Chen Xin's Sword Breaks Gu Rong

How could Ye Shengxin not be furious after hearing those words?

Even a clay figurine has a temper, let alone a living, breathing person.

Ye Shengxin summoned his martial soul, and the light of the Nine Heart Begonia slowly emerged.

Pure and noble!

Just as Ye Shengxin was about to step forward, a hand pressed him back down: "Leave the rest to me."

A calm voice, filled with a sense of security, rang in Ye Shengxin's ear.

Ye Shengxin's Father looked toward the source of the sound and saw Xu Xiao standing beside Ye Shengxin, his hand resting gently on the boy's shoulder.

Beside Xu Xiao, a young man held a sword, his gaze cold and profound, staring intensely at the group below.

The youth took a step forward, his long sword pointing directly at Gu Rong opposite him:

"Heh, I wondered who it was; so it's you, Gu Rong!"

"How long has it been? Have you really fallen so low as to bully a kid from the Ye Family? I told you back then that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect academy was full of people who bully the weak and fear the strong. Hmph, look at you—you've certainly mastered their essence."

"You've thrown away every shred of dignity a soul master has."

Xu Xiao listened to Chen Xin's words, looking at the man before him in disbelief. This person was actually Gu Rong?

The future Bone Douluo, Gu Rong?

Judging by Chen Xin's words, the other party was in an academy subordinate to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the two of them actually knew each other?

On second thought, it seemed possible; otherwise, how would Gu Rong join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect later, and even drag Chen Xin along with him?

The two knew each other now, and judging by the situation, their relationship didn't seem great—it was the type where both sides looked down on the other.

When Gu Rong saw the sword-wielding youth, his expression changed instantly. Damn it, it's Chen Xin!!

How did this guy appear here?

"Chen Xin, the thing I hate most is that high-and-mighty attitude of yours."

"What right do you have to lecture me here!!!"

Gu Rong gritted his teeth, his eyes locked onto Chen Xin, feeling extremely displeased with his attitude.

Back when they first met, Chen Xin had told Gu Rong not to stay at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect academy and to follow him instead.

Chen Xin had the ability to take Gu Rong under his wing.

But the pride carved into Gu Rong's bones wouldn't let him lower his head; he didn't want to rely on Chen Xin's influence, wanting only to rely on himself.

Young people are all concerned with face, always thinking they can achieve what they want through their own efforts.

But reality often hits them hard, forcing them to recognize that without the help of a benefactor or the foresight of a prophet, it is difficult to reach the peak on one's own.

Even Xu Xiao needed a guardian; otherwise, it would be too difficult to grow.

As time passed, Chen Xin spoke to him more often, and Gu Rong grew annoyed, feeling even more disgusted by Chen Xin's self-righteous attitude.

After a falling out, they lost contact.

Now, meeting again, Chen Xin's words made Gu Rong even more furious!

Every single time, you deny my efforts. Do you really think you're so great!!

Gu Rong's eyes were filled with rage.

But Chen Xin shook his head: "I did that for your own good!"

"Look at yourself, what are you doing now?"

"Bullying the weak—is this what you wanted?"

"Falling so low as to bully a support-type soul master; is this the 'upholding justice' you talked about back then?"

"Is this what the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect taught you??"

"Is this what you wanted?"

"Gu Rong, you make me look down on you!!"

The more Chen Xin spoke, the angrier he became. He never expected Gu Rong to turn into this; it was truly infuriating.

If he had listened earlier, how could things have ended up like this?

Chen Xin also blamed himself for not being more forceful back then and dragging Gu Rong away, which might have prevented him from falling to this point.

Gu Rong's face was unsightly. He knew he was in the wrong today, but there was no help for it; he had no power or status in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect academy and could only obey his teachers.

Xu Xiao watched the two confront each other, finding it quite interesting.

He hadn't expected them to have such a history; it was beyond his expectations.

Ye Shengxin also recognized Chen Xin, though he was curious how Chen Xin had appeared, and from his own home at that.

He looked curiously at his father, but the man shook his head. He didn't know either; he had no idea how this kid had managed to summon Chen Xin in such a short time.

But curiosity aside, this wasn't the time to dwell on it. With Chen Xin here, they didn't need to worry about the situation.

The only thing that shocked Ye Shengxin's Father was that what this guy said was actually true—except for the first sentence, which was a lie.

Gu Rong was left speechless by Chen Xin's words, yet he had no choice but to speak from the standpoint of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, as he was a member of an academy subordinate to them.

"Hmph, enough talk, Gu Rong, let's fight!"

"Let me see what the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has actually taught you!!"

Chen Xin said no more, thrusting his long sword forward with the tip aimed straight at Gu Rong's throat.

Gu Rong was startled, his Bone Dragon martial soul manifesting behind him instantly, its dragon claws clamping down on Chen Xin's soft sword.

Chen Xin remained calm, twisting his blade to strike again. After so much training, he had become adept with the soft sword; even without using his martial soul, he could trade blows with Gu Rong evenly.

Gu Rong only had 34 levels of spirit power at the moment, so Chen Xin was confident he could hold his own even without using his own martial soul.

The onslaught of the soft sword was fierce, every strike aimed at a vital point, leaving Gu Rong unable to react and forced into a defensive stance.

Fortunately, Gu Rong's martial soul possessed immense defensive power, and attacks not backed by a martial soul dealt him little damage.

"Hmph, is defense all the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect taught you?"

Gu Rong roared, "First Spirit Skill: Dragon Bone Armor!"

"Second Spirit Skill: Ten Thousand Bone Spear!"

Shields and sharp bone spikes came whistling toward him.

Chen Xin remained utterly calm, side-stepping and weaving left and right, dodging the Ten Thousand Bone Spear with ease while his soft sword slashed repeatedly against Gu Rong's body.

Without the augmentation of spirit power and spirit skills, it was still difficult to break through Gu Rong's defense with the soft sword alone.

The two figures intertwined constantly, one forced into passive defense while the other launched a ferocious assault.

Ye Shengxin's Father sighed, "As expected of the child of the Seven Kill crown, his combat experience is truly rich."

Xu Xiao chuckled. Was this his father's doing? Wasn't it just because he had forced the boy to do it himself?

Below, Chen Xin seemed to lose interest in continuing the fight.

"It's been so long, Gu Rong, you've become weak."

Gu Rong retorted, "Hmph, stop spouting nonsense, Chen Xin. You haven't even been able to break my martial soul, have you?"

As the words fell, a long sword appeared behind Chen Xin. He didn't even need to wield it; the mere sword intent radiating from it instantly shattered Gu Rong's prideful defense.

"How about now?"

"My martial soul has only just appeared, yet your defense is already so fragile. How laughable!!"
