Chen xin vs percy (1)
Percy was eating slowly while looking out the window beside him. Right now, he was in a city close to the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire. He was on the second floor, right at a table facing a window. Seeing all kinds of people passing by on the street outside made him think of many things, but none of them were sad, and only one of them was a little melancholy.
Being close to the capital, this city had a large number of people and thus also businesses. The large number of people, even if it wasn't the same, reminded him a little of New York. Although, compared to the city in the United States, this planet barely had any pollution, making the air very clean and the atmosphere more peaceful.
Percy thought that a city as big as New York, accompanied by clean air and the green of the plants and trees would be great.
But, leaving the city of slaughter and the road to hell, as well as having passed three trials of the Asura God, made him realize that he was closer to divinity. A god, that was what he would become, something he never thought possible. He had denied the gift of immortality and divinity years ago, so now it was a bit ironic that he was closer to a god with every step he took.
And seeing those people who, in a few years, could be dead by the river of time, was a bit sad. The good thing was that, as a candidate for God King, if he managed to pass all the trials and become the Asura God, he could take several people with him as a reward, or even revive some.
"These past few days I've been sighing too much...", Percy twisted his lips with a small smile.
In the end, after eating his food, Percy left the tip on the table before leaving the place. He still had a way to go to be able to reach the capital. As for the third test, he still had a year to complete it, and it wasn't that difficult. The mission was to get all the spirit rings and spirit bones. Or in other words, to reach the titled douluo and get spirit bones.
When he came out, he took out Anaklusmos and the saber increased in size a little. Percy jumped on it and flew off towards the capital under the gaze of many surprised people. Using a weapon to fly was rare, only a few people could do it without a spirit ability, and while there were more with these abilities, it was still uncommon.

"What exactly do you want to buy, Fengzhi?" an old man asked curiously. He had silver hair neatly combed behind his back, with a simple and unadorned appearance, both eyes not fully open but slightly closed. His gestures in between gave off a very special feeling. His aura could be described as a sharp edge.
He was Chen Xin, Sword Douluo, one of the two title douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect/Clan. The other, of course, was Elder Gu Rong.
"RongRong's birthday is coming up, Sword Uncle. You should know that already. So I wanted to buy her a spiritual tool that I had been eyeing before."
"Ah…" Chen Xin smiled. He, along with his rival/friend, Gu Rong, were the ones who had turned the little girl into a little witch. They always gave her whatever she asked for, so they had spoiled the little girl too much. And while Ning Fengzhi was stricter with his daughter, he still spoiled her.
Chen Xin opened his mouth, but suddenly closed it as he looked to the side. From that spot, he felt an absurd killing intent and saw a young adult flying on a saber, which surprised him a little.
Pushing aside Ning Fengzhi who was flying with a flight-type spiritual tool, Chen Xin stood on his sword as he looked cautiously. But when he realized who it was, he blinked slightly in surprise. He knew about Percy, in fact, everyone knew about the creator of the spiritual tools and owner of the shop that sold them.
"Is he the owner of the shop?" Ning Fengzhi muttered feeling that killing intent, but then blinked in confusion as he watched Percy pass them by without even looking at them.
"Quick, sword uncle…"
"Alright…" Chen Xin nodded and followed Percy, who glanced back before stopping.
"Do you need something, Ning Fengzhi?"
"We just thought you were an enemy," Chen Xin decided to reply. "Your killing intent is too strong."
Frowning, Percy looked at them for a moment before nodding, "I left the city of slaughter not long ago. Apologies if I made you feel uncomfortable."
"The city of slaughter?!" Ning Fengzhi exclaimed in surprise, "You actually entered such a dark place?"
"What's the matter?" Percy tilted his head slightly. "That place, except for a few people from the knights, the rest are just scum of humanity."
"But well, there's no point in talking about this," Percy looked at the two men in front of him while raising his eyebrows slightly.
Chen Xin, despite his surprise, was still interested in the saber-type martial spirit. Despite all the information that had been gathered about Percy, no one knew about his martial spirit. Now, however, he was seeing it. That saber held the presence of a sovereign of weapons, a killing intent that could drown the weakest and a sharpness that could even be felt from a distance.
Chen Xin's Seven Kills Sword was not weaker at all, especially with all his training in the way of the sword. He, as a title douluo, was not weak at all. And leaving aside Tang Hao, who possessed the Clear Sky Hammer, Chen Xin was known as the title douluo with the most powerful attack.
Chen Xin couldn't help but form a smile on his lips, looking with bright and powerful eyes at Percy.
"Would you be willing to have a battle with this old man?" Without hesitation at all, Chen Xin asked with a trace of seriousness. He could clearly sense the power of Percy's level 76, but even if he was weaker in terms of level, he knew that he couldn't underestimate Percy in the slightest. But rather than being afraid or wary, he just felt a little excited.
At his age, which didn't match his current appearance, plus his power level, it was hard to find a good opponent. And his friend/rival Gu Rong, didn't really count. They had faced each other so many times that it really wasn't fun anymore, nor was it interesting.
"Well...", before Ning Fengzhi could say anything, Percy had easily answered. He knew that it wasn't a bad idea, especially when the battle wasn't to the death. In this case, it would be a good opportunity to find out how far his strength had risen.
Percy slowly descended towards the ground as Chen Xin followed him and watched curiously. He now realized that flying was a spiritual ability, so fighting on the ground would be more fair. He had no problem with this.
"Chen Xin, Level 96 Title Douluo with the Sword Title. Spirit Master of the Attack/Assault System Martial Spirit: Seven-Death Sword," Chen Xin introduced himself as a courtesy and looked seriously at Percy.
"Perseus Jackson, Level 76 Spirit Saint. Spirit Master of the Attack/Assault System Martial Spirit: God-Slaying Sabre," Percy replied with the same courtesy as he held Anaklusmos in his right hand.
Ning Fengzhi watched from afar as the wind seemed to whistle around the two fighters. The leaves of the trees around the small forest they were in danced in the wind as they both stared at each other intently.
When a leaf landed right between the two, they both leapt towards each other. A sword and a saber collided, creating a powerful glow before the ground was cut in all directions. With the first clash, Chen Xin realized that although Percy's level was lower, his physical strength was similar to his.
In the second clash, both of them retreated and brandished their martial spirits with their respective intents again. The sword and saber trembled as they collided with each other, and then, in just the blink of an eye, they had already clashed weapons more than ten times. The martial spirits and their arms seemed like blurs as they moved at an incredible speed. The wind twisted and swirled with each movement as their feet moved and turned in place.
Clashes, stabs, slashes—each movement was swift, powerful, and extremely precise.
Suddenly, each of their first spirit rings manifested. Chen Xin had a yellow one, Percy had a purple one, causing the two Seven Treasure Glazed Tile men to be shocked.
"First Spirit Skill: Seven Slashes, One Kill!"
"First Spirit Skill: Bloody Edge"
Both of them moved at the same time; Percy saw at that moment how the seven-death sword slashed forward, but it formed seven powerful strikes that razed the ground ahead.
Each slash brought an almost blinding glow and a sharp aura that seemed to tear space apart. This was the spirit ability of a title douluo; a spirit ability mastered to the limit and that took advantage of its full potential.
But Percy did not lose momentum: when his first spirit ability was invoked, a bloody slash immediately swallowed three of the seven slashes of the seven-death sword and advanced without stopping towards Chen Xin. And at the same time, he began to release his second spirit ability.
Chen Xin had already dodged Percy's attack, noticing how Percy's second spirit ring: a black one, manifested and then Percy himself shone. Bursts of bright scarlet light erupted from his body. He was like a dazzling bloody star emerging deep in the forest. Shortly after, a densely woven saber net descended from the sky.
Countless scarlet lines created from soul power and saber intent manifested like a net that enveloped the world and descended at an enormous speed.
Chen Xin was shocked by the great range this spirit ability possessed. In fact, it was so large that he had to use a more powerful attack if he wanted to avoid it. If he moved by dodging alone, he would not be able to get out of the God-Slaying Saber Net. Furthermore, each of these lines that made up the net contained something that made him feel a little afraid.
Chen Xin's sixth spirit ring manifested at that moment. The black ring shone brightly around his body as he raised his Seven-Death Sword towards the sky.
"Sixth Spirit Ability: Myriad Swords Returning to the Tribe!"
At that moment, the sky darkened. But, in the blink of an eye, a glow illuminated the entire sky. One hundred... one thousand... one hundred thousand... a huge number of bright swords appeared above the skies, shining with an intensity similar to that of the stars.
"Go!" Chen Xin shouted, lowering his sword.
The swords descended towards the God-Slaying Saber Net and impacted. But it was not a matter of one impact; the swords descended like a rain, as if it were a punishment from heaven. A myriad of swords continued to clash, creating a brilliance that caused the entire forest to become obscured.
Percy couldn't help but smile at the sight of such a spiritual ability. It was incredible!
"But it's not enough," Percy muttered with a small smile. And as if it were a work of magic, each line that made up his killing net, shone with a gray light, causing everything to light up once again. The myriad of swords exploded at that moment, as did the net.
BOOOOOM!!
A destructive sphere manifested and seemed to have swallowed the fighters. Ning Fengzhi was shocked at the power of Percy's spirit abilities. He had only displayed the first and second, but he was already capable of matching Chen Xin's first and sixth abilities.
When the dazzling light faded, Ning Fengzhi inhaled sharply as he saw Chen Xin and Percy standing unharmed in front of each other. But beneath them, the ground had shattered; every piece of land had exploded, gashes more than ten meters deep were visible everywhere, and a large crater had formed around them.
