Chapter 409: Chapter 409: There Are So Many Heavenly Prides in This Generation

"Such a domineering Sword Intent, this mastery of swordsmanship is indeed not inferior to mine, it seems my own path in swordsmanship still has a long way to go,"

Lin Chen muttered to himself as he observed the powerful Sword Intent emanating from the beautiful woman in the distance.

When Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division had completely mastered the High Mountain Flowing Water Swordsmanship, Lin Chen thought he had already achieved a high level of expertise in the art of the sword.

But who could have imagined, the moment Mu Qianqiu made her appearance, she immediately forced Lin Chen to face reality, realizing that his swordsmanship had nothing to be proud of and was far from matching hers.

Hearing the beautiful woman’s words, the two white-haired elders turned red with anger, but they stood rooted to the spot, unable to retort.

There was no helping it; in Alchemy and Artifact Refining, the two elders were the best in the Formation Sect. However, when it came to Martial Force, even if they combined forces, they stood no chance against Mu Qianqiu.

If they were to fight, they would likely bring trouble upon themselves. To have the uninitiated disciples witness the scene of them being taught a lesson by Mu Qianqiu during today’s martial meeting would result in losing all their dignity.

Tang Yuntian, Tang Yunshan, and Tang Yunfei, at the moment, did not dare to even breathe heavily as they watched the three figures suddenly flying out of the Inner Sect.

As leaders of the Outer Sect, although they had some clout within the Inner Sect, it was only when facing some less significant Inner Sect Elders. The three figures before them were the three giants of the Inner Sect, especially Mu Qianqiu whose strength was unfathomable, ranking among the top three powerhouses of the Formation Sect. They didn’t dare to breathe loudly at this moment, suspending the commands for the martial meeting, waiting for Mu Qianqiu to settle the matter at hand first.

It was clear that Xia Wanxin, the Little Princess of Yanwu Country, had already been internally decided upon by the Inner Sect.

Because of the dispute among the three, Mu Qianqiu eventually did not force Xia Wanxin to become her disciple, instead letting Xia Wanxin choose for herself.

The other Martial Artists around them were already red-eyed with envy at this point.

The three figures before them were the three giants of the Formation Sect’s Inner Sect. To become a disciple under any of their tutelage was something other Martial Artists would strive for but could hardly obtain.

Yet now, these three giants were letting Xia Wanxin make the choice instead.

This showed how extraordinary Xia Wanxin’s aptitude must be.

Apart from Xia Wanxin, Qin Kaifeng’s aptitude was only slightly inferior to hers, but he did not receive such treatment.

The crowd was unaware that Qin Kaifeng did not receive such treatment because of his special status.

"Thank you, three seniors, for your high regard. I have never left Yanwu Country since childhood, and all my cultivation has been under the supervision of my elders, so I truly am uncertain about which direction I should develop in,"

"So I would like to go through the assessments first, join the Formation Sect, and then explore which area I am best suited for," Xia Wanxin responded to the three with utmost sincerity and politeness.

Her words had no problem at all because they came from the heart. Indeed, Xia Wanxin had grown up under the care of her elders, so she was truly unsure whether she preferred Alchemy or Artifact Refining, Array Formation, or learning Swordsmanship, or something else.

Hearing Xia Wanxin’s sincere words, the two elders from Pill Pavilion and Spiritual Treasure Pavilion secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They feared that their cowardice in front of Mu Qianqiu made Xia Wanxin look down on them and join One Sword Pavilion. But now, it seemed Xia Wanxin might not like practicing swordsmanship, and they still had a chance to recruit this talented individual into their own sects.

"Truly befitting of Yanwu Country’s Little Princess, to actually reject the invitations of the three giants, this is truly defying the heavens,"

"Yes, such a great opportunity; grasping it would mean soaring to the heavens. This girl is really capricious, not realizing the great opportunity she is losing. When we became Martial Artists, where did we have the luxury of being so picky? Any of these three choices would lead to a bright future if one could become a disciple under any of the three giants. There’s no need to dilly-dally,"

"Do you think everyone is like us? Can’t you see that Yanwu Country’s Little Princess has never needed to worry about Cultivation Resources since childhood? Her problem is fundamentally different from ours. If she doesn’t pursue the aspiration that speaks to her soul, she will inevitably face inner demons that will affect her future cultivation. Moreover, she has only rejected the invitations of the three giants for now, it’s not like she won’t have the opportunity to join them after entering the Formation Sect,"

The Martial Artists around could not help but sigh at Xia Wanxin’s decision.

Some thought Xia Wanxin was being overly fastidious, turning her nose up at an opportunity when others would go to great lengths for it. Yet those with a deeper understanding pointed out the truth that if Xia Wanxin did not pursue her true self, she was bound to face inner demons.

Lin Chen turned his head to look at the person who had spoken those words and saw an elder whose Cultivation was at the First Level of Reverting Void Realm, probably someone of the same caliber as Zhao Zhongtian. However, this elder’s aptitude was not as high as that of Zhao Zhongtian’s, but regarding the pursuit of life and understanding, he saw things very clearly.

After hearing the elder’s words, Lin Chen also reflected on himself. What was he truly pursuing?

Was it personal strength, or to protect people like Yang Yuemin?

At that moment, as the three giants arrived at the martial competition platform from the Inner Sect, more Inner Sect Elders started emerging one after another.

Clearly, they too were drawn by the exceptional talents exhibited by Xia Wanxin, fearing that they would be too late and another would claim her already.

But after arriving at the scene and learning of the situation, they were left feeling helpless. Even Mu Qianqiu couldn’t persuade Xia Wanxin to join her, so naturally, it was difficult for them as well.

The multitude of elders had to give up on the idea of recruiting Xia Wanxin. However, since they had already come from the Inner Sect, they were in no rush to return, instead choosing to stay and see if any other exceptionally talented Heavenly Prides would appear.

Hum—

Just as the commotion caused by Xia Wanxin had settled down, a radiant green light shot up into the sky.

A new phenomenon had appeared, signifying yet another prodigy with exceptional talent.

All eyes followed the light, and they saw a plainly dressed young man.

"Ouyang Xuan, with Cultivation at Half-Step Return to Void Realm, top-tier aptitude, and a score of one hundred points."

To everyone’s surprise, this year’s recruitment assembly saw the rise of two Heavenly Prides with top-tier aptitude and perfect scores.

The scene suddenly stirred up again.
