I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 266 Sword Test
Ning Fengzhi did not intend to pursue the matter further, and Tang San, under pressure from Sword Douluo's power, apologized politely. Yu Xiaogang even almost slapped himself in the face. Only then was the matter dropped.

This unusual scene left Xiao Wuji completely stunned. Had Sword Douluo's sword become dull? Why was he letting Yu Xiaogang go so easily? It didn't make sense, it made no sense at all!

No matter how unreasonable it was, he couldn't possibly run up to Ning Fengzhi and question him.

Raising his head, he stared directly at the sun with his remaining eye, activating the Yin-Yang Heavenly Eye to pluck a wisp of Yang essence from the dazzling sunlight. Combined with the moonlight essence he had gathered the previous night, the contrast of Yin and Yang's coldness and heat tempered his eyes.

He can also absorb the creative energy generated by the interaction of Yin and Yang to enhance his soul.

The results of a single cultivation session are enough to equal the effect of increasing his soul power by one level. Of course, this level refers to his current level, but even so, the effect is terrifying. In just a few years, he will be able to push his soul strength to the level of a Title Douluo.

After refining the Yang essence and moonlight, Xiao Wuji extracted a strand of Yang essence and stored it in his eyes. He would then extract a strand of moonlight to refine at night. Although this would cause some discomfort in his eyes, it would allow him to practice the Yin-Yang Heavenly Eye once more each day.

After doing all this, Xiao Wuji jumped off the roof and landed steadily on the ground. Dugu Yan, who had been waiting downstairs, pushed her wheelchair to Xiao Wuji's side.

"Let's go back to the dorm!"

As expected, someone was already waiting for him in front of the dormitory.

"Brother, you're finally back! I thought I'd have to wait until tonight!"

Xue Qinghe stepped forward, leaving the crowd behind, and greeted Xiao Wuji with ease.

"Brother Xue, who are these people?" Xiao Wuji asked, feigning ignorance.

"Let me introduce you. This is the current sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and also my teacher!"

"This one..."

"This one must be the famous Sword Douluo, right?"

Xiao Wuji picked up the conversation, his eyes shining as he looked over, showing great interest in Sword Douluo's Seven Kill Sword Technique.

On the entire continent, only the Clear Sky Hammer and the Seven Kill Sword are known for their self-created soul skills. Now that they have finally met, they naturally want to have a friendly spar.

"I've long heard of the Seven Kill Sword Technique, but after just one look, it seems to be somewhat overrated!"

"When did swordsmen become so timid and hesitant?"

Xue Qinghe feigned a look of fear and dissuaded him, saying, "Wuji, watch your words! Senior Jian is a master of swordsmanship; how dare you interfere!"

Turning his head, Xue Qinghe bowed apologetically to Sword Douluo and said, "Senior Sword, Wuji was talking nonsense. I hope you won't take it to heart!"

However, Xue Qinghe was unaware that once the masters locked eyes, there was no room for anyone else to interrupt.

Sword Douluo completely ignored Xue Qinghe, his sharp eyes scrutinizing Xiao Wuji from head to toe. He frowned and said, "You say my sword is no good? Then where is your sword?"

Xiao Wuji's lips curled into a smile, and he said confidently, "The sword resides in my heart!"

"Very well!" Sword Douluo raised his eyes slightly and said, "Then let me see the sword in your heart!"

"Senior Sword!"

Xue Qinghe tried to dissuade him, but Xiao Wuji didn't give her a chance. He raised his hand and placed it on her chest, using a gentle force to send her away.

He summoned his martial spirit, and the abundant dodder vines intertwined, eventually forming a golden armor on his body.

He moved his armored right arm and left leg, and then conjured a golden longsword in his left hand.

"please!"

Looking at Xiao Wuji in front of him, Chen Xin did not take it lightly and summoned his martial spirit, because he could feel the sharp edge on this young man's body.

Moreover, since Ning Rongrong said that he was a divine child with extremely strong talent, he naturally had to verify it!
Xiao Wuji twirled his sword, the tip pointing diagonally at Sword Douluo.

The next moment, both of them moved at the same time!

The figure vanished suddenly, then abruptly stopped!

Ning Fengzhi stared intently and saw that the two men were leaning forward with their arms outstretched, the tips of their swords touching, not veering away even slightly. Even as Xiao Wuji's sword began to bend, he did not retract his arm in the slightest.

Xue Qinghe also gasped after seeing it clearly.

However, what the two were unaware of was that this seemingly extremely dangerous scene was actually just a test between them, using only basic sword techniques—thrust! "Not bad!" Chen Xin commented calmly. In his view, only by achieving this level would they be qualified to continue using their swords.

"There's something even better!"

Xiao Wuji flicked his wrist, and the two of them simultaneously took a half step back, then swung their swords at each other to kill.

The Seven Kill Sword is fierce, sharp, and indestructible, while Xiao Wuji's sword is a perfect blend of strength and gentleness, seemingly real yet illusory.

In fact, Xiao Wuji also knew a similar fierce and unparalleled sword technique, but his sword could not withstand the devastation of the Seven Kill Sword. That's why he chose a more varied sword style.

The sword techniques he used were not a fixed style. One move was the Holy King Sword Technique, and the next it became the Water-Avoiding Sword Technique. Xiao Wuji achieved a perfect connection between different styles of sword techniques.

The longsword that the dodder in his hand had transformed into was flexible and adaptable to any change.

Unlike Xiao Wuji's unrestrained and carefree attitude, Chen Xin felt immense pressure. He was completely suppressed in swordsmanship. If it weren't for the fact that his Seven Kill Sword was relatively thick and could be used as a shield, his body would probably be covered in wounds by now.
Gradually, Chen Xin began to stop restricting his physical strength and soul power, so that he could gradually regain one-tenth of his strength. Although this went against his original intention, he still wanted to fully display his Seven Kill Sword Technique.

"kill!"

With a roar, Chen Xin used the Seven Kill Sword in his hand to knock back the long sword in Xiao Wuji's hand, and then quickly left six sword energies in front of him, forming a large character for "kill".

"break!"

Before the word "kill" was about to strike, Xiao Wuji pointed his sword at the empty space outside the six sword energies. Although there were no sword energies there, it was the intersection where the six sword energies were mutually attracted and maintained.

With a single thrust of his sword, the air exploded, and the six sword energies instantly became chaotic, scattering and falling towards the empty space around Xiao Wuji.

"I lost!"

Chen Xin decisively sheathed his sword. Even though he could write more "kill" characters, it would require far more power. Given his current suppressed soul power at the Soul King level, writing even one "kill" character was already his limit!

"The Seven Kill Sword Technique, but I didn't sense any killing intent in it. If you have the chance, you should still go to the City of Slaughter!"

"While the Killing God Domain isn't particularly useful, it can help you better control your killing intent!"

"And next time, I'll force you to use your full strength!"

After saying that, Xiao Wuji also put away his martial spirit, and Dugu Yan, with her keen insight, pushed her wheelchair forward.

Sitting back in his wheelchair, Xiao Wuji's forehead was covered in fine sweat. Although the fight had only lasted a short while and his physical strength had not been greatly depleted, his mental energy had been severely strained.

After all, it's not easy to see through Sword Douluo's sword moves.

"Tell me, what do you want from me? I'll consider it carefully for the sake of this battle!"

Xiao Wuji spoke very casually, and even thought it would be even better if he could have a cigarette at this moment!

Sword Douluo walked back behind Ning Fengzhi, head bowed in thought, it was unclear what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi smiled and stepped forward. Originally, he had doubts about the so-called talent of this divine child, but now he had no doubts at all.

According to intelligence, Xiao Wuji's earliest weapon was a long spear made of bamboo, and his earliest recorded use of a sword was a few days ago when he fought Tang San.

In other words, he surpassed Sword Douluo in swordsmanship from scratch in just a few days. No wonder even the gods would envy such talent. This further solidified his stance of serving the emperor.

"Young friend Xiao!"

Ning Fengzhi showed Xiao Wuji so much respect that he seemed almost too "respectful," which made Xue Qinghe, who was standing to the side, feel puzzled.

“Rongrong broke through level 30 yesterday. I originally planned to ask you to help Rongrong obtain a third spirit ring that exceeds the age limit.”

"But now, I hope you can teach my daughter properly."

"That's it..."

Xiao Wuji pondered for a moment, then said bluntly, "In that case, let her join my team. I've been worrying about finding teammates anyway!"

"I really don't understand why the Soul Master Competition has to be a team of seven!"
