767. Chapter 765 Sect Grand Comparison

She used her own ice-element magic to protect Lu Yuan's residence, so that he could cultivate in peace.

Feng Tianfeng observed Lu Yuan's tireless efforts from behind, her heart filled with admiration.

Although she and Lu Yuan followed different cultivation paths, she knew that only through her own efforts could she gain true strength.

"Senior Brother Lu, you've been cultivating continuously for several days."

Feng Tianfeng approached him with concern.

"You need to rest a bit."

Lu Yuan stopped the motion in his hands, smiling as he looked at Feng Tianfeng.

"Don't worry, Junior Sister."

"I will pay attention to resting."

Feng Tianfeng sighed, lightly placing her hand on Lu Yuan's shoulder.

"Senior Brother Lu, you are already excellent; no matter what, remember to protect yourself."

Lu Yuan felt Feng Tianfeng's concern and support, and he nodded.

"Thank you, Junior Sister."

"I know I must take responsibility for my own fate; I will not do anything reckless."

The atmosphere in Bixiao Town became tense and fervent.

Disciples from all sects were tirelessly striving to improve their strength in order to vie for the quotas of the Sect Grand Comparison.

Lu Yuan was full of curiosity about the upcoming Sect Grand Comparison, paying special attention to the demand for weaponsmiths.

After learning that the rules of the competition could not be changed, Lu Yuan resolved to participate in the Sect Grand Comparison to earn more contribution points for exchanging necessary magical resources.

He deeply understood the importance of the weaponsmith's path in cultivation in the Xian Jie, and also realized that only through strength could he gain anything in this competition.

"Almost all eyes inside and outside Heavenly Wind City are turned toward our Lei Huo Dan Ge."

The Sect Leader of Lei Huo Dan Ge said in a deep voice, "You two are the pride of Lei Huo Dan Ge; I believe you can perform excellently."

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan stood before the Sect Leader, hearing these words they couldn't help but feel reverent.

They deeply felt the responsibility and mission.

"Please rest assured, Sect Leader."

Lu Yuan answered solemnly, "I will give my all to win more honor for Lei Huo Dan Ge."

Su Liyan nodded slightly, her expression resolute.

"I will also do my utmost to secure victory for Lei Huo Dan Ge."

The Sect Leader smiled encouragingly, "Good, I believe in you."

"But in the competition, you must not only display your strength, but also pay attention to protecting yourself."

"The sect's cultivation has always been about first seeing whether you can grow safely and healthily."

After Lu Yuan and Su Liyan thanked in unison, they left the Sect Leader's study.

They glanced at each other, both feeling anticipation for the competition in their hearts.

To enhance the strength he would use in the competition, Lu Yuan got up early every day to begin cultivation.

With five-element vital energy flowing around him, he waved the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword in the training chamber, carefully practicing various techniques.

In order to break through to the Golden Core Stage before the Sect Grand Comparison, Lu Yuan exerted himself to raise his cultivation and continually studied various complex formations.

He realized that computational ability was crucial for an excellent formation master, and began arduous training in related skills.

The whole story is filled with challenges and expectations; Lu Yuan strives tirelessly for himself and the future of Lei Huo Dan Ge.

Night gradually fell, and a faint coolness permeated the streets of Heavenly Wind City.

Moonlight fell on the place where Lu Yuan practiced, reflecting his calm and cold countenance.

He wore a black robe, holding his sword upright; the five-element vital energy flowing within his body formed a strange and mysterious sight in the darkness.

Gripping the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword tightly with both hands, Lu Yuan focused on catching every subtle change.

He immersed his mind in the sword technique, feeling the power contained in the blade.

In the darkness, he seemed to see countless bolts of lightning tearing across the sky, thunder roaring, shocking the heart.

These sights made him yearn and long for future Golden Core cultivation.

Time passed bit by bit; Lu Yuan continuously waved his sword in the darkness, his figure agile and vigorous.

He deeply understood the importance of computational ability in the use of formations; an excellent formation master needs to quickly and accurately judge and allocate various resources.

Therefore, Lu Yuan resolved to redouble his efforts in this area.

He began practicing computational skills, like a cunning fox weaving through complex formations.

He used the five-element vital energy to calculate and deduce, trying to find the optimal solution.

At times he furrowed his brows in thought, at times he lightly opened his lips to silently chant mantras, his body gradually emanating a mysterious aura.

Lu Yuan fully immersed himself in the virtual world he created.

This arduous training and accumulation of experience is not simple.

He often needed to cultivate continuously for several days and nights without rest, challenging himself near his limits.

However, after each desperate battle, Lu Yuan could always feel the footsteps of his growing strength.

Zi Xi'er and Su Liyan often came to the training ground, watching Lu Yuan's diligent cultivation from behind.

They silently cheered him on, knowing that Lu Yuan's growth concerned not only himself but also the future of Lei Huo Dan Ge.

Through Lu Yuan's relentless efforts, he finally mastered computational skills and applied them to formations.

He could accurately judge each node, optimize each part, making the entire formation reach its optimal state.

Night gradually fell; inside the Black Wind Sect's forging chamber, Lu Yuan was wholeheartedly forging a piece of radiant mithril.

This is a long-term task; he must use meticulous design and superb skill to forge every piece of meteoric iron into a flawless artifact.

Suddenly, a figure appeared at the doorway—it was Hong Lietian.

He stood there, his face full of anxiety and anticipation.

"Lu Yuan! I found you!"

Hong Lietian hurried over to Lu Yuan, saying, "Someone is looking for you—the Sect Leader of the Youhun Sect, Hong Lietian, has come in person."

"The Sect Leader of the Youhun Sect? Why are you looking for me?"

Lu Yuan lowered the hammer in his hand and lifted his head to look at Hong Lietian.

"The Sect Grand Comparison is about to begin."

I want to inform you and hope you can break through to become a fourth-rank alchemist.

"This is recognition of your ability and also an encouragement for the Lei Huo Dan Ge."

Hong Lietian said with deep meaning.

Lu Yuan blinked slightly, "Thank you for your expectations and support, but I am now fully preparing for the Sect Grand Comparison."

"I plan to advance to a third-rank weaponsmith within a year to gain more resources and prestige for the Lei Huo Dan Ge."

Hong Lietian pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Your determination is commendable."

"But remember, the Sect Grand Comparison is an opportunity to test your strength and potential."

"No matter which path you choose in the future, achieving a good placement in the Sect Grand Comparison will benefit you."

Lu Yuan nodded silently, expressing his understanding of Hong Lietian's words.

Hong Lietian gazed at Lu Yuan and added, "Besides the alchemist assessment, this Sect Grand Comparison also has an important task." (End of chapter)
