Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

Three days later, several carriages were parked outside the gate of the Glazed Sword Sect.

Xia Jin stood beside the carriage, her expression constantly shifting.

He appeared to be smiling, but only he knew that the smile on his face was forced and somewhat strained.

Today is the day we set off for the Kendo Exchange Meeting.

For this reason, Xia Jin changed into a moon-white robe, a rare occurrence, with the senior brother's token personally bestowed by Leng Wushuang tied around his waist.

Her long hair was tied up with a jade crown, giving her a rather ethereal and otherworldly appearance from afar.

"Is this the senior disciple newly appointed by the sect leader?"

Behind Xia Jin, a murmur of whispers arose.

Although the voice was soft, he naturally heard it. He even glanced out of the corner of his eye at the five female disciples of the Glazed Sword Sect standing not far behind him.

They are the representatives of the Glazed Sword Sect who went to Guxu Prefecture to participate in the sword exchange meeting.

Aside from Mu Qingxue, Zhao Lingyun, and Li Piaoxu, who were rescued by Xia Jin from the Sword Tower, the other two disciples were unfamiliar faces. However, those who were able to participate in this sword exchange meeting were certainly not weaklings within the Glazed Sword Sect.

"Senior Sister Zhao?" One of the female disciples leaned close to Zhao Lingyun's ear and whispered, "Doesn't our Glazed Sword Sect only accept female disciples? When did a senior brother suddenly appear?"

Zhao Lingyun shook her head. Although she knew some of the inside information, she didn't know the specific reason.

"But speaking of which, this senior brother is really good-looking." The female disciple just glanced at Xia Jin secretly, and a blush quietly appeared on her cheeks.

Zhao Lingyun glanced at her helplessly: "Be serious. If our senior brother finds out and blames you, don't blame us for not pleading for you."

Mu Qingxue stood to the side, a three-foot-long sword hanging at her waist. Hearing the whispers of the two people behind her, she couldn't help but frown.

"We'll talk about our senior brother on the way. Now is not the time for idle chatter."

The female disciple glanced at Mu Qingxue and teased with a smile, "Hehehe, Senior Sister Mu, could it be that you've also taken a fancy to Senior Brother? Don't worry! If that's the case, I definitely won't compete with you."

The conversation between the group caused Xia Jin's lips to twitch involuntarily a few times. He took a deep breath, turned around, and glanced at Mu Qingxue and the others.

"Is everyone here?"

Mu Qingxue nodded slightly: "Reporting to Senior Brother, everyone is here."

"Then let's set off for Ancient Xuzhou."

After saying this, he glanced at the carriage next to him, but did not rush to get on.

Instead, he turned around and looked up at the main hall of the Glazed Sword Sect, the highest point of the sect. When he vaguely saw the indistinct figure, he sighed helplessly.

After a few breaths, he shook his head and got into the carriage in front.

Seeing this, Mu Qingxue and the others also got into the carriage behind.

The two carriages drove off and quickly disappeared.

In front of the sect leader's main hall, Leng Wushuang stood with his hands behind his back.

As she watched the two carriages gradually disappear into the distance, the corners of her lips finally turned up slightly, revealing a smug smile.

"Hmph, how dare you mock me, the sect leader, that day! This time, I'll teach you a lesson. The Sword Dao Exchange Conference of Ancient Xuzhou is not so easy to handle."

"Although you've gained the approval of those four mysterious swordsmen, overconfidence is ultimately not a good thing. Take this opportunity to hone your skills!"

After a moment of silence, Leng Wushuang suddenly turned around and said to the figure behind her, "Elder Sun."

"metropolitan!!"

An aged voice rang out, and an old woman coughed before looking at Leng Wushuang.

Sun Ling, an elder of the Glazed Sword Sect, has reached the peak of the Dragon Transformation Realm and is only one step away from the Half-Step Great Power Realm. Her prestige within the sect is extremely high.

If Xia Jin hadn't appeared, she would have been the leader of the sword exchange meeting in Guxu Prefecture!

"I was originally thinking of letting you rest this time, but I'm afraid that's not possible now. I'll trouble you to secretly accompany them to Guxu Prefecture. If they encounter any danger to their lives, do your best to help and ensure their safety."

Upon hearing Leng Wushuang's words, Elder Sun frowned, seemingly somewhat surprised: "Sect Master, are you worried that the kid won't be able to protect a few disciples? You told me the other day that this kid's strength is at least at the third level of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Even among all the younger generation participating in the Sword Dao Exchange Conference, this cultivation level is enough to easily rank him in the top three."

"It's not that I'm worried about that." Leng Wushuang shook his head, a complicated look flashing in his eyes. "I can't even see through that kid's strength. But Gu Xuzhou is not my Liuli Sword Sect's territory after all. Various forces will gather at the sword exchange meeting. The younger generation is fine, but there will inevitably be some old fools who don't know their place."

"I'll feel more at ease if you come along."

Elder Sun nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

She was about to turn and leave, but then stopped, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Sect Master, there is something I don't understand."

"explain."

"The sect leader broke the rules and made this kid a disciple of my Glazed Sword Sect, and as the senior disciple no less."

"Although he is at the third level of the Dragon Transformation Realm, such a level is extremely rare among the younger generation and cannot be underestimated in any sect. However, our Glazed Sword Sect has never had a male disciple in its history. If he were to take over the position of sect leader in the future, our Glazed Sword Sect would probably be very different."

Leng Wushuang suddenly laughed.

"Elder Sun, it seems you still haven't seen things clearly."

Elder Sun was taken aback, unsure how to respond.

Leng Wushuang turned around and looked at Elder Sun with an unusually serious expression: "Do you believe it? Xia Jin's talent is not just what you see on the surface. If he fully unleashes his potential in the future, he will surely lead our Glazed Sword Sect to a new level."

"Not just in Fengyuan Prefecture, but throughout the entire Mirage Realm, my Glazed Sword Sect has a voice!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Elder Sun's eyes.

She was an elder of the Glazed Sword Sect and had watched Leng Wushuang grow up. Over the years, she knew very well that Leng Wushuang never did anything without certainty and never praised anyone easily.

For her to say something like that, that kid named Xia Jin is probably really something else.

"Alright, this time, I guarantee this boy will return safely!!" Elder Sun didn't ask any more questions, nodded to Leng Wushuang, and headed straight for the mountain gate.

Leng Wushuang stood in front of the main hall, her eyes also closed.

A cool breeze blew on her face, making her thoughts a little clearer.

Suddenly, the image of that day flashed into her mind: the first time she saw the four stone swords vibrate simultaneously, their hidden sword intent so intense that it even made her feel a strong threat to her life.

She will never forget that scene for the rest of her life.

She was very clear that even if Xia Jin only stepped into the threshold of the Great Power Realm in the future, as long as he could completely control those four stone swords, Xia Jin would be invincible in the Great Power Realm!

"Xia Jin! I've placed all my hopes on you, and I hope you won't disappoint me!"
