……

At this moment, four boys with still youthful faces climbed the stairs to the second floor and walked gracefully toward the four people.

Leading the way was Chen Zhouzhao, who was about to turn twelve.

He was quite burly, nearly 1.7 meters tall, with bronze skin, and looked like a bronze tower.

Following closely behind was Chen Jieqi, who had a handsome face and was about 1.6 meters tall.

Behind them were two even younger boys.

The four teenagers approached and bowed to Zhuang Mochen and Wang Wei in unison, their voices clear and uniform: "Chen Zhouzhao (Chen Jieqi, Chen Yunxiang, and Chen Haoxuan), juniors of the Chen family, greet the two seniors."

After the ceremony, they turned to Xia Yun and respectfully said, "Greetings, Grandpa Xia Yun."

Then, their eyes gleamed with excitement as they looked at Chen Xiaojun and called out in unison, "Sixth Brother!"

Chen Xiaojun nodded slightly and greeted Chen Zhouzhao and Chen Jieqi first: "Ninth Brother, Tenth Brother, long time no see... You'll be the ones taking the test later."

Chen Zhou smacked his lips and said casually, "The two of them go first, and Jieqi and I will bring up the rear."

Chen Xiaojun looked them over and said with a smile, "Look at your energy, you're in a good mood."

Chen Zhouzhao laughed heartily, patting his chest and saying, "Haha, Sixth Brother, you know me well. I've always been carefree and unreliable. It's mainly Jieqi. His great-grandfather came. He hasn't seen him for many years, and he's so happy he's practically shaving his skin."

Chen Jieqi coldly uttered two words: "Get lost."

Chen Xiaojun chuckled, then turned his gaze to the other two children and greeted them, "Twelfth...thirteenth brother."

Chen Haoxuan, who looked more youthful, was actually more robust. Judging from his appearance, he should be following the same strength-based cultivation path as Chen Jianjun and Chen Zhouzhao.

He pursed his lips and muttered, "With the sudden appearance of an eleventh sister, the ranking has dropped another place."

The slightly older Chen Yunxiang's face darkened, and he immediately shouted, "Haoxuan, stop talking nonsense."

Chen Haoxuan reluctantly shut his mouth.

Chen Yunxiang is the son of Chen Qingrui, the eighth uncle of Chen Xiaojun. From his demeanor, one can see that he, like his father, has a refined and elegant style.

Chen Haoxuan is the son of Seventh Master Chen Yinzu. Their lineage of light is descended from Chen Xili, and they all inherit power-based cultivation methods.

Chen Xiaojun looked at Chen Haoxuan with a half-smile and asked, "What, you're still not happy?"

Chen Haoxuan quickly waved his hand and denied it repeatedly.

Chen Yunxiang explained from the side, "Sixth Brother, he was beaten up by Eleventh Sister, and he's not convinced."

Chen Xiaojun raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised: "Didn't Duling just start learning swordsmanship?"

Chen Yunxiang nodded and said, "That's right. Although Eleventh Sister is a beginner in swordsmanship, she already had a foundation and picked it up very quickly, so Haoxuan is not convinced."

Chen Xiaojun laughed and thought to himself that Turin's control-based fighting style did have an advantage against Haoxuan's strength-based style. In addition, Turin was more than two years older, so it was no wonder that Haoxuan was not convinced.

After a few more words, the group left to prepare for the upcoming test.

……

Chen Yunxiang and Chen Haoxuan were the first to appear, standing on the central arena.

At this moment, two figures rushed out of the door. They had identical faces, wore coarse cloth village girl clothes, had double buns, bangs, expressionless faces, a mole under each eye, and bright red lips, perfectly embodying the aesthetics of village girls—Ru Hua!

The only difference between them is that they are marked with "1" and "2" on their chests and backs.

They rushed over without saying a word.

Chen Haoxuan summoned the Seven Kill Sword and charged straight at the arena. The sword light was icy cold, and the blade tore through the air with a sharp whistling sound.

The boy's eyes flashed with a golden light, and his sword moved with him, transforming into a streak of light. Simple, direct, and decisive—his masterful swordsmanship!

Number 1, Ruhua, suddenly extended three-foot-long iron chain snake darts from her arms, but sparks flew the moment they touched the sword energy—the Seven Kill Sword Qi had already solidified into a tangible substance.

As a newly appointed Great Soul Master at level 21, he was actually able to unleash sword energy, truly showing that the children of the Chen family are getting stronger and stronger.

The level 28 Chen Yunxiang next to him was different; a yellow spirit ring rose up, "Second spirit skill - Seven Kill Clone!"

Suddenly, two Seven Kill Swords appeared in his left and right hands.

Chen Yunxiang wielded the Cloud Sword Technique in his left hand and the Water Sword Technique in his right. The two swords crossed and flashed through the air, the two Seven Kill Swords weaving a net of heaven and earth.

Since Chen Xiaojun adopted the dual-sword style, many people have followed this path.

Therefore, Chen Yunxiang abandoned water-based skills and chose to use his Martial Soul Clone.

Spiderweb patterns appeared on the bluestone slabs of the arena amidst the crisscrossing sword energy. Half of the hair bun of No. 2 Ruhua was cut off, and the exposed metal skull gleamed with a cold, eerie blue light.

"A cast iron spine?" Chen Yunxiang's pupils contracted slightly.

When the sword in his left hand struck Ruhua's waist, it produced a metallic clang, revealing a dense array of mechanical gears beneath the tattered coarse cloth.

Suddenly, the double buns exploded, and dozens of fine needles accompanied by pink poisonous mist shot out.

Chen Yunxiang's sword momentum suddenly shifted, and the Seven Kill Sword Shadows formed a light curtain of nine layers of sword flowers.

The poison needle struck the sword screen and turned into specks of phosphorescent fire. Then, Number 2, Ruhua, seized the opportunity to rush forward three meters. Suddenly, her fiery red lips split open—a three-foot spiral drill bit emerged from her throat!
Several gasps of surprise rang out from the spectator stands beside the ring.

The dual-sword style has a large defensive area. Chen Yunxiang used a gentle and tender move with his right hand to knock away the spiral head.

"Cut off its chest!" Chen Haoxuan suddenly roared.

Because of martial arts techniques such as Nine Yin and Nine Yang, the Chen family gradually began to use the terms Dantian, Tanzhong, Niwan, and the three soul nests (lower, middle, and upper).

With her second soul skill, "Steel Sword," the Seven Kill Sword instantly expanded by 30%, transforming into a giant sword that aimed directly at Number 1, Ru Hua.

Just as Chen Yunxiang parried the cluster of fine needles, before he could even catch his breath, sword light surged like a raging torrent from Chen Haoxuan's side.

His Seven Kill Sword has no fancy sword techniques; the essence of his Horizontal and Vertical Sword Technique is "cutting"!

With a sudden flash of cold light and a sharp "sizzle," Number 1, Ruhua, who was charging forward first, was cleaved in two from her left shoulder to her right ribs.

Metal gears, broken springs, and a dark blue, unidentified liquid splattered everywhere.

Surprisingly, the body, split in two, did not completely stop.

With a sudden push of his remaining right arm, he propelled his upper body forward like a lizard, his finger bones snapping open to reveal a dark, miniature crossbow barrel, which shot straight at Chen Yunxiang's face.

His lower body and legs continued their momentum, bending their joints and pushing off the ground. A row of sharp claw blades popped out from the tips of his boots with a "click," aiming straight for Chen Haoxuan's ankle.

"careful!"

The two brothers retreated simultaneously.

With a clang, Chen Yunxiang deflected the crossbow bolt with his sword, a slight chill running down his spine.

These puppets are strangely constructed, not human-like, and can be injured but not killed!
Chen Haoxuan was even faster. The moment he cleaved through the armor, his feet didn't stop. His sword turned with his body, and the incomparably sharp sword light transformed into a flowing arc of light, accurately slashing at the neck of Number 2 Ruhua who was attacking from behind!

The Seven Kill Sword was incredibly sharp, and Number 2's head flew off in response!

However, the headless body's movements suddenly froze. Instead of falling, it used the high-pressure steam (which seemed to be some kind of propellant?) spewing out from its severed neck to surge forward. Its arms opened wide, and two sharp, dark scythes emerged from its forearms, slashing wildly with a piercing sound of their mechanisms whirring!

It's a completely self-destructive, mutually destructive tactic!
"Brother Xiang, entangle it!" Chen Haoxuan shouted, his sword light receding but becoming even more deadly and agile, targeting the joint gaps of Number 2 in an attempt to disable its mobility.

On the other side, Chen Yunxiang had just dealt with the remaining threat of No. 1 (he directly stepped forward and precisely pierced the core mechanism of the shoulder, elbow and hip of the upper body of the armor with two swords) when he heard a few "whoosh" sounds as the air was cut through!
