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

Sword Douluo quickly finished reading the book on basic sword techniques, since it only contained thirty-six moves, also known as the Thirty-Six Basic Sword Techniques.

Ning Xingchen said, "It's only half a month. It's just basic swordsmanship, it's quite simple."

Even Sword Douluo was speechless at how simple that was.

Sword techniques are easy to learn; one can master them in half a month. But to use them to the level of Ning Xingchen is no simple feat.

In his battle with Ning Xingchen just now, putting aside strength and soul power, just in terms of techniques, he had encountered no more than ten sword-wielding opponents who could surpass Ning Xingchen.

And which of these people didn't spend most of their lives learning and cultivating themselves?

Ning Xingchen, however, only took half a month.

"Star, in terms of swordsmanship talent, I am not as good as you."

"Back then, my father also summarized the basic moves of swordsmanship, but he only summarized eighteen moves. It seems that our swordsmanship has not yet surpassed that of the ancients."

Ning Xingchen aged the book, and the date was noted on the book: 2267 of the Tiandou Calendar, written by Li Chungang.

It is now the year 2613 of the Tiandou calendar, which is more than 300 years ago.

"But how come I've never heard of this Li Chungang?"

Sword Douluo asked in confusion, "Our family also has a tradition, with records of ancient and modern sword-wielding families or sword masters."

But I've never heard of a swordsman named Li Chungang.

Ning Xingchen said, "I don't know about what happened more than three hundred years ago. Perhaps this Senior Li Chungang's soul power wasn't high, but his comprehension of swordsmanship was?"

"What you said, Star, is possible. Can I take your basic sword technique back and study it?" Sword Douluo said in a low voice, seemingly a little embarrassed.

"Uncle Jian, you can take it and use it. I've already mastered it. But I'd appreciate it if you could practice with me more often in the future, so that my skills can improve faster."

With Sword Douluo as a resource by my side, I should naturally make the most of it.

“Alright, Xingchen and I will practice together. It seems my swordsmanship can still improve a bit,” Sword Douluo said.

Chapter 11 The Sect's Predicament

With Sword Douluo, a master swordsman, training him, Ning Xingchen's swordsmanship improved rapidly.

At night, he cultivates the Star Sword Body using the power of the stars.

During the day, he cultivates his soul power and practices swordsmanship.

However, the power of stars and the power of soul seem to be separate.

Each time the power of the stars entered her body, Ning Xingchen couldn't control it, as if the power of the stars was only used to cultivate the Star Sword Body.

Ning Xingchen guessed that he was not yet at the point where he could fully control the power of the stars.

Fortunately, the Star Sword absorbs the power of the stars almost automatically at night.

Absorbing the power of the stars to cultivate the Star Sword Body is almost the same as resting; otherwise, he really wouldn't have time to cultivate his soul power during the day.

Time passed by day by day.

Because he was still young, and because he knew that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School did not face any major crises at this time, he was still young.

Therefore, Ning Xingchen paid no attention to sect affairs and devoted himself entirely to cultivation.

Just six months after Ning Xingchen awakened his martial soul!

In the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Palace, Ning Dingling looked at the letter in her hand with a solemn expression.

"Sect Master, this is the third time this month that the sect's caravan has been attacked. All thirty-six sect disciples have been killed, and the sect has suffered a loss of one million gold soul coins."

"Sect Master, the Heavenly Dou Empire requires us to forge another three thousand sets of knight armor, to be completed within three months."

"Sect Master, the invitations from the Haotian Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect have been delivered, and both sect masters have indicated that they will attend on time."

"metropolitan……"

A series of tasks were giving Ning Dingling a headache.

Of course, this is still considered good; the most difficult years are over.

Ning Dingling said, "Comfort the disciples who sacrificed their lives in the sect, double the compensation, and order the sect disciples to suspend their activities for the time being."

"These three thousand sets of knight armor are to inform the Heavenly Dou Empire that the sect has suffered heavy losses recently and is short of materials, so this mission cannot be accepted. Wait... do not reply for now."

"Feng Zhi, you will arrange the affairs of the Haotian Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. Third Elder, you will assist Feng Zhi."

"in addition……"

Ning Dingling was helpless against a series of arrangements, such as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's caravan being intercepted.

Perhaps the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is a symbol of wealth on the continent, and intercepting a caravan of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is enough to make many Soul Masters rich.

Therefore, some unscrupulous Soul Masters on the mainland are eyeing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which may be the deliberate doing of certain forces.

Despite being overwhelmed with troubles in the sect's main hall.

But returning to her own little home is when she feels most relaxed.

After all, her greatest wish has been fulfilled. Not only has Ning Xingchen's injury healed, but his talent is also the best in the history of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and he is also among the most outstanding on the continent.

Every day when I return home, all the worries of the sect are swept away.

But this couldn't escape Ning Xingchen's notice.

"Sister, is something bothering you today?"

At the dinner table, Ning Xingchen asked the question directly.

However, before Ning Dingling could respond, Ning Fengzhi said, "Another team from the sect has been attacked. This is the third time."

"And then there's Xueye from the Heavenly Dou Empire, who wants to exploit my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School again, forcing us to forge weapons and armor for them at a loss."

"Fengzhi, why are you telling Xingchen all this? He's still young, he doesn't need to concern himself with sect affairs so early," Ning Dingling said, looking at Ning Fengzhi with some anger.

In the future, he wanted to give Ning Xingchen a complete and powerful sect, not the troublesome one it was now.

"Sister, I...I was wrong." Ning Fengzhi also realized that he shouldn't have told Ning Xingchen these things.

After all, Ning Xingchen has only recently recovered and is currently focused on cultivation; he shouldn't be disturbed by these trivial matters.

"Xingchen, don't listen to Fengzhi. These things are very easy to handle," Ning Dingling said in a relaxed manner.

“Yes, Xingchen, I’m also helping my sister with this, and there are no problems at all,” Ning Fengzhi said.

Ning Xingchen was even more annoyed by Ning Fengzhi's words.

Moreover, Ning Dingling has been noticeably busier lately, and she looks rather haggard.

"Sister, brother, tell me, maybe I have a good idea?" Ning Xingchen said.

Ning Dingling looked at Ning Xingchen with concern and said, "Xingchen, your task is to take good care of your health and cultivate diligently. Leave everything else to me and your older brother. You can participate in sect affairs when you are older. For now, we are enough."

“Yes, we’re enough.” Ning Fengzhi patted his chest and said.

"Sister, brother, since you don't want me to participate, then I won't." Ning Xingchen picked up a large mouthful of food and put it in her bowl before continuing to eat.

Ning Dingling's face showed a hint of relief upon seeing this.

Ning Xingchen has had a tough time these past few years, and she couldn't bear to see Ning Xingchen, who was so young, involved in the affairs of the sect.

They had only been eating half of their dinner when someone from the sect came to deliver a message. Ning Dingling and Ning Fengzhi read the message and immediately left.

If nothing is wrong with the sect, how could this happen?

So, a few minutes after they left, Ning Xingchen quietly went to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Palace.

Just then, the guards of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Palace recognized Ning Xingchen and made a shushing gesture to quiet him. Ning Xingchen then eavesdropped through the crack in the doorway.

Inside the hall, Ning Dingling cried out angrily, "Who exactly is targeting my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, repeatedly attacking and killing my sect's teams?"

Ning Fengzhi said, "Sister, this is the fourth time this month. I think we can have Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu disguise themselves and blend into the group, then turn the tables and kill them to see who they really are."

“Fengzhi, that’s a good idea, but it’s not suitable right now,” Ning Dingling said.

"Sister, why is that?" Ning Fengzhi asked in confusion.

Ning Dingling said, "More than five years ago, the sect's number one elder had a soul power of level ninety-five at its peak. There were also four Soul Douluos in his team. With my father's assistance, they wouldn't be afraid even if they encountered a level ninety-six Title Douluo. But that time..."

At this point, Ning Dingling paused for a moment before continuing, "These people might be eyeing the sect right now. Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu can't stray too far from the sect on their own. It would be too dangerous for them to go alone."

"Yes, I didn't think of that," Ning Fengzhi said, blaming himself.

Ning Xingchen, standing at the door, was also puzzled. Who was targeting them?

He didn't see it in the shows he'd watched; it's definitely in his area of ​​ignorance.

Or is it that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is too rich, and its success attracts attention?

“Sister, and the Heavenly Dou Empire too. Back then, we only sought their protection temporarily, so it didn’t matter if our sect suffered some losses. But in recent years, they have become increasingly brazen, even forcing you to submit. Why don’t we have Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu teach them a lesson and restore our sect’s prestige?” Ning Fengzhi said.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is different now than it was a few years ago. After all, with two Title Douluos, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, the school has gained confidence.

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo both nodded and said, "Feng Zhi's idea is good. The Heaven Dou royal family should indeed be taught a lesson."

The way Sword Douluo looked at Ning Dingling on that snowy night was truly lewd. If he hadn't had some reservations, he would have wanted to kill her with a single sword strike long ago.

"No, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School cannot afford to make any more enemies," Ning Dingling said solemnly.

"It's unclear whether there are powerful external enemies. It would be unwise to further strain relations with the Heavenly Dou Empire."

"Then what should we do? Are we really just going to let ourselves be manipulated?" Ning Fengzhi asked rhetorically.

"Wait... let's deal with the hidden enemies first," Ning Dingling said.

Seeing Ning Dingling so worried, Sword Douluo seemed to have made a decision in his heart.

"How about we ask my father to come out of seclusion? He is a peak Douluo and should be able to deal with the current predicament of the sect."

Chapter 12 Ning Xingchen's Reminder

"Uncle Sword, is this true?" Ning Dingling asked Sword Douluo, her eyes filled with hope.

The sect desperately needs a more powerful expert to take charge.

Although Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo are strong enough, the enemy is lurking in the shadows, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School needs even greater power.

This is one of the solutions to the current predicament, and it is the simplest and most direct one.
