"Swish swish swish." After Elder Ming had arrived, soon after, a few more people arrived. sect master, He Yuanjun had come as well.

They all asked about the process and then looked at Chu Chen with an astonished expression.

"A hundred years of miracle. Broken Blade Cliff, Sword Testing Platform, and the mark left by the flower of the sword. You are the number one in the Northern Spirit Sect." He Yuanjun's eyes flickered with brilliance, and once again, looked at Chu Chen. This disciple, had shocked his heart time and time again.

If the image of Chu Chen defeating Xie Yunfei and defeating him on the Nine Heavens Mountain stage had only left a mark on He Yuanjun's mind, then this time, he really did have a certain position in his heart.

"This disciple is not simple. Does he really not have a Martial Vein?" He Yuanjun could not help but be suspicious, he felt that if there was a chance, he would take it again.

"Yi, the red light pattern disappeared." The crowd was bewildered.

Sure enough, after the sword marks appeared, the red light patterns that had been rising up on the pillar disappeared, leaving not a single drop behind.

"The mark of the flower of the sword broke through the surface of the Sword Testing Stone and stopped the force, which was why it disappeared." He Yuanjun said.

Even though Chu Chen's Sword Dao did not show itself in the end, they could roughly guess that it was twice as strong as Zhong Gu's, at least fifty thousand kilograms.

Not to mention the ninth stage of the Bloody Martial Stage, seven Martial Vein s were rarely seen in ten years. Its strength of thirty thousand kilograms was already enough to break a record, and it had even exceeded twice the original amount of strength. At this moment, all the disciples who had mocked earlier, obediently shut their mouths.

The competition, at this point, was almost over. Chu Chen's Sword Dao's power, was something no one could break, and the remaining disciples all shook their heads.

What a joke, since the sect master had come, what was there to compete in? Even some elders might not be able to achieve the power of sixty thousand kilograms.

"Is there anyone else who wants to continue?" Lu Yuan shouted in a symbolic manner.

No one responded.

Obviously, Chu Chen's performance had suppressed all of the other disciples.

"No one challenges me. Elder Lu can announce the result, right? " Elder Ming said.

However, at this time, Lu Yuan cupped his hands towards He Yuanjun and said: "sect master, logically speaking, Chu Chen should have left a mark on the sword, and obtained first place, but he does not have any Martial Vein s, even if he enters Meteorite Academy, it would not be able to develop much, let alone coming back to Radiant Sect, so I suggest giving this spot to Zhong Gu, because he has seven Martial Vein s, if he enters Meteorite Academy, he will definitely be able to soar into the sky."

Initially, they had thought that by directly announcing Chu Chen's first place, they would never have thought that Lu Yuan would actually say such things.

"This Lu Yuan is really despicable, I relied on my own strength to obtain a placing, but he didn't want to give it to me and recommended Zhong Gu instead." The other party had provoked him time and time again, and had already touched the bottom line. No matter what he did, Lu Yuan would stop him.

"Elder Lu, may I ask, during the Sword Discourse Arena competition, the rules have been made clear, the first place of the Sword Dao will have the last recommendation, my sword flower marks, my sword strength has reached around 60,000, yet you said that I do not have a Martial Vein and not give it to me, it is truly laughable, could it be that this is also a rule?"

Chu Chen said each word forcefully, causing his face to redden.

Everything is for the sake of the Northern Spirit Sect. I am more clear than anyone else on the importance of every single one of the ten spots, so, even more so, you need to give promising disciples. Although you are strong, without the Martial Vein s, you will not even be able to enter the Spiritual Martial Stage in the future.

"But giving it to Zhong Gu is different!"

Once it is like this, he will become a genius that is rarely seen in fifty years. Once he enters the Meteorite Academy, the path ahead is wide, and when he returns to the sect in the future, there will be endless help for him.

"The path of I, Chu Chen, under my own feet, could the future be decided by you, Elder Lu? Since I'm so powerful, why can't I see that you've calculated it previously? Whether I could leave a mark on the flower of the sword or not, how could you tell me that if I hadn't developed my powers, how did I manage to reach where I am today? " Chu Chen asked stubbornly.

He had long hated Lu Yuan and didn't want him to be weak. That would only make him lose more than he could chew.

"What's the use of all these? I only care if you have Martial Vein s or not, and are unable to bring benefits to the sect, so, the recommendation, is not to not give it to you, but rather that you are unworthy of it, so giving it to Zhong Gu is the most suitable candidate. I hope the sect master will consider it carefully, and I, Lu Yuan, am doing this for the sect."

When Lu Yuan talked, all of them were related to their sect, matching with his identity, which undoubtedly added a lot more weight to it, making it difficult for He Yuanjun to make a choice too.

Even though the development of the martial way was not entirely related to the Martial Vein, the Martial Vein was still the foundation. Should he give it to Chu Chen as it is, or should he develop it for the sake of the sect to Zhong Gu? He Yuanjun fell into silence.

As a sect master, he had to be cautious at times. He even looked hesitant, because he had to decide which step to take before he could not turn back.

These choices were all closely related to the sects, and it was impossible not to treat them with caution.

"Martial Vein, you keep on emphasizing that Martial Vein, isn't it precisely seizing this weakness to suppress me? Hoho, since the sect master is hesitating, then it means that the Martial Vein is incomparably important to everyone here, then I will tell you this, what do seven Martial Vein s count as? I, Zhong Gu, also have one of them, dare to ask, if that is the case, will the final placing belong to me, someone?"

"You have Martial Vein too?" Lu Yuan scoffed.

"sect master, I think you can choose Zhong Gu directly. In terms of personality, he is stronger than Chu Chen too, but look at him.

Lu Yuan took this opportunity to make a big fuss. Once he grasped the flaw, he would enlarge it infinitely, and then twist it into another meaning. His schemes were terrifyingly deep.

"Chu Chen, the sect master is here, do not speak nonsense, do you really have a Martial Vein?" Elder Ming asked.

The Elder Bai watched on in anticipation. If Chu Chen did not know what was good for him and spoke nonsense, even if he wanted to help, he would not be able to do so.

"I will be in charge until the end." Chu Chen nodded, with an incomparably resolute tone. At that time, there was no examination, and Chu Chen had never told anyone else, there were many reasons why. Since the test could not reveal it, then who would believe it?

He didn't care too much about it, as long as it didn't affect his training.

Other than that, the Martial Vein s of conservatism also wanted to keep a low profile. At his age, to open up seven Martial Vein was extremely shocking. If word of this spread, it would definitely cause a huge commotion, especially regarding the "Undead Scripture".

Chu Chen thought very thoroughly about what he was doing. This kind of top tier skill, if it was exposed in the slightest, would definitely bring about a fatal disaster. But today, he had no choice but to say it.

In this world, one must rely on true strength. Since Lu Yuan was using the Martial Vein to suppress others, how could Chu Chen be willing to do so?

The disciples around were discussing and did not believe what Chu Chen had said. He did not have a Martial Vein, that was something that everyone knew.

If he still does not prove it in the end, then the crime will be huge. He even dares to deceive sect master and the elders, that is already too much.

He Yuanjun frowned slightly. If Chu Chen was not lying, then there was only one possibility. At that time, the testing stone's quality was too poor.

"Pick a good testing stone and bring it over." He Yuanjun instructed.

"Hmph. Then let's test it out. I can use this to suppress this boy." Lu Yuan thought hatefully in his heart as a complacent look surfaced in his eyes.
