Zhao Ming looked at Lu Wen, with a few complicated colors flashing in his eyes.

  He was the most outstanding talent in Dongtang, with exceptional natural ability and a strong passion for martial arts. His achievements in this field surpassed those of his many brothers.

  Being able to enter widely and multiply under the gate, wearing a blue robe to become an elite disciple, being cultivated by the sect is affirmation of him.

  But the Lu Wen in front of him was about the same age as Zhao Ming, but his cultivation was much higher.

  Zhao Ming's current cultivation has reached the middle stage of the External Void Realm at his age, which is quite rare.

  But Lu Wen was already in the late stage of the External Cauldron Realm.

  The difference between the two sides is like wearing a blue robe, Lu's robe has an extra black border than his.

  And the Yan Zhao Song beside him was even more astonishingly talented, last time before leaving the mountain, he was still an inner sect elder of the late stage, this time back to the mountain, he had already completely surpassed Zhao Ming and reached the outer sect elder of the late stage!

  Such a promotion speed can no longer be described as surprising, but rather terrifying.

  Zhao Ming felt no jealousy at all, only admiration remained.

  Looking at Lu Wen coming up the stairs, Zhao Ming said indifferently: "Thank you, Senior Lu, for your guidance."

  The competition between Fang Zhun and Yan Di was also clear in Zhao Ming's heart.

  That's too high-end, it's not something he can intervene in, but which side to take is closer, for Zhao Ming, there is no choice at all.

  Among the young generation of Guang Cheng Mountain, Lu Wen and Yan Zhao Ge have never gotten along, and Zhao Ming is well aware of this.

  "Practicing no other martial arts, focusing on the Seven Stars Sword for ten years, you might be able to exchange moves with me." Zhao Ming glanced at Yan Zhaoge and recalled that after Lu Qisheng won the Seven Stars Sword competition back then, he had left behind such words. As a result, this old friend of his had given up using the Seven Stars Sword from then on, instead creating the Sleeve Dragon.

  Yanzhao Song looked calmly at Lu Wen, a tall and handsome young man with a few hints of pride and confidence between his eyebrows.

  As a young generation of Guang Cheng Mountain, he is the most outstanding among his peers and has the capital and qualifications to be proud.

  Especially, Yan Zhao's line of sight fell on Lu Wen's head.

  "Hmm, promoted to Pre-Heaven Sect Master, congratulations." Yan Zhao Ge raised an eyebrow and said nonchalantly.

  Zhao Ming was taken aback, his expression becoming much more serious, carefully and attentively perceiving with his heart, rather than simply looking with his eyes.

  As expected, Lu's head was topped with a faintly discernible spiritual light that rose upwards, piercing through the sky, appearing and disappearing.

  "It's really stepping into the Innate Realm!" Zhao Ming's eyes condensed, and that was the spiritual light of heaven and earth communicating, meaning that a martial artist had refined their martial arts and the aura around them to produce a thread of spirituality, connecting with the external world.

  When that spiritual light is fully condensed and clearly visible to the naked eye, it means that the martial artist has set foot in the realm of connecting with heaven, and the unity of heaven and man.

  Congenital masters can control whether their spiritual light is visible or not. Lu Xing at this moment obviously didn't exert any control, and it was clearly displayed in front of others.

  Yanzhao smiled and hummed a tune.

  Linquan baptism, Lu Wenyi has been staring at it all along, after all, opportunities are limited.

  There is still one chance now, Lu Xun can try to fight for it, otherwise he will be more depressed.

  But as opportunities become fewer, the sect's seniors will be more cautious in making decisions, and the harder it is for Lu to fight for a place.

  Lu Xun walked upstairs and his eyes also fell on Yan Zhao Ge.

  The joy of being promoted to Xiantian disappeared without a trace soon after leaving the pass.

  Yanzhao Song rose from the late stage of Neigang to the late stage of Waigang in less than a year, leaving him speechless.

  If it weren't for this breakthrough in closed quarters, Yan Zhao Ge's cultivation realm would have already caught up with him.

  What shocked him even more was that Xiang Yuandong and Xiao Sheng, one after another, were defeated by Yan Zhao Ge, with Xiao Sheng being directly beheaded.

  Others may not understand how strong Xiao Sheng is, but Lu Wen is the clearest. Among Guang Chengshan and Da Ri Sheng Zong at their age, he and Xiao Sheng were once equally brilliant, starting from their youth and competing with each other for nearly ten years now.

  He cannot help but miss Xiao Sheng, and Xiao Sheng also cannot help but miss him.

  This time Lu Wen successfully took a step forward in advancing to the Xiantian Master realm, finally surpassing Xiao Sheng by one step.

  But such an opponent was killed one-on-one by a younger Yan Zhao Ge.

  This makes Lu ask, how can one not feel shocked and moved?

  The previous generation of Yan Di and Fang Zhun were competing, why should there be no competition between their third generations?

  Regarding the Yan Zhao Song, a series of astonishing news came one after another, and Lu asked that if it weren't for his unyielding determination, he would probably have fallen into confusion and lost his competitive spirit.

  He took the lead and surpassed Xiao Sheng by one step, which should have caused a significant stir within the sect and made everyone feel delighted.

  But now it seems like a joke.

  Lu Xun even wished that no one would ask about it, and no one would mention it.

  The Linquan baptism, which was originally destined to be obtained, has also become elusive and unpredictable.

  "Also congratulations to you, Yan Shi Di, for stepping into... the late stage of the Grandmaster realm."

  Lu Wen looked at Yan Zhao Ge and said slowly.

  Yanzhao smiled and suddenly said: "Knowledge gained from books is superficial, only by experiencing it personally can one truly understand."

  Lu Wen's gaze condensed, looking at Yan Zhao Ge, Yan Zhao Ge smiled faintly: "It's easy to talk on paper, but it's useless to just speak empty words. Some things can only be understood after experiencing them in person."

  "Oh? You mean I'm just talking nonsense now?" Lu Xun took a step forward, coming to the front of Yan Zhao Ge: "Nothing else matters, but with regards to the Seven Stars Sword Technique, I acknowledge that I have some right to speak as a Master."

  Yanzhao's song was too powerful in East Tang, and when the news spread back to Shandong, it even made people feel unbelievable.

  If it weren't for Shi Tie's proof, many people would have thought that Yan Zhao Ge was boasting and making false claims.

  Although he felt unbelievable, Lu Wen still chose to believe, and it was precisely because of this that he felt tremendous pressure.

  On one hand, emotionally, Lu Wen had always been at odds with Yan Zhao Ge, who was much younger than him and had suddenly risen to prominence, surpassing himself, making Lu Wen eager to prove himself.

  On the one hand, rationally speaking, Lu Wen actually wanted to wait and see how things developed before directly confronting Yan Zhao Ge.

  However, it might be different if the field of competition is the Seven Stars Swordsmanship, and Lu Wen has absolute confidence.

  Not to mention being of the same young generation, even if we count all the warriors who have reached the realm of Tongtian and the realm of Xiantianhouqi, Guang Chengshan is still the number one swordsman among the seven-star swordsmen!

  Even some powerful Grandmaster-level cultivators, even if they use the Seven Stars Sword, it's still a matter of their realm suppressing others.

  Even if we just talk about the swordsmanship of Qī Xīng Jiàn, it's still not as good as Lù Wèn's.

  It was then that he suppressed the young man in front of him, abandoned the Seven Stars Sword and no longer practiced it, and instead created his own swordsmanship.

  In this field, he has the confident and vigorous spirit of the Yan Zhao song.

  "Since you said that, actions speak louder than words. It just so happens that both of us practice the Seven Stars Sword Style, let's give a demonstration for Zhao Shidi." Yan Zhao Ge smiled and didn't say anything else, directly raising his hand, with his middle and index fingers standing together like a sword, thrusting towards Lu Wen's face.

  Lu Wen slightly raised an eyebrow: "Good timing."

  He immediately used his fingers as a sword, and with the same Seven Stars Sword, he met the pointing finger of Yan Zhao Ge.

  Neither of them used their internal energy, purely relying on changes in sword techniques to compete.

  Even so, Zhao Ming on the side only felt that in front of him, the third floor of the Wuku Building was shining brightly, with seven stars gathering!

  "The essence of the Seven Stars is indeed the foundation of the Seven Stars Sword, and all variations are based on this principle." Yan Zhao Song said to Zhao Ming, "Occupying the North Star position is the key point of the Seven Stars Sword."

  "But how to occupy? The enemy is not a wooden puppet, watching you perform, especially those who understand the Seven Stars Sword of this school, will even compete with you for the North Star position or force you to deviate from the North Star position..."

  As they spoke, Yan Zhao took a step forward, his sword flashing in the moonlight, forcing Lu Wen to retreat a step.

  Zhao Ming's eyes lit up, knowing that this was exactly what Yan Zhao Ge had seized the North Star position, and only then gained the upper hand!

  Lu Wen hummed a low sound, and his swordsmanship changed again. His body moved, and he forced Yan Zhao Ge to retreat once more.

  Yanzhao Song didn't mind and continued: "...... So, what should be done at this time?"
