Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

"First, there was Nana. She rashly launched a mental attack, but she didn't expect that the opponent's mental strength was stronger than hers, so she was backfired and lost her ability to fight right away."

"Then there's Yan, who is brave but reckless and overly arrogant. He insists on using weak soul skills to toy with others. If you had used your fourth soul skill from the beginning, how could you have ended up with your soul power sealed?"

"Finally, it's you, Xie Yue. Nana and Yan were both restrained by that Tian Lin, so their defeat is understandable. But what about you? You are the one here with the best chance of defeating him, yet you are still being led by the nose by him."

In the end, Bibi Dong stood up, her aura radiating outwards, the imposing presence of a Title Douluo making it impossible for the three of them to straighten their backs.

“Your Holiness, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on the three of them. It is simply that Tianlin is too powerful and cunning. Even I was tricked by him,” Ghost said, trying to persuade him.

"Yeah, who would have thought a nine-year-old child could be so terrifying? If anyone else had been in this situation, they would probably have ended up like Old Ghost." As his best friend, Yue Guan naturally couldn't watch Ghost suffer for nothing.

Bibi Dong glanced at the group and sneered, "Heh, so you're all completely convinced by Tian Lin and don't plan to seek revenge anymore, is that right?"

"Of course not, teacher. I swear to you, next time, I will definitely defeat him!" Hu Liena raised her head firmly, bracing herself against the pressure of a Title Douluo-level expert, and stared directly at Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong sat back on the papal throne with satisfaction. Today, she finally heard a sentence that satisfied her. Nana truly lived up to her reputation as her direct disciple; her indomitable spirit was very much like hers.

Chapter 84 The Discussion of the Spirit Hall

“Very well, since things have come to this, let’s leave it at that for now. But I’m telling you, if you lose to that Tianlin again, you’ll all have to go to the Lost Canyon for three years of training!” Bibi Dong said.

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they were still very frightened. The Lost Canyon was probably a place where only ghosts could survive. In three years, they might really become ghosts.

"Teacher, do you know what Tianlin's abilities are? Why can he restrain me and Yan, and even my brother's and my Martial Soul Fusion Technique is useless against him?" Hu Liena asked. She needed to know as much information about Tianlin as possible so that she could defeat him next time.

That defeat was a lifelong disgrace to her, and only Tianlin's blood could wash it away!

“According to you, that Tianlin is indeed extraordinary. The reason why your charm didn’t work on him, Nana, is because he has a soul bone protecting him, and it’s a head soul bone that increases spiritual power.”

"The reason why Yan's attack flames suddenly disappeared was because of the absolute suppression of attributes. He should possess the ultimate fire. Finally, there's his third soul skill, called Feng Shui Flow, right? I guess that move is used to remove status effects. Although your and Xie Yue's martial soul fusion is powerful, it's still a status-type soul skill, so of course it will be tightly restrained by him."

Bibi Dong, as expected of the Pope and the master's former lover, guessed Tianlin's situation with great accuracy just from their conversation.

The only mistake was that Tianlin possessed not a head soul bone, but an external soul bone. After all, that kind of thing was too rare, and no one would think of that.

"So, we actually have a good chance of winning. If I don't target him with my charm, but instead target the other two, I should be able to defeat them easily. And Yan, as long as he doesn't use fire and instead uses earth, he won't be countered by Tianlin. My brother even has a chance to kill Tianlin. As long as he doesn't use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, with my brother's soul power of over level 40, his use of Full Moon alone is not something a level 30 Soul Master can handle." Hu Liena's combat intelligence was indeed quite good. After listening to Bibi Dong's analysis, she immediately came up with many countermeasures.

"Nana is right. We were just tricked this time. We will never lose to him again next time."

"My moon blade will surely behead him with my own hands next time!"

Hearing Hu Liena's words, Xie Yue and Yan immediately regained their confidence. Ghost Douluo, standing to the side, nodded secretly. Hu Liena was indeed worthy of being the Pope's personal disciple; her abilities were truly stronger than his own. Failure was not terrible; what was terrible was the fear of failure.

She easily helped the two of them regain their faith.

"Now, let's talk about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. What a magnificent second-largest sect in the world, with four Douluo in one family! This has completely surpassed the Clear Sky Sect of yesteryear." Bibi Dong got down to business. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's strength had become too great, making it a major concern for her.

"Your Holiness need not worry. Although a family with four Douluo may seem powerful, they are still far inferior to our Spirit Hall," Yue Guan reassured him.

Bibi Dong glanced at Yue Guan and said, "Foolish, don't forget that among those four Douluo, there is Chen Xin, who is number one in attack and swordsmanship; Gu Rong, who is number one in defense; and Dugu Bo, who is number one in group battles."

"No matter how many Title Douluos we have, it's meaningless to them. Dugu Bo, who holds the Snow Swan Kiss, can poison all Title Douluos below Super Douluo." Bibi Dong originally planned to deal with the four Title Douluos of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, all of whom were below level 95.

The plan has to be changed now, but the highest-ranking subordinates are Yue Guan and Gui Mei. Even they are no match for Dugu Bo. Does she have to take action herself?

Bibi Dong quickly rejected the idea. The next ten years were a crucial time for her to inherit the position of Rakshasa God, and she could not afford to lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of small gains.

Then there's only one way left. Bibi Dong looked towards the direction of the Offering Hall. In the future, she would probably have to pay a price to get the people there to help her deal with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Alright, you can all leave now. I need to think this over. Oh, and Nana, stay." Bibi Dong waved her hand, dismissing Yue Guan Gui Mei and the others.

"Um, Your Majesty, we promised the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School a ten-thousand-year-old gemstone-type soul bone. Should we keep our promise?" Ghost asked tentatively before leaving.

Bibi Dong slammed her scepter on the ground. "Hmph, you said that in front of all the major sects and the Heaven Dou Royal Family. Do you think we can go back on our word? We still have three ten-thousand-year gem-type soul bones stored up. Have Lordia take one and send it to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Remember, don't choose the head!"

Gem-type soul bones are best suited for the head; their effectiveness is greatly reduced in other parts. Bibi Dong ultimately wanted to minimize her losses.

"Yes!" Ghostly was afraid that Bibi Dong would get angry again, so she quickly retreated with Yue Guan and the others.

Only Bibi Dong and Hu Liena remained in the Papal Palace.

Hu Liena asked respectfully, "Teacher, is there something you need from me?"

“Nana, I know that what you just said was only to restore Xie Yue and Yan’s confidence, but ask yourself honestly, what are your chances of winning if you encounter Tian Lin again in the future?” Bibi Dong questioned, wanting to hear Hu Liena’s true thoughts.

Hu Liena lowered her head, realizing she couldn't hide it from her teacher after all. "The odds of winning are less than 50%, and they will continue to decrease as time goes on."

She was taking into account Tianlin's terrifying talent. Even now, with a difference of nearly ten levels between them, Tianlin could still crush them. Once he caught up with them in level, there would be no hope left.

"As expected, I never thought that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would produce such a genius. Apart from her, I'm afraid there is no one else in the world who can rival her. It's a pity..." Bibi Dong thought of Qian Renxue. Her talent was no less than Tianlin's. It was just a pity that Qian Renxue and she did not get along well. In fact, they were like oil and water.

"Nana, your talent is absolutely top-notch. You have to believe in yourself. Now, absorb this!" Bibi Dong suddenly took out a sapphire blue head soul bone.

The soul bone slowly flew into Hu Liena's hand, much to her surprise. "Teacher, what is this?"

"The Skull of Wisdom, formed from the spirit of a spirit beast over 50,000 years old, is the finest among spirit-type spirit bones. Since that Tianlin surpassed you in spiritual power because of his spirit bone, then you should win back in the same way. Do you think our Spirit Hall's spirit bones are inferior to those of his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?" Bibi Dong said with great confidence.

This soul bone was originally intended as the prize for the champion of the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament several years later, but Bibi Dong brought it out ahead of time so that Hu Liena could successfully defeat Tian Lin in the future.

"Thank you, teacher!" Hu Liena was overjoyed. Of course, she knew how precious this soul bone was. After absorbing it, her spiritual power would be at least several times stronger, and she would no longer be afraid of Tianlin.

Hu Liena regained her confidence completely. "Tianlin, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, you just wait! I, Hu Liena, will make you pay the price sooner or later!"

Chapter 85 Three Years Later

Time flies, and three years have passed since the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's title conferment ceremony.

For the past three years, the Douluo Continent has been very peaceful, so the biggest event that everyone remembers is the title conferment ceremony.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, with four Douluo in one lineage, is now known as the number one sect in the world. Because the Clear Sky School has long been in seclusion, people's impression of this sect is that it only has two Douluo in one lineage, which is incomparable to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School today.

After three years, Tianlin was no longer the nine-year-old child he once was, but a handsome twelve-year-old boy, and his strength far surpassed that of the past.

The scene where he crushed the three members of the Spirit Hall is still unforgettable.

At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Soul Arena, today is a rare day for Tianlin and Gu Ran to return from the Royal Academy to visit their families. In order to test their cultivation progress, Chenxin Gurong specially invited several ordinary Soul Masters to test their strength.

First is Gu Ran. His soul power has now reached level 44, and his four soul rings, two yellow and two purple, demonstrate his strength as a Soul Master.

Not only that, he also obtained another soul bone three years ago, which was one of the two soul bones that the Spirit Hall gave to Dugu Bo.

They reaped a great harvest back then. Dugu Bo's two ordinary soul bones were a strength-type left arm bone and a poison-type skull. The left arm bone was given to Gu Ran, while the poison-type skull has not yet found a suitable person to absorb it.

As for Dugu Yan, she had something even better: the skull of the Poison Electric Salamander, one of the other two extremely precious soul bones.

This skull was a betrothal gift from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family to Dugu Bo, and its owner is naturally Dugu Yan; no one would object to that.

The soul skill that Dugu Yan used to absorb this soul bone was truly terrifying; it was a powerful technique that even Tian Lin couldn't dodge.

Finally, there was the ten-thousand-year-old gem-type soul bone sent by the Spirit Hall: the right leg bone of the Amethyst Spirit Cat. The Amethyst Cat is a gem-type soul beast whose entire body is covered with precious stones. It is extremely fast and has extremely strong spiritual power, and can use its sharp claws to strike the soul of its opponent.

If it were a soul bone on the arm, it would most likely inherit its soul skill Cat Spirit Claw, which attacks the soul. However, since it is a leg bone, it only inherited its speed soul skill, Amethyst Clone.

This soul bone was very suitable for Rongrong, so Ning Fengzhi gave it to her. After Ning Rongrong absorbed this soul bone, and combined it with the Drunken Immortal Gazing at the Moon Step taught to her by Tianlin, her ability to survive on the battlefield was greatly improved.

"Gu Ran, good luck! If you lose today, Grandpa Bone will probably break your bones!" Tian Lin laughed.

"Boss, don't worry." Gu Ran turned around and said confidently.

"A good opportunity!" Gu Ran's opponents perked up instantly upon seeing this, seizing the momentary opening and launching a fierce attack.

"First Soul Skill, Bull Charge."

"First Soul Skill, One Slash to Begin the Journey."

"Third Soul Skill, Self-Sacrifice Charge."

The three Soul Masters launched a series of attacks. Even a Soul King wouldn't dare to withstand it head-on, but Gu Ran simply didn't dodge or evade, relying solely on his body to block all the attacks, without even using the Death Tyrannosaurus Soul Bone skill.

Over the years, he has absorbed all the medicinal power of the Ironclad Peony, so it wouldn't be wrong to say that Gu Ran is now a defensive Soul Master.

Gu Ran raised his head, glanced at the three of them, and said, "Now it's my turn to counterattack, right? Fourth Soul Skill, Domain of Bones!"

Gu Ran slammed his arm on the ground, and instantly, countless skeletons emerged from beneath the earth. These skeletons were not only incredibly tough, but also contained toxins. Anyone who was pierced by them, even with just a minor scratch, would have the toxins enter their body and cause complete paralysis.

It can be said that this is a wide-range soul skill that combines strong attack and control, and it is considered top-tier among fourth soul skills.

Gu Rong personally selected this spirit ring for him. Because Gu Rong's own fourth spirit skill was a similar Bone Domain, he knew how powerful this move was and what kind of spirit ring he would have a high probability of obtaining this move. As a result, Gu Ran succeeded.

In an instant, the three Soul Masters were surrounded by the bone forest and unable to move. However, since they were all on their side, Gu Ran showed mercy. The bones merely grazed past them and did not actually harm them.

"Brother Gu Ran is indeed formidable; we humbly admit defeat." The three Soul Masters immediately conceded defeat. They all knew that if Gu Ran hadn't shown mercy, they would already be three corpses.

"Sigh, these ordinary Soul Masters are no match for Ran'er at all. They can't even withstand a single Soul Skill from him, let alone cause him any trouble!" Gu Rong said, looking quite distressed.

Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi, standing to the side, were speechless. Anyone could tell that this guy was just showing off.

"Old bones, since that's the case, why don't we let Xiaotian go down and compete with Gu Ran? It's not good for young people to be too proud; they need to be given a blow from time to time," Chen Xin teased.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ran seemed to choke on his food, his smile abruptly vanishing. Finally, he said resentfully, "Old Sword Master, if you want someone to compete with my disciple, you should at least find someone first. Is your disciple even human? He's practically a reincarnated monster!"

Ning Fengzhi nodded. Although he was also annoyed by Gu Rong's smugness, he had to admit that what he said was true.

Tianlin's current level is in no way inferior to Gu Ran's, and his fourth spirit ring...

Everyone looked towards the Soul Arena. After Gu Ran went down, it was Tian Lin's turn to go on stage. He had more opponents than Gu Ran, a total of seven Soul Masters.

However, the seven Soul Sect members were not arrogant because of their numbers. Instead, they looked nervously at the boy who was much younger than them. As members of the same sect, no one knew better than them just how terrifying the boy was.

"Brothers, I'm coming! Take this! Sword Control Technique!" Tianlin flicked his finger, and the demonic sword shot out.

After several years of training, Tianlin has finally mastered the art of sword control to a high level. Now, when facing weaker opponents, he doesn't need to wield his sword to fight them.

"Ten Thousand Swords Technique, Phantom Sword, Ten Thousand Swords Slay Demons!"

"Ten Thousand Swords Slay Demons" is a new combination soul skill created by Tianlin. After mastering the Ten Thousand Swords Technique, he discovered that fusing this move with the Phantom Sword would multiply its power several times over.

Because the current Heavenly Scale Myriad Swords Technique is only in its initial stage and has not yet reached the level of truly ten thousand swords, but it is definitely capable of producing a thousand swords. With the addition of the Shadow Sword, each demonic sword can split into five shadow swords.

In the sky, more than five thousand swords immediately pointed at the seven Soul Masters. Once they landed, they could turn them all into hedgehogs in an instant.

"Wait, Boss Xiao Tian, ​​we admit defeat!"

The seven Soul Masters immediately cried out, too lazy to even release their Martial Souls. Since they couldn't win anyway, what was the point of resisting? They might as well just lie down and avoid getting beaten up.

Tianlin didn't move an inch after taking the stage, and didn't even reveal his spirit rings, yet he easily won the victory.

Gu Rong had an expression that said, "I told you so, Old Swordsman. It was a waste of time to find someone to test this monster. Now that Xiao Tian is going all out, I'm afraid even a Soul King might not be able to defeat him, and he might even be able to put up a fight against a Soul Emperor."

Chapter 86 Ning Rongrong Runs Away from Home

Since Tianlin and Gu Ran could only stay for one day and had to return to the Tiandou Royal Academy the next day, the two of them took the rare opportunity to put aside their cultivation and go home to spend time with their families. Moreover, Tianlin had to go back to Qibao Village to visit his parents that evening.

Although Tianlin had always wanted to bring his parents to live with him, they were not used to life here and returned to Qibao Village after only a few days. Seeing this, Tianlin let them be, as long as they were happy.

However, during lunch, Tianlin noticed that one person was missing from the table.

"Uncle Ning, where is Rongrong?" Tianlin asked in confusion. Where did his little aunt, who used to chatter away by his side every time he came back, go?
