Martial Arts Crossover: Infiltrating a Girls' Chat Group at the Start

Then, he discovered that he couldn't see through Lin Zhu's strength at all; he felt like Lin Zhu was just an ordinary person.

But how could someone who can appear here be an ordinary person?

Dugu Jian looked at Lin Zhu and asked, "Are these your friends, young friend?"

“Yes, Sword Saint Senior,” Lin Zhu replied.

Only then did everyone realize that this was Dugu Jian, the Sword Saint of Wushuang City.

What about the remaining two?

Ximen Chuixue bowed to the Sword Saint with a sword salute, saying, "Junior Ximen Chuixue greets Senior Sword Saint."

"So you are Ximen Chuixue. Not bad, you're already a Grandmaster before you're even thirty, that's rare in the world." Dugu Jian looked at Ximen Chuixue, his admiration growing stronger.

Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang exchanged a glance. "This is rare in the world? It seems that this Sword Saint senior doesn't know Brother Lin's age yet, otherwise he wouldn't have this attitude."

The two of them had a vague idea in their minds: they wanted to see what kind of expression this senior would have later.

Chapter 328 Duan Siping: Young Friend Lin Has the Art of Preserving His Youth

However, there is an art to speaking. You can't just say that Brother Lin is sixteen years old, because that would make the three seniors think that you are deliberately embarrassing them.

A swordsman is straightforward and direct.

Dugu Jian felt that Ximen Chuixue was suitable to inherit his swordsmanship, so he asked, "Young man, would you be willing to become my disciple?"

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes lit up. No, Ximen has already latched onto a powerful figure? That's a terrestrial immortal! They saw it clearly from the ground before; even the tribulation clouds were shattered by that incredibly powerful move.

Although Ximen Chuixue came from a family with a long tradition of learning, the family's inheritance was only so-so, and he mostly relied on his own understanding to master the swordsmanship.

At this moment, he would naturally be willing to have a guide at the level of a terrestrial immortal.

"Disciple Ximen Chuixue greets Master."

"Hahaha, good!" Dugu Jian was overjoyed to have successfully gained a disciple, and pointed a finger at Ximen Chuixue.

Ximen Chuixue had no time to dodge.

Then Dugu Jian said, "This is my Holy Spirit Sword Technique. With your talent in swordsmanship, you should be able to quickly master it. With a little understanding on this basis, you will be able to create your own swordsmanship and reach the pinnacle."

After receiving the inheritance, Ximen Chuixue bowed and thanked his master, saying, "Thank you very much, Master."

Lin Zhu congratulated from the side, saying, "Senior is delighted to have gained such a fine disciple, and congratulations also to Brother Ximen for finding a renowned teacher."

When Dugu Sheng saw that Dugu Jian had taken on such a disciple, he also looked around the crowd and found quite a few swordsmen with excellent aptitude.

Two of them caught his eye; both were robust men who looked more like generals than swordsmen.

They each held a heavy sword in their hands, at least at the third level of their swordsmanship: the heavy sword has no edge, and great skill lies in simplicity.

It's a pity that I've already taken on another apprentice. Otherwise, I would like to take on one here, just like Dugu Jian, and then have a match with Ximen Chuixue.

Ah Fei is still too young.

Along with Lin Zhu's congratulations, Lu Xiaofeng, Chu Liuxiang, and others who were acquainted with Ximen Chuixue also offered their congratulations.

Then there were the other swordsmen.

Many swordsmen looked on with envy; this was a sword saint, a terrestrial immortal.

But some people didn't envy them, like Yan Shisan, those two burly swordsmen.

By the way, Bu Jingyun was also with Yan Shisan. I wonder why Xiong Ba released him as well.

With Dugu Jian's breakthrough, is Dugu Yifang going to get arrogant this time?

Finally, Dugu Sheng and Duan Siping also offered their congratulations.

"Alright, alright, you're all congratulating me on taking on a disciple. Weren't you leaving? Hurry up and leave!"

Dugu Jian started to chase people away.

Dugu Sheng snorted and was about to leave, but Duan Siping was very curious about Lin Zhu and couldn't help but ask, "Young friend Lin, are you a disciple of the Sword Sect?"

Dugu Sheng and Dugu Jian both looked over, and only then did they realize that the sword intent they had encountered in the Sword Tomb was indeed somewhat similar to that of the Sword Sect.

Lin Zhu shook his head, "I can only say that I obtained some of the Sword Sect's inheritance by chance. I can't be considered to have been taught by the Sword Sect, nor do I have any specific lineage."

"So, young friend, you must be a member of the Taoist sect. You truly have the art of preserving your youth." Duan Siping looked at his graying hair and was still quite envious of Lin Zhu.

Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but turn their heads away, their smiles barely concealed.

Lin Zhu's lips twitched as well, "This junior doesn't claim to have any special skills in preserving youth. I'm only sixteen years old this year, and I already look like this."

Sixteen years old, a very ordinary age.

But it was unusual when Lin Zhu said that he was still his own age.

When did a sixteen-year-old kid become able to compete with the three of them?

If they were sixteen, wouldn't they all have died young?

What were they doing when they were sixteen?

It was around the time when I first entered the martial arts world, and I was doing chivalrous deeds.

But this kid, at sixteen, is on par with those three old men!

He was stunned for a moment.

After a long pause, Duan Siping said, "Young friend, please don't joke around."

Ximen Chuixue then said, "Senior, Brother Lin is indeed sixteen this year. When I met him two years ago, he was fourteen, yet he was already a Grandmaster."

In just two years, he went from a Grandmaster to a half-step Celestial Realm cultivator. What kind of monstrous cultivation speed is that?

Everyone present gasped in shock.

This isn't human, it's practically a monster.

Even Ximen Chuixue, who uttered those words, now looked back and realized that it had only been two years. Not only had he broken through the threshold from Grandmaster to the pinnacle, but he was also able to have an equal conversation with these three. It was simply unbelievable.

Dugu Jian looked at Lin Zhu and said, "I wouldn't be surprised if you entered the Heavenly Realm in two years. Within ten years, you should have a place in the Land Immortal Realm."

Is this statement an exaggeration?

Dugu Sheng and Duan Siping thought it was an exaggeration, but when they saw that it was Lin Zhu, they thought it made perfect sense.

Who is this person? A sixteen-year-old who is half a step into the Celestial Realm.

How old were they when they reached the half-step Celestial Realm?

Dugu Jian is over eighty years old, almost ninety, just recently.

Dugu Sheng and Dugu Jian were the same age. Dugu Sheng was a half-step Celestial Being ten years ago, when he was over seventy years old.

As for Duan Siping, he was even older at that time, almost a hundred years old.

Looking at Lin Zhu now, he couldn't feel any jealousy at all; the difference was too great.

For a moment, all three of them felt a little old.

Lin Zhu didn't feign modesty when Dugu Jian judged him; he simply smiled.

Just as Dugu Sheng was about to leave.

In the group chat, Dongfang Bai sent a message: By the way, little brother, could you please give my regards to Master and tell him that I have found my little sister?

Lin Zhu: Received.

"Senior Dugu, please wait a moment."

Dugu Sheng turned to look at Lin Zhu, knowing that he was being addressed. "Is there anything else, young friend?"

"Sister Dongfang asked me to tell you that she has found her sister, so you don't need to worry."

"Xiao Bai?" Dugu Sheng smiled and nodded when he heard about Dongfang Bai. He was quite satisfied with his eldest disciple. Although he was a bit older when he started learning martial arts, his aptitude was quite good.

I should be at the halfway point of the pinnacle now.

"Yes." Lin Zhu nodded. "She is now at the pinnacle as well."

"Oh!" Dugu Sheng miscalculated, but he was overjoyed. He had broken through to the pinnacle before the age of forty. Although he was not as good as Lin Zhu, it was still a pleasant surprise.

It must be some extraordinary encounter, like him, where he found a treasure land and obtained a lot of resources, which enabled him to break through to the pinnacle before the age of sixty.

For most people, improving their skills is easy; all they need are resources.

But reaching that level is difficult!

But for Dugu Sheng, while reaching higher realms was easy, he didn't have enough resources to sustain his efforts.

"If you meet her again, tell her to go back to Sword Valley and meet her junior brother."

"I will definitely deliver it."

Chapter 329 Retrieving the Sword Yuan

Dugu Sheng and Duan Siping are really gone this time, leaving behind a sense of disbelief.

Of course, it is more about the sharpness that leads to the supreme realm of immortals on earth.

Why is it that Dugu Jian broke through, but they couldn't?

It makes no sense that someone could go from a half-step Celestial Being to a terrestrial immortal in a single enlightenment.

Since things are already so unreasonable, we won't miss the two of them.

But is breaking through really that easy?

Let's return our attention to Baijian Manor.

At this time, because the Sword Saint had broken through to the Land Immortal Realm, the sword essence of the peerless sword avoided its sharpness and failed to be successfully conceived.

However, it absorbed the essence of swordsmanship from the Sword Saint's breakthrough, and its sword essence was honed to perfection.

Unable to suppress it any longer, a powerful sword intent erupted, breaking through the limitations of the sword furnace and transforming into a phantom in the air.

Ao Tian exclaimed excitedly, "The sword essence is complete! The sword essence is complete!"

After the cheers subsided, he felt a pang of heartache when he thought that although the sword was born in the Sword Worship Manor, it was not his own.

Everyone quickly entered the sword furnace, including Lin Zhu and Dugu Jian.
