Douluo Sharingan, I really didn't coerce Xiao Wu!

Chapter 242 Flying Sword

After bidding farewell to Davis and Zhu Zhuyun, Chen Xuan took his daughter and left Xingluo City, preparing to return to the Tiandou Empire.

Instead of using the Flying Thunder God technique to arrive, he called a fast carriage to take the father and daughter away from Xingluo, traveling through the wilderness towards Tiandou City.

The main reason was that Chen Xuan felt the wind was too strong and worried that Xiao Qiu'er wouldn't be able to stand it, so he decided to choose something more comfortable. After all, she was his precious daughter, and he couldn't bear to part with her.

"The Heavenly Dou Empire, you really haven't disappointed me." Chen Xuan's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

They learned from Davis that they had captured a group of assassins who were trying to kill Xiao Qiu'er, and under severe torture, they finally managed to get them to talk.

Those people do not belong to the Heavenly Dou Empire, but are vassal states of that power, which is equivalent to working for the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Earlier, Chen Xuan thought it was most likely the work of the Spirit Hall, after all, Bibi Dong, that crazy woman, was capable of anything, and geniuses often died inexplicably, which was the work of the Spirit Hall.

However, the reality was quite unexpected. It turned out that the Heavenly Dou Empire, a self-proclaimed righteous force, was the one that harmed his daughter. This really surprised him.

It now seems that even Tian Dou is not safe, and is even more dangerous than Xing Luo.

Chen Xuan patted Xiao Qiu'er's head and said gently, "You'll have to work hard from now on. You'll be staying in the palace for a while, and once Daddy has finished dealing with things, you can go out and play."

"Ah...oh...okay, I understand, Dad." Chen Qiu'er pouted, looking very annoyed, her little face full of frustration.

Looking out the window at the blue sky, Chen Xuan had already made up his mind that some things needed to be put into action.

Although the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace is safe, his family can't live there forever. For the sake of his daughter, his family, and himself, he should settle some matters.

"Emperor Xueye, you are old and frail, it seems you don't want to live that long." A surge of anger welled up in Chen Xuan's heart.

Regardless of whether Emperor Xueye instigated this incident or not, it is inextricably linked to this old man. Without his permission, who would dare to act recklessly?

Chen Xuan felt that few people who had lived for over a hundred years and held supreme power were not ruthless and had a lot of blood on their hands, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to sit in that position.

Now that Emperor Xueye is seriously ill and bedridden, the guards will only be more stringent, making it impossible for ordinary people to get close.

"By brute force, we definitely won't succeed. We need to plan ahead," Chen Xuan muttered to himself. The best approach is to outsmart the enemy, not to act recklessly.

After all, it would be too much for him to handle so many top experts at once, and there was even a risk of him failing.

Unlike the Star Luo Empire, the Heaven Dou Empire possesses numerous Title Douluo, a large number of Soul Douluo and Soul Saint powerhouses, and a million-strong army.

Even a place like the Heaven Dou Academy has three Soul Douluos in charge, which shows that it possesses considerable Soul Master power.

Time flew by, and the carriage continued its journey, crossing the boundless grasslands until it arrived at a brightly lit town.

When we arrived, the sun had already set, night had fallen, and the sky was pitch black.

Chen Xuan did not choose to walk at night, but asked for a room so that Xiao Qiu'er could rest well in bed.

He climbed onto the roof, enjoying the evening breeze and the bright moonlight, and retrieved an item that had been sealed away for a long time from his system space.

A silver dagger and a piece of golden paper covered with densely packed text, numbering in the thousands.

These symbols and runes are very profound and difficult to understand. Even if an ordinary person finds this sword manual, they will not be able to practice it because they cannot understand a single word.

Even Chen Xuan needed the help and interpretation of the system to understand these scriptures; otherwise, he couldn't comprehend them.

Even so, back then he had only just reached the beginner level, and it would have been difficult for him to wield this flying sword. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been forced into such a situation when he escorted Xiao Wu back to the Star Dou Great Forest seven or eight years ago.

Now, Chen Xuan wants to practice the flying sword technique recorded on the golden paper again. With mastery of it, he can improve both his close and long-range combat skills and achieve surprise attacks.

He will be more confident in dealing with the people from the Heavenly Dou Empire then.

"The more difficult something is to master, the more it proves its extraordinary nature." Chen Xuan's eyes shone brightly. The main reason he couldn't master it back then was that his mental strength and soul were too weak to control the flying sword, let alone master those scriptures.

But things are different now. His mental strength is extremely powerful, far surpassing that of a Title Douluo, so there shouldn't be any problem.

"System, you've tricked me so many times, it's time for you to shine." Chen Xuan summoned the dog system to help him translate the scriptures on the golden paper.

Knowing it was in the wrong, the system wisely took practical steps, deciphering, translating, and rearranging the golden runes into text that ordinary people could understand.

"That's much better." Chen Xuan was in a good mood. He could finally understand it. Otherwise, he didn't know how long it would take to decipher and translate it one by one. This damn system finally did something human for once.

Next, he released his mental energy, drawing the silver short sword to hover in the air, tracing a unique path, and began practicing various wondrous techniques.

Chen Xuan closed his eyes, entered a state of enlightenment, and began studying the middle and latter parts of the scripture.

Clang!

The silver short sword trembled slightly, shaking incessantly and emitting a silvery light as it circled around Chen Xuan, its speed increasing rapidly, like a silver chain, quite extraordinary.

The latter half of the Sword Manual is very profound and extremely difficult, yet it is also simple and unadorned. As long as one's mental strength is strong enough, one can learn it.

The so-called flying sword is actually the ability to control objects with a huge amount of spiritual power to achieve the effect of riding a flying sword. However, it does not have much destructive power, so you have to cultivate the latter half. Only when you develop flying sword runes can you be considered to have mastered it.

Chi!

The silver dagger glowed, suddenly bursting with lightning, crackling and popping, its speed abruptly increasing to twice its previous speed.

"Huh, it really works?" Chen Xuan was astonished. He had only tried to inject lightning into it, but he didn't expect it to be successful. It was truly unexpected.

Then, he tried again, this time adding wind-attribute chakra. With a whoosh, wind blades emerged around the short sword, adhering to its surface and greatly increasing its lethality.

To Chen Xuan's surprise, when the wind and thunder attributes were added at the same time, there was a great improvement. The flying sword gained speed and damage bonuses, and even without the flying sword runes, its destructive power would still be considerable.

Chi!

A blinding sword light flew up, the short sword like a rainbow, and in an instant it slashed out, splitting a stone millstone in the courtyard in two.

To Chen Xuan's surprise, he felt no resistance at all. It was as if he was cutting into a piece of tofu, not a rock, and he could cut through it very easily.

Next, he practiced continuously in the courtyard, becoming more and more skilled at controlling objects, and wielding the short sword with greater ease.

Chi!

The silver short sword danced, transforming into a silver chain that weaved back and forth in the courtyard, occasionally slashing at the stone millstone. It was exceptionally sharp and made no noticeable sound.

When he put away his flying sword, the stone millstone had been shaved into hundreds of pieces, scattered in the courtyard. This was a testament to his powerful mental strength, which allowed him to control the flying sword with such precision.

"Could I think about this from a different angle?" Chen Xuan murmured, realizing something: since he could control objects, could he make a greatsword to use for flying?

He was very bold, and even thought that if he could concentrate his mental energy under his feet to achieve the effect of transporting things, could he then achieve flight?

Chen Xuan thought it was feasible. As long as his mental strength was strong enough and his ability to control objects reached a high level, these things would not be difficult.

However, he did not immediately begin practicing. Instead, he continued the cycle of practice until today, when there would be more time later.

Afterwards, Chen Xuan paid ten gold soul coins as compensation for the damaged millstone.

Nothing was said that night, and the days and nights passed in vain until dawn arrived quickly.

Early in the morning, Chen Xuan woke up Xiao Qiu'er and they boarded a more comfortable carriage to continue their journey to the Heaven Dou Empire.
