Chapter 17 The New Elder
Bone Douluo warned, "Kid, don't be fooled by this bastard. His martial soul has so many spirit rings; its weight alone is nearly ten thousand jin. How do you expect to fight him?"
"Shut up, you old bone! Do you think I can't just use my soul skills and not directly confront Chen Feng with my martial soul?" Sword Douluo frowned. What Bone Douluo thought of, he naturally thought of as well.
In this way, without direct confrontation between martial souls, even if Sword Douluo's Seven Kill Sword is of the best quality, it will not have an advantage in physical confrontation. Chen Feng can use soul power to make up for the gap, which is the most suitable solution.
Dust Wind also agreed.
Sword Douluo gathered his energy, and the blade of his sword emitted a blue sword light. Even without using soul power, one could feel the powerful killing intent emanating from it.
"Seven Kill Sword Technique!"
Sword Douluo wielded the Seven Kill Sword, each stroke forming a single "kill" character in the void. This was a pure Seven Kill Sword Technique, a self-created soul skill, without any enhancement of soul power.
Meanwhile, Chen Feng also took a breath and etched the same "kill" character. At the same time, he activated "Swiftness" in succession, using the Seven Kill Sword to push the "kill" character to collide with Sword Douluo's "kill" character.
"when!"
Both characters for "kill" contained terrifying power, and after they collided, they produced a heavy metallic clang, like two large bells striking each other.
Although Chen Feng is only at the Soul Master level, the age of his Soul Rings is incomparable to that of ordinary Soul Masters. With the support of his Soul Power, his Killing Sword is like a newly forged divine weapon, and it even has the feeling of penetrating heavy armor. This comes from Chen Feng's second Soul Ring, an eight-hundred-year-old pangolin that gave the Seven Killing Sword the armor-piercing attribute.
In contrast, Sword Douluo's "Kill" was vast, powerful, and incredibly profound, like an unstoppable meteorite falling.
For a time, the two sides were locked in a stalemate.
"What?"
Sword Douluo was utterly astonished.
No one knew better than him how powerful that "kill" was. Even without the support of soul power and only using 30% of his strength, its power was probably something even a Soul King wouldn't dare to easily withstand. Yet, Chen Feng caught it just like that.
What shocked him even more was that Chen Feng's "kill" character clearly had a stronger penetrating power. After only a short time of resistance, his own "kill" character quickly collapsed, while Chen Feng's "kill" character took two seconds longer to gradually dissipate.
"How did they do that?" Sword Douluo was stunned.
Ning Fengzhi was also taken aback. Someone had actually defeated Sword Douluo in the way of the sword? Was he seeing things?
Bone Douluo clapped and cheered; he was happy to see Sword Douluo suffer a setback.
Chen Feng sheathed his sword and stood there. The outcome was now decided. He had gone too far with his high-profile actions and needed to save face for Sword Douluo and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Luckily! Grandpa Jian's 'Kill' character was merely carved out using a soul skill. Without the support of soul power, it naturally wouldn't last long. My 'Kill' character, however, is the complete Seven Kill Sword Technique and is enhanced by soul power. Naturally, I won in the final confrontation."
Chen Feng said this while also trying to cover up Sword Douluo's defeat.
Sword Douluo walked over and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "You don't need to make excuses for me. A loss is a loss. It's not like I can't accept defeat."
Ning Fengzhi nodded and said, "Truly, the younger generation is formidable! Chen Feng, I'm willing to honor my bet. From now on, you are an honorary elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. On behalf of the sect, I welcome you to join us!"
"metropolitan!"
Chen Feng immediately bowed slightly as a sign of courtesy.
Ning Fengzhi looked Chen Feng up and down, making no attempt to hide his fondness for the young man.
Chen Feng, however, was about 1.75 meters tall. Soul Masters develop much faster than ordinary people, so apart from his youthful face, he looked almost like an adult.
Dressed in simple black clothes, his tall and well-proportioned figure exuded an air of proud excellence, along with a chilling aloofness. This seemed to be a common trait among those who possessed the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul, and Sword Douluo appeared to be no exception.
"By the way, Chenfeng, not long ago outside the city gate, you used the Soul Bone skill, right?" Ning Fengzhi said, looking at the tear on the back of Chenfeng's clothes.
Not long after releasing the Eight Spider Lances, Chen Feng, without even having time to change his clothes, came over to spar with the Sword Douluo.
Chen Feng nodded and said, "It is a soul bone, but it is an external soul bone."
Chen Feng didn't hide anything. He and Sword Douluo were of the same clan and had a blood relationship. With Sword Douluo around, what was there to fear about accidents?
"External soul bone?" Ning Fengzhi seemed to suddenly remember something, and exchanged a glance with Sword Bone Douluo.
"Is it that legendary external soul bone that can improve in quality as the soul master grows?" Ning Fengzhi asked, his eyes wide.
This is a priceless treasure! I'd only ever heard of it before, never seen it, and today I finally have.
Chen Feng smiled slightly and did not deny it.
Sword Douluo nodded and said, "I was wondering why you wanted to absorb the soul bone of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, since it doesn't fit the Seven Kill Sword at all. Now that I see it's an external soul bone, it makes sense."
External soul bones are additional soul bones outside of the six major soul bones. They do not affect the quality of the martial soul. On the contrary, having external soul bones can enhance one's strength to a certain extent, which is like adding icing on the cake.
Bone Douluo chuckled and said, "Sword Old Ghost's Seven Kill Sword has always been passed down through a single lineage. I never expected that a branch of the family would have such a genius. It's truly rare!"
Sword Douluo glanced at him and said, "If you're not satisfied, you can go find someone in your own home."
Bone Douluo immediately shut his mouth. Where could one find such a monstrous young man? Even he himself couldn't have done it when he was young. Not to mention that external soul bone, even that second soul ring of a thousand years was quite amazing.
That's not all. Not only was the equipment good, but the soul skills were also so well-trained that even Sword Master was defeated. Although it wasn't a fair fight, it was still quite astonishing.
Bone Douluo smacked his lips. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has really struck gold this time. Compared to that, what is the status of a mere honorary elder?
Ning Fengzhi said with a smile, "Alright, now that Chen Feng has joined our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, our time together has only just begun. Let's arrange a new place for our elders to stay first."
Sword Douluo waved his hand and said, "What's the point of making any more arrangements? Let him stay with me and Old Bones."
Bone Douluo nodded. Such a young man had a limitless future and was fully qualified to live with them.
Chen Feng thus settled in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
That very day, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was abuzz with discussion.
"Have you heard? A new elder has arrived at the sect, and he's only a teenager!"
"I heard he's a descendant of Elder Sword Douluo, and also possesses the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul."
Rumor has it: Sword Douluo lost a soul skill battle against the new elder!
"Really? What's the new elder's name?"
"Dust Wind!"
In no time, Chen Feng's name resounded throughout the entire sect, and everyone knew him.
