The Seven Kill Sword Technique

Stepping outside, Chen Yuan immediately drew his iron sword and began his training. His current state was excellent, and the iron sword in his hand felt as light as a feather, almost as if it didn't exist.

This made him think to himself.

'It seems that consuming whale glue has made my physique even stronger. Perhaps it's time to increase the intensity of my training…'

He quickly pushed these thoughts aside and focused entirely on his training, swinging his sword one stroke after another.

After 300 swings, Chen Yuan still felt energetic and full of vigor, which surprised even himself.

Not only him, but even Chen Xin was amazed, realizing that the current training intensity was no longer suitable for Chen Yuan.

However, today was an exception. Chen Xin walked over slowly and said to Chen Yuan.

"Yuan'er, give me the sword!"

Chen Yuan immediately complied.

"Yes!"

He handed the sword to Chen Xin and waited for him to teach the Seven Kill Sword Technique.

Holding the hilt of the sword, Chen Xin's expression turned serious. He looked at Chen Yuan and spoke solemnly.

"The Seven Kill Sword Technique is different from the 'Kill' technique. The latter involves releasing sword energy for attacks, while the former is a close-combat method. The Seven Kill Sword Technique relies on speed and strength. Every move is swift and powerful. It's not just a sword technique—it's also a movement technique. It will give you a comprehensive improvement and make up for your current lack of experience."

After saying this, Chen Xin began to demonstrate the Seven Kill Sword Technique. In an instant, his entire aura changed. The sword moved with his body, and the coordination between the sword's motion and his body's movements was flawless. His body led the sword, and his form and spirit became one.

Chen Xin's movements weren't particularly fast, allowing Chen Yuan to clearly see each move. As he demonstrated, Chen Xin also explained.

"Our Chen family's martial soul is powerful, but what's even more powerful is ourselves—our strength, speed, reflexes, and explosiveness. Relying solely on the sharpness of the Seven Kill Sword to swing wildly is as ridiculous as a child wielding a heavy hammer."

The demonstration continued, and Chen Xin added. "To truly master the Seven Kill Sword Technique, you must forget about the sword in your hand. You must become the sword. You are the sword, and the sword is you. When man and sword become one, you can unleash the strongest strike!"

As the demonstration neared its end, Chen Xin's aura reached its peak. He seemed like a sharp, divine sword, but the aura vanished in an instant, as if it had never existed. His control was impeccable.

Taking a light breath, Chen Xin looked at Chen Yuan and asked.

"You've seen it all. What insights have you gained?"

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yuan answered honestly.

"It's the person who wields the sword, not the sword that controls the person. Master, you've always been telling me not to rely on the power of the Seven Kill Sword but to continuously strengthen myself."

A prodigy!

A once-in-a-generation prodigy!

Chen Xin's eyes burned with excitement. It was a realization he had only come to after breaking through to the 96th level of soul power and becoming a Super Douluo. Yet, Chen Yuan had grasped it instantly. How could he not be a prodigy?

"Excellent. I'm very pleased that you've gained such insights."

Chen Xin nodded with satisfaction and handed the sword back to Chen Yuan. He then said.

"We'll start learning the Seven Kill Sword Technique now. With your talent, mastering it will only be a matter of time."

Chen Yuan, having lived two lives, wasn't a child. His insights came from his past life's memories. Being praised by Chen Xin didn't make him arrogant.

Under Chen Xin's guidance, Chen Yuan began learning the Seven Kill Sword Technique. This wasn't just about standing still and swinging a sword. It required high levels of flexibility and coordination.

However, Chen Yuan's comprehension and talent were exceptional. With Chen Xin's guidance, he quickly began to mimic the technique with remarkable accuracy.

And Chen Yuan always remembered—it was the person who wielded the sword, not the sword that controlled the person.

The day passed quickly. By now, Chen Yuan had begun his meditation practice. Meanwhile, Chen Xin sought out Ning Fengzhi to discuss the matter of whale glue.

In the brightly lit study, three people were present: Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong. After a moment of consideration, Chen Xin spoke.

"Sect Leader, there's something I need to discuss with you. Yesterday, I ordered the purchase of a piece of thousand-year whale glue."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong's expressions turned slightly strange. Seeing this, Chen Xin's face reddened, and he quickly added.

"It's not for me. It's for Yuan'er!"

However, this explanation might still cause misunderstandings, so Chen Xin quickly clarified.

"Yesterday, Yuan'er asked me to get him some whale glue, claiming it could strengthen his bones and muscles. I didn't believe it at first—I know what whale glue is used for—but I couldn't refuse him, so I agreed to his request."

After a pause, Chen Xin continued.

"I cut off a fist-sized piece of the thousand-year whale glue and had it roasted and softened. After Yuan'er ate it, his bones, muscles, and qi and blood showed significant improvement. Then it occurred to me—if one consumes whale glue without engaging in intimate activities, the essence remains locked within the body, strengthening bones and muscles. The effects are quite noticeable."

After finishing his explanation, Chen Xin stopped and waited for Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong to process the information.

Ning Fengzhi's eyes gleamed. If all of this was true, the value of whale glue would increase significantly.

Gu Rong, however, focused on a different point. He asked suspiciously. "How did that kid Chen Yuan know that eating whale glue could strengthen bones and muscles? Has he eaten it before?"

Chen Xin replied.

"It's probably a misunderstanding. He said he read in a book that whale glue is a highly nourishing substance that can make one's qi and blood boil, filling them with energy and eliminating fatigue. We know it's used as an aphrodisiac, but he thought it was for strengthening muscles and bones."

Gu Rong stroked his chin and said warily. "From now on, you'd better keep your disciple away from Rongrong. If he eats whale glue and can't control himself, it could lead to trouble. In fact, you should focus on teaching your disciple, and I'll take care of Rongrong."

Hearing this, Chen Xin snorted coldly. "Hmph, he's only six years old. What could he possibly do? You're just using this as an excuse to pick a fight, aren't you?"

Seeing the two of them at odds, Ning Fengzhi quickly intervened.

"If the effects are truly this good, then the sect will need to purchase large quantities of whale glue in the future. For now, I'll order the immediate purchase of all whale glue on the market to supply Chen Yuan. He's a genius of the sect, and the sect won't be stingy with him. We'll observe how much improvement whale glue can bring and consider promoting its use throughout the sect in the future."

Because of Ning Fengzhi's words, in the near future, all the hundred-year, thousand-year, and ten-thousand-year whale glue on the continent's market would be quietly bought up.

With the wealth of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, purchasing whale glue of any age was no problem.

This left many nobles of the empire furious, cursing loudly. Who on earth was so desperate that they bought up all the whale glue? Did they want to die in bed?
