After leaving the Soul Hunting Forest Chen Xin led Jun Tianlin back to the seven treasure glazed tile clan on foot, They walked slowly and as Chen Xin took the time to teach Jun Tianlin swordsmanship along the way.

"Xiaotian all swordsmanship is built on seven movements: hooking,hanging, tapping, picking, stabbing, teasing, and chopping. No matter how advanced the sword technique, these seven actions are the foundation. This is also the essence of my Seven Killing Sword Technique. If you ever wish to pass it on in the future then you must master these seven movements to the perfection," Chen Xin explained.

For now Chen Xin was not teaching Jun Tianlin any advanced techniques but instead focusing on a solid foundation of basic swordsmanship He urged Jun Tianlin to practice diligently during the day and go to through the drills in the evening and after that to meditate instead of resting at night which could be said that Jun Tianlin had no time to rest.

However he harbored no complaints and after Chen Xin's guidance he had grown exponentially in just a few days and If he faced the previous version of himself from three days ago he was confident he could easily defeat himself.

Jun Tianlin's hard work greatly impressed Chen Xin. If on the first day Jun Tianlin's swordsmanship could be rated as a mere 0.1 out of 100 now he could at least score a 10 which is really a big progress

One morning Jun Tianlin woke up from his meditation and began his usual morning practice of basic swordsmanship as instructed However as he moved through the steps the entry swordsmanship from the Shushan sect suddenly flashed in his mind.

Without realizing it his movements deviated from what Chen Xin had taught him and he subconsciously began practicing the Shushan school's entry level sword moves.

This was a clear sign that his swordsmanship had reached a level of proficiency where he could begin exploring other techniques.

Shushan's introductory swordsmanship focused on lightness, fluidity, and freedom in footwork—swift but not rushed, slow but not lazy. The movements seemed almost ethereal and like those of gods.

Chen Xin watching from a distance noticed the change in Jun Tianlin's sword style and The agility and finesse of the sword strikes were immediately noticeable and With his keen eye Chen Xin could tell this was still an entry level sword technique but it was far more advanced than the basics he had taught Jun Tianlin.

"Stop for a moment, Xiaotian," Chen Xin called out"Tell me where did you learn the swordplay you're practicing?"

Jun Tianlin immediately halted, his face flushed. He cupped his fists and replied, "Teacher, this is something I came up with on my own No one else taught me."

The swordplay of Shushan and the secrets of Wahuang's lineage were Jun Tianlin's most guarded secrets and He plan to kept them hidden even from his teacher who had taken him in.

Entry level swordsmanship was harmless but advanced techniques is different matter, Revealing such things too soon could lead to unwanted questions, How could he explain that as a novice he had created such exceptional techniques like the Wanjian Jue, Sword God, and the Heavenly Sword Law? No one would believe him It would be better to wait until he was stronger and then reveal the sword techniques to Chen Xin.

"I see..." Chen Xin's voice was tinged with surprise "To think you could come up with something like this on your own You have quite the talent for swordsmanship I never expected this."

Jun Tianlin feeling a bit anxious asked "Teacher did I offend you by modifying the sword skills you taught me? I will stop if I did."

Chen Xin smiled and shook his head. "No, Xiaotian, I'm not angry Quite the opposite but i'm impressed."

He continued with a serious tone. "Listen carefully in the future if anyone tells you that swordsmanship must be practiced exactly as it is taught without modification you don't need to say a word Just cut them down with one strike That person is only hindering your progress."

"No two swords are alike in this world and no two swordsmen are the same Even though my Seven Killing Sword Technique was passed down by my father in my hands it has already evolved into something different and i hope you understand that it's the same for you What I teach you is just technique Your own sword intention and sword heart are unique to you and that you must make your own path."

Jun Tianlin's heart stirred with understanding though he only partially grasped the depth of Chen Xin's words. "I understand teacher I will make my own path."

"Good How would you rate the swordplay I just performed teacher?" Jun Tianlin asked, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

Chen Xin let out a chuckle. "I'd say... sixty points."

Sixty points might not seem like a high score but for Chen Xin it signified something meaningful It was not perfect but it was nearly good enough To Chen Xin this meant Jun Tianlin was almost ready to move on to more advanced techniques.

Twenty days passed in the blink of an eye and the two finally reached seven treasure glazed city What should have been a journey of just a few days had been extended due to their rigorous training along the way.

Upon returning to the sect, Chen Xin addressed Jun Tianlin. "Xiaotian, you've traveled far and trained hard. I'll allow you to rest for the day Go to your room and take some time to recover Meanwhile I will report our progress to Feng Zhi."

"Thank you, teacher!" Jun Tianlin replied before rushing off to his room.

There he found the soul power testing crystal ball waiting for him He couldn't wait to see just how much his soul power had grown.

The room had been maintained meticulously, even though he had been away for over half a month Jun tianlin tossed his luggage onto the bed and eagerly picked up the crystal ball channeling his soul power into it In an instant the crystal ball glowed brightly.

To his amazement Jun Tianlin saw the crystal ball shine with an intensity he had never expected. "Fifteenth level?!"

[TL:how do they know what lvl they reach with just the crystal ball shining bruh]

His heart raced with excitement He had suspected that after absorbing the 600-year-old soul ring his soul power would have surpassed level 13 but now it was clear that he was at least at level 14 and reaching lvl 15 after absorbing the soul ring and after more than half a month of practice he had reached level 15.

"This is incredible At this pace I might be able to deal with the future crisis in the future," Jun Tianlin thought and The looming threat of spirit hall's soul hunting operation weighed heavily on his mind If the events of the original timeline were anything to go by the soul hunting operation would take place in about 14 to 15 years when Jun Tianlin reach twenty.

Though time seemed short Jun Tianlin was confident in his ability to cultivate quickly and his talent and the Holy Spirit Bead would help him along the way He had tested it on the journey back Under the Holy Breath Barrier Chen Xin's soul power cultivation speed was improved by 10% but for Jun Tianlin the effect was 30% faster.

And then there was his secret method the Wahuang's Meditation Technique He had refrained from using it while in Chen Xin's presence but now his alone in his room it was the perfect time to focus on it.

Jun Tianlin sat cross-legged entering a deep meditative state and As for the rest of what Chen Xin had said he could leave that for later and What mattered most was surviving the future crisis and ensuring a better future.

Meanwhile back at the main hall Chen Xin had returned and was speaking with Ning Fengzhi recounting what he had learned during the trip.

"Tianlin was able to absorb a 600-year-old soul ring... that's nothing short of a miracle. If he had failed it could have killed him," Ning Fengzhi said, both relieved and worried seven treasure glazed tile clan's future title Douluo had come so close to disaster.

But then a thought crossed his mind, and his eyes sparkled with newfound excitement. "This child... he may just be the key to something far greater than we imagined."
