Swords emerge from Mount Hua, sweeping across the heavens from the world of Swordsman.

Not only is she cute, but she's also sunny and lively, with a sweet mouth like it's been coated in honey.

Every time the older female students saw him, they couldn't help but pull him into their arms and rub him.

He's only ten years old and he's already participating in the sect competition—that's a record-breaking achievement.

The youngest participant in the previous competition was Yue Lingshan, but she was already eleven years old at that time.

Soon, Yue Xuan walked onto the arena carrying a sword that reached almost to his chest, and the shouts of the female disciples rang out:

"Go for it, junior brother!"

"Junior brother, we believe in you!"

Upon hearing the shouts, Yue Xuan smiled and waved to the crowd, which once again made a group of female disciples' eyes sparkle with affection.

In the corner, Yue Lingshan smiled, but curled her lips and said, "This brat is too popular with girls. I wonder how many romantic debts he'll incur in the future! He hasn't inherited any of his father's composure and restraint."

Yang Lin and the others nodded with smiles, expressing their strong agreement.

They had seen Yue Xuan followed by a group of girls from the Traditional Martial Arts Hall several times; each of them was exceptionally pretty and delicate.

"That junior brother Mei Changhua's swordsmanship is quite good, no worse than ours back then. It's just a pity that he ran into the junior brother and still lost."

Although Yue Xuan also attended classes at the Chuanwu Hall, he learned martial arts from Yue Zhuoqun, and his profound and mysterious martial arts skills were countless.

The apprentices at the martial arts academy were not on the same level as him.

Sure enough, the difference in skill was immediately apparent when the two clashed.

Mei Changhua easily defeated Lu Dayou, but was almost completely crushed by Yue Xuan.

Yue Xuan could easily break through every single one of his attacks.

On the contrary, he had to exert all his strength to neutralize Yue Xuan's casual swings and thrusts.

Fortunately, although Yue Xuan was young, he was very sensible and did not attack him easily. Instead, he used his sword to fight him.

Such a fight might not be very noticeable to ordinary disciples, but to those with top-tier skills, it would appear as if a senior were instructing a junior on swordsmanship.

Mei Changhua barely managed to endure fifty moves before he was too exhausted to make another move, or rather, he couldn't think of any moves to use against Yue Xuan.

"Junior Brother Yue, I admit defeat!" he said with a sigh and a sense of dejection.

I felt a deep sense of powerlessness from Yue Xuan.

"Senior Brother Mei, don't be disappointed. Actually, your strength is not weak. It's just that I have learned too many martial arts, and they are more profound, which is why you are so hard to suppress."

Once you become a disciple of your senior uncles and learn more advanced martial arts, you'll improve quickly.

Mei Changhua's spirits lifted, and he regained his confidence.

Yup!

Although I didn't get first place, I'm sure I'll get second place, and I'll soon be able to learn more advanced martial arts.

On the high platform, Hua Shaokun's face was also filled with excitement as he looked at Yue Zhuoqun:

"Sect Leader, could you let me teach Xuan'er for a while?"

He still remembered the time he was defeated by his nephew Xie Xiaofeng. Under Yue Zhuoqun's guidance, he placed his hopes on the next generation of disciples of Huashan.

He had always hoped that a genius would emerge who could defeat Xie Xiaofeng for him in the future.

But ten years have passed, and I still haven't met him.

Even Yang Lin and Linghu Chong were inferior to Xie Xiaofeng in his eyes.

He was thrilled when he saw Yue Xuan's performance.

Yue Xuan is the peerless genius I've been hoping for all these years!

"Junior Brother Hua, do you mean you want to take Xuan'er as your disciple?" Before Yue Zhuoqun could speak, Feng Buping couldn't sit still any longer.

"Based on seniority, I'm the senior brother, so if anyone's going to take on a student, it should be me!"

"Senior Brother Feng, Senior Brother Hua, you are both disciples who are listed among the Eight Swords of Mount Hua, how can you still be so greedy!"

Xuan'er should become my disciple or Junior Brother Cong's disciple.

Cheng Buyou anxiously interrupted.

A group of elders immediately started arguing fiercely.

Chapter 54 Fusion, Longevity Daoist Treasury Technique

Seeing the group arguing fiercely, Yue Zhuoqun and Ning Zhongze exchanged a glance and decisively chose to remain silent.

Several people vied to take Yue Xuan as their disciple. The parents were very happy, but they didn't really approve of him.

I know my own son well; his talent for martial arts is absolutely unquestionable.

At the age of ten, he had already mastered three profound martial arts: Ambidextrous Fighting Technique, Dugu Nine Swords, and Shifting Flowers and Jade. He also possessed countless basic martial arts such as the Huashan Sword Technique.

Despite his young age and relatively weak strength, he may know just as much as the elders.

If Feng Buping, Hua Shaokun, and the others really take him as their disciple, then let them teach him. They'll teach him one after another without ever learning a thing or two.

The two remained silent, but Hua Shaokun and his group approached them.

"Sect Leader, you were the one who told me to train a disciple who could defeat Xie Xiaofeng. I finally chose Xuan'er, but Senior Brother Feng came to snatch her away. You must stand up for me."

"Sect Leader, what Junior Brother Hua said makes no sense at all."

He has been in charge of the Chuanwu Hall for many years, and all the disciples who graduate from the Chuanwu Hall are his students.

Even if Xuan'er doesn't formally become his disciple, she can still challenge Xie Xiaofeng in his place.

You can't agree with him just because of what he said before.

“Yes, Senior Brother Sect Leader, please allow Xuan’er to become my disciple. After I have trained Xuan’er to be mature, she will fight in place of Senior Brother Hua.”

……

Yue Zhuoqun immediately felt a headache coming on, and had no choice but to stop them. After pondering for a moment, he said:

"I can see that my fellow disciples genuinely want to take Xuan'er as their apprentice, but Xuan'er has been mischievous and unruly since childhood, so whether she is suitable to be his apprentice is debatable."

How about this, I'll have him take turns learning from you all for a period of time, and then let him decide which one he should take as his master, how does that sound?

After saying this, Yue Zhuoqun subtly curled the corner of his mouth:

You all wanted to be my mentor, so don't come complaining to me after you've been disappointed!

Feng Buping's eyes lit up and he immediately nodded: "That's a good idea, let's do it this way!"

He had created his own whirlwind sword technique and considered himself more attractive than the others.

Although Hua Shaokun was somewhat unwilling, he finally nodded: "Okay, then it's decided!"

Next, the other nine people who made it into the top ten of the competition became disciples, and this time there was no more heated fighting.

Hua Shaokun accepted Mei Changhua as his apprentice, which somewhat made up for Mei Changhua's disappointment.

Feng Buping accepted Lu Dayou, and the others each selected the promising talents they had their eye on.

Yue Zhuoqun still hasn't taken on any apprentices. Teaching apprentices is no easy task. He has a skill scroll that allows him to instantly level up with a single click.

Apprentices need to be taught carefully, with martial arts techniques broken down and passed on bit by bit.

After teaching Yang Lin and the other three, he gave up the idea of ​​taking on any more disciples, at least not in this world.

Then, outstanding disciples were given Lesser Rejuvenation Pills.

Since the Great Rejuvenation Pill has already been refined, the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill will be appropriately distributed, with each person who can enter the top 100 of the competition receiving one as a reward.

A month after the competition, the disciples who obtained the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill gradually refined it, and their strength improved.

[Ding! Thanks to the host's tireless efforts, the number of formal disciples with third-rate strength in Mount Hua has reached two thousand, and the number of formal disciples with second-rate strength has reached three hundred. The progress of the main quest "Revitalizing Mount Hua" has increased to 40%.]

[Rewards: 400 Inner Strength Points, 200 Martial Coins, the complete version of the Nine Yin Manual, one Perfection Scroll, and one Beginner Skill Fusion Scroll.]

"System, what is this skill fusion scroll?" Yue Zhuoqun asked in confusion. This was the first item the system had rewarded him with.

[Skill Fusion Scrolls can fuse similar techniques or martial arts, refining and evolving them into higher-level new martial arts. Basic skill books allow you to choose five martial arts to fuse.]

Yue Zhuoqun was startled; this item had arrived just in time.

As the number of martial arts skills awarded increased, the rewards became increasingly cumbersome and complicated.

Although most of them have reached the mastery level and their power is not bad, they are often not used.

With the skill fusion scroll, things can be greatly simplified.

How do I use it?

[The host can open the scroll and add the martial arts techniques that need to be fused.]

As the system voice faded, the attribute panel automatically appeared, now displaying a scroll-like icon.

Without needing to tap with your finger, a thought would cause the scroll to extend, revealing five '+' signs and a 'Merge' button.

Yue Zhuoqun thought for a moment and then manipulated the first '+' sign: "Add Zixia Divine Skill".

His primary internal energy cultivation technique has always been the Purple Cloud Divine Skill. Although this skill is not bad, and he has only reached the Great Perfection level of proficiency, it is already somewhat lacking in power for him in the later stages.

The first skill fusion scroll will be used for internal energy cultivation.
