Douluo Continent: Half-level Innate Realm, but a Sword Cultivator with a Heart-Only Mind

A thoughtful look flashed across Sword Douluo's eyes, and he gradually stopped his attack.

Seeing this, Qi Dao did not take the opportunity to launch an attack, but instead retreated to the side to summarize his gains.

Half an hour later, Ning Fengzhi, Xue Qinghe, and Ning Rongrong arrived at the martial arts arena. As soon as they arrived, they saw Sword Douluo standing in the center of the arena, surrounded by sharp sword energy.

"Young man, what's wrong with Uncle Jian?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

"I just sparred with Senior Sword Douluo, and he probably gained some insights!" Qi Dao replied.

"this..."

Upon hearing this, both Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe showed a look of disbelief.

Shouldn't it be the Title Douluo giving guidance to the Soul Master when they spar?

How come in the end it felt like a Title Douluo was being instructed by a Soul Master?

Another half hour passed.

A loud, resounding laugh suddenly echoed throughout the training ground.

The figure in the center of the training ground suddenly gained a bit more momentum, but what was strange was that the sharp sword intent that had been surrounding him had lost some of its sharpness.

Sword Douluo opened his eyes, his usually cold face now showing an undisguised smile. After glancing at Qi Dao and the others not far away, he immediately withdrew his sword intent and strode over.

"Young friend Qi Dao, my swordsmanship has stagnated for nearly ten years. If it weren't for your guidance, I don't know when I would have been able to comprehend the state of man and sword as one."

"With your help today, young friend, I have a premonition that I will be able to reach the state of perfect harmony between man and sword in three to five years at most!"

Qi Dao thought to himself, "Does it really take three to five years to reach the state of perfect harmony between man and sword?"

He has also benefited greatly today and believes that he will be able to reach the state of oneness with the sword within a year at most.

Standing nearby, Ning Fengzhi exclaimed with delight, "Congratulations, Uncle Jian, on your great improvement in swordsmanship!"

Sword Douluo smiled faintly, "Not only that, if I can comprehend the state of man and sword as one, my level may also rise to another level."

Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe's expressions both changed upon hearing this.

The former is a pleasant surprise, while the latter is a cause for concern.

Even within the Spirit Hall, aside from that woman, there are only a handful of Title Douluos who have reached level 97.

In addition, Sword Douluo also has Ning Fengzhi, the number one support Soul Master in the entire continent, to assist him.

Ning Fengzhi at level 79 can even bring a terrifying 80% boost to multiple attributes of Sword Douluo.

In this light, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School poses a much greater threat to the Spirit Hall!

After regaining his composure, Ning Fengzhi solemnly said, "Young friend Qi Dao, from this day forward, you are a friend of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School forever!"

Qi Dao smiled calmly after hearing this.

He is currently a friend of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but if Xue Qinghe's identity is exposed, things could change.

...

After Ning Fengzhi and the other two left, Xue Qinghe looked at Qi Dao.

"How was it? Did you have a successful day?"

"Even the Sword Douluo gained something. My swordsmanship talent is better than his, so isn't it normal for me to gain something too?"

Qi Dao smiled casually, as if he were talking about something extremely ordinary.

"That's true!"

"Your swordsmanship talent is recognized even by the Sword Douluo."

"If Sword Douluo hadn't admitted it himself, I really wouldn't have known that your understanding of swordsmanship had reached such a terrifying level."

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe smiled.

But then she asked curiously, "By the way, Sword Douluo said he could reach the state of oneness with the sword within three to five years. What about you?"

Qi Dao's lips curled up slightly, and he held up one finger!

Upon seeing this, Xue Qinghe's pupils dilated.

He doesn't believe that Qi Dao refers to ten years!

After all, even Sword Douluo claimed that Qi Dao's swordsmanship talent was higher than his own.

"A year?"

Xue Qinghe asked tentatively.

Qi Dao nodded and smiled.

Xue Qinghe gasped in shock!

Is Ado going against the heavens?

The realm that Sword Douluo only comprehended at the age of eighty or ninety was achieved by Qi Dao at the age of fifteen!

...

The day after Qi Dao returned to Tian Dou Academy, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School still sent someone to deliver a gift of thanks to him.

They are three ounces of Soul-Soothing Incense that can invigorate the mind and nourish the soul, a soft armor made of feathers woven from the feathers of a ten-thousand-year-old Ink Feather Eagle, and one hundred thousand gold soul coins.

Of these, 100,000 gold soul coins are the least valuable.

After receiving the gift of gratitude from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Qi Dao returned to his simple and unpretentious life.

Cultivation, Soul Battles, and occasionally accompanying Dugu Yan shopping after Soul Battles—three months passed in the blink of an eye.

Tiandou Academy is on holiday!

A major event that shocked the mainland occurred during these three months.

The Spirit Hall dispatched its Angel Legion to the border between the two empires to conduct a thorough sweep of fallen soul masters. Anyone found with traces of fallen soul masters was to be killed without mercy.

In three months, countless heads rolled and rivers of blood flowed.

Many fallen soul masters were so frightened upon hearing the news that they either fled overseas or escaped to the City of Slaughter.

In an instant, the border between the two empires was transformed, and the Spirit Hall's reputation soared. Countless people and spirit masters sang praises of the Spirit Hall's deeds day and night.

Of course, some people were unhappy after learning about this.

For example, the two great empires and the three upper sects.

They wondered, what was the Spirit Hall up to with all this commotion?

Especially after this battle, the prestige of the Spirit Hall reached its peak.

Whether it was the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire or the Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire, both of them had only one thought.

What is your purpose in seeking such high prestige, Spirit Hall?

Are they planning a rebellion?!

Although Qi Dao was focused on cultivation, he still learned about this matter from Dugu Yan.

He instantly realized that Xue Qinghe was coming to avenge him because he had been attacked by a Fallen Soul Master in the Star Dou Great Forest.

This Brother Xue is really good at getting along with people!

Besides this major event, several minor incidents also occurred around Qi Dao.

One is that Dugu Bo condensed a soul core, greatly increasing his strength.

The other is that Dugu Yan broke through to level 40 and, with the help of Dugu Bo, absorbed a 6,000-year-old soul ring.

Undoubtedly, Dugu Yan's fourth spirit ring also surpassed the limits of ordinary spirit masters.

Tiandou Academy.

Qi Dao and Dugu Yan strolled side by side in the mimicry zone.

Dugu Yan asked, "When are you going back to Nottingham City?"

She knew that Qi Dao would go home once a year.

Qi Dao replied, "Three days later!"

He planned to fly back directly on his sword, and even excluding the rest time along the way, he could still get home in two or three days.

"Three days later?"

Dugu Yan thought for a moment, then said, "Before you go home, go to Grandpa's herb garden and pick out two herbs for your uncle and aunt to take back."

Qi Dao thought about it and did not refuse.

"Thank you so much, senior!"

Although my parents are of average talent and have missed the best time to take the herb, it can still improve their talents.

Dugu Yan laughed and said, "If you really want to thank me, then don't bother cultivating for the next three days!"

"OK!"

Qi Dao did not hesitate at all.

Although he enjoys cultivation, he is not so rigid as to reject even this situation.
