A great emperor master every day—the good-for-nothing young master is having a blast!

Sun Rui and Wu Yonghuai bid farewell to Chen Yue and went to attend to their own business.

Seeing that no one was around, Gu Jun took out the white jade sword that was tucked into his waistband.

"Xiaoyu!"

Upon hearing the sound, Chen Yu quickly ran over, his eyes fixed on the white jade sword in Gu Jun's hand.

Curious, she asked, "What's wrong, Brother Jun?"

Instead of handing the sword over directly, Gu Jun immediately assumed a fighting stance.

"Xiaoyu, if you can withstand three of my sword strikes, I'll give you this White Cloud Sword."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu's heart instantly raced with excitement.

"Really, Brother Jun? We only need to withstand three moves?"

Gu Jun nodded. "That's right."

Chen Yu rubbed his hands together, drew the wooden sword from his waist, and prepared for a fierce battle with Gu Jun.

Gu Jun said to Chen Yue, "I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Chen Yue to be the referee for my battle with Xiao Yu."

"Watch very carefully. If Xiaoyu can withstand three sword strikes, I will consider myself the loser."

Chen Yue nodded calmly, "Don't worry, I'm the fairest one."

"On my command, three...one, begin!"

The moment he finished speaking, Gu Jun, holding the white jade sword, charged straight at Chen Yu.

This sword strike was not accompanied by any source energy aura; it was solely the power of Gu Jun himself.

Chen Yue smiled and immediately saw through Gu Jun's little scheme.

He withstood three sword strikes before handing over the white jade sword, without any source power enhancement during the attack.

What's the difference between this and blatantly giving it away for free? It's just that it makes it more respectable for Chen Yu to receive it.

Chen Yu gripped the wooden sword nervously. He wasn't confident in his fight against Gu Jun, but he was determined to endure all thirty blows in order to obtain the white jade sword.

Compared to the white jade sword, the wooden sword in his hand seemed so fragile and vulnerable.

Given the hardness of the wooden sword, let alone three strikes, it probably couldn't even withstand one.

The next second, Gu Jun's figure suddenly appeared in front of Chen Yu.

He gripped the white jade sword and slashed down fiercely, the sword landing squarely on the wooden sword in Chen Yu's hand.

"What happened? Did Brother Jun's sword really fall?"

Chen Yu only felt a slight jolt, and there was no sign of the wooden sword breaking as he had imagined.

Gu Jun maintained just the right amount of force, immediately withdrawing it the moment he touched the wooden sword.

He knew how important the wooden sword was to Chen Yu, and he never intended to damage it or put any pressure on Chen Yu.

Chen Yue saw the white jade sword and the wooden sword touch, which naturally counted as one strike. There were still two strikes left before the battle ended.

Gu Jun's poor acting skills were truly unbearable to watch.

That light, effortless sword strike was clearly a show of weakness, even to a discerning eye.

Chen Yue could hardly bear to watch; the way they were letting the money go was far too blatant.

"Alright! Two more swords, Xiaoyu, hold on!"

Gu Jun raised his hand to separate the two connected swords. When his palm, which was holding the white jade sword, was facing down, he accidentally bumped into the wooden sword once.

In Chen Yu's and Gu Jun's eyes, it was all perfectly normal.

But this barely noticeable scene was clearly seen by Chen Yue, who was standing right next to him.

"One last sword strike left!"

Upon hearing this, both Gu Jun and Chen Yu's expressions turned puzzled.

Xiao Chenyu looked at Chen Yue blankly and asked curiously, "Cousin Chen Yue, are you sure you're not mistaken? There's clearly one sword left."

Chen Yue said firmly, "Just now, Gu Jun's white jade sword touched your wooden sword, so that certainly counts as a sword strike."

"Since you've appointed me as the referee, I must ensure fairness and impartiality."

Gu Jun: "???"

"Fellow Daoist Chen Yue, is this really reasonable?"

"You even consider a slight touch as a violation? You're being a really unfair referee!"

No matter what Gu Jun said, Chen Yue stuck to his own opinion and remained unmoved by Gu Jun's explanations.

Seeing Gu Jun's anxious look, Chen Yue couldn't help but feel a surge of pleasure, finally getting a chance to toy with him.

"Fine, fine, one sword it is!"

Having learned his lesson, Gu Jun quickly distanced himself from Chen Yu, preparing to unleash his final strike.

With this sword strike, Gu Jun did not intend to be as light and agile as with the first one. Instead, he would unleash his true skills while ensuring the wooden sword would not break.

Chen Yu felt the pressure, which made him realize that the white jade sword wasn't given away for free.

Gu Jun gripped the white jade sword tightly with both hands, his aura changed drastically, and his expression instantly became serious.

"Xiaoyu, you'd better be prepared for this sword strike!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "This is bad."

"Oh no, Jun-gege is getting serious!"

Strands of source energy swirled around the wooden sword as Chen Yu unleashed his Enlightenment Realm cultivation, using all his strength to withstand this final blow.

Gu Jun rushed forward, his sword flashing as it fell heavily into Chen Yu's wooden sword, drawing a long, thin arc in the air.

"So...so heavy!"

Chen Yu groaned, gritting his teeth and persevering, determined to hold on to this final strike no matter what.

Gu Jun kept his eyes fixed on the wooden sword, as if afraid of damaging the fragile weapon.

At this moment, the wooden sword is protected by source energy. If the source energy protection shows signs of cracking, Gu Jun will immediately retract the white jade sword.

Chen Yue couldn't quite figure out Gu Jun's thoughts. The first sword strike had clearly shown his intentions, so why was he taking the third sword strike so seriously?

Could it be that he never intended to give the white jade sword to Chen Yu, but just wanted to play a trick on him?

Chen Yu was sweating profusely with anxiety, and he exerted all his strength.

Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out, appearing quite abrupt in the tense situation.

Gu Jun noticed a clear crack appearing on the source energy protection on the wooden sword.

"The time has come."

The direction in which the white jade sword struck suddenly deviated drastically, grazing the surface of the wooden sword before falling to the ground.

Chen Yue immediately announced, "The three swords are finished, Chen Yu wins!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu belatedly realized what was happening and slowly opened his eyes to look at Gu Jun in front of him.

The white jade sword was no longer in his hand.

"The end... is it over?"

Chen Yu withdrew his Enlightenment Realm Source Power and immediately checked whether the Qimu Sword was damaged.

After confirming that it was completely intact, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Jun smiled and said, "Xiao Yu, the three sword strikes are over."

"That white jade sword of Xuanbing quality is now yours."

Chen Yu clasped his hands in a fist and laughed loudly, "That's great, thank you, Brother Jun!"

Gu Jun bent down, picked up the white jade sword that had fallen to the ground, and personally handed it to Chen Yu.

"Brother Jun, be careful not to break my precious sword."

Chen Yu quickly took it with both hands without hesitation.

"You underestimated the Xuanbing too much, kid. Your cultivation at the Spirit Mansion Realm is not enough to destroy a Xuanbing."

Chen Yu carefully examined the white jade sword in his hand, his delight evident in his expression.

The first time he saw the white jade sword, he couldn't help but fall in love with this exquisite, snow-white short sword.

Now that his wish had finally come true, Chen Yu gripped the handle tightly, unwilling to let go.

"Cousin Chen Yue, look! What do you think of my new weapon?"

"A magical weapon is far more powerful than my wooden sword."

Chen Yue sincerely praised, "Not bad, not bad. You possess a Xuanbing weapon at such a young age. You are much better than I was back then."
