Chapter 88: [The True Natural Sword Embryo)
Translator: 549690339
Lu Xun, the Fake Natural Sword Embryo, was now facing a genuine Natural Sword Embryo.
His title was blurted out by people like Shen Yan, a fignt of their imagination.
They were deluding themselves with this idea, but Lu Xun certainly didn’t protest. Just for the sake of gaining the “Reputation Value,” he was taking this title of a Natural Sword Embryo for his own. If anyone dared to question it, they’d have him to answer to!
But in his heart of hearts, he knew he wasn’t one. He knew just how ludicrous a genuine Natural Sword Embryo could be!
Such as the poor little mute girl before him now.
At this mont, he couldn’t help but sigh, “I have to say…Both One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain are pretty pitiful. For the Sects established on the principle of the sword, it seems that no Natural Sword Embryo has appeared since the first Sect Leader of Sword Mountain.”
The Demon Sect, One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain have long-standing disputes. After all, Yan Li still holds the title of the world’s first Sword Cultivator. If they were to publicly announce — “Let lay my cards on the table, our Demon Sect has two Natural Sword Embryos!” Who knows how One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Mountain would react…
Up until now, Lu Xun, by adding points, only managed to increase his Swordsmanship Aptitude to 3. While a Natural Sword Embryo starts life with a scary full score of 10.
Even during his ti playing “Heavenly Dust,” no player had ever reached a full score; the highest ever was only 8.
After all, the level cap had only been raised to 60, the ga hadn’t even entered its late stages yet.
And indeed, Special Attribute Points are very rare. Lu Xun’s quick acquisition of three points took so cunning tricks.
At this ti, Lin Chan had finished cleaning up the bowl and chopsticks. Lu Xun didn’t tell her to leave, and she didn’t dare to leave on her own, waiting for Lu Xun’s instructions.
She was really too thin. Now, she was standing there, head down, her little
hands clutching the corners of her clothes. It looked quite pitiful.
He had invited her for a al, yet it had ended up looking like he was bullying her. Lu Xun found this both funny and a little depressing.
He sat on the stone bench, his face showing rare seriousness, and said solemnly, “I see you have a good destiny for cultivation. I’d like to take you as my disciple. Would you be willing?”
Yes, he had decided to take Lin Chan as his pupil.
This wasn’t about making her a Sword Servant Girl, but about accepting her as a direct disciple.
A Natural Sword Embryo, oh, a Natural Sword Embryo. Not accepting her would be a fool’s decision, wouldn’t it?
This would greatly help him in building his power.
As for in her previous life, after Lin Chan entered the inner gate of the Demon Sect, her master was… Shen Yan.
It seed she was brought up the mountain by one of Shen Yan’s disciples, and during the selection process, Little Mute chose Shen Yan. This finally gave Shen Yan’s lineage a disciple they could be proud of, and what a proud disciple she was!
To nurture Lin Chan, Shen Yan, as a tightfisted man, had to change his character and beco more generous. But his ntoring skills remained poor, causing the other Peak Masters to lant that Shen Yan was hindering Lin Chan’s cultivation. They believed she would progress faster without him!
Regarding this, Lu Xun believed there was so truth to it. Just like how so people are knowledgeable but may not necessarily ntor similarly knowledgeable disciples.
Lu Xun’s abilities to ntor… were essentially zero.
But he thought he should be better than Shen Yan, who had the knack for creating problems for his disciples.
Moreover, his identity was special, his seniority extrely high, his True Disciple would be equivalent to being of the sa generation as Shen Yan and the other Peak Masters.
Shen Yan and the other Peak Masters wouldn’t point out things to each other’s disciples, but then Lin Chan would be their junior sister. It would be quite appropriate for a senior brother to teach a junior sister, wouldn’t it?
When the ti cos, he would only need to remind Lin Chan not to listen to Shen Yan at all costs.
Besides, he had his senior brothers and sisters from the back mountain helping him. He didn’t think accepting Lin Chan as his disciple would hamper her growth.
The main source of his confidence, of course, was that her original master was Shen Yan, and she grew up just fine.
If Shen Yan could do it, I, Lu Xun, could do it for sure!
“Shen Yan is the Sect Master of the Demon Sect, and the Demon Sect is thriving. He should be happy. As for whether he has any notable disciples… He must be used to it by now, right?” Lu Xun said to himself.
“When the chance arises, I’ll find a way to make it up to him. By doing this, I’m also doing it for the good of the Demon Sect, minimizing the detours for the future star of the Demon Sect,” Lu Xun quickly convinced himself, everything was for the future of the Demon Sect.
Alright, he was greedy for a Natural Sword Embryo.
But, imagine how cool it would be if both master and disciple were Natural Sword Embryos!
When recruiting players, he could advertise two Natural Sword Embryos in the sa sect. When players saw that both the master and senior sister had maxed out their Swordsmanship Aptitude, wouldn’t professional players be tempted?
This faction would clearly have a bright future, right?
By that ti, the professional players he didn’t favor could be handed over to
Shen Yan…
After all, players were all about gaining experience and leveling up. The “detour” Shen Yan could lead them on would be smaller, and this could be considered as a decent compensation!
It was a perfect decision, where no one got the short end of the stick!
The main thing now was to see what Lin Chan would do, the girl was completely stupefied.
She had grown up without parents, was frail and sickly, and mute. You can imagine how dreadful her growing environnt was.
So people were born to be flowers, while she didn’t even seem to rank as a weed.
Now, hearing that she has potential for cultivation and the great figure before her seemingly wants to take her as his disciple, how could Lin Chan not be astounded?
Everything happened so fast, it felt like her life had suddenly changed.
The child born in the mud pit was suddenly being noticed by a person of cultivation from the heavens.
He extended his hand to her, but her little hand was too dirty, filthy. So filthy that she dared not grip the large hand directly, even if it was ant to pull her out of the mud pit.
Lu Xun looked at her, her head still bowed. He gave a small smile and said softly, “Your na is Lin Chan, right?”
He said her na directly, and no one questioned how he knew it. After all, anyone could find out by asking around in the restaurant. No one suspected that Lu Xun had an external cheat that allowed him to view basic information.
Lin Chan nodded slightly.
“You know, Ciccadas have to burrow in the ground for a long ti,” Lu Xun suddenly said.
At his words, Lin Chan lifted her head slightly to give him a glance. Seeing the mild look in his eyes, she quickly lowered her head again.
Without waiting for Lin Chan to respond, Lu Xun shalessly said, “You didn’t shake your head, so I’ll take that as an agreent.”
He continued to speak, “You’re my very first disciple. In the future, you will know about my status. For now, you can go. You’ll be responsible for delivering my als for the next few days. When the ti cos, I’ll take you back to the
Demon Sect.”
Lu Xun didn’t rush things, he wanted to give her so ti to adjust.
Lin Chan left in a daze, her mind still blown away. She felt like she was in a fog.
For so reason, Lu Xun’s words kept resounding in her mind — “You know, right? Cicadas have to burrow in the ground for a very long ti.”
Watching the small retreating figure of Lin Chan, Lu Xun couldn’t help but smile slightly and murmur,
“But eventually, cicadas will sing in the most brilliant sumr.”
