Soul Douluo Chen Xin Makes a Move

Xiao Lan's words were both tactful and cutting—she knew perfectly well what was going on but played dumb.

She was only an employee, making a living off her own abilities. If everyone acted like Tang Hao, shouting and throwing tantrums while refusing to pay, she would be unhappy at work too.

"No! You have to take this money!"

Tang Hao panicked. He could lose face himself, but the World's First Sect, the Clear Sky Sect, absolutely could not lose face!

Ah Yin watched Tang Hao's string of actions with a face full of confusion.

"Fu Ye, didn't that uncle just say the food was bad and that he didn't want to pay? Why is he forcing that sister to take the money now?"

"I don't know. Maybe he just couldn't find his money earlier."

The nearby diners overheard Ah Yin and Fu Ye's conversation, and soon, people began chuckling quietly.

The food was bad, so he wouldn't pay. Then he forced them to take his money. Maybe he just couldn't find his money.

After hearing Fu Ye and Ah Yin's words, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao could no longer keep their expressions straight. Their faces twisted slightly. As the twin prodigies of the Clear Sky Sect, renowned throughout the outside world as the World's First Sect, when had they ever suffered such humiliation?

Yet before Tang Hao could fully release his Soul Power as a Soul Douluo, the young man who had just paid Xiao Lan suddenly erupted with a Soul Power fluctuation that was not the slightest bit weaker than Tang Hao's.

"My friend, I come to this Gathering Fragrance Pavilion often. Both the taste and the prices suit me just fine. If you don't like it, you can leave. They never asked you to pay, but if you want to wreck this place, then this longtime customer won't agree to it."

He slowly rose to his feet, his gaze like a sword as he stared at Tang Hao. At the same time, upon sensing that formidable Soul Power fluctuation, Tang Xiao immediately stepped in front of his younger brother.

Fu Ye raised an eyebrow at the sight, because his system had just provided him with the young man's detailed information.

"Sword Saint Chen Xin."

Chen Xin

Age: Sixty

Identity: The sole surviving descendant of the Battle Spirit Sect, the current sole inheritor of the Seven Kill Sword Spirit, once the continent's Strongest Tool Spirit.

Level: Eighty-nine

Spirit: Seven Kill Sword (Yellow Yellow Purple Purple Black Black Black Black)

The two sides stood at sword's point, and the surrounding diners did not even dare breathe loudly. Yet Tang Hao turned his gaze toward Fu Ye, who was sitting on the second floor watching the excitement, a cold gleam in his eyes.

"If you're going to fight, fight outside. Don't ruin Gathering Fragrance Pavilion's business."

Sword Saint Chen Xin did not waste words with them. He had been idle for far too long lately, and his hands had been itching for a fight. It just so happened that he had run into these two Soul Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect causing trouble at a restaurant he frequented.

The Clear Sky Sect had stolen the title of Strongest Tool Spirit from the Battle Spirit Sect's Seven Kill Sword, and he had always wanted to personally reclaim that title.

"Hmph! I'll leave the money here. I, Tang Hao, am not someone who can't even afford a meal!"

Tang Hao directly placed the bag of money on the table, but Xiao Lan paid him no attention. After settling Chen Xin's bill, she went off to handle other matters.

As for the other servers? They were now using their work to buy houses, marry wives, and achieve financial freedom. Why would they care about Tang Hao's paltry sum? Besides, this place had rules—thieves would be fired immediately. They were not stupid!

And so, everyone witnessed this comical scene: six or seven servers on the first floor, yet not a single one paid Tang Hao any attention.

"Wow, it's rare to see the Clear Sky Sect's twin prodigies get shut down like this."

"Haha, what twin prodigies? More like twin disasters! Hahaha!"

"This is bad. Gathering Fragrance Pavilion is famous around here. Once they update the blacklist tomorrow, won't the Clear Sky Sect be embarrassed?"

"Wow, this is so exciting. But who is that young man? His aura is completely no weaker than Tang Hao's or Tang Xiao's."

Amid everyone's discussion, Chen Xin and the brothers Tang Hao and Tang Xiao walked out the door.

As dusk approached, there were far fewer pedestrians on the streets. Upon seeing Chen Xin and the Tang brothers facing off, many people stopped from a distance to watch the show.

Tang Hao and Tang Xiao were well-known in Heaven Dou City. The only question was, who was the man standing opposite them?

Fu Ye was currently searching through the System Shop.

"Found it!"

Item: Great Perfection Sword Intent; Stock: 99999; Price: 0 (Maximum of one may be taken at a time)

Item: Enlightenment Opportunity; Stock: 99999; Price: 0 (Maximum of one may be taken at a time)

Fu Ye tapped to confirm the purchase.

Congratulations, Host, for purchasing Great Perfection Sword Intent ×1. Congratulations, Host, for purchasing Enlightenment Opportunity ×1.

Congratulations, Host, for integrating Great Perfection Sword Intent!

Great Perfection Sword Intent instantly flooded Fu Ye's body. This Sword Dao Realm felt as though he had tempered it for thousands upon thousands of years; he could wield it with perfect ease, releasing and withdrawing it at will.

Looking down at Sword Saint Chen Xin, who had stepped forward for Gathering Fragrance Pavilion, Fu Ye smiled.

"Tang Hao, Level Eighty-three Assault System Soul Douluo, Spirit: Clear Sky Hammer."

"Tang Xiao, Level Eighty-three Assault System Soul Douluo, Spirit: Clear Sky Hammer. May I ask how you are addressed?"

Tang Hao and Tang Xiao both displayed their strength, while Chen Xin's eyes were now filled with fighting intent.

"Chen Xin, Level Eighty-nine Assault System Soul Douluo, Spirit: Seven Kill Sword!"

As his words fell, a murderous aura instantly spread through the surrounding air. A sharp longsword, gleaming coldly in the night, appeared in his hand.

"Seven Kill Sword! You're the surviving descendant of the Battle Spirit Sect—Sword Saint Chen Xin!"

As one of the Earth Three Sects, the Battle Spirit Sect possessed the immensely powerful Seven Kill Sword spirit. It had once held the title of Strongest Tool Spirit. If Tang Hao's grandfather, Tang Chen, had not swept across the continent single-handedly with his Clear Sky Hammer spirit, the Seven Kill Sword would still be the Number One Tool Spirit on the Continent!

However, the Seven Kill Sword was passed down through a single lineage. The previous sect leader, Chen Xin's father, had challenged Limit Douluo Qian Daoliu in pursuit of a breakthrough, only to die at Spirit Hall's hands. Internal strife followed, and the Battle Spirit Sect declined completely.

Tang Hao and Tang Xiao had not expected to run into him here by such a coincidence.

It was said that every Battle Spirit Sect Disciple possessed a sword spirit, and each one was an absolute battle maniac. As the Sect Leader's Son, Sword Saint Chen Xin was even more extreme!

"Words are pointless. Today, I'll see whether your Clear Sky Hammers are truly as formidable as the rumors claim."

The moment he finished speaking, an indescribably grim killing intent instantly blanketed the entire area. Tang Hao and Tang Xiao exchanged a glance, each seeing the gravity in the other's eyes.

Still, although their opponent was five levels higher than them, there were two of them!

One Step, One Kill; Seven Steps, Seven Kills!

Buzz!

As the longsword hummed, Sword Saint Chen Xin was instantly enveloped in dense sword aura. Like the protective energy of a martial arts master, it covered his body's surface, yet it also carried terrifying cutting power, capable of shredding anything that touched him to pieces.

First Spirit Ability, Longsword Out of Sheath!
