Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 390 Sword Immortal Chen Xin!

Han Feng stood frozen in place, holding the Emperor Sword Ice Crystal, unsure of what to do.

This cannot be blamed on Han Feng. Firstly, Han Feng's level is what it is. Even if Han Feng can fight against a Soul Douluo head-on, and even fight against a Title Douluo when he has reached his limit and combines ice and fire, he is still just a Soul Emperor without a sixth soul ring. No matter how high Han Feng's talent is or how strong his combat power is, he only has a superficial understanding of the Title Douluo's level, let alone the level of a peerless Douluo like Chen Xin!

Secondly, Han Feng was not very familiar with Chen Xin. Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, apart from Ning Rongrong, the person Han Feng was most familiar with was Gu Rong, followed by Ning Fengzhi. Han Feng and Chen Xin did not have much interaction, and Han Feng's understanding of Chen Xin was still based on Gu Rong's verbal descriptions.

Stubborn, powerful, sarcastic, and headstrong—that's what Gu Rong calls Chen Xin.

As for any hidden ailments, cultivation level, or bottleneck, Han Feng knew nothing about them, and naturally couldn't tell what state Chen Xin was in now!

Han Feng only saw that Chen Xin was at a disadvantage in the battle against the Holy Dragon Douluo, and the Holy Dragon Douluo was obviously after Chen Xin. In order to prevent Chen Xin from dying at the hands of the Holy Dragon Douluo, wasn't it only right to help him?

But Ning Fengzhi's words left Han Feng completely bewildered.

Chen Xin actually plans to refine his sword through battle, aiming to break through to level 97 in one go!

No wonder the Holy Dragon Douluo mentioned the whetstone earlier!

"This kid's talent is not bad!" To Han Feng's surprise, even the God of Defense of the God Realm was alarmed. The God of Defense's interested voice came from the Divine Ancient Pearl.

"Elder Yu!?" Han Feng exclaimed in surprise.

The God of Defense grunted in annoyance, clearly guessing what Han Feng was thinking. He explained irritably, "This kid's talent isn't bad, but it's only so-so. It's far from enough to surprise me. I was just taking a look at your cultivation progress out of boredom!"

The God of Defense disdained to lie; he had indeed been confined to his quarters recently. Although he could disregard the orders of the central authority of the God Realm, the five God Kings had already given him ample face. The God of Defense didn't have any old friends in the God Realm to visit, so he simply decided to check on Han Feng's situation.

Upon looking at it, he witnessed Chen Xin facing death and forging his sword in a desperate situation, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Han Feng's understanding of the God of Defense was not shallow. Although the God of Defense said it was not worth mentioning, Han Feng knew that if Chen Xin's talent was really not worth mentioning, the God of Defense probably wouldn't even have the desire to speak!

This old man is incredibly stubborn!

"Hehe!" Thinking of this, Han Feng chuckled mischievously and said to the God of Defense with a sly grin, "Old Yu... do you think Senior Chen Xin has the potential to become a god?"

How could the God of Defense not see through Han Feng's little scheme?

However, the God of Defense did not expose Han Feng, and instead went along with Han Feng's words, saying, "The Douluo Continent is a land of outstanding people and abundant resources, with countless people possessing the potential to become gods. This child's talent is among the top in the Douluo Continent, so he naturally has the potential to become a god, but it's not too much; he barely possesses the talent of a second-level god."

To the gods, the hidden ailment in Chen Xin's body was no problem. What the gods cared about was his talent, temperament, and compatibility with the gods!

If Chen Xin hadn't had that hidden ailment, his achievements might not have been lower than Poseidon's!

Hearing this, Han Feng became excited. If Chen Xin could become a god, it would definitely be a good thing for Han Feng!

"But becoming a god isn't just about talent!" the God of Defense grumbled. "Talent, destiny, temperament, and compatibility—all these are essential. No matter how high your talent, if other conditions aren't met, a god won't pass on their legacy!"

Upon hearing this, Han Feng calmed down.

As the God of Defense said, becoming a god is indeed not easy. Having talent alone does not guarantee becoming a god. Poseidon, Qian Daoliu, Tang Hao, and others, which of them lacked talent?

Tang Hao was simply not destined for it. Throughout his life, before Tang San rose to prominence, he only visited the City of Slaughter once. However, at that time, the successor of the Asura Sect was his grandfather, so it was impossible for him to inherit the legacy. Poseidon and Qian Daoliu did encounter compatible gods, but either their talents were lacking or their character was lacking, so they could only become representatives of the gods in the end!

To be honest, Tang Hao, Poseidon, or Qian Daoliu, in terms of talent alone, would be more than capable of inheriting the status of a second-level or third-level god!

"See!" The God of Defense narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully, "Look at this child's choice. If he chooses a balance of strength and gentleness, perhaps other gods will take a liking to him. But if he chooses to forge ahead without hesitation..."

Han Feng clearly had no idea what kind of riddle the God of Defense was playing. He only knew that he called Chen Xin "senior," but the God of Defense called Chen Xin "little kid," which felt incongruous.

At the same time, the confrontation between the Seven Kill Sword and the white light wall has reached a fever pitch. Strangely, Chen Xin, who should have been exhausted long ago, is now glowing with health, his neck is radiant, and he even shows signs of countering the true form of the white-armored holy dragon!

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong both breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with joy!

The Holy Dragon Douluo let out a ferocious roar, taunting, "Chen Xin! Choose! Will you be a coward for life, or a swordsman for a moment!?"

The several titled Douluo present all understood that Chen Xin's breakthrough to level 97 was an unstoppable fact!

However, Chen Xin and the Holy Dragon Douluo, who were directly involved, understood that Chen Xin was still one step away from breaking through!

Just as the God of Defense said, Chen Xin and the Holy Dragon Douluo both understood that Chen Xin still had one last choice—either to choose to go all the way on the path of sword cultivation, focusing solely on attack with no turning back; or to combine strength and gentleness, sheathing his sword!

If we follow the Holy Dragon Douluo's wishes, he would certainly hope that Chen Xin would choose the path of sword cultivation, because that is a path to death!

If they only advance and never retreat, in their current state of mind, wouldn't they die from exhaustion before breaking through the white light wall?

That's why the Holy Dragon Douluo deliberately provoked Chen Xin, trying to lead him down the path of sword cultivation!

In truth, everyone is a thousand-year-old fox. How could Chen Xin not know what the Holy Dragon Douluo was thinking?

But according to Chen Xin's own intentions, he also wanted to take the path of sword cultivation to its ultimate level!

On one hand, there is the safe path to breaking through to level 97, with a smooth road ahead in cultivation and the potential to reach the limit, but this does not align with one's true intentions; on the other hand, there is the path to seeking a breakthrough within the limit, with a life-or-death situation, and the future cultivation is unpredictable and the future path is unclear, but it is the sword path that one has pursued all one's life!

My heart is conflicted...

"Chen Xin! You hesitated!?" Seeing the hesitation on Chen Xin's face, the Holy Dragon Douluo became anxious and exclaimed, "You actually hesitated!? You are Chen Xin, the swordsman! You are the number one swordsman in the world! You actually hesitated between the sword path and survival!? Fine, fine! You can break through steadily and ponder slowly. I can also fail and return to the Spirit Hall in a sorry state!"

"To exchange this for the complete collapse and destruction of the world's swordsmanship! It's not a loss!"

The Holy Dragon Douluo laughed wildly three times, his face full of mockery and ridicule!

The phrase "The world's swordsmanship is in ruins and destroyed" exploded in Chen Xin's heart like a thunderclap!

Ironically, it was Chen Xin's mortal enemy who finally woke him up!

hum-

The next moment, the Seven Kill Sword suddenly unleashed endless sword light. Under the illumination of the sword light, Chen Xin became as transparent as a god. Even the very tips of his hair seemed to be formed from sword intent, filled with sharp sword energy!

This scene made the Holy Dragon Douluo's eyes widen. He knew that he had succeeded!

But a sense of foreboding also crept into his heart!

"We sword cultivators, what is death to us!?" Chen Xin spoke, as if questioning the Holy Dragon Douluo, or perhaps himself, or even the heavens!

Immediately afterward, Chen Xin raised his right hand, and a Seven Kill Sword, entirely formed of condensed light, appeared out of thin air, pointing at the Holy Dragon Douluo. Chen Xin spoke again: "With the Seven Kill Sword, I illuminate the path of the sword! From this day forward, all sword cultivators under heaven shall pay homage to me as their master!"

In that instant, Chen Xin was like a sword immortal who had fallen from the heavens, sacred and inviolable. All the swords in the entire Tian Dou City were drawn from their sheaths and hummed incessantly, as if welcoming their king. Even the Emperor's Sword at Xue Ke's waist trembled uncontrollably and fell to the ground, as if it were prostrating itself in worship!

As Chen Xin finished speaking, an extremely powerful aura burst forth from his body, directly breaking through the white-armored holy dragon's aura lock!

Chen Xin has broken through to level 97!

At the same time, the Holy Dragon Douluo laughed heartily, shouting arrogantly, "As expected of Sword Dao Chen Xin! No! I should call you Sword Immortal! Sword Immortal Chen Xin!"

"What a pity! It was nothing but a fleeting moment of glory!" The Holy Dragon Douluo laughed wildly without restraint. Under his control, his white-armored Holy Dragon true form emitted a piercing sound: "Today! I will slaughter you, the Sword Immortal who has never been seen before or since!"

Chen Xin's breakthrough is of extraordinary significance. Due to his hidden ailment, he could not break through to level 97 in the conventional way. However, after his death battle with the Holy Dragon Douluo, his sword heart was perfected. Finally, he chose to break through to level 97 using the purest sword cultivation method. His existence means that pure sword cultivators can also break through to level 97, or even become Limit Douluo, and are on par with the patriarch of sword cultivators!

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call Chen Xin a sword immortal!

"Ninth Soul Skill - Holy Dragon Heavenly Punishment Cannon!" The Holy Dragon Douluo no longer focused solely on defense. The last soul ring of the White Armor Holy Dragon True Body suddenly shone brightly, and behind that white light wall, terrifying energy began to condense above the head of the White Armor Holy Dragon True Body!

Although Chen Xin has broken through to level 97, and although Chen Xin is an extremely skilled swordsman, the Holy Dragon Douluo is not afraid!

Even if Chen Xin breaks through, he will only be at the same realm as me. Even if Chen Xin breaks through my defenses with a single sword strike, how much strength will he have left to face my ninth soul skill?

Who made Chen Xin a pure sword cultivator!?

A gentleman can be deceived by his methods. Since Chen Xin wants to become a sword cultivator, then the Holy Dragon Douluo will use the methods used against sword cultivators to deal with Chen Xin!
