Chapter 118: The Sword in My Hand is the Strongest!

At night, on a vacant lot outside Shrek Village, a figure stood there, quietly waiting for something.

After a while, a white figure appeared in front of the person, and they stood face to face.

"What is it, disciple? Why did you call me out?" Sword Douluo Chen Xin looked at Zeng Yi with a calm gaze and asked lightly.

"You already know, don't you?"

"Know what?" Chen Xin asked back, looking at Zeng Yi with a meaningful gaze.

"Alright, stop pretending. I know you've figured it out." Seeing Chen Xin's gaze, Zeng Yi knew that he must have discovered Xiao Wu's true identity.

"Hehe, you mean that little girl? It seems you are well aware of her identity too. But I'm curious, how did you figure it out?" Chen Xin smiled faintly, feeling somewhat puzzled.

A hundred thousand-year soul beast transforming into a human form can only be sensed by Soul Masters at the rank of Spirit Douluo or above. So how did his disciple, who was only a Spirit Elder, know that the little girl was a soul beast? It was strange; it seemed that he also had many secrets.

"Why do you care how I know?"

Zeng Yi couldn't be bothered to explain anything to him. He couldn't just say that they were characters from a book, and the plot was already set, could he? 

Besides, even if he hadn't read the original work, with the help of the "Inspect" function of the system, Zeng Yi could still know some basic information.

"Do you intend to harm her?" Zeng Yi asked.

Chen Xin didn't speak, just looked at Zeng Yi and smiled without saying a word.

"Please don't harm Xiao Wu, Master." Zeng Yi's expression was serious as he pleaded with Chen Xin, his tone filled with sincerity.

Master!

Hearing this address, Chen Xin's pupils contracted involuntarily, and he felt a surge of excitement. This was the first time Zeng Yi had called him like this; he finally acknowledged him as his master?

He's pleading for this soul beast?

However, Zeng Yi was only doing this because of this matter, and Chen Xin felt somewhat uncomfortable about it.

"Is that girl your friend?" Chen Xin asked.

Friend?

Chen Xin's words made Zeng Yi think for a moment. He had only met Xiao Wu a few times, and they hadn't had much communication. Calling her a friend might have been a stretch; they were at most acquainted.

Why did Zeng Yi bring up Xiao Wu? Perhaps it was just some sentimentality from reading the original work before, naturally wanting to help the adorable protagonist a little.

Of course, it was just a suggestion. Zeng Yi knew how important Xiao Wu was to Tang San. In the later stages of Douluo Continent, the plot revolved around her. If Sword Douluo Chen Xin were to take action against Xiao Wu, then it wouldn't just be the Spirit Hall that Tang San would be up against, but also the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

If that were to happen, well, it would certainly be more interesting.

But Zeng Yi didn't really want to cause trouble. As a kind transmigrator, he held goodwill towards these protagonists and didn't see a need to antagonize them.

"That should be enough." Zeng Yi replied.

"Hehe, do you know what a hundred thousand-year soul beast represents? And to be friends with a soul beast, don't you find it ridiculous?" Chen Xin looked at Zeng Yi, his words carrying a hint of ridicule.

Ridiculous? Isn't your beloved Rongrong also friends with soul beasts?

Chen Xin's words made Zeng Yi roll his eyes.

"You're already a Title Douluo with full spirit rings, why do you bother with her? Are you still aiming for the Tenth Spirit Ring?"

"Do you think there's only a hundred thousand-year spirit ring? You should know that killing a hundred thousand-year soul beast will definitely yield a soul bone. Moreover, it would be a soul bone of the hundred thousand-year level, comparable to a hundred thousand-year spirit ring. Even as your master, I can't help but be tempted by something like that," Chen Xin said calmly.

"And, I don't plan on taking action against her right now. I want to leave her to you! When you become a Title Douluo, no, maybe even as a Spirit Douluo, you will have a hundred thousand-year spirit ring, and you will become the most powerful existence in the entire Douluo Continent. At that time, will you still care about a friend?" 

"Hehehe."

Upon hearing Chen Xin's words, Zeng Yi couldn't help but laugh in disdain. His laughter started faintly and gradually grew louder, resounding through the night sky.

Zeng Yi laughed for a while before his laughter gradually subsided and disappeared.

"Not bad. As swordsmen, as long as we believe in the sword in our hands, it is enough." Chen Xin looked into Zeng Yi's eyes, his satisfaction evident. He hadn't misjudged him; this kind of person was most suitable for cultivating the sword. With this determination, Zeng Yi would reach the pinnacle of strength.

"So, what will you do now? Will you still try to harm her?" Zeng Yi put away Ronin Sword and asked again.

This time, Chen Xin shook his head.

"I never had that intention, to begin with. When I first saw that girl, I was just a little surprised. Besides, that girl is Rongrong's good friend. How could I do something to make Rongrong sad?"

"What I said just now was merely a test for you." Chen Xin said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Yi's mouth twitched. This old man really had some twisted taste.

Also, you were only doing this for Ning Rongrong, right? This old man really is just a fan of Ning Rongrong.
