Chapter 16: Fighting Again
Following Chen Xin and leaving the hall, Chen Yuan was still thinking about what Ning Fengzhi had just said.

Just half a month later, Xue Qinghe, the eldest prince of the Tiandou Empire, will come to become Ning Fengzhi's disciple.

In Ning Fengzhi's view, this is a great opportunity for the sect to interfere with the empire and further develop.

But the eldest prince Xue Qinghe is not a real prince, but an undercover agent of the Spirit Hall, the daughter of the former Pope Qian Xunji and the current Pope Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue.

Chen Yuan sighed in his heart, while I am growing rapidly under the protection of my teacher, the world plot is also constantly moving forward. It seems that I need to speed up my own development.

As for reminding Ning Fengzhi, he didn't want to do so as it would easily bring unnecessary danger to himself. So he just let things take their course and seek opportunities to improve his strength. This was the key to dealing with the future.

It was already late at this time, and the master and disciple returned to the courtyard where they lived. Chen Xin ordered the kitchen to start cooking and made some food for himself and Chen Yuan. After they had eaten their fill, they went back to their rooms to practice.

Although Chen Xin is already a Titled Douluo, he has never slacked off in his cultivation and has never stopped meditating every night.

Chen Yuan always had a sense of urgency in his heart, so even though he absorbed the second soul ring and became a great soul master today, he did not forget to practice.

As the night deepened, the night passed quickly...

The next day!

Chen Yuan still woke up early and went to the training ground to start training, but he did not use an eight-jin iron sword, but a sixteen-jin iron sword.

Now that he has absorbed the second soul ring, which is a thousand-year soul ring, his physical fitness has improved again, so the intensity of his training must naturally keep up.

After he completed 300 sword-swinging exercises with a -jin iron sword, he was sweating profusely but was not so tired that he did not want to move.

Just after Chen Yuan took a short break, Chen Xin, who was watching from the side, came out and said:
"Yuan'er, let's have actual combat training today. You absorbed the second soul ring yesterday. I want to see how much your strength has improved. Also, I will be a little more serious today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xin raised his right hand, and as the light in his hand flickered, a Seven Killing Sword appeared in his hand. Then, under his feet, two yellow, two purple, and five black, nine soul rings rose up and swirled around, which was extremely terrifying. This was the pressure of a Titled Douluo.

Chen Yuan was a little surprised, but more of a delight. It was just in time for him to see how strong he was through his teacher's hands.

He then put back the iron sword used for training, stretched out his hand and grabbed the Seven Killing Sword, and two soul rings, one yellow and one purple, rose from under his feet.

Chen Yuan could feel the heavy pressure from Chen Xin, so he used all his strength and shouted:
"Teacher, I'm not polite. The first soul skill is the long sword. The second soul skill is the boiling killing intent!"

Under Chen Yuan's feet, two soul rings, one yellow and one purple, flashed one after another. Many invisible air currents swirled around his Seven Kill Sword, and the sharp blade was swept with a touch of scarlet. Wisps of murderous intent were transmitted from the sword to himself. Under such stimulation, the blood in his body seemed to be burning. A murderous intent rushed straight to his brain, causing his eyes to turn blood red.

His body size did not expand much, but one could clearly feel that he was different now, as if he was an emotionless killing machine.

Strength, speed, resistance... all are increased by 100%, and even the pain sensation throughout the body is greatly reduced. This is truly a killing machine.

"Hu~~"

The surging power flowed through his body, and Chen Yuan felt better than ever before. He even wanted to enjoy the pleasure of using the Seven Killing Swords to tear the enemy apart. Bang!
Chen Yuan stomped the ground with his right foot, and strong winds spread out in all directions. He then used the rebounding force to rush towards Chen Xin at an extremely fast speed with terrifying ferocity.

Chen Xin frowned slightly, looking at Chen Yuan, whose eyes had turned blood red and whose whole body was filled with murderous aura. Although the amplification of this soul skill was exaggerated, if it really had too much impact on the mental state, it would become a life-threatening tactic.

When Chen Yuan came close, Chen Xin quickly drew his sword, and he was the first to arrive, holding it horizontally in front of him. With a ding sound, it collided with Chen Yuan's Seven Killing Sword.

Chen Xin estimated that the power transmitted by Chen Yuan's Seven Killing Sword reached more than 400 kilograms. Although Chen Yuan was only about eight years old, this strength was no less than that of an adult.

But compared to Chen Xin, this strength was not enough. As he exerted force, Chen Yuan was knocked back.

After flying seven or eight meters in the air, Chen Yuan stabilized his body balance. After landing, he bent his legs slightly and used the force to rush towards Chen Xin again.

There seemed to be no emotion in Chen Yuan's blood-red eyes, but he was not without reason. His steps were still orderly, and he performed the Seven Killing Sword Techniques, striking, stabbing, collapsing, pressing, lifting, chopping, wiping, and slicing... every move was extremely aggressive.

Chen Xin was very surprised. Although he could suppress Chen Yuan steadily, he was a Titled Douluo. He was sure that even a Soul Master could not suppress his disciple.

Then he swung his sword, sweeping away Chen Yuan and sending him flying. Chen Xin shouted in a deep voice:
"That's enough, Yuan'er, stop attacking, I already know your strength!"

After he finished speaking, Chen Xin looked at Chen Yuan. He wanted to know if Chen Yuan could control this soul skill.

At this time, Chen Yuan took three heavy breaths and then closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his blood-red eyes had turned back to black and white. The strength in his body gradually dissipated, and a feeling of fatigue quickly surged up.

"teacher!"

Chen Xin finally smiled. He was no longer controlled by the soul skills and was free from the influence of the murderous intent. Chen Yuan was very satisfied with this.

He then retracted his martial spirit, and Chen Xin looked at Chen Yuan and said:

"Very good. Your first and second soul skills can make you burst out with the fighting power of a soul master. You have also learned the Seven Killing Sword Technique to a small extent. In close combat, few people can get any advantage from you. As for the Killing Technique, when you can use the 64-jin iron sword as easily as your arm and wield it freely, you will also master the Killing Technique."

"Yuan'er, at present, I am very satisfied with you. What you need to do in the future is to study hard and practice diligently to truly master them."

Chen Yuan also retracted his martial spirit and said respectfully:
"I have to thank the teacher for his careful teaching."

Chen Xin stood with his hands behind his back, and after thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice:

"Our family has another unique skill that we have passed down, and I will pass it on to you now. However, you are not strong enough to use it now."

"This unique inherited skill is called Ring Refining. As the name suggests, it is to directly refine the soul ring. Soul ring is actually a kind of energy. We usually cannot use all of it when using soul skills. However, if we refine the soul ring as energy and put it into the martial soul, we can gain power beyond the limit."

"This is very difficult. If you want to suppress the spirit ring as energy, your own spirit power must be strong enough. Even as a teacher, I cannot do it now..."
