Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

Tianlin's first method of unleashing Frostbite is to concentrate the power of ice into the sword's edge, which not only enhances the attack power but also imbues the attack with a strong freezing ability.

"Tianheng, I'm here! Take this! Moon Shoots the Cold River!" Tianlin made the first move, leaping and thrusting his sword straight forward.

"Well done! Behold my Thunder Dragon Windbreaker!" Yu Tianheng raised his dragon claw and faced it head-on.

In an instant, the sword and claws clashed, and Yu Tianheng's dragon claws actually caught a spark on Tianlin's sword blade, which greatly reduced the power of the ice.

In this round of combat, Yu Tianheng gained a slight advantage and unleashed six consecutive claw attacks on Tianlin at lightning speed, each strike combining speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness.

Fortunately, Tianlin had mastered the movement techniques of the Shu Mountain Sect, which allowed him to narrowly avoid the attack. However, Yu Tianheng still managed to scratch five marks on his chest.

Chapter 41 Tianlin VS Yu Tianheng (2)

Tianlin glanced at the strip of cloth on his chest and sighed, "What amazing claw techniques! Is this one of the original soul skills passed down through generations of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family?"

“That’s right, this is the Seven Claws of the Coiling Dragon!” Yu Tianheng withdrew the dragon claws and said, “I can see that what you just used was just a basic sword technique. It’s impossible for you to win against my family’s soul technique. Why not use the Seven Kill Sword Technique?”

"Alright, then take this! Spread your killing intent!" Tianlin knew that he could never defeat Yu Tianheng with just the basic swordsmanship of Shu Mountain, so he had to get serious.

A dense killing intent gathered towards Tianlin, sending chills down one's spine. Yu Tianheng knew that anyone would feel fear when faced with killing intent.

However, if this fear suppresses the will to fight, it will cause one's combat power to drop rapidly. Therefore, at this time, one should rise to the challenge.

"Thunder Dragon Claw, Thunder Dragon Breaks the Wind!"

The Seven Kill Sword Technique is all-encompassing, with no retreat. Tian Lin naturally wouldn't dodge at this moment. Both of them unleashed their ultimate moves while activating their first soul skill, with power comparable to a Soul Master.

The countless clashes of sword and claw, ice and lightning are incredibly exciting to watch.

Just then, Yu Tianheng suddenly changed his move, turning his claw into a fist. Blue lightning crackled continuously as he gathered his power. It seemed that his first soul skill, like Tianlin's, was not only a status-based soul skill but could also be released.

Yu Tianheng threw a punch, and a thunder dragon head roared as it charged toward Tianlin.

Tianlin raised his longsword high and slashed down, shouting, "Ning Hanxue, go!"

In an instant, the powerful freezing force neutralized Yu Tianheng's lightning, and the two remained evenly matched.

"This is like watching a battle between a young Sword Douluo and a Thunder Douluo," Meng Shenji exclaimed. Although these two were only Great Soul Masters, their strength was no less than that of a Soul Venerable.

"Xiao Tian, ​​you are indeed very powerful. So, how do you plan to deal with this move? Second Soul Skill, Thunderous Might!"

Yu Tianheng finally used his trump card, his second soul skill. This move was also a single-target attack, but its power was several times greater than that of Thunder Dragon Claw.

Several bolts of lightning converged into one, and a powerful current swept towards Tianlin.

"I also have a second soul skill, Ice and Fire God Sealing!" Tianlin instantly mobilized the power of ice and fire, unleashing two sword energies to clash with Yu Tianheng.

The two sides were locked in a stalemate in the center of the field.

"Xiao Tian, ​​you are indeed very strong. My Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex has never met its match in attack. Although you used a thousand-year soul skill against my hundred-year soul skill, you still have reason to be proud." Yu Tianheng's words of certain victory came from the lightning.

The two sides have now entered into a contest of soul power. Even though the power of their soul skills is comparable, how can Tianlin make up for the four-level gap?

As can be seen, Tianlin's ice and fire powers were gradually suppressed by Yu Tianheng's lightning and electricity.

"Tianheng has gained the upper hand!" Many of those who had bet on Tianheng's victory were excited.

"Hehe, it seems it's about time, but the outcome doesn't depend on this one strike!" Tianlin smiled slightly, and as he spoke, he actually withdrew his power. The thunderous force, now unimpeded, struck Tianlin fiercely.

This startled Yu Tianheng. He hadn't expected Tianlin to suddenly withdraw his power, and he cried out anxiously, "Xiao Tian, ​​get out of the way! I can't stop my soul skill!"

The thunderous attack was incredibly powerful; if it hit Tianlin head-on, he would be crippled even if he didn't die.

"Frozen Snow!" At this moment, Tian Lin instantly unleashed his first soul skill. Surprisingly, he managed to completely block Tian Heng's thunderous attack with just his first soul skill.

"Hehe, Tianheng, you have no chance now!" Tianlin pressed his advantage and slashed horizontally with his sword. Yu Tianheng stretched out his dragon claw to block, but the immense force from the sword's edge sent him flying halfway across the field.

"The final move of the Shu Mountain beginner sword technique: Gale and Thunder!"

A Soul Master specializing in offensive attacks unleashes the strongest offensive power in the shortest amount of time. Tianlin's basic swordsmanship has reached a transcendent level, with each move seamlessly connected, almost without any time difference.

The "Raging Wind and Thunder" move is the strongest in the Shu Mountain beginner sword technique, characterized by its speed and direct aim at the opponent's vital points.

Of course, Tianlin would not kill Yu Tianheng, so he slightly deviated from the direction of the sword, and the sword that was originally aimed at the heart was instead aimed at the shoulder.

"Thunder Dragon Protection!" Yu Tianheng quickly used the second move of the Seven Claws of the Coiling Dragon, a defensive move. Lightning formed a glove-like object that enveloped Yu Tianheng's hand, and then he grabbed Tianlin's sword blade, attempting to block the attack.

"Tianheng, stop struggling. You can't stop my sword now." Tianlin increased his strength again, and the sword blade sliced ​​through Yu Tianheng's palm, instantly leaving a bloody mark on his shoulder.

Although his palms were protected by lightning, they were still frostbitten by the cold air of the frozen snow.

"What happened? The situation has suddenly turned around. How did Tianlin suddenly become stronger?" Dugu Yan was both anxious and puzzled. The originally favorable situation was completely changed after Tianlin withdrew his second soul skill.

"No, it's not that Tianlin has become stronger, but that Tianheng has become weaker. Can you see that?" Meng Shenji asked Bai Baoshan and Zhilin beside him.

"Hmm, it seems that Tianlin's second soul skill is not only an attack move, but also has the effect of weakening the opponent." The two nodded in unison. As Soul Douluos, their insight was much better than that of the students.

"Wait, where is my soul power? Why can't I use it!" Yu Tianheng looked at his palm and finally realized something was wrong. He could feel that his soul power was still quite sufficient, but a portion of it was unusable, about level seven. In other words, his current soul power was only about level nineteen.

Once his soul power decreases, his attack power, defense power, and speed will naturally decrease gradually.

"Tianheng, it seems you've finally realized that my second soul skill isn't just for attacking, but also for sealing soul power. During the time you were fighting me with Thunderous Might, I sealed at least seven levels of your soul power!" Tianlin raised his longsword and laughed. "Admit defeat, Tianheng. You can't withstand my second soul skill now."

Tianlin's second soul ring lit up again, and he planned to use the Ice and Fire God Sealing Technique once more.

Yu Tianheng was stubborn and would not admit defeat so easily. He was also preparing to activate his second soul ring and fight Tianlin again.

But then he realized that his second spirit ring was no longer the bright yellow it used to be, but a gray ring, and he couldn't use his spirit skills at all.

"What?! After my soul power changed from a Great Soul Master to a Soul Master, even my second soul ring was sealed!" Yu Tianheng was extremely shocked. Tianlin's second soul skill was a bit too domineering.

"Wow, this Ice and Fire God Sealing Technique is so powerful?" Tianlin was stunned. He only knew that it could seal soul power, but he didn't expect it could also seal soul rings.

Yu Tianheng sighed, withdrew his martial spirit, and said, "Fine, Xiao Tian, ​​I admit defeat."

He originally wanted to give it a shot, but now that his soul power and soul rings are all sealed, what can he use to fight Tianlin? He should just admit defeat as soon as possible to avoid getting hurt.

Upon hearing this, Tianlin also withdrew his martial spirit. It was just a friendly spar, and they should stop when they had reached their limit.

Chapter 42 Oslo Gets Tricked, Royal Fighting Team Formed

Upon hearing Yu Tianheng concede defeat, a commotion erupted below. They were astonished that Tianlin, with a soul power of level 22, had actually defeated Yu Tianheng, who was level 26.

He's not even eight years old yet! Is he a genius or a prodigy?

This battle led many people to begin to acknowledge Tianlin, and the fear they had previously felt towards him because of the Ordos incident gradually turned into respect.

It wasn't just because of his strength, but also because he always held back in battle, stopping short of killing. Clearly, he wasn't the kind of person with a murderous intent; rather, he was a kind-hearted child.

Add to that her universally adorable face, and it's hard not to like her.

"Wow, I never noticed before, this junior is not only good at fighting but also cute, and he has a really good temper. I love him so much." Someone in the crowd suddenly became a fangirl.

"Before, everyone would avoid him, so of course they couldn't see how good he was. It's infuriating. I should take him home and raise him while everyone is keeping their distance. Then, this future Title Douluo will belong to me."

Even worse, some people actually wanted to kidnap Tianlin and raise him as a child husband.

Although Tianlin caused many of them to lose gold soul coins, these people held no resentment. They were all born into noble families, and a few hundred or a few thousand gold soul coins were nothing to them.

But one of them broke down. Oslo rushed to the edge of the ring and roared in anguish, "Tianheng, how could you admit defeat? My life and fortune depend on you!"

"What the hell?" Yu Tianheng was completely confused. "I can't beat Xiao Tian, ​​so if I don't admit defeat, am I just going to keep getting beaten up?"

Yu Tianheng knew that Tianlin had already shown him mercy. His sword energy had deliberately grazed his body, so apart from his clothes being torn, Yu Tianheng only had a few small wounds on his body. With his physique, they would heal quickly without any bleeding. He was a man who knew when to advance and retreat, so of course he wouldn't make trouble. Moreover, he could afford to lose this fair and just battle.

At worst, I can double my training time and work hard to win it back.

"Why don't you give it a try, Tianheng? Maybe after Xiaotian used his soul skills so many times, he'll have very little soul power left. You might still have a chance of winning then." Oslo was like a drowning man trying to grasp at the last straw.

"What are you talking about? Tianlin only suffered a great loss of soul power, but I even had my soul rings sealed. Now my strength has regressed to the Soul Master level, and I am bound to lose." Yu Tianheng decisively cut off his lifeline.

Just then, a jade-like hand appeared behind Oslo and extended a finger, tapping his shoulder.

When Oslo turned around, he saw Ye Lingling, who was beautiful and charming but expressionless.

“Oslo, I won. Tianlin’s odds are 1 to 2. Besides returning the 130,000 gold soul coins I bet, you also need to give me an additional 260,000, for a total of 390,000 gold soul coins. Considering we’ll be teammates in the future, I’ll round it down to 400,000!” She spoke the most chilling words in the most ordinary language.

"You're rounding down, not rounding up. Yu Feng, you tell me too. Don't forget, you're also part of the deal." Oslo tried to pull Yu Feng into the fray to take the blame.

Unexpectedly, Yu Feng immediately summoned his martial soul, the Wind Chime Bird, saying, "I'm just here to help you set up your stall, not to be the dealer. Don't bother me."

After saying that, Yu Feng flew away and disappeared without a trace. He really sold out his teammates.

"Oslo, hurry up and pay, or I won't use Nine Heart Begonia to treat you even if you get injured during the next training session!" Ye Lingling continued to urge.

As agreed with Tianlin and Gu Ran, the gold soul coins won would be split 50/50. After returning the 130,000 gold soul coins that were used as chips to them, she would receive at least 130,000 gold soul coins. The cultivation of support-type soul masters consumes more resources than that of attack-type soul masters, so this money would be enough for her to live on for a long time.

"Big sister, could you write me an IOU? Can I pay in installments?" Oslo said pitifully. Although his family was noble, they weren't as wealthy as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Four hundred thousand gold soul coins would be enough for his family's expenses for several years.

Ye Lingling nodded. "Okay."

She didn't intend to make things too difficult for Oslo, after all, they were teammates, and she wasn't going to refuse to treat him.

"So that's how it is. No wonder you wouldn't let me admit defeat." Yu Tianheng finally understood. This guy Oslo actually bet money on his match with Tianlin, and because Ye Lingling placed a large bet, he seemed to have lost a lot of money this time.

"Teacher Qin Ming said long ago, 'You'll always lose if you gamble for too long.' I told you not to listen to him, so good luck to you!" Yu Tianheng smiled gloatingly, then pulled Dugu Yan away.

Although he wasn't injured this time, his soul power and mental energy were greatly depleted, and he needs to rest well. With his girlfriend by his side, he will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"Senior Lingling, you can take your share of the money Senior Oslo will pay later. As a support-type Soul Master, your cultivation resources are consumed faster than ours. Give me and Gu Ran any extra." At this moment, Tianlin stepped forward and added insult to injury.

"You, so the money for Lingling was provided by you and Gu Ran. You actually teamed up to swindle me." Osro suddenly felt as if the whole world had betrayed him.

"I didn't mean to trick you. I was just confident in my abilities," Tianlin said innocently, his still-childish face making him incredibly deceptive.

But now, in Oslo's eyes, he was utterly cunning.

"I'm just confident in my boss's strength!" Gu Ran said as he saw Tian Lin preparing to leave, and then followed him eagerly. He was really honest; he only knew that following his boss meant there would be plenty to eat, and that was definitely true.

Ye Lingling quickly brought over a piece of paper. "Oslo, I've already written the IOU. Put your fingerprint on it!"

In despair, Oslo stretched out one hand, letting Ye Lingling manipulate it at will. Finally, the world where only he was wounded appeared.

After today's battle, Tianlin's reputation spread far and wide. Yu Tianheng, despite losing, was not ridiculed because of his outstanding performance in the battle.

Qin Ming saw the benefits of showcasing strength through soul battles. He intended to make all nine of them famous so that they would be valued by the academy and receive more cultivation resources. Therefore, in the following days, he arranged for the remaining seven to engage in soul battles with each other.

On the first day, the Shi brothers' double defense combination faced off against Oslo and Yufeng's agility-based attack combination.

The next day, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's "Goddess Group" faced off against Tian Lin and Gu Ran's "Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Group".

On the third day, the Shi brothers and Ye Lingling joined forces to form the strongest defense and the strongest recovery combination to face the double attack of Tianlin and Yu Tianheng. Even with such high attack power, it took them most of the day to barely break through their defenses and win.

Unbeknownst to them, the reputation of the nine-person group had spread throughout the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. The three education committee members realized that Qin Ming seemed to be intentionally cultivating the strongest combination, probably in preparation for the future All-Continent Elite Soul Master Competition.

Moreover, the nine people he selected were indeed outstanding enough. Within three years, they would all be among the best of the Heavenly Dou level. So, after some discussion, Meng Shenji waved his hand and issued an order to allocate cultivation resources to the nine people.

Furthermore, the team name for the nine members has finally been officially confirmed, just like in the original work: Royal Fighting Team!
