Now Ye Chen has unleashed his True Strength.

The hundred-thousand-year spirit ability and the Xuanyuan Holy Sword were both used simultaneously.

This Moment, The Xuanyuan Holy Sword in Ye Chen's hand erupted with a powerful aura, slashing towards Sword Douluo in mid-air!

The Azure Dragon's Might descended as well.

An incredibly terrifying pressure surged towards Sword Douluo.

The Azure Dragon Spirit's First Spirit Ability, Dragon Might!

The hundred-thousand-year spirit ability, Immense Pressure, descended. Even Sword Douluo felt a sliver of pressure.

Ye Chen is so strong.

Sword Douluo felt that under this aura, without using his spirit, even he would find it difficult to resist.

When Sword Douluo saw the Xuanyuan Holy Sword in Ye Chen's hand, he was almost plunged into deep shock.

Sword Douluo's spirit is the Seven Kill Sword.

On the entire continent, no one wields a sword stronger than Sword Douluo.

Sword Douluo's swordsmanship and strength have long been incomparably superb.

But when he saw the Xuanyuan Holy Sword, he still froze in place.

This is... the Xuanyuan Holy Sword!

Among all the swords in the world, no sword can compare to the Xuanyuan Holy Sword.

It can be said that the Xuanyuan Holy Sword is a divine artifact!

A divine artifact that only exists in legends!

And... it's Ye Chen's Third Martial Soul!

"Your Third Martial Soul is actually the Xuanyuan Holy Sword... How is this possible..."

"The Xuanyuan Holy Sword, one of the Ten Great Divine Artifacts that only exist in legends, the Xuanyuan Holy Sword is Enough to cleave heaven and earth. It is an invincible holy sword in legends."

"Today, I actually got to witness the Xuanyuan Holy Sword once..."

There was excitement in Sword Douluo's eyes.

Few things could stir Sword Douluo's heart anymore.

Today, witnessing the emergence of the Xuanyuan Holy Sword brought back memories for Sword Douluo.

The Seven Kill Sword once dominated the world. With such a martial soul, who on the continent could oppose it? Yet, the Seven Kill Sword ultimately declined.

Once one of the Three Great Sects, the Seven Kill Sword sect gradually faded into obscurity, leaving only Sword Douluo.

Few on the continent practiced swordsmanship anymore. Ye Chen's appearance gave Sword Douluo hope for passing on his lifelong learning.

Hope for inheriting the continent's swordsmanship.

A glint of tears appeared in Sword Douluo's eyes. With a smile, the discerning gaze of a Titled Douluo saw Ye Chen's future. With the Xuanyuan Holy Sword, he would be unstoppable!

"I never expected, Little Chen, that you'd force me to use a spirit ability. If I didn't use one now, I might really not be able to block your full power."

"You not only possess a divine artifact like the Xuanyuan Holy Sword, but you also have a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring. This is the genius of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ye Chen."

"Second Spirit Ability, Spirit Sword Guard!"

Sword Douluo's Seven Kill Sword struck, and powerful sword energy formed a two-meter diameter shield around him.

Sword Douluo used his Second Spirit Ability. Of course, he didn't use his full strength, otherwise, the sword energy at that power would endanger Ye Chen's life.

For this defensive capability, Sword Douluo had channeled fifty levels of spirit power, equivalent to his defensive spirit ability.

When Ye Chen's Xuanyuan Holy Sword landed around Sword Douluo, it was blocked.

As expected, Sword Douluo's strength was immense.

But Ye Chen did not retreat a single step.

"Xuanyuan Holy Sword, First Form..."

"Xuanyuan Emerges!"

"Second Form... Xuanyuan Descends!"

The sword in Ye Chen's hand emitted a golden light, and he brought it down towards Sword Douluo's surrounding defense!

Ye Chen intended to clash head-on with the defense Sword Douluo had formed!

How could such a scene not shock Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Ning Fengzhi?

"Fengzhi, that's a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring, I'm not mistaken, am I? And Little Chen... also has the Xuanyuan Holy Sword. That's his Third Martial Soul, isn't it?"

"How could Little Chen possess a Third Martial Soul? On the continent, even I have never heard of anyone with a Third Martial Soul," Bone Douluo exclaimed in shock.

"Little Chen can actually force Uncle Jian to use a spirit ability. A Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ability and a Third Martial Soul are also things I've never heard of," Ning Fengzhi nodded.

Ning Fengzhi looked at Ning Rongrong beside him and found her staring blankly at Ye Chen's figure, her eyes clear, focused, and devoid of any distraction.

It couldn't help but make Ning Fengzhi smile slightly. He suddenly felt a bit fortunate that he had a precious daughter.

As Ye Chen's sword descended, Sword Douluo's gaze gradually changed.

He hadn't expected that

the Second Spirit Ability he used with his level fifty spirit power

would actually... be unable to block Ye Chen's attack!

Sword Douluo could have used greater force to block, but Ye Chen was right in front of him, and he would inevitably be injured.

Sword Douluo chose not to make another move.

With his level fifty spirit power, he could defeat any Soul Ancestor, but in front of Ye Chen, he was helpless.

Boom!!!

The powerful aura of Ye Chen's sword

directly repelled Sword Douluo!

One step, two steps, three steps!

Ye Chen repelled Sword Douluo three steps!

Sword Douluo, a level ninety-six Titled Douluo, was still repelled even after using his Second Spirit Ability for defense.

Then this battle was won by Ye Chen!

"Little Chen, you won."

"A Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring, a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, plus your Third Martial Soul, even I would have to retreat three steps," Sword Douluo said with a smile, looking at Ye Chen with gratification.

After many years apart, seeing Ye Chen again, his cultivation had already reached such a realm!

"Thank you for showing mercy, Grandpa Sword. If Grandpa Sword had used his True Strength, I would definitely not be your opponent," Ye Chen walked up to Sword Douluo.

"Haha, silly child, why would Grandpa use his strength against you? Otherwise, Rongrong wouldn't let me off," Sword Douluo looked at Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong pouted her small mouth, "Hmph, Grandpa Sword, I'm not like that."

Although she said that, she was still happy for Ye Chen in her heart. Being able to repel Grandpa Sword was something most Spirit Masters could never achieve.

"Little Chen, can you let me see your sword?" Sword Douluo asked Ye Chen with a smile.

"Grandpa Sword, my sword is named Xuanyuan Holy Sword, and it is precisely my Third Martial Soul. The only difference is that this Xuanyuan Holy Sword cannot grant spirit rings," Ye Chen said. The Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, Ning Fengzhi, and Rongrong in front of him were all like his kin, so he wouldn't hide any secrets.

"Xuanyuan Holy Sword, it truly is the Xuanyuan Holy Sword."

"Little Chen, this Xuanyuan Holy Sword naturally cannot have a spirit added to it, because it is a divine artifact, a divine artifact that only exists in legends." Grandpa Sword said.

"Divine artifact?" Ye Chen and Ning Rongrong spoke at the same time.

"Of course, when I was young, my father told me that the strongest sword in this world belongs to the Xuanyuan Holy Sword. It is not just a sword, but also a divine artifact. Only gods can truly unleash its power."

"Such a divine artifact already possesses the power of a god, so why would you need to add spirit rings to it?" Grandpa Sword chuckled.

"Little Chen, if you want to use this sword well, you must learn swordsmanship. If you are willing, I can teach you some swordsmanship for self-defense."

"Without swordsmanship, having a sword alone will make it difficult to unleash its power." Grandpa Sword looked at Ye Chen.

Ning Rongrong ran to Grandpa Sword's side, "Grandpa Sword, that's great, hehe, my brother really doesn't know how to use the Xuanyuan Holy Sword. With Grandpa Sword teaching him, my brother's swordsmanship will definitely become even more powerful."

Grandpa Sword looked at Ning Rongrong dotingly and chuckled, "Why are you happier than Little Chen?"

Ning Rongrong blinked her eyes, "Of course! If my brother becomes so powerful, who will dare to bully me in the future?"

Ye Chen bowed slightly to Grandpa Sword, "Grandpa Sword, I also want to learn swordsmanship from you. When using the Xuanyuan Holy Sword, I always feel like I can't unleash its power. Is it only by becoming a god that one can truly utilize this sword's potential?"

Grandpa Sword nodded, "That is natural. To flexibly wield the Xuanyuan Holy Sword, you need to practice swordsmanship for a long time."

"Little Chen, I can guarantee that in the future, you will not only be the number one Support System Soul Master in the world, but also the number one Attack System Soul Master. With this sword, perhaps... no one will be your opponent in the future," Grandpa Sword said.

Thus, over the next three days, Ye Chen practiced swordsmanship with Grandpa Sword.

Ye Chen's use of the Xuanyuan Holy Sword became more proficient.

Ye Chen learned the simple Seven Kill Sword technique.

The first sword: Heavy Sword Without Edge!

The second sword: Seven Emotions, Seven Wounds!

The third sword: Great Skill Lacks Artistry!

The Seven Kill Sword technique is extremely powerful. Even Ye Chen could only master the first sword, Heavy Sword Without Edge, within three days. One strike could unleash six sword lights. When these six sword lights attacked the opponent, they would combine to form a "killing" character-shaped sword light that attacked the opponent. Upon hitting the opponent, the sword light would erupt with a powerful impact force that spread outwards.

Three days later.

Grandpa Sword looked at Ye Chen with satisfaction and exclaimed.

"Little Chen, you learned the first form of the Seven Kill Sword technique in just three days. Even I took over a year to learn it back then." Grandpa Sword gave a wry smile, thinking that perhaps only a genius like Ye Chen could comprehend the first form of the Seven Kill Sword technique in three days.

"Grandpa Sword, that's because my brother is smart." Ning Rongrong giggled. For the past three days, she had been accompanying Ye Chen, watching him cultivate, though she didn't neglect her own practice.

"You girl, you really can't stay home as you get older," Grandpa Sword shook his head. Ever since Ning Rongrong returned, she had changed a lot from before.

"Grandpa Sword, what did Rongrong do wrong? Hmph, I was just stating the facts," Ning Rongrong said softly.

"Grandpa Sword, when can I start learning the second level of the sword technique?" Ye Chen asked.

After learning the Seven Kill Sword Technique, Ye Chen realized how terrifying it was. The first level, 'Heavy Sword Without Edge,' was merely an introduction.

Only by mastering the second level, 'Seven Emotions, Seven Injuries,' could one truly understand the profound mysteries of the Seven Kill Sword Technique.

"Little Chen, 'Seven Emotions, Seven Injuries' is the sword manual for the second level. To learn it, you must first understand the seven emotions and six desires."

"When you find someone you love, perhaps you can try to learn this sword technique," Grandpa Sword said with a smile.

"Someone I love..." Ye Chen's gaze shifted to Ning Rongrong, who was not far away.

"Brother, why are you looking at me? You'll need to find a sister-in-law in the future," Ning Rongrong said, her cheeks flushing as she looked at Ye Chen.

"Brother won't find a sister-in-law. I promised you I would always protect you," Ye Chen said, looking at the girl before him. Rongrong, you're truly beautiful.

With Rongrong by his side, how could Ye Chen even glance at other girls?

Even Qian Renxue, Ye Chen hadn't paid much attention to.

In his heart, Rongrong was the most beautiful. Of course, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were just as lovely.

"I know," Ning Rongrong finally nodded. If Ye Chen had actually dared to agree to find a sister-in-law, she would have bitten him.

In the main hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Fengzhi, Grandpa Sword, and Bone Douluo were all seated together.

There was a hint of relief in their gazes.

"Fengzhi, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has produced geniuses like Little Chen and Rongrong. Rongrong already has the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, and Little Chen's talent is even more remarkable. Our sect should also develop and grow stronger as soon as possible."

"If the people from Martial Soul Hall see Little Chen's talent, perhaps..." Bone Douluo said.

Martial Soul Hall would do anything for a genius, such as... eliminating Ye Chen.

Ye Chen wasn't dazzling enough yet to enter Martial Soul Hall's sight. Once he did, no one knew what crisis might arise.

"Martial Soul Hall." Upon hearing the name, Grandpa Sword's entire body exuded a chilling Sword Intent.

His father had died challenging Qian Daoliu of Martial Soul Hall, and he wasn't even allowed to seek revenge.

Sword Douluo's hatred for Martial Soul Hall goes without saying. He wouldn't seek revenge, but he always understood that his father died because of Martial Soul Hall.

"Uncle Gu is right. What we need to do is make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect stronger. Perhaps there will be a great change on this continent in the future."

"As one of the Upper Three Sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect won't be easily offended by Martial Soul Hall. Offending us would be equivalent to offending the Heaven Dou Empire at the same time," Ning Fengzhi said, standing with his hands behind his back.

"Fengzhi, Rongrong is very different towards Little Chen. They are almost fourteen years old," Sword Douluo said.

"Fourteen years old, the children have all grown up."

"Why don't you make the decision this time, Fengzhi, and arrange an engagement between Little Chen and Rongrong? They don't have a sibling relationship originally," Uncle Gu said with a smile.

Sword Douluo and Uncle Gu, for once, agreed.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head. "They are still young. As for Little Chen and Rongrong's matters, let them resolve it themselves. The two of them won't run away."

"Where can my future son-in-law run off to? Besides, she's a beautiful girl like Rongrong. Since Little Chen said he would protect her for a lifetime, he will protect her for a lifetime," Ning Fengzhi said with a slight smile.

"Son-in-law..." Sword Douluo and Uncle Gu both smiled faintly.

So, in the Sect Master's eyes, Ye Chen had long been considered his son-in-law.

After all, Ning Fengzhi was the only one who knew Ye Chen's background.

Only Ning Fengzhi knew what kind of existences Ye Chen's parents were.

Perhaps, from the time Ye Chen first joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as a child, he had already gained Ning Fengzhi's attention. Otherwise, why would Ning Fengzhi have let Ning Rongrong and Ye Chen be together since they were young?

These days at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ye Chen and Ning Rongrong continued to cultivate together.

Just like in their childhood, happy and joyful.

However, unlike in their childhood, Ning Rongrong was very considerate, cooking for Ye Chen and washing his clothes.

The sun set.

The back mountain of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Rongrong wore a green skirt, with snow-white, slender legs. She always wore skirts, possessing a fairy-like aura, pure and flawless.

"Brother, do I look good in this outfit today?" Ning Rongrong lightly spun around in front of Ye Chen, her smile captivating.

"Mm, it looks good, but the skirt is too short."

"Don't wear such short skirts in the future." Ye Chen walked forward, frowning slightly. Although it looked good, allowing him to see her snow-white, slender legs directly, if she weren't wearing shorts underneath, she might have exposed herself.

"Don't you like it?" Ning Rongrong stood in front of Ye Chen, looking wronged, and lowered her head.

"I like it, but I don't want others to see it either. If that happens, I always feel a bit uncomfortable," Ye Chen said honestly, not lying. He himself didn't understand what kind of feeling this was.

It was fine at Shrek Academy. Although Ning Rongrong also wore a short skirt, it wasn't as short as this one.

"As long as you like it, I'm wearing it. It's for you to see anyway."

"Don't be angry anymore. I won't wear this when there are many people around in the future." Ning Rongrong's cheeks turned even redder. The sunset cast a glow on her profile, making her exceptionally beautiful.

"Okay." Ye Chen nodded, ruffled Ning Rongrong's head, and turned to cultivate.

"Hmph, what a blockhead." Ning Rongrong shook her head gently, but she enjoyed this feeling. Time spent with Ye Chen was always the happiest.

"I'm dressed so nicely, and you don't even look at me more. Aren't you afraid someone will snatch me away?" Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue.

"I can tell Xiao Ao seems to like you," Ye Chen said casually.

"But I like..." Ning Rongrong wanted to say something, but seeing Ye Chen's serious and focused look on cultivation, she didn't say it out loud. She would tell that foolish blockhead after the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

She was so beautiful, so naturally, many people liked her. From childhood to adulthood, various boys pursued her, but she never even glanced at them.

"Blockhead, are you really not afraid I'll be snatched away?" Ning Rongrong walked near Ye Chen and said softly.

"Then he'd have to be able to snatch you away." Ye Chen turned back and said only a simple sentence, which made Ning Rongrong stare blankly.

"What are you staring blankly at? We should go find Uncle Ning. I've prepared so many pills. If Uncle Ning sees them, maybe he can even break through to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda." Ye Chen directly took Ning Rongrong's hand and walked towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect main hall.

"Hehe, holding a girl's hand means you have to be responsible," Ning Rongrong said with a smile like a blooming flower. She let Ye Chen hold her hand as they walked on the lawn and the small path, feeling the breeze and listening to the birdsong around them, like the most beautiful scenery.

"Responsible for how long?" Ye Chen asked.

"Hmm... for a lifetime, I guess." Ning Rongrong replied.

"Then I'll be responsible for a lifetime." Ye Chen looked at the girl beside him, feeling Ning Rongrong's soft small hand, and smiled brilliantly. Although they were still young, some feelings were already destined.
