Sword control techniques?
A glimmer flashed in Zeng Yi's eyes.
As a swordsman, Zeng Yi naturally desired to master the art of swordplay. Leaving aside the attack power of swordplay, just being able to fly with a sword was enough to make Zeng Yi's heart flutter.
Strength didn't matter, but it had to be cool!
Zeng Yi had also practiced swordplay on his own. The reason why a sword could fly through the air was simple—using soul power to control the sword and focusing one's mind to exert precise control.
He thought it through, but actually performing it yielded less-than-ideal results. Although Zeng Yi could lift a sword with his soul power, he couldn't use it to perform swordplay attacks; sword aura attacks were stronger. And as for flying on a sword, that was even more difficult. Just using soul power to lift the weight of the sword and control the flying of a long sword was mentally taxing enough. Adding another hundred-plus pounds would be too much for Zeng Yi to handle.
Perhaps his soul power was too low to accomplish this.
Watching Sword Douluo Chen Xin effortlessly fly with his sword, Zeng Yi couldn't help but think this way.
After all, this old man was a Titled Douluo with immense soul power, capable of flying with several people using swordplay—it was as simple as that.
But was swordplay really that simple?
Zeng Yi felt there must be some special techniques involved.
Maybe he should ask for advice?
Looking up at his cheap master, Sword Douluo Chen Xin was smiling at him with an ambiguous expression. Zeng Yi had the urge to punch him.
No, he couldn't admit defeat so easily.
"Let's talk about it another time." Zeng Yi pretended to be indifferent.
Zeng Yi's refusal actually surprised Chen Xin, but he caught a glimpse of desire in Zeng Yi's eyes.
"Oh? Hehe, whenever you want to learn, just tell your teacher, and I will teach you well, hehe." Chen Xin lightly smiled, his face filled with satisfaction. Although Zeng Yi currently refused to acknowledge him as his master, Chen Xin knew that Zeng Yi was definitely someone passionate about swords. Facing the person with the highest sword mastery on the entire continent, Zeng Yi would definitely seek advice on swordplay. At that time, their master-disciple relationship would naturally form.
Chen Xin's words made Zeng Yi feel a sense of gratitude in his heart. Although being forced to take him as a disciple was a bit unpleasant, this Sword Douluo genuinely wanted to accept him as a disciple. One could tell from his attitude towards Zeng Yi. If it were someone else, they wouldn't dare treat a Titled Douluo like this; they would have already been slapped dead.
Becoming a disciple of this Sword Douluo wasn't bad either. At least he would have a powerful backer. In the future, when encountering opponents he couldn't beat, he might be able to save his life by revealing his master's name. Moreover, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was the wealthiest sect. With the resources of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Zeng Yi's cultivation speed would be faster, and with the guidance of Sword Douluo, his sword mastery would also progress faster.
But in exchange, he would have to bear the consequences of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, including confronting the Martial Soul Hall in the future.
On the whole, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages. With Tang San's presence, as long as Tang San didn't die, the Martial Soul Hall would eventually be destroyed. Zeng Yi didn't need to do much; he could just enjoy himself on the side.
Thinking like this, Zeng Yi felt much more at ease.
"By the way, where are we going? Back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?" Zeng Yi couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this, Chen Xin's face showed a hint of delight. Although Zeng Yi didn't call him master, using the word "back" meant he acknowledged himself as a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Didn't that mean acknowledging Chen Xin as his master?
Yes, yes, having this thought is good. Young people, sudden events can make them shy; with time, they will naturally get used to it.
"We're not going back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect." Chen Xin shook his head.
He also wanted to bring Zeng Yi back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but it wasn't possible right now. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, despite being his sect, still had spies from the Martial Soul Hall. If he were to bring Zeng Yi back now, he was afraid the next day the Martial Soul Hall would come knocking on their door, using the excuse of a marriage alliance, asking Zeng Yi to go to the Holy Spirit City and meet their Saintess.
It was likely he would end up working for the Martial Soul Hall directly.
Therefore, they would delay as long as possible, making excuses about his disciple's cultivation experience and sending him to explore the outside world for several years.
"Sword Uncle, after finding him, take him to Suotuo City, Shrek Academy. Rong Rong is also there. Let him get to know Rong Rong better; it will help increase his feelings towards our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect." These were the words Ning Feng Zhi said to Chen Xin before he set off.
At that time, Chen Xin wanted to slap Ning Feng Zhi right then and there. What he was doing was selling his daughter, wasn't it? Chen Xin treated Rong Rong as his beloved granddaughter. Now, Ning Feng Zhi wanted to use her as a tool; how could he not be angry?
Ning Feng Zhi had thought this through very clearly and thoughtfully. Zeng Yi's talent was exceptional, and he was also handsome. He was a suitable match for his daughter Rong Rong. As for her appearance, Ning Feng Zhi was very clear about it. He didn't believe that Zeng Yi, a young man in his prime, could resist this temptation.
With this bond, even if Zeng Yi became connected to the Martial Soul Hall through a marriage alliance, he would still lean towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in his heart.
Originally, Chen Xin was very opposed to this, but now... it smelled good!
He found his disciple quite pleasing to the eye. In the future, he would definitely become a top-tier sword expert in the continent. He was worthy of his precious granddaughter, Rong Rong.
Thinking like this, a smile appeared on Chen Xin's face.
For some reason, Zeng Yi felt a chill down his spine.
"Then where are we going? Grandpa Grand Master," Yan Que eagerly asked Chen Xin.
"Hehe, we're going to Suotuo City, where there's a place called Shrek Academy." Chen Xin smiled lightly.
"Shrek, such a strange name. Is that a Soul Master academy? Grandpa Grand Master, are you taking Yan Que to study at a Soul Master academy?" Yan Que blinked her watery eyes, a puzzled expression on her face.
Didn't they have a sect? Why did they still have to go to a Soul Master academy? Yan Que was very confused because of her previous experiences; she wasn't fond of Soul Master academies.
"Hehe, little birdie, this isn't where you will be studying." Chen Xin patted Yan Que's head and smiled faintly.
"Then why are we going there?"
"Hehe, Grandfather will take you to meet an older sister."
Meanwhile, Zeng Yi stood on the edge of the Killing Sword, his gaze fixed below. Standing in the sky, overlooking the ground, everything seemed so minuscule.
From such a height, would I die if I jumped?
Using his control over wind to glide, although he couldn't fly yet, he could do some simple gliding. He didn't feel like he would die from doing that.
Should he jump and try?
Yes, Zeng Yi was feeling a bit tempted to escape.
Sure enough, he didn't even return to his sect. There must be some hidden plot awaiting him.
