Mom, It Looks Like the Supreme Douluo Has Taken a Fancy to You

Original timeline—

Chen Xin likewise entered a state of enlightenment.

Ning Fengzhi had already lain down and played dead.

The audience, meanwhile, eagerly gossiped.

"What did the Supreme Douluo mean by that? Was he saying the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had held him back? Because he had to put the sect first in everything, his sword heart wasn't pure enough?"

"Damn, with just a few words from the Supreme Douluo, Sword Douluo isn't going to leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, is he? That'd be quite the show!"

"That's absurd. Chen Xin is a towering figure in the way of the sword. I originally thought that if they were judged purely on swordsmanship, without considering cultivation, Chen Xin should have been superior!"

Chen Xin had no intention of leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

He had merely come to understand that a sect was a place to settle, not shackles binding his sword heart.

Ning Fengzhi waited anxiously for ages, but when Sword Douluo never mentioned leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the heart suspended in his chest finally settled. He looked resentfully at Lu Xuan, as though he were looking at a heartless scoundrel who had used him and discarded him.

"Ding! Registered disciple Chen Xin's sword heart has improved!"

"Rewarding the host with the movement technique Golden Goose Skill (fantasy version)."

Golden Goose Skill Note: Step on your left foot with your right foot, spiral into the sky, and enjoy extraordinary endurance.

Lu Xuan's vision went dark.

He could already fly on a sword, and it was still making him step on one foot with the other.

If it had at least given him a copy of Lingbo Steps, he wouldn't have complained!

He could only pass it on to his disciples.

Lu Xuan explained his purpose:

"I came here this time because I have a matter I'd like to entrust to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I'm looking for a female soul master named Ah Yin. Her martial soul is Blue Silver Grass. I hope Sect Master Ning will keep an eye out for her."

Without even asking about the reward, Ning Fengzhi agreed immediately.

"Very well. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will certainly do everything in its power to fulfill the Supreme Douluo's request!"

Lu Xuan pondered for a moment.

Then he suddenly looked toward a nearby wall and said:

"I won't have you help me for nothing, either. I have a sword technique where no move surpasses having no move, where one strikes later yet arrives first, predicts the enemy's every move, and breaks every weapon and hidden weapon under heaven."

"Unfortunately, there are very few soul masters who truly know how to wield a sword. No matter how good the technique is, it may still be left to gather dust. So today, I shall leave behind a legacy within your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for future generations."

Ning Fengzhi's face lit up as he respectfully said:

"I ask the Supreme Douluo to impart the technique!"

This reward was simply perfect!

In the future, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wanted to recruit soul masters with sword martial souls, this sword technique would be their greatest draw. There would probably be countless people willing to come even without pay.

Lu Xuan did not use the Godslayer Sword. He picked up a tree branch and walked before a snow-white wall. His figure drifted with effortless grace, and as he leaped and moved about, the complete sword formula of the Nine Swords of Dugu was carved upon it.

Chen Xin watched in utter fascination.

On the original timeline, the audience beneath the Sky Screen also scrambled into action.

"Holy shit! The Supreme Douluo is teaching a sword technique! Write it down, quick!"

"It can counter every weapon and hidden weapon? This is incredible!"

"Damn hands, copy it already!"

Shrek Academy.

Tang San went numb.

The sword technique Lu Xuan had carved onto the wall was far too familiar. Every single stance seemed tailor-made to counter the hidden weapons of his Tang Sect.

And now, with the Sky Screen exposing it all—

This sword technique had completely become common knowledge.

If everyone could learn ways to guard against hidden weapons in the future, how was he supposed to catch people off guard? How was he supposed to have any fun?

Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang was hiding in a farmhouse.

He looked at the Sky Screen with utter disdain.

"All of this is nothing but crooked tricks! What matters most to a soul master is still soul rings and the proper use of one's martial soul, not wasting effort studying this messy nonsense."

Since Xiaogang could not understand sword techniques at all, Lu Xuan's Nine Swords of Dugu looked little different from meaningless scribbles in his eyes, which only fed his inexplicable confidence.

"If you ask me, this sword technique isn't nearly as practical as Little San's hidden weapons..."

Yu Xiaogang was muttering to himself.

Suddenly, there was a thunderous boom.

The wall exploded open with a massive hole.

Yu Xiaogang trembled as he looked over, nearly scared to death!

Liu Erlong stood there with her arms crossed, staring at him coldly!

"Flender, you sold me out!"

Yu Xiaogang cried out in grief and indignation.

Liu Erlong roughly dragged him outside and threw him to the ground, saying icily:

"Yu Xiaogang, I waited for you for twenty years. Back then, I was cursed by my sect and by outsiders alike, but only now do I find out you were playing me."

"Tell me, how should I repay you?"

Yu Xiaogang pulled a mournful face. "Erlong, everything on that Sky Screen is fake! At first, I treated you as a younger sister. Later, feelings developed between us, but I was afraid rejecting you would hurt you, so I presupposed our relationship."

"Erlong, but you and I have always been completely innocent. I've never done anything to wrong you!"

What had Xiaogang done wrong?

He had merely enjoyed the ambiguous atmosphere.

He only flirted; he never touched!

Liu Erlong was so furious her chest felt ready to explode.

"How very innocent!"

"How very never wronged me!"

In her rage, she kicked Yu Xiaogang without even looking, followed immediately by his pig-slaughtering scream.

Sky Screen timeline—

Since they had rarely come to Heaven Dou City, the most prosperous capital on the continent, it was well worth taking a stroll around.

Lu Xuan walked ahead, holding a wine gourd and savoring Heaven Dou City's latest vintage.

Bibi Dong followed behind him like a little attendant, matching his every step. Her eyes curiously surveyed the surroundings as though she had never seen the world before.

Suddenly—

Lu Xuan stopped.

Bibi Dong kept walking with her head lowered and ran straight into his back.

"Ow!"

Lu Xuan pointed at a clinic ahead and said:

"Come on. Let's go take a look."

The front of the clinic was packed with people, but the patients were almost instantly healed, and it soon became the next person's turn. The efficiency was astonishingly high.

The healer was a woman with her face veiled in white gauze. Her appearance could not be seen, but her elegant bearing marked her as a refined lady. A begonia flower floated above her palm.

"A Nine-Hearted Begonia martial soul?"

Lu Xuan was somewhat curious.

The Nine-Hearted Begonia was hailed as the continent's number one healing martial soul. It was exceptionally unusual, chiefly in two ways:

First, no matter what soul rings it absorbed, it only possessed one healing soul skill, and the healing effects could stack.

Second, two Nine-Hearted Begonia soul masters could never exist at the same time. It was a martial soul envied by heaven.

By all rights, someone with such a martial soul should possess absurdly high talent.

However, Nine-Hearted Begonia soul masters seemed to have little presence in the original story. Lu Xuan did not know whether they were simply too low-profile or something else.

Outside the Sky Screen, the audience was baffled.

"What is the Supreme Douluo looking at?"

"That's a Nine-Hearted Begonia martial soul, a legendary martial soul. Anyone would be curious the first time they saw it, right?"

"A descendant of the Nine-Hearted Begonia? Then wouldn't that woman in the white veil be Ye Qingshui, the current head of the Nine-Hearted Begonia Clan?"

"Clan Head Ye is extremely low-profile. She rarely leaves her residence, and ordinarily, people have no chance to see her at all. I wonder if she was already like this when she was young?"

Heaven Dou City. Ye Family.

Ye Lingling looked at the Sky Screen, snuggled deeper into her mother's embrace, and teased:

"Mom, look!"

"It looks like the Supreme Douluo has taken a fancy to you!"
