Chapter 113: with translation of chapter title

"Oslo, forty-first rank agility attack battle soul ancestor, please advise!" Oslo stared solemnly at Gu Xuan, two yellow and two purple soul rings fluctuating on his body, his martial soul manifesting as a black ghost leopard.

But we need to be faithful, not add extra. Let's translate precisely.

Oslo, a forty-first-rank agility-attack battle soul ancestor, said, "Please advise!" Oslo stared solemnly at Gu Xuan, with two yellow and two purple soul rings fluctuating on his body, his martial soul manifesting as a black ghost leopard.

We need to keep quotes and punctuation? The Chinese includes quotation marks 「」 and exclamation. We should translate the content but keep the punctuation? Usually we translate the quoted speech as English with quotes. We'll keep the same punctuation style: use English quotes? The instruction: translate faithfully, not add or omit. We'll translate the quoted speech into English, keeping the quotation marks as English double quotes? The source uses Chinese book marks 「」. We can replace with English quotes? Usually we keep the meaning; we can use English double quotes. The instruction didn't specify to keep Chinese punctuation; we just need to translate the text. We'll output English sentences with appropriate punctuation.

Thus line 【1】 translation: "Oslo, forty-first rank agility attack battle soul ancestor, please advise!" Oslo stared solemnly at Gu Xuan, two yellow and two purple soul rings fluctuating on his body, his martial soul manifesting as a black ghost leopard.

The phrase "forty-first rank agility attack battle soul ancestor" translates to "forty-first rank agility attack battle soul ancestor". "Battle soul ancestor" means "battle soul ancestor". According to the glossary, Soul Ancestor means Soul Ancestor, so "battle soul ancestor" is battle soul ancestor. So the translation is "forty-first rank agility attack battle soul ancestor". Good.

Two yellow and two purple soul rings fluctuated on his body.

His martial soul manifested as a black ghost leopard.

Gu Xuan looked at Oslo, with no intention to release his martial soul; soul power light surged around his body, and behind him eight dragon swords appeared after he spoke, extending slightly, exuding a domineering presence.

Behind him, eight dragon swords appeared after he spoke, extending slightly; domineering and imposing.

Thus line 【2】 translation: Gu Xuan looked at Oslo, not intending to release his martial soul, soul power light surged on his body, behind him eight dragon swords appeared after he spoke, extending slightly, domineering and imposing.

Translate: However he also didn't refute anything, after all Yu Tianheng had a saying that was correct, Gu Xuan could give them Hunyuan pills, there's no reason he wouldn't have one.

: Line 【11】: Chinese; translate.

Translate: Moreover, Gu Xuan now has an extra soul bone, and why does this soul bone look so handsome? Are you sure you're not just showing off?

Note: there is a typo (the character meaning "you") but we translate as "you". We'll keep meaning.

: Line 【12】: Chinese; translate.

Translate: There was no referee, because Gu Xuan simply wanted to beat Oslo up.

: Line 【13】: Chinese; translate.

Translate: "Sword One." Gu Xuan softly said, a dragon sword detached from behind him and shot toward Oslo.

: Line 【14】: Chinese; translate.

Translate: "!" Oslo was shocked, this damn, no prelude at all, right?

: Line 【15】: Chinese; translate.

Translate: Fortunately, Oslo now is no longer the original Oslo, his reaction was quick, the first soul ring on his body instantly lit up.

Translate: Speed increased by fifty percent.

: Line 【18】: Chinese; translate.

Translate: With the release of the first soul skill, Oslo instantly turned into a black shadow, evading the dragon sword's attack.

: Line 【20】: Chinese; translate.

Translate: Another dragon sword detached, the two dragon swords formed a pincer movement and pursued Oslo's advancing direction.

: Line 【21】: Chinese; translate.

Translate: "This external soul bone is so awesome?!" Oslo was inwardly astonished, but his speed was not slow.

Note there is a stray quote. We'll translate: Gu Xuan still stood still, lips slightly parting: "Sword Three, Sword Four."

: Line 【25】: Chinese; translate.

Translate: As Gu Xuan's words fell, another two dragon swords detached, the four dragon swords instantly compressed Oslo's advancing space, each clone locked onto by a dragon sword.

: Line 【26】: Chinese; translate.

Translate: Oslo's main body was also being chased by two dragon swords, preventing him from approaching Gu Xuan, because he now realized that to get close to Gu Xuan he must first deal with those dragon swords.

: Line 【27】: Chinese; translate.

Translate: Moreover, Gu Xuan still had four dragon swords behind him, making his scalp go numb.

: Line 【28】: Chinese; translate.

Translate: Moreover, Oslo never expected that Gu Xuan could easily lock onto his main body, forcing his attacks to be hesitant.

: Line 【29】: Chinese; translate.

Translate: Because each dragon sword's pressure on him is no less than that of a weapon martial soul of a soul ancestor above rank forty, even greater.

: Line 【30】: Chinese; translate.

Translate: Gu Xuan, however, was much simpler: he had accepted Chen Xin's eight strands of Seven Slaying Sword intent, though he hadn't had time to fully digest it, it also let him grasp two more dragon swords, his divided attention control had only just reached the Four Apertures Steady Heart, after all he hadn't specially trained it.

: Line 【31】: Chinese; translate.

Translate: In just two months being able to reach this level is already quite good; when Gu Xuan reaches the Seven Apertures Like-Mind Heart, he will be able to fully control the eight dragon swords to fight simultaneously.

: Line 【32】: Chinese; translate.

Translate: As for now, four dragon swords are already Gu Xuan's limit.

: Line 【33】: Chinese; translate.

Translate: After all, specialization exists; he had only just obtained the Sword Dragon Eight Wings a few months ago, sword technique needs polishing, and sword intent also needs nurturing.

: Line 【34】: Chinese; translate.

Translate: Using a single color to deal with Oslo is already enough, not because Oslo is weak but because Gu Xuan's foundation is too high, his strength too superior.

: Line 【35】: Chinese; translate.

Translate: Sword Dragon Eight Wings comes from a nine‑million‑year‑old Sword Wing Magic Dragon; even with Gu Xuan's current strength he cannot fully unleash its power, but it is enough to deal with a soul ancestor. "Seven Slaying Sword Manual First Form — Sword Intent Fervent Crossing!"

: Line 【36】: Chinese; translate.

Translate: This is the sword technique heart method that Chen Xin transmitted to Gu Xuan along with the eight strands of Seven Slaying Sword intent, and also the orthodox heart method of the Seven Slaying Sword.

Translate: The four dragon swords suddenly erupted, Oslo shouted loudly, his figure instantly retreated far from Gu Xuan, and at the same time the purple fourth soul ring on his body lit up.

: Line 【46】: Chinese; translate.

Translate: Continuing like this, even without Gu Xuan making a move, he himself would run out of mana.

: Line 【47】: Chinese; translate.

Sword Way — Four Swords Return to One…… Flying Dragon Breaks Heaven!

Thus line 53 translation: "Sword Way — Four Swords Return to One……"

Line 54 translation: "Flying Dragon Breaks Heaven!"

But we must keep each line separate as per input. So we output 【53】 and 【54】 separately.

Sword Way — Four Swords Return to One……

Flying Dragon Breaks Heaven!

: Line 【55】: Chinese; translate.

Translate: This is a move Gu Xuan devised by simulating one of the soul bone abilities of the Sword Dragon Eight Wings; although it doesn't match the soul bone ability attached to the Sword Dragon Eight Wings, the power of four swords combined is enough to make Gu Xuan invincible among his peers.

: Line 【59】: Chinese; translate.

Translate: Seeing this scene, Gu Xuan seemed to see his former self, his expression strange as he lightly waved his hand: "Scatter!"

: Line 【60】: Chinese; translate.

Translate: As the words fell, the sword dragon that had just dove down in front of Oslo turned into specks of sword qi light scattering in the air, making the air feel endlessly sharp.

Now we need to ensure each line is a single output line with 【N】 prefix.

Now we need to output after all lines the ===TITLE=== and

Gu Xuan glanced at Osluo, not intending to release his martial soul; soul power light surged on his body surface, and behind him the eight dragon swords, after he finished speaking, appeared extending and slightly unfurled, exuding a domineering aura.

"?" Osluo froze, this fucking…

Yu Tianheng and the others were the same, twin martial souls? No, this fucking is a soul bone? An external soul bone?

They are not ordinary people, and initially Gu Xuan pulled them to the library to cram theoretical knowledge, so they naturally also had some understanding of external soul bones.

This fucking, after a few months not seeing, an external soul bone appeared? And to deal with a Soul Ancestor he doesn't even use his martial soul?

Everyone watched silently, although surprised, but no one spoke.

Gu Xuan softly said, "Using a martial soul would be a bit bullying; I'll use a soul bone."

Hearing Gu Xuan's words, Osluo had a black line across his face, an expression of seriously doubting you're showing off your soul bone.

However, he didn't refute anything, after all Yu Tianheng had a point: Gu Xuan could give them Hunyuan Dan, so there's no reason he himself wouldn't have one.

Moreover, Gu Xuan now has an extra soul bone, and why does this soul bone look so handsome? Are you sure you're not just showing off?

There was no referee, because Gu Xuan simply wanted to give Osluo a beating.

"Sword One." Gu Xuan softly said, a dragon sword behind him detached and shot toward Osluo.

"!" Osluo exclaimed in shock, "This damn, there's no prelude at all, right?"

Fortunately, the current Osluo is no longer the original Osluo; his reaction was quick, and his body surface first soul ring lit up instantly.

"First soul skill: Leopard Shadow Assault!"

Speed increased by fifty percent.

With the release of the first soul skill, Osluo's whole body instantly turned into a black shadow, evading the dragon sword's attack.

Seeing Osluo, whose speed had instantly increased, charging at him, Gu Xuan smiled faintly and softly said again, "Sword Two."

Another dragon sword detached; the two dragon swords formed a pincer movement, pursuing in the direction Osluo was advancing.

"This external soul bone is so awesome?!" Osluo's heart was astonished, but his speed was not slow.

"Third soul skill: Leopard Shadow Doppelganger!"

The purple third soul ring lit up, Osluo's figure split into three, attacking Gu Xuan from three directions, speed increased again.

Gu Xuan remained still, lips slightly parting: "Sword Three, Sword Four."

As Gu Xuan's words fell, another two dragon swords detached; the four dragon swords instantly compressed Osluo's charging space, each doppelganger locked by a dragon sword.

Osluo's main body was also pursued by two dragon swords, preventing him from approaching Gu Xuan, because he now realized that to get close to Gu Xuan he must first deal with these dragon swords.

Moreover, Gu Xuan still has four dragon swords behind him, making his scalp tingle.

And Osluo never imagined that Gu Xuan could easily lock onto his main body, forcing his attacks to be hesitant.

Because each dragon sword exerts pressure on him no less than that of a weapon martial soul of a Soul Ancestor above rank forty, even greater.

Gu Xuan, however, is much simpler: he accepted Dust Heart's eight paths of Seven Slaughter Sword Intent; although he hasn't had time to fully digest it, it also let him master two more dragon swords, and his divided attention control has barely reached the Four Apertures Steady Heart, after all he hasn't specially trained it.

Achieving this level in just two months is already quite good; when Gu Xuan reaches the Seven Apertures Like-Intent Heart, he will be able to fully control the eight dragon swords to fight simultaneously.

As for now, four dragon swords are already Gu Xuan's limit.

After all, specialization exists; he has only just obtained the Sword Dragon Eight Wings a few months ago; sword technique needs polishing, and sword intent also needs nurturing.

Using a single color is already enough to deal with Osluo; it's not that Osluo is weak, but that Gu Xuan's foundation is too high, his strength too superior.

The Sword Dragon Eight Wings come from a nine‑million‑year‑old Sword Wing Magic Dragon; even with Gu Xuan's current strength he cannot fully unleash its power, but it is enough to deal with a Soul Ancestor. "Seven Slaughter Sword Decree First Form — Sword Intent Unleashed!"

This is the sword technique heart method that Dust Heart transmitted to Gu Xuan along with the eight paths of Seven Slaughter Sword Intent, and also the orthodox heart method of the Seven Slaughter Sword.

As the continent's top attacking weapon martial soul, the Seven Slaughter Sword may not rank above the Clear Sky Hammer, but its power has never been inferior.

Although the Twelve Sword Decrees of the Seven Slaughter Sword Technique are inferior to the Clear Sky Sect's supreme art, the Great Sumeru Hammer, they still far surpass the Chaotic Piling Wind Hammer Technique; their power is not weak, and the killing aura makes one's heart tremble! Under the impetus of the Seven Slaughter Sword Decree, the four dragon swords burst forth with fierce sword light, sword intent crisscrossing, as if able to rend space itself.

"Not good!"

The four dragon swords suddenly erupted; Osluo shouted loudly, his body instantly recoiled away from Gu Xuan, and at the same time his body surface purple fourth soul ring lit up.

"Fourth soul skill: Absolute Shadow Chain Assault! Osluo's figure instantly turned into dozens of black shadows, scattering in all directions, then converging toward Gu Xuan to surround him, as if trying to tear him apart."

Gu Xuan smiled faintly, raised his hand and beckoned; the four dragon swords instantly rose into the air and flew back, circling around his body surface, spinning.

"Seven Slaughter Sword Decree Second Form — Sword Guarding the Four Directions!"

The four dragon swords rotate around his body surface; under the impetus of the sword decree they burst forth with fierce sword momentum, forming a four‑direction sword formation that guards Gu Xuan, preventing Osluo from closing in.

After continuously using several soul skills, Osluo's soul power is rapidly depleting; although he hasn't been injured so far, he also hasn't gained any advantage.

If this continues, Gu Xuan won't even need to act; Osluo will run out of his mana (blue bar) himself.

"Must break the stalemate!" Osluo thought inwardly, his body surface second yellow soul ring lit up, this being his single‑target strongest soul skill.

If even his second soul skill cannot break Gu Xuan's sword formation defense, his final outcome can only be a narrow defeat, after which Gu Xuan will give him a thorough beating.

"Second soul skill: Ghost Slash!"

As the second soul skill lit up, Osluo clasped his hands together and fiercely flung them toward Gu Xuan, releasing a two‑meter‑long dark‑black slash; this strike condensed half of his soul power, and he is determined to succeed.

"Hah! Trivial tricks!"

Gu Xuan did not continue defending; the four dragon swords forming the sword formation instantly merged into one great sword, pointing directly at Osluo's second soul skill, the sword's resonance rang like a dragon: "!"

"Sword Way — Four Swords Return to One…"

"Flying Dragon Breaks Heaven!"

This is a move Gu Xuan devised by simulating one of the soul bone abilities of the Sword Dragon Eight Wings; although it doesn't match the soul bone ability attached to the Sword Dragon Eight Wings, the power of four swords united is enough to make Gu Xuan invincible among peers.

One swing of the sword, a domineering sword dragon formed entirely of sword qi and soul power spewed forth, charging toward Osluo.

The sword dragon destroyed Osluo's second soul skill, which had condensed half of his soul power, and locked onto his figure.

With the qi locked on, Osluo could not escape; he instantly bowed his head and pleaded: "Captain, spare my life!"

Seeing this scene, Gu Xuan seemed to see his former self; his expression odd, he lightly waved his hand: "Scatter!"

As the words fell, the sword dragon that had just swooped down before Osluo turned into sword qi light dots scattering in the air, making the air itself feel endless sharpness.

Gu Xuan lightly sent forward the great sword formed by the four swords, held in his right hand; the great sword turned into four dragon swords and returned to his back, Gu Xuan stood there motionless, the eight dragon swords on his back slightly unfurled, his aura extraordinarily overbearing.

"Having strength is good, but being arrogant is your fault." Gu Xuan stared at Aosiluo's still somewhat fearful face and said with a light smile:

"Next."
