Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

The force of the Heavenly Tornado Annihilation Fist was pushed back at an extremely fast speed.

"What?" Seahorse Douluo's eyes widened in shock, but before he could react, the terrifying chill had already turned him into an ice sculpture.

"Heh...heh..." Ning Rongrong knelt down with a sigh of relief. With her current cultivation level, forcibly using the pride of the Ice and Snow Emperors was just like Tian Lin using the Heaven and Earth Spirit Slash, which had completely drained her soul power.

However, this move is indeed powerful. Even though Ning Rongrong cannot fully unleash its power yet, it is enough to bridge the gap in strength between a Soul Douluo and a Title Douluo, allowing her to challenge opponents of higher levels.

With Seahorse Douluo frozen in ice, the outcome of the battle was decided, and Ning Rongrong successfully passed the fifth test.

The light of the sea god descended from the sky: "Ning Rongrong, you have passed the fifth test of the sea god. Your affinity with the sea god has increased by 10 percent, now it is 45 percent."

"Zhu Zhuqing, for assisting the inheritor in passing the fifth test, is rewarded with a one-level increase in soul power, now at level seventy-eight!"

As expected, Ning Rongrong's affinity score in the fifth test was not high. When Tianlin passed the fifth test, his affinity score was fifty-five, and Tang San in the original novel also had fifty.

There's nothing we can do about it. She really took shortcuts to pass the first four rounds of the assessment. It would be quite good if she could still improve by 10%.

In addition, Zhu Zhuqing also received a commendation, taking another step closer to becoming a Soul Douluo. It seems that the Light of the Sea God has healed her injuries, and she can now stand up.

At this moment, Poseidon Douluo stepped through the air and landed gracefully. He first removed the ice seal from Seahorse Douluo, then turned around and said, "Ning Rongrong, congratulations on passing the fifth test. However, your fifth test did not fully satisfy Lord Poseidon. Therefore, the difficulty of the sixth test will be increased."

"Originally, your sixth test was supposed to be enduring the combined attack of the Seven Sea God Pillar Douluos for the duration of an incense stick burning. But now, due to the increased difficulty, it has changed. Instead of the original seven Sea Douluos, it has become me. I allow you to participate in the test together. Get ready."

Chapter 495 Tianlin Arrives

When everyone heard Poseidon, the Sea God Douluo, say those words, their faces turned completely black.

The sixth challenge actually puts them directly against Limit Douluo?

Although they didn't know exactly how strong Poseidon was, several of them had witnessed the great battle between Chen Xin and Qian Daoliu.

A thousand streams of holy light pierced through the air, instantly turning the hundreds-of-meters-high mountain summoned by Tianlin's mountain god into ashes. Chenxin also casually unleashed a sword strike that caused the heavens and earth to shatter.

Back then, Ning Fengzhi, Yu Yuanzhen, Gu Rong, Dugu Bo, and Yin Yang, five titled Douluos, joined forces to fight against Qian Daoliu. It should be noted that this also included two super Douluos, Yu Yuanzhen and Gu Rong, as well as Ning Fengzhi, the world's number one support.

The combined strength of these five individuals was no less than that of the seven Pillar Guardians working together. Yet, despite this lineup, they were utterly powerless to resist.

At that time, if Chen Xin hadn't used his weapon disintegration technique and broken through to the Limit Douluo level on the spot, the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would have been slaughtered by Qian Daoliu alone.

This is the power of the Limit Douluo.

At this moment, Yu Tianheng was somewhat envious of those who had passed the fourth or fifth exam; at least they didn't have to face such powerful opponents.

Seeing their despairing expressions, Poseidon smiled slightly and said, "Calm down, I haven't finished speaking yet. During the assessment, I cannot use the power of the sea or the temple to attack you, nor can I use the power of my domain. I can only use the first six soul skills. Also, if any one of you is still standing when an incense stick has burned out, then you will pass the assessment. However, you only have one chance. I will give you three days to prepare. Three days later, you will be assessed by me."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief. Without the eighth and ninth strongest attack soul skills, and without being able to use their Martial Soul True Body, they might still have a glimmer of hope.

"Is the sixth trial still against Poseidon? Luckily I arrived early, so I can lend a hand if anything goes wrong." In the shadows, behind a reef, Tianlin leaned against the rock. In fact, he had already arrived while Ning Rongrong was fighting Seahorse Douluo.

Ning Rongrong's current strength surprised him a little. He didn't expect that she had even mastered the pride of the two Ice and Snow Emperors. It was truly rare.

It seems that the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor have been taking good care of her during this time. This was a soul skill that Huo Yuhao could only use with the help of his soul ring.

However, Huo Yuhao's martial soul is the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, while this move is dominated by the Snow Emperor. Therefore, Ning Rongrong, who directly uses the Snow Emperor as her martial soul, can perform it more easily. It's just that she can't unleash the full power of this move yet due to her cultivation level.

Tianlin arrived early precisely because he was worried that Poseidon would still try to kill Ning Rongrong as before.

After all, although Tianlin promised to bring Tang Chen to see her, words are not enough. Poseidon was only half-believing and half-doubting. She might not actually show mercy for a vague promise.

Tianlin did not want Poseidon and Tang Chen to meet too early.

The safest way is to reappear during the assessment and let Poseidon see Tang Chen in his hands. Even if Poseidon disregards the assessment and attacks Tianlin directly, Tianlin will not be afraid of her.

After reaching level 96, Tianlin's strength increased again. If he didn't fight on Poseidon Island, Poseidon would probably be no match for him. Even here, Poseidon couldn't do anything to him.

Once Poseidon realizes that she cannot snatch Tang Chen back from Tianlin, she will naturally understand that the only way to get Tang Chen back is to help Ning Rongrong pass the sixth test.

The reason Tianlin didn't show up beforehand was because he was afraid Ning Rongrong and the others would plead for her life. Over the past few years, Poseidon had kept his murderous intent towards Ning Rongrong very hidden, and had always taken good care of them.

If he had appeared earlier, and Poseidon had made his request, Ning Rongrong and the others would not have remained indifferent and would have asked Tianlin for help, which would have put Tianlin in a dilemma.

After all, he couldn't refuse to give face to either his wife or his brother, so acting first and informing them later was the best solution.

"Hmm?" Just then, Poseidon glanced at the reef, casually swung his hand and smashed the reef to pieces, but there was nothing behind it.

"High Priest, what's wrong?" Sea Dragon Douluo asked respectfully.

"It's nothing, just my imagination," Poseidon said, puzzled. She had just sensed a faint life force over there, but it vanished in the blink of an eye.

The reason she thought it was an illusion was because she didn't believe that anyone in the world could hide themselves from her in a place like Poseidon Island, not even Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu back then.

As the crowd dispersed, Poseidon returned to the palace, and the seven Sea Douluos each guarded their respective sacred pillars. Tianlin then emerged, taking a deep breath. "Phew, that was too close. As expected of the Sea God Douluo, if I hadn't made a breakthrough a few days ago and improved my strength considerably, she would have definitely discovered me just now. The invincibility of the ocean is not just a saying."

On the other side, the group also came to the shore to rest for a while and discuss tactics. To be honest, they were all in a very heavy mood, after all, their opponent was the Sea God Douluo.

Moreover, only four people remain to participate in the assessment: Ning Rongrong, Yu Tianheng, Oslo, and Oscar.

With just those few, they probably couldn't even withstand a single blow from Poseidon.

“I still have a bit of Boss Tianlin’s blood on me. By using the Mirror Image Sausage, I can unleash a bit of Boss Tianlin’s power, which should be helpful to Rongrong, right?” Oscar spoke first.

Oslo retorted, "In that case, with my six soul bones and invincible golden body and ethereal soul skills, I can definitely block a few attacks for Rongrong."

"Thank you, Oscar, Oslo!" Ning Rongrong smiled slightly, her heartfelt gratitude for everyone's help.

However, hearing them say that, Yu Tianheng felt embarrassed, because he had nothing.

With his attack power, he definitely couldn't break through Poseidon's defense, and his defense wasn't enough to withstand a single blow from Poseidon. It's a shame he's the captain of the Royal Fighting Team, yet he can't help his younger brother and sister-in-law at all.

At this moment, he had the same idea as Dai Mubai in the original story: to go out to sea, hunt soul beasts, and advance to the Soul Douluo level, increasing his strength by even a fraction.

However, he was rejected as soon as he opened his mouth, not only because it would have a great impact on Yu Tianheng's future, but also because even if he wanted to hunt soul beasts, they had to be at least sub-dragon species, if not true dragons.

In this vast ocean, where is he supposed to find a dragon-type soul beast? He can't just have one drifting in from the sea, can he?

Just then, Shi Mo stared at the sea and murmured, "Tian Heng, have you ever seen a two-headed dragon? It's all orange, with a long neck and sharp teeth. And the two heads are strange; one is normal, but the other is on its neck with its mouth facing upwards."

“A two-headed thunder dragon!” Yu Tianheng blurted out. “This is a soul beast that my Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is recorded as being very suitable for. What’s wrong, Stone Mill? Why are you bringing this up out of the blue?”

The stone mill pointed to the sea, "Is that what it is?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng turned his head to look at the sea. He saw a soul beast floating on the sea, exactly as Shi Mo had just described. Moreover, the thing seemed to be breathing, which meant it was alive.

Yu Tianheng was shocked. "Holy crap, it really did float here!"

Chapter 496 Reunion of Husband and Wife

Yu Feng spread his wings and flew towards the sea, dragging the two-headed thunder dragon from the sea onto the shore.

Although the thunder dragon was not dead, it was taking in more air than it was exhaling, indicating that it had suffered considerable damage.

"That's really strange. Why would a two-headed thunder dragon appear in the sea? It's a land-based soul beast!" Yu Tianheng asked, puzzled. Could it be that the family records were wrong, and that the thunder dragon was actually amphibious?

"Could it be that he was injured on land, escaped into the sea, and then drifted to Poseidon Island?" Osro speculated.

“How is that possible? You’re a slacker who always gets last place in theory exams. Do you even know how far Seagod Island is from the mainland? Soul beasts that enter the sea from the land could never drift here. They would either drown halfway or be eaten by sea soul beasts, let alone this Thunder Dragon which is so badly injured.” Dugu Yan rejected Oslo’s unrealistic conjecture.

Oslo retorted, "Who said I was last? I was second to last! In our final exams before graduation, I scored a full two points higher than Xiaotian!"

"But Xiaotian isn't here now, so you've become number one," Shi Mo added mercilessly.

Osro was speechless. He realized how important Tianlin's existence was to him. He couldn't help but sigh, "My little Tianlin, where are you? Come quickly, I don't want to be at the bottom!"

Dugu Yan ignored this silly academic slacker and said to Yu Tianheng, "Tianheng, no matter where this thunder dragon came from, can you tell whether its age is suitable for you?"

Yu Tianheng nodded, "Of course. Although my knowledge of soul beasts can't compare to Lingling's, if we're limited to lightning-attribute and sub-dragon soul beasts, I guarantee Lingling can't beat me either. After all, I'm the direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family."

Unlike Oslo, this was the first time Yu Tianheng hadn't missed Ye Lingling so much. After all, as long as Ye Lingling wasn't around, he was number one in the Royal Fighting theory.

Tianheng observed the two-headed thunder dragon's size, skin color, and neck length, and his eyes lit up. "Good, this two-headed thunder dragon is over 70,000 years old. It's even more suitable for me than a divinely bestowed soul ring."

With his eighth spirit ring secured, everyone was happy for Yu Tianheng. This significantly boosted his strength and increased his chances of passing the sixth trial.

Tianlin smiled slightly from the shadows. This two-headed thunder dragon was of course something he had prepared specially. After crippling it, he sealed it with a dark gold seal and presented it to Yu Tianheng as a gift.

Tianlin knew that Tianheng was the one who needed soul beasts the most here. As for the others, it didn't matter if they didn't have divinely bestowed soul rings, there were so many soul beasts in the sea that they could choose whatever they wanted.

However, due to the special nature of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, Tianheng needed a dragon-type soul beast, which was not easy to find. That's why he went to Sunset Forest specifically to find this two-headed thunder dragon.

Yu Tianheng killed the two-headed thunder dragon and then began absorbing its spirit ring.

Ning Rongrong frowned as she watched Tianheng absorb the soul ring. This was too much of a coincidence. Rather than saying that the two-headed thunder dragon drifted in, it was more like someone deliberately sent it.

Someone is secretly helping them. Who is it?

"It seems he's already here," Zhu Zhuqing suddenly said with a smile as she walked up to Ning Rongrong.

"Zhuqing, who are you talking about?" Ning Rongrong pretended not to know.

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at her teasingly, "You know perfectly well why. Although I don't know why he doesn't show up, I think you should pass your sixth test without any problems. He will protect you and help you pass."

Ning Rongrong nodded, her face flushed with embarrassment. She was very happy that Tianlin had arrived ahead of schedule.

That night, Yu Tianheng was still absorbing soul rings, while Dugu Yan protected her husband. Ning Rongrong quietly left the girls' camp and headed into the forest.

If Tianlin were to reappear during her sixth test, that would take another three days, and she couldn't wait that long.

"Brother Jian, I know you're here. Come out!" Ning Rongrong called softly. After a long time, there was still no response. Now she felt completely wronged. Her lips pursed and tears welled up in her eyes. "You've clearly come, but you don't see me. Do you not like me anymore? If that's the case, I won't take the sixth test. I'll go to sea and go home to find you right now."

Tianlin, hiding in the shadows, felt helpless. So many years had passed, and this girl was already twenty, yet sometimes she still acted like that ten-year-old girl from back then.

It's especially bad when it comes to him; he gets willful and capricious at the slightest thing.

Left with no other choice, Tianlin had to reveal himself, otherwise he feared that this little devil might actually find a boat and go out to sea alone in order to force him to come out.

"Rongrong." Tianlin's call brought Ning Rongrong, who was sobbing with her head down, back to her senses.

Upon seeing her husband, whom she had longed for day and night, Ning Rongrong could no longer contain herself and threw herself into Tianlin's arms. "Brother Jian, you're so annoying! You came all this way but didn't come out to see me. You must have fallen for someone else, right? Isn't it Qian Renxue?"

Tianlin hugged Ning Rongrong back and laughed, "Well, Rongrong, as for Qian Renxue, I wouldn't say I've fallen for someone else, because I've always loved both of them. I love you 80% and she 20%."

"You!" Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth in anger. What happened to the deep affection between husband and wife? After three years apart, he came right out of the door and told her that she only occupied 80% of his heart, and the other 20% had long been taken by another woman. You, Jun Tianlin, are just as blatantly scum as ever.

Enraged, Ning Rongrong opened her mouth, revealing her little tiger teeth, and bit Tianlin's shoulder. However, with her meager bite force, she couldn't even leave a mark on Tianlin's skin.

"Bite someone right off the bat, you really have the air of a little witch." Tianlin smiled and stroked her hair, completely unconcerned.

"Hmph, just because he's strong he bullies people, his skin is as thick as a scaled beast." Ning Rongrong said with dissatisfaction, then her eyes lit up as she looked at Tian Lin's lips, "That's right, this part is thinner."

……

After a long while, Tianlin covered his lips with a pained expression. This little girl was really ruthless. No matter how profound his skills were, he had never practiced to this extent. She had even bitten him until he bled.

However, this could be considered a kind of romantic gesture between the couple, so Tianlin did not use the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone to speed up his self-healing.

After venting her anger, Ning Rongrong's anger completely dissipated. At this moment, she leaned against Tianlin's chest, reluctant to leave.

"Brother Jian, why did you arrive early?"
