Lu Jiu returned to the Qinglong Pavilion and did not go to look for Da Dong.

Every time he came back from a mission, he used to divide half of the bounty, but Zhao Dadong used most of it for the orphans he cared for.

Aviva is a month away.

The Yingjie Conference, as the name suggests, gathers young geniuses from various schools to compete, and holds a grand ceremony competition for this purpose.

Lu Jiu's identity as the young pavilion master of the Qinglong Pavilion has almost no information in the outside world.

Only the elders of the Qinglong Pavilion and his master Nie Qinglong knew his true level.

Lu Jiu's attainments in swordsmanship have reached perfection, and he has faintly touched the realm of "Heart Sword".

And Jiuyang Divine Skill has reached the peak of the Condensing Sun stage!

To be honest, this is thanks to Nie Qinglong finding a lot of natural treasures for Lu Jiu to use.

The resources stipulated by the Qinglong Pavilion cannot be misappropriated, but Nie Qinglong has an offering!

And the Qinglong Sword Technique has been taught by Nie Qinglong, and the progress is also fast, and it has reached the realm of Dacheng.

Lu Jiu's current strength has properly stood in the second echelon of the Xuanwu Kingdom!

If Lu Jiu practiced the Jiuyang Divine Skill to the point that King Kong was not bad and endless, and then cultivated the swordsmanship to the realm of the Heart Sword, then he would be able to wrestle with Nie Qinglong, the Plum Blossom Hero, a group of veteran powerhouses!

But.

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

When he reached Lu Jiu's realm, his previous cultivation speed could no longer explain anything.

If you want to step into the realm of "Heart Sword", you can only rely on one way - enlightenment!

It may be a logical realization, or it can be a flash of epiphany.

But without exception, comprehension or epiphany requires luck and strength.

And it's all indispensable.

And the most doggy thing is that even if you are enlightened, there is a great possibility that you will not be able to enter the realm of the heart sword! ’

Lu Jiu couldn't help but complain.

This is the benefit of having a powerful master, if it weren't for Nie Qinglong, Lu Jiu wouldn't even know about this matter, and he would definitely be like a headless fly on the path of martial arts.

Why are there so many people in the Xuanwu Kingdom who practice martial arts, but there are only so many super powerhouses at the grandmaster level?

An obvious feature of the Grandmaster level is "the unity of heaven and man"!

Residing in heaven and earth, merging gods and returning to all things!

After reaching this state, people will be able to feel the power of heaven and earth to a certain extent!

Of course, this is not about controlling the rules of the world or anything.

In short, it is to enable people in the realm of the unity of heaven and man to have more powerful attack power, reaching a terrifying level!

This realm is summarized as the unity of heaven and man, and among swordsmen, it is called the "heart sword".

The swordsman is the "heart blade", in fact, the two are common.

It's just a matter of name.

And one out of a hundred people who have entered the state of "enlightenment" can enter the realm of grandmasters, which is already good.

Therefore, there are only a few top powerhouses in the Xuanwu Kingdom.

The only grandmaster powerhouses that Lu Jiu knew were Nie Qinglong, Plum Blossom Hero, and Yan Chihuang.

Of course, there must be others.

For example, Ah Qi is also possible, Qingfeng also has a high probability, the leader of the Shadow Assassin is certain, and there is a rotten fate!

Well...... And me.

Lu Jiu thought unashamedly in his heart.

As for the cangzhang...... Lu Jiu asked Nie Qinglong, but the answer he got was negative.

"That guy is a typical case of failure to enter the Grandmaster realm, but because of the particularity of the exercises he is cultivating, he can barely take my move."

Lu Jiu immediately felt that this old man was bragging.

And what he didn't know was that what Nie Qinglong said was really not exaggerating.

After he was seriously injured and fainted to death by a slap in the palm of the cangzhang, Nie Qinglong really beat the cangzhang!

But Lu Jiu didn't know it.

After returning to the Qinglong Pavilion, the idle and panicked Nie Qinglong habitually asked him to play tricks with him.

Lu Jiu didn't say anything.

The old man didn't make a move with him once or twice, and Lu Jiu also understood that he was feeding himself again.

Nie Qinglong likes to point out mistakes to him in battle.

Jingling, the sound of gold and iron resounding throughout the courtyard, the figures of the master and apprentice were staggered, the speed was extremely fast, in just a few minutes, the two of them had already passed hundreds of moves!

However, the final result was still Nie Qinglong's victory.

“…… Master, although my strength is not enough, isn't it bullying people to participate in this Yingjie Conference? ”

Lu Jiu took a sip of tea and said rather depressedly.

His own strength can be regarded as entering a bottleneck for the time being.

The improvement of swordsmanship requires opportunities, and the improvement of Jiuyang Divine Skill takes time to come naturally.

The only thing that can be improved is the Qinglong Sword Technique.

However, it didn't happen overnight.

But even so, Lu Jiu's strength can be regarded as a master in the Xuanwu Kingdom.

Intuitively, it's similar to Red Fang and Ah Qi, who has just joined the Shadow Assassins.

To be able to join the Shadow Assassins, they are the best of the best.

That is, the best among the second-echelon powerhouses of the Xuanwu Kingdom!

And Lu Jiu is only sixteen years old this year.

It may seem a little low, but Ah Qi has this strength at the age of fifteen.

But that's not how it doesn't count.

It took less than four years for Lu Jiu to go from practicing martial arts to his current strength.

Many of the children who entered the Xuanwu Kingdom were generally eight or nine years old, and they were only able to join the various sects after they had been cultivated.

In other words, those who were able to join the Xuanwu Kingdom were already carefully selected elites!

And not ordinary people who don't know anything!

But even so, the average Xuanwu people generally have to be in their twenties or even thirties to achieve the realm they want to achieve!

It's more intuitive to be an ordinary person - don't think about it for the rest of your life!

The requirement of the Heroes Conference is not to be more than 20 years old.

Thinking of this, Lu Jiu couldn't help but want to complain.

Too...... No more challenging!

Even if you can pretend to beep, there is no sense of accomplishment!

Think about it, in the eyes of Nie Qinglong, a group of veteran powerhouses, the Yingjie Conference is just a children's fight.

And Lu Jiu seems to be the same!

He had already understood that the so-called "young geniuses" of the various sects, and there were very few people who had barely reached the top of the third echelon.

Lu Jiu, a person who is a big realm above him, went to participate in this, but what is it that is not bullying children?

"Isn't it good to bully people?"

Nie Qinglong couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw him like this.

He knew that his disciple was much more mature than ordinary people, but occasionally he was a little nervous and sand sculpture.

But on the whole, he is reasonable, talented, and willing to work hard!

Therefore, Nie Qinglong sometimes likes to play tricks on his apprentice.

After all, Lu Jiu is about to earn a big face for himself!

It won't be long before you can pretend to beep in front of a group of old friends!

Think about it, when Lu Jiu won the top spot in the Yingjie Conference, and his old friends congratulated him, he said this......

"Oh, no, no, no, my apprentice is really not a weapon!"

Nie Qinglong waved his hand, looking like he hated iron but not steel.
