Chapter 107: Chen Xin's Request, The Peak Duel! (Please Keep Reading)
And at that very moment.
Dugu Bo had brought Dugu Yan over, intending to see Lin Yuan. The moment he poked his head out, he witnessed a scene he would never forget for the rest of his life.
"Holy shit!"
The Old Poison blurted out a curse, so startled he almost lost his footing.
He immediately pulled Dugu Yan behind him, the poisonous mist of his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor surging wildly around him, as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Ninety... ninety-ninth level?!"
"A super Douluo?!"
Dugu Bo's voice trembled. Although he was a Titled Douluo, in front of a powerhouse of this level, he was nothing but a Junior!
"Yan Yan..."
"Is... is this the teacher of Lin Yuan you mentioned before?"
"This is just way too damn strong?!"
... The entire area fell deathly silent.
Under the enveloping pressure of that supreme Spear Intent, no one dared to speak, even their breathing became cautious.
Zhao Yun held the Dragon Gallant Bright Silver Spear, his gaze sweeping indifferently across the scene.
Finally, his eyes landed on Lin Yuan, instantly softening.
Then, he looked at Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi, his voice low and authoritative: "I am Zhao Yun, Courtesy Name Zilong. I am Lin Yuan's master."
"You wished to see me?"
As his words fell, the spear in Zhao Yun's hand gave a slight tremor.
Chen Xin grunted, his eyes filled with shock.
"Ninety... ninety-ninth level..."
"It really is a super Douluo!"
Watching this scene, Lin Yuan felt incredibly pleased inside!
He stepped forward and gave Zhao Yun a slight bow, a smile on his Face that was both respectful and affectionate: "Master."
Zhao Yun nodded, retracting that terrifying Aura. In an instant, he reverted to a seemingly ordinary young man, but no one dared to look down on him anymore.
"Mm."
"Since someone wished to see me, I have come out to meet them."
"Lest some people think my Disciple has no one backing him."
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath, stepped forward, and bowed respectfully: "This Junior, Ning Fengzhi, Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, pays his respects to Your Excellency Zhao Yun!"
"My apologies for the offense earlier. I beg Your Excellency's forgiveness!"
"We did not mean to question, we merely... merely admired Your Excellency's bearing and came specifically to pay our respects!"
His posture could be said to be lowered to the dust.
Facing a ninety-ninth level super Douluo, forget being the Sect Master of an Upper Three Sect, even if the Spirit Hall's High Priest Qian Daoliu came, he would have to give some Face!
Otherwise, if Qian Daoliu didn't borrow the Angel God's divine force, he probably couldn't defeat Zhao Yun either!
Zhao Yun glanced at him faintly, said nothing, and merely waved his hand lightly, indicating the matter was over.
And right at that moment.
The Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly took a step forward.
Although the Sword Intent on his body was suppressed, it had not dissipated. Instead, under this pressure, it had been refined to its utmost limit.
"Your Excellency Zhao Yun."
Chen Xin's voice trembled slightly, but his gaze was exceptionally firm: "This Junior has immersed himself in the Sword Dao for decades, stuck at the ninety-sixth level Bottleneck for many years."
"Today, witnessing Your Excellency's Spear Intent, I am deeply shaken."
"This Junior... has an impertinent request!"
Ning Fengzhi's Face changed, as if guessing something, and he immediately tried to stop him: "Uncle Sword, you mustn't!"
But Chen Xin had already cupped his fists and bowed, saying: "This Junior is so bold as to wish to seek some instruction from Your Excellency!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire place erupted in an uproar.
Ning Rongrong covered her mouth, while Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo also wore expressions of shock.
Challenge a super Douluo?
Isn't that just asking for a beating?
Zhao Yun raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at Lin Yuan, seemingly seeking the opinion of his "Lord."
Lin Yuan's heart stirred.
"Give Chen Xin some pointers?"
This was actually a good opportunity!
If he could help Chen Xin break through to the ninety-seventh level, that would be giving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School an enormous favor!
Whether it was fostering some feelings with Ning Rongrong in the future, or using the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's influence to handle matters, things would go much more smoothly.
After all, some things couldn't just be handled by Zhao Yun; that would be too demeaning.
Moreover, his impression of Chen Xin was actually quite good.
If it were Gu Rong making this request, he probably wouldn't agree.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan sent a mental message to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, agree to him."
"Just give him a little guidance. Let him see the gap, but also let him see the path forward."
"Owning the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School a favor will benefit us."
Hearing this, Zhao Yun gave an imperceptible nod.
He looked at Chen Xin, a trace of appreciation appearing in his eyes:
"To act despite knowing it's impossible."
"This sword of yours still has some backbone."
"Very well."
"Considering Ning Rongrong and my Disciple are on good terms, I shall give you some pointers."
With that, Zhao Yun casually waved his hand.
A pale silver spirit power barrier instantly rose, enveloping a hundred-meter radius and forming a temporary barrier.
"Lin Yuan, take the others and retreat outside the barrier."
"Be careful of accidental injury."
Lin Yuan immediately beckoned Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi, and the others to retreat.
Dugu Bo, pulling Dugu Yan, ran the fastest, muttering under his breath: "Madness, madness!"
"That old guy Chen Xin is truly a martial fanatic, daring to challenge a powerhouse of this level!"
... Inside the barrier.
Chen Xin held the Seven Kill Sword, the nine spirit rings on his body pulsating, his Aura already raised to its Peak.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for granting my wish!"
"I apologize for the offense!"
"Seventh Spirit Ability, Seven Kill True Form!"
Chen Xin went all out from the very first move!
A massive phantom of the Seven Kill Sword soared into the sky, carrying an edge that could sever everything, and slashed fiercely towards Zhao Yun.
However, facing this world-shattering slash.
Zhao Yun merely held his spear with one hand, not even activating his Spirit True Form.
He just stood there quietly, his figure as straight as a pine tree, until the moment the giant sword was about to strike.
"Too slow."
Zhao Yun softly uttered three words.
With a light flick of the Dragon Gallant Bright Silver Spear in his hand, a clear metallic clang resounded through the skies!
That seemingly unstoppable Seven Kill True Form was actually deflected aside by this single, seemingly effortless spear thrust!
"What?!"
Chen Xin's pupils contracted violently. Was this the gap in their Realms?
"Your swordplay favors the unorthodox. While sharp, it loses steadiness."
Zhao Yun casually deflected Chen Xin's attacks while offering guidance: "Your Sword Intent is too intense, making it overly rigid and prone to breaking."
"The union of firmness and softness is the true Great Dao."
"Watch closely!"
Zhao Yun flicked his wrist, the long spear shooting out like a dragon emerging from the sea.
"Seven Probes Coiling Serpent!"
This spear thrust was bizarre and unpredictable, as if seven silver serpents were coiling in the air, instantly sealing off all of Chen Xin's escape routes.
Chen Xin roared, his ninth spirit ring lighting up!
"Ninth Spirit Ability, Divine Demon Slash!"
A massive Sword Qi tore through space, attempting to withstand this supreme spear thrust.
"Boom!"
Terrifying energy fluctuations rampaged wildly inside the barrier. If not for Zhao Yun's spirit power shield, the entire back mountain would likely have been flattened.
Outside the barrier.
Ning Fengzhi stared intently at the battlefield, his palms sweaty.
Dugu Bo was also dumbfounded: "This... this is the power of a super Douluo?"
"That old guy Chen Xin's Ninth Spirit Ability was broken by Zhao Yun's casual spear thrust?"
