The Villain Starts From Dual Cultivation With The Protagonist's Master

Simadong mobilizes spiritual energy and attaches it to the sword to enhance the power and speed of the sword.

Before this, Lu Chuan had sparred with many sword experts in Lin Qingxue's illusion.

For him, Simadong's moves were not impressive.

Since he was facing someone of similar level to Lu Li, forcing him to use his strongest move would also help him understand Lu Li's strength.

Lu Chuan easily dodged Simadong's attacks from all directions, appearing relaxed.

"Is this your level, Young Master Sima?" Lu Chuan laughed mockingly, "Aren't you a sword genius? Is this all you've got?"

Veins bulged on Simadong's forehead as he gritted his teeth.

All his attacks were evaded, which made him feel very frustrated.

When he had sparred with Lu Li earlier, Lu Li had used a sword for defense, but the person in front of him hadn't even raised a sword yet.

Simadong felt looked down upon by a random kid!?

As long as he landed one hit, as long as he landed one hit, he was confident he could defeat Lu Chuan directly.

"You coward who only knows how to dodge! If you dare, take my sword!"

"Oh? How about this, you use your strongest move, I'll stand still and let you attack. If I can withstand your next move, you admit defeat. How about that?"

"You arrogant little fish, you dare to say that. Fine, let me show you my strongest move."

Simadong rarely paused his attack, closed his eyes, and raised his sword high.

The crowd above the arena saw Simadong's posture and became excited.

"Is it that move? The Sima family's secret sword technique!"

"I've heard about it before, they say Simadong once used this move to defeat a cultivator at the Foundation Building Stage."

"I've never heard of Lu Chuan at the Immortal Gate before, he should be a newcomer in the inner sect. He couldn't possibly withstand this attack."

It should be noted that the disciples participating in the inner sect competition were still at the Qi Refining Stage. Those who reached the Foundation Building Stage before the age of thirty were considered geniuses.

The gap between the Qi Refining Stage and the Foundation Building Stage was even greater than that between the Foundation Building Stage and the Gold Core Stage.

It was the difference between mortals and true cultivators. Qi Refining Stage cultivators couldn't even perform basic sword flying, while Foundation Building Stage cultivators could do various things with abundant spiritual energy.

Being able to defeat a Foundation Building Stage cultivator while at the Qi Refining Stage was enough to prove the power of this sword technique.

In the air above the arena, Lin Qingxue saw this scene and became extremely anxious.

There must be something fishy about Simadong's victory in the previous battle, but she didn't want to get involved and remained silent.

But she didn't expect Lu Chuan to suddenly appear and challenge Simadong.

Lu Chuan had just woken up not long ago, and he might not have fully recovered. How could they let him participate in the competition?

And his opponent was Simadong. Simadong's swordsmanship level was not low, and he was also good at deception. What if Lu Chuan got injured?

No, she had to stop the match.

Just as Lin Qingxue was about to move, the sect master sent her a message.

"Sister Lin, don't worry. Lu Chuan is my disciple, and I know him quite well. He won't easily do something he's not sure of. Just watch."

After hearing this, although she still couldn't accept it, what else could she do when her master had spoken? She had to give up.

She focused her attention on the arena. If Lu Chuan was in danger, she would rush down immediately.

The sect master, Zhang Zhenhai, stroked his long beard and looked at Lin Qingxue's anxious expression with a satisfied smile.

He had watched Lin Qingxue grow up.

After Lin Qingxue's master passed away, she had been obsessed with cultivation and had no interest in other things.

He had always worried that Lin Qingxue would be trapped by the past and eventually go astray.

But now, the cultivation maniac who only knew how to cultivate all day long was actually worried about someone else.

He never expected that his newly accepted disciple would change her.

No need to worry about this little junior sister anymore. He could finally put his mind at ease.

He just didn't know what attitude Lu Chuan had towards Lin Qingxue. He would have to ask him another day.

This wasn't gossip, he was just concerned about whether his junior sister and disciple were getting along well.

"Hahaha, Lu Chuan. My Flame Fire Sword is ready. Are you ready to die?"

Simadong's sword turned crimson, and the audience below could feel the heat emanating from it.

As long as they were grazed by this sword, scorching heat would rush into their bodies through the wound, disrupting the flow of spiritual energy from within.

Such domineering and malicious swordsmanship!

"Stop talking nonsense and come at me." Lu Chuan also posed tiredly.

Furthermore, his so-called Flame Fire Sword is just compressing the spiritual energy in his body into fire and attaching it to the blade of the sword.

Lu Chuan can also do it.

He just promised not to use spiritual energy against him, otherwise, he could also create a replica.

"You're so eager to die, you'll be the first!"

Sima Dong launched a crazy attack, his Flame Fire Sword increasing both speed and power by more than one level.

With each swing of his sword, waves of heat rushed towards Lu Chuan.

The sword itself was easy to dodge, but the heat was difficult to block.

Lu Chuan also felt a bit tricky. After a few more moves, piles of heat would surround him, cutting off the air.

He couldn't hold his breath yet at the Foundation Building Stage, he would suffocate and faint from lack of oxygen.

Since he had witnessed Sima Dong's ultimate move and had a rough grasp of Luoli's current strength, this farce should come to an end.

Tai Chi Sword, activate!

"What is that!? I have never seen such a clever sword technique!"

"It's not a sword technique, I can't feel any fluctuations of spiritual energy from him!"

The elders were discussing fervently, all amazed by Lu Chuan's moves.

"That's just pure swordsmanship," Lin Qingxue, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

As someone who specialized in swordsmanship, Lin Qingxue's words silenced the elders.

Lu Chuan was using the fitness swordsmanship he had learned during his university days in his previous life, the Tai Chi Sword.

Using softness to overcome hardness, using weakness to show the enemy, turning the enemy's attacks into counterattacks.

Guided by the Tai Chi Sword, the heat emitted by Sima Dong's Flame Fire Sword was redirected back to him by Lu Chuan's sword.

A few seconds later, Sima Dong's body was covered in numerous wounds, and waves of heat continuously entered his meridians through the wounds.

Seeing Sima Dong's painful expression, Lu Chuan felt quite relieved.

"Shall we continue, Young Master Sima?"

Sima Dong didn't know why his swordsmanship was hurting himself, but he couldn't care about that now.

Lu Chuan had been mocking him since he stepped onto the stage, and he had never been so humiliated.

"I am the next head of the Sima family, a destined genius. How could I lose to a nobody like you?"

Ignoring the pain from his wounds, Sima Dong mobilized more spiritual energy, making his attacks more fierce and fast.

But under the influence of Lu Chuan's Tai Chi Sword, all the sword energy he swung out was completely returned. His clothes had already been burned off, and his whole body was covered in wounds.

"Just one strike is enough, just one sword!"

How could my Young Master Sima lose to this unknown cannon fodder?

"Oh, I still have the Immobilization Stone!" Sima Dong thought.

He wanted to take out the Immobilization Stone and use the Immobilization Technique to immobilize Lu Chuan.

"You never learn." Lu Chuan lost his patience and wouldn't give Sima Dong another chance.

At the moment he took out the Immobilization Stone, Lu Chuan pierced his hand with his sword.

Ding!

A smooth and transparent stone fell to the ground.

Lu Chuan smiled kindly, "Young Master Sima, can you explain what this is?"

Sima Dong's whole body was burned and wounded, plus the huge wound on his hand, he had already lost too much blood.

Anger, disbelief, and shame of wanting to argue surged within him.

Sima Dong fainted.

The elders and onlookers looked at the special stone and the unconscious Sima Dong on the ground.

"Immobilization Stone!" Someone in the crowd recognized this Spirit Weapon. "This is a type of Spirit Treasure, it's quite valuable. Its function is to immobilize living creatures in front of it."

Luoli found out why she suddenly stood still in the last match.

"Head, look..." the referee spoke up.

Zhang Zhenhai stroked his long beard with one hand and waved his hand towards the referee beside him with the other.

"No need to say more, the winner has been decided."

The referee descended from the sky onto the martial arts stage.

"I announce that the winner of this battle is Lu Chuan."

"Very good!" The head with crane-like hair and a youthful face laughed heartily as he descended from the sky. "Lu Chuan performed well, worthy of being my closed-door disciple."

Behind him was Lin Qingxue, who had secretly followed him down.
