One Person Was an Era!

At this moment, endless violet energy spread through Chen Feng's hand, and a purple bolt of lightning silently appeared in his palm.

That terrifying purple lightning gradually condensed into shape, becoming a violet longsword. The sword was immensely terrifying, carrying a violent aura that faintly distorted the surrounding space.

Two soul rings emerged from Chen Feng's body: one yellow soul ring and one purple soul ring.

The two soul rings rose and fell around Chen Feng's body as a terrifying aura continuously spread from them.

At this moment, Chen Feng seemed to be filled with a sharp, cutting presence, as though he had become an unparalleled blade capable of shattering space with the slightest touch.

The purple longsword floated at his side, slowly rotating as it released its lethal aura.

Terrifying violet flames coiled around the longsword.

Chen Xin stared at Chen Feng in utter shock. He froze where he stood, staring at Chen Feng in astonishment.

At this moment, Chen Xin was even more shocked than he had been when he first saw Kamisato Ayaka.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin immediately asked in alarm, "Xiao Feng, wh-what is going on?"

"Why have your martial soul and soul rings become like this?"

"And weren't you only level nineteen? In just a few days, you... broke through to level twenty-eight? You advanced nine levels in only a few days. How did you do that?"

Chen Xin's eyes were filled with shock. He stood there dumbfounded, as if he no longer recognized his own grandson.

He clearly remembered that when Chen Feng left home, he had only just reached level nineteen. Yet now, he had already broken through to level twenty-eight.

Such cultivation speed was simply like flying.

Chen Feng smiled calmly. "Grandfather, this is the surprise I wanted to give you."

"Xiao Feng, what exactly is going on?" Chen Xin immediately asked.

Chen Feng looked at Sword Douluo Chen Xin. He did not tell his grandfather about the system, merely saying calmly, "Grandfather, my Iron Sword martial soul may actually be the most special martial soul in this world."

"Grandfather tested your martial soul before. It truly is a mutated martial soul, but why do you say it is the most special martial soul?" Chen Xin asked in confusion.

Chen Feng said calmly, "Grandfather, my martial soul can evolve!"

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Chen Xin looked at him in immense shock. "Y-you said what?"

"I said my martial soul can evolve!" Chen Feng repeated.

Chen Xin stood there blankly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

After a long while, Chen Xin took a deep breath and slowly let it out.

The next moment, Chen Xin became wildly delighted and burst into laughter.

"HAHAHAHA!"

"I knew it! Heaven truly favors the Chen Clan!

Hahahahahaha!

Heaven has not treated me, Chen Xin, poorly! How fortunate!

Xiao Feng, Grandfather knew you were a late bloomer. I knew you would become strong. Grandfather did not misjudge you."

Chen Xin immediately laughed heartily.

Chen Xin looked at Chen Feng and said, "Xiao Feng, you have truly given me too great a surprise. You know that our Chen Clan is a family of sword cultivators. For generations, we have been the foremost masters of the sword path on the continent.

My grandfather, Chen Xun, was once the strongest person on the continent. With the Seven Kill Sword in hand, he stood at the pinnacle of the continent. He challenged the great sects, defeated their experts, and was invincible beneath the heavens.

My father, Chen Jianjun, was also invincible beneath the heavens. Back then, alongside Tang Chen, Qian Daoliu, Bo Saixi, and others, he was hailed as one of the continent's peerless prodigies, and he too was invincible.

However, when he challenged Spirit Hall, he narrowly lost to Qian Daoliu by a single move. It remained the regret of his life.

Though my talent is inferior to that of our ancestors, I barely managed to become a Title Douluo. Your father may not be particularly strong, but he has reached the Soul Douluo realm. In the future, it is not impossible for him to attain the Title Douluo realm.

But you... because your martial soul mutated when you were young, no one thought highly of you.

Yet Grandfather has always admired your character. I knew you would become strong. I never expected you to give me such a surprise!"

"Xiao Feng, with such talent, your future achievements will certainly not be low."

Chen Xin continued.

Seeing his grandfather's satisfied expression, Chen Feng smiled faintly as well.

Chen Xin continued, "I examined your current martial soul. Its strength is already comparable to my Seven Kill Sword. Can your martial soul still evolve?"

Chen Feng nodded. "It can still evolve!"

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Chen Xin became even more excited. He said in immense shock, "Really? Your martial soul can actually continue evolving?

Then we have completely misjudged you. If you continue evolving, the quality of your martial soul will surpass the Seven Kill Sword and become the continent's strongest tool martial soul! In that case, you may perhaps reach the realm of our ancestor Chen Xun.

No, perhaps you can even strive for the legendary realm.

Hahahaha, Xiao Feng, you have truly given me far too great a surprise."

Chen Feng looked at his grandfather, then said, "Grandfather, there has always been a question I wanted to ask you."

"What question?"

Chen Feng then asked, "Grandfather, the Chen Clan has been a family of sword cultivators since our ancestors' time, so why did we not establish our own sect? Why do we instead rely on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

Hearing Chen Feng's question, Chen Xin did not hide anything. He said, "Xiao Feng, do you know what sword cultivation requires besides increasing one's level?"

Chen Feng shook his head.

Chen Xin said, "It requires comprehending the Dao!"

"Comprehending the Dao?" Chen Feng asked in surprise.

Chen Xin nodded. "That's right. Comprehending the Dao. Beyond the soul skills one naturally possesses, the sword path one comprehends for oneself is also extremely important. Our ancestor only became the continent's strongest person after comprehending an unrivaled sword path.

If you can comprehend a sword path that belongs to you and master it completely, then your sword will no longer need to rely on specific soul skills. You will attain the realm where man and sword are one.

At that time, whether petty villains or demons and monsters, no matter what stands before you, all can be cut down with a single strike!

However, in our clan, only my grandfather ever reached that realm. Thus, that era was an era belonging to him alone. With one man and one sword, he stood at the peak of Douluo and was invincible.

After my father fought Qian Daoliu, he too had one foot in that realm. Unfortunately, his injuries were too severe, and he ultimately perished.

As for me, the legendary sword path remains far beyond my reach.

Therefore, in pursuit of the purest Dao, we all chose to withdraw from worldly affairs and devote ourselves to studying the sword path.

From our ancestors until now, nearly every member of our family has been obsessed with studying their own sword path. That is why the Chen Clan has always passed down through a single line and never developed any great power."

Chen Xin looked at Chen Feng and said, "Xiao Feng, power and influence are merely external things. What matters most is that you comprehend a sword path of your own. At that time, you alone will be an era!"
