he was still unconscious, and Ji Li took care of him on the mountain.
Her impression of Second Sister has always been good.
And Ji Li’s growth rate also made her feel great.
Her eyes were half-closed, looking sleepy, but in fact, she was pondering in her heart.
Soon, she made a decision.
Furthermore, she had already promised her little junior brother.
Ji Li’s battle took a bit longer, by the ti it was finished, people like Shen Yan had already prepared to compete for a disciple, all thinking about being the first to express their intention to accept disciples.
At this mont, a mysterious force arose on the high platform and enveloped the entire platform.
Back in the bamboo forest, the Second Sister let out a sigh of relief after doing all this.
She had a stutter and didn’t speak quickly.
So she could only “silence” them.
Gu Xiaoman took a deep breath to calm her emotions, hoping to speak a little more fluently when she conveyed her ssage later.
On the high platform, people like Shen Yan who were silenced looked at each other.
They were not weak, and they could certainly “resist”.
But they could sense that this force was coming from the Backhill.
And this familiar feeling in the unfamiliar… It was the Second Uncle who took the shot!
The image of a thin woman clad in a black Daoist robe with her hair bunned up with a wooden hairpin popped up in their minds.
Soon, a cold voice spread throughout Yanwu Peak. The voice sounded… a bit stuck?
Yes, it was intermittent.
“Ji… Li, are you willing… to… take… as your master?”
