Killing Long Tai with one strike, Lu Xuan's murderous intent gradually faded from his eyes, and his bloodshot pupils returned to normal. Looking at Long Tai, who lay on the ground and would never wake up again, a sense of satisfaction flashed through his mind. If they wanted to harm his family, he would repay them tenfold!
At this moment, hearing Elder Sun's reprimand, Lu Xuan slowly turned his head, his expression extremely calm. During the third round of the assessment, his score had been forcibly negated by Elder Sun. Lu Xuan had no good feelings towards Elder Sun, let alone the fact that he had just tried to disrupt the life-and-death battle.
A hint of mockery flashed in the corner of his eye, and Lu Xuan said indifferently, "Just now, Long Tai and I agreed that the stakes of this battle would be our lives. There are hundreds of people here who can bear witness. Since I won, I naturally took his life. Is there something wrong with that?"
Elder Sun laughed in anger, "Very well, very well, I haven't seen anyone as arrogant as you in a long time, daring to ignore my warning!"
"Then you've seen one today," Lu Xuan replied, his eyes locked on Elder Sun, not backing down.
Faced with Lu Xuan's defiance, a fierce aura suddenly burst forth from Elder Sun, an aura that was far beyond what someone in the Body Tempering stage could emit.
Lu Xuan felt a powerful pressure surge towards him, as if all the elemental energy around him was being controlled by Elder Sun. The endless elemental energy compressed him, making it hard to breathe and involuntarily wanting to kneel.
But Lu Xuan had no intention of submitting. He gritted his teeth and held firm, the Taiyi Return to Origin Technique running wildly to help him withstand the pressure. Even so, his bones still creaked, on the verge of breaking.
At this moment, Lu Xuan suddenly felt the pressure around him lessen. He let out a sigh of relief, and Uncle Jiu's voice came through.
"Sun, if you want, I can fight you."
Uncle Jiu's voice was not loud, very calm, with no hint of arrogance, but these words made a deep fear appear in Elder Sun's eyes. He knew that at this moment, Yan Jiu was the most dangerous. If they disagreed, a thunderous strike could come at any time.
Slowly walking in front of Lu Xuan, Uncle Jiu also emitted a powerful aura, but this aura was directed at Elder Sun. It not only blocked Elder Sun's pressure on Lu Xuan but also suppressed Elder Sun.
"Yan Jiu, it seems you are determined to protect this Lu Xuan?" Elder Sun said in a deep voice, his expression very ugly.
"Not just Yan Jiu, I am also determined to protect him!" Another voice came, and Lu Xuan turned to see Elder Xu.
Exchanging a glance with Lu Xuan, Elder Xu nodded lightly, giving him a friendly smile, and then walked over to stand beside Uncle Jiu.
Since the second round of the mental assessment, Elder Xu had been very optimistic about Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan's subsequent performance far exceeded his expectations, and the word "surprised" was not enough to describe it; it was simply astonishing!
The insight and combat ability Lu Xuan displayed were truly monstrous. As a swordsman, Elder Xu could almost imagine Lu Xuan's future—he would undoubtedly be an astonishing sword genius!
He had come this time with the intention of discovering talent. Seeing such an excellent seed in Lu Xuan, how could he bear to let him go? If Elder Sun wanted to make things difficult for Lu Xuan, he would be the first to disagree!
"Elder Sun, as the chief examiner of this assessment, you are being too biased and overreaching. When we return to the Wind Sword Sect, I will definitely report your actions to the Sect Master!" Elder Xu said, his gaze piercing Elder Sun.
Seeing Uncle Jiu and Elder Xu stand on the same side, Elder Sun's emotions fluctuated. He looked deeply at Uncle Jiu and Elder Xu, then slowly exhaled, "Very well, you two, very well!"
He then snorted coldly, flicked his sleeve, and prepared to deal with Long Tai's body.
"Wait!" Lu Xuan suddenly spoke up.
"Do you have something else?" Elder Sun asked, barely suppressing his anger. Being forced to back down in front of everyone by Uncle Jiu and Elder Xu, he was almost at the breaking point.
Lu Xuan paid no attention to Elder Sun's tone and walked straight to Long Tai's body, picking up the Cloud Piercing Claws, "My spoils of war, I naturally need to take them."
"Ridiculous! Put them down!" Elder Sun couldn't help but roar in anger.
"Lu Xuan, take your spoils of war. I want to see who is being ridiculous!" A flash of light appeared in Uncle Jiu's hand, and a pair of claw-shaped weapons appeared. They were also claw weapons, but the ones in Uncle Jiu's hand emitted a flowing light, looking very exquisite, almost like works of art, unlike the Cloud Piercing Claws in Lu Xuan's hand, which were rather unremarkable.
The weapons in Uncle Jiu's hand were naturally the treasure-level Shadow Claws!
"Haha, very good! Yan Jiu, Xu Da, today I, Sun, admit defeat. The green mountains remain, and the clear waters flow. I hope one day... you won't fall to me!" A trace of venom appeared in Elder Sun's eyes as he picked up Long Tai's body and prepared to leave.
"Hold it," Uncle Jiu said calmly.
Elder Sun paused, not turning around, "What is it?"
"Leave your bet."
Hearing this, Elder Sun was shaken. This time, he had lost both his wife and his soldiers. Although he was extremely unwilling, the situation was stronger than him. He snorted coldly, and two streaks of light flew over.
Uncle Jiu extended his hand and caught the two streaks of light. Opening his palm, he saw a ring and a jade box. Opening the jade box, a round pill emitted a rich medicinal fragrance, clearly the Huntu Pill.
Leaving the two items behind, Elder Sun did not stay any longer. He hugged Long Tai's body, pushed off with his feet, and soared into the air, flying away.
Uncle Jiu and Elder Xu naturally ignored this, but the other martial artists were stunned. To be able to fly with just their bodies, what realm must they be at?
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but look at Uncle Jiu and Elder Xu in the arena. To force Elder Sun to leave, Uncle Jiu and Elder Xu's strength must not be inferior to Elder Sun's.
A hint of surprise also flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes. Flying in the air? One day, I will be able to do it too!
With Elder Sun's departure, the assessment came to a complete end.
Uncle Jiu turned around and handed the storage ring and the Huntu Pill to Lu Xuan, saying, "Lu Xuan, the bet with Elder Sun was accepted by Chenxi. The bet was also made for you. You have great talent and a bright future. Don't辜负her good intentions."
Hearing Uncle Jiu's words, Lu Xuan was stunned. The bet was accepted by Xia Chenxi? The bet was made specifically for him? But previously, Xia Chenxi had told him that it was all Uncle Jiu's doing. Thinking about it, Uncle Jiu had no reason to lie to him, so it must have been Xia Chenxi who deliberately kept it a secret.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but turn to look at Xia Chenxi, only to find that she was also looking at him. Their eyes met, and Xia Chenxi looked flustered, her face turning red as she quickly turned away.
Lu Xuan also felt a headache. Lin Xinyi had given him a mid-grade iron weapon to help him win, and now Xia Chenxi had specially sought out a storage ring and a top-grade pill for him...
The hardest thing to repay is the kindness of a beautiful woman!
