Chapter 888
"What? Senior Sister Qinglian actually lost?"
"How is this possible? Senior Sister Qinglian has already lost, doesn't that mean that Junior Brother Chen Xuan is now superior to most second-generation disciples?"
"It's true what they say, comparisons are odious. We didn't even get a chance to fight our junior brother before he defeated us. This..."
These second-generation disciples were already quite different from Senior Sister Qinglian. Now that Qinglian has been defeated in the Hall of Proof of the Dao, doesn't this situation show that they are no match for Chen Xuan either?
"Hmph, this is ultimately just a discussion on the Dao at the Hall of Proof." Haoyue's face turned as red as a pig's liver. Although she was extremely jealous of the strength Chen Xuan had displayed, she still tried to cheer herself up.
"The discussions in the Hall of Proving the Dao are merely about the insights into the Dao, not the entirety of a cultivator's abilities. In the life-or-death battles in the wilderness, the outcome is still uncertain."
Haoyue's words were like a thunderclap, waking many from their dreams.
As mentioned, when cultivators fight in the wild, their understanding of the Dao and its power are only one aspect. Other factors, such as secret techniques, supernatural abilities, magical treasures, Dao talismans, and even favorable timing and location, must all be taken into consideration.
“Yes, what Junior Brother Haoyue said is very true. For example, Senior Brother Shanhe specializes in the Divine Demon Body Refinement Path. He is not good at discussing the Dao, but if he were placed in the wild, even Senior Sister Qinglian would probably be no match for him. After all, a Divine Demon Body Refinement cultivator who has mastered supernatural powers is practically invincible in the wild. He is too powerful.”
Even so, most of the senior brothers and sisters now acknowledged Chen Xuanzhi's strength and extraordinary talent.
"Senior sister, you flatter me."
As the light shield of the great formation slowly descended, Chen Xuan was the first to bow to Senior Sister Qinglian, speaking with humility and politeness.
After being defeated in public by a newly recruited junior brother, Senior Sister Qinglian's face turned slightly pale. Fortunately, her Dao heart was as firm as a rock, and she quickly recovered after a short while.
Hearing Chen Xuan's humble words, she smiled knowingly and said slowly, "I never imagined that you, Junior Brother, would have such profound attainments in the art of lotus magic. Once you become a disciple of Master, if you have the time, you must come to my Azure Lotus Peak so that we can have another discussion."
As a new disciple, after sweeping aside three generations of disciples in succession, and even defeating him in public, he did not show the slightest arrogance or conceit. Instead, he remained calm and humble as he spoke with them.
Senior Sister Qinglian came from a non-small tribe or was not a rogue cultivator. She knew all too well what kind of powerful Dao heart it would take to forge such a state of mind.
Therefore, she felt even more strongly that her junior brother Chen Xuan's future achievements were limitless.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan smiled and nodded in response, "Just now, Senior Sister's lotus magic formation really put me under a lot of pressure, and I had the same thought."
Upon hearing this, Senior Sister Qinglian gently smoothed the strands of hair at her temples, smiled sweetly at Chen Xuan, and said, "Then it's a deal between us. If Junior Brother dares to break his promise to me, Senior Sister will not let him off easily."
This subtle exchange on the field, made no attempt to conceal it, and immediately reached the ears of the senior disciples in the spectator stands. Those who knew the backstories of Qinglian and Haoyue all turned their gazes toward Haoyue, whose expression was grim.
In reality, even if a newly recruited junior disciple performs exceptionally well in the Hall of Enlightenment, at most the senior disciples will feel that he has great potential for the future and want to befriend him. They will usually wait until he has officially entered the sect before visiting him together to express their goodwill.
Inside the Hall of Proof of the Dao, they made a pact to secretly discuss the Dao at the mountain peak of the old disciples, a first since the beginning of time.
No wonder all the third-generation disciples were focused on Haoyue. Given this situation, they would never believe that Senior Sister Qinglian had no other feelings for Junior Brother Chen Xuan.
"Damn it, Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan..." Haoyue's hateful gaze was fixed on Chen Xuan, and a hint of killing intent was faintly revealed in her eyes, as if she wanted to devour Chen Xuan alive.
However, as a newcomer, Chen Xuan would not know such secrets. He simply felt that Senior Sister Qinglian's magic would be beneficial to him and could help him improve, so he readily agreed in front of everyone.
