Chapter 28: Chen Xin's Appearance - Douluo's spirit bead sword

### Chapter 28: Chen Xin's Appearance "Since it's just a misunderstanding, let's end this here today. Instructor Bai Bao Shan, sorry to have disturbed you." Ultimately, Aolf chose to back down; after all, he couldn't provoke two titled Douluos standing on the opposite side. "Grandfather, are we just going to let this go? That commoner gets away with everything?" Aldo was unsatisfied; while Ye Ling Ling remained unfazed, he wasn’t willing to let Tian Lin off so easily. Aolf dotingly patted his grandson's head, "Don't worry, I'll see you get justice sooner or later. Boy, consider yourself lucky today, but this is only temporary. Be more careful when you're out and about." Hearing this, Bai Bao Shan's face turned ugly. Threatening one of his students right in front of him was practically disregarding him entirely. Yet, due to his position, he couldn't act rashly, lest it be seen as a provocation against the Ao family. But while he refrained from acting, it didn't mean others could bear the situation any longer. At least, someone in the sky couldn't hold back. In an instant, a terrifying killing intent descended from above, accompanied by an angry voice, "Aolf, you might be safe, but I'm not!" Aldo, Aolf, and Ye Ping were crushed by that killing intent, spitting blood, especially the weakest of them, Aolf, who felt like his bones were about to break. Interestingly, nobody else was affected under this massive killing intent. It clearly showed the wielder's mastery over their control of such overwhelming aura. "What a terrifying killing intent, and so precisely controlled. There are probably only a few in the world who can do this," Tian Lin thought, immediately recalling three names. Bibi Dong, Tang Hao, the two known to possess the Killing God Domain, and Sword Douluo Chen Xin, whose Seven Kill Sword Domain's intensity of killing intent wasn't inferior to the Killing God Domain. "Master, is that you?" Tian Lin suddenly called out, looking up. On the roof of the administration office, a flash of sword light appeared, slicing through the roof like a knife through tofu. Chen Xin flew in on his sword, standing proudly in mid-air. "Sword Douluo Chen Xin!" Aolf stammered, terrified. Sword Douluo Chen Xin was even more fearsome than Thunder Douluo or Poison Douluo; it was said his soul power had reached the realm of a Super Douluo. Alongside support from Ning Fengzhi, he could easily take on three or four average titled Douluos alone. Wait, what did that commoner kid just call Chen Xin? Master? "Boy, are you the apprentice of Sword Douluo?" Aolf sought confirmation, hoping Tian Lin would deny it. Unfortunately, Tian Lin only offered four words, "Direct disciple, indeed." "You... why didn't you say so earlier?" Aldo was completely dumbfounded. Had he known this person was a disciple of a titled Douluo, not even with three lives to risk would he dare to lay a hand on him. Tian Lin helplessly gestured, "You never asked. You only questioned me about my father and mother's identity, and I answered honestly, didn’t I?" "You didn’t have to be so truthful..." Aldo was almost in tears, realizing he had kicked an iron plate. Not only would he suffer, but even his grandfather might not escape unscathed now. Chen Xin descended gradually with his sword. "Aolf, I've heard everything from start to finish. Your grandson was wrong, yet you blamed my disciple, bullying the weak. Did you take me for a corpse?" Though he spoke calmly, the chilling undertone was unmistakable. While Chen Xin was strict with Tian Lin, he also cared deeply for him. As a mentor, it was his duty to protect his disciple. As long as he lived, no harm should come to Tian Lin. "Your Grace, this was all my fault. I shouldn't have attempted anything against your disciple. Please forgive me. The Kingdom of Balak will offer substantial compensation in the future." Aolf spoke humbly; he had no choice given the situation. Moments ago, he held the advantage and could afford arrogance, but against Chen Xin, he was as weak as a bug. "Forgiveness comes at a price," Chen Xin said, gripping his Seven Kill Sword. With a casual wave, before Aolf could react, one of his ears inexplicably fell off. "Thank you, Your Grace, for showing mercy!" Aolf endured the pain, understanding this was as good an outcome as he could hope for. Losing an ear was far better than losing a life. Bai Bao Shan glanced at both Tian Lin and Chen Xin, thinking how similar their punishment methods were—a true reflection of master and apprentice. "Alright, get out of here!" With a dismissive wave, Chen Xin also remembered something else, adding, "Oh, I accidentally took off part of the administration office's roof, but since the cause was you, you can cover the cost!" Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan wasn't short on money, nurturing an exceptional soul master was resource-intensive. Chen Xin believed in saving where he could. Seeing through his intentions, Aolf inwardly screamed, Couldn’t you use the door? You claim to save money but still wreck the roof. But he dared not voice his frustration, merely bowing and saying, "Understood, goodbye, Your Grace!" Not wanting to linger a moment longer, Aolf grabbed his grandson and swiftly departed the scene. Indeed, the urge to flee often unlocked one’s potential; Aolf's speed now surpassed many agility-type Battle Spirit Douluos. "Almost forgot about you—helping to frame my disciple without just cause." Chen Xin's protective nature flared up again, unwilling to spare Ye Ping. Ye Ping, paralyzed by the Sword Douluo's killing intent, longed to remain unseen, hoping Chen Xin would overlook him, but it appeared inevitable. "I'm sorry, Your Grace, I was wrong. From now on, I promise to look after Young Master Tian Lin and ensure he makes no more mistakes," Ye Ping grovelled, yet his intentions were clear; standing by Tian Lin's side regardless of right or wrong. He wasn't proposing to shape Tian Lin into a trouble-free child but to imply that, even if mistakes were made, they wouldn't be Tian Lin's fault. He’d always back him up. This suggested enabling Tian Lin's irresponsible behavior. Chen Xin frowned; after spending significant effort molding Tian Lin, having someone openly say they’d let him grow spoiled was intolerable, making him reconsider leniency. Seeing the Sword Douluo gathering killing intent, Bai Bao Shan intervened, delivering a blow to Ye Ping's back, dispersing all his soul power. "Your Grace, I’ve stripped this man of his abilities and will expel him from the academy. Please quell your anger." Despite his own dissatisfaction toward Ye Ping, Bai Bao Shan's benevolence prevented him from desiring the man’s death. Seeing this, Chen Xin sheathed his Seven Kill Sword. "Bai Bao Shan, you're a good man. For standing up for my disciple, I’ll grant you this favor." "Thank you, Your Grace." Bai Bao Shan exhaled in relief. "Master, when did you arrive?" With the situation resolved, Tian Lin approached with his question. "I never left. From the moment you left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, I've always been around," Chen Xin replied.
