Chapter 364: Chen Xin's Recovery and Sparring
After Yu Yuanzhen and Prince Xue Xing finished discussing the details of their alliance, a clear whistle soon rang out from nearby.
The voice belonged to Chen Xin.
Hearing that long whistle, Yu Tianlin immediately smiled and said, "Grandpa, that is Senior Chen Xin. It seems he has recovered."
Chen Xin's whistle was full of vigor. It even gave people the feeling that it could pierce the clouds and split stone, clearly showing that he was in excellent condition.
"Your Highness," Yu Yuanzhen said, "Sword Douluo's severed arm should have undergone rebirth. Let us go and take a look together."
"Rebirth of a severed arm?"
Hearing Yu Yuanzhen's words, shock flashed through Prince Xue Xing's eyes.
Prince Xue Xing had heard that Chen Xin broke through to rank 97 after losing an arm. Now, judging from Yu Yuanzhen's words, it seemed that Chen Xin's severed arm had already recovered.
This was good news even for the Heaven Dou Empire.
On the other side, after finishing his long whistle and expelling all the pent-up turbid Qi from his chest, Chen Xin felt his entire body become incredibly light.
Although losing his right arm had allowed him to break through to rank 97 and gain many insights, it was also because he had lost that right arm and damaged his Qi and blood that he had lost the possibility of advancing further.
Climbing to the peak and witnessing the scenery of a higher realm had always been Chen Xin's obsession.
It was precisely because of this pure dedication that he had been able to surpass Bone Douluo Gu Rong and reach rank 96, and later even break through to rank 97.
However, the loss of his right arm was equal to cutting off Chen Xin's path forward, preventing him from ever reaching a higher realm in this lifetime. This had actually dealt a considerable blow to Chen Xin.
It was only because he did not want Ning Fengzhi to feel guilty that Chen Xin had never shown it. Instead, he buried everything deep in his heart and endured the blow alone.
Now, thanks to the power of the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, Chen Xin's right arm had recovered.
This naturally restored his possibility of advancing further. Moreover, losing his right arm and then recovering it had also given him many new insights, clearing his mind and deepening his understanding of higher realms.
It could be said that losing his right arm allowed Chen Xin to break through to rank 97, while recovering his right arm now cleared the way for his future breakthrough to rank 98.
Chen Xin believed that he would no longer face a bottleneck when breaking through to rank 98. As long as his spirit power accumulation was sufficient, he would be able to advance smoothly.
"Congratulations, Chen Xin. It seems it will not be long before you advance another step."
As soon as Yu Yuanzhen entered, he perceived Chen Xin's current state simply by looking into his eyes.
Chen Xin was just like Yu Yuanzhen back then. The bottleneck to rank 98 had already been cleared. As long as he accumulated enough spirit power, he would be able to break through.
However, the spirit power required to break through from rank 97 to rank 98 was immense. It could not be accumulated in a short time.
"It will probably take another five or six years," Chen Xin said seriously.
Then he cupped his fists toward Yu Yuanzhen.
"If not for the help of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, let alone advancing further, I would not even have been able to recover my severed arm. A great kindness needs no words of thanks. I will remember this. If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan ever needs help in the future, Chen Xin will not hesitate."
"Uncle Jian's words are also what I wish to say," Ning Fengzhi said.
From the exchange between Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin, Ning Fengzhi had already understood something.
It seemed Chen Xin only needed another five or six years before he could break through again. This made Ning Fengzhi's face reveal clear excitement.
"From now on, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will be the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's closest friend!"
Good heavens. If Uncle Jian can break through to rank 98, then with my amplification, will his strength not reach the level of a rank 99 Limit Douluo?
As soon as he thought of this, Ning Fengzhi became extremely excited. His goodwill toward the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan surged even higher.
"Everyone here can now be considered family, so there is no need to be so polite."
Yu Yuanzhen was very pleased with the attitudes of Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, but he did not show it too directly. Instead, he said, "Did Chen Xin not want to fight me? Now that your severed arm has undergone rebirth and you are in perfect condition, why do we not spar a little? What do you think?"
"That is exactly what I wanted!"
Hearing Yu Yuanzhen say this, Chen Xin's eyes immediately lit up.
Although he already had some insight into breaking through to rank 98, it would naturally be even better if he could personally spar with a rank 98 existence.
Seeing that the two were about to fight, Ning Fengzhi immediately said, "I also hope to experience Clan Head Yu's excellent moves together with Uncle Jian."
Although Chen Xin did not say it outright, he actually hoped for the same.
After all, his spirit power cultivation was one rank lower than Yu Yuanzhen's. If they fought truly one-on-one, he would only be suppressed from beginning to end.
But with Ning Fengzhi's amplification, his strength could rival Yu Yuanzhen's, allowing them to fight without falling too far behind and better experience the level of a rank 98 expert.
Yu Yuanzhen directly nodded in agreement.
"Since Clan Head Ning also has this interest, then come together."
After saying this, Yu Yuanzhen rose into the sky as if stepping on invisible stairs, walking step by step into the high air.
Faint blue-purple lightning flickered around him, restrained but not released. It did not seem to carry overwhelming power, yet it gave people an inexplicable sense of pressure.
Seeing this, Chen Xin also rose into the sky and faced Yu Yuanzhen.
A long sword, entirely azure and clear like crystal, condensed out of thin air in his hand.
This was Chen Xin's Martial Soul, the Seven Kill Sword.
The moment the Seven Kill Sword appeared, the space around Chen Xin filled with sharp Sword Qi.
This Seven Kill Sword looked extremely unique. Its blade carried nine stars, and their colors, in order, were yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, and black.
The colors and order of these nine stars were actually the same as spirit rings. In other words, these nine stars were Chen Xin's spirit rings.
He had cultivated his spirit rings to the point where they merged into his Martial Soul. This was truly quite unique.
As Chen Xin summoned the Seven Kill Sword, Ning Fengzhi also flew behind him.
Although Ning Fengzhi was not a Titled Douluo, he also possessed the ability to fly. His flying ability came from a Spirit Bone.
This was not strange. As a Support-type Spirit Master, the legacy Spirit Bones of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's Clan Head all possessed support and life-saving functions such as flight, teleportation, and shields. These greatly enhanced the survival ability of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's Clan Head.
After flying into the air, a flash of brilliant treasure light appeared, and a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda manifested in front of Ning Fengzhi.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had seven layers, and each layer was encircled by a spirit ring. The colors of yellow, purple, and black, combined with the pagoda's own treasure light, formed a dazzling radiance.
Although the fight would take place in the sky, Yu Mingfeng, Yu Tianlin, and Prince Xue Xing, who were watching below, still consciously retreated some distance to avoid being affected.
After both sides were ready, Yu Yuanzhen did not make the first move. Instead, he allowed Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi to act first.
