Douluo Continent: I, the world's greatest immortal master, have taken Ning Rongrong as my disci

Chapter 73 Tai Chi Dissolves the Seven Killings Sword Qi; The Master's Arrangement
"Who do you think has the better swordsmanship, the teacher or Rongrong's grandfather?"

"You actually have such doubts? You have the makings of a traitor. I absolutely believe that Teacher Su Ran can win!"

"Rongrong, is your Grandpa Sword a Title Douluo? What is his exact cultivation level?"

"Grandpa Sword is a Super Douluo of level 95 or higher!"

"what?!"

Tian Dou City, Peach Garden Villa.

The surrounding students were forced back into the house by the sword energy. Some of the seven students hid behind the white jade pillar to peek, while others lay on the sofa and chairs. However, they were all shocked by the sword energy emanating from Su Ran and Chen Xin. When they heard that Ning Rongrong's grandfather was a Super Douluo of level 95 or above, they were even more astonished.

Teacher, I want to compete in swordsmanship with a super strong player who is level 95 or above!

"Wang Sheng, the teacher is going to have a sword fight with a Super Douluo, what are you doing? What are you secretly eating?"

Just then, Xiao Wu and the others noticed that the burly Wang Sheng was stuffing something into his mouth with great interest. They watched him intently and ate it with gusto. Only when someone called him did he turn around sheepishly and say with a smile:
"Would you like some sunflower seeds and peanuts?"

"It's going to be amazing to see the teacher and a Super Douluo spar for the first time. I can't contain my excitement without eating something."

"What the heck! Wang Sheng, are you watching a show? You're usually so well-behaved, I never expected you to care about your teacher so little!"

Wang Sheng's manner of cracking sunflower seeds resembled that of a gossipy uncle at the village entrance, so he quickly explained:

"No, no, no, it's not what you're saying. Of course I believe in the teacher's swordsmanship. The teacher's sword is not afraid of even a heavy hammer, so how could it be afraid of a sword? I'm just afraid that I won't be able to help but shout out for the teacher's heroic figure."

"right."

"I didn't expect that Brother Wang Sheng, who usually seems a bit slow, actually has some brains!"

Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran recalled their teacher's previous match against the Haotian Hammer, and felt much more at ease.

"That's not necessarily true. Grandpa Jian's sword is different from others. Grandpa Jian is definitely better than that smelly black hammer."

Ning Rongrong was unhappy about this.

"So, Rongrong, do you want your teacher to win or your Grandpa Jian to win?"

"Of course I want the teacher to win, but I don't want Grandpa Jian to lose badly..."

Ning Rongrong muttered to herself, one is her beloved teacher, and the other is her loving grandfather Jian. Of course, she hopes that both of them can be well.

But...sigh, Grandpa Sword is great in every way, but he's a sword fanatic, which is a real headache...

"Old Swordsman, don't cry if you lose."

"Hey little guy, come on, give me a handful of sunflower seeds too."

Gu Rong stretched out his large hands in front of Wang Sheng, as he also enjoyed the atmosphere of watching the fun.

"Senior, here it is."

Wang Sheng shared most of the melon seeds and peanuts with Gu Rong, and the group of people happily became onlookers.

Chen Xin turned around and glared at Gu Rong with annoyance:
"You deadbeat, wait until I finish my sword fight with Dean Su, then we'll have a one-on-one duel when we get back."

"One-on-one it is, who's afraid of who?"

"Humph!"

Chen Xin snorted coldly, a wooden sword flashed through the air, and he turned to look at Su Ran:

"Dean Su, I have dedicated my life to the study of swordsmanship. People call me Sword Master Chenxin. My martial spirit is called Seven Kill Sword. Its sword energy is all about killing and its sharpness is unparalleled. You must be careful."

The peach blossom branch in Su Ran's hand was not his martial spirit, but rather something broken off from an ordinary peach tree. A sword aura flowed naturally from it as he calmly said:
"Sword Douluo, rest assured. Although my martial soul, Peach Blossom Branch, is not a pure sword martial soul, I have also practiced several sword techniques. Since Sword Douluo is so sharp, I will meet you with Tai Chi sword techniques."

"it is good."

Without another word, Chen Xin pierced through the air with his sword and disappeared.

Only saw:

Two figures in white robes are silhouetted against the twilight, the setting sun casting its light upon their shadows.

The azure sky trembles with a long, resounding sound; the Seven Killers pierce through the mist like wild geese.

People are like shooting stars chasing the vast universe, their bodies like free cranes soaring through the clouds.

A cold light swirls around the trembling peach branches, and the sword intent soars and unfolds with unrestrained elegance!

"Hang up the sword."

"Lift the sword."

"Cloud Sword!"

"The teacher used Tai Chi. It turns out that the essence of Tai Chi is even more effective when applied to swordsmanship!"

Seeing the swordsmanship displayed by Teacher Su Ran, Xiao Wu could feel the resonance with her own fist techniques, and unconsciously she also began to practice Tai Chi.

The Tai Chi sword and Tai Chi fist share the same origin, both using the opponent's force against them, deflecting a thousand pounds with four ounces of force. It's as if an invisible wall of energy has formed around the body, deflecting Chen Xin's sharp sword one by one.

Gu Rong paused for a moment, then looked at Xiao Wu and said:

"This swordsmanship actually has a corresponding fist technique? That's really strange. Swords and fists are two different forms of attack, yet they can be practiced together?"

Xiao Wu nodded: "Yes, it's possible! The teacher said that the form may be different, but the intention and spirit can be the same!"

"Interesting. It's been a long time since I've seen anyone who can fight this old swordsman to a standstill in swordsmanship. No, you could say the old swordsman is at a disadvantage!" Gu Rong looked at the two swordsmen fighting on the lawn. Although Chen Xin was on the offensive, Su Ran skillfully defused every attack he made.

The Seven Kill Sword Qi, which even made his bones ache, seemed to be dissolved by an invisible force under Su Ran's peach blossom branch, and the sword qi could not get close to Su Ran at all.

Tai Chi swordplay does not emphasize specific moves, but rather focuses on understanding its essence and meaning. Once mastered, even a hundred swords cannot get close to the user.

"This sword technique is indeed profound; however, all sword variations ultimately follow the same principle."

"Dean Su, this sword is my Seven Killings Sword, which can overcome any technique with its sheer force. Let's see if it can break your sword's momentum!"

With a dusty robe fluttering lightly, the wooden sword in her hand was stained with a bluish-red color. Her figure moved like a long dragon, and with a single sword strike, she pierced straight through Su Ran's face.

Su Ran's feet sank, and the wind around her formed a Tai Chi symbol, pressing a double fish pattern into the lawn:

"Disengage!"

hum-

The exchange of swords was swift.

A flash of sword light appeared in the peach orchard, more dazzling than the sunset.

Tiandou Royal Academy.

Inside the magnificent conference room, all three chairpersons of the Academic Affairs Department were present. Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang and Qin Ming were making final arrangements for the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team:

"Our team, along with the Star Luo Royal Academy and the main team of the Spirit Hall, are seeded teams and can skip the qualifiers and directly advance to the finals. Their goal is to compete for the championship, and they will definitely go for the championship."

"Team Two, you have only one goal: to clear the way for the main team and test the strength of the strong teams in the qualifiers, especially this Taoyuan team. Once you encounter them, I need you to go all out and use your strongest abilities to deal with them and find out their strength and trump cards."

"Of course, if you can achieve a good ranking based on your own strength and eliminate Taoyuan team directly in the qualifiers, successfully enter the finals and meet the home team, I will be very happy for you."

The Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament is divided into three stages: the preliminary rounds, the qualifying rounds, and the finals.

The combined team of Tang San, Yu Tianheng, Dai Mubai, and other Shrek Academy members and the Royal Fighting Team naturally became the main team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, inheriting the seeded team status of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and thus exempting them from the preliminary rounds.

"Master, could this Peach Blossom Team be the team that Teacher Qin Ming mentioned before, the one that defeated our main team in Soto City?"

The Dean of Academic Affairs, Meng Shenji, was somewhat puzzled. This Taoyuan team was clearly an unknown team, and the name of this academy had never appeared in previous Soul Master Competitions. Why would the Grandmaster attach such importance to it?

The master glanced at Qin Ming, somewhat annoyed that Qin Ming had spoken out of turn, and could only explain:
"Yes, the Royal Fighting Team did indeed narrowly lose to the Peach Blossom Team. This team should not be underestimated; they have a strong explosive power. Therefore, we need to be on high alert to deal with this team. If necessary, we should even have the second team cover for the main team."

"We can even lose the championship, but we absolutely cannot lose to the Taoyuan team again, otherwise it will have a great impact on these children's future training."

"What worries me most is that our team has lost such an excellent support-type Soul Master as Lingling. This may cause our team to lose its soul..."

A hint of worry appeared in Bai Baoshan's eyes, who was second in the table.

A few days ago, when these children returned from hunting for their fourth spirit ring, they discovered that Ye Lingling was missing. She was the most outstanding support spirit master among the younger generation of the Royal Academy.

"Second Vice President Bai, there's no need to mention her anymore. Since she chose to betray her team, let her go. Even without the Nine Heart Begonia, we will still win."

Upon hearing Ye Lingling's name, Yu Xiaogang's eyes dimmed slightly, but he quickly waved his hand. With the competition about to begin, he couldn't let his troops lose morale, boost the morale of others, or diminish his own. He had to give the children confidence.

"Xiao Gang!"

"Flanders, you're back? How did it go? Did you find out anything about Paradise Academy?"

Just then, Flander and Zhao Wuji walked in from outside, and Yu Xiaogang quickly went up to ask them.

Flander adjusted his glasses:

"According to my investigation, after entering Tiandou City, Taoyuan Academy should have moved into the wealthy area, and they are guarded by special guards from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Our people dare not make any rash moves."

"However, I just saw an old man in white go to the area where Peach Blossom Academy is located. Soon after, a shocking sword light emanated from it, even scattering the rosy clouds in the sky. I wonder if a fight has broken out."

"White robes? Sword light? Could it be..."

"Zhao Wuji, if I remember correctly, the one that Su Ran used to seriously injure you was also a peach blossom branch that turned into a sword, right?"

"Yes."

Zhao Wuji felt somewhat embarrassed when his painful memories were brought up.

"Then that's it. The old man who can unleash such a powerful sword light must be Sword Douluo Chen Xin. It is said that his swordsmanship is unparalleled, and few can rival him. He is also a sword fanatic. Su Ran is using the Peach Blossom Sword, so he is very likely going to challenge Su Ran to a sword duel."

A look of joy appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face:
"This Sword Douluo is said to have broken through to level 95 years ago and is a super Douluo powerhouse. If he makes a move, Su Ran will definitely suffer. If we can seriously injure him, it will be of great benefit to us! We will have much more room to maneuver."

"Alright, Xiao San, Mu Bai, Tian Heng... After your teammates from your main team have collected their team uniforms, go back to training. The competition starts tomorrow, and you should also go to watch it. Don't miss any of Taoyuan Team's matches."

"The second team stays. I need to work out some tactical arrangements for the qualifiers for you."

Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath and spoke to the two members of the Royal Academy team.

"Master, is this our team uniform?"

"It's not very good-looking?"

"Why are there two logos? This is the Royal Academy's logo, but what is this logo with a branch and a red cross?"

"Fool! This is clear—the Peach Blossom Spring team will be wiped out!"

"Wow! That's brilliant!"
