Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

No sooner had Miles finished asking than his henchman immediately chimed in for Si Long, "Still a blacksmith!"

"That's right, still a blacksmith. It's pathetic that you, a Soul Saint, are worse off than some Soul Sects. I've repeatedly advised you to merge the Blacksmith Association into my Spirit Hall, but you refused to take the right path. You're utterly foolish!" Miles mocked.

Si Long's face had turned ashen with rage. "Miles, what does this have to do with the current situation? You still haven't answered me why you sent people to surround my distinguished guests?"

"We received a report that yesterday, when Lou Gao Shen Jiang's disciples were selling weapons, they were disturbed by Soul Masters. Therefore, they wanted our Spirit Hall to uphold justice. At the time, there were only this group of Soul Masters around the blacksmith, so I have reason to suspect that they were the ones who did it. Now we need to arrest them and question them. After all, as long as they are Soul Masters, they are under the jurisdiction of our Spirit Hall!" Miles was extremely arrogant, quite like Ghost Douluo during the title conferment ceremony and Golden Crocodile Douluo during the Soul Hunting Operation. Unfortunately, his strength was not even worthy of shining their shoes.

"Nonsense! It was that blacksmith who was impersonating Master Lou Gao's disciple and swindling people, so we exposed him," Ning Rongrong said indignantly.

Her pouty expression made her even more charming and adorable than usual, which immediately caught Miles's attention.

Looking at Ning Rongrong, who was as beautiful as an angel, and Bai Chenxiang, who was holding her hand beside her and who was both cute and alluring, Aqi was right. Compared to these two beauties, the two he played with yesterday were not even of average appearance.

"Quickly, take them back! Anyone who resists will be killed on sight!" Miles swallowed hard and gave the order excitedly.

Tianlin was furious at this lecherous look. It was one thing to covet others, but to look at Rongrong with such eyes was just asking for trouble.

"Hmph!" Tianlin roared, unleashing his immense soul power without any concealment. Accompanied by a terrifying killing intent that shook the heavens and the earth, the group of soul masters who were about to rush forward suddenly felt a tightness in their chests and were all suppressed and unable to move. Some of them were even directly frightened into unconsciousness by Tianlin's killing intent.

Miles hadn't expected that Tianlin, who looked so young, would have such profound soul power. Just a moment ago, even he, a Soul Emperor, couldn't move. Could the boy in front of him be a Soul Saint, or even a Soul Douluo?

The Spirit Hall wields immense power, and Miles wasn't exaggerating. Even the city lord of Gengxin City would show him deference. Soul Masters are already of high status, and with the Spirit Hall's influence, he's practically a local tyrant in Gengxin City. However, ultimately, he's still a Soul Master. In the world of Soul Masters, strength is the only true measure of power.

“Miles, you just said that all the Soul Masters in the world are under the jurisdiction of your Spirit Hall, right? Well, I’m turning myself in now. I accidentally killed two people with my own soul power. These are the things that fell off their bodies. I don’t know if you recognize them?” Tianlin stepped forward, took out two plaques from his soul tool, and threw them on the ground.

Chapter 325 The Spirit Hall can never control the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School

"Confess?" Miles was puzzled. Could it be that the other party had backed down because of the Spirit Hall's reputation?

That's not impossible. After all, who on the entire continent would dare to easily offend the Spirit Hall?

Thinking of this, Miles smiled smugly, "You're smart to be lenient. Since you turned yourself in, I can give you a lighter punishment later. However, I'll have to interrogate these two girls myself. They were so arrogant just now. I wonder what crimes they're carrying."

"How could Bibi Dong be the Pope if she sent an idiot like you to be the head of the Martial Soul Hall?" Tianlin said with a helpless expression.

Miles actually thought he really wanted to turn himself in, failing to even realize the subtle dig.

"You, you actually dare to address His Holiness the Pope by his name!" Miles angrily pointed at Tianlin. "This is a grave offense of disrespect. You are dead today, and no one can save you."

"It's just a name, what's there to be afraid of? But thinking about it, I might have really misunderstood Bibi Dong this time. You're so much older than Bibi Dong, the person who appointed you as the Hall Master of the Spirit Hall must be someone else. By the way, have you ever heard the saying, 'You, Miles, with only six spirit rings, why do you seek your own destruction?'" Tianlin laughed, "The person who appointed you must be that idiot who said that!"

"You!" Miles wasn't angry this time, but trembling. How could he not have heard this phrase before? It was the favorite saying of their former Pope of the Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji.

Ever since Qian Xunji became a Title Douluo, he has become extremely arrogant. Apart from other Title Douluos of equal rank, even when he sees a Soul Douluo, he dismisses them with a mere eight Soul Rings, as if all living beings in the world are ants in his presence.

First, he calls the current pope by his full name, and then he publicly insults the former pope, calling him an idiot. This kind of person is either someone with a powerful background who is not afraid of the Spirit Hall at all, or he is definitely an idiot.

But Tianlin didn't seem like an idiot at all, and he realized he might have bitten off more than he could chew today.

"Quick, pick that thing up and let me see it!" Both signs were face down, so Miles didn't know what they were.

When a subordinate handed him the sign face up, his face turned deathly pale. In his panic, his whole body trembled, and the token slipped from his hand.

However, the pattern on the token was already clearly imprinted in his mind: the Heavenly Dou Six Royal Token, also known as the legendary Pope's Token. The holders of this token, besides the three Title Douluo of the Upper Three Sects, were the elders of the Spirit Hall.

“Hey, Miles, don’t think that just because I have these I’m an elder of your Spirit Hall. I have absolutely no connection with your Spirit Hall.” Tianlin immediately reminded him when he saw him like this. “These two tokens are actually stolen by me, and they are also evidence of my murders. Let me think, from whose body did they fall? Oh, it seems to be a Blood Demon Bear and a porcupine.”

"Elder Demon Bear and Elder Porcupinefish!" Miles exclaimed in surprise, pointing at Tianlin and saying tremblingly, "So...so you are the Sword Lord of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Jun Tianlin!"

So young and so powerful, Miles couldn't think of anyone else besides Tianlin.

Tianlin nodded. "That's right, it's me. Now you can avenge your two elders from the Spirit Hall. Kill me, the criminal who turned himself in. But I can't guarantee I won't fight back!"

Miles was now completely terrified. Revenge? What a joke.

You, Jun Tianlin, are an unparalleled ruthless person who dared to kill even the titled Douluo elders of the Spirit Hall and beat up even the Super Douluo of the Hall of Worship. With your small body, I'm afraid that if I were to be lightly touched by the edge of your demonic sword, my life would be in danger.

Miles hurriedly said, "Oh, it was Sword Lord in person. This whole thing was a misunderstanding. I've already investigated and found out that the guy yesterday was a fraud. He was impersonating Master Lou Gao's disciple and deceiving the people. Sword Lord, you stepped in to teach him a lesson. You're truly a chivalrous person."

After saying that, Miles prepared to turn and leave. He didn't think Tianlin would care about his status as the master of the Martial Soul Hall. After all, he dared to kill even a titled elder. What else in this world wouldn't he dare to do?

"You think you can just leave like this?" Tianlin reached out his hand towards him, a powerful soul force locked onto him, and then pulled him back.

Miles fell to the ground, and Tianlin stepped on his head. "You just said that your Spirit Hall can control all the Soul Masters in the world, right? Well, let me ask you now, can you control me, Jun Tianlin?"

"I...I can't control it! I misspoke just now, please spare my life, Sword Lord!" Miles was so terrified he wet himself. Face was irrelevant; all he wanted now was to save his life.

"Remember this: the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will never submit to any power. Only our own people can govern our school. Your Spirit Hall is not qualified. In the future, when you say you will govern all the soul masters in the world, remember to add the words 'except for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School' to your name. Understand?"

Miles nodded frantically, "Understood, understood, Lord Sword Master, I will definitely remember."

"Very well, now shout three times to the heavens that the Spirit Hall will never be able to control the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and I will let you go. Otherwise, you can say goodbye to your head and body!" Tianlin threatened calmly.

Miles hesitated. If he said those words, he would become a sinner in the entire Spirit Hall. If the higher-ups found out, would he have a good outcome?

He wanted to refuse, but Tianlin pressed his foot on his head harder and harder, and he even felt like his brains were about to burst.

"Sword Lord, spare my life! I'll tell you right away!" Miles immediately chose to compromise. He didn't care about the future at all; he only wanted to save his own life first.

"The Spirit Hall will never be able to control the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Spirit Hall will never be able to control the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Spirit Hall will never be able to control the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

Miles channeled his soul power and roared to the sky, his voice echoing throughout the streets and alleys of Gengxin City. The people were all astonished; the once arrogant and domineering Master of the Martial Soul Hall, Miles, had actually become so humble.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School truly lives up to its reputation as one of the three superior sects.

"Very well, get lost!" Tianlin kicked Miles in the stomach, sending him flying dozens of meters away.

Miles, who had finally managed to get up, didn't dare to utter a harsh word and slunk away.

"That was awesome! Boss is truly the boss, he beat this guy to a pulp!" Ma Hongjun exclaimed excitedly.

"That's right, it's so satisfying! Let's see if the Spirit Hall still dares to bully us!" Bai Chenxiang thought the same way. In the past, when the Min Clan saw people from the Spirit Hall, no matter how aggrieved they felt, they could only choose to go around them. This was the first time she had ever experienced such a triumphant scene.

Tianlin smiled at them and said, “You don’t need to think like that. The Spirit Hall isn’t all bad people. We just happened to encounter the dregs of it today. If we ever meet the best people who truly care about the people, we won’t be so hostile.”

"Boss, if we encounter the elites you mentioned, should we listen to them? After all, the Spirit Hall does manage most of the soul masters on the continent," Ma Hongjun asked.

Tianlin shook his head. "No, you just need to show them some respect and courtesy. Didn't you hear what Miles just said? The Spirit Hall can never control the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

Chapter 326 Tianlin's Speculation and Ning Rongrong's Appraisal Ability

Tianlin's words relieved Bai Chenxiang and Ma Hongjun. They had thought that if they encountered a good Martial Soul Hall Master in the future, they would really have to listen to him.

If you only have respect and goodwill, even Bai Chenxiang is perfectly fine. She hates the Spirit Hall, but she doesn't condemn everyone indiscriminately.

Since living in those small cities, she had indeed seen many managers of small Spirit Halls who were truly dedicated to the welfare of the people. They worked diligently to awaken the spirits of children for free and never withheld subsidies. It was just that the Min clan did not want them. There was even an elder from the Spirit Hall who, seeing their clan's difficult life, took the initiative to come to them and persuade them not to be so stubborn, reminding them that receiving subsidies and joining the Spirit Hall were two different things.

Even if such people belong to the Spirit Hall, Bai Chenxiang finds it difficult to feel any hatred towards them.

"Brother Jian, why didn't you kill him? Why did you expose your identity?" Ning Rongrong asked in confusion. "I can tell that guy is a petty and vindictive person. Now that you're alone, he'll definitely try to report this to Wuhun City so they can take the opportunity to attack and kill you."

“You’re right, he will definitely report to the Spirit Hall, but the Spirit Hall at this time is not so easy to deal with me,” Tianlin said with a smile.

"After witnessing the power of the Martial God Mountain God I summoned, they should understand that ordinary Title Douluos cannot kill me at all. Only by sending an elder can they possibly kill me. However, Qian Daoliu has promised that he will not take the initiative to attack my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School again. His credibility is still trustworthy. Moreover, he made an oath in the name of the Angel God, and he would never dare to break it easily."

"Furthermore, assuming I were a member of the Spirit Hall, when I learned that the two most outstanding geniuses of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were going out alone, I would definitely assume that they were being secretly followed by their strongest protectors, and I would not dare to act rashly."

"In fact, isn't that exactly the case? Even if Qian Daoliu really regrets it, we still have the Star Shift Talisman, which can directly summon my master. In that great battle, Qian Daoliu was pierced by sword energy. It would be impossible to remove my master's demigod-level sword energy in less than a year or two. He can't take action, and Jin E is not here. Unless the Spirit Hall risks mutual destruction by sending all its forces, what threat can a few elders pose?"

“They would never do that, because the Spirit Hall’s enemies are not only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but also the Clear Sky School and the two great empires. If they use all their resources to fight us to the death, unifying the continent would become a joke.”

"As for Bibi Dong herself, hehe, it's hard to say how much power she can exert right now. So I guess that after learning that I'm here, the Spirit Hall won't act rashly, but it won't remain inactive either. She'll probably come to meet me."

Upon hearing Tianlin pronounce her name, Ning Rongrong, with her keen intuition as a girl, immediately guessed that it was the character with the "woman" radical.

Holding Tianlin's hand, Ning Rongrong asked uneasily, "You want to see her?"

“Yes, this is a good opportunity. In the past, we’ve always been talking to each other while wearing masks. I really want to have an honest conversation with her. There are some things that need to be explained and confirmed as soon as possible.” Tianlin squeezed Ning Rongrong’s hand in return. “I’m sorry, Rongrong, I think I’ve been a bit of a jerk. After all these years together, I can’t say that I don’t have her in my heart at all, but I can promise that the most important person to me will always be you!”

"I understand, I believe in Brother Jian!" Ning Rongrong smiled indifferently. She couldn't be completely indifferent, but she preferred to believe in Tianlin.

"Thank you for what happened just now, young friend Sword Master." Si Long walked to Tian Lin's side and bowed to express his gratitude. He clearly understood that Tian Lin had deliberately escalated the matter into a conflict between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Spirit Hall in order to protect the Blacksmith Association.

Otherwise, if it were just a simple lesson, Miles might very well hold the blacksmiths' guild responsible.

In truth, the Spirit Hall itself had no real interest in the Blacksmiths' Association. After all, the profession of blacksmithing was far inferior to that of a Soul Master. The desire to incorporate the Blacksmiths' Association was entirely Miles's own idea; he intended to extract some extra income from it. After all, the association's revenue in Gengxin City was quite considerable.

Now, after shouting three times to the sky, Miles is in dire straits. He must be thinking about how to atone for his crime or how to completely cover it up, otherwise he doesn't know how the Spirit Hall will punish him.

As for all the hatred, it naturally rests entirely on Tianlin.

Out of gratitude, Silong decided to act as their tour guide for the entire day and accompany them to the ore market to prevent the young people from being ripped off by those cunning businessmen.

As a master blacksmith, he had some knowledge of various ores.

But when they arrived at the market, he was completely stunned by Ning Rongrong. Ning Rongrong randomly picked a shop and then scanned the various stones on the table.

"This, this, and this, Fatty, Chenxiang, catch them all!"

Soon, she finished browsing one store and found another, repeating the same actions over and over, while Bai Chenxiang and Ma Hongjun frantically caught the stones she threw at them.

“Brother Tianlin, I know your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is very wealthy, but you can’t be so extravagant. These stones haven’t even been appraised yet. If they’re all useless, you’ll suffer a huge loss,” Silong advised. “Let me take a look first, and then you can decide whether you want to buy them.”

"Don't worry, I guarantee that Rongrong will only buy the best stuff, there won't be a single piece of junk," Tianlin said confidently.

Even though they are both Nine Treasure Glazed Pagodas, they are not necessarily of the same quality. Ning Rongrong's pagoda is completely superior to Ning Fengzhi's. In addition, her current appraisal ability is so strong that it can be called the best in the entire sect, or even the best in the entire continent.

If she wanted to, she could become the richest woman in Douluo Continent in no time, allowing Tianlin to live a comfortable life as a kept woman.

When everyone returned to the Blacksmith Association, Ma Hongjun and Bai Chenxiang's storage soul tools were already completely full.

Si Long immediately stepped forward to examine it. His martial spirit, the Vajra Chisel, was not strong in combat, but it was exceptional for cutting stones and making appraisals.

Soon, as the surface of the black stones shattered, all the precious minerals from the original story appeared before everyone.

This includes sheet metal, cold-hearted iron essence, and silver mother material from deep-sea sunken silver, etc.

"Little girl, are you interested in joining the Blacksmiths' Guild? I guarantee that your status within the guild will be no less than that of my teacher!" Si Long was so excited that he forgot Ning Rongrong's identity for a moment; her abilities were simply too amazing.

For blacksmiths, the most important thing is ore. The more precious the ore, the more powerful the weapon can be made. As long as Ning Rongrong is there, will their blacksmith association ever lack stones again?

Ning Rongrong was startled by his enthusiasm and hid behind Tianlin, saying, "Senior Silong, I'm sorry, my father still wants me to go back and inherit the sect."

Si Long then realized that the little girl in front of him was no ordinary person. She was ranked second on the surface, but in reality, she was the direct heir of the number one sect in the world.

She must have had nothing better to do than join some blacksmiths' association.

Chapter 327 Lou Gao's Apprenticeship to Tianlin Miles: His Act of Revenge

Because of Si Long's impulsive words and Ning Rongrong's refusal, the scene became somewhat awkward. Just as everyone was speechless, a roar resounded throughout the entire Blacksmith Association.

"I can't see through it, I really can't see through it!"

This person was none other than the master craftsman Lou Gao. The blueprint he held in his hand was a half-finished product that Tian Lin had deliberately drawn, leaving only half of it missing. It was like reading a book and the author interrupting the story just when you were getting to the exciting part. Lou Gao was driven to a frenzy by this.

This was, of course, intentional on Tianlin's part, to pique people's curiosity.

Heavy footsteps echoed down the stairs as Lou Gao strode down at a speed that even Bai He, a pure agility-type Soul Douluo, and Long Gong, a titled Douluo, couldn't keep up with.
