"Why did the sect master say that, could it be that the disciples of the other eight major sects were really so powerful!" Lu Chen said with some surprise, his mind had been on improving his strength, so he had never paid attention to what was happening in Kyushu, and naturally he didn't know much about the geniuses of the Hidden Dragon List.

Murong Xuan sighed lightly: "Lu Chen, I won't tell you, this Hidden Dragon Contest has not started yet, the version of this new Hidden Dragon List has already spread outside, and the top ten geniuses are basically from the eight major sects, as well as the six major forces, among which the most powerful is Li Mengjun of Xuanyin Pavilion, Guan Zhen of Hell Gate, and Jian Xin of Ten Thousand Swords Villa!"

"Li Mengjun!" Lu Chen's heart was shocked, he didn't expect that even the sect master had heard about it, this Li Mengjun deserved to be the leading genius in Yangzhou, when she came to Wushuang City with her father to visit the Lu family, Lu Chen's father once praised her as a dragon and phoenix among people, with amazing talent, it was really not in vain, in just a few years, she became famous in Kyushu!

Murong Xuan said: "Yes, these people are all the pinnacle of the younger generation, and they also represent the face of these eight major sects, who can win the crown of the Hidden Dragon List, it can be said that the name of their sect is even more level, and it has a huge impact on the people of Kyushu!"

Since the outbreak of the last sectarian war, Kyushu has been in a state of recuperation for nearly a hundred years, and has been living in harmony on the surface, and the well water does not interfere with the river water. However, the things that can make the eight major sects pay attention at the same time, this Hidden Dragon Contest should be the first.

After all, the disciples of their own sect can be listed on the hidden dragon list, which is to win glory for the sect's long face, who doesn't want the disciples under the sect to have a few more masters on the hidden dragon list and win the popularity of the sect in the land of Kyushu?

Therefore, this hidden dragon list is more cruel and fierce than imagined, and the characters who can be ranked in the top ten are all the pride of the prominent party, whether it is strength or talent, they are definitely standing at the peak of Kyushu.

The Liuyun Sword Sect has been declining day by day over the years, and its power has declined, not only has its strength shrunk greatly all day long, but even the disciples cultivated by the sect are uneven, and they are not as good as before. There are one hundred and eight geniuses on the hidden dragon list, although there are three geniuses on the list, the highest ranking is in the top twenty.

In comparison, the Tsing Yi Sect is only a second-rate force in Qingzhou, but the disciple Li Tianxing can rank in the top fifteen in strength, which is simply a naked slap in the face to the Sword Sect.

The Liuyun Sword Sect is also one of the eight major sects, but cultivating disciples is not even as good as a second-rate sect, and it is simply a joke to say.

As the sect master of the Sword Sect, Murong Xuan felt that his face was dull and he was very disappointed in his disciple Ye, but Lu Chen, who had suddenly become famous in the Sword Sect recently, entered his sight and made his eyes light up.

Lu Chen, whether it is comprehension or personal strength, is top-notch among the younger generation, compared to the core disciples in the sect, so he intends to focus on cultivating the other party, the Liuyun Sword Sect is declining too fast, and someone needs to carry this banner, and Lu Chen is undoubtedly the best candidate!

Simply enough, Lu Chen's performance did not disappoint him, but was even better than he imagined, how could Murong Xuan not be happy, with such a genius, the rise of the Liuyun Sword Sect was just around the corner!

"Oh, it turns out that the Hidden Dragon List is related to the face of the sect, no wonder the sect master attaches so much importance to it!" Lu Chen said thoughtfully.

"Hey!" Murong Xuan sighed lightly and said with a wry smile: "If the disciples in the sect are excellent, why do I need to be like this!"

If a sect wants to rise and maintain its longevity, cultivating disciples is definitely the primary task, passing on the torch from generation to generation, so that the sect can survive for a long time. It's a pity that the Sword Sect has selected talented and talented teenagers from all over the territory under its jurisdiction over the years to cultivate, but most of these disciples' qualifications are uneven, and they are embarrassed to take on the task, if it continues, the decline of the Sword Sect is already a sure thing.

Murong Xuan's martial arts strategy, but unfortunately the disciple was embarrassed by the big responsibility, and there was nothing he could do in the face of this situation, he had more than enough heart but not enough strength, and in front of the rest of the sects, he also felt very disgraced.

And Lu Chen's excellent performance made him see the hope of the rise of the Sword Sect, in fact, Lu Chen's performance was even better than he imagined, and Murong Xuan, who was shouldering the revitalization of the Sword Sect, had been carrying huge pressure in his heart.

The Hidden Dragon Contest is coming, and the only thing he is looking forward to now is that Lu Chen can represent the sect, win glory in the Hidden Dragon Competition, and make a face for the sect!

"Disciple do his best, don't dare to pack a ticket, after all, you also know that the land of Kyushu is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there are many heroes, many demonic characters are dormant waiting for opportunities, and there are people who are better than me!" Lu Chen bowed and responded, although he was the descendant of the Peerless Sword Saint, he didn't dare to be too arrogant.

After all, the mainland of Kyushu is vast and rich, with outstanding people, and some elites have amazing strength but no reputation, and they are dormant in a corner and secretly accumulating strength, just to get ahead one day and become a blockbuster, there are many people in this kind of thing.

As the saying goes, there are talents in the country, and the era represented by the Peerless Sword Saint has passed, and perhaps, in some unknown corner, there is a hidden dragon awakening.

"Well, that's a good point, compared to Su Xingbai and them, your kind of heart is really rare. You're already ahead of them when it comes to being old-fashioned. Although there are countless geniuses and masters in the land of Kyushu, you are not bad, I have a lot of confidence in you!" Murong Xuan looked at Lu Chen with satisfaction, as if he was looking at a piece of good jade.

"Then what should I do with this Xuanqing heavy sword?" Lu Chen looked at the Xuanqing heavy sword in his hand and wondered.

Murong Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "You can take it for the time being, the sword is given to the hero, and the divine weapon is naturally worthy of the master." The Sword Sect is also one of the eight major sects, and in this Hidden Dragon Competition, there must be something to get hold of!"

Lu Chen was stunned, and said with an embarrassed expression: "But the disciple is good at using soft swords, this heavy sword is for me to use, I'm afraid it's not suitable!" Of course, this is false, he is the descendant of the Peerless Sword Saint, how can he not use the heavy sword, he just wants to hide his identity!

"It's okay, I'll find you a book of swordsmanship secrets for cultivating heavy swords when I go back, there is still a period of time before the Hidden Dragon Competition, you are extremely talented, plus I personally guide you, I believe you will be able to master it soon, maybe, you will be the new generation of unparalleled sword saints of the Sword Sect in the future!" Murong Xuan had a smile on his face, full of expectations for Lu Chen.

"Peerless Sword Saint?" Lu Chen is also looking forward to such a day!

Murong Xuan said with a straight face: "Lu Chen, I have something to ask you solemnly, are you willing to be my closed disciple?"

"Sect Master, are you going to take me as an apprentice?" Hearing Murong Xuan's words, Lu Chen was slightly startled, it seemed that Murong Xuan valued him very much!

Lu Chen was a little hesitant, it wasn't that he didn't want to, in fact, before he entered the Sword Sect, he had already joined the Heavenly Machine Sect of the Hidden World Sect, and Master Yao Chi was his mentor, and now he has switched to someone else's sect, is this considered a deviance?

In the future, how should he explain his identity when he returns to Tianjimen, and how should he face his master Yao Chi?

"What are you hesitating about?" Murong Xuan saw Lu Chen's hesitant expression, looking puzzled, according to common sense, changing to other disciples, this is an opportunity that can't be exchanged for a thousand gold, and being able to place it under the sect master's door is the source of blessings cultivated in the previous life.

Lu Chen pondered for a moment, his expression was a little embarrassed: "Sect Master, it's really not a secret, before the disciple joined the Sword Sect, he worshipped a Yunyou Daoist as a teacher, and he taught me to learn art for three years, and then asked me to go down the mountain to find an opportunity on my own, so the disciple will come to the Sword Sect later!"

"Yunyou Daoist, which sect is he, can you explain it in detail!" Murong Xuan heard this, a pair of thick eyebrows suddenly tightened, he never expected that Lu Chen had already worshiped under other people's sects long before joining the sect!

Yunyou Daoist is naturally his mentor Yao Chi, but he concealed his joining Tianjimen, and he didn't want to expose all his identity and origin.

"Shizun's name is Yao Chi, he travels all over the world all the year round, and he has no fixed place, as for what kind of sect disciple he is, I don't know, but when his old man saw that I had good roots and extraordinary talents, he accepted me as an apprentice, and after carefully teaching the disciple for three years, Shizun threw his hand and left, so that I can see my own creation in the future! The disciple swears that he has no second heart for the Sword Sect. Lu Chen said respectfully, most of the facts were fabricated by him out of thin air, of course, he was just trying to protect the Tianji Gate from being known to the world!

"The master leads you into the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual! No wonder, you are so young and your strength is so amazing, it turns out that there is a master behind the teaching. Murong Xuan saw that Lu Chen's face was sincere, without any treacherous expression, and he was convinced of his words.

Lu Chen smiled bitterly: "That's why the disciple will hesitate, the sect master must not be surprised!"

"Naturally not, how can I be the master of a sect with you!" Murong Xuan put his hands behind his back and laughed loudly: "As the saying goes, if you are a threesome, you must have my teacher." I believe that your master did see that you had good bones back then, so he accepted you as an apprentice. But now that your master is not there, no one will teach you, it is like a blind man touching an elephant, and the path of cultivation is bound to take a detour, I am for your good, and I have not forced you to do anything that violates your conscience, I believe that your master is also an open-minded person, and will not be the kind of old stubbornness that sticks to the rules!"

"Lu Chen, the road of cultivation is a long way to go, although you have a small achievement now, but don't be too arrogant, the road ahead is more tortuous than you imagined, there is no famous teacher to guide you, no matter how talented you are, if you go farther and farther on the side road, then your good years will be a waste!"

"Of course, if you want to be my apprentice, it's up to you, I won't force it on you!" Murong Xuan said earnestly, as if an elder cared about his juniors.

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, what Murong Xuan said was not unreasonable, although he joined the Tianji Sect, the sect did not object to his rule of worshipping others as teachers.

Isn't the purpose of apprenticeship to improve oneself and become stronger step by step?
