Within the Pope's Palace in Spirit City.
Ling Feng had just placed several gravity seals on the Juque Sword, forcibly reducing its weight to ten jin.
Just as he was about to hand the Juque Sword to Qian Renxue again, the Dao Protector System suddenly issued a notification.
Hearing the Dao Protector System's prompt, Ling Feng's hand suddenly froze.
His brows rose slightly.
Tang San, that little bastard, had been born?!
Then, his faintly furrowed brows relaxed at once, and a trace of killing intent flashed deep within his eyes.
To prevent Tang San from threatening Qian Renxue, whom he was meant to protect, the best way was to solve the problem once and for all at its root.
He would eliminate Tang San before he had the chance to grow.
If his memories were correct, Sacred Soul Village was located south of Nuoding City, Fasnuo Province, Heaven Dou Empire.
"Take it!"
Ling Feng composed himself and handed the sword to Qian Renxue.
When he saw Qian Renxue standing there blankly without taking it, he urged her in a slightly impatient tone.
Qian Renxue froze.
She stared blankly at the Juque Sword Ling Feng was handing her.
She was completely at a loss.
The Juque Sword was so heavy that she could not lift it at all.
If she took it from Ling Feng like this, its terrifying weight of twenty thousand jin would surely crush her hand.
Qian Renxue was terrified.
Hesitantly, she reached out, her fingers cautiously touching the Juque Sword in Ling Feng's hand.
Under Ling Feng's unquestionable gaze, Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, curled her fingers around the hilt, and took the Juque Sword from his hand.
"Eh~!"
The Juque Sword did not have the terrifying weight she had imagined. She took it from Ling Feng's hand with ease.
In an instant, Qian Renxue could not help letting out a startled cry.
Her cherry lips formed a tiny "O."
It was simply unbelievable.
Where had those twenty thousand jin gone?
Had she somehow become a superhumanly strong woman?
She had lifted a Juque Sword weighing twenty thousand jin just like that.
Qian Renxue gently tested it. The Juque Sword weighed no more than ten jin in her hand.
She switched the Juque Sword from her right hand to her left, and it still weighed the same.
Ten jin. The Juque Sword weighed only ten jin.
So she had not become some super-strong woman.
It was simply that the Juque Sword itself had become lighter.
Ling Feng had said that the Juque Sword's weight changed along with Soul Power.
Now that it weighed only ten jin, had her Soul Power become negative?
Thinking that not only had her Soul Power vanished, but had even become negative, Qian Renxue instantly panicked.
She hurriedly checked her Soul Power.
Luckily, her Soul Power was still level 39!
Seeing that her Soul Power had not changed and had not become negative, Qian Renxue let out a long sigh of relief.
"Phew~!"
Watching Qian Renxue's adorably dazed expression as she alternated between nervousness and relief, Ling Feng found it inexplicably amusing.
He placed his large hand on her little head, rubbed it around, and thoroughly mussed up her hair.
Her hair was smooth and delicate, with just the right feel.
That softness was like cotton.
"Considering that the Juque Sword is too heavy for you to wield, I specially tailored it for you. I placed several layers of gravity seals within it, temporarily controlling its weight at ten jin."
"Once you get used to its ten-jin weight, it will slowly increase to fifteen jin."
"Once you adapt to fifteen jin and can swing it, its weight will increase to twenty jin, thirty jin, forty jin, one hundred jin, two hundred jin...!"
"This will continue until you can fully control it and make it a weapon that feels natural in your hand."
After saying that, Ling Feng saw realization flash through Qian Renxue's eyes.
He then took out a Basic Sword Manual and handed it to her.
"This sword manual is an exclusive manual I tailored specifically for the Juque Sword.
"Every move and every stance within contains boundless profound mysteries.
"At the same time, it includes some of my insights into the way of the sword."
At the side, Qian Daoliu, Ju Douluo, and Gui Douluo's eyes suddenly lit up when they saw Ling Feng take out an ancient, weathered sword manual.
Good stuff!
The thought flashed through all three of their minds at the same time.
Ling Feng's identity as a Peerless Sword Immortal was right there. The sword manual he had taken out was definitely a treasure.
If it were placed on the continent, it would surely stir up a storm and trigger a mad scramble among its people.
Even at their level, they were exceedingly envious of the sword manual Ling Feng had produced.
Learning had no end, and neither did cultivation. If they could learn Ling Feng's swordsmanship, it would be an enormous improvement for them as well.
Filled with curiosity, Qian Renxue took the sword manual from Ling Feng's hand.
She opened it and looked.
Qian Renxue: "???"
When she saw the contents and illustrations in the sword manual, Qian Renxue was utterly stunned for two full seconds.
She looked as though she could not believe it.
She flipped to the next page, but it was still the same damn thing.
Unwilling to give up, Qian Renxue flipped to the third page, the fourth page, the fifth page... all the way to the last page.
Every page of the sword manual was the same damn thing.
Qian Renxue closed the sword manual, not quite daring to say anything.
She rubbed her eyes, thinking she had blurred vision or was hallucinating, then opened the sword manual again.
The contents inside remained exactly the same.
After going through it twice, Qian Renxue confirmed that the sword manual Ling Feng had given her was fucking Basic Sword Manual.
Just like the Juque Sword earlier, it had made her look forward to it for nothing!
What a waste of her feelings.
Qian Renxue unhappily puffed out her little lips.
At the side, Qian Daoliu saw his little granddaughter wearing such an expression.
He could not help feeling curious and confused.
Why did she look unhappy after receiving a sword manual bestowed by a Peerless Sword Immortal?
With some doubt in his heart, Qian Daoliu stepped forward to ask what was going on.
"Xiao Xue, what's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy?"
As he spoke, Qian Daoliu's gaze fell upon the sword manual in Qian Renxue's hand.
"Could it be that the sword manual is too difficult and profound for you to understand?"
"Xiao Xue, Ling Feng is the only Peerless Sword Immortal on the continent.
"His swordsmanship is the greatest in all of Douluo Continent. Since ancient times, no one has been able to compare to him.
"Even Chen Xin, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's elder renowned for his swordsmanship, is no match for him.
"It is perfectly normal that his sword manual is so profound and difficult to understand that you cannot comprehend it. Don't be discouraged."
"Besides, you do not have much talent in the way of the sword to begin with.
"If there is anything in the sword manual you truly do not understand, just take it and ask him directly."
While comforting Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu took that Peerless Sword Manual from her hand.
Filled with curiosity, Qian Daoliu eagerly opened the Peerless Sword Manual.
His eyes fixed tightly on its pages.
The moment the sword manual opened, its contents entered Qian Daoliu's sight.
The shock he had imagined did not appear.
Qian Daoliu's brows furrowed at a visible speed.
He felt the same confusion Qian Renxue had felt when she first saw the sword manual.
Qian Daoliu flipped to the next page, then the page after that, all the way to the final page.
"This... this is just an ordinary Basic Sword Manual!"
After reading from the first page to the last, Qian Daoliu confirmed that this was a manual containing only basic Sword Styles.
For a moment, his face was filled with disbelief.
His confused gaze turned toward Ling Feng, who stood calmly at the side.
