Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

Tianlin suddenly felt a chill, as if he were being watched by something dangerous.

"By the way, Xiao Tian, ​​I looked at your notes. It seems you've been researching soul beasts with elemental powers, right?" Xue Qinghe was very observant. Just from Tian Lin's records about soul beasts, she discovered what Tian Lin was researching.

There's nothing to deny about that, Tianlin said directly, "Yes, for my sword to grow, it needs to absorb soul rings of various attributes."

"So that's how it is. The sword only contains the attribute of water. No wonder it can't unleash the power that a divine-level martial soul should have!" Xue Qinghe finally understood. No wonder Tianlin wanted to study attribute-type soul beasts. In order to complete the martial soul fusion as soon as possible, perhaps he would need to lend a hand.

After returning, have Uncle She go back to the Spirit Hall to retrieve the information on spirit beasts. The Spirit Hall's collection of spirit beast information is absolutely the most comprehensive on the continent.

"Um, Brother Xue, is there anything else?" Tianlin asked. Actually, he hoped Xue Qinghe would leave as soon as possible; being with him was putting a lot of pressure on him.

"There's one more thing. Come, come to the bed with me." Xue Qinghe suddenly stood up and walked to the bedside.

Tianlin was stunned. Was Qian Renxue planning to force herself on him? He was only seven years old, and his "tools" weren't even fully developed yet. Was she being too hasty?

It wasn't until Xue Qinghe sat cross-legged on the bed and began circulating his soul power that Tianlin realized he had misunderstood; it turned out Xue Qinghe wanted to cultivate with him.

“Come, Xiao Tian, ​​sit in front of me, palms facing each other. I feel that our martial souls are highly compatible. Perhaps we can not only merge, but also assist each other in cultivation,” Xue Qinghe said.

Tianlin also knew about this possibility and its benefits. Just like Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong in the future, they could use the power of the Martial Soul Fusion and the power of Hao Dong to cultivate, which was much faster than cultivating alone.

Without hesitation, Tianlin sat down opposite Xue Qinghe, their palms facing each other.

In an instant, their soul powers merged together without any obstruction.

Xue Qinghe was overjoyed and immediately activated his family's Angel Meditation Technique, while Tianlin subconsciously used the Nuwa Meditation Technique as well.

With the two top-tier meditation techniques combined with the power of Martial Soul Fusion, the speed at which Soul Power increases is simply astonishing.

Two hours later, the two of them awoke from their meditation.

Tianlin felt that his soul power had increased significantly. At this rate, if he could cultivate with Xue Qinghe a few more times, he would soon be able to break through to level 20.

On the other hand, Xue Qinghe's progress was not as great as Tianlin's. His cultivation speed was indeed faster than before, but not by much. This was because his soul power was much higher than Tianlin's. With such a huge gap, he was the only one who could help Tianlin, while Tianlin's help to him was pitifully little.

To his surprise, his soul power was purified due to the combined operation of the Nuwa Meditation Method. This was even more important to him than the improvement of his soul power, as it was related to his future divine succession.

"What amazing fusion power! It can actually purify soul power while cultivating. Xiao Tian, ​​you are truly my lucky star!" Xue Qinghe hugged Tian Lin tightly.

Tianlin felt that Qian Renxue was too flat. Was she not fully developed yet, or was her transformation skill too perfect? ​​Even this part of her body shrank when she transformed into Xue Qinghe.

"Xiao Tian, ​​why don't you stop living in the dormitory and come live with Brother Xue in the East Palace? You've felt it too, haven't you? How powerful our fusion power is! Although we can't use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique yet, as long as we work hard, we'll be able to do it one day," Xue Qinghe said excitedly.

"No need, Brother Xue, I'd rather stay in the dormitory. My friends are all here, and I don't want to be separated from them." Tianlin quickly refused. He was joking; if he stayed with Xue Qinghe, his secrets would be exposed in no time.

Xue Qinghe frowned. He really wanted to say, "You don't need any friends. I'm enough for you."

Unfortunately, he was now a wise crown prince, not the willful young lady of the Spirit Hall, so he could only say, "Alright then, but you must promise me that you will come to the Eastern Palace every few days."

"This fusion power will be of great benefit to both of us. We cannot let go of such a good opportunity for cultivation!"

Tianlin knew this was Xue Qinghe's bottom line. If he refused again, Xue Qinghe might send a Title Douluo to kidnap him. So he immediately nodded in agreement, which barely satisfied Xue Qinghe.

Chapter 32 Heavenly Snow Power Breaks Through to Level 20

Xue Qinghe stayed in Tianlin's room until dusk before reluctantly preparing to leave.

There was no way around it; the feeling of cultivating alongside Tianlin was just too wonderful. If it weren't for the fact that he was currently portrayed as a wise and virtuous crown prince, he would have kidnapped Tianlin and taken him back in a heartbeat.

"By the way, Xiaotian, let's give the fusion power we just created a name, what do you think?" Xue Qinghe suddenly said.

Choosing a name, like the Hao Dong Power of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong in later generations, is not out of the question.

Tianlin nodded. "Sure, how about we use characters from our names? My sky and your river, how about calling it the Power of the Heavenly River?"

“No, let’s call it the Power of Heavenly Snow,” Xue Qinghe revised. “I still prefer the word ‘snow’ to ‘Qinghe’.”

Xue Qinghe smiled brightly. No one would find it strange that he said this, because Xue is the royal surname of the Tiandou Empire. It is perfectly normal for a crown prince to be proud of his royal surname.

But in reality, only she knew that the real reason was because her given name was Xue, which was given to her by her 'respectable' father.

For the next month, Tianlin kept his promise and went to the East Palace every few days to cultivate together with Xue Qinghe using the power of Tianxue.

After all, it's really good. The cultivation efficiency boost from the power of Heavenly Snow is much stronger than that of the Holy Breath Barrier without the addition of a Soul Ring. What Tianlin lacks most is precisely time.

With the help of the Heavenly Snow, Tianlin was overjoyed to reach the level 20 soul power that he had originally expected to take at least two to three months to break through, as it was only a little over a month. This meant that he could now hunt for his second soul ring.

Arriving at the training ground frequented by Yu Tianheng and the others, he told them about his breakthrough. They were completely stunned. A level 20 at just over seven years old—was this some kind of cheat code?

Osro circled around Tianlin, looking him up and down, poking his little face and lifting his arm. "Little Tian, ​​are you really human? Or are you a soul beast who has been reborn? When I was seven, I was only around level ten. Level twenty? That's too exaggerated."

"Osro, those who rebuild their soul beasts all have beast martial souls. Don't you know that my martial soul is a sword? And if you make any further physical contact with me, don't blame me for being merciless with my sword!" Tianlin said, barely suppressing his urge to kill.

"I told you, Xiao Tian has wanted to kill you for more than just a day or two." Ye Lingling said little, but her words were venomous.

Her ability to save lives and her sharp tongue are perfectly proportional.

"Xiao Tian, ​​congratulations! It seems our agreement will be fulfilled soon. I'll be waiting for you to come back with your second spirit ring!" Yu Tianheng patted Tian Lin on the shoulder and laughed. He was referring to the agreement between Chen Xin and him: once Tian Lin obtained his second spirit ring, the two would have a fair fight.

"That's a good thing. Competition drives progress." Qin Ming and Zhou Yan walked over; they had now officially become a couple who were always seen together.

Qin Ming had high hopes for these children and planned to nurture them with all his might, so that they could shine brightly in the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament a few years later.

He had been unable to participate in the tournament when he was studying at Shrek Academy because of the academy's unofficial nature, which he considered a lifelong regret. But now, if he could cultivate a group of geniuses capable of winning the championship, he would find some solace.

"Xiao Tian, ​​do you need me to help you hunt for your second spirit ring?" Zhou Yan asked. "My spirit skills are very suitable for hunting spirit beasts. Once you return with your spirit ring, Qin Ming said he can arrange for you and the others to do some competitive training!"

Zhou Yan's martial soul is a butterfly, but she is a control type. Tian Lin never understood how Zhou Yan could control a butterfly as her martial soul. When he asked her, Zhou Yan told him that her soul skill was to scatter various powders.

With poison powder, paralysis powder, sleep powder, and the like, she is indeed the best candidate to assist in hunting low-level soul beasts.

If you put the soul beast to sleep, you can do whatever you want with it.

However, Tianlin shook his head, "No, my master warned me not to hunt soul beasts indiscriminately. After reaching level 20, I must return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and he will choose the soul beasts for me."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan and Qin Ming stopped insisting. After all, it was a request from a Title Douluo, and any teacher would do their best to cultivate such an outstanding disciple as Tian Lin and prevent any mistakes in his cultivation. They could understand Chen Xin's thoughts.

The real reason was that Chen Xin was worried that if Tian Lin went with the people from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to hunt soul beasts, he would not be able to use the Holy Breath Barrier in order not to expose the secret of his twin martial souls. Naturally, he would only be able to hunt soul beasts that were around seven hundred years old and at the limit of his second soul ring.

This would undoubtedly be a waste for Tianlin, whose first spirit ring was six hundred years old, and Chenxin would not allow it.

His apprentice's second spirit ring must be at least nine hundred years old. Don't underestimate the difference of only two hundred years; the boost to various attributes is enormous, and the power of the spirit skills is incomparable.

Tianlin bid farewell to everyone and embarked on his journey home.

The journey wasn't long, and he didn't need any guards. With the speed of a Soul Master, he could reach Qibao Mountain in half a day if he traveled at full speed.

Tianlin traveled at full speed and arrived at the foot of the mountain three hours later. However, he did not go up the mountain immediately, but went home to see his parents first.

Jun Tianhai and Mo Lan were overjoyed to see their son return.

However, unlike Mo Lan, who was only happy because she missed her son, Jun Tianhai thought more deeply and asked seriously, "Tianlin, I heard from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School that you went to study at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. Why are you back so soon? Could it be that you skipped school?"

"What are you saying? My son is so well-behaved, how could he do such a thing?" Moran immediately objected. Tianlin was the apple of her eye, and even if he was the child's father, she wouldn't allow him to be slandered.

Indeed, many spoiled brats are actually spoiled by their mothers. Fortunately, Tianlin's soul is mature, and he can barely hold on to his original intentions.

"No, Father, actually my soul power has broken through to level 20. I came back this time to ask my teacher to help me hunt for my second soul ring." Tianlin's words were astonishing, startling Jun Tianhai.

He's only at level 23 after a lifetime of cultivation. Is this son really his own? The difference is just too big.

He feared that once Tianlin acquired his second spirit ring, he, as his father, would be no match for him. Indeed, it was better to discipline a child early on. He deeply regretted his actions, realizing that he would lose all his authority as a father.

In fact, Tianlin really wanted to tell him that he could no longer defeat Tianlin, because besides his level, he also possessed powerful martial arts techniques such as the Shushan Sword Technique and the Seven Kill Sword Technique.

Besides, the quality of their martial souls is not even in the same league.

However, given that Jun Tianhai is his father after all, Tianlin decided not to provoke him.

Chapter 33 Arrival at the Star Dou Great Forest

Three days later, in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Chen Xin and Tian Lin have arrived at the edge of this gathering place of soul beasts.

When Tianlin returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School that day and told Ning Fengzhi, Chenxin, and the others that he had broken through to level 20, they were just as dumbfounded as their parents.

It had only been a little over a month since Chen Xin returned from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and he had already broken through another bottleneck. Chen Xin was so frightened that he thought he had used some kind of method to force growth. Fortunately, after testing, it was found that Tian Lin's soul power was pure and profound, obviously obtained through normal cultivation, which put Chen Xin at ease.

Although this cultivation speed was almost inhuman, it wasn't so unacceptable for Tianlin. Thus, under Gu Rong's sour expression, Chen Xin smugly led Tianlin to hunt for the second soul ring.

It's easy to imagine that Gu Ran will inevitably be subjected to Gu Rong's training again. He has been suppressed by Chen Xin his whole life, and now his disciple will be suppressed by Chen Xin's disciple for the rest of his life. How can he bear this?

However, Chen Xin is now troubled by his disciple's affairs. There's no other reason than that he's too audacious.

"Xiao Tian, ​​do you really want to absorb a thousand-year soul ring? In my opinion, with your current mental strength and physical condition, plus the assistance of the Holy Breath Barrier, a soul beast of about nine hundred years is the best choice. I can basically confirm that your success rate is one hundred percent."

"However, once we enter the millennium, things will be completely different, and the chances will be less than 60 percent."

Tianlin smiled calmly, "Sixty percent, isn't that more than half? Soul Master is a dangerous profession, and you only reap rewards if you face challenges."

In fact, there was another reason why Tianlin was so bold: the Nuwa Meditation Method. Since he switched to cultivating this top-level meditation method, his soul power had become extremely pure.

In terms of quality, his level one soul power is equivalent to about level one and a half to level two of a typical soul master of the same level.

Therefore, Tianlin's actual combat strength is already comparable to a high-level Great Soul Master of level 27 or 28. After absorbing his second Soul Ring, he can even compete with a Soul Venerable who has just entered level 30.

“No challenge, no reward! Well said. In that case, I will not persuade you any further, but remember, you must persevere no matter what.” A look of loving kindness flashed in Chen Xin’s eyes.

He had no children in his life, and Tianlin was his only disciple. He was prepared to pass on everything he had to him.

"Don't worry, Master. Next, we need to consider what kind of spirit beast to look for. This time, my target is fire-type. I've thought of a few: Flame Lord, Fiery Arrow Eagle, Volcano Gorilla, and Earth King. What do you think?"

Tianlin mentioned several, but Chenxin thought about it and rejected them all. "If your goal is only around nine hundred years, these are indeed good, but since they are thousand-year-old soul beasts, their aggression is too strong."

The more aggressive a spirit beast is, the more violent its spirit rings will be, and naturally, its spirit skills will also be stronger.

Although Chen Xin agreed to let Tian Lin absorb the thousand-year soul ring, that didn't mean he wasn't worried at all. So this time, he wanted to find a soul beast with a relatively gentle personality and no aggressiveness. In any case, all Tian Lin wanted was the attributes in the soul ring.

"By the way, that guy seems pretty good." Chen Xin was, after all, the sect-protecting Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Although he didn't particularly enjoy studying knowledge about soul beasts, he knew much more than the average person under Ning Fengzhi's influence. So, he quickly thought of a suitable guy.

Immediately, Chen Xin grabbed Tian Lin and rode his sword in one direction.

The temperature around them gradually began to rise, indicating that they had clearly arrived at a place favored by fire-attribute soul beasts.

"Master, what exactly are you taking me to find?" Tianlin asked, unable to contain his curiosity.

“Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast,” Chen Xin replied to Tian Lin.

"Purple fire! Does it mean purple flames? Is this purple fire due to high temperature, or does it possess a special ability that turns it purple?" Tianlin asked a crucial question.

These two are very different. If it is the first one, it means that the fire attribute energy of the Purple Fire Golden-Eyed Beast is very strong.

The temperature of a flame determines its color. As the temperature rises, the flame changes color continuously, from red-orange (3000 degrees Celsius) to yellow-white (4000 degrees Celsius) to cyan-blue (5000-6000 degrees Celsius) and then to purple (above 7000 degrees Celsius).

If the Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast achieved its purple color purely through temperature, then it's truly remarkable. Unfortunately, Chen Xin shook his head. If that were the case, why would he have led his disciple to hunt such a dangerous soul ring?

"The reason why the Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast's flames are purple is because they are a kind of poisonous fire. However, this poisonous fire is not deadly. Its only use is to seal the opponent's soul power," Chen Xin explained.
