Chapter 165: The First Who Gladly Yields, Heart and Mind Convinced

At this moment, those disciples of the Tongtian Sword Pavilion.

They all fell silent, gazing into the distance.

What did they even hear? They heard that their own sword child had surrendered?

They lost to a child not even a year old.

More importantly, they felt inferior in the Way of the Sword?

How could that be?

Could they be dreaming? They simply dared not believe it, nor want to believe it, for it was too fantastical.

Tuoba Yun and the others also froze at that moment, completely bewildered as to why this suddenly happened.

You should know, that Tongtian Sword Child had still suppressed the Divine Son in the recent battle.

But how could he, in the blink of an eye, choose to surrender? In the distance.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhangsheng's eyes, which had been filled with fierce fighting spirit, instantly showed doubt as he looked at the person before him. After a brief silence, he slowly said, 'Our battle hasn't ended yet.'

The Tongtian Sword Child, however, shook his head, his eyes complex: 'I lost, just now—you have fully grasped my Tongtian Sword Intent.'

'Everything is only because I displayed it before you; I don't know how you managed it, nor can I imagine it.'

'Yet to achieve this in such a short time is something I cannot match.'

He was very arrogant; at the start of his battle with Lu Zhangsheng.

He held the desire to suppress his opponent purely through the Way of the Sword.

To completely overwhelm the opponent.

Thus, throughout the process, he never used any divine power.

After all, in his view, he had cultivated for many years.

If he truly relied on his superior realm to overwhelm the opponent.

Then even if he won, what would it matter?

In this regard, the Tongtian Sword Child held his own thoughts and pride.

Since they were competing in the Way of the Sword, there was no need to mix in anything else.

But now, he has truly seen it clearly.

Lu Zhangsheng, in terms of sword dao talent,

is absolutely beyond my ability to compare.

In a single body, he directly possesses three different sword intents.

The Tongtian Sword Child believes he could never achieve that; thus, what else could he do but surrender?

He is not the type who feels surpassed after losing to another; instead, it plants in his heart the desire to advance further.

Lu Zhangsheng is not stupid either; upon hearing those words, a smile involuntarily appeared in his eyes, and he immediately understood.

The person before him is an exceptionally pure sword cultivator; losing is losing.

Thus, Lu Zhangsheng finally put away his Da Luo Sword Embryo.

Looking at the person before him, he spoke softly: 'If you went all out, some things would be hard to say; this is quite an advantage for me.'

To someone with a pure heart, he remains quite courteous, especially this person before him, whom he greatly admires.

Moreover, Lu Zhangsheng can clearly see that this Tongtian Sword Child possesses such a mindset; his future accomplishments will be great.

Perhaps he does not come from a present-day hegemon-level power, but he can still go very far.

Therefore, what he says now is, to some extent, encouragement.

Because in Lu Zhangsheng's heart.

If they truly fought, it would be a life-and-death battle.

Even if he were two realms higher, what would it matter? But regardless, the frankness of the person before him and his decisiveness in surrendering.

All of this endears him to Lu Zhangsheng.

At this moment.

Facing Lu Zhangsheng's words, the Tongtian Sword Child merely gave a slight shake of his head.

Immediately, he wore a curious and puzzled expression and then said: 'Divine Son, I don't understand—how could you, having never before encountered my Tongtian Sword Intent, nevertheless deduce and master it using my methods?'

This is what the Tongtian Sword Child most wants to know, because the sword intent he possesses.

He does not know how much energy and effort it took.

Or whether it was done despite having a supreme sword heart. And the other party.

Yet can easily achieve it.

Could it be that such terrifying talent truly exists in this world?

Facing him, upon hearing this, Lu Zhangsheng said nothing; if anyone else spoke.

He would absolutely ignore it, but the Tongtian Sword Child's words brought a smile to his face.

But he said nothing; instead, the shadow of double pupils suddenly appeared in his eyes.

An inexplicable aura emanated, enveloping the surroundings.

So that everyone present.

felt a powerful pressure that defied description.

'I understand now.' Not far away, the Tongtian Sword Child saw this and.

His whole body shuddered, then his eyes filled with shock; even someone like him could not calm down.

He knew Lu Zhangsheng's talent was outstanding; even before birth, he was a Primordial Dao Fetus, ranking among the top ten of the Three Thousand Physiques.

And now, with the addition of a pair of Ancient Double Pupils, the Tongtian Sword Child doesn't know what to say.

But precisely for that reason, he also knows why the other party can achieve this.

Today I lost to the Divine Son; I hope we can still exchange pointers someday.

Although he was shocked inside, his fighting spirit remained undiminished.

He hopes to become stronger later, and after gaining a deeper understanding of sword intent, to be able to fight the opponent again.

He, who possesses an unsurpassed sword heart, naturally does not think he could lose to anyone; thus, when he speaks, his gaze is also very firm.

"Always welcome."

Although Lu Zhangsheng about not being able to continue fighting.

And he was unable, in the great battle, to fully fuse the three sword intents he possessed.

However, the future is long, so there will be plenty of opportunities in this regard.

He is very clear about this, so he does not dwell on it.

"Then we'll take our leave first."

"After we go out, if there's a chance, I still hope to meet up with the Divine Son."

Not only does Lu Zhangsheng have a very good impression of the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Son, but the latter feels the same way.

He felt they could become close friends, but thinking of this Lu Family Divine Son, who is only just over a year old, he felt it was somewhat strange.

But thinking about it, it's nothing; in cultivation, age does not represent everything.

Afterward.

The Heaven-Penetrating Sword Son did not say anything more.

He brought along his junior fellow disciples behind him, and they all left.

After all, the North Sea Hunt is still underway, and there are demonized living beings that need to be slain.

However, those disciples of the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Sect were not clear as to why the Sword Son would suddenly admit defeat.

Moreover, although after Lu Zhangsheng revealed his Double Pupils, everyone felt an extremely strong pressure.

But they also did not know why, now, after leaving.

They directly looked at the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Son, filled with doubt, and then spoke: "Sword Son, you have obviously been suppressing him all along; why would you suddenly admit defeat? That shouldn't be."

"That's right, the Elder Ancestor once said that in the way of the sword, among the younger generation of the present age, no one can surpass you."

"This Lu Family Divine Son, although he has some talent, I think he is far inferior to you, Sword Son."

As a cultivator who specializes in the sword way, regarding the person he admires most.

Choosing to admit defeat without a true outcome.

Everyone naturally could not tolerate it.

So they all wanted to ask for clarification.

Why exactly?

And after hearing these words, the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Son halted his stance, looked at his junior fellow disciples, sighed, and then spoke: "Because that Lu Family Divine Son, in the span of a single great battle, achieved what took me decades to accomplish."
