415: Martial arts conference

Mu Bai had also just achieved a Breakthrough to the Late Spirit Realm, and his Soul Power was not much different in intensity from Mu Ruxue's.

But Mu Ruxue had the 'Devour' talent!

Initially, the two could contend equally, but as the competition continued, Mu Ruxue's combat power grew stronger and stronger, while Mu Bai remained stagnant.

After they clashed five times, Mu Ruxue's combat power had already suppressed Mu Bai.

In the sixth clash, her 'Crimson Sun' annihilated Mu Bai's attack and shattered his colorless barrier.

Li Changbai, who was watching from the side, decisively made his move, blocking in front of Mu Bai, and simultaneously shouted loudly: "New Disciple Grand Competition finals, Mu Ruxue wins!"

Upon hearing this, the entire arena erupted.

"Holy cow, Mu Ruxue won! Mu Ruxue is the champion!"

"Sigh, back during the enrollment exam, no one thought much of Mu Ruxue, everyone thought she was a girl with a poor foundation, but who would have thought she would come this far!"

"Peak Master Lu is one of the nine prodigies of the central continent, how could a Disciple he chose be simple?"

"Alas, it's such a pity. While Mu Ruxue's comeback is indeed shocking, I still wanted to see Senior Brother Mu Bai win. After all, he is the spiritual leader of our new Disciples."

On the high platform, many Peak Masters also looked at Mu Ruxue with shock, finding the result somewhat hard to accept.

Liu Ruyan looked at Lu Xingchen and said softly: "Little Junior Brother, you really gave me a huge surprise. I didn't expect you to be right; Mu Ruxue actually won the championship."

Lu Xingchen chuckled: "It was just luck."

"If Mu Bai hadn't righteously waited for Xiao Xue to achieve a Breakthrough, Xiao Xue wouldn't have had any chance at all. Senior Sister, your Disciple is not simple!"

Liu Ruyan shook her head slightly and said with a wry smile: "A loss is a loss. However, Mu Bai's performance was already very good, I'm quite satisfied."

After the Grand Competition, Liu Ruyan presented awards to the many new Disciples, then left with the nine Peak Masters.

Lu Xingchen also returned to his Immortal Cave to rest.

As soon as he sat on the meditation cushion, there was a knock at the door.

Lu Xingchen opened the door and saw the charming and lovely Mu Ruxue.

Seeing Lu Xingchen, Mu Ruxue excitedly bounced once, then said with a smile: "Teacher, I've completed the task you gave me! How about it, am I amazing?"

Lu Xingchen chuckled: "Indeed amazing! Here, this is your reward!" With that, Lu Xingchen took the dawn bow out of his Storage Ring and handed it to Mu Ruxue.

Taking the dawn bow, Mu Ruxue's eyes lit up.

"Holy cow, an earth rank high grade Spiritual Artifact! Teacher is too generous!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled: "My combat power has already reached the Peak Martial Venerable, and the opponents I face are all Advanced Martial Venerables. Earth Rank Spiritual Artifacts are no longer of much use to me, so it's better to give it to you as a self-defense item."

Hearing this, little stars sparkled in Mu Ruxue's eyes.

"Holy cow, Peak Martial Venerable! Is Teacher that powerful?"

Lu Xingchen chuckled: "It's just an ordinary Peak Martial Venerable, but the opponents I face are all Prodigies from various Realms. They all possess the ability to fight across Ranks, so I might encounter those whose Realm is lower than mine but whose combat power is stronger."

Mu Ruxue nodded slightly and said softly: "So that's how it is. That's still very impressive! Since that's the case, I'll accept this dawn bow."

With that, Mu Ruxue put the dawn bow into her Storage Ring.

Then she stared at Lu Xingchen, a hint of solemnity appearing in her eyes.

"Teacher, my Realm has already reached the Late Spirit Realm, and with Word Spirit Power, I can already contend with Martial Ancestor Experts. Can I go back for revenge now?"

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen's expression hardened.

Sure enough, this little girl was still thinking about that matter.

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and chuckled: "Alright, I can let you go, but I have one more condition: you must learn 'Divine Descent Heavenly Spirit'. The Li family has a large number of people and great influence, and if your Realm cannot reach the Martial Ancestor, I'm still a bit worried."

Hearing this, Mu Ruxue's expression hardened, but she still nodded heavily.

"Everything as Teacher instructs!"

"Divine Descent Heavenly Spirit" is in the "Analysis of Common Verbal Spirits", and it is one of the most powerful Word Spirits with the highest difficulty to release. She had seen it before, but didn't even have the courage to learn it.

But now that Teacher had brought it up, she could only try her best.

Because she knew in her heart that Teacher was considering her safety.

As for directly asking Teacher to take action, that had already been rejected before, and she didn't have the nerve to ask a second time.

Lu Xingchen chuckled: "I have already learned 'Divine Descent Heavenly Spirit' and used it many times. In the time to come, I will personally guide you, helping you to learn this Word Spirit."

"Your talent is no weaker than mine. Since I can learn it, then you can certainly learn it too."

Mu Ruxue nodded heavily, looking at Lu Xingchen with a hint of tenderness, and said in a deep voice: "Teacher is very right, I will definitely be able to learn it! Since that's the case, let's start now!"

"Good!"

Then the two entered Cultivation mode.

Lu Xingchen described the power of the Heavenly Dao he felt when releasing Word Spirits to Mu Ruxue, helping her to resonate with the Heavenly Dao as early as possible.

But when Mu Ruxue would learn it was truly an unknown.

Just like that, a day passed.

Lu Xingchen taught Mu Ruxue everything he could, and the rest depended on her Comprehension Ability and luck.

By the time Mu Ruxue left, it was already midnight.

A bright moon hung high in the sky, and its pure white moonlight fell on his shoulders, making one inexplicably feel a bit of chill.

As soon to Lu Xingchen closed the Immortal Cave door, there was another knock at the door.

He immediately frowned. For someone to come looking for him so late, it must be something very important. Hopefully, there's no bad news!"

Lu Xingchen opened the door and saw Li Changbai's gentle and amiable face.

"Second Senior Brother, what happened?"

Li Changbai said in a deep voice: "I don't know either. Teacher just instructed the four of us Personal Disciples to go to his Immortal Cave together; he has something important to tell us."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was startled and said in a deep voice: "What? To gather all four of us Personal Disciples! Then something big must be happening. Second Senior Brother, let's go quickly!"

"Alright! Let's go!"

Then the two spread their Dou Qi Wings and flew together towards the Sect Master Peak.

After half an hour of travel, the two finally arrived at the Sect Master Peak.

Walking into the meeting room, Xu Qing and Liu Ruyan were already waiting there.

The two bowed to Jiang Taishen and said in unison: "Greetings, Teacher!"

Jiang Taishen waved his hand and said softly: "No need for formalities, please sit down quickly!"

As soon as he sat down, Lu Xingchen eagerly said: "Teacher, what exactly happened? You actually summoned us in the middle of the night."

A hint of solemnity appeared on Jiang Taishen's face, and he said in a deep voice: "The Human Emperor Hall, the Righteous Path Alliance, and the Chosen Ones are going to jointly hold a Martial Arts Convention."
