Sword Shadow Breaks the Sky, Seven Kill Descends

"Senior Chen Xin, perhaps we should just let this go."

"The other party is from the Star Luo Imperial Family. If you go after him, Senior, it might seem like you're bullying the younger generation. The Star Luo Imperial Family might..."

Bai Wanwan said with a feigned sigh.

But in truth, her words were extremely clever. They sounded like an attempt at persuasion, yet while exposing Dai Mubai's identity, she had also backed Chen Xin into a corner.

Someone from the Star Luo Imperial Family had laid hands on the young princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If Chen Xin simply let it go, it would make him seem afraid of the Star Luo Imperial Family, as though he were swallowing his anger and allowing his young princess to be bullied for nothing.

And if the matter could not simply be let go, then Chen Xin would have to stand up for Ning Rongrong.

"Let it go?"

"The Star Luo Imperial Family?"

"Heh~"

"So what if it's the Star Luo Imperial Family?"

Chen Xin gently rubbed Ning Rongrong's head. "If this were a spar between peers, I naturally would not interfere. But Rongrong is merely a Support Type with no ability to defend herself, and this was not a spar between peers."

"Relying on his status as a member of the Star Luo Imperial Family to bully the Heir of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—does he truly think our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has no one?"

"Forget someone from the Star Luo Imperial Family. Even if the Star Luo Emperor himself came, this matter would not be allowed to end like this."

The moment his words fell, a sharp sword condensed from Soul Power appeared before Chen Xin.

Chen Xin took Ning Rongrong onto the Flying Sword. With a swoosh, the sword's shadow tore through the sky, kicking up a powerful wave of air as it shot toward Shrek Academy.

"Tsk~"

"Flying on a sword really is elegant. Too bad I can't do it."

Watching Chen Xin and Ning Rongrong vanish into the distance, Bai Wanwan could not help spreading her hands.

She knew a little swordsmanship, but only the bare basics. She was nowhere near capable of flying while standing on a sword.

"Ling Yuan, just continue to remain stationed at the King's Mansion."

"I'm going to watch the show."

Bai Wanwan lightly tapped the ground with the tip of her foot, her figure landing gracefully atop the eaves of the King's Mansion. After a few leaps and bounds, she vanished beyond sight.

Ling Yuan watched the direction in which Bai Wanwan had disappeared. After some thought, she decided to follow Bai Wanwan's orders and did not choose to follow her.

Shrek Academy.

A sword shadow that seemed capable of slicing cracks into the air tore across the sky and came to a stop above Shrek Academy.

An enormous Seven Kill Sword descended from the air. Its blade hummed, its sharp aura shooting into the heavens. Azure light surged across the sword's body, while invisible sword qi continuously spread outward from the Seven Kill Sword.

Wherever the sword wind passed, ripples spread through space, and even metal and stone would shatter at a touch.

Chen Xin and Ning Rongrong appeared in midair. Long swords condensed from Soul Power formed a descending staircase beneath their feet. With every step Chen Xin took, a flashing Spirit Ring appeared beneath him.

After taking nine steps, nine Spirit Rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—flashed continuously beneath his feet. The aura of a Level 96 Peak Douluo erupted without restraint, centered on his body.

The doors to the rooms throughout Shrek Academy opened one after another.

Dai Mubai was the first to emerge from his room. But upon seeing the figure standing before Ning Rongrong in midair, he could not help swallowing hard and retreating several steps. Even his body trembled faintly as four words gradually surfaced in his mind: Sword Douluo Chen Xin.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin, one of the two Titled Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, was also the sect's Pillar of Heaven and Sea-Supporting Golden Beam. It could even be said that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had attained its current status entirely because Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong supported it.

Dai Mubai knew that Ning Rongrong would find someone to back her up. After all, he had realized at the time that something was wrong. But he truly had not expected Ning Rongrong to summon Chen Xin from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to stand up for her.

Had he known it would be Chen Xin, he should have restrained himself and not attacked Ning Rongrong. Or after attacking her, he should not have returned to Shrek Academy at all and should have just run away.

Now, Dai Mubai could only hope that Headmaster Flender would be able to handle this mess.

"Dai Mubai!"

"I'll be damned, you've got some guts. You really didn't run!"

Ning Rongrong poked her head out from behind Chen Xin and pointed at Dai Mubai below.

Chen Xin also turned his gaze toward Dai Mubai. Those eyes, like an unsheathed blade radiating endless sharpness, made Dai Mubai feel a faint stabbing pain throughout his body.

Dai Mubai retreated several more steps.

"Your Excellency Sword Douluo."

Flender and Zhao Wuji emerged from their rooms and bowed toward Chen Xin in the air.

Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and Xiao Wu followed behind them.

However, the instant Xiao Wu saw Chen Xin, she hid herself behind Tang San.

"A Titled... Titled Douluo!"

"Fuck me!"

"I said from the start that we should enroll in one of those Intermediate Soul Master Academies, but Grandmaster insisted on having Tang Xiao San come to this shitty academy!"

"And now a Titled Douluo has actually appeared here!"

"He can't see me, he can't see me. Please, please, don't let him see me!"

"Beast God, please protect me. Don't let him see me!"

Xiao Wu prayed frantically in her heart, hiding completely behind Tang San without saying a word, doing her best to minimize her presence.

"Xiao Wu, what's wrong?"

"Don't be afraid. I'll protect you."

Tang San turned slightly to look at Xiao Wu, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"Shut up!"

Xiao Wu really wanted Tang San to stop talking, but after thinking it over, she ultimately remained silent and shrank farther behind him.

"Teacher, what is this..."

Seeing that Xiao Wu was not speaking, Tang San was just about to ask Yu Xiaogang something when he saw Yu Xiaogang shake his head slightly without saying a word.

"Flender..."

"Hm?"

Chen Xin turned his gaze toward Flender, then looked past him at Xiao Wu, who was hiding behind Tang San. His eyes narrowed ever so slightly.

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

And one in Humanoid form. If he caught her, wouldn't that mean a 100,000 Year Spirit Ring and a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone?

When Xiao Wu noticed Chen Xin's gaze, her heart sank slightly, and it even felt as though her heart was about to stop beating.

"Why isn't the Beast God protecting me?"

Xiao Wu's mind raced. Her first thought was to run—run back to the Star Dou Great Forest and seek help from her two underlings.

But she was only a Soul Grandmaster. Even if she ran, could she outrun a Titled Douluo?

On the eaves.

Bai Wanwan sat on the edge of the eaves, her long, straight legs swinging in the air. She held a handful of melon seeds, watching the commotion with great interest.

"Tsk~"

"Looks like I wasn't late. In fact, my timing was just perfect."

"Has Xiao Wu's identity been discovered?"

"It seems things have gotten even more interesting."

Bai Wanwan ate melon seeds as she silently watched the spectacle.
