Douluo: Starting Out by Blasting the Grandmaster

After all, everyone knew that support-system Soul Masters were excellent in every way except for their lack of self-preservation. Now that a support Soul Master even more combat-capable than a battle Soul Master had suddenly appeared, how could they not care?

Most importantly,

According to what they had learned, the reason Food God possessed strength equal to, or even surpassing, battle Soul Masters of the same rank was because of his Self-Created Soul Skills.

And Nine Absolutes knew those Self-Created Soul Skills too.

What did that mean?

It meant that their Self-Created Soul Skills could be widely taught.

Anyone could learn them.

If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could master such Self-Created Soul Skills, the sect's strength would surely improve greatly.

So, they had come.

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's question, Chen Xin said, "That's right, they really are Self-Created Soul Skills. Whether it is the movement technique or the swordsmanship, both are extremely profound."

Ning Fengzhi's eyes immediately lit up. "Then, Uncle Sword, do you think it's possible..."

Seeing the anticipation in Ning Fengzhi's eyes, Chen Xin felt somewhat helpless.

How could he not know what Ning Fengzhi was thinking?

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was one of the Upper Three Sects, its overall strength truly fell far short of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and the Clear Sky Sect.

If things were as they imagined,

Forget catching up to or even surpassing them—simply narrowing the gap between them would not be a problem.

But he knew that possibility was far too slim.

Every Self-Created Soul Skill could only be created when its creator's understanding of a particular trait had reached an extremely deep level.

How could others learn them so easily?

And even if they could learn them, the other party might not be willing to teach them.

They could not exactly use force on two children, could they?

"Whether that's really the case, we'll know after watching Nine Absolutes fight again." Although he knew the hope was slim, Chen Xin did not want to discourage Ning Fengzhi.

"Then let's go take a look." After casting one last expectant glance at Lu Fei on the stage, Ning Fengzhi followed Chen Xin away from Arena Three.

After asking around, the two quickly learned that Nine Absolutes was at Arena One in the same division.

"Nine Absolutes... Nine Absolutes..."

From afar, they could already hear the tidal wave of cheers from the stands.

And when the two arrived at the stands around Arena One,

The fight had just begun.

Seeing Nine Absolutes' strange movement technique and razor-sharp sword qi on the stage, both of their eyes could not help but brighten.

Even Ning Fengzhi, who did not understand swordsmanship,

Could tell at that moment that Nine Absolutes was using the same movement technique and swordsmanship as Food God.

"Uncle Sword..." Ning Fengzhi looked toward Chen Xin.

Chen Xin nodded. "That's right. Their Self-Created Soul Skills come from the same source, and Nine Absolutes uses them even better."

"If I'm not mistaken, he should be the one who created those Soul Skills. As for how Food God, a support Soul Master, learned them, I have no idea."

Upon hearing that, Ning Fengzhi immediately grew excited.

It was actually true.

Since that was the case, regardless of how high the ceiling of those Soul Skills was, he had to find a way to bring both of them into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Even if they could not raise the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's overall strength, it would still be good if Rongrong could improve her personal combat ability.

For a moment, Ning Fengzhi's thoughts became lively.

As for whether the two would refuse,

Ning Fengzhi did not think too much about it.

In his view, no one should refuse an invitation from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Unless the two already had somewhere better to go.

But was that possible?

If they had a better place to go, they would not be scraping by in this Soul Fighting Arena.

He believed

That the reason the two were in the Soul Fighting Arena, even participating in Death Matches and Gambling Duels, was most likely to make a name for themselves and draw the attention of some faction.

In truth, they had succeeded.

Hadn't they attracted him?

Meanwhile,

Chen Xin's thoughts differed from Ning Fengzhi's.

He saw a genius, an unparalleled genius of the sword.

The other's swordsmanship was so profound that even he could not see through it clearly.

And how old was the other party? To create such profound swordsmanship at that age, just how high was his talent in the sword?

It was unimaginable.

At that moment, Chen Xin was moved.

How could such a swordsmanship prodigy be left to wander outside?

He had to take him as a disciple.

Looking across the entire Douluo Continent, other than Chen Xin of the sword, who else was qualified to teach him? Other than this little fellow, who else was qualified to inherit his legacy?

On the stage.

"Pfft..."

As the flying sword pierced through his opponent's chest, Lu Yu claimed another victory.

However, he did not pay attention to the Master of Ceremonies' congratulations. Instead, he immediately turned his gaze toward the stands and quickly found his target through his senses.

What fierce sword intent! Lu Yu's pupils contracted when he saw the target.

He had sensed someone watching him during the fight.

But this person was different from the other spectators.

The other party gave him the feeling of a blade at his back and a thorn in his throat, as though he had been locked onto by a drawn sword.

However, he had been fighting at the time and could not afford to be distracted.

Now that the battle was over, he naturally had to see who it was at once.

But one look gave him quite a fright.

Although there was something unusual in the other's eyes, Lu Yu did not sense any hostility. That fierce sword intent was not because the other party had locked onto him.

Rather, this person's swordsmanship had clearly reached an extremely high realm. Even standing there quietly made him seem like an unsheathed sword.

That fierce sword intent was not leaking out because the other party lacked control over it. It was an attraction between fellow swordsmen.

On the Douluo Continent,

If one were to ask whose attainment in the sword was highest, then it was undoubtedly Chen Xin of the sword.

Combined with his appearance and the person beside him as a reference,

The other's identity was easy to guess.

Yes, it was Chen Xin of the sword.

Seeing him, Lu Yu could not help but frown slightly.

Why were they here?

Although he was now quite famous in Heaven Dou City, that was limited to Heaven Dou City. He was not arrogant enough to think people outside Heaven Dou City knew him.

That could only mean

That they happened to be in Heaven Dou City and had just happened to hear of him.

This was fucking terrible luck.

Being noticed by them was not a good thing.

Although he now had Spirit Hall backing him, the two sides had never gotten along. If they learned that he belonged to Spirit Hall,

The consequences...

Ning Fengzhi might look kind and give off the image of a good old man, but he was the master of a sect—and one of the Upper Three Sects at that.

How could there be so many good old men?

If he truly were a good old man, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would likely have been destroyed long ago.

If they truly had designs on him, Hua Yuan would not be able to stop them.

Do not say they would fear Spirit Hall and not dare act.

For a Title Douluo, silently killing him would be absurdly easy.

Lu Yu noticed Chen Xin, and Chen Xin naturally noticed his gaze as well.

Their eyes met, and Chen Xin smiled knowingly.

As expected of someone he had taken a liking to. That perception was truly sharp.

Of course,

The reason the other party had noticed him was because he had done it deliberately.

Since he intended to take the other party as his disciple, he naturally had to draw his attention first.

Lu Yu gave what he believed was a friendly smile, then withdrew his gaze and walked into the exit passage with uneasy apprehension.

The moment he emerged from the passage, Hua Yuan approached him with a grave expression. "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's master and Sword Douluo Chen Xin are here. It looks like they came for you two."

Hua Yuan had naturally noticed Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin the moment they appeared.

He was a Soul Saint, after all, and he also held a position in the Heaven Dou Holy Temple. He could recognize Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin.

But because of their strength, he had not dared make a fuss.

More than anyone, he understood just how valuable Lu Yu and Lu Fei were, especially those Self-Created Soul Skills. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would certainly be unable to resist the temptation.

If a conflict broke out, he was no match for Sword Douluo. More importantly, even knowing he could not win, he still had no choice but to step forward.

Thus, Hua Yuan was even more nervous than Lu Yu right now.

"Let's see what they have to say first. At least openly, they won't dare make a move." Lu Yu also had a terrible headache over the two unexpected visitors.

Just then, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin walked toward them.

When they saw Hua Yuan, the two could not help but frown slightly.

Although Hua Yuan was only a Soul Saint, he worked at the Heaven Dou Holy Temple and held a fairly high position. It was impossible for Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin not to know him.

They often came and went from Heaven Dou City, so how could they not know which high-level Soul Masters of Spirit Hall's Heaven Dou Holy Temple were worth noting?

Nine Absolutes was actually associating with someone from Spirit Hall.

They had not expected that.

Had they arrived too late? Had Lu Yu already joined Spirit Hall?

Or had he belonged to Spirit Hall from the beginning?

If that was the case...
