Chapter -5 Rongrong just fell asleep?

Chapter -5.

After dinner, Ye Chen decided to take a little break in the peaceful bamboo forest next to the Sword Cottage. 

Time flew by, and before he knew it, he heard someone calling his name, almost like a shout. 

When he opened his eyes, he noticed the bright moon shining high above, surrounded by countless twinkling stars in the clear night sky. 

Sword Douluo Chen Xin was sitting quietly beside him. As Ye Chen stretched lazily, Chen Xin frowned and said, "You've got amazing talent, kid! You really should be practicing more. How can you be so lazy and not even meditate properly?" 

Feeling a bit wronged by Chen Xin's disappointed gaze, Ye Chen replied, "Sword Senior, honestly, if I focus too hard on meditating and practicing, my soul power might actually improve slower." 

Chen Xin didn't say anything, but his look said it all. 

Ye Chen scratched his head, thinking to himself that he wasn't lying; if he put all his energy into meditation, it would mess with his automatic practice system, making his soul power grow at a snail's pace. 

It was much better to just relax and sleep peacefully; he wasn't slacking off, just embracing his inner "salted fish." 

"Sword Senior, you believe me, right? I really..." 

Before he could finish, Chen Xin interrupted him. 

"Your future is in your hands, and all I can do is help you avoid some wrong turns." With that, Chen Xin opened his palm, and the silver long sword he had shown earlier appeared in front of Ye Chen. 

"Is this a gift for me?" 

"Not a chance!" 

"Uh..." 

Ye Chen felt a bit down: "If you're not giving it to me, then why show it off? That's just rubbing it in!" 

Just as he was lost in thought, Chen Xin suddenly said, "Take it; let it be your companion for ten days." 

Ye Chen was a bit confused; what was the point of holding onto a sword for ten days? But despite his puzzlement, he accepted the sword from Chen Xin. 

After that, Chen Xin didn't offer any teachings under the moonlight like Ye Chen had imagined, nor did he provide any special insights about swordsmanship. He simply left the bamboo forest, leaving Ye Chen in a daze beneath the moonlight. 

"man, why do you have so many questions?" 

That thought popped into Ye Chen's mind, and he felt a mix of helplessness and confusion. 

His master, Bone Douluo, had given him a bone pendant and called it a day, and now Sword Douluo had given him a sword too; what was going on? 

Ye Chen lay back on the grass, gazing up at the sky in silence. 

What he didn't notice was that the silver long sword he held was glowing softly, almost like it was breathing, alive with energy. 

The midnight bamboo forest was quiet. Ye Chen made his way to the Sword Cottage, planning to get a good night's sleep there. 

Now that his soul power had reached level ten, he was excited to find Master Bone in the morning and ask him to help him hunt for soul rings to keep improving. 

Suddenly, a sharp "Clang!" echoed through the air. Before Ye Chen could react, the silver long sword in his hand detached itself and hovered above him. 

In an instant, the sword released streams of milky white light, surrounding him like a gentle waterfall. Upon closer inspection, he noticed several small figures within the glow, practicing sword techniques. 

[Beep, detecting that the host is comprehending sword technique inheritance. Would you like to activate the automatic cultivation system?] 

"Yes, activate it!" 

Ye Chen could hardly contain his excitement; he never expected Chen Xin to be so generous, wanting to pass on his sword technique to him after just their second meeting. This was a super Douluo-level inheritance, something many would dream of! 

[System activated successfully, automatically comprehending the swordsmanship inheritance!]

[Comprehension progress: 5% 10% 30% 70% 90%]

[Progress 100% comprehension successful! Congratulations to the host for fully grasping the 'Seven Kill Sword Technique' and integrating it!]

The system's voice was always so pleasant to hear. Ye Chen summoned the Seven Star Demon Abyss Sword and stood still, feeling a familiar sensation surge from his mind to every part of his body, as if he had practiced that well-known sword technique a billion times. "Heavy sword has no edge!" 

He couldn't help but swing the sword outside the house, instantly unleashing six beams of sword light that formed the character for 'kill' and shot deep into the bamboo forest. 

With a loud bang, the sword light struck several green bamboo stalks, exploding with a powerful shockwave that sent pieces flying everywhere. 

What a powerful sword technique! Excitement sparkled in Ye Chen's eyes, but soon he slumped to the ground, feeling drained; that strike had nearly exhausted his soul power. 

The Seven Kill Sword Technique had three forms. Although Ye Chen had mastered all of them, the later forms, 'Seven Emotions and Seven Injuries' and 'Great Skill is No Skill,' required even more soul power than he currently had. But having the heavy sword with no edge was more than enough for now. 

"Let's see what kind of effect the bone pendant from Master Gu has; it wouldn't be his inheritance too, would it?" 

Taking out the bone jade pendant hanging around his neck, Ye Chen tried to channel his soul power into it. Suddenly, a surge of black pressure erupted from the pendant, enveloping him. 

"This is gravity." 

Feeling the weight pressing down on him, Ye Chen estimated that the current pressure was twice what he was used to, but the bone pendant seemed to adjust the gravity. 

The surface of the pendant had seven holes, and after Ye Chen input his soul power, only one hole glowed faintly. If he kept supplying soul power, maybe he could light up the remaining six holes. 

With that thought, Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the ground to recover his soul power and then began to channel a large amount of it into the black bone pendant. 

Soon, the second hole lit up, and the surrounding gravity increased to four times normal. 

Under the immense pressure, Ye Chen had to summon the Seven Star Demon Abyss, and with his martial soul appearing, much of the surrounding gravity was alleviated. 

Without hesitation, Ye Chen continued to channel his soul power, and soon the third and fourth holes lit up in succession, while the surrounding gravity reached an astonishing eight times. 

The weight felt like a mountain pressing down on him, pinning Ye Chen to the ground and making it hard to move. But surprisingly, the soul power within him surged under the immense pressure, and the automatic cultivation system kicked into high gear. 

Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but think, "The gifts from Master are truly impressive. At this rate, it won't be long before my soul power rivals that of high-level soul masters." 

"Not enough!" 

With a glint of determination in his eyes, Ye Chen lay on the ground and called forth his main martial soul: the Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel! 

The long-hidden Fallen Angel martial soul responded to Ye Chen's call and soon appeared above him. 

The Seven Star Demon Abyss automatically flew into the Fallen Angel's hands, and as the two fused, Ye Chen felt a surge of strength fill his body, allowing him to stand up under the eight times gravity. 

Immediately, the fifth hole on the pendant lit up, and the surrounding gravity suddenly jumped to sixteen times. Ye Chen trembled under such immense weight; this was the limit of what he could handle. 

"Automatic cultivation system, now it's your turn to shine." 

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Ye Chen tried to maintain the most energy-efficient position to endure the sixteen times gravity for as long as possible. 

The greater the gravity, the faster the automatic cultivation speed. He figured this was the best way to quickly grow stronger. 

Early the next morning, Ning Rongrong came to find Ye Chen to hang out, but when she saw him cultivating soul power, she decided to sit beside him, meditating and practicing in a similar way. 

When boredom struck, she would chat with Ye Chen, and when she got tired, she wouldn't head back but would lie on the bamboo bed in the sword hut to rest. 

However, their peaceful cultivation time didn't last long before a group of uninvited guests showed up. 

"Ye Chen, it's time to battle!" 

"Come out quickly, don't hide in there like a turtle." 

As he opened the door and stepped outside, Ye Chen raised his hand and released a beam of sword light, instantly sending the level 15 soul master who had knocked on the door flying. This scene left the dozens of disciples from various sects gathered outside in shock. 

At that moment, Ye Chen put a finger to his lips and said, "Shh, keep it down; Rongrong just fell asleep." 

As soon as he said this, everyone in front gasped in shock, taking several deep breaths. 

"Don't make noise!" 

For a moment, almost everyone had a dangerous thought in their minds; anyone who heard that sentence would inevitably think too much.
