Borrowing a sword

Chapter 155 MVP Settlement Time
This round of the East Continent Grand Competition was truly spectacular.

Even after all the competitions were over, as the event was ending, everyone was still discussing it.

The hot topic of discussion was naturally Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang, the couple that others saw as Daoist partners.

Some people even smiled like doting aunts and started actively planning for their future:
"Junior Brother Chu and Junior Sister Han are both exceptionally talented. If they have a child, the child will most likely also be a gifted individual, right?"

This is just like when someone is shipping a couple and says they can't imagine how good-looking these two stunningly beautiful kids will be.

In reality, in the Xuanhuang Realm, if parents are highly talented, their offspring do have a slightly higher probability of being talented as well, but that's all.

Otherwise, some more pragmatic sects would probably encourage everyone to have more children.

After the event, Situ Cheng took Geng Tianhe back to continue their seclusion and solidify their sword intent.

Comprehending the Great River Sword Intent can be considered an unexpected gain amidst this crushing defeat.

But it seems like it was all by accident.

Geng Tianhe is actually very strong, even stronger than Zhao Xinghan.

Unfortunately, Chu Huaixu's ability to counter sword cultivators was too great, as it was specifically designed to target this system.

The Heart Sword can also affect other weapon spirits, as it even has the ability to annihilate them.

The suppression wasn't as great as it was for the Blade Spirit.

As for Mei Chuxue, she even made a special trip to see Li Chunsong.

"Fellow Daoist Li, may I make some changes to the gambling arrangements?" the woman in red asked.

The gambling addict looked at her with slight surprise and asked, "You're not planning to bet on Xu Ziqing anymore?"

“Yes, I want to switch my allegiance to Chu Huaixu,” she said.

"Why?" Li Chunsong was taken aback.

From a rational perspective, he would also bet on Xu Ziqing.

The bronze sword is too powerful. Even with Chu Huaixu's extraordinary abilities, he has no chance of winning.

He bet on this kid purely out of gambling instinct.

Anyway, he has already created so many miracles for me. I used to be a wise man and I still lost every time I gambled, so I might as well just bet on him without thinking.

Mei Chuxue smiled, her peach blossom eyes becoming even more alluring; whenever she smiled, her charm was fully revealed.

"I just think it's more fun this way."

She didn't really care about winning or losing; after all, everyone was just gambling for fun.

To outsiders, the stakes of this group would probably be considered a "huge sum".

But for them, it's just something to do casually.

The people of Chunqiu Mountain have peculiar ways of entering the Dao, and they all enjoy playing around in the mortal world.

Moreover, Mei Chuxue is a master craftsman and has plenty of money.

Meanwhile, Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang had already returned to the bamboo house.

After sitting back down on the prayer mat, he let out a long breath.

Today's competition was actually a test by him.

He revealed so many of his trump cards because he wanted to see the reactions of the sect's higher-ups and the other three major sects.

"It seems they don't want others to know that the scabbard in my hand is the Dao Ancestor's scabbard."

"Of course, it's even more impossible for others to know that the bronze sword in Xiao Xu's hand is the Dao Ancestor Sword."

This gave him a sense of peace of mind.

He also wanted to make a big show of himself, to let the world know that he held the Dao Ancestor's sword sheath, and how glorious that would be.

But upon closer examination, there are also many drawbacks.

"However, judging from the attitude of the higher-ups, they are quite happy to let the world know that I have learned the Daoist Canon."

That makes sense. It is indeed a disgrace to Taoism that no one has grasped its true meaning for thousands of years.

Moreover, most of the geniuses in the Eastern Continent Grand Competition practice powerful techniques, such as the "Sword Canon" or the "Luo Tian Dao Fa," so they need someone who practices the "Dao Canon" to keep things in order.

As the saying goes, "A room that has been dark for a thousand years can be illuminated by a single lamp."

As for Geng Tianhe's comprehension of sword intent, Chu Huaixu felt it was partly due to chance.

But one thing he was certain of was that this guy had definitely misunderstood.

"He said he was too attached to appearances." "Perhaps he hasn't grasped the truth that I am a 'sword man'." He had already given up and even started to joke about himself.

At that moment, he shifted his position on the prayer mat and then began rubbing his hands together.

It's that wonderful time again to claim your mission rewards.

The main quest, "The Grand Tournament of the Eastern and Western Continents," has reached this stage, and the reward that Chu Huaixu desires most—special attribute points—finally begins to appear.

"It's a pity that these are random attribute points, not free attribute points that I can allocate at will." He said with a hint of regret.

After defeating Geng Tianhe, he gained nearly 30,000 experience points.

"It feels so good to torment these geniuses who rank among the top in the entire Eastern Continent!" Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

The experience he provided was equivalent to that of nearly 30 Lang Yue, making him as powerful as 30 Lang Yue!
Chu Huaixu immediately felt that sparring with someone like Lang Yue was a complete waste of his time and life.

"They don't seem to be here to fight, they seem to be here to gain fans," he thought to himself.

After claiming the mission rewards, his total experience points reached an astonishing 25!
This is because he had previously leveled up, which consumed some of his energy.

"Little Xu, in a way, all these experience points are prepared for you." Chu Huaixu looked up and muttered to himself.

Next, we will extract special attribute points.

Based on his current needs, it would be best to focus on improving his physical strength and comprehension.

Of course, he would be even more satisfied if he could obtain 1 point of [Spiritual Embryo Attribute].

The familiar spinning wheel began to appear, and he, imitating Li Chunsong, also started rubbing his hands together like flies.

But when he thought of the philanthropic gambling king who always lost at gambling, he stopped what he was doing with a look of gloom, and even wiped his hands on his trouser legs in disgust.

"System, start the draw!" Chu Huaixu commanded.

The giant spinning wheel began to spin rapidly, followed by a ten-second countdown.

Chu Huaixu had always felt that his lucky number was 7, so he chose to stop when there were still seven seconds left.

Finally, the pointer landed on [Comprehension]!

"Oh no, is it going to start getting a brain again?"

He never dreamed that his comprehension could actually outpace his physical abilities in such a short time.

"As expected, I knew I should have gone down the genius path!"

"What kind of bullshit body tempering is this? It's just a last resort!"

Chu Huaixu was secretly pleased. In this way, the experience points he would need to spend learning spells would be reduced.

More importantly, he has already met the criteria for upgrading a Xuan-level spell to its maximum level.

In this way, the two Xuan-level spell upgrade vouchers can be put to good use.

"Even a small number of Earth-level spells that are highly compatible with oneself can be upgraded to minor mastery! They will not be limited by low comprehension."

"But if the compatibility of the techniques is low, it probably won't work." He understood the nature of the system very well.

Chu Huaixu exclaimed sincerely, "The MVP settlement time every time is just so awesome."

Of course, one should look forward.

He is now more focused on the rewards for the next phase of the mission.

Currently, it seems he can easily make a fortune with this [East-West Continent Grand Competition] mission.

The rewards were so generous that they were almost outrageous.

However, Chu Huaixu remained cautious, because although it was just a competition, the system marked it with the words "main quest".

This also aligns with his earlier suspicions; he always felt that there might be some hidden story behind the position of leader.

Because, under normal circumstances, the main quest is often linked to a great calamity.

"This top spot might not be so easy to hold," Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

But that's all in the future. Right now, he's no match for the bronze sword.

With that thought in mind, he turned his attention to the mission interface to check the rewards for the next stage.

The next moment, his pupils contracted slightly, and he was overcome with ecstasy.

(ps: Ask for a monthly pass~)
