Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

Chapter 66 Changes in Mindset

Outside the main hall of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School, the morning mist had not yet dissipated, and the plaza paved with white marble gleamed with a cool sheen.

The bronze wind chimes hanging under the eaves remained motionless, and even the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

The attendants on duty held gilded halberds, their once straight backs now uncontrollably hunched slightly.

His fingertips turned white from the force he exerted, and the cloud patterns carved on the halberd shaft became blurred from his grip.

Further away, the Soul Masters who were meditating cross-legged on the mountain walls surrounding the sect suddenly opened their eyes.

The soul power within his body surged violently and uncontrollably, as if it were about to be torn apart by an invisible force.

Their faces were pale, and their legs were trembling slightly.

A sense of surrender, originating from the depths of her soul, overwhelmed her, making even her breathing cautious.

The unsuspecting disciple looked on in confusion, instinctively glancing towards the main hall, unconsciously preparing to make a move.

But out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the Soul Douluo elders who usually guarded the sect in the corner of the square were still resting with their eyes closed, without even lifting their eyelids.

Sect Master Ning Fengzhi did not issue any instructions and forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart.

He lowered his head again, but the trembling in his fingertips could not be calmed for a long time.

However, as they lowered their heads, these previously calm Soul Douluo elders, who had the good fortune to witness Sword Douluo Chen Xin's attack, suddenly contracted their pupils after confirming the situation repeatedly. They stared intently at the direction of the main hall, a hint of excitement flashing in their eyes.

That sharp sword aura, seemingly capable of cleaving the air, and that soul power fluctuation, like a mountain collapsing, clearly shared the same origin as the aura that Sword Douluo had displayed back then, yet it was several times stronger.

"Could it be... that Lord Sword Douluo has broken through?"

A thought arose in the minds of these core members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Of course, not everyone was caught up in the excitement.

In the shadows, several unseen eyes flickered uneasily.

Those were spies planted in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School by other forces. At this moment, they were tightly clutching the communication jade talisman hidden in their sleeves, their fingertips icy cold.

The Spirit Hall's spies could still feign composure, after all, the Spirit Hall had the Hall of Offerings to suppress the world, and the number of Title Douluos was the highest on the continent, so they were full of confidence.

But the spies from other factions were already in a state of panic, with beads of cold sweat seeping from their foreheads.

After the older generation of Title Douluos passed away and retired one after another, the two Title Douluos of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were already the strongest fighting force on the surface, apart from the Spirit Hall.

The sword energy was so sharp it almost pierced a hole in the sky; it was undoubtedly caused by a sword spirit user.

Nowadays, the most outstanding members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, besides Chen Xin, are his disciples.

But his disciple was only under 8 years old, so how could he possibly cause such a commotion?

It is obvious that the current situation was created by the Sword Douluo who is known as the "number one in offense and defense". As expected, his strength has been broken through again.

This means that the pressure exerted by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is second only to that of the Spirit Hall, a behemoth.

If it weren't for the common enemy, the Spirit Hall, standing in their way, these forces would probably have already secretly colluded and plotted how to weaken the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Even though they were burning with anxiety, wanting to find out what had happened inside the hall and confirm whether their guesses were correct, they dared not make the slightest move.

That unparalleled Seven Kill Sword, that elusive bone dragon, and Ning Fengzhi's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda that can maximize its auxiliary effects—any small action would be tantamount to courting death.

Inside the hall, Yu Chenxin's cultivation had lasted for a full day and night.

On the morning of the third day, as the first rays of sunlight shone through the carved window lattice, casting dappled shadows on the ground, the figure sitting cross-legged finally began to move slowly.

Chen Xin's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she suddenly opened her eyes.

In an instant, his long, silvery-white hair moved without wind, each strand seemingly infused with life, gleaming with a sharp luster in the morning light, and his whole being exuded an ethereal and otherworldly aura.

The leap from level 95 to level 98 is not just a level increase, but a fundamental transformation.

Its impact far surpasses that of an ordinary Soul Master advancing from Soul Douluo to Title Douluo.

The next second, terrifying sword energy suddenly erupted from his body and shot straight into the sky.

The glazed tiles on the roof trembled slightly under the impact of the sword energy, yet miraculously remained intact.

Outside, the once clear sky seemed to have been cleaved in two by an invisible giant sword, and the thick white clouds scattered and fled like frightened birds and beasts, revealing the clear blue sky below.

Above the sky, a blurry yet majestic giant sword shadow quietly appeared, hovering above the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. The terrifying aura it exuded plunged the entire school into a brief silence.

Fortunately, this aura was fleeting, like a shooting star streaking across the sky; otherwise, the disciples outside with lower cultivation levels would probably have been forced to the ground, utterly disheveled.

Inside the main hall, Ning Fengzhi stood up almost the instant the sword energy subsided.

The hand that was holding the teacup trembled slightly, and he didn't even notice that some tea had splashed onto his robe.

He gazed at Chen Xin, who had just opened his eyes, his face beaming with excitement, his voice trembling slightly: "Congratulations, Uncle Jian! Your strength has increased so much; it's truly a blessing for the sect!"

"Wait, old swordsman, what level are you right now?"

Gu Rong, who was standing to the side, could no longer contain himself. He moved quickly and came over, his cloudy eyes full of surprise and doubt.

"I'm now level 96, almost the same as you were before your breakthrough, but I can't even fathom your level. What level have you broken through to?"

As he spoke, he subconsciously released a wisp of soul power to test the waters, but it was easily repelled by the sword energy naturally emanating from Chen Xin's body.

Chen Xin's face remained as calm as ever, only a hint of undisguised surprise flashed in his eyes.

He felt the powerful soul force surging within him, the clarity of his meridians being widened and his martial soul being tempered, and slowly spoke, his voice carrying a hint of emotion that he himself was unaware of: "Level ninety-eight."

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell silent.

Ning Fengzhi slammed the teacup in his hand onto the table with a clang, and Gu Rong stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Chen Xin turned her gaze to Lin Yao beside her, her tone carrying a hint of self-deprecation and amazement: "Little Yao, you said before that this Seven Star Sword Leaf Grass could raise me to level ninety-eight. I originally thought you were just a young man boasting and exaggerating."

I never imagined I was so ignorant; there really is such a terrifyingly rare treasure that could enable a Super Douluo like me to undergo a transformation.

Not only did his soul power surge, but it also condensed to the point of being almost tangible, without any problem of a weak foundation.

Now I've not only reached level 98, but I've also progressed quite a bit further in that realm.

As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a grasping motion. A phantom image of the Seven Kill Sword, imbued with terrifying sword energy, flashed in his palm, cutting through the air with a soft "sizzling" sound.

"Master, although this immortal herb is very effective, the most crucial thing is that you are already at the critical point of breakthrough and need such an opportunity."

Lin Yao stood up with a smile, his tone humble yet confident.

"For anyone else, breaking through from level 96 to level 97 would be an incredible stroke of luck."

Moreover, judging from your current transformation, it is not impossible for you to reach the level 99 Peerless Douluo realm at the pinnacle of the continent in the future.

""

"Class of '98, they went a little further ahead—"

Gu Rong finally snapped out of his shock, clicked his tongue, feeling genuine joy for his old friend, but his tone also carried a hint of undisguised regret and resentment.

"Why do I feel that even though our soul power is only two levels apart, the actual gap is much bigger than before?"

With Feng Zhi's help, you might even be able to hold your own against that guy from the Spirit Hall. Then you'll truly have the qualifications to contend for the throne.

This feeling of being so close to catching up, only to be pulled far behind again, was somewhat disheartening even for someone with Bone Douluo's strong mentality.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xin revealed a rare smile on his face.

After his breakthrough in strength, his perception increased significantly. Coupled with Gu Rong's complete lack of vigilance, he was naturally able to clearly sense the other party's condition: "Old bones, your improvement this time is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Your body has undergone a transformation after being tempered by immortal herbs, and even your martial soul has received considerable nourishment."

In my opinion, it won't be long before you break through to level 97. At that time, with a level 97 Space Bone Dragon, you can go anywhere in the world.

0

He was genuinely happy for his old friend of many years.

Watching the changes in the two Title Douluos, Lin Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the uncertainty that had been hanging in his heart finally dissipated.

Since joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and getting to know Ning Rongrong and others, spending every day with them, he has long regarded this place as his home.

Naturally, they didn't want to see the sect's destruction as depicted in the original story, and they were even less willing to lose everything they had now.

The Spirit Hall's strength is unfathomable, possessing the inheritance of two deities. Even if both of them may have been sabotaged by those two cunning old devils, the Sea God and the Asura God, they should not be underestimated.

Furthermore, with the Sea God and the Asura God lurking in other places and engaging in underhanded tactics, a slight mishap could trigger a butterfly effect that could bring about the destruction of the entire family ahead of schedule.

Even with his desperate efforts to improve his strength, coupled with the support of his brothers from other worlds, he still seems to be struggling.

But now it's different.

The situation with Qian Renxue might become a variable. With Chen Xin breaking through to level 98, Gu Rong about to enter level 97, and Ning Fengzhi's strength improving, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School finally has more confidence to deal with unexpected situations.

Lin Yao glanced at Chen Xin, then at Ning Fengzhi, his eyes gleaming: "Master has broken through to level 98, and Uncle Ning has also broken through to level 80. The overall amplification effect has reached 80%."

If we work together, we should have a chance to test our strength against a peerless Douluo.

In this way, even if Bibi Dong wanted to attack our sect, as long as Qian Daoliu doesn't intervene, she won't succeed so easily.

"Uncle Ning, I have a suggestion."

As various thoughts flashed through his mind, Lin Yao suddenly spoke, his expression becoming serious.

"It's best not to spread the news about your breakthrough to the eighth ring, as well as the advancement in strength of Grandpa Bone and Master."

"Let's play it safe and develop our strength first. If we can use this opportunity to ambush those forces that have designs on our sect, that would be perfect."

He knew the importance of concealing his strength, as this would give his sect more room to maneuver.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's eyes flashed with approval, and he nodded with a smile: "Xiao Yao, what you said is exactly what I was thinking."

Previously, the pressure on the Spirit Hall was too great, and we had to reveal the strength of two Title Douluos in order to stabilize those wavering forces and win over more allies.

But things are different now. The sect's top combat power has undergone a qualitative change, and we should also change our mindset.

He paused, his gaze becoming deep.

"There are indeed too many and too varied forces in this world. Those forces in Tiandou City that openly traffic people are far too filthy."

"The reason these filthy forces have been able to gain a foothold is precisely because of this world order where they can play both sides, coupled with the backing of Soul Douluos and Soul Saints, allowing them to fish in troubled waters."

But soon, Ning Fengzhi collected his thoughts and regained his composure. A thought flashed through his mind: "But it's too early to think about these things. The deeds of Chen Xin's father, that level 98 titled Douluo."

Although it's something from the older generation, I've heard a little about it. The Spirit Hall's foundation is far beyond what current sects can easily fathom.

The most important thing now is to wait for Xiao Yao and Rong Rong's generation to grow up.

If a level 99 peerless Douluo can emerge in the future, coupled with Rongrong's level 90 support, they will surely be able to dominate the world.

Everything we're doing now is to protect and safeguard you.

"But the extraordinary phenomenon of sword energy soaring into the sky was too obvious, and I'm afraid it can't be hidden from people."

Gu Rong suddenly spoke, her tone tinged with concern.

"With so many eyes watching both inside and outside the sect, it's almost impossible to keep it completely secret."

Ning Fengzhi smiled confidently, his gaze falling on Lin Yao: "That's simple. Just use one piece of information to obscure the other. Little Yao's strength has already reached the Soul Master realm, a realm that many geniuses may not be able to reach before the age of 20."

Such strength at such a young age, coupled with that terrifying spirit ring configuration, is itself the biggest talking point.

He paused, then continued.

"Especially your Star Sword Martial Soul, with its heaven-defying talent, if you say that this phenomenon was caused by your breakthrough, no one would doubt it."

Anyway, Xiao Yao will have to go out and exchange ideas in the future, and his strength can't be hidden. He might as well show his talent now and solidify his invincible spirit.

"Okay, Uncle Ning."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yao thought about it and felt that it wouldn't do him any harm.

After all, unless one hides in the sect for the rest of their life, their strength is easily revealed, so it's better to take this opportunity to make their debut.
