"I really never thought that my Ling Chen's first friend would be the young master of the Xiao family. Anything can happen in this life."
Listening to Ling Chen's sigh, Xiao Fan rolled his eyes and asked with surprise: "No, don't you even have a friend? Doesn't Ruoling count?"
Xiao Fan seemed a little unbelievable. Although Ling Chen was said to be a loser in his cultivation, he was still the young master of the Ling family. How could he not even have a single friend?
"Ruoling is not my friend, she is my confidant and someone I should take care of for the rest of my life. And you are my first real friend. Of course, I also have a brother, who is my nanny's son.
, he was almost beaten to death by others just to save me."
At this point, Ling Chen sighed. There were so many bitter memories in the past that every time he recalled them, his heart felt cramped.
Perhaps because he saw the sadness in Ling Chen's eyes, Xiao Fan stopped talking about these things and instead changed the topic to Ling Chen's cultivation.
"By the way, I have always been curious. How could you condense Xuanqi and cultivate to the realm of a swordsman if you were born without a martial soul?"
Xiao Fan has been observing Ling Chen for many days. Before Ling Chen was knocked off the cliff, Xiao Fan had already started to notice Ling Chen.
He even saw Ling Chen being beaten with his own eyes twice. Originally, he wanted to go up and teach those people a lesson, but in the end he held back because he wanted to see how strong Ling Chen's willpower was.
At that time, Xiao Fan used his spiritual consciousness to check Ling Chen's cultivation level and found that he was indeed only at the second level of swordsmanship.
But just yesterday, after Ling Chen stood out from the thousands of Sword Master Academy disciples, Xiao Fan checked Ling Chen's cultivation level again, and was shocked to find that Ling Chen's cultivation level had reached the first level of Swordsman!
This discovery shocked Xiao Fan. After repeated confirmations, he finally believed that he was not mistaken. Ling Chen had indeed reached the first level of swordsmanship!
With such an incredible breakthrough in just a few days, Xiao Fan was naturally very confused. Originally, he wanted to ask Ling Chen this afternoon, but considering that it might be related to Ling Chen's own secret, Xiao Fan held back.
did not ask.
Xiao Fan originally thought that Ling Chen would be somewhat dissatisfied after he said these words, but the reality was not what he thought.
After Ling Chen heard this, he just smiled lightly, without any change in the expression on his face.
"Actually, I have already guessed that you should have discovered this secret of mine. Yesterday when I was on the field, the moment I stepped off the ring, I vaguely felt that someone was using spiritual consciousness to check my cultivation. I didn't expect this
The person turned out to be you."
"Well... no wonder you don't look surprised at all. You are good at everything, but you smile too little. From the time I observed you, except for the occasional smile in front of Ruo Ling, you never smiled at other times.
I’ve never seen you smile at all, you always keep a straight face and pretend to be serious.”
"Huh?" Ling Chen looked at Xiao Fan strangely, and asked with some confusion: "From what you mean, you must have been observing me for a long time. Tell me, when did you start?"
Xiao Fan chuckled, scratched his head, and revealed all the things he had observed about Ling Chen.
Ling Chen was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Xiao Fan to notice him half a month ago. The funny thing is that he never noticed it.
"You can easily see through my cultivation level. It can be seen that your cultivation level is at least above the second level swordsman level. I was right."
Xiao Fan nodded and admitted: "Yes, I have the cultivation level of the fifth level swordsman. But compared with you, I feel very inferior."
Ling Chen was speechless for a while, "Inferiority? Don't be kidding me. The fifth level of swordsman is already considered a first-class master in the swordsman academy. I have just broken through to the swordsman level."
"Hey, don't forget, I am fifteen years old this year, but I have only reached the fifth level of swordsmanship. And you are only ten years old, but you have already broken through to the swordsman level. I don't want you to become a swordsman in one or two years.
You can surpass me."
Xiao Fan was a little depressed. He was five years older than Ling Chen, but his cultivation level was not much different from Ling Chen's. He thought he was already a cultivation genius, but compared with Ling Chen, he was useless, and he
But he became a genius.
"Although I don't know why you suddenly broke through to the realm of swordsman, I know that you must have had some unusual opportunities, or stimulated the potential in your body. Although I am very curious, I will not ask
You are responsible for these things, so you can rest assured."
Xiao Fan's words made Ling Chen a little surprised. He thought Xiao Fan would ask him about the reason for his sudden breakthrough, but he didn't expect him to say this.
"Oh? Can you tell me why?"
Xiao Fan yawned, "It's very simple. When I become your real brother, you will naturally tell me this. Besides, I, Xiao Fan, don't like to inquire about other people's personal information."
"Okay, I believe there will be such a day. Now...it's really not convenient for me to say. However, I suddenly made a decision. If I successfully enter the top ten, I am willing to explore with you what you said.
Rumors about the Spirit Realm Sword Cave."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Fan immediately became energetic. He suddenly stood up from the chair and asked with excitement: "Is what you said true?"
Ling Chen stood up and smiled: "Of course it's true, but we have to wait until we reach the top ten. Tomorrow's finals will definitely not be as simple as imagined. There are definitely not a few people in the Swordsman Academy who hide their cultivation like me.
, so I can’t be careless.”
Xiao Fan nodded, he knew this well.
"Okay, then you go back first and prepare well for tomorrow's game. I'm waiting for you to accompany me on the adventure."
Hearing Xiao Fan's words of encouragement, Ling Chen smiled slightly and said goodbye to Xiao Fan.
Today was indeed of great significance to Ling Chen. Not only had he washed away the humiliation he had suffered in the past few years, but he had also made friends like Xiao Fan, which made him feel that his life was beginning to become better.
Oddly enough, ever since Ling Chen's cultivation of the Nine Styles of the Sword God increased dramatically, he felt that his life had begun to undergo a drastic change.
In the past ten years, Ling Chen's life has been extremely unlucky.
In Ling Chen's opinion, he should be grateful to the young man in black gauze who knocked him off the cliff. If he hadn't knocked him off the cliff, he wouldn't have discovered the cave on the cliff by accident.
Without that cave, he would not have met his current master, nor would he have completely rewritten his destiny and life!
If it can be said that the life and experiences of the past ten years were used by God to hone Ling Chen's character, then now Ling Chen's character has become as solid as a rock, and no one can push it away!
However, Ling Chen has no idea that all the blows and humiliations he has suffered over the years are his destined training!
