Douluo Continent: Seven Kills Appear, Ten Kills Become God

No one else knew the night Chen Fei broke through to level 20.

He sat cross-legged in the soul power training room, with the Seven Kill Sword hanging in front of him.

The first star on the sword, Tian Shu, is radiating an unprecedented light.

The light illuminated the entire training room as if it were daytime, the Soul Gathering Array operated wildly, and the soul power in the air surged into his body like a tide.

Sweat dripped from his forehead and onto the ground with a soft sound.

His breathing grew heavier and heavier, each breath carrying a scorching heat.

The soul power within his body was like a giant dragon imprisoned, rampaging through his meridians, searching for an exit.

That invisible barrier lies ahead.

He could feel it; it was like a transparent wall, hard, cold, and insurmountable.

But he had to get past it.

The power of the Heavenly Pivot circulated wildly within his body, drawing in the surging soul power to repeatedly assault that barrier.

Each impact felt like a giant hammer slamming into an anvil, making his whole body go numb.

The first time, the barrier remained completely still.

The second time, a small crack appeared.

The third time, the cracks spread out, becoming as dense as a spider web.

The fourth time—

"boom!"

The invisible barrier shattered.

Level 20.

Soul power surged through the barriers like a flood, coursing through the meridians.

It's several times faster and several times more robust than before.

Chen Fei could feel his body being reshaped by this power.

The muscles expand and contract, and every fiber becomes stronger.

The bones were creaking, and every inch of bone was becoming denser.

The meridians are expanding, and every channel is becoming wider.

It is a painful process, but also a wonderful one.

Pain comes from the body being torn apart, but beauty comes from the stronger rebirth that follows each tear.

After an unknown amount of time, the reconstruction finally came to an end.

Chen Fei slowly opened his eyes.

A faint starlight flashed deep within his pupils.

That was the mark of the power of the Celestial Pivot taking root in his body. From now on, wherever he goes, the power of this star will be with him.

He looked down at his hands.

My palms are a size bigger than before, my knuckles are more distinct, and there is a thin layer of calluses on my fingertips.

Those were the marks left by swinging the sword three thousand times a day for half a month.

He clenched his fist and felt an unprecedented power gathering in his palm.

The Seven Kill Sword hung in front of him, its first star shining as bright as day.

Beside it, the second star, Tianxuan, faintly revealed a phantom image.

The faint shadow was like looking at stars through the morning mist, barely perceptible.

It lay quietly on the hilt, waiting for the moment it would be lit.

But Chen Fei knew that now was not the time.

Each star of the Seven Star Seven Kill Sword requires a corresponding soul ring to truly light up.

The first star corresponds to the first spirit ring, the second star corresponds to the second spirit ring, and so on.

Without a spirit ring, the power of the stars cannot be awakened.

This is an ironclad rule, an unshakeable law of his mutated Seven Kill Sword.

He needs a second spirit ring.

The second spirit ring means hunting spirit beasts, means fighting, means bloodshed and death.

Chen Fei stood up and put the Seven Kill Sword back into his body.

The level 20 soul power flowed slowly through the meridians, more than twice as strong as when it was level 19.

But his body was like an enlarged container.

The bottle got bigger, but the water level didn't rise accordingly.

Level 20 soul power is not enough to fill a level 20 body. He needs a second soul ring to replenish his new power and also to open the passage to the second star.

"Time to go hunt for souls."

He was talking to himself, and his voice was particularly clear in the empty training room.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a voice came from behind him.

"Not bad, you've reached level 20."

"It was three days faster than I expected."

Chen Fei turned around.

In the corner of the cultivation room, an old man in gray robes leaned against the wall, arms crossed, smiling at him.

The old man's hair was white and his face was covered with wrinkles, but his eyes were surprisingly bright, like two black gems polished by time.

His presence blended perfectly into the surrounding environment, without a trace leaking out, just like an ordinary old man dozing off against a wall.

But Chen Fei knew that he was no ordinary person.

"Seventh Grandfather".

Chen Fei spoke, his tone calm, without surprise or panic.

He knows this person.

Chen Xu, the seventh elder of the Chen family.

A level 93 Title Douluo, Martial Soul: Seven Kill Sword.

Among the twelve titled Douluo of the Chen family, his strength was not among the top, but his concealment skills were unparalleled in the entire clan.

It is said that when he was young, he once sneaked into the core forbidden area of ​​a rival sect, stayed there for three days and three nights, read through all of their secrets, and then swaggered out without anyone noticing him.

Chen Fei had seen him many times at the Chen family home.

During every clan gathering, he would sit in a corner and doze off, muttering a few words when the Ninth Elder woke him up by banging on the table.

He would occasionally come to watch the younger generation train at the training ground, but he never offered any advice. He would just watch and then leave.

Chenfei had always thought he was a quiet old man.

Only now did he realize that his seventh grandfather, who had been dozing off at the clan meeting and was taciturn by the martial arts arena, had eyes that, when lit up, resembled a cheetah ready to pounce.

"Seventh Grandfather?" Chen Xu raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you always call me Seventh Elder in the clan? How come you've learned to call me Grandfather after only a month away?"

Chen Fei paused for a moment, then said, "In the clan, you are an elder; outside, you are my grandfather."

Chen Xu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Great! What a perfect 'my grandfather outside' statement!"

He walked over and patted Chen Fei on the shoulder: "I like hearing that. But you have to remember, don't shout outside. If people know that the Chen family still has someone protecting you, those who want to take advantage of you will start having wicked ideas."

"I know," Chen Fei nodded. "Then what should I be called now?"

"Just call me Seventh Brother," Chen Xu grinned. "Or you can call me Grandpa, either is fine. Just don't call me Seventh Elder or Seventh Grandfather. It'll be troublesome if people hear it."

Chen Fei thought for a moment: "Seventh Brother."

"..." Chen Xu's face darkened: "You should still call him Seventh Grandfather. Seventh is what your second uncle calls him, it's not appropriate for you to call him that."

"Aren't you afraid someone will overhear you?"

"So what if you can tell?"

Chen Xu waved his hand, looking indifferent: "Anyway, you've already drawn your sword at Shrek Academy, so the Chen family's identity can't be hidden sooner or later. It's just a matter of time."

He walked to the window, pushed it open, and the night breeze carrying the scent of grass and trees rushed in.

He looked up at the Big Dipper in the sky, then looked down at Chen Fei, his gaze becoming serious.

"Your second spirit ring will be placed in the Star Dou Great Forest."

When are you planning to go?

"I'll take you with me."

"Chen Xu said."

"Shall we go now?" Chen Fei didn't want to wait too long.
