Chapter 88: 088, [The True Natural Sword Embryo)
Translator: 549690339
Lu Xun, the Fake Natural Sword Embryo, was now facing a genuine Natural Sword Embryo.
His title was blurted out by people like Shen Yan, a figment of their imagination.
They were deluding themselves with this idea, but Lu Xun certainly didn’t protest. Just for the sake of gaining the “Reputation Value,” he was taking this title of a Natural Sword Embryo for his own. If anyone dared to question it, they’d have him to answer to!
But in his heart of hearts, he knew he wasn’t one. He knew just how ludicrous a genuine Natural Sword Embryo could be!
Such as the poor little mute girl before him now.
At this moment, he couldn’t help but sigh, “I have to say…Both One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain are pretty pitiful. For the Sects established on the principle of the sword, it seems that no Natural Sword Embryo has appeared since the first Sect Leader of Sword Mountain.”
The Demon Sect, One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain have long-standing disputes. After all, Yan Li still holds the title of the world’s first Sword Cultivator. If they were to publicly announce — “Let me lay my cards on the table, our Demon Sect has two Natural Sword Embryos!” Who knows how One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Mountain would react…
Up until now, Lu Xun, by adding points, only managed to increase his Swordsmanship Aptitude to 3. While a Natural Sword Embryo starts life with a scary full score of 10.
Even during his time playing “Heavenly Dust,” no player had ever reached a full score; the highest ever was only 8.
After all, the level cap had only been raised to 60, the game hadn’t even entered its late stages yet.
And indeed, Special Attribute Points are very rare. Lu Xun’s quick acquisition of three points took some cunning tricks.
At this time, Lin Chan had finished cleaning up the bowl and chopsticks. Lu Xun didn’t tell her to leave, and she didn’t dare to leave on her own, waiting for Lu Xun’s instructions.
She was really too thin. Now, she was standing there, head down, her little
hands clutching the corners of her clothes. It looked quite pitiful.
He had invited her for a meal, yet it had ended up looking like he was bullying her. Lu Xun found this both funny and a little depressing.
He sat on the stone bench, his face showing rare seriousness, and said solemnly, “I see you have a good destiny for cultivation. I’d like to take you as my disciple. Would you be willing?”
Yes, he had decided to take Lin Chan as his pupil.
This wasn’t about making her a Sword Servant Girl, but about accepting her as a direct disciple.
A Natural Sword Embryo, oh, a Natural Sword Embryo. Not accepting her would be a fool’s decision, wouldn’t it?
This would greatly help him in building his power.
As for in her previous life, after Lin Chan entered the inner gate of the Demon Sect, her master was… Shen Yan.
It seemed she was brought up the mountain by one of Shen Yan’s disciples, and during the selection process, Little Mute chose Shen Yan. This finally gave Shen Yan’s lineage a disciple they could be proud of, and what a proud disciple she was!
To nurture Lin Chan, Shen Yan, as a tightfisted man, had to change his character and become more generous. But his mentoring skills remained poor, causing the other Peak Masters to lament that Shen Yan was hindering Lin Chan’s cultivation. They believed she would progress faster without him!
Regarding this, Lu Xun believed there was some truth to it. Just like how some people are knowledgeable but may not necessarily mentor similarly knowledgeable disciples.
Lu Xun’s abilities to mentor… were essentially zero.
But he thought he should be better than Shen Yan, who had the knack for creating problems for his disciples.
Moreover, his identity was special, his seniority extremely high, his True Disciple would be equivalent to being of the same generation as Shen Yan and the other Peak Masters.
Shen Yan and the other Peak Masters wouldn’t point out things to each other’s disciples, but then Lin Chan would be their junior sister. It would be quite appropriate for a senior brother to teach a junior sister, wouldn’t it?
When the time comes, he would only need to remind Lin Chan not to listen to Shen Yan at all costs.
Besides, he had his senior brothers and sisters from the back mountain helping him. He didn’t think accepting Lin Chan as his disciple would hamper her growth.
