Triggering a treasure chest in Douluo Continent

Chapter 51 The Healing Power of the Nine-Heart Begonia

"This is... swordsmanship?" Chen Xin was greatly surprised. In the two simple exchanges, Chen Xin could tell at a glance that Shi Quan's use of the longsword was still somewhat unfamiliar, and it was clear that he rarely used a sword. However, Shi Quan's use of the longsword was a different story. Although it was somewhat stiff, it contained a special charm.

Seeing this, Chen Xin's curiosity was further piqued, and his wooden sword attacks gradually became more and more fierce.

Faced with Chen Xin's decisive and ruthless offensive, if it weren't for Xiao Meng's presence, he would probably have already lost his mind and been defeated. However, with his tenacious mental strength and the increasingly fierce internal energy in his body, his proficiency with the Qingfeng Sword Technique in his mind increased at a visible speed.

To onlookers, Shi Quan, wielding the Blue Silver Vine Sword, was constantly being overwhelmed by Chen Xin, but for some reason, Chen Xin did not end the fight.

During the battle, Chen Xin became increasingly alarmed. As the saying goes, the layman watches the show, the expert watches the details.

Chen Xin could clearly feel that Shi Quan's swordsmanship was rapidly improving, becoming more elegant and agile. Moreover, there was a special force hidden in this swordsmanship, which could even deflect some of his sharp sword intent. In addition, Shi Quan's agile and swift figure was also a factor.

"This kid is really bold, daring to use me as a whetstone." Chen Xin laughed angrily, his gaze sharpening for the first time, and his aura changing once again.

This time, Chen Xin was truly serious.

An immense pressure, like that of a towering mountain, emanated from the Dust Heart Wooden Sword. With each impact, Shi Quan's face paled.

"Ah Quan, this is murderous intent. Be careful," Xiao Meng's voice reminded him in his mind.

"Killing intent?" Shi Quan thought to himself, "No wonder."

The chilling aura emanating from Chen Xin is likely due to the killing intent within the Seven Kill Sword Technique. Chen Xin is only just getting serious, and Shi Quan is already struggling to withstand it. If he were to truly use the Seven Kill Sword Technique, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand even one move. And this is just the sword technique alone; if he were to add his soul power and martial soul, Shi Quan simply couldn't imagine how miserable his fate would be.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "If I were to spar with him using level 22 soul power, I'd probably crush him to the ground and grind him into the dust."

As the swordplay clashed, Xi Xiang's performance also drew to a close.

Everyone present was focused on the two fighting, and no one paid any attention to Xi Xiang on the side. If others didn't notice, how could Chen Xin, as the initiator, not notice? Time was almost up.

Looking at Shi Quan before him, Chen Xin's sword intent reached its peak, and the wooden sword in his hand was imbued with refined sword intent.

"Seven Kill Sword Technique - First Kill!"

With a slight movement of his wrist, Chen Xin deftly pointed the sword tip forward, piercing the tip of the Blue Silver Vine Sword.

Buzz—

A trembling hum came from the wooden sword and the blue silver vine sword.

Shi Quan's face turned pale instantly. A violent force emanated from the Blue Silver Vine Sword and invaded his body almost instantly. The immense power carried a terrifying killing intent. In an instant, Shi Quan seemed to have been struck by something heavy and was sent flying backward.

The Blue Silver Vine Sword in his hand was pierced directly by an ordinary wooden sword and then broke into several pieces.

The sharp sword intent surged through his body. Even with his divine internal energy pushed to its limit, his blood and qi still churned, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Grandpa Sword, that's enough!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed as she stood up and ran towards Chen Xin.

Seeing this, Qin Ming and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Ning Rongrong didn't speak, and they didn't dare to say anything either. After all, the person in front of them was one of the strongest Sword Douluo on the continent. How could they possibly say anything?

Shi Quan supported himself on the ground with one hand, his face pale, his clothes stained with blood and covered in sword marks, making him look exceptionally miserable.

He lay on the ground without getting up. He knew when to show weakness; if he stood up again, he would probably suffer another beating.

Chen Xin was incredibly powerful. Although he had just used the first move of the Seven Kill Sword Technique, he had held back. How could he not see that although Shi Quan looked miserable, his actual injuries were not serious?

Seeing that Shi Quan did not get up, Chen Xin glanced at Shi Quan, then picked up Ning Rongrong in her arms again and said softly, "Since our Rongrong has spoken up, then Grandpa Jian will let this kid off the hook for today. If this kid dares to bully you again, you tell Grandpa Jian, and next time Grandpa Jian will give him a good beating."

"Thank you, Grandpa Jian." Ning Rongrong glanced at Shi Quan before nestling into Chen Xin's arms with relief.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior." Shi Quan glanced at the incense sticks that were almost burned out and thought to himself, "That old fellow Chen Xin must have used the Seven Kill Sword Technique, otherwise the power of this last sword could not have been so strong."

"Hmph!" Chen Xin snorted coldly, looking at Shi Quan and saying, "Get up, stop pretending. Don't I know how hard I hit you?"

Shi Quan then gave an embarrassed smile, clutched his chest, and slowly stood up, saying flatteringly, "I must thank you for showing mercy, senior."

Chen Xin rolled her eyes at Shi Quan and asked, "Did you create the sword technique you just used?"

"What you just said was merely a spontaneous remark made while observing the wind, and it can hardly be called swordsmanship," Shi Quan said.

"Guanfeng?" Chen Xin looked at Shi Quan with a complicated expression, and shook his head, saying, "With your comprehension, if your martial soul were a sword, I would definitely take you as my disciple. It's just a pity that your martial soul is Blue Silver Grass."

Upon hearing this, everyone stared wide-eyed at Shi Quan.

One lesson actually made Chen Xin consider taking on a disciple. Just how strong was the swordsmanship that Shi Quan had just revealed?

"Rongrong, your father won't let me take you back. This Shi Quan is indeed quite capable. You should train with him first. But don't worry, Grandpa will come to see you every now and then. If anyone dares to bully you, just tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will help you get revenge."

The following words were clearly meant for everyone present to hear.

Everyone secretly thought to themselves, "With your grandfather around, who in this academy would dare to bully her?"

Chen Xin comforted and gave Ning Rongrong some more instructions, then glanced around at everyone before flying away on his sword.

Seeing Chen Xin leave, Qin Ming hurriedly said, "Lingling, quickly treat Shi Quan."

Ye Lingling then summoned her martial soul, the Nine-Hearted Begonia. The scattered white light transformed into petals, slowly merging into Shi Quan's body.

Shi Quan immediately felt a warm energy flow into his body, and his injuries began to heal rapidly with the help of this energy.

The injuries on his arms healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As expected of the Nine-Heart Begonia, its healing ability is truly outstanding. No wonder with the Nine-Heart Begonia around, it's hard to die even if you want to.

As Shi Quan thought to himself, his pale face gradually regained its color under the healing of the Nine-Heart Begonia.

"Thanks, Lingling."

"Need not."

Ye Lingling's voice was cold and detached, with a touch of ethereal charm.

"Hmph, serves you right for daring to bully me! Now you know you're scared, huh?" Ning Rongrong's arrogant voice replied once again.

Hearing Ning Rongrong's voice, Shi Quan couldn't help but shake his head.

What a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School! This Sword Douluo has been in a high position for too long. He clearly needs my help, but he doesn't even ask clearly before attacking. If I weren't currently unable to defeat him, I would have beaten him back and turned my back on him.

Given his status, sending Ning Rongrong back after the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had taken the initiative to show goodwill would undoubtedly be a slap in the face to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and such an action would certainly offend the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Seeing Ning Rongrong, Shi Quan could only hold back and retorted indifferently, "I'm afraid of Senior Sword Douluo, not you. If you have the ability, don't rely on the sect, but rely on your own ability to make others recognize you and fear you."

"Hmph." Ning Rongrong snorted coldly, "Don't think you're so great just because you have Grandpa Jian's approval. One day I will be able to surpass you with my own abilities and gain everyone's approval."

"Then I look forward to that day." Shi Quan smiled, looked Ning Rongrong up and down, and thought to himself, "It seems that my words yesterday had some effect."

"Xiao Quan, you're pretty good, kid." Yu Tianheng stepped forward and put his arm around Shi Quan's shoulder.

Although Yu Tianheng was arrogant, once he gained their approval, their attitude towards him would be a completely different matter.

Yu Feng and the others also joined in, chattering away, and the group quickly became lively.

After chatting for a while, we returned to training.

The Heaven Dou Team's training used to consist of morning intensive training sessions, including instruction on battle spirit, explanations of advanced knowledge about soul masters and soul beasts, and afternoons mostly dedicated to individual practice, such as practicing soul skills and martial spirits. Any questions could be directed to the instructors for consultation. Evenings, following the tradition of the soul master world, were for cultivating soul power.

Because of Shi Quan's new theory of limit spirit rings, Tian Dou Academy began to emphasize physical fitness training, increasing physical training sessions both in the morning and afternoon.

For the afternoon's individual practice, Shi Quan also began to make detailed plans for the six of them.

The original individual training time relied on the individual, a theory somewhat similar to Shrek Academy. However, in Shi Quan's view, this kind of individual-based approach was not suitable for the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Because these genius nobles don't have a precise understanding of "diligent cultivation." In their eyes, perhaps running until their legs ache and they're tired, and then diligently cultivating for a few more hours at night, is considered diligent cultivation.

Moreover, this is only when you are in a good mood. If you are in a bad mood and have no interest in training, the intensity of your training will be greatly reduced.

In this way, the intensity is already low, and it is further increased and decreased on this already low basis, so the training effect is naturally not ideal.

Not to mention challenging physical limits or training willpower.

Besides the protagonist's halo, this is also one of the main reasons why the seven members of the Heaven Dou Team, despite having a significant lead in soul power level, still lost to the Shrek Team.

Since the three education committees have asked him to participate in the training plan of the Tiandou team, he should naturally take this opportunity to plan it well and help the Tiandou team improve its combat power. When they arrive in Soto City, he should give the Shrek Seven Devils a good beating.
