Chapter 1 The Beginning

Shumen Holy City Martial Arts Arena.

Countless young people gathered here.

On the martial arts arena.

Shumen Holy Son, Xu Jian, slowly spoke.

"That day, I discussed the Dao of the sword with the Great Luo senior brother, Lu Changsheng."

"Originally, I always thought my swordsmanship was invincible, and considered myself the best of the younger generation. However, after encountering Lu Changsheng, I knew I was wrong."

"That day, I unleashed my peerless sword technique, the Carefree Divine Sword Art, but I never expected that Senior Brother Lu would lightly draw a wooden sword and directly suppress my swordsmanship."

Xu Jian spoke, coupled with a sorrowful tone, which immediately stunned countless people.

A wooden sword?

Directly suppressed?

Everyone was stunned. No one could have imagined that the Shumen Holy Son, holding the Taiyi Azure Light Sword, would unleash a peerless sword technique, only to be suppressed by Lu Changsheng with a wooden sword.

How strong would that be?

"Holy Son, is this true? A wooden sword can suppress a peerless Dao artifact?"

Someone couldn't help but ask, somewhat disbelieving.

However, Shumen Holy Son Xu Jian nodded and said, "Actually, when I lost, I didn't believe it either, but the result was indeed that I lost, and I lost miserably."

"After I lost, I asked Senior Brother Lu, just like you, why a wooden sword could defeat me."

"But do you know what Senior Brother Lu said to me?"

Everyone was curious.

Lu Changsheng was also curious.

What did he say?

Xu Jian turned his back to the crowd, stood with his hands behind his back, and then slowly said.

"Senior Brother Lu said that there is no strong sword in this world, only strong people. A true master of the sword Dao, let alone a wooden sword, even a blade of grass can defeat all the heroes under heaven."

Xu Jian spoke, these words were simply electrifying.

It also shocked countless cultivators.

There is no strongest sword!

A true expert, let alone a wooden sword, even a blade of grass, can defeat all the heroes under heaven?

What kind of person could say such a thing?

Everyone was filled with curiosity and longing.

In the crowd.

Lu Changsheng was completely dumbfounded.

Here we go again.

Lu Changsheng really didn't know what to say.

He had never met Xu Jian.

Nor had he ever said such a thing.

Although he knew he should have a lot of fans, he didn't expect that the Shumen Holy Son was also his fan, and a die-hard fan at that.

However, at this moment, someone spoke.

"Holy Son, what kind of person is Senior Brother Lu, exactly?"

Someone asked this.

Xu Jian nodded, then glanced at the crowd below, and finally locked his eyes on Lu Changsheng.

Then, pointing at Lu Changsheng, he said, "Everyone, look at this person, with extraordinary grace and unparalleled handsomeness. Although he is a little bit inferior to me, he is almost there. But Lu Changsheng, Senior Brother Lu is a hundred times more handsome than him!"

Xu Jian said this.

Staring at the real Lu Changsheng, he said decisively.

In an instant, everyone's eyes gathered on Lu Changsheng.

For a moment, everyone seemed to be lost in thought.

Feeling the gazes of everyone, Lu Changsheng was calm. He was already used to this feeling of being the center of attention.

In the beginning, it was indeed a little uncomfortable, but after a few more times, he gradually got used to it.

However, Lu Changsheng suppressed all kinds of his own unusual phenomena, so he looked like he had no other characteristics other than being handsome.

"He's a hundred times more handsome than this person? What kind of existence is that?"

"Unimaginable. I'm already moved by this handsome man in front of me. If he were a hundred times more handsome, heavens, I'm getting wet."

"Isn't this my chosen one?"

"Heavens, I didn't even notice that there was such a handsome young man sitting here."

"It seems I've found my ideal person."

"Young master, may I ask if you are betrothed?"

In an instant, with the Shumen Holy Son's analogy, many people couldn't help but look at Lu Changsheng. The biggest reaction came from some female cultivators, each with amorous looks in their eyes. Some of the bolder female cultivators even directly asked Lu Changsheng if he was betrothed.

The popularity reached a climax.

Which made Xu Jian stunned.

That's not right, how did your focus suddenly shift? I am the Shumen Holy Son!

Although this person is handsome, he's a little bit inferior to me. Do you have any taste?

Xu Jian was a little depressed, but after taking another look at Lu Changsheng.

Uh, he really is extraordinarily handsome.

Chen Yinrou stood beside Lu Changsheng and slowly said, "This is the Shumen Holy Son's Sword Discussion Conference. I hope everyone will be calm and refrain from impatience."

Chen Yinrou's voice rang out.

Instantly, the scene did become much quieter.

On the martial arts arena, Xu Jian couldn't help but feel happy. Fortunately, he had his fans, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to control the scene.

"In short, Lu Changsheng, Senior Brother Lu, is the most extraordinary person Xu has ever met in his life. I only met him once, and we immediately hit it off. In a few days, Senior Brother Lu may come to the Holy Land. If there is a chance, you may meet this legendary figure."

Xu Jian spoke, then his expression became very serious and said.

"Everyone, the Shumen Holy Land's disciple recruitment ceremony is about to be held. I hope you will abide by the rules of the Holy City! Don't cause any trouble."

The Shumen Holy Son spoke, and after saying this, he was surrounded by a hundred sword qis, and then directly disappeared.

The conference ended, and everyone left one after another, but many female cultivators were still standing here, staring at Lu Changsheng.

However, with Chen Yinrou present, many female cultivators wanted to step forward to talk, but in the end, they sighed and left this place.

"If I could see this Senior Brother Lu, I would have no regrets in this life."

Li Lingyun said, couldn't help but sigh, his eyes filled with longing.

"Yes, yes!"

"Senior Lu, that Lu Changsheng has the same surname as you, Lu. Do you know him?"

Zhou Xiaoyan asked curiously.

"I don't know him!"

Lu Changsheng shook his head and answered directly.

At the same time.

Shumen Holy Land.

Xu Jian stepped on a flying sword and flew towards the Holy Land.

His thoughts gradually drifted away.

In fact, he didn't know Lu Changsheng at all.

Even to say, he had never even met Lu Changsheng.

But the reason why he boasted about Lu Changsheng so much was not because he had received money.

The main reason was that he was annoyed by those challengers.

Saying that he was a sword Dao genius that was rare to find in a thousand years, with superb swordsmanship and overwhelming all enemies of the same age.

Originally, this slightly boastful comment would have been normal. After all, if the Shumen Holy Son was not strong in the sword Dao, then who would be?

But the problem was that as his reputation grew, so did the troubles.

Every now and then, someone would run to the Shumen Holy Land and shout, "I, so-and-so, have come to ask the Shumen Holy Son to teach me the sword technique."

At first, Xu Jian didn't think there was any problem.

But as time went on.

After fighting this one, he fought that one.

After fighting that one, he fought this one.

He didn't have any time to cultivate at all.

Sword Dao cultivation emphasizes being single-minded.

If people challenged him every day, how could he be single-minded?

But the problem was that the people who came to challenge him were either disciples of aristocratic families or personal disciples of some sword Dao predecessors.

If you didn't accept the challenge, people would say you were arrogant.

If you challenged them, you would also be annoyed.

So Xu Jian took this stopgap measure.

Of course, this was not a bad strategy.

Xu Jian had also heard of Lu Changsheng's rumors.

Even if there was exaggeration, he must be very strong.

So there was no deception or not.

If he was exposed, it wouldn't matter. He could just apologize to Lu Changsheng then.

But at this moment, for some reason, the handsome young man he saw today involuntarily appeared in Xu Jian's mind.
