Chapter 1025: Sword Hut Ceremony

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although he did not sell himself, when Lu Shu thought about how news that he was very good-looking had spread throughout the entire Luniverse, he knew the truth about his appearance. The citizens of the Luniverse felt that he was good-looking, but when he returned to Earth, it would return to the way it was before.

Furthermore, he had to go back eventually.

But this was a very mysterious experience. Young people had always imagined how great it would be if they were good-looking or rich. Young people loved to dream. This was the meaning of being young and frivolous.

During that age, everyone lived in a dream. After they woke up, they would spend the rest of their lives reminiscing about it.

Lu Shu felt that he was thinking too much about it… but forget it. It would not be bad to recall that there was once a period when thousands of people fawned over him when he was old.

At that moment, he came to the Sword Hut ceremony. It was simply a wide lawn. There were no chairs for people to sit on.

This was a rule imposed by the head of the Sword Hut back then. The Sword Hut ceremony was an opportunity for people to observe swordplay and the experience of the Sword Hut disciples. The Sword Hut ceremony was like a standard for people to see whether they had taken a detour in their path of training.

Of course, it was best for them to walk on their own path. But no matter how good it was, the path of the Sword Hut would be better.

To the people outside the Sword Hut, the swordplay performances during the Sword Hut ceremony was for them to see how strong the Sword Hut was.

Thus, there were no seats or ushers. Even if the four Lords of Heaven came, they were not treated as VIPs. They were just people who had come to observe swordplay. No one had invited them.

There were times when Lu Shu felt that the head of the Sword Hut was very intimidating. To Lu Shu, they were even more intimidating than the King of G.o.ds.

But since this was the case, why did the head of the Sword Hut not dictate the situation?

Lu Shu saw Duanmu Huangqi approaching in the distance. His expression was calm. It felt as if a battle would break out between them.

Suddenly, Lu Shu felt a burning gaze. He turned around and saw a girl dressed in purple and sitting on a white lion. The white lion was on par with Gu Lingfei’s black leopard.

Although no one had organized this, and anyone could come to the lawn and watch, once the four Lords of Heaven came, the ordinary civilians did not dare to sit with them.

Thus, there was a clear boundary between the four Lords of Heaven and the ordinary civilians. The civilians of the palace, and even the disciples of the Sword Hut who had returned all stood far behind the Lords of Heaven.

The girl dressed in purple was a Lord of Heaven. It was very likely that she was Yu Fuyao, the East Lord of Heaven!

Suddenly, the white flame in Lu Shu’s heart, that had been silent for a long time, suddenly jumped wildly. It jumped at an unprecedented speed, causing Lu Shu’s celestial map to become disorderly!

This was only temporary. Lu Shu restrained his flame and looked. He saw Yu Fuyao observing him with deep interest.

Lu Shu could see Wen Zaifou smiling at him with his arms folded through the corner of his eye. When Wen Zaifou realized that Lu Shu was looking at him, he even winked at Lu Shu.

But Lu Shu did not care about this. He simply wanted to know why the white flame had jumped because of Yu Fuyao!

The white flame was typically silent, unless he was in a hopeless situation. Typically, it would not do anything. But what had just happened?

Suddenly, he heard Yu Fuyao’s voice. The voice was seductive, as if it was able to rouse the most instinctual parts of humans. “Will you come with me to the East Capital? I will disperse everyone else in the palace and accompany only you.”

But before Lu Shu could say anything, Wen Zaifou stood in front of Yu Fuyao and interrupted her with a smile. “Why don’t you let me go with you? I’m more good-looking than him, right?”

Yu Fuyao lay on the head of the white lion and laughed. She looked like a seductress who had brought calamity to the country and its people. “Wen Zaifou, do you want me to speak the truth?”

Wen Zaifou plucked his eyebrows. “Sure.”

“You are not as good-looking as he is,” said Yu Fuyao. As she spoke, her purple clothes fluttered in the wind.

From the very beginning, Duanmu Huangqi and Qing Kong had not spoken.

Lu Shu had never seen Duanmu Huangqi. Even when Lu Shu was oppressed by him, he had remained in his carriage.

On the other hand, Qing Kong was an old man. His eyes were half open, as if he was going to fall asleep.

Yu Fuyao turned and looked at Qing Kong. “Old man, what are you doing in the palace?”

“Ah?” Qing Kong woke up. “Since all of you are here, I should come too, right? I want to see what you are all up to.”

At that moment, there was a sudden sound of a sword being unsheathed from the sky that interrupted their conversation. Everyone who had come to observe the Sword Hut ceremony fell silent!

Turning clouds into a sword was the method that the senior disciple of the Sword Hut had used to save Lu Shu from Duanmu Huangqi. It was also one of the swordplay performances during the Sword Hut ceremony.

But before the sword could form, dark clouds quickly came over, as if they were about to surround the sword!

Lu Shu realized that the waves of energy had come from Duanmu Huangqi’s carriage. No matter whether it was Yu Fuyao, Qing Kong, or Wen Zaifou, they all subconsciously looked at the carriage!

Duanmu Huangqi was about to disrupt the Sword Hut ceremony and destroy the Sword Hut’s prestige!

But… where did Duanmu Huangqi’s confidence come from?

The next moment, the dark clouds suddenly formed a ma.s.sive python and gathered around the cloud sword. It was as if it was going to strangle the cloud sword!

The palace civilians did not know what was happening. The appearance of the ma.s.sive python caused the civilians to panic. The wealthy families watching who were observing the ceremony looked very uneasy. No one knew what they were thinking about.

The cloud sword did not react. The dark python did not seem to give the cloud sword an opportunity to breathe. It had constricted the cloud sword. Its scales rubbed against the sword, causing an ear-piercing sound of metal. This caused the civilians in the palace to vomit blood.

No one expected two clouds to be able to create such a sound, but people below Rank Three could not stand this sound!

So this was the strength of a master. Lu Shu sighed. It seemed as if Duanmu Huangqi had the upper hand. The senior disciple of the Sword Hut was very strong right? Was Duanmu Huangqi on drugs? Why was he so ferocious?

Before Lu Shu could think it through, the dark clouds and the white cloud exploded at the same time. The cloud sword broke through the dark python before breaking into pieces!

There was a low groan from Duanmu Huangqi’s carriage. He had been greatly affected.

Suddenly, Gu Lingfei, who was sitting on the black leopard, said, “Do you think you are very strong after advancing one level? After watching the swordplay performances of past years, did you think that you could defeat the senior disciple? But… the past swordplay performances had been done by me. Duanmu Huangqi, you should know that masters have their strengths and weaknesses.”

So that was the case. Duanmu Huangqi had thought that the senior discipline performances had been done by the senior disciple of the Sword Hut. After he had broken through, he had thought that he could defeat them, but he did not expect that the senior disciple himself had performed this year!
