Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

"What do you mean by that?" Tianlin's blatant mockery made Xue Beng feel insulted, and he immediately questioned him.

"Ask Tang San if his father Tang Hao and his uncle Tang Xiao combined can beat my master?" Tian Lin glanced at Tang San.

By this time, Tang San should have at least heard about Qian Daoliu from his father.

Under Xue Beng's questioning gaze, Tang San had no choice but to say helplessly, "My father once said that Qian Daoliu is someone that even if the entire Haotian Sect were to use all its strength, it would be impossible for them to offend. The fact that Sword Douluo can defeat him now means that he alone is enough to intimidate the Haotian Sect. If Sect Master Ning joins forces with him, I'm afraid that even if all seven of my Haotian Douluos were to come together, they would still be unable to avoid defeat."

"What?" Xue Beng was shocked. No one had told him this before. Aren't they all titled Douluo? How can there be such a big difference?

"So, Your Highness, Crown Prince Xue Beng, do you think the Haotian Sect is more valuable to His Majesty right now, or is my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect more valuable? You should weigh it carefully." Tian Lin stood up and said, "As for the matter of sworn brotherhood, there's no need to mention it again. I, Jun Tian Lin, have many brothers in my life. Gu Ran, Tian Heng, Aos Luo, Shi Mo, Shi Mo, Yu Feng, Hong Jun, and others are all my brothers, but there will only ever be one person I can truly call my elder brother. Even if she becomes my enemy in the future, or even fights to the death with me, this bond will not change in the slightest."

After Tianlin finished speaking, he prepared to leave. Xue Beng's face was extremely ugly. Tianlin actually preferred to acknowledge that traitor who had stolen the country rather than acknowledge him.

"Stop!" Xue Beng slammed his fist on the table in anger. "Jun Tianlin, you're quite something, you've got guts and you're direct enough. I, Xue Beng, am not a shameless sycophant. Since you think I'm not worthy to be your brother, then let's drop this matter. However, since we can't become sworn brothers, let's find another way to maintain our relationship."

"What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?" Tianlin felt that the avalanche was getting a bit annoying. His ambition to gain the support of the two strongest sects in the world at the same time was obvious, but he just didn't know his own limitations. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heavenly Dou Royal Family had always only had a cooperative relationship. Even Emperor Xueye couldn't order them around, so what right did he have?

Does he think he has the confidence to challenge Tianlin just because of the Haotian Sect?

Seeing Tianlin's disgusted look, Xue Beng became even angrier. "Hmph, I know your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is powerful, but no matter how powerful you are, if the two sides cannot establish trust, they cannot cooperate at all. Then what meaning do you have for my Heavenly Dou Empire?"

"So, since we can't build brotherhood, we can only build deeper trust through marriage!"

Chapter 345 Xue Beng's Delusion of Arranging a Marriage with Tang San

"Marriage alliance? What kind of marriage alliance do you plan to arrange?" Tianlin asked in confusion. It seemed that there were no suitable candidates for marriage alliance within their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Ning Fengzhi's sons are all married, and his only daughter, Ning Rongrong, is engaged to him.

Among the other sect protectors, only Dugu Bo and Long Gong have granddaughters, but they both have lovers, so there are really no suitable candidates.

"Of course it's Ning Rongrong. One of the reasons my father summoned you here today is to propose marriage to Ning Rongrong on my behalf." Xue Beng looked at Tian Lin with a mocking smile. He knew about Tian Lin's relationship with Ning Rongrong, and he did this to disgust him.

Moreover, this is the last chance that the Heavenly Dou Empire is giving to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. If they still refuse, then in the future, they can forget about developing peacefully within the empire. Even if the two sides don't break off relations, covert suppression is inevitable.

The royal family is extremely suspicious. They cannot accept a sect they do not trust, no matter how strong it is. Besides, even if it is the Limit Douluo Chen Xin, it is no match for a million-strong army. They are not afraid of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Moreover, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Spirit Hall are now sworn enemies, and they have been hostile to the Star Luo Sect for many years. If they are abandoned by the Heavenly Dou Sect, they will be enemies of the whole world.

This was the real reason why Xueye agreed to the avalanche's request; he believed that with Ning Fengzhi's intelligence, he should know how to make the right choice.

This is a good thing for both sides. After the marriage, the sect will be completely tied to the empire, and Xueye will be able to trust the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect again.

Upon hearing this, Tianlin's expression turned completely cold. "Xue Beng, do you know that Rongrong is my fiancée? Do you remember what I said back then? If you want to die, I can kill you with just one finger. I don't care about your status. At worst, I can fight my way out of the palace today. With my current strength, I can definitely do it."

Tianlin unleashed his full soul power, and the terrifying pressure rendered Xue Beng and Tang San completely immobile.

Just then, two burly men descended from the sky, breaking through the roof of the pavilion and landing in front of Xue Beng and Tang San. Both of them were Soul Douluo, one with the Martial Soul of a Mighty Ape and the other with the Martial Soul of a Plate-Armored Rhinoceros.

"So it's Titan, the patriarch of the Power Clan, and Niu Gao, the patriarch of the Royal Clan. What, would you like to have a go with me?" Tian Lin gently raised his finger, and the Killing God Domain suddenly erupted, merging into his own soul power.

Furthermore, he also mobilized the power of a portion of the martial god and mountain god within the Holy Spirit Pearl.

Faced with this sudden surge in pressure, Titan and Niu Gao were significantly weakened. Their current situation was not much better than Tang San's avalanche earlier.

"How is this possible? This terrifying pressure is almost no less than that of the master!" Titan was extremely shocked. He had only met Tianlin once in Tiandou City more than four years ago, when Tianlin was far from being his match.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, his strength has improved to such a terrifying level.

Tianlin's level has now reached level 79. His cultivation speed after breaking through level 70 in his ultimate attribute is simply too fast. Going from level 70 to 80 is like going from level 20 to 30. In just four months, Tianlin has advanced two levels.

Even if it slows down a bit from level 80 to 90, at this rate, Tianlin will definitely be granted a title within three years.

"Brother Jun, please stop! His Highness hasn't finished speaking yet." Tang San had no choice but to plead when he saw that even the two Soul Douluos were no match for the enraged Tian Lin.

Upon hearing this, Tianlin gently lowered his finger and looked at Tang San, saying, "Speak. If you don't give me an explanation, I'll kill you too."

With the pressure gone, the four of them felt a sense of relief and collapsed to their knees as if all their strength had been drained, panting heavily. Even the two Soul Douluos were no exception.

"This is terrifying. I thought the young master with twin martial souls was already a peerless genius who had surpassed his master, but the talent and potential of this boy in front of me are like an abyss. He is so strong that it is hard to estimate." Titan thought to himself. He originally thought that he and Niu Gao would be able to deal with Tian Lin, a Soul Saint, with ease, but he did not expect that they would not even be able to stand firm.

Titan usually enjoys using his soul power to intimidate his opponents and demonstrate his strength, but this is the first time he has been intimidated like this.

"Brother Jun, we invited you here today simply to discuss matters, whether it's the matter of sworn brotherhood or marriage, we just hope to obtain your consent," Tang San said, clasping his hands in a fist salute. "Because of the Xue Qinghe incident, a rift has arisen between the Empire and the sects. To resolve this misunderstanding, we must establish a stronger bond than before. We know that doing so would be unfair to you, Brother Jun, but we ask that for the sake of the greater good, you take the initiative to give up your engagement with Ning Rongrong. As compensation, His Highness the Crown Prince has already prepared another beautiful marriage for you."

"Princess Xue Ke of the Heaven Dou Empire is beautiful and of noble status. She is no less than Ning Rongrong in any way. His Highness the Crown Prince has already discussed with His Majesty the possibility of betrothing her to you, with three ten-thousand-year-old soul bones as her dowry."

"At that time, Brother Jun will still be able to win the heart of the beauty, and also obtain three soul bones. The Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will be able to restore their previous trust. It's a win-win situation. What do you think, Brother Jun?"

After listening to Tang San's words, Tian Lin admitted that from the perspective of those in power, this was indeed a good solution.

The daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's sect leader and the disciple of the sect's guardian Douluo were married off to the Crown Prince and Princess of the Empire, respectively, making them in-laws. Moreover, Tianlin didn't lose anything; on the contrary, he gained a soul bone and became the Imperial Prince Consort. It can be said that he earned as much as Avalanche.

Unfortunately, Tianlin didn't want those things at all.

Tianlin glanced coldly at Tang San. "In that case, I have a suggestion. Some time ago, the Heaven Dou Empire attacked the Clear Sky Sect with its troops, right? Although you two have agreed to cooperate now, I think there's still a knot in your hearts. How about this, Brother Tang, you go to the Star Dou Great Forest and bring Xiao Wu back to arrange a marriage between her and Crown Prince Xue Beng. Then, have the Crown Prince betroth Princess Xue Ke to you."

"Brother Jun, please don't joke about Xiao Wu. She has nothing to do with this," Tang San said angrily. "Besides, Xiao Wu isn't a member of our Haotian Sect, so what's the point of a marriage alliance?"

Tianlin chuckled mockingly, “How can it be unrelated? With Xiaowu’s beauty, I think His Highness Xue Beng will be interested. Besides, once His Highness is tired of playing with her, he can directly use her as a 100,000-year soul ring or soul bone. Isn’t that wonderful? You’ve offered such a generous gift. Isn’t the relationship between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Clear Sky Sect even closer than a marriage alliance? After all, even husbands and wives can betray each other. Only soul rings and soul bones that have been integrated into the body are truly one’s own.”

Chapter 346 Tang Hao Returns Severely Injured

Tianlin's words directly touched Tang San's biggest sore spot.

"Jun Tianlin, Xiao Wu and I are deeply in love. I don't care if she is human or a soul beast, I will protect her for the rest of my life. I will not allow anyone to insult her."

Sensing Tang San's anger, Tian Lin was even angrier than him, "Then you still want me to give up Rongrong voluntarily? Do you think my feelings for Rongrong are not as good as your feelings for Xiao Wu?"

He instantly teleported in front of Tang San, grabbed him by the neck with his left hand and lifted him up, saying, "If we're talking about insults, it was you who insulted me first. Has your Tang Clan never even taught you the most basic moral standards, like putting yourself in someone else's shoes?"

Because Tianlin was too fast, Tang San didn't even have time to react. Moreover, when Tianlin grabbed him, he sealed off all of Tang San's soul power. At this moment, Tang San was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

"Well said, Xiao Tian, ​​beat him up!" Tianmeng Bingcan said, always eager to stir up trouble. "If anyone ever asks me to give up Bingbing, even if I have no fighting ability, I will definitely die with him."

"Jun Tianlin, release my young master! Second Soul Skill, Explosive Might!" Titan was extremely anxious upon seeing this. Tang Hao had entrusted Tang San to his care before leaving, and he couldn't bear to watch his young master die in front of him.

With a punch imbued with immense power, Titan struck Tianlin, who was gripping Tang San's arm. Titan wasn't stupid; he knew that if he killed Tianlin, he and Tang San would truly be doomed. Therefore, he only wanted to force Tianlin to release Tang San.

Tianlin didn't even turn his head. He simply raised his right arm and gripped Titan's fist, preventing him from advancing an inch further.

"Titan, do you think you can still suppress me like you did in Heaven Dou City? Although your strength has surpassed many Title Douluos, that refers to non-power-type Title Douluos. Compared to that guy with level 93 soul power and the Blood Demon Mad Bear martial soul during the Soul Hunting Operation, your strength is far inferior." Tian Lin mocked, "And that guy had his arm broken by me in one move. Your ending today won't be any better."

Tianlin's right hand transformed into a dark gold claw, and he suddenly unleashed his power.

"Ah!" Titan let out a miserable scream.

His right arm bones broke into several pieces instantly, and it will probably take a long time to recover.

"Mr. Titan." Xue Beng anxiously helped Titan up. As one of the three great master craftsmen of this era, Titan was extremely useful to him; he was in charge of overseeing Tang San's incredibly powerful hidden weapons.

Moreover, as the vice president of the Blacksmith Association, he had a considerable reputation in the blacksmith world. Originally, after today's events, he planned to go to Gengxin City to invite Lou Gao to join the Tang Family Army. With Tang Hao and the combined power of the three great blacksmiths, they would surely be able to produce the ultimate hidden weapon that Tang San mentioned, capable of killing a Title Douluo.

It was precisely because of these hidden weapons that Tang San held an even higher position in Xue Beng's heart than the Haotian Sect itself.

Unfortunately, they didn't know that Lou Gao had already been snatched away by Tian Lin, and had even become Tian Lin's apprentice. In terms of status in the blacksmith world, Tian Lin was even higher than Titan.

"Alright, Jun Tianlin, have you made enough of a scene?" Xue Beng said sternly. "We called you here today to discuss things. Since you don't agree to the marriage, we'll just give up. Why resort to violence?"

"You should have thought of this when you used my relationship with Rongrong as a bargaining chip," Tianlin said calmly, while tightening his grip on Tang San's fingers.

It seems he was too gentle with Tang San before, which made them mistakenly believe that he was easy to bully.

"Jun Tianlin, we were in the wrong. Let go of my son and don't force me to take action!" Just then, a deep and hoarse voice sounded behind Tianlin.

This person appeared so suddenly that even Titan and Niu Gao didn't react in time.

Tianlin, however, had already sensed the man's presence. "So it's Lord Haotian Douluo. Your voice sounds very weak. It seems you've suffered a serious injury."

"Though injured, I'm enough to deal with you," Tang Hao said coldly.

"Hmph, you can try!" Tianlin met Tang Hao's gaze without fear. The killing intent of the two, along with their Killing God Domains, began to rise simultaneously, making everyone present feel as if they were in an icy hell.

Tang San was extremely surprised. He didn't know the exact strength of Tian Lin, but in terms of aura, he was not inferior to his invincible father at all.

But just as their auras reached their peak, Tianlin suddenly said, "Alright, after all, you are a Title Douluo, so I'll give you face and let's end it here today."

"Niu Gao, catch!"

Tianlin casually tossed Tang San towards him.

Tang San, who had finally been freed, coughed loudly.

Seeing this, Tang Hao also withdrew his killing intent. He really didn't want to be enemies with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School unless absolutely necessary.

Tianlin wasn't afraid of him, but it wasn't the right time to completely break ties with the Tiandou Empire and Haotian Sect. Ning Fengzhi's advice to him was: don't cause trouble, but don't kill anyone.

As long as they don't actually go that far, given the current situation on the mainland and the strength of their sect, neither the Haotian Sect nor the Tiandou Empire will pursue the matter excessively.

"Tang Hao, I'm very curious, who exactly is it that could injure you, the dignified Haotian Douluo, so badly? In the world today, apart from the four Limit Douluos—Qian Daoliu, Poseidon, Tang Chen, and my master—there shouldn't be many who can rival you, right?" Tianlin asked curiously.

"Ahem, this is none of your business. Since you disagree with my son's suggestion, you can leave now." Tang Hao coughed as he urged Tian Lin to leave, because he was about to burst.

Tianlin smiled slightly, thinking, "What a stubborn guy, he'll suffer for saving face." "Alright, then I'll take my leave."

"By the way, Avalanche, put away your unrealistic ideas. Neither Rongrong nor I will follow you!"

After Tianlin finished speaking, he ignored the Crown Prince's ugly expression and left the back garden.

"How come Tang Hao has that guy's aura on him?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, however, kept its gaze fixed on Tang Hao, its expression very strange.

"Pfft!" As soon as Tianlin left, Tang Hao could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Master, are you alright?" Titan anxiously supported Tang Hao with his only remaining left arm.

"Father, what happened? How did you get injured like this? Did Jun Tianlin do something to you?" Tang San asked angrily.

Tang Hao shook his head weakly. "It has nothing to do with him. I encountered an extremely powerful expert in the Star Dou Great Forest. He defeated me with just one move. Even though I blew up four rings in one go and used the Great Sumeru Hammer, I could only barely push him back a little distance. I couldn't hurt him at all. I had no choice but to take the opportunity to escape. If it weren't for what happened with Ah Yin back then, and the fact that I learned some ways to conceal my aura under the constant pursuit of the Spirit Hall, I'm afraid I really wouldn't be able to come back this time."

Chapter 347 Tang Hao Hunts Down Soul Beasts Amidst the Pursuit from Di Tian

Tang Hao's words shocked everyone. There was actually someone in this world who could defeat Tang Hao in one move, and who was even hit by the Great Sumeru Hammer of the Four Rings and was still unharmed, only being knocked back a little.

Just how powerful must he be? Even the two legendary soul masters of yesteryear might not have been able to achieve this.

After much deliberation, no one could find a single person who matched the description.

Tang Hao shook his head. "I can't guess who this mysterious person is. What worries me more now is Jun Tianlin. Judging from his aura just now, his strength is probably not much worse than mine at my peak. My exploding rings are useless against him. What's worse is that I killed someone who is very important to him. Once he finds out, he will definitely come to take revenge. I acted impulsively this time."

"Father, don't say so much yet. Your injuries are quite serious. Let me take you to get treatment first!"

Tang San quickly took Tang Hao to find a doctor for treatment. Tang Hao already had a lot of hidden injuries, and now his injuries were compounded. It was uncertain whether he could survive.

Unlike the original story, Tang Hao did not force the blood stasis into his arms and legs before severing his limbs, nor did he return the sect's spirit bone to the Clear Sky Sect. This was because Tang San no longer possessed the Blue Silver Emperor from the original story, nor did he have the external spirit bone and the Wisdom Skull. Whether in terms of physical fitness or mental strength, he was far from meeting the requirements for using twin martial souls. He still needed this power to help Tang San grow.

However, this resulted in his internal injuries becoming increasingly severe, and now, with this latest blow, he may not have long to live.

At the same time, Tianlin, who had left the back garden, also received a soul transmission from Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
