"... Therefore, the demon in the heart has not yet been born, but the thief in the heart has already been born. It is easy to break the thief in the mountain, but it is difficult to break the thief in the heart."

On the stage, Chen Jin spoke eloquently.

Yu Chengzhi on the opposite side stood with his hands hanging down, as if he was listening attentively.

At the beginning, all the Lower Court disciples in the audience looked at each other and felt that it was ridiculous. But as they listened, they gradually began to understand it, and if they gained anything, they seemed to have some enlightenment.

Some of the disciples simply sat on the floor, as if they were attending a class at the Sword Lecture Hall, in a serious and engaged state.

The whole scene seemed very strange.

Among the crowd, Huang Mengliang stood there with brilliant eyes.

He was concerned about the situation on Chen Jin's side, so he simply defeated his opponent and rushed over. Unexpectedly, he ran into this scene.

What was originally a flash of swords has turned into a live teaching. Anyone who sees it will be shocked and unexpected.

If you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

With the qualifications of Chen Jin, I can indeed go on stage to preach to my new disciples.

Not to mention him, Huang Mengliang himself is also qualified.

In normal times, Huang Mengliang has occasionally been invited to speak. Because he is kind to others, patient enough, and quite popular, he is very popular.

For a moment, he couldn't help but compare himself with what Chen Jin said.

In comparison, there is a gap and I feel inferior.

It's all because what Chen Jin talks about is profound and thought-provoking, and people can immediately produce positive feedback after listening to it.

This is teaching the real thing!

As the saying goes, "Ten thousand books are falsely transmitted, True Disciple is just one sentence", this is what it refers to.

Even Huang Mengliang, who was listening below, felt a sudden enlightenment when he heard the mystery.

No wonder so many people sat down and turned from spectators into listeners.

You must know that this situation is like a fortuitous opportunity chance for them.

It's still a rare thing.

On the other hand, Sword Lecture Hall's classes mostly follow the script and are not very innovative.

"Okay! Well said!"

When he heard "It's easy to break a mountain, it's hard to break a heart", Huang Mengliang couldn't help but clapped his hands.

The applause appropriately interrupted Chen Jin's narration. He glanced over and said with a smile, "That's it for today's talk. It's time for the sword showdown."

Everyone was hearing the wonderful thing, but they still didn't finish it. They stared at Huang Mengliang complainingly. If he hadn't screamed here, they would have heard more.

Huang Mengliang knew that he was in the wrong, and his expression was stern.

Then Yu Chengzhi hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Chen, for your guidance. I have benefited a lot. How can I dare to compete with Senior Brother in sword competition?"

Jumping off the stage means automatically admitting defeat.

Chen Jin surrendered without fighting. With a pale look on his face, he raised his hands and said, "Concession."

"Okay!"

At this time, everyone in the audience shouted loudly, their emotions were high, and they were all looking forward to Senior Brother Chen's next performance starting soon so that they could listen to the lecture again.

People's hearts tend to be profitable. They only know that listening to what Chen Jin said can help them understand and improve their swordsmanship. This is enough.

I should give my unconditional support to those seniors who are willing to teach me true skills.

"Buy people's hearts! He is trying to win people's hearts!"

As the seed players, Yan Hui and Liu Chen did not need to compete in the sword competition today, but chose to stay in the courtyard to cultivate.

Although I say I am a latent cultivator, I am actually very concerned about external trends, especially regarding Chen Jin.

Soon, the spy who had arranged to go came back to report the situation and started talking about it in detail.

After listening to it, Liu Chen couldn't hold it any longer and became emotional.

In fact, starting from the time when Chen Jin was drawn and Yu Chengzhi was drawn, there was not much suspense about the outcome of this sword fight. It mainly depends on how to win.

Yan and Liu certainly hope that Yu Chengzhi can perform exceptionally, and it is best to create some trouble for Chen Jin and not let him win too comfortably.

But I never expected that Chen Jin won the victory with just his sharp tongue without even moving his sword.

Not only did he easily win the game, but he also won the support of many Lower Court disciples.

The scene at the scene is simply what people want.

This is unacceptable to Yan Hui and Liu Chen.

After all, they spent a lot of effort to make Chen Jin "notorious" before, but now Chen Jin only used a unique sword fight to successfully change the reputation.

"Elder Sister Hui, I think this is all a deliberate conspiracy. This Senior Brother Chen is so scheming that we have to guard against it."

Liu Chen is very un-Qi Ingestion.

As a leader among the new generation of disciples, ever since he first emerged, he has always been compared with Chen Jin back then.

The result was slightly inferior.

Liu Chen did not agree with this result, so he thought that one day he would have a real competition with Chen Jin to see who was stronger and who was weaker.

Coupled with Yan Hui's fanning the flames, Liu Chen had already planted the seeds of resentment towards Chen Jin in his heart.

Yan Hui lowered his eyes and said with relief, "Younger Brother Chen, please be patient. He has only won one game now, and it was not based on his true ability, but purely opportunistic. Do you think someone like him can really go far?"

Liu Chen nodded, deeply convinced.

There are indeed many accidental factors that led to such a special sword duel. Chen Jin would say that it was only one-sided. If the opponent didn't listen, no matter how fancy the talk was, it would be of no use. He would have struck him with a sword.

It's just that he happened to meet a new and young disciple like Yu Chengzhi, so he was so easy to fool.

In the next game, the next opponent will definitely not be the same.

"Next game, Chen Jin has a bye?"

About half an hour later, the agents outside sent back the latest information.

At this moment, Liu Chen simply didn't know what to say. He felt a sense of frustration that he was furious and going crazy but had nowhere to vent.

It's so thick and so bastard.

He couldn't help but look at Yan Hui and found that she was equally angry.

However, the deal is already done and the outcome cannot be changed.

In the first three rounds of Sword Competition, due to the large number of people and varying levels of skill, there will be many unexpected situations, including injury and withdrawal, withdrawal from the battle, etc.

Once there is an odd number of people, someone may get a bye and get a big advantage out of thin air.

This has happened in the past as well.

But this time it fell on Chen Jin, which was hard for Yan Hui to accept.

They can only continue to wait.

After waiting, it was in the afternoon, and the third round of drawing ceremony began.

In the third round, Chen Jin did not and could not get another bye. He drew a fellow disciple named "Song Wushang".

"Okay!"

After hearing the news, Liu Chen clapped his hands and applauded. He knew Song Wushang and had dealt with him before. He knew that he was a proud and arrogant person and would never listen to Chen Jin's preaching on the stage.

What's more important is that Song Wushang's strength is not outstanding, and Fifth Realm's cultivation is also condensed into Sword Intent.

After encountering such a strong opponent and no longer being able to take advantage of others, what chance does Chen Jin have of winning?

Liu Chen decided to go out to watch the battle in person to see how Chen Jin would be completely defeated.
