Douluo's Holy Lord at the Start

Chapter 12: Rejecting Worldly Desires

Ning Fengzhi was startled when he sensed the sword intent emanating from Gu Xuan.

Could Gu Xuan possibly possess a sword-wielding spirit?

Why would a direct descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School hide the secret of having twin martial souls?

They've probably already become estranged from the sect.

This shows that Ning Fengzhi is not trusted!

But when he turned around, he didn't see any so-called twin martial souls.

Although his level is not high, he still has the ability to distinguish martial souls.

There is no such thing as twin martial souls; it is simply a longsword of flame formed by extremely high control over flames.

At this moment, the two fighters in the sky stopped fighting and turned their attention to the ground below.

After all, even though the two were fighting, their attention never left Ning Fengzhi.

The two noticed as soon as Gu Xuan started acting strangely.

At first, the two thought that Gu Xuan was hiding a martial spirit, but when Gu Xuan condensed a long sword with flames, they had the same idea as Ning Fengzhi.

The two transformed into two streaks of light and descended.

Seeing the two fall, Gu Xuan also dispelled the flames in his hand.

"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu."

Upon seeing the two, Ning Fengzhi quickly went to greet them.

Putting aside everything else, Ning Fengzhi has always maintained the utmost respect for Chenxin and Gurong.

"Swordsman, I told you your sword wasn't very good."

Gu Rong and Chen Xin nodded to Ning Fengzhi, then looked at Chen Xin sideways and said.

"Ha, whether it's advantageous or not is up to you. So what if your shell is as hard as a turtle's? You're still just a sitting duck."

Chen Xin might treat others with courtesy, but as for Gu Rong...

"You old swordsman, I only did that because I didn't want to use my full strength. Otherwise, I could have killed you with a single spatial slicing move, believe it or not!"

Gu Rong's explosive temper was almost enough to make him fight Chen Xin for three days and three nights.

"Hey, Uncle Gu, Uncle Jian, stop arguing. Xiao Xuan's matter is more important."

Ning Fengzhi quickly stepped forward to dissuade him.

He's really done a lot as the sect leader. Besides dealing with everyone in the sect, he also has to act as a stepping stone for the two old men.

Otherwise, given the personalities of the two old men, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would never be able to maintain peace.

"Hmph, I can't be bothered to talk to you."

Chen Xin rolled her eyes at Gu Rong, then excitedly knelt down next to Gu Xuan and looked at him.

"Xiao Xuan, could you show me what you just made again?"

Chen Xin's eyes sparkled.

Gu Rong has a grandson named Gu Xuan. Although his martial soul is not a bone dragon, at least he has a successor.

But what about him?

As a swordsman, he has always believed that women only affect his speed of drawing his sword.

Therefore, unless they meet a woman they really like, they will basically not have children.

He has now given up on romantic relationships and has basically given up on having children.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't want to find a successor.

However, there are very few geniuses who can be considered worthy of his attention, even with a sword-wielding martial spirit.

Therefore, he has not been able to find a suitable successor all these years.

But just now, Gu Xuan actually comprehended the sword intent.

Although this sword intent is vastly different from the Seven Kill Sword Intent, it is still a sword intent!

How old is Gu Xuan?

She's only six years old.

What was he doing when he was six years old?

He was probably still wielding a small wooden sword, but Gu Xuan had already grasped the essence of swordsmanship at such a young age.

What incredible talent must one have for swordsmanship?

Gu Xuan did not agree immediately upon hearing this, but instead glanced at Gu Rong.

He never expected that he would comprehend sword intent while watching Gu Rong and Chen Xin fight.

Fortunately, the Pure Yang Sword Intent was also extremely Yang and strong, and he concealed it with his flaming greatsword at the crucial moment.

Otherwise, he wouldn't know how Ning Fengzhi would brainwash him.

He knew what Chen Xin was thinking, but he didn't want to have anything to do with Chen Xin.

In the Douluo Continent, the relationship between master and disciple can sometimes be said to be even stronger than that between father and son, and he did not want to put such a shackle on himself.

Moreover, as for swordsmanship, he has plenty of ways to learn more advanced swordsmanship, so he doesn't need to waste time on Chen Xin.

However, Gu Rong and Gu Xuan have only spent a short time together.

It's not funny to say, but Gu Rong spent more time with Ning Rongrong than with his own grandson, Gu Xuan.

If it weren't for Gu Xuan's life-or-death situation triggering the bond between him and Gu Rong, he might have even forgotten what Gu Xuan looked like.

"Xuan'er, since your sword-wielding grandfather wants to see it, then let him see it. If you really have the talent for swordsmanship, you can't be left behind."

Gu Rong thought Gu Xuan was just asking for his opinion, so he was immediately delighted and stroked his beard, laughing heartily.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Gu Xuan's calm eyes. The tacit understanding between the grandfather and grandson was still too low, but this was within his calculations.

He perfectly concealed the disappointment in his eyes. After Gu Rong nodded, a flame suddenly condensed in Gu Xuan's right hand. Then, with a flick of his wrist, a long sword made of pure flame appeared in his hand amidst the sparks.

The moment the longsword appeared, an extremely sharp and powerful aura emanated from Gu Xuan.

"That's the feeling!"

Chen Xin's eyes suddenly lit up; it was this sword intent that he had sensed earlier.

Fiery, pure, and sharp!

"Xiao Xuan, you have a very strong talent for swordsmanship. Would you like to become my disciple?"

Although Gu Xuan's martial soul is not a sword, his control over flames allows him to transform flames into longswords, making it a unique sword martial soul.

As for soul skills?

Which true swordsman was ever obsessed with soul skills?

As long as you go far enough in the path of swordsmanship, then things like spirit rings can be completely ignored, right?

Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up when he heard Chen Xin's words.

Gu Xuan's talent and value were elevated to a new level in his mind.

If he really becomes Chen Xin's disciple, then his connection with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will have another bond.

That way, there would be even less concern about the relationship between Gu Xuan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Therefore, Ning Fengzhi was the second most likely person present to want Gu Xuan to become Chen Xin's disciple.

Even Gu Rong looked at Gu Xuan with hopeful eyes.

Although I hate to admit it, the attack power of Chenxin's Seven Kill Sword is indeed terrifying. Putting aside everything else, even Haotian Hammer is inferior to Chenxin in terms of attack power among those of the same level.

Of course, this is on the premise that the Haotian Hammer does not use the exploding ring.

"No need, I'm not interested in swords. Thank you for your kindness, Grandpa Sword."

Gu Xuan waved his hand and dismissed the flaming giant sword.

He naturally knew what Ning Fengzhi and the others were planning. Chen Xin might genuinely want to teach him swordsmanship, but he didn't want to learn from Chen Xin.

What!

You clearly have such great talent, why waste it?

Chen Xin looked at Gu Xuan in disbelief, unable to believe that she would be rejected.

"Grandpa Sword, having talent doesn't necessarily mean you have to exchange for it. If we're talking about sword talent, why don't you talk about my talent in the way of fire?"

Cultivation emphasizes quality over quantity. The cultivation of fire energy is already sufficient for me; there's no need to waste time on other things.

Gu Xuan gently shook his head, and with a wave of his hand, even hotter flames rose from his body, within which swords, spears, halberds, birds, and beasts appeared.

"Turning fire into shape is very simple for me, do I really need to learn everything about it?"
