It's him!
As Zhang Yu was blasted away by One Sword strike, Yan Tinghe, standing below the arena, suddenly became agitated.
"It really is him!"
When Lin Xuan used that One Sword strike, she recognized it immediately; the Swordsmanship was all too familiar.
One Sword!
This Lin Xuan from the Supreme Institute is definitely the One Sword who defeated him in the Divine Soul Tower!
"What did you say?"
Beside her, Xiang Yuanzhou frowned slightly, looking at the excited Yan Tinghe, then at Lin Xuan on the arena, his face full of confusion.
"What do you mean, it really is him?"
"When did you become acquainted with the people of the Supreme Institute?"
Hearing Xiang Yuanzhou's words, Yan Tinghe gradually calmed down, but when she looked at Xiang Yuanzhou beside her, a smile suddenly appeared on her lips, and she slowly spoke.
"Yes, I've seen him before. Not only have I seen him, but you also asked me about him, didn't you?"
"You've always wanted to challenge the One Sword who defeated me, to prove it to me, right? Go ahead, you can go up on stage now, that's the One Sword you're looking for."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuanzhou was taken aback.
Then, he looked up at Lin Xuan on the stage, then at Yan Tinghe, his face flushed, and he stammered, "Are you kidding me?"
Yan Tinghe casually shrugged.
"I'm not joking. He used One Sword Swordsmanship of this kind. If I couldn't recognize it, I'd be blind. He defeated me in the Divine Soul Tower with the same One Sword strike!"
However, she is much better than Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu was sent flying by the One Sword, spitting out blood. His face was disheveled and shocked, as if he couldn't believe he had been treated this way.
Xiang Yuanzhou was speechless. He tried to find even a hint of a joke on Yan Tinghe's face, but...
As an old friend and rival of Yan Tinghe for so many years, he couldn't find a single thing wrong on Yan Tinghe's face.
In the end, Xiang Yuanzhou's lips moved, but he didn't say a word.
Stop joking...
Neither Zhang Yu nor Lin Xuan are monsters he can defeat!
Even Zhang Yu was no match for him; that was someone who could defeat Shentu Feng, let alone Lin Xuan, who could defeat Zhang Yu with One Sword strike.
Yan Tinghe's words were an insult to him... but he couldn't say anything, after all, he had made that boast before.
Xiang Yuanzhou looked utterly frustrated, and Zhang Yu shared a similar sentiment.
Zhang Yu was not only frustrated, but his heart was filled with extreme astonishment. His expression was one of utter disorientation as he stared blankly at the table.
That place was clearly only inches away from him, yet he was blasted off, and he lost just like that!
Moreover, he was defeated with One Sword strike!
"How could this be... how could Senior Brother do this..."
Not to mention Zhang Yu, even the woman who followed Zhang Yu to the Primordial Holy Heaven, who was also his junior sister, was completely dazed and incredulous, unable to believe what she was seeing.
Almost everyone was looking at Lin Xuan, who stood on the arena, holding a sword in one hand, staring blankly at Zhang Yu, who was in a daze below the stage, and let out a cold sneer.
"Waste?"
"Then what are you, someone who can't even beat trash?"
In short, this completely refuted Zhang Yu's previous words, shattering his previous arrogance.
Below the arena, Zhang Yu was still standing there, completely absorbed in the battle, but Lin Xuan no longer bothered to even glance at him.
He's just a disciple taught by someone who was expelled from the Primordial Holy Heaven; what's there to care about?
In his eyes, the other party was no different from the other students of the Primordial Holy Heaven.
Lin Xuan did not treat Zhang Yu differently because of his special status.
He turned his head directly to look at the audience and spoke calmly.
"Does anyone else want to challenge me?"
One sentence silenced everyone.
The members of the Moon Eve Alliance were completely bewildered, and the vice leader even nudged Chang Ling'er with a complicated expression.
"Your junior brother is so capable, why didn't you tell me beforehand?"
She wanted to inform him in advance so she could arrange his/her position within the alliance!
This is great! Lin Xuan has begun to stand out in the academy competition... No, this can't be called just standing out; he's clearly the only one who shines. Wherever he is, everyone else pales in comparison!
She could even imagine how many people would want to recruit Lin Xuan after the competition ended!
However, the Moon Eve Alliance only treated Lin Xuan as an ordinary student, which was a huge loss for them. How could they retain him under such circumstances?
Chang Ling'er, who was being blamed, was also confused.
She was on the verge of tears, watching the others in the Moon Eve Alliance with knowing looks on their faces.
sky!
Little did she know that her junior brother Lin Xuan was such a monstrous talent!
If she had known, she would have been the first to cling to his coattails.
She suddenly remembered something: Lin Xuan had told her... the One Sword she spoke of was actually him...
At the time, Chang Ling'er didn't believe it at all, taking it as a joke.
But now it seems... Junior Brother might not have been lying. That One Sword... most likely came from him!
At the time, she thought it was too outrageous and took Lin Xuan's words as a joke...
Chang Ling'er shook her head and smiled bitterly, sighing inwardly.
Master, oh Master, what kind of monster have you brought back?!
She remembered that when Sacred Master Yunzhao brought Lin Xuan into the Holy Heaven, he asked them to take good care of Lin Xuan. With such terrifying cultivation, who was actually taking care of whom?
Chang Ling'er could even foresee the expression on her master's face when he heard the news after emerging from seclusion.
Not to mention Cang Lie and Ye Xian, whose expressions had long since turned to shock, with a hint of regret.
They never imagined that Lin Xuan could be this strong.
In fact, none of the Ten Saints who came to participate in the academy competition this year could beat him!
As for the challenge Lin Xuan mentioned...
No one responded.
Are you kidding me!
Are they going up there to their deaths?
Seeing that no one responded, the elder in charge of the arena coughed a few times and slowly spoke.
" Lin Xuan, since no one is challenging you, you may leave."
"This time, I've decided that Lin Xuan will be first in the academy competition. Does anyone else have any objections?"
The audience remained completely silent; no one offered any opinion.
Lin Xuan's first place in this academy competition is well-deserved!
Since the elder had already told him to step down and confirmed the first place, Lin Xuan naturally wouldn't linger. He nodded casually, stepped down from the arena, and returned to his original position.
As soon as I stood still, I heard Duan Nianwei's congratulatory voice.
"Congratulations, Master, on winning first place in the academy competition!"
Lin Xuan smiled and agreed, but before he could speak, he heard a surprised and complicated voice beside him.
"Master?"
Ye Xian's usually icy gaze melted away at this moment, filled with surprise, but she quickly regained her composure.
She came here to congratulate her junior brother.
But I never expected to hear about this...
But thinking about it, it makes perfect sense.
This answered her previous question about why Duan Nianwei had so readily admitted defeat.
The look in her eyes as she gazed at Lin Xuan had become much more complex.
It turns out he didn't suddenly become stronger; it's just that I was too narrow-minded to realize how powerful my junior brother was...
Ye Xian's opinion was not important to Lin Xuan.
He nodded casually to the people around him, then vanished into the distance, returning to the courtyard prepared for the students by the Primordial Beginning Institute, no longer the center of attention.
The college entrance exams will be over in a while.
During this time, he had no intention of watching anymore, after all, the battles of others were of little help to him.
So, I'll just go into seclusion to stabilize my injuries and wait for the final competition rewards...
Once the reward arrived, he began challenging the Demon-Subduing Hall and preparing for his breakthrough!
With the reward for first place in the academy competition, plus the Demon-Subduing Hall bonus, Lin Xuan was eager to see how many realms he could break through this time.
Could one go straight to the Earth Venerable? Or even... the Heavenly Venerable in one breath!
