While Emperor Xueye and Prince Xuexing were still immersed in Ning Liu's groundbreaking sword theory, Ning Fengzhi was deeply shaken.

Having spent so many years with Sword Douluo, he naturally knew what a swordsman of Sword Douluo's level was thinking.

Ning Liu's words are not guidance, they are preaching!

At the eye of the storm, Sword Douluo Chen Xin had his eyes closed and remained motionless, like a stone statue.

However, the sword energy around him began to dissipate uncontrollably.

Immediately afterwards, this sharp sword energy grew stronger and purer!

Buzz!

A soft sword cry rang out, not from any physical weapon, but from within Chen Xin's body.

The voice was clear and ethereal, as if it resonated directly in the depths of everyone's soul.

"Old Swordsman is going to..."

Gu Rong's expression changed, and he let out a strange cry. His soul power erupted instantly, and a thick layer of bone armor covered his entire body. At the same time, he took a step forward and stood in front of everyone.

Almost the instant he made his move, an incomparably terrifying sword intent erupted from Chen Xin's center!

Countless fine sword marks appeared on the walls, floor, and ceiling of the entire private room, as if the person had been slowly tortured a thousand times!

Emperor Xueye and Prince Xuexing felt their souls tremble, as if millions of invisible swords were hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any moment.

If it weren't for the ancient banyan tree standing in front of them, the aftershocks of that sword intent alone would have been enough to severely injure their minds.

Ning Liu stood quietly in place, letting the violent sword intent wash over his body, his clothes fluttering and his hair dancing wildly.

Amidst this storm of sword intent, a phantom yet solid giant sword slowly emerged behind Chen Xin.

Seven Kill Sword!

This martial spirit, passed down through generations, manifested itself at this moment!

The sword's blade shimmered with light, and its once indomitable killing intent now possessed a touch of soothing and refined charm.

The originally fierce and domineering sword intent is undergoing a mysterious transformation.

"Destruction precedes construction, the sword's heart is clear..."

Ning Fengzhi muttered to himself, his eyes filled with shock and ecstasy.

The bottleneck that had troubled Chen Xin for years was actually broken just like that, with just a few words of guidance from Ning Liu?

Suddenly, Chen Xin opened his eyes wide!

In his eyes, there were only two sword lights that were pure to the extreme!

He slowly raised his right hand, his fingers forming a sword shape, and gently slashed at the void.

Instantly, all the killing intent coalesced.

But right where his finger traced, a pitch-black crack quietly appeared, a mark of space being torn apart by pure sword intent!

Immediately afterwards, an even more powerful aura surged from his body!

At this moment, his soul power broke through the shackles of level ninety-seven and steadily stepped into a brand new level!

Level 98!

When that momentum reached its peak and then receded back into the body like a tide, the pressure in the entire room suddenly vanished.

In the deathly silence, the ancient banyan tree was the first to break the silence.

He stared in disbelief at Chen Xin, then at Ning Liu, his mouth agape for a long time before he finally managed to utter a single sentence:

"Holy crap! Old Swordsman, you... you broke it already?"

"You went from level 97 to level 98 just from listening to this kid spout a few loads of nonsense?"

These words, though crude, express the sentiments of everyone.

Emperor Xueye and Prince Xuexing were completely numb.

They can understand that miraculous herbs can help people break through their limitations.

They could accept the mystery surrounding the auction.

Yet an eighteen-year-old boy, with just a few words, caused a renowned top-tier Title Douluo to have an epiphany on the spot, instantly leveling up...

This is beyond their comprehension.

Is this a miracle?

Chen Xin ignored the strange cries of the ancient banyan tree.

He looked down at his hands, feeling the harmonious and ever-flowing sword intent and soul power within his body, a complex mix of reminiscence and excitement flashing in his eyes.

A moment later, he tilted his head back and let out a hearty laugh!

"Hahaha...hahahaha!"

There was not a trace of arrogance in his laughter; in fact, tears welled up in his eyes as he laughed.

"Father!"

He clenched his fist suddenly, the sound piercing through the clouds and splitting rocks.

"I have finally... surpassed the heights you reached back then!"

This shout was filled with countless years of perseverance, pursuit, and anticipation.

Chen Xin's father, the previous successor of the Seven Kill Sword, was also a titled Douluo of extraordinary talent, whose cultivation was at the peak of level ninety-seven.

Surpassing his father and facing his father's former rivals was Chen Xin's greatest obsession and deepest yearning.

Today, I have gained enlightenment!

Ning Fengzhi's eyes reddened slightly. A thousand words could only be condensed into one sentence: "Good! Good indeed! Uncle Jian!"

Gu Rong also dropped his playful grin and gave a rare serious snort: "You old codger, you're lucky."

Ning Liu looked at the exciting scene before him and a faint smile appeared on his face.

But he was thinking about something else.

The "Flowing Light Sword God" sword dao true explanation rewarded by the system this time seems to be no accident.

Before this, the system did not directly grant him a clear, adaptive divine position, unlike Ning Rongrong and Tang Xiao.

Therefore, even though the auction returned the "Gaze of the Sea God" to him, he had no intention of inheriting the position of the Sea God.

Now, the system has directly given him the life's work of a "Sword God." This might be a hint, a direction.

Don't get hung up on the existing, one-to-one god positions in the Douluo God Realm.

A true strongman proves his worth through force and carves out his own divine position!

But are there any gods in the Douluo God Realm related to "swords"?

He wasn't sure. If there was a conflict, would his path clash with the other party's?

If not, then can what you create yourself be recognized by the divine realm?

Ning Liu's gaze inadvertently fell on the Sword Douluo who had just broken through.

A bold idea quietly sprouted in his mind.

Having just guided Sword Douluo, enabling him to fulfill his greatest wish in this life, I have, in a sense, become his "guide" on the path of swordsmanship.

Why not... activate the faith altar now, let Sword Douluo step onto it, and see if there are any relevant divine positions in the Douluo God Realm?

Can Sword Douluo illuminate a path for himself?
