Triggering a treasure chest in Douluo Continent

Chapter 49 The Arrival of Sword Douluo

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Ning Rongrong trembled and quickly looked around. When she saw that familiar white figure, tears immediately welled up in her eyes.

"Waaaah... Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Sword."

Ning Rongrong rushed into the arms of the old man in white, tears streaming down her face as if they were free.

The old man in white felt a pang of sympathy upon seeing this.

"Grandpa Sword... No way, could it be that Ning Fengzhi, that scoundrel, sent that old bastard Chen Xin here?" Shi Quan felt a headache coming on.

Given the affection that Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo have for Ning Rongrong in the original novel, Ning Rongrong's aggrieved appearance will surely be thoroughly investigated.

really.

Chen Xin quickly and tenderly embraced her petite body, "Rongrong, what's wrong? Have you been wronged? Tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will help you get revenge."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xin's gaze swept over everyone present.

Their sharp gazes hung over everyone's heads like a sword.

Even Qin Ming, as a teacher, felt a chill run down his spine when facing Chen Xin's gaze.

Ning Rongrong heard Chen Xin's words but didn't say anything. She just threw herself into Chen Xin's arms and cried loudly, as if she wanted to tell him all the grievances she had suffered in the past few days.

This sight made Chen Xin, who usually doted on him, feel even more heartbroken. A surge of anger followed, and his sharp aura made everyone present turn pale.

Qin Ming glanced at Shi Quan, then at Ning Rongrong and the white-robed elder. Considering their conversation, he gritted his teeth, stepped forward, bowed, and cautiously asked, "Senior, are you Sword Douluo His Majesty?"

"Hmph, you know that but you still won't confess honestly." Chen Xin's sharp gaze fell on Qin Ming, and the unique aura of a Title Douluo spread out, causing Qin Ming's face to turn deathly pale.

Shi Quan stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Shi Quan greets Your Majesty Sword Douluo."

Upon hearing Shi Quan's voice, Sword Douluo's gaze involuntarily fell upon Shi Quan.

In the blink of an eye, Shi Quan felt as if Sword Douluo had seen through everything about him.

"Grandpa Sword, he's the one who bullied me! He even whipped me with Blue Silver Grass!" Ning Rongrong sobbed as she spoke, looking pitiful and heartbreaking.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xin gently patted Ning Rongrong's back and softly comforted her, "It's alright, Grandpa is here, so no one will dare to bully you."

The gentle voice faded into a cold, sharp tone the next second: "Feng Zhi entrusted Rongrong to you to teach her, not for you to bully. You actually dared to use your martial spirit to hit Rongrong! Do you really think you're so arrogant just because you're a genius?"

Everyone's expressions tightened. How could they not understand Ning Rongrong's identity? She called Sword Douluo "Grandpa" and her surname was Ning. It was obvious that Ning Rongrong was the only daughter of Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

With such a background, how dare Shi Quan bully Ning Rongrong? And he even dared to use his martial soul to slap her! Isn't that just courting death?

Shi Quan smiled wryly and quickly said, "Your Majesty, this is a misunderstanding. I was just instructing her. I can explain. I can assure you that everything I did was in accordance with Uncle Ning's instructions, and I never overstepped my bounds, much less bully Rongrong..."

"A misunderstanding?" Before Shi Quan could finish speaking, Sword Douluo interrupted with a cold laugh, saying calmly, "I will naturally ask Feng Zhi about this matter. Since you call this teaching, then today I, as an elder, will give you a proper lesson!"

"..." Shi Quan felt a chill in his heart, knowing that he was in for a beating. He had to admit defeat when necessary, and said flatteringly, "Your Majesty is a titled Douluo, what an extraordinary person you are. It is my blessing to be able to receive Your Majesty's guidance."

"..." Chen Xin.

hiss……

I have to admit, this kid is really good at talking.

"Hmph, don't think I'll hold back just because you say a few nice words." Chen Xin looked at Shi Quan coldly. "Speak with your own abilities. Your soul power is level 22, and I will also suppress my soul power to level 22. How much you can learn depends on your own abilities."

"Twenty-two? Are you kidding me?" Shi Quan's eyes widened.

That old Sword Douluo, Bi Deng, is truly shameless. I've already praised him so much, and he still insists on using his soul power!

The Seven Kill Sword, having absorbed nine spirit rings, is something a single spirit master like him couldn't withstand even without using spirit power. Yet now he's being told he needs to use level twenty-two spirit power.

Isn't this just blatantly trying to beat yourself to death?

"Thank you for your magnanimity, senior. You truly live up to your reputation as a Sword Douluo with a strong sense of justice and integrity," Shi Quan said through gritted teeth.

Even with Sword Douluo's thick skin, Shi Quan's public display of arrogance made him look somewhat smug.

But when he thought of Ning Rongrong's aggrieved look, he decided to teach Shi Quan a lesson.

Upon hearing that Sword Douluo would not only use his Martial Soul but also his Soul Power, Ning Rongrong immediately became conflicted. Recalling what Shi Quan had said, she gritted her teeth and said, "Grandpa Sword, won't you kill him like this? Or... should we just forget about it?"

Ning Rongrong's feelings towards Shi Quan were actually very complicated. On one hand, she had decided to surpass him with her own abilities and did not want to become what Shi Quan called him. On the other hand, she felt that she had indeed been wronged in the past few days. Facing the person she loved most, all the grievances in her heart burst out uncontrollably.

Sword Douluo's eyes widened, and he looked awkwardly at Ning Rongrong in his arms, then at the crowd around him. He had already disregarded his reputation and was ready to teach Shi Quan a lesson, but just when things were about to start, Ning Rongrong said to forget it. Wouldn't that make him, a Title Douluo, a laughing stock?

Looking at Sword Douluo's unpredictable expression, Shi Quan said helplessly, "Rongrong, no need. It is my honor to receive Your Majesty's guidance."

"This kid is indeed quite good." Chen Xin looked at Shi Quan.

With the platform down, Chen Xin's mood improved somewhat. Originally, he couldn't stand Shi Quan no matter what he did, but now he felt a little better and thought that he could be a little gentler when he made his move later.

Chen Xin said arrogantly, "Since that's the case, for Rongrong's sake, I won't use my soul power. You just need to hold on to me for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

"Shi Quan is incredibly bold!"

Yu Tianheng and the others all gave Shi Quan a thumbs up in their hearts. Ning Rongrong had already spoken up for him, yet he still dared to ask Chen Xin for guidance.

Chen Xin gently placed Ning Rongrong aside and said softly, "Rongrong, wait here for a moment. Grandpa will teach this brat a lesson for you. Don't worry, Grandpa will only make him suffer a little and won't do anything to him."

After calming Ning Rongrong down, Chen Xin stepped forward and said calmly, "Use all the moves you can. I'm curious to see how long you can last."

"I would be grateful for your guidance, senior." Shi Quan focused his gaze on Chen Xin, took a deep breath, and summoned his martial soul, Blue Silver Grass. His power slowly gathered, but his eyes held a hint of excitement. Being able to fight Chen Xin, one of the strongest people on the continent, Shi Quan wanted to see just how strong he was now.

Chen Xin smiled faintly, flicked his wrist, and a thin incense stick appeared in his hand. He gently crushed it with his fingers, and the incense stick lit up.

Just as Xi Xiang landed, Shi Quan's first spirit ring suddenly lit up, and a large amount of Blue Silver Grass rapidly grew towards Chen Xin's direction.

He raised his right hand, clenched it, and a slender blue-silver vine whip landed in Shi Quan's hand. Then, his arm moved like a snake emerging from its hole, and the blue-silver grass in his hand immediately brought a gust of wind and lashed out at Chen Xin.

Sensing the movement of the air around him, Chen Xin was startled. His attention was mostly focused on the vines that were spreading towards him, but he didn't expect that a strong and powerful vine whip would suddenly fly out from the vines.

Faced with the sudden vine whip, Chen Xin reacted quickly, raising his index and middle fingers to form a sword. There was no soul power fluctuation emanating from his body, but his fingers were like an incomparably sharp longsword. With a simple slash, the blue silver vine was severed.

"Sword Qi?" Shi Quan's expression remained unchanged. He used the Nine Shadows Shift technique to quickly retreat while continuing to wield the Blue Silver Vine Whip with the White Python Whip Technique. The sharp and powerful vine whip turned into afterimages and kept lashing towards Chen Xin.

Even if the vine whip is severed by Chen Xin, it will quickly grow back and continue to lash at him.

"This whip technique is quite interesting."

Chen Xin was slightly surprised. Looking at the approaching Blue Silver Grass, he pointed his sword at the whip while simultaneously unleashing sharp sword energy from his body. In an instant, all the Blue Silver Grass was severed inch by inch.

The White Python Whip Technique is recorded in the Nine Yin and Nine Yang Manual, so it must have its merits. This White Python Whip Technique is relatively easy to learn and master quickly. With the addition of divine skills, as Shi Quan's strength increases, the speed at which he can learn various basic martial arts also increases day by day. Even though Shi Quan rarely uses the White Python Whip Technique on a daily basis, when he does use it, its power is by no means weak.

"This won't stop me." After a quick encounter, Chen Xin roughly grasped the power of Shi Quan's White Python Whip Technique. His sword aura was imposing as he strode towards Shi Quan.

The Blue Silver Grass that grows from the stone cannot stop Chen Xin in the slightest.

Seeing Chen Xin rushing towards him, Shi Quan remained calm and unleashed another move, "White Snake Emerges from Cave," his vine whip lashing out like a venomous snake towards Chen Xin's chest.

Chen Xin pointed his sword finger straight out, directly at Shi Quan's vine whip. At the same time, Shi Quan's second soul ring lit up, and the vine whip that shot out immediately emitted a burst of dark light. Chen Xin almost subconsciously turned his sword finger into a palm.

With his fingers pointing like knives and his right palm flipped up, the air seemed to be torn apart, and white air currents rolled out from his palm. In that instant, it was as if a huge sword was blocking his way.

Decades of rich combat experience allowed him to sense the intensity of an opponent's attack from the slightest clues. How could someone skilled in attack possibly ignore an opponent's attack?
