Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

Seeing Tianlin wake up, Ning Rongrong was overjoyed, and tears even welled up in her eyes. However, she did not forget the important matter and ran to the door as fast as she could, shouting, "Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, Dad, come quick! Brother Sword is awake!"

Chapter 36 External Soul Bone

"Xiao Tian, ​​how are you? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

In the room, Ning Fengzhi examined Tianlin's body again. He found that Tianlin was incredibly strong, both physically and mentally. Theoretically, there was absolutely no problem. However, Chenxin was still worried and asked him several more times.

"Master, don't worry, I'm really fine. Actually, I haven't been unconscious these past few days; my consciousness has just been in my own sea of ​​consciousness." Tianlin reassured him that he was in very good condition.

After he told them about the significant expansion of his spiritual sea, they finally understood that Tianlin had been sorting out his suddenly surging spiritual power these past few days.

"The Sea of ​​Spirit, Xiao Tian can actually observe his own Sea of ​​Spirit. This is something that many spirit-type soul masters can do. It's something that sword-type martial souls can't do. It seems that his second martial soul is also related to spiritual power." Ning Fengzhi speculated in his heart.

However, there was still one thing that puzzled him: why would absorbing a spirit ring cause Tianlin's spiritual sea to expand?

The Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast attacks with its eyes, which could be considered a mental-type soul beast, but the soul ring Tianlin absorbed was only a little over a thousand years old; its mental power shouldn't be this strong.

"Xiao Tian, ​​can you tell me the whole story of how you absorbed the soul ring?" Ning Fengzhi was really curious; something must have happened to Tian Lin.

Everyone here is trustworthy, and Tianlin has no intention of hiding anything from them. He simply recounts what happened in the Sea of ​​Spirit, and apart from the Shushan Treasure Record, he does not conceal anything else.

Unexpectedly, Ning Fengzhi was overjoyed after hearing this. "I understand now! No wonder your mental strength has increased so much. Xiao Tian, ​​you've really gotten a great deal this time!"

"Fengzhi, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly, what exactly happened to Xiaotian?" Chenxin hated it most when these smart people always only said half of what they wanted to say, arousing people's curiosity and then not continuing.

"Hehe, Uncle Jian, don't worry. If I'm not mistaken, what attacked Tianlin in his spiritual sea should be a soul bone, and it is the Flame Golden Eye of the Purple Flame Golden Eye Beast!" Ning Fengzhi laughed.

Soul Bone!

This term shocked everyone present. Soul bones are incredibly precious treasures in the world of soul masters, and the appearance of any soul bone inevitably leads to fierce battles and scrambles among soul masters.

Even the wealthy and powerful Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School doesn't have much of this stuff in stock.

"Wait, something's not right." At this moment, Bone Douluo was puzzled. "Aren't the parts of a soul bone supposed to be six parts in total: head, torso, and limbs? What about these eyes? Could it be...?"

He clearly had a guess; he feared that what Tianlin had obtained was something far more precious than ordinary soul bones.

"Uncle Bone, is it the one you mentioned? Could it be that Xiaotian absorbed an external soul bone?!" Ning Fengzhi's tone was extremely excited.

The rarity of external soul bones far surpasses that of ordinary soul bones. If the probability of an ordinary soul bone appearing is one in a thousand, then the probability of an external soul bone is less than one in ten thousand.

In the world of Soul Masters, there's a ranking of the most precious things a Soul Master can acquire, called the Soul Master Dream Ranking. External Soul Bones consistently rank second on this list, second only to the almost impossible-to-exist 100,000-year Soul Ring. The most unique aspect of external Soul Bones is that they evolve as their owner's Soul Power increases. Therefore, the earlier one absorbs an external Soul Bone, the better.

In the original novel, Tang San absorbed an external soul bone at level 30, while Tian Lin absorbed it even earlier, which can be described as having exceptionally good fortune.

"So it's an external soul bone, no wonder it's so powerful." Tianlin finally understood what his opportunity was.

He directly mobilized his soul power and gathered it in his eyes. Soon, his black pupils turned crimson, and flames seemed to burn within them.

Inside the room, the temperature began to rise rapidly. Ning Fengzhi and the others knew that Tianlin had activated his external soul bone, and they were also very curious about what was so special about his golden fiery eyes.

Tianlin walked to the window and stared into the distance. Everything in his view seemed to stand still. He could even see how many times a mosquito's wings flapped in a second.

Moreover, the distance is quite far, several kilometers.

Tianlin turned to look at Ning Fengzhi and the two Douluo, "Uncle Ning, Master, Elder, after activating my external soul bone, I found that all my attributes have increased, especially my mental strength and insight, which have been strengthened to an extremely terrifying level."

Ning Fengzhi nodded. "Just as I thought. Eye-type external soul bones mainly enhance spirit and insight. As for soul skills, are there any actively cast soul skills attached to them?"

"Yes, there is a move called Golden Flame Soul Scorching, which is a mental attack soul skill. It can make the opponent's spirit feel as if it is in a raging fire, delivering a fatal blow. However, this move also consumes a lot of my mental energy. Using it once consumes almost half of my mental energy."

Tianlin did indeed acquire a very powerful soul skill, but he couldn't use it easily. Ning Fengzhi and the others, however, said it didn't matter. "It's okay. The reason why the consumption is high now is because the age of your external soul bone is still very low. As your strength increases in the future, it will become stronger and stronger. Not only will the consumption decrease, but the power of the soul skill will also become more and more terrifying. Mental attacks are extremely rare."

Chen Xin agreed, "Xiao Tian's Demon-Suppressing Sword surpasses even my Seven Kill Sword and the Clear Sky Hammer of the Clear Sky Sect in terms of physical attack. Now, with the addition of such a terrifying soul attack, it seems that my title as the number one attack Douluo on the continent will soon be changed!"

Chen Xin would be very happy if his own disciple replaced him.

"Wow, another soul bone! Sword Brother is so amazing! Now Sword Brother has two soul bones, while Rongrong doesn't have one yet." Ning Rongrong's cute voice was filled with envy.

This little girl still thought Tianlin had a gem-like soul bone, completely unaware that Tianlin had been deceiving her to hide the fact that he possessed twin martial souls.

One can imagine that if Ning Rongrong ever learned the truth, she would be so angry that she would bite Tianlin hard with her little tiger teeth.

Ning Fengzhi smiled; the growing relationship between Ning Rongrong and Tianlin was exactly what he wanted to see.

"Xiao Tian, ​​you are the most outstanding Soul Master I have ever seen. I believe your future is far more than just a Title Douluo. Perhaps even the so-called human limit of level 99 will not be able to stop you. When that time comes, the important task of protecting Rongrong and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will be entrusted to you."

"Don't worry, Uncle Ning, no matter where I go, I will never forget that I am a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School," Tianlin promised.

He could say that without any hesitation because he never thought of going against his principles.

Chapter 37 Ice and Fire God Sealing: Tianlin's Powerful Second Soul Skill

The next day, in the martial arts arena of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Tianlin and Sword Douluo Chenxin stood facing each other.

Of course, they weren't going to fight each other. Even though Tianlin had virtually no rivals at the same level, he was still incredibly weak against a level 96 Super Douluo like Chen Xin.

Today's purpose is for Chen Xin to test the power of his disciple's second soul skill.

A thousand-year-old soul skill, it shouldn't disappoint me.

This task should have been done yesterday, but Ning Rongrong held Tianlin tightly. As far as she was concerned, her sword brother had only just woken up, how could he fight? What if something else happened?

There was nothing they could do but let Tianlin rest for another day because of the crying and fussing of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Princess.

"Master, are you ready? I'm about to attack," Tianlin reminded him.

"You brat, you think I need to prepare after blocking an attack from a Great Soul Master like you? Bring it on!" Chen Xin said calmly.

"Alright, then please accept my challenge, Master." After Tianlin finished speaking, a purple halo flashed beneath his feet, and at the same time, his first soul ring was also shining brightly in harmony with his second soul ring. "After fusing with the soul ring of the Purple Fire Golden-Eyed Beast, my sword has already incorporated the attribute of fire, and this move is the second soul skill produced by fusing the attributes of water and fire, Ice and Fire God Sealing!"

Tianlin channeled all his soul power and unleashed two sword energies, one blue and one red.

Wherever the sword energy passed, the ground was either covered in ice crystals or pitch black. Moreover, this sword energy was not only sharp but also extremely fast.

Chen Xin was taken aback. He realized that he had underestimated his disciple. He actually sensed a threat from the two sword energies and quickly stretched out his palm and used his soul power to defend himself.

A soul power shield blocked the two sword energies, but soon cracks slowly appeared on the shield.

"What? I've already used almost level 20 of my soul power, and I still can't stop Xiao Tian's attack." Chen Xin was extremely shocked.

He is a Title Douluo, and the quality of his soul power is far superior to that of ordinary Great Soul Masters. As a high-level Soul Master, the level 20 soul power he releases is enough to rival that of a level 40 Soul Master.

"If level 20 isn't enough, I'll increase it to level 25, then level 30!" Chen Xin continued to increase his soul power output until level 30, when he finally managed to completely block Tian Lin's Ice and Fire God Sealing.

"Haha, old swordsman, you've embarrassed yourself this time. You actually used Soul Venerable-level Soul Power to deal with a Great Soul Master." Bone Douluo loudly mocked his old friend, as this was one of the few opportunities he could humiliate him.

But Chen Xin seemed to ignore him, and just stared at his own palm in silence.

"Alright, you've all seen Brother Jian's soul skill. He belongs to Rongrong from now on." Ning Rongrong grabbed Tianlin's arm and said, "Brother Jian, come play with Rongrong, otherwise you'll have to go back to the academy soon."

Ning Rongrong cherished every moment she spent with Tianlin, and so did Tianlin. He smiled and patted her head, saying, "Okay, let's go. I'll stay with you until we get back to the academy."

After saying that, he cupped his hands towards Ning Fengzhi and the others and said, "Then Uncle Ning, Master, Elder Gu, I'll take my leave."

After Tianlin and Ning Rongrong left, Ning Fengzhi was still observing the ice crystals and flames on the ground, as well as a large crack that had been cleaved open by sword energy.

"Their attack power is terrifying, comparable to a Soul Master, and they also possess the power of ice and fire. I have never seen such a powerful weapon spirit before," Ning Fengzhi exclaimed.

"Yes, thankfully he's from our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School." Bone Douluo was also relieved, but there was also a layer of envy. How could such a good successor be his old rival Chen Xin? And then he thought of his own good-for-nothing Gu Ran. It was all tears.

Growing increasingly annoyed, Gu Rong angrily said to Chen Xin, "Hey, old swordsman, how long are you going to keep looking at your palm?"

"Old bones, let me ask you, when you use level 30 soul power, can an ordinary Soul King hurt you?" Chen Xin suddenly asked this question, leaving Gu Rong completely confused.

"Of course not. I am a level 95 Title Douluo. My level 30 is not the same as an ordinary Soul Master. Even a Soul King's fifth Soul Skill might not be able to hurt me." Gu Rong said matter-of-factly. He was not exaggerating; it was the truth.

"But look." Chen Xin suddenly opened his palm, revealing two cuts that were being eroded by the power of ice and fire.

It wasn't until Chen Xin used his sword energy that he was able to expel these two attributes.

"You're injured? How is that possible?" Gu Rong asked in disbelief. He clearly saw Chen Xin block Tian Lin's attack.

"Not only am I injured, but my soul power has also been sealed by half a level. I think Tianlin's sword energy should have inherited the soul-sealing ability of the Purple Fire Golden-Eyed Beast, Ice and Fire God Sealing, hehe, what a fine Ice and Fire God Sealing."

Although Chen Xin's hand was injured, he was overjoyed. Tian Lin's second soul skill was even better than he had imagined; it could even seal his soul power. If it were a soul master of the same level, they would probably be sealed by seven or eight levels, or even more, instantly.

“Feng Zhi, we were all wrong before. Tian Lin’s martial soul’s attack power isn’t its strongest point. Its true strength lies in its domineering nature, not just in the sword, but also in the bead,” Chen Xin said with emotion.

"Overbearing? That's right, exactly." Ning Fengzhi, a theoretical expert, suddenly understood after being reminded by Chen Xin.

"Xiao Tian's martial soul is strongest in that it is domineering, even to the point of ignoring the rules. When a soul master absorbs a soul ring, no auxiliary soul skill can interfere, but Tian Lin's bead completely ignores this rule."

"And this sword, it ignores the difference in level and deals true damage. In other words, as long as it hits, even if it's a god, I can hurt you."

"True damage, and there's even a martial soul like that? Is he some kind of monster?" After hearing Ning Fengzhi's explanation, Gu Rong couldn't help but swallow hard, looking somewhat apprehensive. If Tian Lin were to reach level sixty or seventy, wouldn't his attack power increase significantly? Wouldn't he be able to directly kill a Title Douluo with true damage?

Moreover, many of those titled Douluo are extremely arrogant. If they look down on Tianlin and think that a Soul Emperor or Soul Saint can't hurt them at all, and foolishly try to block him with their own soul power, just like Chen Xin did today, then they probably won't even know how they died.

"Hehe, Spirit Hall, Clear Sky Sect, in thirty to forty years, you will no longer be able to surpass my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School." Ning Fengzhi looked at the plaque of his own hall and said with high spirits.

Feeling the power of Tianlin's martial spirit, he was extremely confident in the future of the sect.

Chapter 38 Return to Heaven Dou

Three days later, Tianlin bid farewell to Rongrong, Chenxin, and the others, and returned to the Tiandou Royal Academy.

He was supposed to leave two days ago, but Ning Rongrong cried and wouldn't let him go, so Tianlin had no choice but to stay with her for two more days.

Upon returning to Tiandou City, Tianlin did not go directly to the Royal Academy, but instead went to the Imperial Palace to inform Xue Qinghe that he had returned.

Although this guy is disguised as a man, he still has the heart of a woman. His pettiness is on full display. If you don't go to see her as soon as you get back, she will definitely complain about you for a long time.

Because of the Crown Prince's decree, Tianlin did not need to report when entering the Eastern Palace. It was noon, which should have been lunchtime, but Xue Qinghe was still handling state affairs. He had no choice; he had to maintain his image as a diligent Crown Prince at all times.

Because of his performance, many ministers who were originally undecided have turned to his side. After all, now the only remaining princes are him and Xue Beng. If they don't choose him, are they going to choose Prince Xue Beng, who is known for his playboy and arrogance?

"Your Highness, Young Master Tianlin has arrived!" a maid whispered in Xue Qinghe's ear.

Because Tianlin had visited many times, the people in the Eastern Palace had come to know him. They all knew that Tianlin was not only the Crown Prince's junior fellow disciple, but also his close friend.

"Xiao Tian, ​​you're back!" Xue Qinghe put down his official duties, stood up, and said happily.

"Yes, Brother Xue, I have successfully obtained my second soul ring and just returned today. I came to pay my respects to you!" Tianlin was very polite, which made Xue Qinghe somewhat dissatisfied.

"Xiao Tian, ​​I've told you many times, there's no need to be so formal when you come here. Just relax." Xue Qinghe then ordered the palace maids, "You may all leave. I want to catch up with my junior brother."

She thought Tianlin had to pretend like this because there were many outsiders around.

In reality, Tianlin really didn't want to get too close to Xue Qinghe, because after spending several days with her, he realized that she was indeed a very charming person. If she were to revert to the image of Qian Renxue, she would probably be even more captivating.

Unfortunately, they were destined to be enemies. If they became too close, Tianlin worried that one day he wouldn't be able to bring himself to harm her, and then he would be the one to die.

The current situation is just right. Although they are in contact, they maintain a certain distance. She uses the power of the Heavenly Snow to accelerate her cultivation, and he also uses the Nuwa Meditation Method to help her purify her soul power. Neither of them owes the other anything. Even if they eventually reveal their true intentions, it would not be considered ungrateful for her to kill him, nor would it be considered disloyal for him to kill her.

"By the way, Xiao Tian, ​​could Brother Xue take a look at your second soul ring?" Xue Qinghe asked as she walked to Tian Lin's side. What she cared about most was Tian Lin's cultivation level. The stronger Tian Lin was, the stronger the power of Tian Xue would be.

Once Tianlin reaches the same level as her, their cultivation speed will increase several times over. Perhaps it won't be long before she can return to the Spirit Hall and take back the position of Pope from that woman.
