Chapter 13 Two and a Half Years of Training
In the following days, Chen Yuan was so addicted to the whale glue that he became sick of it, and his physical condition continued to strengthen.

But when the physical condition was strengthened to a certain extent, the effects of hundred-year-old whale glue and thousand-year-old whale glue began to become lower and lower, and Chen Yuan gradually stopped eating them.

Even without eating whale glue, Chen Yuan was slowly strengthening his physique through exercise. The iron sword he used for training changed from one kilogram in weight at the beginning to two kilograms, then to four kilograms, and then to eight kilograms. His growth can be seen from his constant changing of swords.

After two and a half years of practice, Chen Yuan finally broke through to the 20th level of soul power. On the same day, he told Chen Xin the good news.

Chen Xin was so happy that he brought Chen Yuan to the main hall of the main peak and told Ning Fengzhi the news:

"Master, my disciple has broken through to level 20 in spirit power. In the next few days, I will take him out to select and hunt a suitable spirit beast as the second spirit ring!"

Ning Fengzhi had no reason to refuse Chen Xin's request. With a smile on his face, he looked at Chen Yuan with a gentle and elegant expression, praising him and saying:

"At the age of eight, she has already broken through to level 20 of soul power. Not bad, very good. If only Rongrong were as diligent as you, she would be great. She only has level 18 soul power now."

Although Chen Yuan was only eight years old, he had whale glue to improve his physique. After hard training, he was already 1.6 meters tall. His slightly childish face was full of heroism. Upon hearing this, he said loudly:

"Master, I am a combat spirit master, so it is normal for me to cultivate faster. Rongrong is an auxiliary spirit master, so his cultivation speed is not slow at all."

Ning Fengzhi looked helpless, but was very satisfied in his heart. He waved his hand and said with a wry smile:

"You, making excuses for her like this, are just like Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu. Rongrong will be spoiled by you sooner or later."

After a conversation, Chen Xin took Chen Yuan away from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Flying high in the sky, Chen Xin thought for a moment and then said:

"Yuan'er, according to the configuration of my spirit rings, the first two spirit rings have one attack and one defense, the long sword strikes out, and the spirit sword guards. The combination is relatively balanced. For your second spirit ring, my suggestion is also to hunt a defensive spirit beast."

Chen Yuan did not say that it was all up to the teacher, but after careful consideration, he said:
"Teacher, one attack and one defense is indeed a balanced combination, but in fact, further strengthening the sharpness of the Seven Killing Sword should also have a good effect. If conditions permit, you can also hunt a soul beast with fangs, claws, or large horns."

At this time, Chen Yuan showed confidence and said firmly:

"And it's best if this soul beast is more than a thousand years old. Teacher, you know me. My current physical fitness is not worse than those of level 30 soul masters. It is not impossible for me to absorb a thousand-year soul ring."

Chen Xin looked at Chen Yuan deeply. He was not a person who was inflexible. Although he himself followed the balanced school, he would not stop his disciples from strengthening their sharpness and gaining ultimate attack capabilities.

But he still asked seriously:
"Yuan'er, you can choose the type of soul beast, but as for the age of the soul beast, are you sure you want a thousand-year-old soul beast? Even if it's a nine-hundred-year-old soul beast, I don't think you will be in any danger. But if it's a thousand-year-old soul beast, there may still be risks."

Chen Yuan nodded firmly upon hearing this:

"Teacher, I have been training hard for the past two years just to surpass the limit of my second soul ring. Moreover, this is only a transcendence of a hundred to a thousand years, not a transcendence of a thousand to ten thousand years. There is no soul impact, only energy impact. If the body is strong enough, it can be resisted."

Chen Xin saw that he was determined, so he finally agreed:
"Since you insist, then let's do this. If you can really succeed, then you will break the common sense of the soul master world." Chen Yuan smiled and said:

"Thank you teacher for making it possible."

Chen Xin shook his head and then changed the direction of flight:
"This is your own choice. If you want a good thousand-year soul beast as your second soul ring, there aren't many choices in those ordinary soul hunting forests. Soul beasts that are over a thousand years old should be selected in wild soul beast forests. Go to the Sunset Forest. It is the wild soul beast forest with the richest soul beast resources in the Tiandou Empire, except for the Star Dou Forest."

After making the decision, Chen Xin quickly arrived at the Sunset Forest at his speed. However, at this moment, Chen Xin frowned. He sensed an extremely powerful aura in the forest. Although it was weaker than his own, it was also at the level of a Titled Douluo.

He had to determine whether he was an unknown strong man or a friend, so he immediately descended following the breath.

After falling to the ground, Chen Xin and Chen Yuan also saw the owner of the breath.

He was an old man with long dark green hair, skinny cheeks and gloomy eyes, but the aura he exuded was so terrifying that people dared not look him in the eye.

At the same time, next to this old man, there was a girl who was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a good figure and delicate face. Her short purple hair and green eyes exuded an exotic charm.

Seeing this pair of people, Chen Yuan immediately understood their identities: Dugu Bo, the famous enemy in Douluo Continent, and his granddaughter Dugu Yan.

He guarded a treasure mountain, and finally gave the entire treasure mountain to others. The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, as well as the magical herbs around the Yin-Yang Eye, all ended up being taken by outsiders, and not a single one was left.

Chen Xin also recognized the other party, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo. Although he was weaker than himself, he was definitely one of the most difficult to deal with in the continent. With his terrifying poison skills, he was almost invincible under the title.

He was somewhat wary of this person, so he took the initiative to speak:
"So it's you, Yuan'er. This is Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, who is also a Titled Douluo. You must not be presumptuous in front of him, and you must not show respect."

Chen Yuan knew that Chen Xin's words were, firstly, to let him know the other party, and secondly, to let the other party know him, so as to get to know each other. He also took the initiative to step forward and salute:

"Junior Chen Yuan greets His Majesty Dugu!"

Dugu Bo's eyes flickered and he looked at Chen Yuan deeply. He memorized this face in his heart. Even if he knew him, he would not make things difficult for him in the future.

Chen Xin is somewhat wary of Dugu Bo, and Dugu Bo is even more wary of Chen Xin. One is the other party's strength, and the other is the other party's forces, both of which are stronger than his own.

Dugu Bo smiled. Although the smile was a little scary, it also showed that he had no hostility:
"Sword Dao Chen Xin, you are still as charming as ever. I brought my granddaughter here to hunt soul beasts, and it seems that you do the same. Yanyan, come out and say hello."

Dugu Yan learned of Chen Xin's identity and without the slightest hesitation, he immediately came out to pay his respects and said:
"Junior Dugu Yan greets His Majesty Chen Xin!"

Chen Xin nodded in greeting and also remembered Dugu Yan.
