The Appeal of the Sun Radiance Sword Art—Who's Talking About Me?

"Xue'er, you said this kid had found a way to achieve Martial Soul Evolution. We know about that, and we believe you."

"But you also said that he had remarkably far-sighted views and insights when it came to statecraft, and could even come up with solutions."

"And that, in just half a month, he had improved a self-created sword art whose strongest move was only equivalent to a Hundred-Year Soul Skill into one whose first move was already equivalent to a Hundred-Year Soul Skill, while its final move rivaled a Soul Skill of tens of thousands of years."

"Don't you think what you're saying is simply too unbelievable?"

After hearing Qian Renxue out, before Qian Daoliu could speak, Golden Crocodile Douluo could not help but sigh.

Though he did not say it outright, Golden Crocodile Douluo's meaning was obvious. It was practically the same as saying: We simply can't believe a word of this!

It was not just Golden Crocodile Douluo. The other Grand Enforcers felt the same way.

They were quite helpless about what Qian Renxue had just said.

Xue'er! Xue'er!

It was not that they did not want to believe her, but what she had said was simply too absurd.

They were not idiots!

They wanted to believe her, but even if she was going to lie, she should at least keep it somewhat grounded in reality, right?

If a six-year-old brat was really that incredible, then what reason would they have left to live!

Still, putting everything else aside.

Regarding what Qian Renxue had just said about statecraft, whether it was Qian Daoliu or the other six Grand Enforcers, they all felt that it made a great deal of sense and displayed considerable insight.

But they believed Qian Renxue had learned those things from the books she read.

She had merely forced them onto Gu Han.

Could a six-year-old child understand such things?

In any case, they did not believe it.

Qian Renxue was actually quite helpless about this.

Because everything she had said was true, without the slightest exaggeration. If Gu Han were not such a monster, how could she possibly have fallen for him?

Although Qian Renxue had high standards when it came to looks, she definitely was not someone obsessed with appearances!

"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, I'll show you the proof!"

Seeing that neither her grandfather nor the other six grandfatherly Grand Enforcers believed her, Qian Renxue was deeply helpless. She could only take out the Sun Radiance Sword Art Gu Han had given her earlier and hand it to her grandfather, Qian Daoliu.

"This is?"

Taking the wooden box containing the Sun Radiance Sword Art manual, Qian Daoliu frowned slightly and opened it curiously.

Inside lay a sword manual made of an extremely peculiar material.

Written prominently on its cover were the words: Sun Radiance Sword Art!

"Sun Radiance Sword Art?"

Qian Daoliu was somewhat surprised as he muttered the name of the sword art.

The other six Grand Enforcers also gathered around curiously.

"Grandfather, I heard before that Gu Han had made an agreement at Spirit City Junior Soul Master Academy to fight a youth from the Blood Demon Berserk Bear Family named Xiong Ba one year later, to prove that he was qualified to become that woman's disciple."

"I was worried he would not be a match for his opponent, so I took a treasured sword called the Sun Radiance Sword and a copy of the Rising Sun Sword Art from the treasury and gave them to him."

"After Gu Han learned the Rising Sun Sword Art, it took him less than half a month to improve it into this Sun Radiance Sword Art."

"I've practiced this Sun Radiance Sword Art too. Its first move really is equivalent in power to a Hundred-Year Soul Skill, and its final move should be comparable to a Soul Skill of tens of thousands of years. I really wasn't lying to you!"

After giving the Sun Radiance Sword Art manual to Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue continued doing her best to explain on Gu Han's behalf.

But Qian Daoliu and the other six Grand Enforcers remained noncommittal and did not answer.

Their eyes were all fixed on the Sun Radiance Sword Art manual as they frowned, secretly studying the Soul Power circulation route of the first form of the Sun Radiance Sword Art: Sun Rises in the East.

Suddenly, Qian Daoliu abruptly turned around and pointed at the wall.

In an instant, more than a hundred golden strands of Sword Qi shot from Qian Daoliu's fingertip like a rain of arrows, blasting into the wall and riddling a large section of it with holes.

"Hiss!"

The six Grand Enforcers could not help drawing in sharp breaths.

The power of the first form of this Sun Radiance Sword Art really seemed to be comparable to a Hundred-Year Soul Skill!

Could Xue'er have been telling the truth?

On the Douluo Continent, Soul Rings contained Soul Skills.

As a result, Soul Masters generally did not specifically study how to create their own Soul Skills. Basically, only Soul Master Families and sects with long historical legacies possessed inherited self-created Soul Skills.

Yet most of these self-created Soul Skills were, at best, equivalent to Hundred-Year Soul Skills!

Only self-created Soul Skills passed down by top-tier powers, such as the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer and Great Sumeru Hammer inherited by the Clear Sky Sect, the Heart Separation Control inherited by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Seven Kill Sword Art inherited by the Seven Kill Sword Family, and the Angel Sword Art inherited by the angel family, the Qian Family—

Only these self-created Soul Skills passed down by top families could produce effects surpassing Thousand-Year and Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skills.

Especially the Great Sumeru Hammer passed down with the Clear Sky Hammer. Its Ring Detonation secret technique could detonate all Soul Rings, draw upon all of their Soul Power, and release it in a single burst.

Basically, if a Titled Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect mastered the Great Sumeru Hammer: Ring Detonation, then even if their Ninth Spirit Ring was not a hundred thousand years old, they could use the secret art of Ring Detonation to unleash an attack comparable to a hundred-thousand-year spirit skill.

However, for quite a long time afterward, they would be unable to use spirit skills and would lose most of their combat strength!

But as a life-or-death trump card, this move was undoubtedly incredibly powerful!

And the first stance of the Sun Radiance Sword Art—Sun Rises in the East—was already as powerful as a Hundred-Year Soul Skill.

If the power of its final stance truly rivaled a spirit skill of several tens of thousands of years.

Then it could be said to be a Self-Created Soul Skill second only to the Clear Sky Sect's Great Sumeru Hammer, worthy of serving as the most important inheritance of a top-tier Soul Master Family or sect!

Thus, upon discovering that the first stance of the Sun Radiance Sword Art—Sun Rises in the East—really was comparable in power to a Hundred-Year Soul Skill, Qian Daoliu's eyes flashed, and he put it away.

"This Sun Radiance Sword Art should be fine, based on what Xue'er said."

After putting away the Sun Radiance Sword Art, Qian Daoliu spoke calmly.

"But that doesn't prove this sword art was improved by that brat from the Rising Sun Sword Art."

"Although these two sword arts are somewhat similar, perhaps it was a Self-Created Soul Skill left behind by some other senior, which he happened to discover in the library and Archives of our Spirit City before claiming it as his own?"

The appearance of the Sun Radiance Sword Art had indeed changed Qian Daoliu's impression of Gu Han considerably.

Based on his understanding of Self-Created Soul Skills, especially sword arts.

Qian Daoliu felt that the Sun Radiance Sword Art might indeed have come from Gu Han's own hand.

Because this sword art was completely different in style from every Self-Created Soul Skill on the continent that he knew of.

But that stinking brat had stolen away his beloved granddaughter. Qian Daoliu still felt resentful and displeased, so how could he admit that this was a spirit skill Gu Han had created?

Wouldn't that just be giving the brat more face?

So Qian Daoliu chose to stubbornly deny it.

"Big Brother, we haven't finished reading the Sun Radiance Sword Art yet. How about we study it together some more and see whether what Xue'er said is true?"

Having only read the first stance of the Sun Radiance Sword Art, and having discovered that its power was already comparable to a Hundred-Year Soul Skill, the other six Enforcers were all deeply tempted. Subduing Demon Douluo shamelessly asked.

"Study my ass!"

But Qian Daoliu glared at them directly.

"Don't think I don't know what you're all thinking. This Sun Radiance Sword Art belongs to Xue'er. How can you elders still be coveting something that belongs to a junior?"

With their little scheme exposed, the other six Enforcers all laughed awkwardly.

"Xue'er, go back first."

"If this Gu Han is really as you say, then he is indeed worthy of you. Your grandfather isn't some old-fashioned fossil, and in my eyes, age isn't a problem either."

"But what you've told me is still too hard to believe. Your grandfather needs to investigate it properly."

After returning the Sun Radiance Sword Art to Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu clasped his hands behind his back and spoke slowly.

"If he really is as you say, then your grandfather will agree to let you be with him."

"But if he isn't, then hmph hmph!"

Qian Daoliu snorted coldly a few times.

Meanwhile, in a standalone courtyard somewhere in Spirit City.

As though sensing something, Gu Han, who was feeding Sacred Dragon Dragon Soul Beast flesh and Spirit Medicine with the Light Attribute, suddenly sneezed.

"Who is it? Who's talking about me?"
