Douluo Continent: Sword Named Star, Slaying Gods to Prove the Dao

"I understand, teacher. I will definitely manage my time better from now on!" Feng Xiaotian said.

"Alright, I didn't give you any gifts since you've become my disciple. This pill is something I got from your young sect leader. After you take it, it will not only increase your soul power, but also further enhance your potential. It can be considered as a way to make up for the loss of your slow soul power cultivation over the past few years."

Bone Douluo spoke up, "You know, Sword Douluo also took in a disciple these past few days, and his disciple can't lose to Sword Douluo's disciple."

Chapter 142 Sword Douluo Accepts Disciple, Chen Jianjun's Arm Recovers

Feng Xiaotian possesses innate full soul power; if he were to lose to Sword Douluo's disciple, it would be a huge disgrace. Even Bone Douluo has his pride.

In terms of strength, Sword Douluo was ahead of him. It wasn't until he reached level 97 with Ning Xingchen's help and absorbed a soul bone that was over 100,000 years old that they were able to reach a relatively balanced state, and their several encounters ended in a draw.

To continue defeating the opponent, we need to compare the disciples we have recruited.

Sword Douluo's disciple joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School three years ago when he was six years old and awakened his martial soul, the Ruoshui Sword. However, his innate soul power was only level five, which was much weaker than Feng Xiaotian's innate full soul power.

That's why his disciples can't afford to lose; it would be so embarrassing if they did.

Unlike Feng Xiaotian, the disciple Sword Douluo found was very hardworking in his cultivation. He could be called the most diligent cultivator in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Academy at present, without exception.

At only nine years old, his soul power has already reached level fourteen.

In just three years, he has cultivated his soul power from level five to level fourteen. If he were to reach Feng Xiaotian's age, he would definitely be able to reach level twenty or above.

However, at this time, Feng Xiaotian's soul power was only level 24. How could Bone Douluo not be worried?

Moreover, the opponent has an amazing aptitude for swordsmanship. Under the guidance of Sword Douluo these past few days, he has begun to practice swordsmanship and has made significant progress.

At this moment, in Sword Douluo's courtyard.

Sword Douluo and Seven Kill Douluo were watching a nine-year-old girl wielding a long sword. The girl was using the basic sword technique that Ning Xingchen had taught Sword Douluo.

After looking at it, Seven Kill Douluo nodded with satisfaction and said, "Xin'er, the disciple you took in is very good. Although his innate soul power is a bit low, his talent for swordsmanship is good. He is a good seedling for learning swordsmanship, and he is not much worse than Xingchen."

Sword Douluo said, "I took her as my disciple because I saw that she had good talent in swordsmanship and was willing to work hard to cultivate. She has mastered this basic sword technique in less than seven days."

Originally, Sword Douluo had no intention of taking on disciples, but he saw that everyone was starting to take on disciples under Ning Xingchen's instruction.

In just a few days, Liu Erlong has taken in two disciples: one is nine-year-old Huo Wushuang, with a soul power level of seventeen and an innate soul power level of eight; the other is seven-year-old Huo Wu, with an innate soul power level of nine.

After careful consideration, Ning Xingchen decided that it would be most appropriate to send Liu Erlong as his disciple.

After all, Liu Erlong's soul power has now reached level 84, while Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu's parents are level 58 Soul Kings and only level 53.

A Soul Master wanted to take them as his disciples, and they agreed without hesitation. More importantly, this Soul Master was quite young, not even thirty years old, and several years younger than the couple.

It was only a matter of time before Liu Erlong was given a title, so Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu readily agreed.

In addition, Shui Yue'er and Ning Xingchen also had A Yin take them as disciples, and Shui Bing'er took them as disciples herself. As Shui Bing'er's younger sister, she naturally couldn't be left out.

Ning Xingchen's decision to have his woman take them as disciples was a great honor for their family, since Shui Yue'er's talent was mediocre and she was not qualified at all.

Under these circumstances, the leaders of the three elemental academies are firmly bound together by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and their future looks promising.

It was precisely because of this that Sword Douluo felt he should also take on a disciple. Just then, Ning Fengzhi told him that there was a genius in swordsmanship at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Academy and asked him to go and take a look.

After observing for several days, he made a decision to accept the girl named Li Ruoshui as his disciple.

It's alright if your talent is lacking, after all, Ning Xingchen has pills and herbs that can improve talent.

After finishing a set of basic sword techniques, Li Ruoshui was so tired that she rested on the side.

"Not bad, not bad! Your basic swordsmanship is almost complete."

Ning Xingchen walked in from the courtyard gate.

"Uncle Jian, this must be the disciple you took in."

He had only recently returned to the sect, so he found a secret room for Bibi Dong to absorb her soul rings, and arranged for Ning Ruoxuan to continue guarding it. Only then did he have time to come out and take a look.

Sword Douluo said, "That's right, her name is Li Ruoshui."

Ning Xingchen said, "I already heard it from my older brother."

"Ruoshui, why don't you pay your respects to the young master?" Sword Douluo said.

Li Ruoshui immediately bowed to Ning Xingchen and said, "Greetings, Young Master."

Ning Xingchen nodded, intending to offer a gift, but before she could take it out, Sword Douluo spoke up: "Xingchen, you should still have some things to improve talent, right? I think... Ruoshui needs them."

“Uncle Jian, I would have taken it out even if you hadn’t asked,” Ning Xingchen said.

“Alright, then I’ll use my contribution points to exchange for it,” Sword Douluo said.

“Uncle Jian, it’s a bit too formal for you to talk to me like that. This is a pill made from Narcissus Jade Bone, and its effects are comparable to taking a whole Immortal-grade Narcissus Jade Bone raw. Just give it to her.”

Ning Xingchen already knew about Li Ruoshui's talent from Ning Fengzhi, which is why he came here specifically to deliver the pills.

As for Bone Douluo, Ning Xingchen also gave him a pill, but that pill was not as good as this one. Although it also had the medicinal power of a celestial-grade pill, its medicinal effect was only half that of the one he was currently using.

After all, we can't give them too much at once; we should have some, but not too much. If they want more later, they can work hard to cultivate and accumulate contribution points in the sect to exchange for it.

Only in this way can one be motivated to cultivate and contribute to the sect.

Moreover, their talents were already quite good; it was only Li Ruoshui who needed this pill more.

Including Shuiyue'er, the pill she received from Ayin was the same as the one Li Ruoshui received.

Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu, and Feng Xiaotian received the same items, but for them who were only at the Soul Master and Great Soul Master stages, it was more than enough, and their improvement should be very significant.

“Alright then, but next time I want to get it through exchange, otherwise how am I supposed to use these sect contributions, Star?” Sword Douluo said.

“Alright, then I’ll do as you say, Uncle Jian,” Ning Xingchen said.

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo already have high sect contribution points, so giving them more contribution points is equivalent to giving them pills.

"Ruoshui, take this pill. You originally had a fifth-level innate talent, and this should increase it considerably," said Sword Douluo.

"Thank you, teacher. Thank you, young master," Li Ruoshui said.

Li Ruoshui took the pill immediately after receiving it.

He then sat cross-legged and began to absorb the medicinal effects and cultivate.

Ning Xingchen looked at Chen Jianjun again and said, "Ayin and my sister will be coming over tonight. With their current soul power, they should be able to help you recover your arm."

"Okay!" Chen Jianjun nodded.

At this point, Ah Yin had already become a Soul Douluo, much stronger than when he was a Soul Saint. With the assistance of his Sea God's Light, it shouldn't be a problem for Chen Jianjun to recover his arm this time.

Moreover, with Ning Dingling assisting Ah Yin, the chances of success increase by another 10% or 20%.

While Li Ruoshui was taking the medicine, Ning Xingchen went to A Yin's place again and went to see Shui Bing'er. At this time, Ning Xingchen found that after he became a god, he seemed to have fewer things to do.

It's like finishing all your homework a few days before a long holiday in your past life, and then just starting to play.

After wandering around for a while, Ning Xingchen returned to Sword Douluo's place that evening.

At this point, Li Ruoshui had basically finished absorbing the elixir.

Before taking the pill, Li Ruoshui's soul power had just reached level 15, but after taking the pill, her soul power directly reached level 20.

Not only did his soul power increase, but his talent also improved. His martial soul remained unchanged, still the Ruoshui Sword.

Immortal-grade items don't improve the quality of all martial souls, but the Ruoshui Sword is a decent weapon martial soul with a high potential.

In the eyes of Sword Douluo and Seven Kill Douluo, martial souls are not important; what matters is the inheritance of swordsmanship. As long as one's swordsmanship cultivation improves, it can make up for some deficiencies in martial souls.

As for talent, Ning Xingchen has ways to improve it.

After her soul power reached level 20, Li Ruoshui was very excited, and even more so, she felt incredible. Even her teacher had to ask the young master Ning Xingchen for this thing, so it must be something very precious.

"Teacher, it seems my talent has improved a lot. I feel my cultivation speed is at least twice as fast as before," Li Ruoshui said.

Her natural talent isn't high, but there's plenty of room for improvement, so it can bring her more progress. On the other hand, if her talent is higher, there's less room for improvement, so the improvement will seem less.

However, in reality, even a doubling of cultivation speed from a level 5 innate soul power is still not as fast as a 20-30% increase from a level 9 innate soul power or a fully innate soul power.

"Good, very good." Sword Douluo smiled and continued, "You should thank the young master for this. This kind of pill is not cheap. You can't buy it even for a million gold soul coins outside."

"Thank you, young master!" Li Ruoshui bowed to Ning Xingchen.

In the afternoon, Ning Xingchen also went to see Feng Xiaotian. After taking the pill that had half the effect of a divine medicine, Feng Xiaotian's soul power had increased from level 24 to level 29.

Its soul power enhancement effect is quite good, increasing soul power by five levels. If it were at the Soul Master stage, those five levels might have become two or three levels.

In terms of potential, the medicine's effects may be limited, and the improvement may be small. According to Feng Xiaotian, the cultivation speed has increased somewhat, but not much.

Although it's less than 10%, it's still more than 5%. One reason is that the drug's effect is too weak, and another reason is that he himself has a high level of talent.

As for Li Ruoshui, level 20 is just the beginning. Once she absorbs the soul ring, she can jump several more levels, since the Narcissus Jade Bone itself is quite effective at increasing soul power.

Ning Xingchen faced Li Ruoshui and said, "You are Jian Shu's disciple and a member of the sect, so there's no need for thanks."

Sword Douluo said, "Ruoshui, go back to your room to consolidate your cultivation. I'll take you to find your second soul ring in a couple of days."

"Wait!" Ning Xingchen suddenly called out to Li Ruoshui, "Uncle Jian, I added whale glue to the sect contribution exchange. It's available for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. Ruoshui can use some."

“Alright!” Sword Douluo nodded and continued, “Then we’ll go look for the spirit rings a little later.”

This left Li Ruoshui completely bewildered, as she had no idea what whale glue was.

Not long after Li Ruoshui returned, Ning Dingling and A Yin arrived, followed closely by Bone Douluo.

They all wanted to witness the recovery of Seven Kill Douluo Chen Jianjun's arm.

About an hour later, the group arrived at Sunset Forest and found a space in the dense forest.

The reason for coming to Sunset Forest is that this forest is a paradise for plant spirit beasts, and Blue Silver Grass is everywhere. If there is any unexpected situation, Ah Yin can also use the power of the surrounding Blue Silver Grass.

Seven Kill Douluo sat cross-legged in the middle, with a soul bone that had fallen from his arm before, a 50,000-year-old right arm bone, placed beside him.

This soul bone was also one of the keys to his arm's recovery.

This time, Ning Xingchen, Ning Dingling, and A Yin worked together.

First is Ning Dingling, who is now a Soul Douluo with a support effect of 90%.

Ning Dingling released her martial soul, then activated her soul skill, which helped A Yin increase her overall attributes and individual soul power by 90%.

This is just the beginning; it's not time to activate the Martial Soul True Form yet. After all, the Martial Soul consumes a lot of Soul Power, so it should only be used when Ah Yin is about to give up.

With the help of Ning Xingchen's Sea God's Light, Ah Yin also released her Martial Soul True Form.

A powerful life force began to exert its strength, and new flesh grew on Chen Jianjun's arm, which began to fuse with the soul bone as it grew.

Moreover, it grows very rapidly.
