Douluo Continent: From Blue Silver Grass to Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chapter 43 Travels 2

Originally, Dugu Bo had intended to bring the two of them back six months ago.

But at that moment, Jiang Li discovered that after this short six-month trip...

He seemed to have gained some insights into the art of swordsmanship.

So at that time, Jiang Li began to try to cultivate the way of the sword.

Thrust, cleave, flick, hang, hook, chop, collapse, intercept.

Jiang Li began to practice the eight essential principles of swordsmanship one by one.

During his travels, Jiang Li observed the various aspects of the world.

They began practicing each move and stance.

During this time, despite no one's deliberate instruction, Jiang Li had already developed some understanding of the way of the sword.

Upon seeing this, Dugu Bo naturally couldn't stop smiling.

At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder if he should make contact with Sword Douluo.

After all, on this continent, when it comes to understanding the way of the sword, Chen Xin is second to none.

In fact, no one dared to claim to be number one.

This is enough to show that Chen Xin's skill in swordsmanship has reached an extraordinary level.

But Jiang Li ultimately shook his head and refused.

It's not that he still thinks about hiding anything.

Jiang Li felt that the path he would take on the way of the sword was different from Chen Xin's.

As the successor of the Seven Kill Sword, Chen Xin's sword intent is unstoppable and grows stronger with each battle.

Jiang Li at the moment is different; his understanding of sword intent is still somewhat vague.

The sword in my hand can cut through anything.

This alone is enough to determine that the two of them will take completely different paths.

Jiang Li thought that during this period of exploration, he should at least be sure that in the way of the sword, in addition to the uprightness and integrity of a swordsman, he should also have the momentum to cut down anything.

These are some insights Jiang Li gained from observing everything around him during his travels.

He knew very well that only after he had clearly defined the path he wanted to take would he have the opportunity to communicate with Chen Xin in the future.

At least you won't let the opponent's sword intent affect the path you're taking.

After this explanation, Dugu Bo naturally put aside his idea of ​​introducing Sword Douluo to Jiang Li for the time being.

But he did not dismiss this idea, because he knew that Jiang Li would eventually encounter something he could not solve in the path of the sword.

At that time, the only person who could answer his questions was Sword Douluo.

So even though it's not needed right now, it's for Jiang Li's future.

It would be best to befriend Sword Douluo.

Because I am on the path of poison, I will pursue other cultivation methods in the future.

It is difficult to solve Jiang Li's problem.

Just as Jiang Li and Dugu Bo were chatting, the wooden door was pushed open.

A graceful figure in green walked in, carrying a variety of snacks. When she came to the two of them, she was radiating girlish joy.

This woman was none other than Dugu Yan. He handed the snacks in his hand to the two of them.

They started chattering away like sparrows, sharing their joy at being here.

"Grandpa, Jiang Li, let me tell you, we really made the right choice coming here! These snacks are amazing, you guys eat up! Wait, I need to pack some to take to Lingling. And wow, these antique-style buildings here are nice too. Grandpa, how about we buy a place to stay here..."

Seeing Dugu Yan's reaction, Dugu Bo smiled as he accepted the snacks from her hand, and couldn't help but tease her.

"Hehe, it seems Yan Yan really likes this place. If Yan Yan is happy, then let's buy it."

After Dugu Bo saw through her thoughts, Dugu Yan's pretty face immediately flushed red.

Seeing that Jiang Li was still there, Dugu Yan snorted and couldn't help but retort.

"No, I just thought this place was pretty good, and Grandpa might like it when he retires, so... that's why I suggested it, right, Jiang Li?"

Finally, Dugu Yan's slightly threatening gaze fell upon Jiang Li.

Seeing this, Jiang Li could only smile and nod.

After spending a few days exploring Karl City, just as she was preparing to return, Dugu Yan discovered that there was a Soul Arena within the city.

So he couldn't wait and pulled the two of them inside.

He claimed it was to prove to these two that he had not slacked off in his cultivation during his year of travel.

Seeing this, the two naturally had no reason to refuse.

With Dugu Bo's help, Jiang Li and Dugu Yan quickly completed the necessary procedures.

They are Jiang Li No. 7 and Dugu Yan No. 9.

However, the two did not choose to engage in a two-person Soul Battle, but instead opted for a one-person Soul Battle. After all, Dugu Yan wanted to show the two that she had not slacked off during the year.

To the surprise of the three, Jiang Li was clearly listed first in the order.

But the first one to go up to fight was number nine against Dugu Yan, which made her raise the corners of her mouth. After speaking in a provocative tone, she slowly walked into the Soul Arena.

"Jiang Li, watch closely. Although you've been practicing swordsmanship for the past year and your soul power has increased by half a level compared to mine, my overall strength has improved by far more than yours."

Seeing this, Dugu Bo couldn't help but reveal a hint of helplessness.

During her year-long journey, Dugu Yan's strength has increased by three levels, and she is currently at level thirty-eight.

Jiang Li's strength did indeed increase by three and a half levels while he was practicing swordsmanship, and he has now reached level thirty-six and a half.

Dugu Yan could naturally see how hard Jiang Li had worked to practice his sword over the past year.

However, she was still somewhat dissatisfied, after all, Jiang Li was practicing swordsmanship on the side, yet his breakthrough speed was still half a level higher than hers.

Despite the fact that cultivation becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses.

However, this little girl's strong personality still couldn't be suppressed, so she found this excuse to fight in the Soul Arena, as if she wanted to show Jiang Li something.

Dugu Bo could only smile helplessly. As a titled Douluo, he naturally saw things more clearly than Dugu Yan.

If Jiang Li hadn't been so engrossed in sword practice this past year, he probably would have advanced to level four and a half, not three and a half.

Of course, he didn't choose to say this out loud; he knew better than anyone how strong-willed his daughter was.

Meanwhile, as Dugu Yan went to fight the Souls.

Inside the VIP room, a burly young man's eyes flashed with a fiery light upon seeing Dugu Yan's face.

He immediately pointed at Dugu Yan and asked the person next to him.

"Who is that young lady in the audience? Investigate her."

However, after Dugu Yan released her martial spirit, the young man and the people next to her were stunned.

Because Dugu Yan wields a dragon-type martial soul, such an existence.

Within the entire Heaven Dou Empire, there is only one such sect: the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect.

Upon witnessing this scene, a deep sense of resentment rose in the eyes of the burly young man, but this dejected look quickly dissipated as his subordinates brought over the intelligence.

Upon learning that Dugu Yan's identity was not that of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan but rather Dugu Bo, a glimmer of hope rose in the young man's heart.

Because he was none other than Huyan Li, the grandson of the current sect leader of the Elephant Armor Sect.

At only sixteen years old, his soul power had already reached level thirty-eight, just one step away from level thirty-nine.

Having spent years in seclusion cultivating, he naturally had no idea that Dugu Bo's strength had improved at the palace banquet a year prior.

So right now, even though he knows that Dugu Yan is backed by Dugu Bo, he is still in a state of shock.

But his inner thoughts remained unchanged.

After all, his grandfather was the sect leader of one of the seven major sects, although his soul power was only level 89 and he had not yet stepped into the realm of the titled sect.

When Dugu Bo reached the level of a titled official, the two had a private battle.

Hu Yanzhen's Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul defense was so strong that Dugu Bo had to use his ninth soul skill to barely break through it.

This also demonstrates the formidable defensive power of Huyan Zhen.

It was this news that led Hu Yanli to realize that his grandfather, Hu Yanzhen, was a powerful clan leader with such a record, and his status was actually not much different from that of Dugu Bo.

If Hu Yanli were to pursue Dugu Yan, it would be a powerful alliance.

Just as Huyanli was having this dream, Dugu Yan had already finished the battle.

And there he was, Jiang Li, who came to greet him.

When he saw the woman he had his eye on chatting and laughing with a pretty boy.

Hu Yanli immediately punched a solid wood table, smashing it into dust.
