The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 273 Talent and New Promises

"What's wrong?" Ning Fengzhi noticed Sword Douluo's gaze and turned to look. He saw Li Xun standing there, his eyes deep, as if he were lost in thought.

Qian Renxue was puzzled but impressed. She was about to speak when Sword Douluo stopped her with a gesture.

At this moment, Li Xun's mind was replaying the scene of the battle he had just fought.

The initial battle between Sword Douluo and Golden Crocodile Douluo was uneventful, consisting mainly of clashes between soul skills. The key moment lay in the final sword aura that nearly altered the very fabric of the heavens.

Although Li Xun had little knowledge of swordsmanship and his memories were mostly of Hashirama Senju's close-combat techniques, he could sense that the sword energy contained Chen Xin's understanding of swordsmanship.

Although he is still far from that level, as long as he deeply imprints it in his mind, he believes that one day he will be able to transform today's scene into his own nourishment.

A crystal-clear longsword appeared in his left hand. Li Xun unconsciously swung the sword, and his soul power seemed to be drawn in, flowing through his arm and into the sword, transforming into a foot-long sword aura that shot out.

It leaves a fresh scar on the earth.

"This?!" Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi looked at the long sword in Li Xun's hand with disbelief.

Everyone among them knew about Li Xun's second martial soul, but wasn't it something like a hidden weapon? Why hadn't Li Xun used it and turned it into a sword for so long?

But why does the second spirit now have two 100,000-year spirit rings? What exactly happened on this trip to Seagod Island?

The martial soul was summoned by Li Xun's left hand, so it can't be faked. Could it be a mutation of the martial soul? Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were shocked, and many questions came to mind in an instant.

After a brief moment of distraction, Sword Douluo looked at the sword mark left by Li Xun's strike and gradually became excited.

Although his understanding was still very basic, he could tell that Li Xun did indeed have a talent for swordsmanship.

Sword Douluo had no wife or children and devoted his life to the way of the sword. Although he regarded the children of the sect as his juniors, he lacked a true successor.

The talent that Li Xun is now displaying makes up for some of his regrets.

"Feng Zhi." Sword Douluo turned to look at Ning Feng Zhi. Although he didn't say anything, decades of getting along with each other didn't need simple words to express their feelings.

"Uncle Jian, I think Xiao Xun will definitely agree," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile without the slightest hesitation.

Although he and Li Xun were master and disciple, their relationship was not one of instruction and teaching. As a support-type Soul Master, all he could do was provide Li Xun with protection and a platform.

If we're really going to nitpick, Li Xun is like a genius the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School picked up for free. Through his talent and intellect displayed over the years, Ning Fengzhi knew that even if his disciple joined another power, he wouldn't be too bad off now.

Now that Sword Douluo is willing to pass on his skills to Li Xun, Ning Fengzhi couldn't be happier.

Unlike Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, Qian Renxue was genuinely shocked.

Looking at the longsword in Li Xun's hand and the two bright red soul rings, her mind went blank for a moment.

Qian Renxue knew Li Xun's talent. Although his sixth and seventh spirit rings had surprised her, her own divine-level martial spirit was not bad either.

She had neglected her cultivation a few years ago, but thanks to her efforts in the past two years, although there is still a gap, there is still hope of catching up.

It was only when Li Xun's second martial soul was revealed to her that Qian Renxue realized that she had never truly understood Li Xun.

"Twin martial souls, four 100,000-year soul rings." Qian Renxue snapped back to reality, a strange light flashing in her eyes as she looked at Li Xun. It seemed she needed to get to know her junior brother better.

Who doesn't know how difficult it is to hunt a 100,000-year-old soul beast? I never expected that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would actually lead Li Xun to hunt and kill two more. Our teacher is really crazy!

Li Xun's deep contemplation did not last long; there were still some things he could not yet grasp.

Nevertheless, it was enough to excite him. Compared to combat techniques, sword cultivation was different. He would get a set of Moonlit Robes when he got back.

Li Xun was overjoyed and put away the Water Cold Sword, only to find the three people staring intently at him.

I almost forgot, I haven't told them about my cultivation progress and martial soul transformation yet: "It's like this..."

Because Qian Renxue was present, Li Xun hid from the divine test and recounted the events in a different way.

"Xiao Xun, do you want to learn swordsmanship?" Ning Fengzhi nodded and winked at Li Xun.

Although Li Xun hadn't learned any skills from Ning Fengzhi over the years, their tacit understanding far surpassed that of others; he understood instantly with a glance at Sword Douluo.

"Of course, teacher. Before I even got back, I was already thinking about how to learn some skills from Grandpa Sword."

Li Xun was about to bow after speaking, but Sword Douluo stopped him, saying, "Little Xun, you grew up by my side since you were little, calling me Grandpa all the time. I've long regarded you as family. There's no need for you to become my disciple."

"Yes, Grandpa is indeed a bit older than Master." Li Xun smiled after figuring out the key point.

"Let's go back first and talk about it later." Sword Douluo laughed heartily, patted Li Xun on the shoulder, and the Seven Kill Sword swelled up in the wind.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Ning Fengzhi stepped onto the Seven Kill Sword, but seeing that Qian Renxue hadn't moved, he asked in confusion, "Is Your Majesty still planning to go with Xiao Xun?"

"Teachers, you go first. I saw my junior brother's second martial soul and want to talk to him and learn about the mysteries of twin martial souls." Qian Renxue turned around and smiled at Ning Fengzhi, her face full of curiosity.

"Okay." Ning Fengzhi naturally knew the attraction of twin martial souls to soul masters, and had no doubts.

Seeing Sword Douluo carrying Ning Fengzhi take off, Qian Renxue casually moved closer to Li Xun, a half-smile on her face: "Junior brother, I've discovered quite a few secrets about you today!"

"Senior sister, you didn't ask, and my second martial soul hasn't formed any combat power yet, so I haven't used it." Li Xun reached out and wrapped his arms around Qian Renxue's waist, slowly taking off to chase after Sword Douluo.

"So I'm just lucky today? Is it only after you've fully equipped your second spirit with all the spirit rings that I'll be able to see it?"

Qian Renxue placed one hand on Li Xun's chest and looked at Li Xun's profile: "But back then, apart from two or three people, there was probably no one on the entire continent who could rival you."

Upon hearing this, Li Xun fell into a brief silence, pondered its deeper meaning, and said in a deep voice, "If Senior Sister is willing, she can remain the emperor of this mortal realm forever."

"If I don't become an emperor of the mortal realm, how could I possibly become an emperor of the heavens?" Having received the answer she wanted, Qian Renxue revealed a faint smile: "But you'd better keep your word!"

After saying that, Qian Renxue regretted it a little. She was now just like most monarchs, afraid that her subordinates were too powerful.

Thinking of this, Qian Renxue chuckled self-deprecatingly and quickly banished the thought from her mind.

"Whatever I promise, I will keep." Feeling the soft Wu dialect in his ear, Li Xun tightened his arms.

Feeling the heat and force in her waist, Qian Renxue's eyes flashed with a strange light, and she quickly turned her head to the side.
