Chapter 122 Man and Sword as One!
Little did he know, his destined partner had already embarked on a more glorious path, one that was increasingly distant from his own.
Inside the Beidou Academy.
Lu Xiao helped Zhu Zhuqing transform her martial soul, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, ripples quietly spreading.
Meanwhile, above the sky, the announcement of the Soul Master Power Ranking continued.
An even more intense ranking was about to be revealed.
Above the sky.
The golden light did not falter in the slightest due to the ripples at Beidou Academy, continuing to flow and converge at its inherent rhythm.
Under the gaze of countless increasingly fervent and expectant eyes, the information of the twelfth place began to slowly condense and take shape within the dazzling golden light.
[Ranking 12th on the Soul Master Power Ranking]
[Name: Chen Xin]
[Affiliation: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School]
[Soul Power Level: 97]
[Martial Soul: Seven Kill Sword]
[Soul Ring Configuration: Purple, Purple, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black]
[Combat Power Evaluation: Dedicated to the sword throughout his life, he has reached the highest realm of unity between man and sword. His Seven Kill Sword Intent is incomparably sharp, and nothing can withstand its edge. His self-created soul skills 'Unity of Man and Sword', 'Unity of Body and Sword', and 'Unity of Heart and Sword' progressively enhance his attack power to the extreme, making him a top-tier titled Douluo of the power-attack type. Therefore, he is ranked 12th.]
[Rewards: All soul rings' age increased by 5,000 years, soul power increased by 1 level, the purity and penetration of the Seven Kill Sword Intent permanently increased by 30%, a 40,000-year soul bone, and a slight increase in understanding of the 'Rules of the Sword'.]
"Twelfth place! Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Sword Douluo Chen Xin!"
"Level 97! Ultimate attack power!"
"Man and sword as one! This is the realm that countless sword-wielding soul masters dream of!"
"Ranked after Azure Phoenix Douluo, but before Lion Douluo! This ranking acknowledges his ultimate attack power!"
"The reward is an enhancement of sword intent and comprehension of rules! This is perfect for Sword Douluo!"
"..."
The entire continent was once again in an uproar!
Sword Douluo Chen Xin was renowned for his unparalleled attack power.
His inclusion on the list and in such a high position was both unexpected and perfectly reasonable.
The unexpected reason was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, renowned for its support abilities.
The logical reason was his formidable reputation for "offensive power"—it was simply too famous!
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
When he saw his name appear twelfth, even the usually aloof Chen Xin, gripping the Seven Kill Sword, tightened his grip slightly.
Feeling the pure energy of heaven and earth flowing into his body, his soul power instantly broke through to level ninety-eight.
His understanding of the "sword" seemed to have cleared away a layer of fog, becoming clearer and more profound.
The Seven Kill Sword Intent was condensed to a tangible form, radiating a sharp aura that caused the surrounding space to tremble slightly.
He slowly closed his eyes, carefully comprehending the profound understanding of the "rules of the sword."
After a long while, he opened them. A flash of sword light seemed to appear in his eyes.
He looked at Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong beside him, their faces beaming with joy, and nodded slightly: "Twelfth place...acceptable."
His tone was calm.
But Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong, who knew him well, could hear the barely concealed satisfaction in his tone.
This ranking was the greatest affirmation of his lifelong dedication to the sword!
Bone Douluo Gu Rong cackled, "You old bastard, not bad! Twelfth place! Now let's see who dares to say that my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School only has support!"
"You old bones... oh no, you old sword, you finally didn't disgrace the sect!"
Ning Fengzhi was even more excited, patting Chen Xin's shoulder forcefully, "Uncle Sword, congratulations! This is a great joy for my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"
"With you here, our sect has nothing to worry about!"
Sword Douluo's great improvement in strength meant that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's top combat power had been enhanced once again.
In this chaotic world, it was undoubtedly a shot in the arm.
Spirit Hall, Hall of Offerings.
Looking at Chen Xin's ranking, Guangling Douluo curled his lip: "Hmph, just a madman who focuses all his energy on attack. In terms of overall strength and understanding of other aspects, how can he compare to me?"
He was still somewhat resentful that he was ranked nineteenth while Chen Xin was ranked twelfth.
Qingluan Douluo was relatively calm, analyzing: "The Heavenly Curtain's judgment has its own standards. Chen Xin has taken 'attack' to near perfection, and his threat level is indeed extremely high."
"Ranking him twelfth is reasonable, but..."
His gaze swept over the unannounced top eleven, his tone grave.
"This means that there are eleven people ahead of him, whose strength is even greater than his!"
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the Hall of Worship tightened once more.
Even Chen Xin, who had pushed his attacks to the limit, could only rank twelfth.
What kind of monsters must the top eleven be?
Qian Daoliu's golden eyes flashed, lost in thought.
The Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong looked at Chen Xin's ranking, her eyes icy: "Chen Xin, the guardian sword of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. His attack power is indeed remarkable, but unfortunately, his vision is too narrow, and he will ultimately fail to achieve great things."
"However, ranking twelfth...it seems that Beidou Academy will occupy at least five of the top ten spots."
Bibi Dong calculated in her mind, the pressure increasing sharply.
She had originally estimated that Beidou Academy would be lucky to have two people in the top ten.
Now it seemed that it would be far more than that.
Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.
Gu Yuena looked at the sky, a hint of understanding flashing in her silver-purple eyes.
"An extreme attack, abandoning everything else... human soul masters do possess a certain decisiveness."
"Such individuals, if not killed in one strike, will have endless consequences."
She paid sufficient attention to opponents like Chen Xin, who had perfected a particular aspect.
Di Tian said in a deep voice, "My lord, among humans, those who focus on one path are few, but they often unleash astonishing power."
"If a full-scale war breaks out with humans in the future, such individuals must be eliminated first."
Seagod Island.
Tang Chen looked at Chen Xin's ranking and nodded slightly: "I heard of Chen Xin back then. To cultivate swordsmanship to such a level is truly remarkable."
"The Clear Sky Hammer is known for its domineering power; in terms of pure attack and penetration, it is comparable to his Seven Kill Sword."
"Ranking him twelfth is not an insult to him."
Poseidon said softly, "With him in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the sect can at least be guaranteed a hundred years of peace. I just wonder how many such heroes are among the top ten?"
Beidou Academy.
Everyone also saw the ranking of Sword Douluo.
Li Bai took a sip of wine and exclaimed, "Sincere in swordsmanship, supreme in swordsmanship, this man is single-minded and pure in his swordsmanship. He is indeed a respectable opponent."
"We could discuss swordsmanship over wine sometime," Sun Wukong scratched his head. "Hehe, sounds like a tough opponent. I'd like to test him sometime and see if his sword is sharper or my staff is stronger!"
Zhu Zhuqing, who had just completed her martial soul transformation, looked at the rankings of the top experts on the sky.
Especially those like Sword Douluo, who had pushed their path to its extreme, her beautiful eyes shone with determination.
She gently stroked her new, powerful "Dark Night Cat" martial soul, secretly resolving, "One day, my name, Zhu Zhuqing, will also be on this list of the strongest!"
Lu Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Chen Xin's information and nodding slightly.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin was one of the characters he greatly admired in the original work.
Being ranked twelfth was well-deserved.
"The top ten will be announced soon."
Lu Xiao's gaze was profound. "Golden Crocodile, Tang Chen, Poseidon, Bibi Dong... and the people of my Beidou Academy, the competition for these top ten will be a true battle of dragons and tigers."
He seemed to already see the impending ranking sequence, enough to silence the entire continent.
As if to confirm Lu Xiao's thoughts, the golden light above the sky, after announcing the twelfth place, did not immediately continue upward.
Instead, it suddenly became even more intense and magnificent!
The entire Douluo Continent, whether in human kingdoms or soul beast territories, whether among top experts or ordinary soul masters, held their breath, their hearts pounding involuntarily.
An invisible, heart-pounding sense of oppression spread with the surging golden light.
Everyone knew that the main event had arrived!
After the eleventh place on the Soul Master Power Ranking!
The top ten would be revealed!
That represented the true pinnacle of the Douluo Continent.
Standing above billions of living beings, the sequence of the strongest!
