Ye Xiaofeng Successfully Gained Insight

The Shrek Seven Devils trained every morning, then attended two hours of theory classes and two hours of practical combat classes in the afternoon, repeating the routine day after day.

An entire month had passed, yet Ye Xiaofeng was still in Sword Douluo Chen Xin's courtyard, immersed in enlightenment. Today, Sword Douluo had checked Ye Xiaofeng's condition and found signs that he was about to awaken.

Thus, Sword Douluo Chen Xin waited in the courtyard. By noon, Ye Xiaofeng's eyes twitched slightly, followed by his fingers. When Ye Xiaofeng opened his eyes, Sword Douluo was standing before him, watching him.

"Master..." Ye Xiaofeng called out, then fainted, his body about to collapse. Sword Douluo caught him with one arm. After a full month of enlightenment, Ye Xiaofeng's stamina had been severely depleted. Fortunately, Sword Douluo was by his side.

Sword Douluo slowly channeled soul power into him with his other hand and placed a pill in his mouth. By the time Ye Xiaofeng awoke, he was already lying in bed.

"Feng'er, you're awake. How does your body feel?" Sword Douluo looked at him kindly, as though he were looking at his own child.

"Master, I'm fine. How long has it been?" Ye Xiaofeng said as he tried to get out of bed. This was his master's room, and he was lying in Sword Douluo's bed. However, his body was still extremely weak, and after trying, he found himself unable to move.

"You spent an entire month in enlightenment, then just fell unconscious for three days and three nights. Feng'er, your body is still very weak. Rest here and recuperate first. We can talk once you've recovered." Sword Douluo smiled faintly, as though he had seen through Ye Xiaofeng's embarrassment.

"Thank you, Master." Ye Xiaofeng quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Silly boy, you're my disciple. If you died so easily, where would I put this old face of mine?" The first time Sword Douluo saw Ye Xiaofeng, he had felt as though they had known each other for years. It was like gaining a son in his old age, and later, he decided to take Ye Xiaofeng as his final disciple.

After more than a week of recuperation, Ye Xiaofeng's body had fully recovered to its peak condition, and his aura had become even sharper.

"Feng'er, let me see how much you've improved from this enlightenment." Without waiting for Ye Xiaofeng's response, Sword Douluo drew his sword.

"Master, you're really doing this?" Ye Xiaofeng hurriedly raised the Seven Kill Sword to block. Even without using his martial soul, Sword Douluo's attacks were not something ordinary people could withstand.

Ye Xiaofeng kept blocking Sword Douluo's attacks, thinking that if this continued, his soul power would sooner or later be exhausted.

"Master, take this! Soul Skill—Man-Sword Unity!" Ye Xiaofeng directly used the Seven Kill Sword to condense a "Kill" character in the air and sent it flying at Sword Douluo.

"Not bad." Sword Douluo caught the first "Kill" character from Ye Xiaofeng's Seven Kill Sword with one hand.

"Congratulations, Master. You have successfully comprehended the first 'Kill' character of the Seven Kill Sword. Reward: Soul Power Level increased by 5 levels, and all soul rings have broken through to Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings." The voice of Xiao Bing from the Heavenly Mystery System sounded once more.

As Xiao Bing's voice faded, five black Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings slowly descended from above Ye Xiaofeng's head and settled beneath his feet. Sword Douluo Chen Xin was utterly stunned by the sight, but he reacted instantly, waving his hand to form a barrier around the entire courtyard. Without his permission, no one could enter unless they possessed a higher Soul Power Level and forcibly shattered the barrier.

"Feng'er, this..." Although Sword Douluo Chen Xin had heard Ye Xiaofeng say that every time he broke through a realm, his soul rings would improve accordingly, hearing about it and seeing it with his own eyes were entirely different matters.

"Master, it's not just this martial soul. The other one is the same." With an innocent expression, Ye Xiaofeng released his other martial soul, the Jade Swan. Once again, five black Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings slowly descended from above his head.

"This... How is that possible?" Ye Xiaofeng's secret completely overturned Sword Douluo Chen Xin's worldview. Not just Sword Douluo—even a level 99 ultimate powerhouse would have their worldview overturned upon seeing this.

"Master, look." Ye Xiaofeng released his martial soul again in its simulated state, displaying the optimal Soul Ring Configuration of two yellow, two purple, and one black.

"Remember this. From now on, no matter when or where, release your soul rings only in their simulated state. If you weren't my disciple, perhaps even I would be tempted to capture you and study the secrets on your body." Sword Douluo was not joking. The secret Ye Xiaofeng carried was far too conspicuous; it was impossible not to covet it.

"Master, I understand." Ye Xiaofeng was fortunate that he had encountered Sword Douluo Chen Xin. If another Titled Douluo investigated him thoroughly, not only would something happen to him, but Bing'er and the others would be implicated as well.

"Of course, once your strength is sufficient to stand against a Titled Douluo, you can do whatever you want. But the prerequisite is that you must protect yourself. Feng'er, you must understand: what is too rigid is easily broken." Sword Douluo repeatedly warned Ye Xiaofeng, afraid that he would become arrogant and complacent.

"Oh, right. Shopkeeper Li and Luo Shaotian came looking for you earlier. But I had someone inform them that it wasn't convenient for you to meet them while cultivating recently, and that you would naturally seek them out once you had time." Sword Douluo smiled faintly.

"Understood." Ye Xiaofeng had spent a month in enlightenment, which was indeed quite a long time.

"Oh, right, Master. I forgot about what I promised the Sect Master after getting busy." As he spoke, Ye Xiaofeng took out a Black Gold Card containing 200 million from his Soul Guiding Device Storage Ring.

"I'll pass this on to the Sect Master for you. Go out and relax. Don't focus solely on cultivation." One had to let things come naturally and not pursue them blindly.

"Mm, I understand." After saying that, Ye Xiaofeng left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and went to the Heavenly Human World Inn to find Shopkeeper Li.

"Shopkeeper Li, you seem to be in quite the mood," Ye Xiaofeng said as he entered the inn. Shopkeeper Li was at the counter, bent over the account books.

"Can't you see I'm busy? Go entertain the guest," Shopkeeper Li said, completely focused on the ledgers, mistaking Ye Xiaofeng for an inn attendant.

Seeing this, one of the attendants hurriedly tugged at Shopkeeper Li's sleeve. "What is it? Don't you know I'm busy?" Shopkeeper Li snapped at the attendant.

"Shopkeeper, Young Master Ye is here," the attendant said awkwardly.

"Young—Young Master Ye, when did you arrive? Look at me, I'm getting old and muddleheaded." Shopkeeper Li immediately began flattering Ye Xiaofeng.

"Wasn't I the one you just scolded?" Ye Xiaofeng teased with a smile.

"I didn't know Young Master Ye had arrived. Please, upstairs." Shopkeeper Li hurriedly invited Ye Xiaofeng to a private room upstairs. He had specially arranged an exclusive private room for Ye Xiaofeng before. It was well soundproofed, and its window overlooked the street.

"Shopkeeper Li, how has business been lately?" Ye Xiaofeng asked with a smile after sitting down.

"Young Master Ye, this little money isn't enough to spend anywhere. How about we make a fortune at the Great Soul Arena?" Shopkeeper Li hurriedly poured Ye Xiaofeng some wine and instructed the attendants to serve the dishes.

"To get the money before, I had to offer up 400 million, so I don't have much left on me." Ye Xiaofeng explained everything about the Great Soul Arena to Shopkeeper Li from beginning to end.

"So that's how it is. Since the Great Soul Arena is ours now, I suppose Young Master Ye has already thought of a way to make money from it?" Shopkeeper Li smiled at Ye Xiaofeng.

"I've already assigned this matter to Luo Shaotian." Ye Xiaofeng believed Luo Shaotian would not dare to act recklessly. With the rules he had set, there was no way they would fail to make money.
