Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and said, "Her... because she went to see you at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy last time and saw that you had another woman, she got angry and ran away from home!"

Upon hearing this, Tianlin's expression became anxious. "I don't have any other women. Those women came to me on their own..."

With Tianlin's strength, appearance, and status, he would naturally attract some women who wanted to climb the social ladder. One day, when Ning Rongrong came to visit him, she happened to see a senior student with a vulgar figure delivering food to Tianlin, which made her furious.

Tianlin was anxiously explaining, but when he saw Ning Fengzhi listening while leisurely sipping tea, his eyes immediately narrowed.

When this guy talked about his daughter leaving home, he seemed nonchalant, as if he didn't care at all. Seeing his expression, Tianlin knew that Ning Rongrong's whereabouts must be under his control. He had just been too worried and lost his composure for a moment.

With the current defensive capabilities of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it would be impossible for Ning Rongrong to sneak out unnoticed.

After scanning the room, Tianlin noticed that besides Rongrong, someone else seemed to be missing. "Uncle Ning, where is Grandpa Ying? You must have sent him to protect Rongrong, right?"

"I didn't do that. It was Uncle Ying who went on his own. Ever since he was promoted to Title Douluo, he said he had achieved his life goal and had nothing to do every day, so he secretly followed Rongrong." Ning Fengzhi put down his teacup and said calmly.

Yin Yang's original potential limit was actually only level 89, the peak Soul Douluo. He might have been stuck at this bottleneck for life. Even though he broke through with the help of Tian Lin's pills, the power of the Purple Gold Pills had been exhausted. Now, no matter how Yin Yang cultivates, his soul power progresses at an extremely slow speed. He will probably only reach level 92 or 93 at most in his lifetime, and it will be basically impossible for him to become a Super Douluo.

Therefore, he now focuses his main energy on nurturing the younger generation. Ning Rongrong, whom he treats like a granddaughter, is the apple of his eye. This old man's doting on Ning Rongrong is no less than his love for his two sword-wielding bones.

"Hmph, Feng Zhi, you still dare to say that? How could you let Rongrong go out alone? If it weren't for the eagle going with her, I would have given you a good talking to." Sword Douluo immediately frowned when he thought of this.

Ning Fengzhi originally only wanted to send two minor Soul Kings to protect them secretly. Their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wasn't without Soul Saints or Soul Douluos; they even had four Title Douluos.

“Rongrong will be safe. With the reputation of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, we can deter most Soul Masters. Moreover, judging from the direction Rongrong is heading, she probably wants to join Shrek Academy,” Ning Fengzhi said.

Just like in the original story, Ning Rongrong went to the place she was supposed to go, but this time there were two reasons. One was out of spite, because she was angry that Tianlin was too popular with women. She wanted to find a team to defeat the Tiandou Royal Academy and prove her excellence.

The reason she knew about Shrek Academy was because she had asked Tianlin before whether there was anyone he considered a true opponent in the next All-Continent Soul Master Academy Tournament.

At that time, Tianlin casually mentioned two academies, Spirit Hall Academy and Shrek Academy. Ning Rongrong remembered these two names. Of course, she would not go to Spirit Hall. She remembered clearly the scene when they bullied Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with their power. She only hated Spirit Hall.

Therefore, she only had one choice left: Shrek Academy.

The second reason, however, was for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Tianlin had said that he would go to Shrek Academy sooner or later. There were several people there, some of whom he needed to use, some of whom he needed to recruit into the sect, and others of whom he had to suppress to a certain extent to prevent them from becoming too powerful and uncontrollable in the future.

The most important one is Tang San. Although Tian Lin no longer needs his help with immortal herbs and is unlikely to return them to him, and might even trick him, don't forget that Tang San is also skilled in hidden weapons. The direct disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have no offensive capabilities, so these hidden weapons are crucial to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Therefore, before tricking him, we should make good use of him.

In the original story, it was thanks to the hidden weapons he provided that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was spared annihilation during the Soul Hunting Operation.

The Shu Mountain Sect excels in swordsmanship, Taoist arts, sword forging, and alchemy, but lacks knowledge of hidden weapons. Therefore, Tang San is still the only one who can handle hidden weapons.

With the intention of helping her sword-wielding brother, Ning Rongrong went to Shrek Academy to scout things out first. She would also try to build good relationships with the people Tianlin was going to invite. With the future sect leader personally inviting them, wasn't that enough face?

"Hmph, Shrek Academy is nothing, how could it possibly teach as well as we do?" Gu Rong slammed his fist on the table in anger, clearly displeased that Ning Fengzhi had let Ning Rongrong go.

In fact, Shrek Academy is not entirely unknown. It is said that a young elder in the Spirit Hall graduated from there, and Qin Ming, the genius teacher of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, also came from there.

Qin Ming's soul power is now at level 65, three levels higher than in the original story. With his talent, the Purple Gold Pill is just icing on the cake, and becoming a Title Douluo is only a matter of time.

Hearing Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo's angry retorts, Ning Fengzhi felt a headache coming on. They were clearly being unreasonable, but he really had no way to stop these two doting granddaughters from complaining, especially since both of them were Super Douluo among Title Douluo.

"Master, Grandpa Gu, don't worry. My current teacher is also from Shrek Academy. When I have time, I'll have Teacher Qin take me to see Rongrong," Tianlin comforted the two old men.

Ning Fengzhi pressed on, adding, "Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, you should be relieved now that Tianlin has said that. With Uncle Ying and Tianlin here, nothing will happen. Besides, Rongrong really needs to go out and see the world. Staying in the sect and cultivating behind closed doors all the time is not good for her growth."

Upon hearing this, Gu Rong nodded secretly, agreeing with Ning Fengzhi's reasoning.

"Hmph, if Rongrong gets into trouble, I'll hold you accountable!" Chen Xin said ruthlessly before flying away on her sword.

Ning Fengzhi broke out in a cold sweat; he couldn't afford to offend a grandfather who doted on his granddaughter.

On the other side, Tianlin arrived at the sect's alchemy department. In recent years, the sect has added a new hall called the Medicine Hall. Unlike the other three halls that are responsible for combat or reconnaissance, this hall is mainly responsible for assisting the sect's disciples in their cultivation. The nominal leader is Dugu Bo, but in reality, it is Tianlin who is in charge.

After all, Tianlin had promised Dugu Bo that he wouldn't give him any work, and he meant what he said.

At this moment, Dugu Bo was lying alone on a deck chair, enjoying the cool shade under a tree. Snakes really do like shady places.

"Little monster, you're back?" Dugu Bo knew who it was without even opening his eyes when he heard footsteps.

Chapter 87 Shrek Academy

Seeing that Dugu Bo didn't even bother to open his eyes, Tianlin said helplessly, "I say, old monster, you're being too leisurely. Are you really planning to retire now? You know, you're not even ninety years old yet. As a titled Douluo, you'll live to be at least 150 after the poison is cured. You're just going to spend the last sixty years of your life lying on a recliner?"

"Haa!!" Dugu Bo stretched and yawned, then said, "Didn't you say you would take care of me in my old age? I've found this kind of life quite nice. The environment is so good. I eat and sleep every day, and cultivate my soul power when I have free time. I don't have to worry about the poison in my body flaring up, nor do I have to worry about those guys from the Spirit Hall coming to cause me trouble. It's so comfortable."

“But if this continues, I’m afraid your body will become rusty. You still need to move around when necessary,” Tianlin earnestly advised.

"I don't fight with my body, so what if I'm rusty? Anyway, my poison gets stronger every day," Dugu Bo said dismissively.

Tianlin knew this guy wasn't lying, because in the past three years, Tianlin had transcribed the alchemy section of his Shushan Treasure Record and given it to him. Dugu Bo had nothing to do, so he studied various highly poisonous herbs. Now his Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch was divided into two layers. Apart from the bottom of the second layer, which held his trump card, the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss, there were at least a dozen different kinds of poisonous herbs in the first layer.

These poisonous herbs not only contain extremely potent toxins, but they can also combine with his Jade Scale Serpent Emperor Poison to produce various terrifying poisons. Although his level has not increased in recent years, his combat power has at least doubled. If he were to fight against the two Douluo, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, now, they would definitely not be able to defeat Dugu Bo's endless stream of poisons.

"Fine, whatever!" Tianlin shook his head, ignoring him, and walked into the alchemy room.

At this moment, Dugu Bo opened his eyes, looked at Tian Lin's departing figure, and murmured, "This little monster's soul power has increased again. He is truly an exceptional monster. I originally thought that his cultivation speed would be slowed down by that extreme attribute, but I didn't expect that he could still surpass most geniuses."

Tianlin's soul power progressed so quickly, and we have to thank Dugu Bo for giving him the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. The ice and fire attributes there were so abundant that they perfectly compensated for the slow cultivation caused by Tianlin's extreme attributes.

Tianlin now only spends half a month at the academy each month, and spends the rest of his time meditating and cultivating at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. There is a poison array set up by Dugu Bo there, and no soul beasts or other people to disturb him, making it a true treasure land for cultivation.

Even when he returned to the academy, he and Xue Qinghe used the power of the Heavenly Snow to assist in their cultivation, and their speed was not slow at all.

As for why he didn't just rely on the power of Heavenly Snow to cultivate every day, it was simply because Tianlin didn't want to give too much credit to the enemy. Qian Renxue's cultivation speed was simply too terrifying. She was at the 20th level of the Innate Realm and had no extreme attributes to hold her back. Tianlin had long ago discovered that since she started cultivating the power of Heavenly Snow, her true level had already approached that of a Soul Saint.

If things continue like this, by the time she officially appears in the original story, she will probably have become a true Contra Master, and then how will I be able to defeat her?

However, over the years, Xue Qinghe has been extremely good to Tianlin. Even though she is busy as the Crown Prince, she always makes time to visit him, or brings him some pills to aid his cultivation, or some precious soul tools, or even a lot of information about soul beasts with attributes.

Unbeknownst to him, Tianlin had already owed her many favors, which made him somewhat embarrassed. If he continued to owe her like this, it would be a question whether he could even bring himself to beat her in the future, let alone defeat her.

Whenever he thought of this, Tianlin always hoped that he could find a way to repay her favor, even if it meant aiding the enemy. Although Tianlin was not a good person, his bottom line was that he could not forget kindness. Even if he had to fight Qian Renxue to the death in the future, he would first repay her for everything he owed her.

As Tianlin entered the alchemy hall, several disciples immediately came forward to greet him, "Greetings, Young Master."

These people were all disciples of the Alchemy Hall, and they were all Soul Masters with mediocre strength. Originally, they could only serve as gatekeepers. It was Tianlin who discovered them and taught them alchemy knowledge, making them important figures in the sect. Therefore, these people were extremely grateful and respectful to Tianlin.

Tianlin nodded. "Well, everyone, since I'm returning to the Tiandou Royal Academy tomorrow, I'd like to trouble you to refine some pills for me and then send them over."

"Young Master, please give your orders." They would never refuse Tianlin's commands.

"One Profound Origin Pill, one bottle of Ice Soul Pill, one bottle of Breath Concealing Pill, and a few Soul Nourishing Pills, how long will it take you?" Tianlin asked.

After discussing it for a moment, they replied, "Reporting to Young Master, apart from the Profound Origin Pill which will require a little more effort, the rest of these pills are quite simple. We guarantee to complete them within half a month and deliver them to you."

"Half a month? That should be about right." Tianlin thought for a moment and agreed. "Alright, I'll wait for your news. Thank you all!"

"Young Master, you flatter us. It is our honor to serve you," the medicine hall disciple said in a flustered manner. Sometimes, Tianlin's excessive politeness made them feel unreal.

These pills were not made by Tianlin for himself, but were given to some of the Shrek Seven Devils. As long as they were willing to follow him and join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Tianlin would not hesitate to make them not only a few ordinary pills, but also divine pills of the highest grade.

Of course, if you don't join, Tian Lin won't give you a single feather.

In addition, Tang San has many good things on his side, and he wants to try his best to trick them into giving them to him.

On the other side, Ning Rongrong, who had left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, was like a wild horse. It was her first time in the outside world, and she looked around excitedly.

The jealousy she had initially felt because of Tianlin had completely vanished by now.

"This little princess really has the mind of a little girl!" Yin Yang, who was hiding in the shadows, shook his head with a smile. She had only been out for a short time. Not to mention Ning Fengzhi and the others, even her favorite sword brother was probably forgotten by now.

Shopping spree was Ning Rongrong's biggest activity. Since she had money and a storage of soul tools, she didn't miss out on any strange or unusual things and didn't care how much she bought.

Of course, such a beautiful and wealthy girl naturally attracted the attention of many villains. However, with the titled Douluo Yin Yang secretly protecting her, they were all killed by Yin Yang before they could make a move.

And so, Ning Rongrong arrived at the legendary Shrek Academy without any major incidents.

"No way, this is the Shrek Academy that Brother Jian was talking about? My family's cafeteria is more luxurious than this!" Looking at the dilapidated academy gate, Ning Rongrong sighed inwardly. Could such a run-down academy really produce talents who could rival Brother Jian and the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall?

You have to understand, they are monsters among monsters. Let alone defeating them, it would be difficult to find even one among the younger generation who can come close to them.

Chapter 88 Yin Yang's Discovery of a 100,000-Year-Old Soul Beast

"Are you kidding me? This is supposed to be a Soul Master Academy, an academy that claims graduates can become viscounts!" Other parents who came to register shared Ning Rongrong's skepticism.

One of the boy's fathers said somewhat uncertainly, "This is what the people from the Spirit Hall said, so it shouldn't be wrong, but this academy is far too dilapidated."

The boy kept complaining to his father, "Dad, I don't want to study here. It's too embarrassing. I'd rather go to the Soto Intermediate Soul Master Academy. After all, I was a genius when I was in the Junior Soul Master Academy."

"Since we're already here, let's wait a little longer. Maybe this is just a test, and the real academy isn't here," the boy's father could only advise.

Similar comments were definitely common in the queue. Most of the teenagers and their parents showed disappointment on their faces. Ning Rongrong had been learning from Tianlin for so long that she had long since learned a bit of the ability to read people's expressions.

She noticed that, besides herself, there were three other people in the crowd who were quite extraordinary, and their expressions remained unchanged.

They were a man and a woman three positions behind her, and a girl at the very end of the line. In addition to the Drunken Immortal Gazing at the Moon Step, Tianlin had also taught her the Shu Mountain's perception method, so she was extremely sensitive to soul power. The soul power of these people was only slightly inferior to hers. If these people also joined this academy, then she began to believe that this academy indeed had the strength to rival the Spirit Hall Academy.

The person in charge of registration was an elderly man in his sixties. He was lazy and dressed very simply, looking no different from an ordinary villager. However, Ning Rongrong could still sense that the old man's soul power was extraordinary, at least at the level of a Soul King.

The fact that a Soul King or higher-level expert can be in charge of registration speaks volumes about the academy's faculty strength.

At this moment, a young man came to the table to register. The old man said lazily, "The registration fee is ten gold soul coins. Just put it in that box."

The boy's father, who was accompanying him, quickly took out ten gold soul coins and put them into a box made of several wooden planks.

Extend a hand.

The young man extended his hand to the old man, who squeezed it twice, shook his head, and said, "Your age is not appropriate. You can leave now."

The boy paused for a moment, then turned to look at his father, clearly hoping his father would speak up for him.

His father quickly apologized with a smile, saying, "Teacher, my son just turned thirteen. Could you perhaps make an exception?"

The old man said impatiently, "Don't disturb the students behind you, get out of the way."

Seeing how fierce he was, the father had no choice but to try to get his registration fee back, but the old man refused.

"Mu Bai, someone wants a reward for your name. You should handle it!" the old man called out lazily.

A handsome young man jumped down from the tree. "If you want a refund for your name fee, beat me up, and I'll return it all."

As he spoke, three spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, rose up beneath his feet.

The appearance of the thousand-year soul ring made the father and son dare not cause any more trouble, and they had no choice but to run away in disgrace.

"This guy is probably only two or three years older than my brother Jian. Judging from the fluctuations of his soul power, he is around level thirty-seven. Of course, he is not as good as my brother Jian, but among the younger generation, he is probably one of the rarest talents." Ning Rongrong thought to herself.

If the members of the Royal Fighting Team hadn't consumed the immortal herbs, their aptitude would probably be inferior to Dai Mubai's.

Seeing the troublemakers leave, the old man, wanting to save time, stood up and shouted, "This place is called Shrek Academy. Shrek means monster. Our academy's motto is to only accept monsters, not ordinary people. Anyone over twelve years old or whose soul power is below level twenty-one should not waste any more time!"

Then, the old man's aura exploded, and a long staff appeared in his hand. Six spirit rings rose up, one white, one yellow, three purple, and one black. Ning Rongrong immediately realized that her guess was too conservative. This old man was not a spirit king at all, but a spirit emperor.

"Interesting!" Ning Rongrong revealed a mischievous smile, stepped forward, paid the registration fee, and extended a hand.

The old man peered in slightly and revealed a surprised expression.

"Excuse me, have I passed the preliminary test?" Ning Rongrong asked with a sweet smile.
