Douluo Continent: Twin Angels, Heartless Rakshasa

The moon was bright and the stars were few; clouds drifted slowly across the sky, occasionally obscuring half of the bright moon.

Qian Renchen and Bibi Dong entered the Elder Hall together. Their identities had changed, and the knights guarding the Elder Hall bowed to them with increasing reverence.

After taking his seat in the Elder Hall, Qian Daoliu turned his gaze to Bibi Dong. "Every Pope of the Spirit Hall has had a direct Guardian Douluo at the Pope's beck and call."

"As the Pope, you may choose one or two elders from the Spirit Hall to serve as your Guardian Douluo."

"Bibi Dong, who would you like to choose as your direct guardian Douluo?"

"A direct subordinate Douluo?" Bibi Dong's thoughts wandered, and she felt distressed: "I originally wanted to win over Yue Guan and Gui Mei, as these two have a martial soul fusion skill that would be extremely useful."

"It's a pity that both of them have received favors from Qian Daoliu. If they stay by my side, they might become his spies to monitor me, which would be counterproductive."

"In that case, we shall select two new direct subordinate Douluos..."

After weighing the pros and cons in her mind, Bibi Dong said, "Let Lingyuan Douluo and Shemao Douluo be my guardian Douluos."

"No problem, you can go and inform them now," Qian Daoliu nodded.

"Then I'll take my leave."

Bibi Dong left after saying a few words, then turned and left the Elder Hall.

Only Qian Daoliu and Qian Renchen remained at the scene.

Qian Daoliu couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Chen, during the battle at Haotian Sect, I saw you unleash a sword strike imbued with sword intent. What exactly happened? When did your swordsmanship reach such a high level?"

This was a question he had kept in his heart, one he had always wanted to ask.

"Sword intent?" Qian Renchen was taken aback for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Grandpa, are you referring to the anger contained within the sword energy?"

"That's right."

"That's a special sword aura formed by a soul skill I comprehended after creating my soul ring."

"You need to comprehend this soul skill on your own?" Qian Daoliu was taken aback upon hearing this, and then he suddenly realized, "That's right. Humans and soul beasts are different. Soul beasts are born with some innate abilities, while humans do not. That's normal."

"Then is the wrath of wind and thunder that I comprehended the so-called sword intent?" Qian Renchen pursed his lips and pressed for an answer.

"It is indeed sword intent." Qian Daoliu suddenly became serious and nodded slightly. "This anger is like adding dry firewood to the sword energy, making the fire of the sword energy burn even more fiercely."

"It took me a month or two to comprehend the sword intent back then."

"I didn't expect you to comprehend your own sword intent in such a short time. Your talent is far superior to my grandfather's."

"In the future, perhaps you will reach the level that our family has pursued for generations!"

"Grandpa, are there different levels in swordsmanship?" Qian Renchen suddenly asked.

"Generally speaking, there is an unwritten division of realms." After pondering for a moment, Qian Daoliu began to explain the several realms of swordsmanship to him.

Swordsmanship has four levels.

The first level is swordsmanship: proficient in sword moves, able to wield a sword and slash, able to release sword energy, and able to injure people from a distance.

The second level is sword aura: the aura can intimidate people and can be combined with sword moves to amplify power.

The third level is sword intent: the man and the sword resonate with each other, and the sword contains the man's own will, which is more fierce and lethal than the sword momentum. Moreover, the sword intent is extremely special, unpredictable and strange, and it is difficult to resist enemies of the same level.

The fourth level, Sword Heart: Condense your sword heart, break through illusions and guard your spirit, unite your heart and sword, let the sword move with your heart, take your heart as the boundary, and you can form a sword domain!

Sword Heart… Qian Renchen suddenly remembered a character from the novel Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect.

Ji Juechen.

Ji Juechen must have condensed a sword heart, using the heart as a boundary to form a sword domain, and he created a sword fanatic's domain...

It's unclear whether Sword Douluo Chen Xin has condensed a sword heart.

"Sword Soul Masters throughout history have speculated that there may be an even higher realm, but no one has ever set foot in it, and those who have condensed a sword heart are extremely rare."

After explaining these realms, Qian Daoliu did not forget to teach, "Xiao Chen, remember, do not be obsessed with breaking through the sword path. You have already comprehended the sword intent, so do not rush to condense the sword heart and delay the advancement of your soul power."

"As long as your soul power level is higher than your opponent's, no matter how strong their swordsmanship is, they are no match for you!"

"I understand. I won't be studying swordsmanship every day. With a higher level and deeper foundation, I might break through naturally," Qian Renchen said.

Qian Daoliu said with relief, "I'm relieved that you think this way."

"Grandpa, what level of cultivation are you at?" Qian Renchen climbed onto the table using both hands and feet, his knees against the surface and his arms supporting his body, meeting Qian Daoliu's gaze.

"Grandpa has grasped the essence of swordsmanship, but he hasn't condensed a sword heart because he has too many distracting thoughts." Qian Daoliu raised his hand and patted his head with a smile.

"What about the Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?" Qian Renchen asked again.

"It should be similar to mine. Condensing a sword heart is too difficult." Qian Daoliu's tone was somewhat uncertain. He never paid attention to these things.

"Oh." Qian Renchen nodded slightly, thinking to himself, "Sword Douluo's Seven Kill Domain is indeed an innate domain, not something he comprehended later."

He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Grandpa, how many criminals are locked up in our Spirit Hall's prison?"

"Why are you asking this?" Qian Daoliu was taken aback, then suddenly realized something, his brows furrowing slightly. "You don't mean to kill them all, do you?"

"Yes, Grandpa, please use the Angelic Light to remove my second spirit ring. I need to reabsorb it," Qian Renchen said with a light laugh.

"Come with me." Qian Daoliu sighed and said sternly, "These criminals are one thing, but we must not allow them to harm ordinary people indiscriminately."

"We, the people of the Spirit Hall, must not kill innocent people indiscriminately. You must always remember this principle."

"I understand," Qian Renchen said casually, his eyelids drooping.

"Sigh~" Qian Daoliu shook his head. Fortunately, although his grandson never cared about life, he had never indiscriminately killed ordinary people, which made him feel a little relieved.

The two left the Elder Hall one after the other and arrived at the Douluo Hall. Qian Daoliu used the angelic light from the angel statue to gently peel away Qian Renchen's second soul ring.

This method of removing spirit rings is similar to Tang San's method of removing spirit rings using the Sea God's Light. It cannot actively remove spirit rings, but it can assist Qian Renchen in removing them without endangering his life or harming his foundation and soul.

After stripping away his second spirit ring, his spirit power reached level 19. However, this did not mean that his spirit power was permanently reduced to level 19. He only needed to absorb another spirit ring to return to his previous level.

After leaving the Douluo Palace, the grandfather and grandson walked through the streets of Wuhun City, finally stopping at a dilapidated three-story prison building in the western corner of Wuhun City.

The prison building covers an area of ​​approximately 5,000 square meters and is surrounded by a stone wall that is two people high. Two Spirit Hall knights are on duty at the entrance and exit.
