Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

“Xiao Tian, ​​just now I sensed three soul bones on Tang Hao that were over 30,000 years old.”

Tianlin was taken aback. "Brother Tianmeng, you must be mistaken. Tang Hao has six soul bones in his body, how could he only have three?"

“That’s not what I meant. I meant that he has three soul bones that haven’t been absorbed yet, and for some reason, the aura of one of them seems familiar.”

"What did you say?" Tianlin was shocked. He knew that Tang Hao had gone to find soul bones for Tang San, but how did he manage to get three in such a short time?

You have to understand, it took him nearly three years to repay what he owed their sect, and now it's been less than a year since then. When did ten-thousand-year soul bones become so common?

"Not only that, I also sensed the resentment of countless soul beasts on Tang Hao, as well as a trace of Di Tian's aura. If I'm not mistaken, this guy has been hunting soul beasts on a large scale for the soul bone, and it's very likely that even Di Tian has been alerted." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said angrily. Although it no longer considered itself to be on the side of the soul beasts, it couldn't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow.

“That’s right, that’s what I thought of too. There’s no other way to quickly collect soul bones except for this method,” Tianlin agreed.

He didn't believe that Tang Hao would actually treat soul beasts like humans just because of Ah Yin and Xiao Wu's relationship. In his eyes, Ah Yin and Xiao Wu were probably the only special ones, since one was his wife and the other was his daughter-in-law.

In the original novel, Tang Hao received two soul bones from the sect when he was twenty and thirty years old, respectively, before he went out to train with Tang Xiao.

At that time, he was over level 70, but when he reached level 80, he had six soul bones in his body. He once told Tang San that he obtained the other four soul bones during his travels.

But Tianlin really wanted to know how he managed to obtain four soul bones in one go, all of which happened to be parts of his body that he didn't have before, when he was only one soul ring away from level 70 to 80.

It couldn't have been picked up by cheating, right? Soul bones aren't that common.

Otherwise, Tang Hao wouldn't have gone to such lengths to return the soul bone to their sect, shamelessly asking his subordinates for it, participating in the blacksmith competition, and even going to the border region to hunt wolf bandits.

Therefore, the only method Tianlin could think of was to hunt down soul beasts on a large scale. Perhaps Ning Fengzhi had thought of this as well, which is why he asked Tang Hao to compensate them for the soul bones of their sect, which could not be obtained by hunting soul beasts at will.

But now, Tang Hao is collecting soul bones for his son, not for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. He no longer needs to keep the promise he made to Ning Fengzhi.

The Tang family members all shared the same thought: it was evil for others to kill their family's soul beasts, but it was perfectly justified for them to kill soul beasts at will.

"That bastard! What is Di Tian good for? With his strength, how could he have killed a mere Tang Hao and let him escape? He must have completely forgotten about the Dragon God Claw that the Dragon God taught him back then," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said angrily.

It doesn't actually care about humans hunting soul beasts. In the ancient times when it lived, the profession of soul master was not yet popular. Humans had no means of resisting soul beasts. Just one Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had eaten countless people.

Now that the Dragon God is dead, the God Realm is ruled by human deities, and the humans on the continent have become stronger. In turn, they hunt soul beasts, which can be seen as a cycle of cause and effect. It sees this very clearly.

However, back then, soul beasts ate people to survive, while now humans hunt soul beasts for necessary cultivation. Both sides have reached a tacit consensus: to fight but not to kill indiscriminately.

Even after the establishment of the Spirit Hall, it joined forces with the two great empires to create a series of Soul Hunting Forests. To enter a Soul Hunting Forest, one had to first go to the Spirit Hall to take a level test and confirm that they met the advancement requirements before they could obtain a token to enter. The purpose of this was to prevent the indiscriminate killing of soul beasts.

Little did Tianmeng Ice Silkworm know that while it was furious, Di Tian was even angrier than it was.

In order to find out who killed the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear back then, it has been searching for the person who possesses the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Ring.

Unexpectedly, before it could even leave the house, Tang Hao came knocking on its door.

Within half a month, he killed more than 30 soul beasts that were over 10,000 years old, plus 70 or 80 soul beasts that were over 1,000 years old.

It's probably because the chances of a hundred-year-old soul beast giving birth to a soul bone are too small, so Tang Hao wasn't interested and let them escape this calamity.

When Di Tian saw the corpses of those soul beasts, he was furious. At the same time, he confirmed that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear must have been hunted down by this person.

Having already reached the ninth ring, his purpose in slaughtering soul beasts was obvious: soul bones. What could be more precious than the 400,000-year-old soul bone of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear?

With the Blue Silver Emperor's spirit ring, Tang Hao's strength, barely comparable to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, was barely broken when the ring exploded. He was still hunting spirit beasts on a large scale. His motives were clear and the evidence was conclusive. Tang Hao couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

At that moment, Di Tian immediately launched a deadly pursuit of Tang Hao.

Unfortunately, he underestimated his opponent. Because Tang Hao was no match for him, he did not use his full strength, nor did he use his ultimate skill, Dragon God Claw. He only injured Tang Hao with a normal claw. However, he did not expect that Tang Hao not only had the Exploding Ring, but also the divine skill, the Great Sumeru Hammer.

Caught off guard, Di Tian was also knocked back by a single blow.

By the time it came to its senses, Tang Hao had already disappeared. This guy seemed to be very good at escaping, and for a while even Di Tian couldn't find him.

Enraged, Di Tian immediately launched a beast tide, vowing to kill Tang Hao. Unfortunately, the beast tide was repelled by the Spirit Hall, and Tang Hao took advantage of this time to escape back to the Heaven Dou Empire.

He dared not go to the Star Dou Great Forest again for a while, as he had no idea that there were such ridiculously powerful monsters inside.

Even the four ultimate Douluo might not be able to defeat him.

Chapter 348 The Death of Oslo and the Succession of the Imperial Advisor

“Xiao Tian, ​​we must stop Tang Hao’s actions. I don’t think he will go to places like the Star Dou Great Forest, but there are many more gathering places for soul beasts on the continent than just these few. Sunset Forest, the far north, the sea, and even other continents. If this continues, countless soul beasts will die at his hands.”

"Although I don't think it's wrong for humans to kill soul beasts, it's for the sake of necessary cultivation, just like how soul beasts ate humans to survive. The strong prey on the weak, and the survival of the fittest is the natural order of things. But that bastard is killing indiscriminately now. If this continues, it will affect countless people in the next generation." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was furious.

It said it no longer considered itself one of the soul beasts, but it was still a soul beast and couldn't stand by and watch its kind be bullied like this.

"Don't worry, Brother Tianmeng. If Tang Hao were only hunting a soul beast to help Tang San advance, I wouldn't even glance at it. But the way he's doing it now will prevent the next generation of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School from having any soul beasts to advance. I will definitely hold him accountable," Tianlin promised.

He was unaware that even without this incident, he and Tang Hao already harbored an irreconcilable hatred.

Tang San helped Tang Hao back to his room to rest. After Xue Beng sent for the imperial physician to come and help with the treatment, he left. He still had to report back to his father, the emperor, about his conversation with Tian Lin earlier that day.

After Tang San helped Tang Hao lie down on the bed, he asked, "Father, you said you killed someone very important to Jun Tianlin. Who was it?"

“Osro!” Tang Hao replied, “Just a few months ago, Osro broke through to level 60 and went to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts, which is where I happened to run into him.”

"Why did you kill him?" Tang San asked, puzzled. Tang Hao had no grudge against Oslo, so why would he attack him and offend Jun Tianlin?

"Hmph, harming my sect is enough for him to die ten thousand times over." Tang Hao said coldly, "When the Heaven Dou Empire attacked the Haotian Sect before, everyone only knew that they were tricked by that fake Xue Qinghe, but no one ever investigated how they knew the location of my Haotian Sect."

"So I went to investigate this matter. I found the gatekeeper who was responsible for guarding the entrance to the village at the foot of the mountain. I learned that a young man had come here before and was killed by the sect disciples with the Haotian Hammer. But they said that what was killed was just an avatar."

"Based on their description of his appearance, I identified Osro, and he also happens to have a clone soul skill. Who else could it be but him?"

“If he hadn’t stayed in Tiandou City, I would have made my move long ago. Now that I’ve run into him in the Star Dou Great Forest, how could I let him go?”

After listening to Tang Hao's words, Tang San agreed, "I see. Then Oslo has a way to die and deserves to die. Even if Jun Tianlin comes to settle accounts with us, we are in the right. As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they won't fall out with us over Oslo, who isn't even a disciple of the sect."

Tang Hao nodded. "That's right. I just didn't expect Jun Tianlin's strength to be so terrifying. Once he finds out about this, even without the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he will be a huge threat to us."

"Fortunately, in order to prevent his retaliation, I used a secret method to slow down the decay of Oslo's body and preserved it. It is now in my storage soul tool. It would be best if Jun Tianlin never knew about this and both sides could live in peace. If he finds out the truth one day, I will use this to threaten him. If he does not want Oslo's body to be destroyed and wants the body back, I will force him to swear a martial soul oath in exchange for not seeking revenge against my father and me."

Tang San was surprised that his father had a backup plan. He secretly praised him, thinking that as long as he had leverage over Jun Tianlin, he wouldn't have to worry about him not complying.

On the other side, Tianlin arrived at the main hall and saw Emperor Xueye chatting and laughing with Ning Fengzhi, looking very harmonious.

Throughout the conversation, Emperor Xueye kept promoting how outstanding his son Xuebeng was and how beautiful his daughter Xueke was. This left Ning Fengzhi and Chenxin completely bewildered. Did Xueye summon them here just to show off his children?

In fact, Xueye was laying the groundwork for the marriage proposal that was to be made later, but he did not say it directly because he wanted to wait for news from Xuebeng. Otherwise, if he made the proposal and Jun Tianlin disagreed, where would the face of his royal family be?

Tianlin's thoughts had reached a point where no one could ignore them. Everyone could see that his status in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was almost as high as Ning Fengzhi's. If he objected, Ning Fengzhi would certainly not agree.

Just then, Xue Beng entered the main hall and shook his head at Xue Ye, which made Xue Ye's face turn very ugly.

As expected, they refused. Then the marriage alliance was doomed to fail. In that case, he no longer needed to be so polite to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Xueye stopped her fake smile and said, "Sect Leader Ning, let's end the pleasantries here. The reason I invited you here today is that I have a very important matter to announce. I wish to appoint a National Preceptor for my Heaven Dou Empire to be in charge of the full management of the empire's many Soul Masters."

"Oh, this position is very important. Does Your Majesty have someone in mind?" Ning Fengzhi asked with a smile.

At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to him. In terms of seniority and ability, Ning Fengzhi was the most suitable person for the position of Imperial Preceptor. Xue Ye had even specially summoned him over, so was there any need to discuss who would be the Imperial Preceptor?

Many ministers were already preparing to curry favor with Ning Fengzhi later, but they never expected that after the upheaval in the Heavenly Battle, Emperor Xueye would still trust him so much.

In fact, Xueye originally intended this position for Ning Fengzhi, but only if the marriage alliance was successful. Now that Jun Tianlin has refused, he will not offer such a great benefit to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Of course, there is a candidate. He is none other than the Dean of Studies of Shrek Academy, a direct disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, and the number one theorist on the continent today. Xuan, Master Yu Xiaogang!" Xue Ye loudly ordered.

"Summon Yu Xiaogang to an audience!!"

As a eunuch called out, a middle-aged man with a buzz cut and wearing a black robe strode in with confident and arrogant steps.

"Your humble servant Yu Xiaogang greets Your Majesty!" Yu Xiaogang bowed respectfully to Xue Ye.

"Hmm, no need for formalities. What does Sect Leader Ning think of this person?" Xue Ye asked Ning Fengzhi.

This question was full of sarcasm. Just when everyone thought the position of Imperial Preceptor belonged to Ning Fengzhi, Xue Ye gave it to someone else. This was a huge loss of face for Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi smiled nonchalantly, “Mr. Yu Xiaogang has always been known as a master. It is said that he once had a romance with the current Pope of the Spirit Hall. He must have something extraordinary to be chosen by Bibi Dong. I have no objection to him serving as the National Preceptor!”

Chapter 349 The Angry Tianlin

After a pleasant meeting, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Tian Lin left the palace. None of the officials who were supposed to curry favor with them showed up, not even to say hello. They all went to the master's side.

Indeed, those who can become officials must know how to be opportunists.

Grandmaster is Tang San's master and the son of Yu Yuanzhen, the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. It can be said that he has connections with both of these major sects. Xue Ye did this in order to win over both of these major sects at the same time.

As for the fact that Grandmaster has been expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, it doesn't matter. Xue Ye understands Yu Yuanzhen's personality very well and knows that Yu Yuanzhen can't let go of this son at all. As long as Yu Xiaogang has enough value in the Heaven Dou Empire, he will definitely be able to persuade the elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan to accept him again, just like the Clear Sky Sect has now reluctantly recognized Tang San.

For powerful forces, profit is more important than anything else.

"Xiao Tian, ​​what did Avalanche say to you when he called you over?" Ning Fengzhi asked on the way back.

"It's just a really stupid request!" Tianlin relayed the entire conversation between Xue Beng Tang San and him to Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin.

Chen Xin was furious after hearing this. "Hmph, a toad trying to eat swan meat! With Xue Beng's attitude, is he worthy of our precious Rongrong?"

Ning Fengzhi suddenly realized, "Oh, I see. This Emperor Xueye has been introducing me to his son and daughter all day, but he hasn't been talking about anything important."

"He was waiting for Xue Beng's answer. If Xue Beng came and nodded to him, he would propose marriage in public, and the position of Grand Preceptor would be mine. But Xue Beng shook his head. So, in order not to lose face for the empire, he kept the marriage proposal to himself. He really has no sincerity at all. Even if Xiao Tian and Rong Rong are not engaged, I would never marry my daughter off."

Ning Fengzhi didn't care about the mere position of Imperial Preceptor. Ever since Tian Lin agreed to his plan, he and Tian Lin had begun to lay out their schemes. All they had to do was wait for the Spirit Hall to launch the continental war, and a massive nation, with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as its core, would suddenly appear before all the forces, catching everyone completely off guard.

The three were about to return, as they found the atmosphere in Tiandou City unpleasant. Just as they were about to board the carriage, an anxious voice sounded behind them, "Wait, Sect Master Ning, Sword Douluo, and Sword Lord, please wait."

The three turned around and saw a middle-aged man. Tianlin recognized him; he was an official of the empire, Oslo's father, and his name was Oschin.

When they were studying at the academy, Oslo invited Tianlin to his house a few times, and they met a few times.

"Uncle Ao, is there anything I can help you with?" Tianlin asked.

"Young friend Sword Master, please help me! Our Oslo has been missing for four months. You are his brother, please, you must help us find him." Oschin was full of worry, and he was about to kneel down as he spoke.

"What? Oslo is missing?" Tianlin hurriedly helped Oschin up. "Uncle Oslo, please get up and tell me everything you know. Where was the last place Oslo was seen?"

"That's right. Four months ago, Osro's soul power broke through to level 60. He was going to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts to advance his level. For safety, I specially hired a Soul Saint at a high price to protect him. More than a month has passed, and he still hasn't returned. At the time, I didn't think much of it. After all, it's not strange for him to stay in the forest for a month or two to find a suitable soul beast."

"But another month passed, and there was still no news of him. I was getting anxious. What kind of soul beast would take almost three months to hunt? I immediately sent a large number of people to the Star Dou Great Forest to search for him, but not only did we find nothing, we also unfortunately encountered a beast tide. Few of the people I sent to search returned. Now it's been four months, and I'm worried that Oslo might be in grave danger." Oschin said, tears streaming down his face. Oslo was the greatest pride of the O family, a future Title Douluo, and he absolutely could not afford to have anything happen to him.

"Ah, I remember now!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm suddenly exclaimed, "Little Tian, ​​didn't I just say that among the three soul bones on Tang Hao's body, the aura of one of them was very familiar to me? It's the left leg of the Swift Forward Chasing Wind. I saw it once in the academy competition, so I have some impression of it."

"Rapid Forward - Wind Chaser Left Leg!" Tianlin was shocked. This soul bone had already been absorbed by Oslo, and with Oslo's current strength, he couldn't actively detach the soul bone. If it had been detached, there was only one possibility: Oslo was dead!

"Tang Hao!" Tianlin roared furiously, his eyes bloodshot, and charged back towards the palace.

"Xiao Tian!" Ning Fengzhi tried to stop him, but the furious Tian Lin was too fast, even using his Soul Bone Technique Teleportation. As a support-type, he couldn't hold him back at all. He quickly said, "Uncle Jian, let's hurry up and follow him. Xiao Tian just mentioned Tang Hao. Could it be that he thinks Oslo was harmed by Tang Hao and wants to settle accounts with him?"

"Go!" Chen Xin didn't hesitate. He grabbed Oschin with one hand and Ning Fengzhi with the other, and quickly chased after Tian Lin.

Inside the room, Tang San was feeding Tang Hao medicine spoonful by spoonful. Although he was ruthless to others, he still deeply respected and loved his father.

Even though Tang Hao didn't care about him when he was a child, he didn't mind at all. At least in terms of filial piety, Tang San had no problem.

Suddenly, a deafening roar filled the air as an enormous demonic sword slashed down towards the house.
