Seven Kill Sword Art

Outside, Chen Yuan immediately drew his Iron Sword and began training. He was in excellent condition now; the Iron Sword in his hand felt as light as a feather, as though it did not exist at all.

This made him think:

It seems that consuming Whale Rubber has made my body even stronger. Perhaps I should increase the intensity of my training as well...

He promptly pushed those thoughts aside and devoted himself to training, swinging his sword again and again.

After three hundred swings, Chen Yuan still felt full of vigor. His abundant energy even surprised him.

It was not just him—even Chen Xin found it remarkable, believing that the current training intensity was no longer suitable for Chen Yuan.

But not today. Chen Xin slowly stepped forward and said to Chen Yuan:

"Yuan'er, give me the sword!"

Chen Yuan immediately complied upon hearing this.

"Yes!"

He handed the sword to Chen Xin, then waited for him to teach him the Seven Kill Sword Art.

Grasping the hilt, Chen Xin wore a solemn expression as he looked at Chen Yuan and said seriously:

"The Seven Kill Sword Art differs from the Killing Character Art. The latter releases sword qi to attack, while the former is a close-combat technique. The Seven Kill Sword Art wins through speed and dominates through strength. Every strike is swift and powerful. It is a sword art, but also a movement art. It can give you comprehensive improvement and make up for your current lack of experience."

After saying that, Chen Xin began to truly demonstrate the Seven Kill Sword Art. In that instant, his entire aura changed. The sword moved with his body, and the sword's movements were incomparably coordinated with the movements of his body. His body led the sword, and form and spirit became one.

Chen Xin's movements were not particularly fast, and Chen Yuan could clearly see every move and stance. As he demonstrated, Chen Xin did not forget to explain:

"Our Chen Clan's Martial Soul is powerful, but what must become even stronger is ourselves. Strength, speed, reflexes, explosive power... Relying on the sharpness of the Seven Kill Sword and swinging it around wildly is as laughable as a child wielding a sledgehammer."

The demonstration continued as Chen Xin went on:

"To truly master the Seven Kill Sword Art, you must forget the sword in your hand and regard yourself as the sword. You are the sword, and the sword is you. With Man and Sword as One, you can unleash your strongest strike!"

As the demonstration neared its end, Chen Xin's aura rose to its peak. His entire body seemed like a sharp divine sword, yet in an instant, it vanished without a trace, as though it had never appeared. He could release and withdraw it at will.

Letting out a soft breath, Chen Xin looked at Chen Yuan and asked:

"You have watched it. What insights have you gained?"

After pondering for a moment, Chen Yuan answered truthfully:

"It is people who wield swords, not swords that control people. What Teacher has always been telling me is not to rely on the Seven Kill Sword's power, but to continuously strengthen myself."

A genius!

A peerless genius!

Chen Xin's eyes became exceptionally fervent. Only after breaking through to rank ninety-six Soul Power and becoming a Super Douluo had he understood this truth, yet Chen Yuan grasped it at a single hint. How could he not be a peerless genius?

"Good. I am very pleased that you have gained such insight!"

Chen Xin nodded in satisfaction and returned the sword to Chen Yuan before continuing:

"We will begin learning the Seven Kill Sword Art now. Your talent is outstanding. Reaching true mastery in the future should merely be a matter of time."

Chen Yuan had lived two lives and was no child. His insight also came from the memories of his previous life. Even with Chen Xin praising him so highly, he did not become arrogant.

Then, under Chen Xin's instruction, Chen Yuan began learning the Seven Kill Sword Art. This was no longer merely standing in place and practicing sword swings; it placed extremely high demands on the body's flexibility and coordination.

However, Chen Yuan's comprehension and talent were both excellent. After receiving Chen Xin's guidance, he quickly learned it well enough to look convincing.

Moreover, Chen Yuan constantly kept in mind that it was people who wielded swords, not swords that controlled people.

The day soon came to an end. Chen Yuan had already begun Meditation when Chen Xin went to find Ning Fengzhi. He still needed to discuss the matter of Whale Rubber.

Inside the brightly lit study were three people: Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong. After some consideration, Chen Xin said:

"Sect Leader, I have something to tell you. Yesterday, I gave orders to purchase a piece of Thousand-Year Whale Gel."

As soon as he said this, strange expressions appeared on Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong's faces. Seeing their reactions, Chen Xin's old face reddened as he spoke again:

"It was not for me—it was for Yuan'er!"

However, that explanation seemed likely to cause even greater misunderstanding, so Chen Xin quickly explained the reason:

"Yesterday, Yuan'er asked me to get him some Whale Rubber, saying it was to strengthen his bones, muscles, and tendons. I did not believe him at first. I naturally knew what Whale Rubber was for, but I could not refuse him, so I could only satisfy his request."

After pausing, Chen Xin continued:

"After buying the Thousand-Year Whale Gel, I cut off a piece the size of a fist and had someone roast it over a fire until it softened. After Yuan'er ate it, his bones, muscles, and blood vitality all improved noticeably. Then I thought of a possibility: after consuming Whale Rubber, as long as one does not engage in relations between men and women, all the essence remains sealed within the body, strengthening the bones and muscles. The effect is extremely obvious."

After Chen Xin finished speaking, he stopped and waited for Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong to digest what they had heard.

A gleam flashed through Ning Fengzhi's eyes. If all of this was true, then the value of Whale Rubber would increase greatly.

Gu Rong's focus was entirely different. He spoke suspiciously:

"How did that child Chen Yuan know that consuming Whale Rubber could strengthen one's bones and muscles? Could he have eaten it before?"

Chen Xin answered:

"It was probably a misunderstanding. He said he read in a book that Whale Rubber was a great tonic, that after eating it, one's blood vitality would surge and one would be full of energy without knowing fatigue. We know that refers to an aphrodisiac effect, but he thought it meant strengthening muscles and bones."

Rubbing his chin, Gu Rong said warily:

"Anyway, you must keep your disciple away from Rongrong from now on. If he consumes Whale Rubber in the future and cannot control himself, something could happen. Better yet, you focus on teaching your disciple, and I will keep Rongrong company."

Chen Xin snorted upon hearing this.

"Hmph, he is only six years old. What could he possibly do? You old bastard are using this as an excuse. Are you looking for a beating?"

Seeing Sword and Bone at each other's throats, Ning Fengzhi hurriedly tried to smooth things over:

"If the effect is truly this good, then the sect must purchase Whale Rubber in large quantities from now on. For now, I will give orders to buy up all the Whale Rubber on the market and supply it solely to Chen Yuan. He is the sect's genius, and the sect certainly will not be stingy. We can also see just how much improvement Whale Rubber brings. Depending on the results, we can promote it throughout the sect in the future."

Because of that single sentence from Ning Fengzhi, before long, all the Hundred-Year Whale Gel, Thousand-Year Whale Gel, and Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Gel on the continent's market were quietly bought up.

With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's wealth, there was no pressure in buying Whale Rubber of any age.

This drove countless imperial nobles to rage and curse. Which bastard was so empty that he bought up all the Whale Rubber? Did he want to die directly in bed?
