Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

However, she was not disappointed at all when she was bounced back. On the contrary, she was very surprised because she saw that there were actually some cracks on the shield that the Dragon Lord had cast the spell on the moment she was knocked away.

These two swords truly possess the ability to pierce armor, but her own skill was insufficient to bring them to their full effect. If it were her grandfather, he might have actually broken through the Dragon Lord's defenses.

"Impressive, young lady. There's a difference of nearly fifty levels between us, yet you managed to break through my defense a little. With such attack power, if your opponent were someone below the Soul Emperor level, you would probably have already killed them!" Long Gong exclaimed. "However, your swordsmanship is not precise enough. You need to strike at the enemy's vitals. A slit in the throat is the essence of your short sword."

"Yes, thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty!" Bai Chenxiang was completely immersed in joy at this moment. All she wanted to do now was go home as soon as possible and tell her grandfather the good news.

As for swordsmanship, it's enough to learn basic swordsmanship at the beginning. Once he returns to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Chen Xin can easily create a set of dual-sword techniques without any problem.

Bai Chenxiang flew back to the crowd and said, “Brother Jun, with this item, I think Grandpa will have no choice but to join your sect. As for Grandpa Yang, although he has no hatred towards your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he still harbors resentment towards major sects because of what happened back then. It may take some effort to persuade him.”

"Don't worry about that. The fact that we have no grudge is enough. For me, there is no one in this world easier to subdue than Yang Wudi!" Tianlin said with a smile.

Bai Chenxiang was completely confused. Was the Yang Wudi that Tianlin mentioned the same person as her own Grandpa Yang?

Yang Wudi's stubbornness was directly proportional to his attack power; it would be extremely difficult for anyone to change his mind.

"Oh, Miss Bai, you don't need to worry about that at all. You just need to trust my boss. Since I met him, he has never failed to keep his word." Ma Hongjun was gradually developing in the same direction as Gu Ran, becoming blindly trusting of Tian Lin.

But this time Bai Chenxiang didn't say much, because at least so far, Tianlin was enough to convince her.

Several days later, the group finally arrived at the border of the Star Luo Empire.

The carriage stopped. After all, Tian Dou and Xing Luo were enemies, and to pass through here, the carriage had to be inspected by border soldiers.

This wouldn't take much time, and the soldiers realized that these people were all Soul Masters, so they didn't dare to offend them too much.

Unlike the original story, the three sleazy musketeers, Bu Le E Kao Tian Ya, did not appear. Perhaps they haven't arrived here yet because the timeline is different.

This can be considered the last bit of good luck for these three people, because if they had encountered Tianlin head-on, Tianlin would not have just taught them a lesson like Tang San and Ma Hongjun in the original story; he would have directly killed them.

These three are no good; they have harmed countless innocent girls. The reason they can remain carefree is because they are discerning and their own strength is not weak either.

As long as the target is an ordinary woman without soul power, those who want to cause trouble for them can't beat them, and those soul masters or nobles won't offend two soul emperors and a soul king for the sake of some commoners.

"What a pity. I'll come back to check on them when I get home after finishing my business!" Tianlin sighed. He was determined that if he were to run into them, he would definitely not let them go.

At this moment, the trio, who were wanted for committing too many crimes in Tiandou, were also on their way to Xingluo. Although they were not afraid of the ordinary arresting soldiers, they were also quite annoyed by being chased every day.

"Achoo, achoo, achoo!" Bu Le suddenly sneezed several times.

"Hey, not happy, you sneezed three times in a row, have you caught a cold?" Tianya mocked.

"Go away, you're the one with a cold!" Bu Le chuckled lewdly. "I bet the beauties of Tian Dou know I'm gone and are missing me, or the beauties of Xing Luo sense my imminent arrival and are eagerly awaiting it."

"That's right, I've been driven crazy by the soldiers of Tiandou lately. When we get to Xingluo, I'm going to grab a few girls to play with and relieve my fatigue!" E Kao looks like a burly man, but his filthy thoughts are no less than Bu Le's.

Unfortunately, the place they longed for will become their grave.

Chapter 308 Arrival in Xingluo

Several days later, Tianlin and his party finally arrived at the city where the Min clan lived.

Of the four major single-attribute families, all except the Strength family reside in Xingluo. The Defense family is in Longxing City, while the Agility family is in a city called Yunhe City.

Yunhe City is just a small city, and it is quite remote. Back then, the four major single-attribute families were very prestigious clans, but now they have fallen to this remote area.

The clan leader, Baihe, chose to live here because it is a remote place with low prices and is far from other sects, making it less likely for conflicts to occur.

The carriage stopped in front of a large mansion. Tianlin pulled Ning Rongrong down from the carriage and looked around. Although the mansion was very large, the walls were dilapidated. The golden character "Min" on the plaque was also peeling, indicating that it had been neglected for many years. This showed how poor the Min clan had been before.

They are clearly a family with a Soul Douluo-level expert. Other families could take off even if they only had one Soul Saint. But because they offended the Spirit Hall, everyone avoids them. This continent really does rely on strength and power to speak.

Contra is undoubtedly a powerful figure to ordinary people, but compared to a behemoth like the Spirit Hall, it is just a minor character.

"This is the Min clan, it's even more amazing than I imagined..." Ma Hongjun was about to exclaim when he suddenly remembered that Bai Chenxiang was right next to him, so he quickly shut his mouth.

"You mean to say rubbish, right? Compared to your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, my family is indeed nothing." Bai Chenxiang wasn't angry, because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had been kind to her. Given Ma Hongjun's current status as a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and considering that Tianlin and Gu Ran had mentioned his strength as the second-best among the younger generation in the sect, she couldn't possibly look down on him like she did in the original story.

"That's not what I meant," Ma Hongjun explained hastily.

"Don't worry about it. It's all just appearances. Brother Jun and Sister Rongrong gave us a lot of money back then, enough for us to renovate. It's just that because the Spirit Hall and the Lower Four Sects have been pressuring us too much lately, Grandpa hasn't had time to do these things. Actually, our lives are already much better." Bai Chenxiang smiled and stepped forward to push open the door. "Brother Jun, Sister Rongrong, His Majesty the Dragon and Snake, Senior Snake Granny, and... Hongjun, welcome to my home. Please come in!"

"Excuse me!"

As everyone entered the courtyard, Ma Hongjun quietly approached Tianlin and Ning Rongrong and whispered, "Boss, Rongrong, did you hear that Miss Bai called me Hongjun just now?"

"That proves that your efforts these past few days have yielded some results," Tianlin said with a smile.

Ma Hongjun showed an extremely grateful expression and said, "Hehe, I have to thank you for your guidance, Boss!"

Tianlin once told him that if he took a liking to Bai Chenxiang, it was fine to treat her well and be a little attentive, but he shouldn't be too sycophantic, as that would only make the girl think he was sleazy.

So, although Ma Hongjun took good care of Bai Chenxiang these past few days, he didn't swarm around her like a fly. He continued his cultivation as usual, which made Bai Chenxiang feel that he was not only gentle but also a very serious and hardworking person.

As for his appearance, thanks to Qin Ming's training, Ma Hongjun is much thinner than before. In fact, he can no longer be called a fat man; he's just a bit more muscular than the average person. In addition, his facial features aren't bad, so even if he can't be called a handsome man, he's at least of average build.

In summary, Ma Hongjun doesn't need to fawn over anyone. With Tianlin's help, becoming a Title Douluo will be a piece of cake for him, and the path to godhood is his ultimate goal.

No matter how beautiful Bai Chenxiang is, is it not good enough for someone with divine beauty to be worthy of her?

As for the future, Tianlin will help him. As long as Ma Hongjun doesn't give up, wins Bai Chenxiang's heart, and completely gets rid of his lazy habits, then as a reward for calling him "boss," Tianlin will do everything in his power to help him achieve the position of a first-level God of Fire.

That tragic ending, where the phoenix becomes a god and the swallow loses its soul, will never happen to its own brother.

"Grandpa, I'm back!" Bai Chenxiang shouted as she entered the courtyard.

A short while later, a tall, thin old man walked out from the central hall, his long gray hair cascading down his back. This man was none other than Bai He, the Soul Master of unparalleled speed, an eighty-one-level pure agility-type Soul Douluo.

Beside the white crane was another old man walking alongside him. He had black hair, a somewhat gloomy face, and an extremely sharp aura. Apart from the fact that the aura was not sword energy, he was practically a weaker version of Chen Xin.

"Grandpa Yang, you're here too!" Bai Chenxiang exclaimed in surprise.

Hearing her address, Tianlin knew who she was: Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Po Yi Clan, an 82-level powerful attack-type Soul Douluo. No wonder she could stand on equal footing with Bai He.

“Ever since Feng Tianlei and Feng Langdie left, I’ve been worried they’d come back to cause trouble for Old White Bird, so I decided to stay here. With me here, those two guys won’t dare to mess around,” Yang Wudi explained, his words radiating confidence, even arrogance.

But Tianlin knew he had the ability. Although he was only an 82-level Soul Douluo, he could even trade his life for a life with some weaker Title Douluos in a real fight.

For example, if Meng Shu, the Dragon Lord behind Tian Lin, did not use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique with the Snake Granny, he would definitely win in a sparring match against Yang Wudi. However, if it turned into a death match, it would most likely result in both sides being injured.

"Xiangxiang, are those people behind you friends from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?" Baihe asked. "Why don't you introduce them to your grandfather?"

“Yes, Grandpa.” Bai Chenxiang responded, pointing to the Dragon and Snake, “These two are the patriarchs of the affiliated families of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, His Majesty the Dragon and Snake, and his wife, Senior Snake.”

"Your Majesty, Dragon Serpent?" Bai He and Yang Wudi were startled. They knew about Dragon Lord Meng Shu, but wasn't that a Soul Douluo?

"Haha, patriarchs, nice to meet you both. I've recently had some enlightenment and just successfully broke through. The news hasn't spread yet, so not many people know about it." As he spoke, Dragon Lord released his nine soul rings—two yellow, three purple, and four black—the most direct evidence.

Upon seeing this, Bai He and Yang Wudi quickly clasped their hands and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty, Dragon Serpent!"

Although these two Soul Douluos were arrogant, they did not lose their manners when facing Title Douluos who had no enmity with them or even had been kind to them. Title Douluos were the most honorable beings on the continent, even comparable to the emperors of empires, and no one could deny this highest level of social status.

"Oh!!!" Long Gong clutched his chest again. Compared to Bai Chenxiang, a little girl who had never seen the world, being addressed like that by two Soul Douluos was indeed much more pleasant for him.

Chapter 309 White Crane and Yang Wudi

"Xiangxiang, what's wrong, Your Majesty?" Baihe asked, puzzled, seeing that the Dragon Duke looked as if he had just returned from a brothel.

"Well, His Majesty the Dragon Serpent hasn't quite adjusted to his new identity yet because he just broke through recently. He'll be fine in a little while!" Bai Chenxiang had gotten used to it these past few days. Although the people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were all very good, they would occasionally have a relapse.

For example, when Tianlin explained financial issues to her, he would use terms like GDP that she couldn't understand.

Then there's Ma Hongjun. This guy's daytime cultivation is fine; he's very diligent. It's just that he can't get up for morning exercise. Only when Ning Rongrong tells him that Teacher Qin Ming is here will he act like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, crying out, "Teacher, I was wrong!" and then start running like crazy.

Bai Chenxiang was somewhat worried that if their Min clan joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they would eventually be led astray.

There was no need for introductions to Yu Feng and Huan Yin, as they were family. After introducing Gai Shi Long She, Bai Chenxiang turned to Tian Lin and Ning Rongrong and said, "Grandpa, these two are our great benefactors, Brother Jun Tian Lin, the vice sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Sister Ning Rongrong, the successor sect master!"

"Oh, so you're the famous Sword Lord." Yang Wudi's eyes lit up, and he walked over with an appreciative look. He patted Tianlin on the shoulder and laughed loudly, "Haha, you truly are a dragon among men! I've heard that you killed two Title Douluos in one fell swoop during the Spirit Hall's massacre. Is that true?"

"It was just luck, you flatter me, senior!"

Tianlin never expected that the information about Operation Soul Hunting had already spread to everyone, even Yang Wudi, who was far away in Xingluo, knew about it.

In fact, most of these rumors were spread by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School itself, in order to enhance Tianlin's reputation.

The saying "A tree that stands out in the forest will be felled by the wind" is only for children who haven't grown up. With Tianlin's current strength, even a Super Douluo would have to think twice before trying to kill him.

Moreover, the reason they concealed it before was to guard against the Spirit Hall. Now that Tian Lin has directly revealed his full strength in front of the Spirit Hall, what's the point of hiding it?

On this continent, apart from the Spirit Hall, there are no other forces that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School needs to fear. It wouldn't be a big deal if word got out. Instead, they could use Tianlin's star power to attract more young people to join the sect.

"Why so modest? Killing a Title Douluo isn't something that can be accomplished by mere luck. You have no idea how surprised and happy I was when I heard the news. I wished I could drink three hundred cups with you, young hero, and today that opportunity has finally arrived!" Yang Wudi truly admired Tianlin.

If we were to say who he hated the most, the second would be the Clear Sky Sect, who discarded them like trash, and the first would be the Spirit Hall, who directly took action.

The Spirit Hall was utterly defeated by Tianlin. He was thrilled just hearing the news, but at the same time, he felt a little dejected. When it came to fighting the Spirit Hall, how did the Clear Sky Sect do it back then? They abandoned all their affiliated families and let them be slaughtered by the Spirit Hall, while they themselves went into hiding.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, on the other hand, gathered all its strength to fight the Spirit Hall head-on and ultimately prevail.

He joined the Clear Sky Sect back then because he admired the terrifying attack power of the Clear Sky Hammer, but what happened? The so-called number one weapon spirit in the world is all bullshit. He's not even as courageous as a support sect.

"Alright, let's stop chatting here. Young friend Sword Lord, young friend Rongrong, and the virtuous couple, please come inside for a chat. I must express my sincere gratitude for the kindness you have shown to my sect." Bai He led everyone into the house.

After a disciple prepared tea and refreshments, everyone took their seats in the reception room.

Bai He then noticed that Bai Chenxiang seemed to have forgotten to introduce someone. "Xiangxiang, who is this young man in red?"

"Junior Ma Hongjun, Martial Soul Fire Phoenix, Level 56 Power Attack Type Battle Soul King, please give me your guidance, seniors."

Ma Hongjun appeared very reserved in front of Bai He, after all, he was the grandfather of his sweetheart, and he didn't want to leave a bad first impression.

Because the Soul Hunting Operation was brought forward, the current timeline is nearly two years earlier than in the original story, but Ma Hongjun's level is only two levels lower than before, which shows his talent.

"Another prodigy," Bai He and Yang Wudi thought to themselves at the same time. Ma Hongjun was about the same age as Bai Chenxiang. Bai Chenxiang had just passed level 40, while Ma Hongjun was already moving towards level 60. Such a cultivation speed was truly terrifying. The foundation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was really too profound.

Tianlin smiled inwardly. It seemed that the initial impression was not bad. Ma Hongjun's level and martial spirit alone were enough to attract Baihe.

“Senior Bai, please forgive me for getting straight to the point. Rongrong and I have come here today to hope that the Min clan will be accepted into our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. What is your opinion, Senior?” Tianlin took a sip of tea and asked directly.

"Hehe, young friend Sword Master is indeed a straightforward person." Bai He stroked his long beard and chuckled. "That child Yu Feng also tried to persuade me for a long time before. I admit that, under the current circumstances, joining your sect is the most suitable way for my Min clan to survive, but..."

As intelligence about the Soul Hunting Operation spread across the continent, Bai He was already tempted. Looking across the entire continent, the only ones who dared to take the Spirit Hall under their wing were the two great empires and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

However, the two great empires were not even on their radar. The hegemony of Xingluo was not suitable for the survival of sects. Tiandou was working to win over Haotian Sect. Only Qibao Liuli Sect suited their needs in every way.

However, the white crane seemed to have other concerns.

At this moment, Bai Chenxiang said, "Grandpa, I also hope you can agree, because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can not only protect us, but also completely solve the problem of our clan's weak attack power."

"What did you say?" Bai He stood up in surprise. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School actually had a way to solve the problem that had troubled him for many years.

"Grandpa, please look, this is it!" Bai Chenxiang took out the two short swords that Tianlin had given her and handed them to Bai He.

Upon seeing this, Baihe was greatly disappointed. He had thought it was something else entirely, but it turned out to be the use of weapons. He had tried this method before, after all, the Power Clan were experts in forging.

The problem is that ordinary weapons are completely useless against weapon spirit masters who have integrated their soul with their human body, or beast spirit masters with strong physical bodies.
