Chapter 703: The First Sword Trial, Siblings of the Jinyang Sect! (3)

“Damn it!”

Gu Yunyang’s face was unsightly, his golden hand continuously striking out in a violent bombardment, attempting to make a move on Lu Qingshan.

But a series of Sword Qi collided with him, leaving him helpless and extremely frustrated, as if venting his rage in a furious explosion.

From his Storage Bag, he produced a small golden-red seal, formed a Gesture Incantation with both hands, causing a light curtain to form around him, his momentum rising, as he continued to press forward against the Sword Qi towards Lu Qingshan.

“Take my sword.”

Lu Qingshan watched the scene, his expression calmly stating.

At that moment, his entire demeanor was formidable, bursting forth with an aura that seemed to tear the firmament apart, as the Magical Sword in his hand suddenly erupted with a fierce golden radiance.

At this moment, everyone could feel from Lu Qingshan a spirit of fearlessness, a Sword Dao that swallowed the stars, believing firmly that he could overcome anything.

Merely this momentum and vigorous spirit made countless people palpitate and surrender.

“This!”

On the high platform, several elders widened their eyes, suddenly standing up from their seats, their expressions shocked.

“Boom!”

The golden brilliance burst forth, transforming into a blazing sun-like sword wheel that charged towards Gu Yunyang.

This dazzling sword wheel, as if filled with a flow of colorful light, struck Gu Yunyang’s surrounding light curtain.

The top-grade light curtain formed by the Magic Artifact shattered instantly, like tofu.

Yet immediately, Gu Yunyang’s Golden Lustrous Body formed a layer of armor.

But even this armor shattered in an instant.

“No!”

His eyes filled with a horrified color, as if Lu Qingshan’s sword was about to strike him down directly.

But the next moment, he saw the sword light vanish, and he was unharmed, save for his armor growing dim.

“You’ve yielded.”

Lu Qingshan, clad in a gold and white Magical Robe, holding the Magical Sword, stood calmly and indifferently on the platform.

Silence!

Dead silence!

The entire arena was utterly quiet.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Lu Qingshan, whose vigor was buoyant, his Sword Qi stern, his posture erect.

No one had anticipated that in this final duel, Lu Qingshan would win so effortlessly.

Although Gu Yunyang didn’t suffer as miserably as he had in many previous duels,

It was precisely his use of all means, yet ultimately unscathed defeat, that highlighted the astounding strength of Lu Qingshan.

Boom!

The next moment, the entire arena erupted in a frenzy.

“He’s incredibly strong!”

“How could it be, Brother Gu was defeated just like that…”

“Brother Gu had absolutely no chance to fight back against Lu Qingshan!”

“Is he really just an Energy Refining Cultivator?”

“Ah, Junior Brother Lu is so handsome, I really like him!”

“A young man as robust as Junior Brother Lu will surely like a woman with a broad heart like me!”

“That sword just now, I felt a force like thunder and lightning, could it be the legendary Sword Energy Thunder Sound!?”

“How is that possible, Sword Energy Thunder Sound is the third realm of Sword Dao, usually only Nascent Soul Immortals can comprehend it!”

The crowd around the arena voiced out, all with expressions of disbelief, exclaiming in astonishment.

“Good, good, good! I didn’t expect our Jinyang Sect to produce such a Sword Dao prodigy!”

“Indeed, with this child, our Jinyang Sect will surely claim victory in this Five Sects Competition!”

“Not only has he grasped Sword Qi Like a Rainbow, Sword Energy Formation, but he seems to have also touched a bit of Sword Energy Thunder Sound, tsk tsk tsk, this kid is a natural-born Sword Dao genius!”

On the high platform, the Jinyang Sect Leader and the elders all wore gratified smiles.

It can be said that as long as this child does not die young, not to mention definitely achieving Core Formation,

But at the very least, Jinyang Sect will have a top-tier Sword Cultivator unmatched in his realm!

“Sect Leader Brother, Sister Tianyuan has been away from the Sect for a long time, such a genius might as well join my Jinyun Peak.”

“I’ll take him as a disciple, guide his cultivation, and he definitely won’t waste his talent.”

At this moment, an authoritative-looking elder beside him looked towards the Jinyang Sect Leader and spoke up.

“Brother Jinyun, Gu Yunyang is already your disciple, do you still want to take Lu Qingshan as your disciple?”

“Sect Leader Brother, although I’m not solely focused on Sword Dao, I also studied it extensively in my early years, why not let Lu Qingshan come to my Qiuyang Peak, and I can provide some guidance occasionally.”

Another elder immediately voiced upon hearing this.

A disciple like Lu Qingshan was destined to rise and shine brilliantly in the future.

Even if he couldn’t be taken as a disciple, they were willing to have a period of mentor-disciple affection and karma.

“This child is Sister Tianyuan’s disciple, her direct disciple at that, such actions are not in accordance with the Sect’s rules and etiquette.”

“However, when Sister Tianyuan returns, I will have a good talk with her.”

The Jinyang Sect Leader raised his hand and spoke.

In this moment, even he believed that Tianyuan True Immortal, as Lu Qingshan’s master, was somewhat hindering the disciple.

After all, they all knew that Tianyuan True Immortal often went out seeking opportunities, only occasionally returning to the Sect.

Under such circumstances, it was entirely unfavorable for the cultivation of Lu Qingshan.

“Lu Qingshan wins!”

At that moment, the elder referee announced the result of the duel.

Even he, at this very moment, looked at Lu Qingshan with an extraordinary expression.

“Damn it…”

Gu Yunyang, watching Lu Qingshan who was sheathing his sword and about to step down from the arena, shouted loudly, “Lu Qingshan, wait until I break through to Foundation Establishment, and I shall fight you again, and I certainly won’t lose to you!”

Several elders from the Jinyang Sect, upon seeing this, nodded slightly.

Gu Yunyang was also a top-tier talent of the Jinyang Sect.

Naturally, they did not want him to lose his fighting spirit because of a single duel.

“Enemies defeated by me are never regarded as my equals. I give you time to catch up until you can’t even see me.”

Lu Qingshan paused in his steps and spoke calmly.

“Hisss!”

Everyone was shocked.

No one expected Lu Qingshan to be so arrogant!

No, this was confidence!

Absolute confidence in himself, an invincibility!

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that he could achieve such accomplishments in the Sword Dao!

At this moment, he fully exemplified the pride and backbone of a Sword Cultivator!

“He’s too strong, who knows how amazing he will be once he breaks through to Foundation Establishment!”

“With Lu Qingshan here, in the Five Sects’ sword trial three years later, probably no one will be his match!”

Many disciples from the Jinyang Sect exclaimed.

“Man, this feels really good.”

Lu Qingshan stepped down from the arena, came over to the spectator stands, and seeing the way people looked at him, his mouth curved slightly upwards.

“Lu Qingshan, congratulations on winning this sword trial. You may choose three rewards.”

At this moment, the Jinyang Sect Leader stepped forward, and with a gesture, a large scroll listing the rankings and rewards appeared.

“Foundation Establishment Elixir, Tianxin Sound Bamboo Sword, Rainbow Feather Garment.”

Lu Qingshan immediately named the three rewards he had set his sights on.

“Hmm?”

The Jinyang Sect Leader frowned slightly upon hearing this.

He could understand the choice of the Tianxin Sound Bamboo Sword, but the Foundation Establishment Elixir and the Rainbow Feather Garment puzzled him.

“Lu Qingshan, you have now won the first place in the sword trial, and as long as you complete the assessment trial, you can be promoted to a True Disciple, at which point you can directly apply for the Foundation Establishment Elixir. Additionally, the Rainbow Feather Garment is a spiritual garment for women, and it does not suit you,” said the Jinyang Sect Leader.

For an ordinary disciple, he wouldn’t have mentioned it.

But Lu Qingshan’s case made him feel compelled to give some advice.

“Sect Leader, I understand.”

Lu Qingshan responded respectfully.

“Good, remember, the sect’s Foundation Establishment Elixirs cannot be leaked outside, at most be traded with inner disciples.”

Seeing this, the Jinyang Sect Leader said no more and handed over all three rewards to Lu Qingshan with a wave of his hand.

“Thank you, Sect Leader!”

Lu Qingshan accepted the gifts and bowed in thanks.

Then, he quickly went to the Tianyuan Peak spectator seats, looked at his sister Lu Qingzhu, whose face was full of excitement, and proudly smiled, “How about it, Little Zhu, isn’t your brother amazing?”

“Awesome, really awesome! Bro, you’re the best!”

Lu Qingzhu nodded repeatedly, her eyes filled with admiration.

Although she had participated in the sword trial, she hadn’t even made it past the top hundred and was eliminated early.

Now, seeing her brother winning first place, she was naturally filled with admiration.

“Hehe, here, Little Zhu, this is a gift your brother got for you.”

Lu Qingshan handed over the Foundation Establishment Elixir and Rainbow Feather Garment, belonging to the three awards, to his sister.

Having the Seed of Law, he believed breaking through Foundation Establishment didn’t require the help of a Foundation Establishment Elixir.

Naturally, this Foundation Establishment Elixir was prepared for his sister Lu Qingzhu.

Moreover, in his view, since his sister Lu Qingzhu lacked in talent, a single Foundation Establishment Elixir might not ensure her breakthrough in Foundation Establishment.

When he was promoted to a True Disciple later, the Foundation Establishment Elixirs he applied for could still be used by Lu Qingzhu.

“Brother.”

Lu Qingzhu looked at the two rewards, her beautiful eyes brimming with emotion.

“Hehe, what are we being so formal for, Little Zhu, come on, let’s go home.”

Lu Qingshan said with a casual and indulgent smile, affectionately ruffled her hair, and led Lu Qingzhu back towards Tianyuan Peak.

The Jinyang Sect Leader and several elders saw this scene and nodded slightly.

They had heard that Tianyuan Peak had taken in two disciples years ago who were siblings.

The sister, compared to Lu Qingshan, was quite ordinary, nothing spectacular, and lacked brilliance.
