The Eight Empresses Betrayed Me, Only to Deeply Regret It After Being Reborn-Chapter 18: Naturally Willing
The competition continued.
The Grand Dao Sect was truly impressive. A disciple competition that had to end in one day.
This was the efficiency of a major sect.
In other sects, it's common for a disciple competition to go on for days, sometimes even ten days or half a month.
Perhaps this is the style of the Grand Dao Sect.
If there's time to watch these young disciples pecking at each other in competition, it might be better to spend the time cultivating instead.
Didn't even see the Sect Master at such an event.
Ji Changming suspected that the reason the Grand Dao Sect set up a vice-sect master was because the Sect Master didn’t want to waste too much time managing the sect’s affairs.
Fifth round.
Lu Ye vs. Linghu Wushuang.
Linghu Wushuang had been defeated by Lu Ye before, so naturally, he knew Lu Ye's strength.
"I have already made up for my shortcomings, but it seems I am still not your match," Linghu Wushuang said.
This was the first time Lu Ye spoke during the competition.
"To know shame and gain courage, continuous improvement is the path of cultivation."
Linghu Wushuang paused for a moment.
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome."
"Then why are you always so harsh with your junior sister?" Linghu Wushuang asked, puzzled.
Lu Ye smiled and did not answer. He brought his two fingers together.
A sword intent gathered between his two fingers.
With a single point.
Linghu Wushuang’s mind immediately rang with alarm, as he watched the sword light speeding toward him. It felt as though he was witnessing the profound mysteries of the sword way.
"Feixia Observation of the Immortals!"
"Clink!"
The sword light collided with the sword light.
Countless bloodstreaks suddenly erupted on Linghu Wushuang’s body.
His steps retreated again and again, and he only managed to stop at the edge of the ring.
Lu Ye made no second move.
Linghu Wushuang’s mind vividly recalled the sword intent that had burst forth from the single point. He thought about it again and again, unable to forget.
"I concede!"
After conceding, Linghu Wushuang deeply bowed, jumped off the stage, and sat cross-legged, closing his eyes to comprehend.
Lu Ye turned and left.
One elder after another widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.
This sword intent?
Absolutely stunning!
Unbelievable!
Before this, all that Lu Ye had displayed were simple, powerful punches that solved battles, showing an overwhelming might.
But this sword intent, executed with just two fingers, revealed Lu Ye's swordsmanship, which was terrifying!
"White Qiulan’s disciple? I'll go ask Junior Sister Qiulan. She’s not a specialized sword cultivator, but this swordsmanship genius should definitely be taught by [N O V E L I G H T] me!"
"Ridiculous, you still can't beat me. It should be me who teaches him!"
"This sword energy is too incredible. I feel like I'm not even worthy to teach him. No, I need to find my master. My master will surely be ecstatic!"
A group of sword elders immediately became busy.
Some went to find White Qiulan, others went to seek their own masters.
Before, it was normal for Lu Ye to display immense power, after all, this was the Grand Dao Sect, and it wasn’t surprising to see a few monsters with great combat strength.
But the swordsmanship Lu Ye just displayed was no longer just about being a powerful genius in combat.
It was a rare swordsmanship seed, one that had only practiced for half a year and already reached such a level—simply... indescribable!
White Qiulan was quickly surrounded.
"Junior Sister Bai, did you see that? Lu Ye's greatest strength is actually his swordsmanship. You’re not particularly skilled in swordsmanship; how about you let Lu Ye be my disciple? If possible, I, from the Lonely Sword Peak, am willing to offer all the resources for the next three years to Bai Lan Peak!"
"I am willing to offer five years, Junior Sister Bai, you know me. My Sword Concealing Heavenly Sutra has been difficult to find a successor for, and now I finally have a good seed. If you don't give him to me, my Lonely Sword Peak will lose its heritage!"
"Junior Sister Bai, I am willing to offer twenty years of resources to you..."
White Qiulan looked at the figures all surrounding her, asking for Lu Ye, feeling a bit helpless.
What do you have to teach?
Lu Ye is not just terrifying in his swordsmanship, but in every path of cultivation, he is the most terrifying.
Don't say that you're his master—he could even take the position of your grandmaster's grandmaster, and he'd be able to manage it.
"Senior brothers, I'm sorry, Lu Ye belongs to Bai Lan Peak, and I really can't let him go to you all!" White Qiulan outright refused.
"Oh, Junior Sister, Lu Ye is at Bai Lan Peak, and your Bai Lan Peak cultivates magic arts. It's really such a waste!"
"Besides, you already have Chu Ling, so let Lu Ye be with us!"
"No, Lu Ye will absolutely not go to you. There's no room for discussion!" White Qiulan resolutely rejected.
Lu Ye watched this scene, raising an eyebrow.
It shouldn't be like this!
Is White Qiulan still acting as his master? Shouldn't she be treating him like a hot potato and quickly sending him out to avoid any further incidents like disrespecting the teacher or destroying the family?
"White disciple, I want Lu Ye!"
A powerful aura suddenly descended, and with his arrival, every sword in the area began to hum as if welcoming the master of swordsmanship.
The old man wore a black robe, carrying an ancient sword on his back, and spoke in an extremely domineering manner.
"Greetings, Battle Sword Elder!"
"Greetings, Battle Sword Uncle!"
"Greetings, Battle Sword Supreme Elder!"
The crowd bowed to the Battle Sword Lord.
Dao Integration Realm!
An elder from the Dao Integration realm had come to claim the disciple.
The crowd was shocked. They never expected that a disciple competition would lead to someone from the Dao Integration realm coming to fight for a disciple.
If Lu Ye were to join the Dao Integration realm, it would be like rising a level, becoming a little brother to the Sect Master and the peak masters.

"Battle Sword Brother, I actually think Lu Ye is more suited to my sword path."
A light laugh echoed from the void.
Another elder appeared.
"Senior Brother Tao, why do I feel like Lu Ye is more suited to my sword path?" Yet another elder appeared.
Three Dao Integration elders were now vying for Lu Ye.
White Qiulan's face became slightly darker.
For some reason, she felt incredibly reluctant to let Lu Ye join anyone else's sect.
There was perhaps a hint of panic that she was unwilling to admit.
If Lu Ye were to join another sect, would she and Lu Ye have no further connection from then on?
No!
No way!
White Qiulan's gaze became sharp.
"Senior brothers, according to the sect rules, you are only allowed to choose disciples when they first enter the sect. Once they have already joined, it's not the way of elders to compete for them. Now that you see my disciple's talent, you're trying to snatch him away. This is really not how elders should behave!" White Qiulan's voice was firm.
"You are not a sword cultivator, how could you teach a powerful sword cultivator?"
"That still doesn't give you the right to steal him!"
A group of sword cultivators frantically began to persuade White Qiulan, but she remained unmoved.
"Anyway, I don’t care. Lu Ye is my disciple. As long as he agrees, I will immediately report to the Sect Master and let him decide!"
"Indeed, Junior Sister Bai is stubborn. Let's go find the Sect Master!"
"Lu Ye, I now ask you, are you willing to leave Bai Lan Peak and join another sword cultivator's sect?" The Battle Sword Lord asked.
Immediately, all eyes turned to Lu Ye.
Yue Hongling tightly clenched her fists, White Qiulan's gaze was as calm as water, but at this moment, ripples formed in her heart.
A faint smile appeared on Lu Ye's face.
He spoke softly.
"Naturally, I am willing!"
