There's Something Wrong With This Account

Above Lead Peak, a silence prevailed.

“Pointing out as far as it is necessary,” Lu Xun said softly as he gently tapped Ye Sui’an’s forehead.

In reality, had he not held back his Sword Qi just then, Ye Sui’an’s head would have already been pierced with a bloody hole.

Victory and defeat had been decided, it was just a matter of pointing it out.

Winning gracefully, it showed his demeanor as an elder.

Ye Sui’an touched his forehead, and even until now, he felt as if everything was just a dream.

That move he just used, might become his unforgettable nightmare in this life!

For the first time, he experienced the Grim Reaper’s closeness from someone of his own age, his life and death were just within the other’s thoughts!

Lu Xun looked at him and thought to himself, “Why did his face turn red after I touched his forehead?”

“What’s the matter? This scumbag is embarrassed now?” Lu Xun was confused.

In reality, it was because Ye Sui’an realized that from start to end, Lu Xun had not used his sword, his own self-esteem was injured since he couldn’t even force out a sword from the opponent.

“I admit defeat.” Ye Sui’an’s hair was disheveled, his hands fell weakly, and the Moon Emperor Sword in his hand almost touched the ground.

He looked as if he was broken.

This year was the closest year for One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain to victory, and as the only contemporary successor of Sword Mountain, victory slipped through his hands.

But he couldn’t afford to lose, neither could One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain.

If his skills were inferior, then they were inferior. They still had at least some backbone.

Lu Xun made a fist and said: “You are too kind.”

He was being modest.

Ye Sui’an also made a fist and said: “You are too kind.”

What he said was true, Lu Xun really had been going easy on him.

Victory and defeat had been decided. As Lu Xun was about to turn around, he was stopped by Ye Sui’an.

“Lu… Elder Lu.” He shouted out loud.

Lu Xun turned his head in confusion and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Ye Sui’an made a deep bow and said, “Thank you, Elder, for your guidance.”

Lu Xun gave a small laugh, assuming that Ye Sui’an said this to save some face for himself, after all, he was defeated by an “elder”. But when he looked into Ye Sui’an’s eyes, he found him to be quite sincere.

This scumbag was either a great actor, or he was genuinely grateful.

“Did he realize something during our confrontation just now?” Lu Xun wondered.

Indeed, it was good to have high aptitude, even without being a natural sword embryo, he could still have realizations occasionally.

But now… he had all these things!

“No need to be polite, I also gained some insights from our two rounds of questioning through the sword.” Lu Xun casually waved his hand, then silently received his mission reward.

As he won this questioning sword fight, he now could receive his mission reward.

The reward arrived instantly, and this time the reward was particularly generous!

And the most significant effect was that one point of Swordsmanship Aptitude.

By this point, Lu Xun’s Swordsmanship Aptitude had reached 4 points. His Sword Heart was forcibly elevated to a new realm, becoming increasingly clear, and his Sword Intent also solidified even more!

In the eyes of others, an inexplicable aura spread from Lu Xun’s body as soon as he finished speaking!

The Great Cultivators present could naturally tell at first sight that Lu Xun’s Sword Heart and Sword Intent had stepped up!

He actually broke through!

“Congratulations, Young Elder!” Shen Yan immediately took the lead, stirring up momentum for Lu Xun.

As soon as he finished speaking, the people of the Demon Sect present immediately spoke up.

“Congratulations, Young Elder!”

“Congratulations, Young Grandpa!”

The top disciples of One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain had already been shocked beyond words.

He’s already so strong, and yet he’s had another breakthrough!

No wonder he could cultivate to this extent in less than a year, he simply can’t be human!

With a warm smile on his face, Lu Xun was about to turn around once more, quietly going about his business as he had always done. He, however, was halted time and again by Ye Sui’an.

“Elder Lu!” Ye Sui’an hesitated as he attempted to speak.

“Can’t you just say it all at once? You’re so hesitant, like a shy young lady, you’re surely asking to be hit.” Lu Xun thought inwardly.

But his face was still full of smiles, he responded: “Please speak.”

“Elder, I have a bold request.” Ye Sui’an once again bowed deeply, asking sincerely: “Can I have a look at your sword?”

At these words, the curiosity of those who had come to inquire about the sword was immediately piqued, everyone but Ping Shanhai, who seemed lost in thought.

Although they had indeed lost this time, although everyone was in low spirits at the moment, this did not affect their curiosity.

This Lu Xun had always held the sword sheath in his hand and never took out his sword. As a Sword Cultivator, winning without a sword was indeed an astounding thing.

Lu Xun looked at Ye Sui’an and decided against lying. His identity as a Non-Swordbearer will eventually be known to the world; there’s no need to hide it.

But, surely I can’t tell you that my sword is hidden within my Sword Heart, can I?

So, he said: “You’ve already seen it.”

Having said that, he turned around and walked towards Mao Nanbei and the others.

Leaving Ye Sui’an standing in place, muttering to himself: “I’ve already seen it… I’ve already seen it…”

A good and sound Innate Sword Body, is likely to be baffled for a while.

Lu Xun quickly returned to the others in the back mountain.

“Good job, Little Junior Brother!” Mao Nanbei praised.

Even Zhuge Lai Fu chuckled, “You won beautifully.”

Lu Xun took a deep breath. Only he knew that if it weren’t for his transmigrating, Demon Sect would have surely lost this year.

As for Lin Chan, the way she looked at Lu Xun was full of reverence.

“Master is truly amazing!” Lin Chan thought to herself.

Now that they had won, they did not stay on Lead Peak any longer but flew back towards the back mountain on paper cranes.

On the way back, Lu Xun out of nowhere suddenly asked Lin Chan, “Cough, Little Chan, what do you think of that Ye Sui’an?”

Lin Chan was taken aback, her clear and clean eyes full of doubt. She didn’t really have a deep impression of Ye Sui’an.

Still, she grabbed Lu Xun’s big hand and scribbled in his palm:

“Inferior to Master.”

Perhaps because his palm was a bit ticklish, Lu Xun laughed. He laughed heartily and unrestrainedly.

After laughing, he rubbed Lin Chan’s little head with his big hand and thought to himself, “No one is going to lay a finger on my little cabbage!”

Meanwhile, Shen Yan and the others who had stayed on Lead Peak moved forward, beginning the usual formalities.

It couldn’t be helped; this procedure had to be followed. Winners also had to show the magnanimity of victors. Besides… they haven’t given us the stakes of this bet yet!

Although they were both happy and worried, the two sides still made some perfunctory small talk first, and then, elders from One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain each took out a storage ring and handed them to Shen Yan.

The face of Shen Yan immediately lit up with even more joy.

Getting rich every three years was wonderful! Oh, how wonderful it was!

Ping Shanhai, who stood to one side, suddenly spoke up: “Sect Master Shen, there’s something I need to ask.”

“Do tell.” Shen Yan, who was currently in a great mood, joyfully invited.

With Divine Sword in hand, Ping Shanhai solemnly asked, “The new disciple that the Elder took in, is he…

an Innate Sword Body?”
