Chapter 120: You can be rest assured

What's going on? Are you flying without me?

Looking at Chen Xin's serious expression, Zeng Yi felt that he wasn't joking. But why did he come all the way to recruit me as his disciple and now not take me back to the sect? What does this mean? Is it just to let me stay at Shrek? What's the idea behind this?

Zeng Yi was a little confused.

Could it be that Master, you actually knew that the people from Shrek are the chosen ones, so you let me stay here to absorb their luck?

Have you read the original work?

"Um, Master, do I really need to stay here? Wouldn't it be better to go back to Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?" Zeng Yi said reluctantly.

Actually, Zeng Yi really wanted to visit Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. As one of the top three sects and the wealthiest one, it must be very magnificent and grand.

"Ah."

Seeing Zeng Yi's displeased expression, Chen Xin couldn't help but shake his head, sigh, and pat Zeng Yi's shoulder. With a serious tone, he said, "Xiao Yi, you still don't understand your master's intentions."

"Intentions?" Zeng Yi was a little confused.

"Of course, it's to take care of Rong Rong!" Chen Xin said naturally, leaving Zeng Yi dumbfounded.

"Rong Rong is still young, and she is a girl. I am worried about leaving her alone outside. As her martial brother, you should take good care of the lovely Rong Rong, shouldn't you? I feel relieved with you around. When the time comes for Rong Rong to graduate, you can come back together with her." Chen Xin looked at Zeng Yi and advised him. 

Chen Xin was confident in his disciple's strength, which was enough to kill a Soul King. With him around, he believed that Rong Rong wouldn't suffer any losses.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Yi rolled his eyes at Chen Xin and silently brushed his hand off his shoulder.

What's the meaning of this? Did you take me as your disciple just to make me a bodyguard for your precious Rong Rong? Don't I have any face? Besides, Rong Rong is in the main group with Tang San's help. Can she be at a disadvantage?

Seeing Zeng Yi's disgusted and unwilling expression, Chen Xin couldn't understand. He had already said this, helped him like this, but why couldn't his disciple understand his intentions?

My precious Rong Rong is so cute and beautiful. Could it be that you're not moved at all, or have you gone blind?

"Xiao Yi, don't you like my Sword Control Art? Come, let me teach you," Chen Xin said.

Sword Control Art?

With Chen Xin's words, Zeng Yi's eyes couldn't help but brighten.

Wait a minute, if he is leaving, then it means it's just me from now on? Who else can control me? I can continue to freely wander, right?

As for that silly girl Rong Rong, who would care about her? She can follow behind Tang San on her own.

"Don't worry, Master! Leave Rong Rong to me. Your disciple will take good care of her." Thinking of this, Zeng Yi's suppressed expression instantly became spirited. He gave Chen Xin a confident smile, raised his thumb with his right hand, and his white teeth sparkled.

Seeing Zeng Yi like this, Chen Xin couldn't help but be speechless. How did he change his face so suddenly? Did he suddenly become enlightened?

"Come, come, come, Master, let's go to a corner and exchange sword techniques. By the way, Master, besides Sword Control Art, can you teach me some powerful sword skills? That way, I will be even more confident in protecting Rong Rong." Zeng Yi pulled Chen Xin and walked to the side while shamelessly asking for a favor.

After teaching Zeng Yi the techniques of Sword Control Art, Chen Xin left him to comprehend it while he went to accompany Yan Que.

During focused cultivation, one would lose track of time. In the blink of an eye, the sky had darkened.

Zeng Yi stood in an empty space, closing his eyes tightly. Three long swords surrounded his body, floating in the air. The long swords enveloped by Zeng Yi's spirit power occasionally trembled, exuding a sharp aura that covered the surroundings, lowering the temperature of the air.

Suddenly, Zeng Yi's tightly closed eyes opened, glittering with a cold light. With a surge of spirit power, an invisible gust of wind spread from his body, blowing up the fallen leaves on the ground.

The withered leaves danced in chaos.

Zeng Yi pointed his hand like a sword, waved it, and shouted.

"Sword!"

With a command, the three floating long swords instantly moved, shuttling through the air. Each sword's trajectory was different, and countless sword lights flashed in the air, filling the entire empty space with a powerful aura.

Swish, swish, swish!

In an instant, the fallen leaves in the air were chopped into countless fragments and fell gracefully. The three long swords returned to Zeng Yi's body, floating vertically.

"The Three Aperature Governing Heart. It doesn't seem that difficult," Zeng Yi laughed lightly, looking at the three floating long swords in front of him.

Zeng Yi's master, Chen Xin, taught him the secret technique of Three Aperature Governing Heart, which was an important skill for practicing Sword Control Art in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The control of divided attention is the ability to grasp every slight change in the surroundings. Not only does one need to observe these changes, but they must also be under one's control.

It sounds complicated, but it's actually about how to multitask during cultivation. Every ounce of dispersed mental focus must remain focused. It requires not only a high level of spiritual strength but also excellent reflexes.

And Zeng Yi could easily do all of this.

Being able to control the flow of wind, he could always sense the information he wanted through the airflow around him and precisely control every slight change in his spirit power.

Moreover, Zeng Yi had long been able to multitask his abilities. Using a sword technique in one hand and a blade technique in the other requires different skills, and it is much more challenging than ordinary Sword Control Art. Zeng Yi could switch between sword and blade, which was a much more difficult skill.

With such a foundation, Zeng Yi could easily grasp the ability to control three long swords simultaneously in an afternoon's time, which was the level of the Three Aperature Governing Heart, also known as the Heart Separation Control.

Chen Xin said that there were five levels in total for the control of divided attention: Three Aperature Governing Heart, Four Aperature Constant Heart, Five Aperture Dispersed Heart, Six Aperture Wishful Heart, and Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart.

Looking at the numbers, the highest was seven?

However, reaching the highest level only allowed one to control seven swords separately? Zeng Yi felt a little dissatisfied. He wanted to control more than twenty long swords so that he could perform the legendary sword move.

His third spirit skill, Sword Domain, combined with more then twenty long swords, felt like something worth exploring.

He imagined himself fighting against enemies, suppressing them with Sword Domain, and then using dozens of long swords to form a sword formation. He would unleash a fierce and swift barrage of strikes. This scene would undoubtedly be shocking.

"But my swords are not enough. I should ask Master for more swords. As a Sword Douluo, he must have a collection of many famous swords," Zeng Yi mumbled.

The three long swords he currently possessed were given to him by Chen Xin. They were all famous swords collected by Chen Xin, made from Star Iron and extremely tough, sharp enough to easily cut through refined iron.

Chen Xin initially intended for Zeng Yi to choose one from these three swords, but Zeng Yi took all of them. Chen Xin was a little heartbroken. Although he had his own martial soul, the Seven-killing Sword as a weapon, he rarely used other swords. However, collecting famous swords as treasures was also a great pleasure for Chen Xin, so it indeed hurt a bit to see his precious treasures taken away.

"Master! Grandmaster is calling for you!"

A familiar voice came from a distance. Zeng Yi looked in that direction and saw his disciple, Yan Que, running towards him.

"I'll go there."

Following Yan Que, Zeng Yi arrived at Shrek's training field, where all the people from Shrek were gathered.

"Grandpa Sword, are you leaving already? Why don't you stay a few more days here?" Ning Rongrong stood in front of Chen Xin, reluctant. Her eyes showed strong reluctance.

Chen Xin reached out and patted Ning Rongrong's head, smiling kindly. He said, "Grandpa has been away from the sect for a while, and he needs to return to protect it. If someone attacks, your Grandpa Gu Rong can't handle it alone, hahaha."

"Moreover, Grandpa is pleased to see that you can live independently. If your father knew about your current efforts, he would be very happy too."

"Rong Rong, you must take good care of yourself here. If there is anything you can't solve or if someone bullies you, find your martial brother. He can help you reclaim your dignity." Chen Xin spoke, then glanced at Zeng Yi.

"Xiao Yi, did you hear that? Take good care of Rong Rong."

"Master, don't worry! Rong Rong will be in good hands with me. You can rest assured!" Zeng Yi raised his thumb confidently and smiled at Chen Xin.

Seeing his disciple's appearance, Chen Xin shook his head helplessly. He knew Zeng Yi was a bit unreliable, but it was alright. He had already set up a backup plan.

Among the crowd, Flender held a golden card in his hand, staring at it intently. A drool escaped his mouth, and his hand holding the card trembled slightly. He could hardly believe it.

One million gold coins!

And they were golden spirit coins!

At this moment, Flender felt so happy that he might faint. He felt like he was swimming in a sea of gold, enveloped by countless gold coins. His face was filled with a radiant expression.

Truly worthy of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so rich!
