You promised yourself to be a caged bird, but you became the supreme young master?

"Thank you for the concession, it was a stroke of luck." Turning his back to Lu Boyong, Lu Heng sheathed his sword and spoke calmly.

Those around who heard this couldn't help but comment that this guy looked so nonchalant, yet showed no sign of taking any chances.

At the same time, the shock in my heart was almost overflowing.

One sword strike, just one sword strike.

Lu Boyong, who was also at the third level of the Body Refining Secret Realm, had mastered the beginner-level "Basic Sword Technique" and even wielded the low-grade spiritual weapon Flowing Water Sword, was already defeated.

Most of the onlookers from the same batch of outer courtyards couldn't even see the sword strike clearly.

"Beginner's Ultimate Sword Technique!!! Beginner's Ultimate Sword Technique!!! Completed in just 20 days..."

This isn't just a combat genius; this is clearly a top-tier genius in the field of combat techniques!!!

Just starting out, advanced beginner, beginner limit. Only when there is a gap of two whole levels in between is it possible to crush an opponent who possesses a low-grade spiritual weapon.

The middle-aged man with blue eyes couldn't help but mutter to himself. As a cultivator in the Qi Refining Secret Realm, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise at this moment.

Top-tier genius, what does that even mean?

Even within the main family of the inner courtyard, it might take several years to produce a top genius.

This is the true value of being a top-tier genius!

Even in the outer academy, ordinary geniuses often only produce two or three a year.

Of course, this is the level of a top genius in cultivation.

Even the most brilliant strategists cannot compare to him.

However, under normal circumstances, the emergence of a top genius in the outer academy, even in the field of combat tactics, would be a matter that would warrant reporting to the main family.

But thinking of Lu Heng's talent for cultivation, the middle-aged man with blue eyes silently extinguished the thought.

For cultivators, cultivation talent is fundamental. No matter how good one's combat skills are, the gap in cultivation realm is ultimately an insurmountable chasm.

Combat talent at most determines whether you can fight, but cultivation talent determines your final destination.

Furthermore, compared to the cultivation talent, which is the easiest to test, the combat talent is actually just as mysterious as the comprehension talent.

Perhaps the reason Lu Heng was able to raise the Basic Sword Technique to the beginner level in such a short time was not because he was a top genius in combat tactics.

It was because someone gave them guidance.

Once he calmed down, the middle-aged man with blue eyes immediately thought of Lu Qingyan, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

A genius in combat techniques, coupled with his current cultivation at the third level of the Body Refinement Secret Realm, clearly couldn't possibly only possess mediocre or below-average cultivation talent. Apart from that, the only other talent the middle-aged man with blue eyes could think of was comprehension.

A young man with a talent for comprehension and a genius in combat techniques, even if his talent for cultivation is average, is still above the passing grade.

It's not that the possibility of defying fate has been completely lost.

This might actually be the truth!

Furthermore, even if one reports it oneself, there is still a possibility that some low-minded family members might be jealous.

Top geniuses, even those specializing in combat tactics, are considered by those people to belong only to the main family.

As for separating the family, they are not worthy!

Did he want to ruin this seemingly promising young man?

The middle-aged man with blue eyes shook his head. Who cares? What does it have to do with him? Let's just pretend this never happened.

"Are you confident?" A young man from the main family patted the guy next to him.

"What are you so confident about?" a boy from the main family retorted, dissatisfied.

"In a one-on-one fight, are you confident you can defeat him?" the young man from the main family asked.

Almost instantly, he saw the boy in front of him, who also came from the same place, hesitate.

"If you bring a high-grade spiritual weapon, no, a mid-grade spiritual weapon will suffice," the other party finally replied.

The young man from the family who had asked the question fell silent for a moment.

Although neither of them awakened their family bloodline, among the young men of the main family, they could only be considered mediocre.

But at least they all possess above-average cultivation talent, and in terms of background, they are many times better off than the boy!

In this situation, even without considering magical artifacts, if the opponent is not confident of victory, then he is likely in the same predicament.

"So what? I've already inquired."

This guy only has below-average talent. Even if he has a certain chance of having comprehension talent, as a member of a branch family, he is not qualified to be compared with us in terms of cultivation.

"What good is having the talent for combat techniques? In the face of absolute cultivation, you can only be crushed!" The young man from the main family who was being questioned said calmly.

This is the true truth within the Lu family!

Even if they are just the most mediocre part of the main family, even if they only have average to above-average cultivation talent.

In reality, even the branch family members who are geniuses in cultivation cannot compare with them in terms of future prospects.

"Absolutely, absolutely," the young master of the household said repeatedly, speaking first.

………………

Meanwhile, Lu Heng had just stepped off the stage when he was pulled aside by Lu Jinnian, who looked anxious.

"What's wrong?" Lu Heng asked calmly.

At that moment, he realized that the tactics he had just displayed on stage might have been too overpowered.

But there's no other way; only by demonstrating that level of combat tactics can one just barely crush their opponent.

And he, in his first battle in this world, did not want to lose!

Besides, the performance has already been shown.

It's too late to say anything now.

Furthermore, seeing that Lu Jinnian didn't appear to be in a state of panic, Lu Heng could tell that the matter wasn't too serious, but it did have some consequences.

"Your combat talent is a bit over the top." Sure enough, Lu Jinnian said with a hint of helplessness.

"What level is it exactly?" Lu Heng asked curiously.

"Top-tier, genius-level combat skills."

It won't do anything to you, but once you're exposed and someone starts watching you, you'll have a hard time!

"To have improved 'Basic Swordsmanship' to this level in such a short time is truly outrageous!"

Lu Jinnian spoke slowly.

Aside from his initial confusion stemming from concern, he calmed down and realized that things weren't as serious as he had imagined.

"Is this the top-tier combat skill talent?" Lu Heng couldn't help but shake his head.

For him, the "Basic Body Refining Method," which he cultivated with all his might, was only equivalent to that of a top genius.

Even if he only reveals a fraction of his talent in combat tactics, he is still equivalent to a top-tier genius.

However, his "Basic Sword Techniques" is not the beginner's limit that most people imagine.

Yes, I've already reached the proficient level.

The reason is that during his cultivation improvement over the past few days, he unexpectedly discovered that he could cultivate again after each improvement.

Therefore, Lu Heng easily raised his Basic Sword Technique to the proficient level.

Of course, he also understood that this was because the panel had a unique advantage in terms of comprehension.

Compared to other sword techniques that still require further study.

All he needs to do is swing his sword again and again!

"Once this matter is over, at least for the next two or three months before the first evaluation, no one should bother me, right?"

Lu Heng looked at Lu Qingyan who was walking towards him.

"What is your request? Tell me?" came the girl's cool voice.
