Chapter 84

Lu Xuan instantly slew three people, but his yuan force was also greatly depleted. Without sufficient yuan force to support him, the power of his sword techniques finally reached its limit.

The fourth sword strike was unable to continue killing the enemies and was barely blocked, failing to achieve any results. The power of the fifth and sixth sword strikes gradually decreased.

Even so, Lu Xuan's sudden burst of power was enough to shock the entire scene.

Now, Lu Xuan's score has already broken through ten thousand, reaching over eleven thousand points. The second-place contestant, Zheng Gang, has only a little over three thousand points. The gap between them is like the difference between heaven and earth.

At this moment, Zheng Gang's face was ashen. The blow from Lu Xuan was too great. He had been so arrogant as to challenge all the talented disciples of the Sword Sect in public, but now that Lu Xuan's score was revealed, his face was swollen with shame.

All words were powerless in the face of the ironclad facts. If Lu Xuan had only slightly surpassed him, perhaps he could have found some excuses and reasons to evade. However, unfortunately, Lu Xuan did not just surpass him; he completely crushed him!

At this moment, in the Sword Forest, there were only three enemies left in front of Lu Xuan. In terms of threat, they were far less than the previous seven-person team. However, unfortunately, Lu Xuan's yuan force was already exhausted. Without the support of yuan force, even three mere Seventh Stage Body Tempering warriors were not something he could handle.

Seeing these three people attack again, Lu Xuan decisively crushed the teleportation jade token, ending this test.

A beam of white light appeared before the Sword Forest. Only Lu Xuan was left in the Sword Forest. The one who was teleported out was naturally Lu Xuan. Seeing this light, all the disciples present heaved a sigh of relief. Was it finally over?

Lu Xuan's performance just now was too outstanding. They were really worried that Lu Xuan might continue to fight until he reached the Eighth Stage Body Tempering. That would have been too shocking. However, fortunately, he finally came out.

As the light dissipated, Lu Xuan's figure appeared before everyone's eyes. Seeing that Lu Xuan's clothes were clean and undamaged, everyone couldn't help but nod slightly. Achieving such a high score and still remaining unscathed, it was evident that Lu Xuan's strength might be even stronger than they imagined.

The reason for choosing to give up might be to avoid the cost of injury. If it were a real battle, Lu Xuan, regardless of everything, would be even more terrifying.

Coming out of the Sword Forest, Lu Xuan couldn't help but take a deep breath. This test was extremely rewarding for him. Besides the score, he finally successfully comprehended the Sword Intent, which greatly enhanced his combat power.

His gaze swept over the faces of the people present. Lu Xuan saw nothing but envious expressions. His score was so outstanding that it was beyond the reach of the other disciples, making it impossible for them to feel jealous.

When your score is only slightly higher than others, they will be jealous of you. But when your score is far beyond others, they will not be jealous; they will only admire you.

"Good! Lu Xuan, right? Indeed, you are a world-class genius!" A deep voice sounded, and it was the deputy sect master, Elder Jin, of the Wind Sword Sect.

At this moment, his face was filled with a smile, and he looked at Lu Xuan with a very approving gaze. Lu Xuan's ability to successfully enter the overall ranking was already enough to make him look at him with new eyes. He didn't expect that Lu Xuan would actually make a concerted effort and rush to the top three hundred. This kind of combat talent can be described as monstrous. Moreover, Lu Xuan reached the Fifth Stage Body Tempering at the age of sixteen, indicating that his cultivation talent was also not bad.

"I didn't expect that among this year's disciples, there would be a genius like you. This time, you successfully entered the top three hundred of the overall ranking. I promise to reward you, and I will not go back on my word. After the test ends, the reward will be given along with the reward for being the top new disciple."

Elder Jin's words already placed Lu Xuan as the top new disciple. Although the test wasn't over yet, no one raised any objections. It was a joke; even Zheng Gang's score was out of reach for them, and Lu Xuan's score was several times that of Zheng Gang. To surpass Lu Xuan was simply a dream.

Hearing Elder Jin's words, Lu Xuan turned to look at the two ranking stone tablets. Indeed, on the new disciple ranking tablet, he was at the top, and on the overall ranking tablet, his name was clearly in the 298th position.

Lu Xuan couldn't help but show a hint of joy in his eyes, not expecting to achieve such a good score.

Previously, while fighting in the Sword Forest, although he knew how many points he had, he didn't know exactly how high he would rank. He could only be sure that he would definitely be the top new disciple, but he didn't expect to actually break into the top three hundred of the overall ranking.

The number of inner sect disciples in the Wind Sword Sect was enormous. Just the number of new disciples in this year was nearly six hundred, and the total number of disciples from all previous years was in the thousands. Now, Lu Xuan's strength was among the top three hundred of these thousands of people!

Moreover, Lu Xuan had not yet enjoyed the resources of the Wind Sword Sect, while the disciples on the overall ranking had been cultivating in the Wind Sword Sect for at least a year. They were not on the same starting line.

Just the Sword Forest of the Wind Sword Sect alone allowed Lu Xuan to successfully comprehend the Sword Intent. This was the difference between having a sect and not having one. If Lu Xuan could enjoy more resources, his strength would certainly improve even more.

More importantly, Lu Xuan remembered that Elder Jin had promised that if someone could enter the top five hundred of the overall ranking, they would be rewarded with two thousand contribution points. If they could enter the top three hundred, they would receive an additional five thousand contribution points.

It should be noted that even achieving the top new disciple would only reward two thousand contribution points, while the reward for entering the top three hundred was more than twice that. The difficulty was evident.

Although Lu Xuan did not yet know the value of these contribution points, he believed that since Elder Jin used them as a reward, their value must be significant. Otherwise, it would not do justice to Lu Xuan's outstanding performance.

With these thoughts, Lu Xuan bowed slightly to Elder Jin and said, "Thank you, Deputy Sect Master, for your reward. I will definitely work hard to cultivate and not let you down."

Seeing Lu Xuan's humility, Elder Jin's smile grew even wider. He stroked his beard and nodded slightly. Although both were geniuses, Lu Xuan's talent far surpassed Zheng Gang, and his demeanor was respectful and polite. On the other hand, Zheng Gang's strength was far inferior to Lu Xuan, but his arrogance and tyranny were off the charts. This contrast made Elder Jin naturally favor Lu Xuan more.

"Unfortunately, the sect entrance examination is now over. Otherwise, with your talent, I would certainly recommend you to become a core disciple. However, since the examination is over, you will have to stay as an inner sect disciple for another year. As long as you work hard, I will ensure that you become a core disciple next year!" Elder Jin seemed to want to make Lu Xuan's glory even greater. When he said this, all the disciples were in an uproar, and the envy and jealousy in their eyes were unrestrained.

PS: A new week, I need some recommendation votes! We have over five thousand followers, but we get less than a hundred recommendation votes a day. I'm really sad. If you have votes, don't hide them. Let's make the data for the Sword Spirit look a bit better... ^_^
