Douluo Continent: The Sword of Wine Sweeps Across the Sky, One Sword Opens the Heavens

Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, Training Grounds.

The wind is cold.

It feels like being pricked by fine needles when scraped on the face.

In the center of the training ground, the atmosphere was colder than the biting wind.

Xie Yunliu stood there.

He wore an old blue shirt that had been washed until it was faded.

The collar was somewhat worn, and the cuffs were rolled up.

But his posture was as upright as an unsheathed sword.

The spine is straight, without bending or bending.

Three years.

Three whole years.

His soul power was stuck at level 10 Soul Warrior.

Not a single step forward.

Who still remembers?

Three years ago, when he was first adopted by the clan elders, he was a figure of great prestige.

He awakened his innate full soul power, and his martial soul is the rare Ink Shadow Sword.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin stopped to praise him whenever he passed by.

He is said to be a once-in-a-century swordsmanship prodigy.

Ning Fengzhi also personally visited him, hoping to arrange a marriage between them.

Ultimately, he was designated as the crown jewel of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

Yu Liuli's fiancé.

At that time, he was the pride of the entire clan.

He is someone all Blue Lightning disciples look up to.

But now.

A genius becomes a good-for-nothing.

Praise turned into ridicule.

Expectation turned into contempt.

All Blue Lightning, All Douluo Continent.

Almost everyone knows it.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan produced a useless person with innate full soul power whose soul power had not increased for three years.

His name is Xie Yunliu.

No one knows the real reason why his soul power is not increasing.

Everyone thought he had exhausted his talent and become a useless person.

Only Xie Yunliu himself knew the truth.

His innate full soul power is not ordinary innate full soul power.

The bond between his twin martial souls locked his soul power tightly.

An ordinary Soul Master with innate level 10 full Soul Power only needs to absorb one hundred-year Soul Ring.

You can easily break through the level 10 barrier and reach level 11 or even level 12.

But he can't.

Let alone a hundred-year soul ring, even the most ordinary ten-year soul ring...

He couldn't absorb any of it.

The twin martial souls counterbalance each other, forming an invisible shackle.

His soul power was locked, as was his martial soul power.

Over the past three years, the clan elders have also searched for a soul ring for him.

From a hundred years to a decade, countless soul beasts have changed.

However, each attempt to absorb it is met with a backlash from the shackles within the body.

Instead of increasing his soul power, he experienced violent fluctuations, nearly damaging his soul.

Over time, the people in the clan gave up on him.

He was deemed incapable of absorbing spirit rings.

A piece of trash who can never break through in his entire life.

Today is a special day.

It was Yu Liuli's twelfth birthday coming-of-age ceremony.

It was also the day that his engagement with Yu Liuli was nullified.

Yu Liuli stood on the high platform in front of the martial arts arena.

He wore a magnificent brocade robe embroidered with lifelike blue lightning dragon patterns.

Adorned with jewels, with a beautiful face, her eyes and brows were full of arrogance and impatience.

She looked down at Xie Yunliu.

That look in his eyes was as if he were looking at a piece of insignificant trash.

The surrounding area was crowded with disciples and elders of the Blue Lightning family.

All eyes were on Xie Yunliu.

There was mockery, disdain, regret, and even schadenfreude.

The murmurs buzzed like flies.

"Look at him, still pretending to be high and mighty."

"A level-ten piece of trash like him dares to marry our precious daughter?"

"They made grand promises three years ago, but now they've accomplished nothing."

"If I were him, I would have packed my bags and left Blue Lightning long ago. I wouldn't have the face to stand here."

"I heard the clan elders searched for countless spirit rings for him, but he couldn't even absorb a ten-year-old one. He's a complete waste!"

On the high platform, the clan elders sat in a row.

Each of them had a cold expression and distant eyes.

Some people frowned slightly, not because of Xie Yunliu, but because they found him an eyesore.

No one wants to offend Yu Liuli and the elder faction behind her for the sake of a good-for-nothing.

They all knew that Xie Yunliu was unable to absorb spirit rings, an unchangeable fact.

Only the very top seat.

The progenitor of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, Yu Yuanzhen.

His brows furrowed, his gaze fixed on Xie Yunliu, a hint of barely perceptible regret in his eyes.

He vaguely guessed that Xie Yunliu's inability to absorb soul rings and his lack of soul power increase were not due to a lack of talent.

Rather, the bond between the twin martial souls was too unique, and he was unable to break through this constraint.

He is old and his family is divided into factions, so he is no longer able to provide much protection.

In the end, all that could be done was a silent sigh, and silence.

Yu Liuli finally spoke.

The voice was crisp, yet it sounded like it had been tempered with ice, full of harshness.

"Xie Yunliu."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over Xie Yunliu, her contempt undisguised.

"Our engagement is hereby terminated today."

The training ground fell silent for a moment.

Everyone stopped talking and stared intently at Xie Yunliu.

I want to see if this good-for-nothing will break down and cry, or kneel down and beg for mercy.

Xie Yunliu slowly raised his eyes.

His eyes were calm.

There was no anger, no resentment, not even a ripple of emotion.

It's like a bottomless pool of cold water.

He looked at the jade glass on the high platform and uttered only two words.

"reason."

"reason?"

Yu Liuli scoffed as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.

The laughter was shrill and echoed throughout the entire training ground.

"Xie Yunliu, are you out of your mind?"

"You're just a level 10 Soul Master, a piece of trash who'll never break through in his entire life. You dare ask me for reasons?"

"Besides, you can't even absorb the most basic ten-year spirit ring!"

"In this lifetime, I'll only ever be stuck at level ten; I won't even qualify as a true Soul Master!"

She took a step forward, looking down at Xie Yunliu with an increasingly sarcastic tone.

"I, Yu Liuli, am the little princess of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family."

"She is the woman who will stand at the pinnacle of Douluo Continent in the future."

"The man I want to marry is a peerless hero who can roam the continent and awe the world."

"Not someone like you, a good-for-nothing who'll never amount to anything and can't even absorb a spirit ring!"

She emphasized the word "waste" very heavily.

Like sharp knives, they stabbed fiercely at Xie Yunliu.

The statement, "Can't even absorb a ten-year soul ring," precisely hit the nail on the head regarding everyone's mockery.

The surrounding laughter and chatter resumed.

It was louder and more piercing than before.

"Mingzhu is right! He's a complete waste! He can't even absorb a ten-year spirit ring!"

"Get out of here, don't embarrass yourself!"

"By holding onto this marriage contract for three years, you're ruining Mingzhu's future!"

"So what if you have innate full soul power? If you can't absorb soul rings, you're still a useless piece of trash!"

Xie Yunliu listened to these sarcastic remarks.

There was still no change in her face.

A faint smile slowly crept onto the corners of his lips.

There was no self-mockery or anger in that smile.

There is only one kind of detached acceptance that sees through the fickleness of human relationships.

And a sharp edge hidden in his eyes.

He laughed at his three years of forbearance.

Laugh at the Blue Lightning family's sycophancy.

Laugh at these people, they're blind and can't see the hidden power within him.

They laughed at him, only knowing how to mock him for not being able to absorb soul rings, but unaware of the real reason behind it.

"waste?"

He spoke softly.

The sound wasn't loud, but it carried an invisible power.

It instantly drowned out the noise of the entire venue.

All the laughter stopped abruptly.

My gaze returned to him, a strange sense of unease creeping over me.
