Douluo: Subversion Begins with the Arrival of the Traveler

Chapter 23: Edgeless Sword
"Ah! Traveler, how scary!"

Countless sword shadows rushed over, and Kong's slightly thin figure was like a small boat in the raging waves, as if it would be swallowed up in the next moment.

Little Paimon behind him opened his eyes wide, and subconsciously grabbed his clothes with more force.

Facing the rain of swords, the elemental crystal pendant on Kong's clothes lit up amber, and the edgeless sword was held across his body. A barrier was erected, and the sound of clinking continued to collide, and all the sword rain in the sky was blocked.

There was a lot of thunder but little rain. After the terrifying soul skill, Kong and the other two under the barrier were still safe and sound.

"Who is this young man? How could he be unscathed by Jian Douluo's powerful spirit skills?!"

"Am I seeing things? Why do I feel like Jian Douluo's attack has no effect at all?"

"How is this possible? Did Jian Douluo let it go on purpose?"

"Jian Douluo's spirit skills are too terrifying. Look, the rest of the auction table has been smashed into pieces..."

There was an uproar in the room, and the conversation kept reaching Chen Xin's ears, and his old face turned red and white.

"The seventh soul skill: Martial Soul True Body!"

Chen Xin shouted loudly, and a huge Seven Killing Sword stood proudly behind him.

Even though he had already overestimated the young man below, he was still shocked by how easily he broke through the soul skill.

The arrow is on the string and must be shot. If he can't even beat this young boy, then the name of Sword Douluo will probably become a laughing stock in the near future!

So he really needs strength now, the strength to turn the young man and the people behind him into dust!
"break!"

With a loud shout, Chen Xin pinched his sword fingers, and the huge Seven Killing Sword behind him tilted its blade, gathering panic and power as it slashed down towards Kong.

Kong raised his sword to respond, and the sound of metal clashing resounded throughout the auction house, and everyone quickly covered their ears.

"Let's end it." Kong said calmly, and with a strong push, he shook the Seven Killing Sword backwards, and then slashed the sword across. With a clang, the huge blade of the Seven Killing Sword shattered like a building block.

"puff……!"

The sword shattered, and Chen Xin, who was hanging in the air, suffered a huge backlash. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was about to fall to the ground. Ning Fengzhi hurried over to catch him, and at the same time used his soul power to heal Chen Xin.

"Master, I, I'm fine..."

Chen Xin struggled to stand up, looking at the sky opposite with horror.

"Sir, I lost this fight..."

He was arrogant, and had reason to be. However, in the face of stronger opponents, he readily accepted the fact of defeat.

Chen Xin's voice echoed in the spacious auction house. In the originally noisy auction house, you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone in the arena was stunned by what was happening before their eyes. They witnessed a top-five Titled Douluo on the continent being defeated by a mysterious and unknown young man.

"Sir, may I ask what weapon you hold? It can actually cut through the true body of the spirit..."

Chen Xin kept coughing while being supported by Ning Fengzhi, but his eyes were always on the sword in Kong's hand.

As the person involved, he clearly felt the sharpness of the sword in Kong's hand. It was a power that could break through everything. He had never understood such a powerful sword intent.

"It? It's called the Edgeless Sword."

Kong casually made a sword flower. This long sword picked up in Teyvat was particularly easy to use.

"Sword without a blade? A sword without a blade, a sword without a blade..."

Chen Xin kept muttering to himself, and his doubts grew even more intense.

As the number one sword martial spirit, his obsession with the sword even surpasses everything else in the world.

He pursued the ultimate sharpness of the sword, but despite his immense talent, he had never grasped the true meaning of the sword. This was why he joined the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, leveraging the amplification power of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, attempting to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship, like catching the moon in water or observing flowers in a mirror.

But the edgeless sword that Kong mentioned is sharper than his martial spirit, which is the second best weapon in the world!
He really couldn't figure it out, so he looked at Sora again and asked with a complicated expression:
"Why do you call it the Edgeless Sword? It clearly has the power to break through anything!"

The young man in front of him not only brought him overwhelming combat power, but also gave him a strong premonition.

Whether his sword power can break through to a higher level, perhaps the opportunity lies in this thin young man.

"It doesn't have an edge to begin with. Calling it the Edgeless Sword is quite appropriate. The power you feel doesn't come from its own edge."

Kong glanced at Chen Xin and said calmly:

"If the dreams of youth and the excitement of embarking on a journey aren't sharp enough, then fill them with courage... This is the true edge of the edgeless sword."

"Is that so..."

Kong's words exploded in Chen Xin's mind.

The ultimate sword skill that he had been pursuing but could not achieve was revealed by the young man here.

"It turns out that the ultimate power of a sword lies not in the sword itself, but in the person wielding it! Hahahaha..."

Chen Xin's mind was clear, and his body, which was originally seriously injured due to the shattering of his martial soul, stood up like a sharp sword.

He was filled with sword energy, but it was no longer as sharp as before. Instead, it flowed around him like a clear spring.

He raised his hand, and the originally broken martial soul Seven Killing Sword was hanging on it intact.

Buzz~.

The Seven Killing Sword vibrated, and the sword intent around Chen Xin was affected. His momentum suddenly exploded, and a sharp edge even sharper than before spread out from him. Ning Fengzhi, who was closest to him, had to summon his martial soul to resist.

"Uncle Jian, you, you broke through?!"

Ning Fengzhi felt the sword intent on Chen Xin's body and said in horror.

After cultivating soul power to the level of Titled Douluo, each level of advancement is extremely difficult. Especially above level 95, the gap between each level is like a chasm.

Chen Xin had been immersed in the 96th level for a long time, but he didn't expect to break through to the 97th level in one day!

Ning Fengzhi smiled.

Chen Xin’s breakthrough not only represents him personally, but also represents the future of the entire Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

With Chen Xin's breakthrough this time, not only will the ranking of his Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect among the top three sects become more stable, but even the seating order will have to be rearranged!
"Congratulations, Uncle Jian, for advancing! This time, we'll definitely be able to defeat that guy!"

Compared to Chen Xin's calm face, Ning Fengzhi was smiling happily. A level 96 Sword Douluo couldn't beat you, so what if he was level 97?

"Thank you for clearing up my confusion. I am truly ashamed of what happened before!"

Chen Xin did not respond to Ning Fengzhi, but put away his martial spirit and bowed deeply in the direction of Kong.

"Uncle Jian, you..."

Ning Fengzhi was very surprised to see that Chen Xin had lost all his fighting spirit after advancing, and even bowed and apologized to Kong who wanted to suppress him.

"Alas... Feng Zhi, can't you see clearly? In front of that person, you and I are nothing but ants."

Chen Xin waved his hand. Before the breakthrough, he saw nothing, like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky. After the breakthrough, he looked again and felt like a mayfly seeing the blue sky.
