Wan Jian returns to his clan!

Chapter 113 A jinx, but the expected outcome.

"Really? That's great."

Yue Lingfeng swallowed hard, completely at a loss for words.

Can you say that your guidance is better than that of your junior sister?

Even if he were a blockhead, he would know that saying such things would only upset his junior sister.

However, given Ouyang Lan's swordsmanship level, how much skill could her junior brothers possibly possess?

This is utterly ridiculous.

Don't the master and mistress care?
It must have been that Master and Mistress secretly gave Ninth Junior Brother special treatment.

Could it be that Master and Mistress are treating Huichuntang differently because they have enough money and show their sincerity?

Yue Lingfeng's eyes were slightly blank as he looked at the two figures in the direction of the Ancestral Master's Cave. A disrespectful thought flashed through his mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

Although the Lu family did send a large amount of gold, silver and jade a few days ago, my master and mistress are not that kind of people.

The Three Trials of Sword Gate at the Ancestral Master Cave cannot be faked, especially the internal strength test.

If your internal strength isn't sufficient, let alone passing the three trials, the first trial's ironwood puppet shows no mercy under the sword; it flies away the moment it touches the sword. What's the point of fighting then?
"If your internal strength is insufficient, Ninth Junior Brother should be more cautious. If you are truly outmatched, retreat early to avoid injury."

Yue Lingfeng thought for a moment, then gently patted Lu Wubing's shoulder. He probed out with a wisp of energy and found that the other party's internal energy was strong and his skin and flesh were firm, which did not seem like the appearance of someone with weak internal strength.

This physique and aura are more than just the result of having all three meridians open. Even if someone told him that his Ninth Junior Brother had already opened all six meridians, he would believe it.

A sense of surprise and doubt washed over me.

"Thank you for your care, Senior Brother. My internal strength is sufficient."

My master was overjoyed to see that I had saved Junior Sister Su, and rewarded me with a Medicine King Valley Heart Cleansing Pill…

This pill is extraordinary. After taking it, my skill improved greatly within a few days, which gave me the confidence to try my luck at the Sword Gate Pass.

"Oh, oh, I see. The Heart Cleansing Pill, that's truly remarkable."

Yue Lingfeng felt a pang of sadness.

However, considering that this was a reward for Ninth Junior Brother saving his fellow disciples, there seemed to be nothing to question.

As soon as I rushed forward that night, the sword flew away.

It's utterly unremarkable...

Compared to me, my junior brother is much better at saving lives with his acupuncture and putting out fires everywhere.

"As for swordsmanship, I have already mastered the thirteen basic moves. Give it a try."

Lu Wubing said sincerely.

At this point, whether one is humble or not is no longer important.

Anyway, everyone will be able to see whether or not we can pass the challenge later.

My master instructed me not to display my perfect swordsmanship skills.

I imagine that passing through the Ancestral Master's Cave and obtaining the qualification to learn advanced sword techniques shouldn't be too difficult.

"If things are beyond our control, we shouldn't force it." Yue Lingfeng chuckled, but inwardly he didn't agree.

Fourth Senior Brother Zhang Dexing, however, was full of excitement. "Ninth Junior Brother, don't worry too much. Go as far as you can. Of course, if you can't defeat them, it's okay to retreat. As long as you can learn advanced sword techniques, there's plenty of time in the future."

Fifth Senior Brother Zheng Yuanbin appeared out of nowhere, just like when we first met him on the mountain. He didn't say a word, his expression was indifferent, and he was just holding the long sword in his arms as if he were holding his wife.

The sixth senior brother, Yuan Fei, was different. He sneered and said, "When I was about to pass the test, I practiced swordsmanship with my eldest senior brother day and night until my bones were about to break. I barely passed the second test and could be considered to have barely passed."

Ninth Junior Brother, I heard your swordsmanship used to be mediocre. Practicing with Junior Sister, haha... you'd better not be careless."

"Sixth Senior Brother, are you very powerful? How about we have a spar?"

Ouyang Lan was dissatisfied.

It's not a big deal to say that the junior brother's swordsmanship is bad.

But to say that his teaching skills were inadequate was something his uncle could tolerate, but his aunt couldn't. "Uh, how could I possibly beat my junior sister..."

Yuan Fei quickly covered his mouth, realizing he had accidentally blurted out his thoughts. If his junior sister held a grudge and challenged him to sword duels every day, that would be terrible.

They dare not fight back, and feel resentful when they lose.

"What I mean is that in our Tianxing Sect, only our eldest brother passed the third trial and chose the Shadowless Sword from the Fierce Tiger Pass, causing the disciples of the three branches to fall silent at the same time."

As for Ninth Junior Brother, it's enough if he can pass two trials and learn the Seven Star Sword. Don't be too ambitious, as you can really get injured while trying to pass the trials.

If this were forced, many disciples would have perished in the Ancestral Master's Cave.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Lan and Lin Wenjing both frowned, their gazes towards Yuan Fei filled with displeasure.

That's a bad omen.

Can't you speak properly?
"Sixth Junior Brother, say less. Ninth Junior Brother's swordsmanship is extraordinary, and we should look forward to seeing him."

Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Yue Lingfeng quickly tried to smooth things over.

He thought to himself that his sixth junior brother was good in every way, except that he was too outspoken and always said the truth.

"Thank you for your advice, Sixth Senior Brother."

Lu Wubing wasn't annoyed at all. Instead, he smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, thinking to himself that one should interpret things the other way around. The fact that the eldest brother had passed the third test had shocked all the disciples of the three lineages.

Then we absolutely have to get through this third level.

We will never let our senior brother steal the spotlight.

"Then I'll go."

Lu Wubing turned around and walked a few steps quickly.

Master and Mistress are already waiting.

"If you can get through the third level, then go for it. If it's too dangerous, then turn back."

Ouyang Lan thought about it for a while, but was still worried, so she followed closely behind and gave her detailed instructions.

“I will be careful. That Shadowless Sword, I remember it's a unique skill from Tiger's Lair, isn't it? Could it be that it can be learned directly in the Ancestral Master's Cave?”

"More than that, as long as you keep going, I've heard that you can learn not only the Shadowless Sword, but also the Glass Body, and even the Myriad Manifestations Net."

However, this isn't something we can hope for in our first trial... Father only obtained this ultimate skill after reaching the first rank and successfully cultivating the [Vast Ocean Divine Art], before venturing into the Ancestral Master's Cave.

Ouyang Lan winked mysteriously and whispered, "The first advancement test is the most important; it's about choosing your path."

The number of levels you can pass and the talent and aptitude you demonstrate will determine the martial arts techniques you can learn.

For example, the eldest disciple possesses exceptional agility and exquisite swordsmanship, making him well-suited for the "Shadowless and Formless" style. The Ancestral Master felt he was suited to this swordsmanship and thus allowed him to choose it.

"What about you, Senior Sister Xiaolan?"

"Don't ask so many questions. If you keep nagging like this... Father is getting impatient."

Ouyang Lan blushed slightly, gave Lu Wubing a gentle push, and stood down beside her mother.

"Go into the cave, but do what you can, and don't be greedy."

Ouyang Zheng had a solemn expression, exuding the air of a sect leader.

Qin Huaiying smiled kindly, stepped forward, and straightened Lu Wuyi's collar. "Good child, don't worry. As long as you stay calm and patient, you have a good chance of passing the three trials of Jianmen. Once you pass, your master's wife will give you a gift."

"Thank you, Master."

Lu Wubing always felt that his master's wife's gaze towards him was very complicated, as if she had high expectations, but secretly there was a murderous aura that seemed to be creeping into his collar.

He glanced at his senior sister Xiaolan, who was secretly clenching her fist to encourage him, and he vaguely understood something.

He smiled slightly and stepped into the Ancestral Master Cave.
