"Oh? I'd like to hear more about it."

Qian Xunji raised an eyebrow. Bi Ni's attitude had improved somewhat, but his expression remained relatively calm.

Perhaps in his eyes, the only one on the entire continent that could be compared to the Spirit Hall was the Clear Sky Sect, but the Clear Sky Sect caught his eye because of Tang Chen.

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was one of the three upper sects and was extremely wealthy, in his view, the Spirit Hall could deal with it with a flick of their wrist.

However, since the other party has taken the initiative to show sincerity, he will not make things difficult for them.

Ning Fengzhi stood up and bowed slightly. His eloquent and eloquent speech made Qian Xunji somewhat interested.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has really suffered a huge loss this time. Apart from not joining the Spirit Hall, it has given up almost all the benefits it could, and even the benefits that it couldn't give up were changed from being exclusively held to being jointly developed with the Spirit Hall.

This collaboration can be said to have tied the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School entirely to the Spirit Hall's warship.

"What does Your Holiness think of what I have said?"

"Well, since Sect Master Ning thinks so highly of my Spirit Hall, my Spirit Hall is naturally willing to cooperate with your sect."

Qian Xunji stood up from the papal throne and slowly walked down the steps.

"Regarding the cooperation, I will send someone to negotiate with your clan in detail."

"Very well, in that case, I will go back as soon as possible to arrange the cooperation."

Ning Fengzhi nodded. Although he had given up many benefits, cooperating with the Spirit Hall would only bring profits to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

With the help of the Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School might be able to reach even greater heights.

"Your Holiness, I have a request, and I hope Your Holiness will grant it."

Seeing that the important matters had been discussed, Chen Xin stepped forward.

"Sword Douluo, there's no need to be so polite. I will definitely help you if it's within my power."

Qian Xunji held Sword Douluo in the highest esteem, considering him to be at least at the level of a revered figure. Since the other party had taken the initiative to make the request, he was naturally interested in helping him within his means.

"I am quite fond of His Holiness the Pope's disciple. I wonder if His Holiness would allow me to tutor him for a period of time?"

Chen Xin revealed his purpose: he had taken a special liking to Gu Han ever since that competition, especially for his talent in swordsmanship, which made him feel like he had met a kindred spirit too late.

Such a talented child, who is also skilled with a sword, would be a great regret in life if he didn't contribute to the growth of his peers.

"Haha, I thought it was something serious."

Qian Xunji laughed, thinking the other party was going to say something, but it turned out they just wanted to hunt and teach their disciple a lesson.

"It is an honor for Gu Han to be appreciated by Sword Douluo, and Sword Douluo's willingness to teach him shows that he thinks highly of the kid. I have no objection."

Now, Qian Xunji increasingly feels how correct her initial decision was, and she is increasingly proud of her foresight.

First it was Guang Ling, and now it's Sword Douluo; both of them are top-tier figures on the continent.

Even his own father thought highly of Gu Han, saying that if he hadn't taken the initiative, he would have personally accepted him as his disciple.

"Then thank you very much, Your Holiness. May I ask where young friend Gu is now?"

Chen Xin was overjoyed and quickly asked.

"That kid should be practicing swordsmanship with Dong'er at the Holy Maiden Temple's training ground right now. I'll take you there."

Qian Xunji thought for a moment and calculated the time.

Gu Han's daily routine is very rigid; he plans exactly what he'll be doing at any given time.

Ever since Dong'er obtained her fourth spirit ring, I don't know what got into her, but she insisted on practicing swordsmanship with Gu Han every day, and even made a fuss about having a longsword forged for her using top-grade metal.

As Qian Xunji had predicted, Gu Han was indeed practicing swordsmanship with Bibi Dong at the Holy Maiden Palace training grounds.

"Senior sister, a soul skill is simply a way of using soul power. Follow my instructions to inject your soul power into the sword. This will allow you to release sword energy in the simplest way and enhance the sharpness of the sword in your hand."

"Uh-huh."

Bibi Dong nodded. The sword in her hand was made based on the design of Gu Han's Xuan Shuang Sword. Although it did not have the attributes and sharpness of the Xuan Shuang Sword, it was made of a famous metal on the continent.

When using the methods taught by Gu Han to circulate his soul power, he was in no way inferior to some high-level weapon spirits.

Bibi Dong has exceptional talent; she can learn sword techniques almost instantly.

She was tall and stood straight, holding her sword in front of her. Her left hand formed a sword finger and swept across the blade, with purplish-black soul power clinging to it.

As sword energy condensed, Bibi Dong swiftly slashed forward with her sword, letting out a delicate shout at the same time.

"cut!"

A sharp, purple sword aura was instantly released, splitting the wooden figure in two.

"Junior brother, I did it!!"

Upon seeing her achievement, Bibi Dong jumped up excitedly, eager to share her joy with Gu Han.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Chapter 69 Sparring with Sword Douluo

"What sword energy!"

A gasp rang out, and Gu Han and Bibi Dong immediately looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Qian Xunji leading Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin from a distance.

That exclamation just now came from Sword Douluo.

"I never expected that, besides young friend Gu, even this legendary Holy Maiden is a swordsman."

Bibi Dong and Gu Han exchanged a glance, both seeing the doubt in each other's eyes. However, despite their doubts, they put away their swords and bowed slightly to the three of them.

"Master, Sect Leader Ning, Senior Sword Douluo."

"Xiao Han, it's Sword Douluo who wants to see you."

Qian Xunji wore a gratified smile. Since taking Gu Han as his disciple, Dong'er's enthusiasm for cultivation and learning had been growing stronger.

Moreover, Gu Han himself is an absolute genius. Although his innate talent was not good, it has now been made up for by the immortal herb. Coupled with his talent, he will definitely have a place at the pinnacle of the continent in the future.

Upon hearing this, Gu Han had some guesses in his mind, but he did not speak presumptuously. Instead, he humbly asked.

"What guidance does Senior Sword Douluo have?"

Sword Douluo did not reply, but stroked his smooth chin and carefully examined Gu Han.

The more he looked, the more satisfied he became, but then he felt a pang of regret that he hadn't met such a sword genius first.

"Excellent, excellent, His Holiness the Pope has indeed taken in two fine disciples."

"Young friend Gu, would you be willing to spar with this old man in swordsmanship?"

"This junior is foolish and humbly requests guidance from Senior Sword Douluo."

When Gu Han heard that Sword Douluo wanted to spar with him in swordsmanship, he naturally agreed without hesitation. After all, on the Douluo Continent, the Seven Kill Sword lineage was undoubtedly the most skilled in swordsmanship.

He had long wanted to see the Seven Kill Sword Technique for himself.

The crowd cleared a space for the two of them, and Gu Han summoned the Xuan Shuang Sword.

"Senior, please enlighten me."

"Come on, you make the first move."

Chen Xin also summoned his martial soul, the Seven Kill Sword.

Facing Sword Douluo, a being who had wielded a sword his entire life and was also a Title Douluo, Gu Han naturally dared not underestimate him.

"Behold the sword aura!"

The icy, bone-chilling sword energy instantly froze the ground. The crescent-shaped sword energy, as tall as a person, slashed straight at Sword Douluo. At the same time, Gu Han's figure flashed, following closely behind the sword energy with special steps.

"Good timing!"

Sword Douluo's eyes lit up, and he slashed horizontally with the Seven Kill Sword. The killing sword energy naturally formed, shattering the frost sword energy and knocking Gu Han back at the same time.

Sword Douluo formed a sword finger, and the Seven Kill Sword circled around him before flying towards Gu Han.

Gu Han flickered in mid-air, regained his footing, and unleashed a flurry of sword shadows, sending out dozens of sword energies in an instant.

The sword energy collided with the Seven Kill Sword, repelling it.

"Good lad, not bad!"

Chen Xin gripped the Seven Kill Sword again and lunged forward, each strike swift and precise, demonstrating his profound mastery of the sword.

The Seven Kill Sword Technique carries a murderous aura, yet it is also dignified and upright, swift yet gentle.

However, Sword Douluo did not suppress Gu Han in terms of soul power, but only sparred with him using sword techniques.

Although Gu Han's swordsmanship was inferior to his opponent's, he was still able to fight back and forth using the sword techniques brought by the Nameless Technique.

The clanging of metal against metal rang out continuously as the two figures moved swiftly across the training ground, each clash sending sparks flying.

As the battle intensified, Sword Douluo became increasingly alarmed, thinking, "This young man is so young, yet his swordsmanship is so unpredictable and difficult to fathom."

With a bang, the two swords clashed again. The frost sword energy and the seven-kill sword energy collided, leaving the entire training ground covered with sword marks. If an ordinary person were to get close, they would be instantly killed by these dissipated sword energies.

"Good lad, you do have some skill."

Chen Xin laughed heartily, and his admiration for Gu Han grew even stronger.

"But that's not enough!"

As he spoke, Chen Xin suddenly flipped his sword, causing Gu Han's Xuan Shuang sword to deflect to one side. Then, he thrust out diagonally, the Seven Kill Sword like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, striking out swiftly.

Gu Han's eyes widened suddenly, and before he could react, the Seven Kill Sword had already grazed his cheek, a strand of hair from his temple falling onto the blade of the Seven Kill Sword.

After the battle ended, Chen Xin gracefully sheathed the Seven Kill Sword and stood with his hands behind his back.

"Not bad, he's a good prospect, much better than I was in my youth."

Chen Xin had lost count of how many times he had praised Gu Han. Ever since that night's battle between Gu Han and Tang Hao, he had grown to find Gu Han more and more pleasing to the eye.

But the more this was the case, the more regretful he felt.

What a pity, the other party already has a master.

"Senior, you flatter me. Your swordsmanship is superb and your family has a long tradition of learning. I have long admired you. Now that I have seen it, I can see that your Seven Kill Sword Technique is indeed well-deserved of its reputation. I am ashamed to admit that I am not as good as you."

Gu Han admired Chen Xin from the bottom of his heart. Chen Xin's swordsmanship was so natural and flawless that Gu Han had no way to attack him.
