Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 389 Advancement!?

Chen Xin's talent is undeniably fierce; otherwise, he could not have achieved the title of the world's number one attacker and would have been given the prefix "sword dao" in his name. When people mention Sword Douluo, they always subconsciously refer to him as Sword Dao Chen Xin!

The Seven Kill Sword is one of the few top-tier weapon spirits on the continent that can rival the Clear Sky Hammer. In terms of talent alone, Chen Xin can definitely be ranked in the top ten in the Douluo Continent today!

Among the eight members of Shrek Academy, only Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun, who have awakened the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, have the talent to surpass Chen Xin!

Characters like Han Feng and Tang San, who are practically cheating, are naturally excluded from this category.

Xiao Wu is a soul beast who has undergone rebirth and transformation, so she is not considered.

Unfortunately, when Chen Xin was young, he was so reckless that he injured his blood and qi while hunting soul beasts. At the time, it seemed like there was no big problem, but when Chen Xin broke through to the Title Douluo level, he found that the injury from that year had left a hidden and stubborn injury in his body, causing his blood and qi to be blocked in one place all over his body.

This is also a major reason why Chen Xin has been unable to break through level 97!

Chen Xin had tried various methods to remove this hidden injury. With the financial and human resources of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it would be an exaggeration to say that they had searched the entire Douluo Continent to treat this hidden ailment for Chen Xin, but unfortunately, all of them ended in failure.

Over time, Chen Xin gave up and stopped focusing on getting rid of the hidden ailment in his body. He sought another way to break through to level 97. That's right, others didn't even understand how to break through to level 97, but Chen Xin already knew how to break through to level 97. However, he had blocked this path himself and could only seek another way!

But this naturally increases the difficulty infinitely!

After wasting decades, Chen Xin still lingered on the threshold of level 96, unable to step into the gate of level 97!

But at this moment, when Chen Xin faced the Holy Dragon Douluo who had unleashed the White Armor Holy Dragon True Form, he was shocked to discover that his bottleneck, which had been dormant for decades, seemed to be loosening!

Even the slightest flutter of emotion was enough to fill Chen Xin with ecstasy!

Although Chen Xin knew that he still didn't understand how to break through this final barrier, he had a vague feeling that as long as he fought the Holy Dragon Douluo without being defeated in the subsequent battles, he would be able to break through!

It seemed absurd, but Chen Xin firmly believed it!

Realizing this, Chen Xin no longer hesitated. He stared at the white-armored holy dragon in front of him, which was like an ancient ferocious beast. A trace of excitement flashed in his sharp sword eyes. He didn't care about the difference in strength. The seventh soul ring of the Seven Kill Sword suddenly lit up, and all the swords in the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School hummed in unison!

The next moment, a giant sword cleaved through the sky. The cold blade reflected a chilling aura under the sunlight. It stood behind Chen Xin, whose eyes were blank. It seemed that he had become one with the sword. Every move he made was full of awe-inspiring sword energy!

"Ha!" The Holy Dragon Douluo opposite Chen Xin, upon seeing the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul True Form, showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he sneered disdainfully, his extremely mocking voice emanating from the hideous maw of the white-armored Holy Dragon True Form: "Broken Spine Sword, you dare to draw your sheath!?"

Faced with the mockery of the Holy Dragon Douluo, Chen Xin showed no joy or sorrow.

"A swordsman! Unyielding! Unhumiliated! Fearless! Advance without retreat!" Chen Xin had clearly entered a state of enlightenment. Despite facing a formidable enemy like the Holy Dragon Douluo, he suddenly uttered a series of incomprehensible words.

But these words, spoken by Chen Xin, were like a sharp sword, piercing deep into everyone's hearts, even leaving sword marks on the white jade slabs of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!

Chen Xin had no swords in his hands, yet it seemed as if he was holding the Seven Kill Sword, the sword of his lifelong devotion. His other hand caressed the void as if he were stroking a lover. At this moment, even the Holy Dragon Douluo seemed to see a real sword!

Immediately afterward, Chen Xin's aura suddenly changed, like a peerless sword poised to strike. He raised his right hand, as if holding a sword, and pointed it at the Holy Dragon Douluo, asking indifferently, "Does Your Excellency know whether Seven Kills is effective?"

The fierce vertical eyes of the white-armored holy dragon's true form shrank sharply in an instant!

In that instant, the Holy Dragon Douluo sensed a strong threat from Chen Xin!

The white-armored Holy Dragon's true form twisted and contorted, his mind filled with unprecedented rage. The Holy Dragon Douluo roared almost hoarsely, "Chen Xin! You dare use me as your whetstone?!"

"Very well!" The Holy Dragon Douluo laughed in fury, uttering "Very well" three times in succession. The soul power surrounding his white-armored Holy Dragon True Body had already turned crimson, and his beastly eyes were blazing with killing intent: "Then let me see whether your blade breaks first, or this whetstone of mine shatters first!"

Saint Dragon Douluo was furious and enraged, while Chen Xin remained calm and composed.

Chen Xin's hand gestures shifted, making a motion to sheathe his sword. Then, like a banished immortal, he stood atop the Seven Kill Sword's true form and said indifferently, "Without distinguishing between sword and saber, how dare you speak of courage?"

"You bastard, you're courting death!" Seeing that Chen Xin's sword heart had been formed, the Holy Dragon Douluo's anger intensified. He no longer gave Chen Xin a chance to build up his strength and took the initiative to attack. His white-armored Holy Dragon True Body pounced on Chen Xin with unstoppable force. The mere aura he emitted was enough to make many disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School tremble with fear!

Chen Xin's sword-like eyes were also solemn, ready for battle!

Although Chen Xin's sword heart has now reached a high level of mastery, making him fearless and indomitable, this does not mean that Chen Xin is a fool!

Blindly acting recklessly and being brave should not be confused!

"Imperial command!" Chen Xin shouted sharply, and the Seven Kill Sword moved, changing from standing upright to horizontal, drawing a torrent of sword light in the air!

The sword light and the resulting sword shadows were enough to send chills down one's spine with just a glance!

"Hmph! Nonsense!" Yet, this earth-shattering, awe-inspiring sword only elicited a disdainful snort from the Holy Dragon Douluo!

The white-armored holy dragon's true form let out a sinister laugh, and a white wall of light appeared in front of it, colliding with the Seven Kill Sword!

boom--

The aftershocks from the collision were terrifying. Even Han Feng's Supreme Defense and Isolation Domain was affected, forcing Han Feng to increase his output. The sect's protective array kept humming under the strain, as if it was about to shatter at any moment!

Everyone in Tiandou City was terrified. Even though there was no aura surrounding them, just looking at them was enough to fill them with fear!

Han Feng stared at the frozen Seven Kill Sword and the white light wall with a deep frown.

Although Han Feng is not an offensive Soul Master and has nothing to do with so-called sword cultivators, he is a defensive Soul Master!

Han Feng understood perfectly well that although the duel between Chen Xin and the Holy Dragon Douluo seemed to be evenly matched on the surface, in reality, Chen Xin was at a disadvantage!

As a sword cultivator who only knows how to advance and never retreat, every strike of his sword is a matter of life and death, yet Chen Xin's sword was blocked by the Holy Dragon Douluo!

In this respect, Holy Dragon Douluo has already won!

"Level 96 and level 97... is the difference really that big!?" Han Feng murmured to himself.

To be honest, back then under the Heavenly Tribulation, the power of Han Feng and Dai Mubai's divine martial soul fusion skill, the Heavenly Fiery Armored Tiger, definitely exceeded level 97. However, that was more due to the amplification of divine authority and had little to do with soul power!

No one could answer Han Feng's question.

At least for now, no one can answer Han Feng. After all, Ning Fengzhi is only a level 79 Soul Saint. Although his cultivation is slightly higher than Han Feng's, his understanding of the Title Douluo realm is even less than Han Feng's!

Ning Fengzhi had certainly heard about the difference between level 96 and level 97, but he didn't say anything—firstly, Han Feng had probably heard about what Ning Fengzhi had heard about as well; secondly, Ning Fengzhi recognized Han Feng's talent and knew that Han Feng would definitely break through to level 96 in the future, so it was best to experience it firsthand!

If he tells Han Feng in advance, it will only leave a stereotype in Han Feng's mind, which will be more harmful than beneficial!

"No!" Han Feng's face darkened, as if he had made up his mind. He muttered firmly to himself, "We can't continue like this. If our attack can't break through our defenses, we'll lose. We can't let Senior Chen die at the hands of the Holy Dragon Douluo!"

Han Feng's gaze first fell on the Azure Sky Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, but he only glanced at them before shifting his attention away.

The Azure Sky Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape are not in a good situation. The Martial Soul Fusion Skill of the Thousand-Pound Douluo and the Demon-Subduing Douluo is extremely powerful and has a very high degree of compatibility. A coiled dragon purple-gold staff is dancing in the air with a whooshing sound. Every move is like a thunderbolt, leaving the Azure Sky Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape with no power to fight back!

Fortunately, besides being incredibly strong, the Azure Sky Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were also extremely resilient. Even if they were being attacked one-sidedly, these two thick-skinned 100,000-year-old soul beasts could endure it for a long time!

On the other hand, Gu Rong has the Bone Dragon Martial Soul True Body and the amplification and support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. His cultivation is almost the same as Seabird Douluo's. He is currently suppressing Seabird Douluo. If Seabird Douluo hadn't run fast enough, he would have been killed by Gu Rong several times over!

Upon seeing this, Han Feng's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted, "Senior Gu! Stop playing around! Senior Chen needs backup!"

Han Feng, like a commander of a fountain, tried to call Gu Rong back to guard the home.

To Han Feng's surprise, Gu Rong, who clearly held a huge advantage, only glanced back at him and then made no other move, showing no intention of helping Chen Xin at all!

Han Feng's breath caught in his throat!

"Damn it!" Han Feng couldn't help but curse under his breath. The Emperor Sword Ice Crystal appeared in his palm as he stared in the direction of Saint Dragon Douluo and Chen Xin, thinking to himself, "Chen Xin is Rongrong's grandfather, so he's practically my elder! Since you won't save him, I'll do it myself!"

"Han Feng!" But just as Han Feng's Imperial Sword Ice Crystal was about to be drawn, Ning Fengzhi suddenly reached out and patted him on the shoulder, saying earnestly, "Don't disturb Uncle Sword's advancement!"

Ning Fengzhi's sudden action made Han Feng instinctively shudder. He was about to retort when he suddenly froze, turned around dumbfounded, blinked, and asked incredulously, "Advanced!?"

Ning Fengzhi nodded seriously, then looked up in his direction and murmured, "Is Uncle Jian finally about to break through his decades-long bottleneck?!"

At this moment, Han Feng could no longer hear Ning Fengzhi's voice.

At this moment, the word "advancement" echoed in Han Feng's mind!

Chen Xin is actually going to break through during his battle with the Holy Dragon Douluo!

In this fierce battle where life and death hang in the balance!?

Breaking through mid-battle, greatly increasing strength, turning defeat into victory, and successfully slapping someone in the face—isn't this the protagonist's prerogative?!
