Chapter 63 A Gift from Dust and Heart
It was already a fait accompli that Gu Xuan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had parted ways, so Ning Fengzhi didn't bother to try and persuade Gu Xuan.
Both sides are trying their best to maintain the last shred of dignity.
Since he cannot treat everyone fairly, he must bear the consequences of his favoritism.
As for executing Gu Xuan because he left?
Leaving aside whether Chen Xin would do such a thing, who would dare to touch a hair on Gu Xuan's head if Dugu Bo was the only one guarding the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School on Bone Peak?
Moreover, he believed that if he dared to attack Gu Xuan, not only would Gu Rong be furious, but even Chen Xin would leave him without hesitation.
Because there was no dog and horse talisman to bless him, Gu Xuan's training intensity was visibly reduced.
But in Ye Xinlan's view, it was extremely perverse.
With such talent and diligence, barring any unforeseen circumstances, his future prospects are at least that of a Super Douluo, and it's not impossible that he could even surpass Gu Rong and become a Limit Douluo.
Ye Xinlan was impressed by Gu Xuan's talent and perseverance not long after arriving at Bone Peak, just like she had impressed Dugu Bo before. As long as they could see a bright future, it wouldn't be difficult to win them over.
Furthermore, Gu Xuan has two Title Douluos as his backers, so his future growth is definitely not a problem. This is tantamount to him being destined to become a strong person.
She finally understood why Gu Rong had told her that the trip was worthwhile when he left that day.
Gu Xuan's talent, perseverance, and background destined him for an exceptionally brilliant future.
And if they can help him when he is weak, then they will definitely receive a substantial reward in the future.
This investment was definitely worthwhile.
Without the dog talisman, there wasn't enough soul power to assist in the battle, so the training was changed to one battle a day. After a few days, Gu Xuan gradually adapted to the fighting style with less soul power. With soul power combined with physical strength, the battle time could generally be extended to an hour.
But it only lasted an hour.
Even with the tempering of mental strength, Gu Xuan would have a lot of free time in a day.
Sitting on a small stool, Gu Xuan held a small knife in one hand and carefully carved a piece of wood that was only in its initial shape in the other.
Since he had some free time, Gu Xuan has devoted some of it to work.
He did nothing else but carve various objects.
From sculpting basic cartoon animals to now attempting human figures, the progress has been rapid.
Sword intent swirled around the knife, and ordinary wood faced no resistance in front of its blade, easily shaving off large amounts of wood chips.
"It's a waste of a precious resource for you to use your sword intent like this."
Just as Gu Xuan continued to meticulously carve, Chen Xin appeared behind him. Looking at Gu Xuan's actions, her eyes twitched, and she said with a slightly sour tone.
Gu Xuan paused slightly, then finally stopped what he was doing, stood up, and gave Chen Xin a slight bow.
"Grandpa Sword".
Although Chen Xin's actions were somewhat biased, Gu Xuan would not forget the top-grade snow silkworm that Chen Xin gave him before he awakened his martial soul.
If it weren't for that snow silkworm, his talent and potential might have truly been affected.
After all, even though he awakened his martial soul and gained a soul ring after consuming the snow silkworm, his soul power did not increase much, which shows that the snow silkworm at least made up for two to three levels of his innate soul power.
He was still able to distinguish between gratitude and resentment; Chen Xin had always only shown him kindness and never harbored resentment.
His bias towards Ning Rongrong was simply because Ning Rongrong was a girl.
He believed that if one day he made the same mistake as Ning Rongrong, Chen Xin would protect him just as she had protected Ning Rongrong. He was a respectable elder.
Although it was reasonable for him to protect Ning Rongrong, he was still unhappy, so although he respected her, he couldn't get close to her.
"Hey, you—"
Seeing Gu Xuan's actions, Chen Xin's eyes flashed with a hint of relief, but also with some helplessness.
"And what's the situation with those two from the Ye family?"
Chen Xin and Gu Xuan sat down and chatted casually, just like elders and juniors.
"The training volume is too high and I occasionally get injured. With the Nine Heart Begonia, I can recover faster and not have to rest for several days after each training session."
Gu Xuan continued carving while casually answering Chen Xin's questions.
"Damn, you two, grandfather and grandson, are really ruthless."
Chen Xin raised an eyebrow slightly. These two, grandfather and grandson, were both ruthless. One dared to train and the other dared to discipline. It was one thing before, but now they actually had to use the Nine Heart Begonia to continue the training.
It's probably common for players to suffer serious injuries after a single match, right?
"And what are you doing?"
Chen Xinjian Gu Xuan didn't pick up on the topic, but instead looked at the small statue and carving knife in his hand.
He felt that using sword intent as a sculpture was incongruous no matter how he looked at it.
"It's nothing, just practicing body control and having some fun to pass the time during breaks."
"What are you carving?"
Chen Xin looked at the little trinket carved by Gu Xuan and felt it was a bit incongruous. It had a human body but a cat's head, and most importantly, it was holding a simple-looking longsword.
"It's nothing. Sculpting a human figure is too difficult, so I could only sculpt a cat's head."
Gu Xuan naturally couldn't tell Chen Xin what he was carving, and the reason he gave was quite good.
Chen Xin didn't pursue the matter further. After all, in his opinion, Gu Xuan was young and hadn't been carving for very long. It was already quite good that he could carve a cat-man. Besides, it was just for fun, so there was no need to be too harsh.
As Gu Xuan finished speaking, the courtyard fell into a long silence.
Chen Xin only began to work after Gu Xuan had finished processing the general details.
He took a book from his soul tool and handed it to Gu Xuan.
"This is?"
Gu Xuan looked at the book, which had no cover, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, but did not immediately take it.
"This is the Seven Kill Sword Technique, which has been passed down through generations of my Chen family. Today, it is a powerful soul skill that is no weaker than the Haotian Sect's Haotian Nine Absolutes and Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique."
I have seen part of your ambition; the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School should indeed not be a prison that restricts you.
I guess this is all I'll ever be, but you're different; your talent in swordsmanship is unparalleled.
I don't ask that you make the Seven Kill Sword Technique famous throughout the world in the future, but just ensure that its lineage is not lost. Consider this the first thing I'm asking you to do, okay?
Chen Xin looked at Gu Xuan with hopeful eyes, knowing he probably wouldn't find a successor in his lifetime.
Gu Xuan will leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School soon, at which point his Seven Kill lineage will probably truly be severed.
Rather than doing that, it would be better to pass on the Seven Kill Sword to Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan said he was Gu Rong's grandson, but didn't he also consider him his own descendant?
Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought out the top-grade snow silkworm.
Don't be fooled by the countless top-grade Snow Silkworms in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire; they are three great treasure troves. In the outside world, the rarity of a single top-grade Snow Silkworm is comparable to that of an ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul bone.
Looking at the Seven Kill Sword Technique before him, Gu Xuan's expression gradually became serious.
In the Douluo Continent, the rarity of self-created soul skills like the Seven Kill Sword Technique is beyond doubt, especially self-created soul skills that can rival the Clear Sky Sect's Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique and the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes.
It goes without saying how much they cherish it.
Although Gu Xuan didn't care, from Chen Xin's perspective, this was the best thing he could offer.
