Douluo V: I intercepted Xiao Wu at the start, and I tricked Tang San into becoming crippled.

"You can use your martial spirit. Although my martial spirit isn't a sword, my swordsmanship, under my teacher's guidance, is also..."

"Qiang!"

Before Qian Renxue could finish speaking, the chopstick that Xiao Chen had picked up suddenly burst forth with sharp sword energy.

Even though they were nearly ten meters apart, Qian Renxue could still feel a slight pain like being pricked by needles, as well as a terrifying sword aura that was almost tangible.

Xiao Chen's talent in swordsmanship is probably even more terrifying than she expected!

With this in mind, Qian Renxue stopped being coy and nodded seriously to Xiao Chen.

"Since we have something to do, let's get started!"

"call out!"

The next moment, Qian Renxue made the first move, swinging her sword straight at Xiao Chen.

Although the sword techniques originated from the Heavenly Dou royal family, they included some elements that ordinary people could not perceive.

Innately sacred and noble, capable of breaking through all.

That was the unique aura of the Angelic Martial Soul!

Unfortunately, unless one's physical abilities are as terrifying as his, their perception will be at its maximum.

Otherwise, even a top swordsman like Chen Xin would have a hard time noticing it.

After all, the Angelic Martial Soul is itself a top-tier Martial Soul.

In some respects, it can even be called a divine martial spirit!

Therefore, without getting close to Qian Renxue and carefully sensing her internal condition, even Chen Xin could not see through Qian Renxue's disguise.

Unfortunately, although Qian Renxue's sword strike was quite powerful, it was still somewhat lacking compared to Xiao Chen's.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang..."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiao Chen also raised his hand and thrust out the chopsticks in his hand.

Strangely, even though the chopstick hadn't touched Qian Renxue's palace sword yet, it had already caused it to tremble violently.

The cracks spread rapidly, and it completely collapsed in less than two breaths.

Of course, this was only because Xiao Chen showed mercy.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even need to raise his hand; the ordinary palace sword in Qian Renxue's hand, which hadn't received any soul power or martial soul enhancement, would have been instantly annihilated by his sword energy, unable to withstand even two breaths.

"Use the card, the Distraction Card!"

At the same moment, Xiao Chen's figure spoke softly in his mind, and then he himself moved forward with the sword energy, directly arriving in front of Qian Renxue.

Using chopsticks as swords, they aimed directly at the other person's flawless white neck.

Amidst the crisscrossing sword energy, a strand of white hair suddenly drifted down from Qian Renxue's head.

At that moment, Xiao Chen raised his other hand and grabbed it.

Because the two were already close, Xiao Chen's action brought his hand directly close to Qian Renxue's perfectly sculpted ear.

Although they hadn't directly touched each other yet, Xiao Chen's aura had already surged out domineeringly, directly engulfing Qian Renxue.

At the same time, it also stirred her heart.

The distraction card is starting to take effect!

However, Qian Renxue truly lives up to her reputation as an angelic martial soul possessor.

At the same moment, Xiao Chen spoke calmly.

"Sorry, I interrupted your shot."

"It doesn't matter."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue snapped out of her momentary daze.

He then adopted a calm and composed demeanor, speaking in a seemingly flawless manner.

"As expected of Sword Douluo's disciple, his skill in swordsmanship is truly unbelievable, making him arguably the best among his peers."

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen merely nodded slightly in acknowledgment without saying anything more.

After all, although Qian Renxue pretended to be very calm on the surface, she still couldn't escape his perception, which was comparable to that of a soul beast.

Qian Renxue just momentarily lost focus!

Although it didn't last long, it was a very good start.

The most difficult step is to break through from 0 to 1; after that, it becomes much easier.

"..."

Qian Renxue was somewhat used to Xiao Chen's unwavering and impolite response.

His expression no longer showed any trace of confusion, and his ever-present friendly smile remained as he spoke.

"Xiao Chen, are we friends now?"

"normal friend."

Xiao Chen spoke calmly.

Qian Renxue was not angry when she saw this.

"In that case, are you free tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow, my father wants me to maintain order at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament to prevent chaos in the capital city caused by the gathering of various academies. To put it bluntly, this is just a formality, a way to show my face, and there's nothing difficult about it."

"It would be too boring for me to go alone. If you have time, you can come with me."

"..."

Xiao Chen remained silent, pretending to be deep in thought.

After all, this was their first meeting, and if they agreed to each other's request right away, Qian Renxue would definitely become suspicious.

Qian Renxue didn't rush him, and just waited quietly by his side.

He continued to observe Xiao Chen, hoping to gain more information about him so that he could work for him.

However, Xiao Chen's sword strike just now was quite good, pretty cool...

No, don't let your imagination run wild.

Seeing that the time was about right, Xiao Chen spoke up.

"Okay, but I'll have to bring some people with me, because I already have plans for tomorrow."

“No problem, I’d also like to get to know you, genius.”

Qian Renxue smiled in response, without refusing.

In her opinion, Xiao Chen wasn't bringing friends at all, but rather his bodyguards.

After all, they said they had just met, so it was impossible for them to completely trust each other.

Afterwards, Xiao Chen chatted casually with Qian Renxue before seeing her off.

They just met today, so naturally they can't spend too much time together, otherwise it would seem that he's being too eager for Qian Renxue.

Ultimately, this not only failed to achieve any positive effect in winning over Qian Renxue, but also aroused her suspicion.

But, shall we go out together tomorrow?

This is something to look forward to...

Chapter 287 Tang San is unwilling to accept defeat and arranges hidden weapons

The Heavenly Dou Royal Family's Exclusive Blacksmith Factory.

Deepest inside, in a private room isolated from the outside world.

A man with dark skin and a disheveled appearance was repeatedly hammering metal in his hand with an iron hammer.

The bald patch on his head swayed with his movements, creating a rather indescribable look.

This person is none other than Tang San!

Although Prince Snowstar later granted him some freedom and no longer confined him to his quarters, it was only relatively so.

They now have a fixed number of hidden weapons to forge each week, and they are absolutely not allowed to leave this place until they finish, not even for eating, drinking, or relieving themselves.

Such treatment made him look like a beggar, extremely disheveled.

"boom!"

At one point, the iron door of the room was suddenly pushed open.

Then Dai Mubai, leaning on his crutch, limped in with Yu Xiaogang.

They came to deliver food.

As for the unpleasant smell in this room?

The two of them were already used to it.
