As a direct disciple of the Eastern Sword Saint, Liu Lang never considered his Sword Dao to be inferior to any other sword cultivator.
Not only him, but even his master has always praised him—throughout history, his Sword Dao talent could rank in the top ten.
The Eastern Sword Saint even said to him when he was a child, "Disciple, cultivate the Sword Dao well, and I can guarantee you'll be the foremost prodigy of sword cultivators in this era!"
However, ever since Chen Yi descended from the Grand Void Sect and shone brightly outside the South-Garrison Pass, the Eastern Sword Saint never mentioned this again.
He only told him, "Disciple, don't mind about being the number one sword cultivator prodigy, striving for second place is also pretty good."
"..."
Initially, Liu Lang did not believe it, even after learning about Chen Yi's ranking on the "Prodigy List," he still didn't think he was inferior to Chen Yi.
