Chapter 13: Invitation
Upon hearing Gu Xuan's words and witnessing Gu Xuan's astounding mastery of fire manipulation, Chen Xin suddenly found himself speechless.
Indeed, true strength lies in unwavering focus.
I'm not afraid of an opponent who has mastered ten thousand different soul skills, but I am afraid of an opponent who has mastered one soul skill ten thousand times.
If we make Gu Xuan switch from the way of fire to the way of fire swordsmanship just because he has shown his talent in swordsmanship, then what if Gu Xuan also has talent in the way of the knife?
Do we have to learn everything?
Do not!
A strong person should stick to one path from beginning to end and keep going.
"Well, I never thought that at my age I would be less insightful than a child like you."
Compared to your talent in fire magic, your talent in swordsmanship is indeed average.
Chen Xin felt that his Dao heart was about to shatter.
The talent that someone else casually displayed reached a level he had never achieved before.
What right does he have to ask someone to abandon their most talented swordsmanship and instead cultivate a less desirable one?
Dejected, Chen Xin ignored Ning Fengzhi and left alone, brooding over his flying sword.
"Hey, Uncle Chen!"
Ning Fengzhi was dumbfounded when he saw Chen Xin leave. So, he just gave up like that?
"Haha, Fengzhi, don't worry, that swordsman will be fine. At most, he'll be depressed for a few days. Let him brag about his talent. Now look what happened, he got slapped in the face by my Xuan'er!"
Gu Rong is incredibly awesome, and his son certainly didn't disappoint him; his talent is indeed extraordinary.
However, he also realized that Gu Xuan's talent in swordsmanship might indeed be good, but before that, there was also the art of fire.
How can we abandon the essential for the trivial?
Thank goodness, thank goodness my grandson is smart enough.
"Then, then Xiao Xuan!"
Ning Fengzhi wanted to try harder.
"It's alright. Swordsmanship is not as important as fire cultivation. Xiao Xuan can't waste any energy cultivating other paths right now."
He should focus on cultivating the fire arts now.
Even cultivating the fire path isn't important; his main goal right now is to improve his cultivation level.
Seeing that Ning Fengzhi wanted to say something more, Gu Rong quickly interrupted him.
"Alright, Uncle Gu, you're right. Xiao Xuan should indeed work hard to cultivate his soul power now."
Ning Fengzhi quickly composed himself.
"This simulated cultivation scene is still too small. I plan to invest in building a small volcano for Xiao Xuan and connecting it to the underground fire vein. With this, Xiao Xuan's cultivation speed may be able to increase even further."
Since they couldn't use personal connections to bind Gu Xuan, they had no choice but to spend money.
"That's a good idea. I'll personally open the fire vein channel when the time comes. Let me know when you're ready."
Before Gu Xuan could even say anything, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong had already decided how to plan his future.
However, since Gu Rong had already spoken, he didn't say anything to refuse.
He'd have to be crazy to refuse a better simulated training environment.
Moreover, this is just the treatment he deserves from Gu Rong, so why should he be turned away?
"Then it's decided. By the way, Uncle Gu, Rongrong's martial soul awakening is in a month. How about you come and awaken Rongrong's martial soul then?"
Seeing that Gu Xuan did not refuse, Ning Fengzhi felt slightly relieved, and then remembered something else and spoke up.
Besides being his daughter, Ning Rongrong was also a rope used to bind Chen Xin and Gu Rong together. He now wanted to see if this rope was still effective against Gu Rong.
"Rongrong... no problem, leave it to me when the time comes."
Gu Rong nodded without hesitation.
He had watched Ning Rongrong grow up, and for Ning Fengzhi's sake, he couldn't refuse her no matter what.
Is Ning Rongrong about to awaken her martial soul?
After agreeing to Ning Fengzhi's request to attend the ceremony, Gu Xuan watched him leave the villa and murmured to himself.
Ning Rongrong is a stranger to him now, and he wouldn't act like a child because of a stranger.
"Xuan'er, you won't blame your grandpa for agreeing to this without my consent, will you?"
After Ning Fengzhi walked away, Gu Rong suddenly squatted down and looked at Gu Xuan, asking a question.
"No, Grandpa, you can decide for me. I just need you to be on my side from now on."
Gu Rong was so shocked by Gu Xuan's words that he felt like his soul was about to fly out of his body.
"Haha, okay, you're right. Grandpa will definitely stand firmly on your side from now on."
Gu Rong was very satisfied with Gu Xuan's trusting expression, and patted Gu Xuan on the shoulder with a big laugh.
"Grandpa, if there's nothing else, I'll go cultivate. You're right, I should definitely prioritize soul power right now."
After nodding to Gu Rong, Gu Xuan returned to his simulation training room.
"sword!"
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Gu Xuan waved his hand and the Pure Yang Sword appeared in his hand.
According to legend, the Chunyang Sword was the sword used by Lü Dongbin, the Chunyang Patriarch, and was later used as a seal to imprison the Holy Lord.
How could a sword that can seal away the demon Shendu be simple?
The only thing he hadn't considered was that, despite possessing the Pure Yang Sword, he actually had such a good talent for swordsmanship.
He comprehended the unique Pure Yang Sword Dao that belonged to the Pure Yang Sword after only slightly sensing the existence of the sword Dao.
Fortunately, he cleverly used flames to condense a sword as a disguise, otherwise his twin martial soul talent would have been exposed.
The talent of just one martial soul is enough for Ning Fengzhi to win him over at all costs. If he were to reveal his twin martial souls, he feared that Ning Fengzhi would do even more things that would annoy him.
At that time, he might really leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is pretty good right now. As long as Ning Rongrong doesn't provoke him and Ning Fengzhi doesn't scheme against him, it's not a bad idea for him to stay.
However, although he said he would no longer practice swordsmanship, how could he possibly give up the practice of the Pure Yang Sword Dao?
This is something that can suppress the Holy Lord; it's a true divine artifact.
However, he is not yet indicating that he will reveal too much.
As for the kendo teacher?
There are plenty of people who know kendo; I can always learn it later after I obtain the Rat Talisman.
Clearing his mind of all distractions, Gu Xuan once again entered a state of deep meditation.
In the early stages, don't think about things like soul skill proficiency; focus on increasing your soul power as the primary goal.
Because of the return of the dog talisman, Gu Xuan's soul power has always been saturated. He can cultivate as much as he wants, and even if he consumes it, it will be replenished instantly.
In other words, the soul power cultivated is converted into experience bars for the level of enlightenment.
Unlike other Soul Masters who consume and recover, Gu Xuan skipped the recovery process altogether. In addition, his physical condition was basically at its peak, so his cultivation was incredibly rapid.
This shows just how powerful the dog talisman is for cultivators.
In just one month, he broke through another small realm, advancing from level thirteen to level fourteen.
However, even if he wanted to continue his seclusion, he couldn't now.
With Ning Rongrong's martial soul awakening, it was impossible for any of the sect's high-ranking members and core disciples to be absent.
Not to mention that his grandfather presided over the awakening ceremony, so he naturally had to attend the banquet as well.
