When night fell, the exchange competition between disciples of various sects was declared over by the elder in charge because no one came up to challenge.
Yu Xingwu looked at the tall and straight man holding a long sword on the competition stage, and the corners of her mouth rose uncontrollably.
His eyebrows were curved, and his eyes were full of joy.
The system said excitedly: "Oh my, he is indeed a powerful villain! He really won thirty games in a row! No, thirty-six games!"
"I knew that he would be able to win the Epiphyllum Colored Glass Hairpin for the host, and then pin the hairpin in the host's hair in front of the disciples of various sects to declare his sovereignty! It's a bit exciting, hehe~"
It would have been fine if the system hadn't said anything. After it said that, Yu Xingwu felt her cheeks getting a little hot.
He felt a little embarrassed to put the hairpin on her in front of so many people, but she had to admit that she was looking forward to it.
When Yun Xiao and others saw Shen Zhuo coming down the stage to receive the award, they praised him a lot.
Jiang Yan, in particular, seemed to know that he would lose as if he had predicted it, and the person who defeated Jiang Yan was indeed easily defeated by Shen Zhuo, who even used only three sword moves.
It also made all the disciples present realize that the gap between realms is like a chasm and is extremely difficult to cross.
Except for sword cultivators who do not rely on their cultivation to win and can fight across levels, it is difficult for other professions to cross the realm gap.
A sword cultivator's attainment in the way of the sword does not entirely depend on the level of cultivation, but on the sword intent.
If one can gain some understanding of the sword's meaning, his sword realm will naturally be higher than his own cultivation. This is the reason and capital for sword cultivators to fight across levels.
Shen Zhuo is in the fusion stage and is the disciple of the First Sword Master. He has superb swordsmanship and a rare thunder spirit root.
His natal sword was the divine weapon, the Kuji Sword, which was at the top of the list of thunder-attributed long swords. His winning streak time and again made the disciples who wanted to challenge him hesitate.
Among them are Yun Chong, the chief disciple of Tiandao Sect, the chief disciple of Wuliang Sect, and the chief disciple of Linghua Sect.
There is also Song Xinghe, who is competing with Yu Xingwu to become Ling Che's disciple.
Song Xinghe has now reached the realm of distraction, but he is still not good enough when facing the realm of fusion.
Originally, Song Xinghe thought that since he was a swordsman, he was not without hope of winning.
In Song Xinghe's opinion, if he could defeat Yu Xingwu's Taoist partner, it would be the same as defeating Yu Xingwu.
Even after defeating Shen Zhuo, he could use this matter to annoy Yu Xingwu.
But in the end, Song Xinghe did not go on stage.
The reason was that Shen Zhuo was also a sword cultivator. After watching one competition after another, Song Xinghe knew that he could not beat Shen Zhuo. He really could not beat him. The gap in strength was more than just a little bit.
The chief disciples of the four sects were all at the fusion stage. The chief disciple of the Tiandao Sect, Gu Cen, was even at the late fusion stage, but he hesitated and did not go on stage.
Firstly, today is the ancestor’s birthday and Tiandao Sect is the home court, so Gu Cen does not want to be in the limelight.
After all, the Tiandao Sect is the largest sect, and he is the chief disciple. He feels it is inappropriate to compete for rewards with disciples from other sects.
At first, Gu Cen didn't want to participate in the competition, but after seeing Shen Zhuo's strength, Gu Cen couldn't help himself.
Even though his cultivation was two levels higher than Shen Zhuo's, Gu Cen did not think he could definitely defeat Shen Zhuo.
If he lost the competition, as the chief disciple of Tiandao Sect, he would also lose the reputation of Tiandao Sect.
By then, it is inevitable that someone will say in private that the younger disciples of Tiandao Sect are not as good as those of Tianlan Sect.
It's really annoying. Isn't this just causing trouble for the ancestor and master on the ancestor's birthday?
As the leader of a sect, his master cares most about the sect's reputation.
Previously, because Ling Yunzi of Tianlan Sect predicted the appearance of an evil star, all the new disciples this year went to Tianlan Sect to become disciples.
If he, the chief disciple of the largest sect, loses to a disciple of Tianlan Sect again, more disciples will probably go to Tianlan Sect to become disciples in the future, and his master will be disappointed in him.
Since I'm not 100% sure of winning, it's better not to go on stage.
Besides, he was not the only disciple in the fusion stage present, and the others did not go on stage either.
Yun Chong’s ideas are completely different from Gu Cen’s.
On the way to Tiandao Sect today, fellow disciples were privately discussing who was stronger between him and Shen Zhuo.
Everyone was guessing when Shen Zhuo would challenge him and compete with him for the position of chief disciple.
Even during the competition just now, many disciples were whispering about whether he would go on stage.
In this situation, he felt it would be better for him not to go on stage.
It would be fine if he won, but if he lost, even if Shen Zhuo had not challenged him yet, in the eyes of his fellow disciples, he, the chief disciple, would probably have become the former chief disciple in advance.
The chief disciple of Wuliang Sect is also a smart man. How could he be easy to deal with if he could kill the evil fetus? If he were not the chief disciple, he would be able to give him a challenge.
But the chief disciple represents an entire sect, and it is not a wise move for him to take the stage at this time.
Ye Su actually also wanted to go on stage to fight with Shen Zhuo, but he knew that Shen Zhuo went on stage to win the hairpin for Yu Xingwu. As the eldest brother, he should let the younger sister get the hairpin she wanted.
It was also for this reason that Ye Su gave up the idea of fighting with Shen Zhuo.
We are brothers from the same sect. If I want to recruit him back to the sect, I can do so anytime. There is no need to do it at this time.
In Ye Su's opinion, the most important thing is to make his little junior sister happy after getting the hairpin!
Soon, Shen Zhuo walked in front of Yu Xingwu with the Epiphyllum glass hairpin, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them.
Shen Zhuo didn't say anything extra, but just said softly to Yu Xingwu: "I'll help you put it on."
After Yu Xingwu nodded, his movements became extremely cautious and skillful.
After all, this was not the first time that Shen Zhuo put a hairpin on Yu Xingwu. In the past, when he was dressing up for Yu Xingwu, it was Shen Zhuo who chose the hairpin for her to wear. But this was the first time he put a hairpin on her in front of all the immortals.
His fingertips brushed across her hair, and not only did the corners of his lips curl up in a very beautiful arc, but a smile also appeared in his eyes, showing that he was extremely happy.
Yu Xingwu's heart trembled again and again. She raised her eyes slightly and looked at Shen Zhuo. She saw that his eyelashes were very long and his expression was focused. He was completely different from the strong and unbridled look he had last night.
Thinking of last night, Yu Xingwu's pupils trembled slightly, and her cheeks and ears soon turned slightly red.
In the eyes of everyone, it was a scene of a girl with affection and a man and a woman in love.
Feng Chen wanted to crush the cup again. He didn't know what was wrong with him today and why he was so upset.
A hairpin, she was so happy. If she wanted a magic weapon, even if it was ten hairpins, he could give it to her.
The person who was even angrier than Feng Chen was Yu Zheng.
I cursed in my heart: Little devil! Guan would use tricks to seduce Jiaojiao!
The cowards from the four major sects! Not one of them dared to come on stage! They just watched this little devil steal the show and win the hairpin! Cowards! All of them are cowards!
It’s no wonder that Jiaojiao was bewitched by him. Not only Jiaojiao, but other women would not be able to withstand this tactic!
The only thing that made him less angry was that after more than thirty rounds of competitions, no matter how strong the little demon was, it had consumed a lot of energy. If it fought with others afterwards, it would naturally be in worse condition.
Just bear with it, it will be over soon. After tonight, no one will be able to seduce his Jiaojiao anymore!
