Douluo: Blade Template, Death Omen Approaching

Chapter 78 Inheriting the Mirror Style Sword Technique! (Together)

A few days later, time flew by.

At this point, there is still some time before Tang San registers for Shrek Academy.

This was also because Blade wanted to find Frank in advance and make arrangements in advance, waiting for Gangzi and the little rascal to jump over on their own.

He was personally tormenting Tang San behind the scenes.

Now, I realize it's still a bit early; I now have a few days of free time.

However, Blade is no longer entirely alone.

Lan Yinhuang and Zhu Zhuqing were by her side.

After all, once the mission to join forces with the Star Luo Empire begins, Zhu Zhuqing will need to step forward and seize the imperial power.

Today, having nothing to do, he checked out a batch of tasks and found that the system had already provided him with the necessary items for this companion task.

It is an item that allows Zhu Zhuqing to directly use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Netherworld White Tiger.

When it was applied to Zhu Zhuqing, it moved and shocked the young girl to a standstill.

As for this prop, Ren felt it was just icing on the cake; it was merely an embellishment.

In this world, while strength certainly plays a significant role in the ascension to the throne, sometimes superstitious symbols, what people call "divine mandate," are also necessary.

The appearance of this prop will undoubtedly add a touch of mystery to their seizure of imperial power, making their actions more legitimate, and making those who are watching even more convinced that Zhu Zhuqing's extraordinary talent makes her the chosen one of the dragon.

After all, both the Dai and Zhu families require two people to use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but Zhu Zhuqing can use it alone. If she doesn't take the throne, who will?

Moreover, once the power of abundance is mastered, there's no need for any so-called spirit fusion skill or spirit power; the strength granted by abundance is already enough to easily overwhelm anything.

Her ability to unleash a Martial Soul Fusion Technique on her own left those noble natives who didn't understand the power of abundance speechless!

Tell them in a way they can understand! Zhu Zhuqing is the chosen one! A genius unlike any other in your Star Luo Empire!

The true empress!

now,

A thatched cottage stands quietly in a peaceful field not far from Soto.

The house has a simple exterior, but the interior is warm and clean.

Ren, along with Lan Yinhuang and Zhu Zhuqing, chose to stay here temporarily and enjoy a few days of peace.

A stream flows gently past the entrance of the thatched cottage, with a few light fallen leaves floating on the surface, and occasionally a few birds hopping and foraging by the stream.

As for why this remote little place was chosen...

Now, there's no need to say more about Ren himself. In the city, his appearance will undoubtedly attract countless eyes. Almost everyone will take a second look. Those native residents who have never seen the world will all turn their heads when they see such an extraordinary, aloof and handsome man!

It has to be said that they were all like country bumpkins who had never seen the handsome men of Huanyu Yanxuan before.

After all, even though Qian Renxue, who was of extremely high status, was only meeting him for the first time, she had seen Ren's rough sketch, even though she was mostly thinking about how to recruit Ren Xin.

However, she was shocked for a long time when she first met Blade because of his real appearance, and after they parted, she was also in a daze for a long time!

As for Lan Yinhuang and Zhu Zhuqing, they were already extremely beautiful. Nourished by the abundant power, these two beauties became even more charming.

Their figures are more graceful, their curves are fuller where they should be, and their delicate features are more graceful, radiating a sense of health and vitality.

Such an atmosphere is undoubtedly irresistible to those from Soto City who have never seen the world.

Therefore, Ren chose this small place, precisely for this rare tranquility.

He didn't want to be chased by those curious eyes anymore, nor did he want his colleagues to feel uncomfortable due to excessive attention.

Here, they can put aside some concerns, quietly recuperate, and wait for the next opportunity to act.

Inside the thatched hut, the simple furnishings created a warm and comfortable atmosphere. Ren, Lan Yinhuang, and Zhu Zhuqing enjoyed a moment of peace in this tranquil space, as if they were isolated from the world.

And at this moment,

Sunlight filtered through the treetops, dappling the courtyard of the little thatched cottage.

In the courtyard, the grass was lush and green, and a few wildflowers swayed gently in the breeze, with a faint scent of earth in the air.

The people in the courtyard present a different kind of scenery.

At this moment, Ren held the Zhili sword in one hand, his gaze fixed on Zhu Zhuqing opposite him.

Ren stood expressionless in the center of the courtyard, his figure appearing exceptionally tall and straight in the sunlight.

"Since you've chosen to practice swordsmanship..."

"Then be prepared to endure countless sword wounds."

Soon, Ren's calm and indifferent voice rang out, seemingly piercing through the heart. As always, it was devoid of emotion, conveying an unquestionable authority.

"I"

He paused, his gaze sharp.

That's how I learned it.

"you"

"Naturally, there will be no exception."

This statement is both a warning and an expectation.

Zhu Zhuqing stood opposite Ren, tightly gripping the wooden sword that Ren had forged for her.

Having entered the realm of Abundant Power, she had long since transcended the traditional divisions of soul power systems such as agility and offensive power. She understood that a true peerless powerhouse has no weaknesses.

Once the right direction is found and the power is mastered, the boundaries of those systems cease to exist.

As Blade's apprentice, Zhu Zhuqing's understanding of Blade deepened under the guidance of Blue Silver Emperor.

Knowing her master's fondness for swords, she chose to learn swordsmanship without hesitation.

The scene of her master saving her was deeply imprinted in her heart—those dozens of sword energies, like blood-red moons, shocked her soul and strengthened her belief.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were filled with unwavering determination. She was determined to replicate her master's sword strike, that soul-stirring sword energy that had moved her deeply, and she wanted to transform it into her own power.

She kept Ren's teachings in mind, and every time she swung her sword, it was an expression of her respect for her master and her unwavering pursuit of swordsmanship.

In this tranquil courtyard, the swordplay of the master and apprentice will become the most beautiful sight in this world.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were filled with a firm and unyielding light, and her heart was brimming with confidence and determination.

"Master, don't worry, I have confidence in myself!"

Her voice was clear and firm, capable of penetrating the heart.

"You don't need to take care of me. Besides, Sister Lan Yin has been preparing for the treatment, and I have absolute confidence in the abundant power my master bestowed upon me!"

She naturally had deep trust in her master, Blade, and was proud of her own power.

"Master's kitten now has countless lives! It's indestructible!"

Zhu Zhuqing's smile held a hint of playfulness, but her voice was incredibly serious; she was ready to face any challenge.

Upon hearing this, Ren's lips curled up slightly, a mere two pixels, yet enough to reveal a slight unease within him.

He exhaled softly, his gaze still coldly fixed on Zhu Zhuqing.

"Um"

His response was simple and powerful.

"Get ready."

Soon, Blade's deep voice, filled with undeniable authority, added:

"Pain will teach you the true meaning of the blade."

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint crimson light flashed in Ren's eyes. The light was like an undercurrent in a deep pool, and it instantly returned to calm.

He raised the fragmented sword in his hand, its blade gleaming coldly in the sunlight, signaling Zhu Zhuqing to attack with the sword.

Zhu Zhuqing's face tightened, her eyes sharpened, and all her muscles tensed as she assumed a fighting stance. She took a deep breath, then launched herself forward, her figure flashing like lightning as she hurtled towards the blade!

Her movements were swift and powerful, the tip of her sword pointing straight at the blade, as if she wanted to convey her determination and courage to her master through this sword strike.

With her natural agility, she drew rapid trajectories in the air with her wooden sword. As a beginner, Zhu Zhuqing's first time using a sword was surprisingly skillful, which was quite impressive.

Her movements were fluid and powerful, each swing of the sword appearing so natural and precise, as if she and the sword had become one.

However, in front of a master like Ren, Zhu Zhuqing's speed, though fast, still appeared slow.

The sword in Ren's hand seemed to have a life of its own; with just a few simple yet incredibly precise movements—a flick, a slash, and a strike—it instantly dismantled Zhu Zhuqing's attack.

His swordsmanship is concise and efficient, without any superfluous movements, and every strike hits the vital points.

After countless exchanges, Zhu Zhuqing, under Ren's relentless tutelage, ended up with several bruises and welts all over her body.

She was panting heavily, and the wound on her arm made her hug her arm and frown. The pain made her face look slightly pale.

Ren looked at Zhu Zhuqing, his face indifferent, his tone even colder:

"They only pursue speed, but lack strength."

His voice was devoid of warmth, as if he were criticizing something that had nothing to do with him.

"Forget the effects of your soul power."

His words revealed his strict demands on Zhu Zhuqing.

"Truly experience the abundance of your destiny."

"Your initial learning stage"

He paused, his gaze growing even deeper.

"You can't do two things at once."

Blade's evaluation struck Zhu Zhuqing like a heavy hammer, making her realize her current shortcomings.

Under Blade's guidance, she learned that only by focusing on the sword could she truly grasp the essence of swordsmanship.

Moreover, at this moment, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but recall some things that Sister Lan Yin had told her. Her master had gone through countless life-and-death trials before she had mastered such swordsmanship.

She gently bit her lip, a resolute glint in her eyes. Compared to her master's past sacrifices, her own pain was insignificant.

Her eyes were filled with seriousness and determination as she nodded repeatedly, as resolutely as if she were pounding garlic.

"I will follow Master's teachings! Let's try again!" Zhu Zhuqing's voice was firm and powerful. She had stood up from the pain and was ready to throw herself into training again.

Having experienced the pain in her body, Zhu Zhuqing began to truly feel the flow of abundant power.

She understood her master's words. She was just a beginner. Her master could switch between the two powers at will, but she could not, even though she already had the ability to activate the Martial Soul Fusion Skill at any time!

However, the power of Abundant Destiny is far greater than that of Soul Power, so she must put aside all the distractions of her past Soul Power cultivation and devote herself wholeheartedly to the cultivation of Abundant Destiny.

The practice continued for a long time in the small courtyard, with sunlight filtering through the treetops, creating dappled shadows.

Zhu Zhuqing's figure moved back and forth in the courtyard. Every swing of her sword and every dodge she made seemed more skillful and powerful.

She fought with increasing ferocity, and although the number of wounds on her body continued to increase, her recovery speed seemed to be accelerating.

Every collision, every pain, made Zhu Zhuqing more deeply appreciate the power of a bountiful destiny.

Her eyes were filled with an indomitable light; every failure made her more determined, and every time she got back up, she became stronger.

This small courtyard became her battlefield for honing her will and swordsmanship, and she was gradually growing into a true swordsman.

After an unknown amount of time, the sun had already begun to set in the west, and sunlight filtered through the treetops, casting dappled shadows on the ground of the courtyard.

Zhu Zhuqing's breathing was a little erratic, but she still persevered!

"hehe."

Blade's voice suddenly broke the silence of the courtyard; it carried a faint hint of amusement.

"Finally, I've got the basics down."

"But that's not enough."

He turned around, his gaze falling on Zhu Zhuqing, whose body was covered in a mixture of sweat and blood. He nodded, indicating a degree of approval.

Then, Ren quickly put away the fragmented sword in his hand and took out a wooden sword from the side that looked ordinary but contained an extraordinary aura.

The former sword master of Luofu, Jingliu, who taught him swordsmanship, was never stingy with her knowledge of swordsmanship. As long as someone wanted to learn, she would teach them. Whether they could learn it or not depended entirely on the learner's own comprehension.

Ren naturally inherited this spirit, and he was equally generous and selfless in his approach to swordsmanship.

"Your current strength."

Ren said calmly, his gaze solemn and profound.

"I use a wooden sword."

"Only one sword strike."

His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority.

As Ren finished speaking, the entire courtyard seemed to fall into an unusual silence.

His gaze was indifferent, and he slightly raised the wooden sword in his hand, the tip of the sword pointing at Zhu Zhuqing. His posture seemed to have become one with the sword, ready to display the legendary Moon Wheel Sword Qi.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and all attention was focused on the blade. The sword strike that was about to be unleashed would determine whether Zhu Zhuqing could glimpse a higher realm of swordsmanship.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's face was filled with exhaustion, but when she heard that her master was going to teach her the swordsmanship she had always dreamed of, her eyes instantly lit up with excitement, and her spirit seemed to be restored a hundredfold in an instant!

"Master, Zhuqing will study hard!!"

Her voice was filled with determination and longing; despite her physical injuries, her spirit was exceptionally high.

Because of the existence of abundant power, her recovery ability far exceeds that of ordinary people. Those seemingly serious wounds are nothing more than marks that are about to heal in the face of her tenacious vitality.

She mimicked the stance of a blade, preparing for battle. The pain in her body seemed like a gentle breeze, easily passing by and disappearing without a trace.

She has already begun to inherit Blade's fighting style of becoming stronger with each setback and each battle.

Nevertheless, she knew in her heart that the gap between herself and her master was still quite large.

Right now, she might be able to easily take on some Soul King level opponents, but she definitely needs a period of training and growth to face a powerful figure like a Title Douluo alone.

"They're here."

The corners of Ren's mouth turned up slightly, by an amount of only two pixels, but this subtle change was enough to reveal his mood at that moment.

He uttered two words softly, and then, with a gentle flick of his wooden sword, a pale blood-red moon-shaped sword aura instantly condensed and slashed fiercely towards Zhu Zhuqing!

The sword energy, like a sharp blade cutting through space and time, carried a terrifying power as it headed straight for Zhu Zhuqing.

A hint of nervousness flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, but she did not back down. She knew that this was a test from her master, and also an essential step for her to reach a higher level.

She took a deep breath, facing the crimson moon-shaped sword aura, preparing to receive the attack in her own way.
