Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

Her appearance immediately attracted the attention of Dai Mubai, the lecherous tiger. Seeing Dai Mubai's lecherous look, the girl who was originally at the back of the line frowned and couldn't help but clench her fists.

"Do your family know you're here?" the old man asked, his surprise fading.

"They say education should be accessible to all, so as long as I meet the academy's requirements, you have no reason not to accept me, right?" Ning Rongrong didn't answer directly, but instead asked a question in return.

This made the old man smile with relief. He was right. They were just an academy, not a sect. How could they not accept qualified students? So he instructed Dai Mubai to take Ning Rongrong aside.

Soon, it was the turn of the couple that Ning Rongrong had noticed earlier; they were none other than Tang San and Xiao Wu, the male and female protagonists of the original novel.

After testing and confirming that their ages were within acceptable limits, the two released their martial souls: Blue Silver Grass and Soft Bone Rabbit.

Neither of these two martial souls were particularly powerful, yet their cultivation speed was so fast that it truly surprised the old man. But wasn't this exactly in line with the standards of their Monster Academy?

If he was surprised, then the other person hiding in the shadows was horrified. Yin Yang stared at Xiao Wu in disbelief. He hadn't noticed her before, but the moment she released her martial soul, her aura was unmistakable.

"This little girl is actually a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form. Originally, she was just protecting the little princess, but unexpectedly, she has gained such a reward." Yin Yang was so excited that he wanted to take action immediately.

A transformed 100,000-year-old soul beast not only represents a 100,000-year-old soul ring, but also a 100,000-year-old soul bone.

Ning Fengzhi is now over level 80. If he absorbs the Soft Bone Rabbit with his ninth soul ring, he will definitely obtain a very powerful ninth soul skill. Alternatively, he can leave it for Xiao Tian in the future. In either case, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will definitely increase in strength.

But just as he was about to make his move, an even more terrifying aura locked onto him, so much so that even Yin Yang, a titled Douluo, dared not move.

"Who is it?" Yin Yang looked around but didn't see anyone, which showed that the newcomer's strength was terrifying, far surpassing his own.

"It seems that other powerful individuals have their eyes on this Soft Bone Rabbit, but it's a 100,000-year-old soul beast, and we can't let it go easily no matter what." Seeing that Ning Rongrong had already entered Shrek Academy, and that she wouldn't encounter any danger for the time being, Yin Yang decided to leave to find reinforcements. If he couldn't defeat it himself, he would ask Chen Xin for help.

A 100,000-year-old soul beast is the number one dream beast on the Soul Master's Dream List, and he's determined to have it!

Chapter 89 Tang Hao Appears and Threatens

Yin Yang left Shrek Academy and headed back towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Just as he left Soto City and entered a forest, he suddenly realized that he was being locked onto by that aura again. The person had been following him all along without him even noticing.

"Who is this senior? Please show yourself!" Yin Yang shouted to the surroundings. He guessed that the person who could suppress him to this extent must be a titled Douluo who had been famous for many years, at least at the same level as Yu Yuanzhen.

"I dare not accept such praise. I should be the one addressing you as 'senior.'" A man in black robes appeared on the treetop at some unknown time.

Thanks to Yin Yang's eagle-type martial soul and sharp eyes, he was able to see the man's appearance clearly. He was a man in his fifties, and his appearance made Yin Yang's pupils shrink. "You are, Haotian Douluo Tang Hao!"

Unexpectedly, Tang Hao, who had been missing for more than ten years, suddenly appeared in front of him at this moment.

"Yin Yang, it's been almost twenty years since we last met. Congratulations on breaking through your limits and entering the realm of Title Douluo." Tang Hao's voice was very deep, completely different from the one Yin Yang had met back then.

Tang Hao was so spirited and domineering back then, but now he looks so weathered.

"Such flattery coming from the mouth of the youngest Title Douluo on the continent feels like an insult," Yin Yang said with a wry smile. Although he had successfully become a Title Douluo, he found that he still couldn't see through Tang Hao at all. Tang Hao's strength was conservatively estimated to be above level ninety-five.

"You didn't show up today just to congratulate me, did you? Is it for that 100,000-year-old soul beast?"

Yin Yang guessed it: since Tang Hao was also at Shrek Academy, Tang Hao couldn't possibly be unaware of what he had discovered.

Tang Hao nodded. "That's right. I know you definitely want to go back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to tell Ning Fengzhi about this, but I hope you'll do me a favor today and keep this a secret. I promise you'll be richly rewarded later!"

"Why should I, Tang Hao? As a Title Douluo, you must know what a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form represents, right? It's a 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul bone that can be obtained with ease. As long as a suitable level 90 soul master absorbs it, it can instantly create a powerful being for the sect that far surpasses an ordinary Title Douluo." Yin Yang had no intention of giving him face. What right did Tang Hao, a guy who had been expelled from the Clear Sky Sect, have to order him around?

"So you're not going to agree? In that case, let's settle this with our skills!" Tang Hao suddenly raised his head, his whole body radiating a strong killing intent. He was one of the killing gods of the Slaughter City, and at this moment, his killing intent was completely locked onto Yin Yang.

Yin Yang dared not be careless and immediately activated his martial spirit, with nine spirit rings appearing: two yellow, two purple, and five black.

Seeing this, Tang Hao smiled disdainfully. With the Clear Sky Hammer in hand, nine spirit rings also appeared, but his spirit rings were two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red.

Who would have thought that two contemporary titled Douluo would be facing off on the outskirts of a small city like Soto?

"Red, a 100,000-year spirit ring!" Yin Yang was suddenly shocked. Tang Hao's level was more than four levels higher than his. In the Title Douluo domain, the difference between each level was enormous. He originally had little confidence in facing Tang Hao, and he never expected that Tang Hao would actually be a Title Douluo with a 100,000-year spirit ring. He was afraid that if they really fought, he wouldn't be able to withstand two blows from Tang Hao.

"Yin Yang, what I just said still stands. As long as you swear by your martial soul today that you will not reveal the fact that you are a 100,000-year-old soul beast, I can spare your life. Otherwise, you will die on the spot." Tang Hao tried to be polite first, after all, he had no grudge against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and now the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was too powerful. If it was not necessary, he really did not want to provoke this great enemy.

The Spirit Hall was already difficult to deal with, and with the addition of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he truly had no hope. However, he absolutely could not allow his own experience with Ah Yin to be repeated with Tang San and Xiao Wu.

Yin Yang was still thinking. He still didn't want to let go of this 100,000-year-old soul beast. Although he knew he was no match for Tang Hao, he was an agility-type attacker, while Tang Hao was a power-type attacker. If he didn't fight to the death but instead focused on escaping, Tang Hao might not be able to catch up with him.

Seemingly sensing Yin Yang's thoughts, Tang Hao flashed a red light, and a domain spread out, instantly enveloping Yin Yang. "I advise you not to think about escaping. This is my Killing God Domain. Without a domain, you are simply unable to resist. Your speed will be greatly weakened under my domain. Also, don't forget the direct lineage technique of my Haotian Sect. With just one hammer blow, I can completely kill you!"

Yin Yang broke out in a cold sweat. The killing intent of the God of Slaughter Domain was simply too terrifying. And how could he have forgotten the Haotian Sect's strongest secret technique, the Ring Explosion?

If Tang Hao were to destroy that 100,000-year-old soul ring at all costs, he might very well have instantly killed him.

Yin Yang had finally cultivated to the level of a Title Douluo, so he naturally cherished his life. Moreover, if he died, not only would the news not be able to reach the sect, but the sect would also lose a Title Douluo, which would be a great loss.

"Alright, Tang Hao, I'll give you face today. I swear on my martial soul that only you and I know about this 100,000-year-old soul beast. If a third person finds out from me, I will immediately shatter my martial soul and die!" Yin Yang made his decision without hesitation.

Upon hearing Yin Yang swear an oath with his martial soul, Tang Hao withdrew his Killing God Domain and Clear Sky Hammer. If it weren't for the fact that it concerned his son, he would never have wanted to be enemies with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Even if he could kill Yin Yang today, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would definitely go to great lengths to investigate the truth. Since Yin Yang was here to protect Ning Rongrong, they would inevitably go to Shrek Academy to investigate clues.

When he sees Xiao Wu and recognizes her, will he continue to kill her? Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo are not as easy to deal with as Yin Yang. Even he isn't confident he can capture them. He will then face the relentless pursuit of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Thank you, Mr. Yin Yang. Actually, my Haotian Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect belong to the three upper sects and are of the same lineage. We should not be enemies. Today, we are truly forced to do so," Tang Hao sighed.

"Hmph, a 100,000-year-old soul beast, no one would let it go if they saw it, I can understand that." Yin Yang snorted coldly. Although he was very unhappy, he had already made a vow, so he could only admit defeat today. It seemed that this 100,000-year-old soul beast could only belong to the Haotian Sect.

If I had known this would happen, I should have brought Sword Douluo with me that day. If he were here, what would it matter if Tang Hao had a 100,000-year soul ring? Chen Xin is now a level 98 Title Douluo, and the difference in level is enough to make up for the lack of soul rings.

Moreover, the Seven Kill Sword Technique and the Seven Kill Domain are in no way weaker than Tang Hao's Clear Sky Sect's ultimate techniques and the Killing God Domain.

Chapter 90 Tang Hao's Feud with the Spirit Hall

Tang Hao looked at Yin Yang's displeased expression and said, "You seem to think that I kept Xiao Wu here for her soul ring and soul bone?"

"Isn't that right?" Yin Yang retorted. What other reason could there be besides this?

"Yin Yang, would you like to hear my story?" Tang Hao suddenly lowered his voice, as if lost in memories. Since Yin Yang had already made a vow, he had nothing left to hide.

“Sure, we’re free anyway, let’s talk as we walk.” Yin Yang walked back towards Shrek Academy. He had already sworn not to notify the sect, so there was no point in going back. He might as well stay here and continue protecting Ning Rongrong.

Tang Hao nodded and walked side by side with Yin Yang. Along the way, he told Yin Yang all about his grudges with the Spirit Hall.

This includes the fact that his wife was a 100,000-year-old soul beast and that she sacrificed herself for him.

However, Yin Yang did not show any surprise after hearing this, which puzzled Tang Hao. "After entering the Title Douluo realm, has your temperament become so much stronger? Such a thing cannot move you in the slightest."

Yin Yang shook his head. "No, that's not it. Of course I was surprised, but I had been surprised before. I didn't expect that the sect leader's prediction was completely correct."

Having become a Title Douluo, Yin Yang was considered to be among the highest-ranking members of the sect. In addition, he had been diligent and conscientious in serving the sect for decades. Therefore, Ning Fengzhi had no more secrets from him. He already knew about Ning Fengzhi's speculations about Tang Hao's grudges with the Spirit Hall and the matter of the Heavenly Scale Twin Spirits.

"Sect Master, you mean Ning Fengzhi? He actually figured out what happened just by guessing? No wonder he's known as the wisest sect master," Tang Hao said in surprise.

"Yes, the sect leader also speculated that Tang San, who was with Xiao Wu, is your son, and that he has twin martial souls, is that right?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Hao was even more shocked. He hadn't met Ning Fengzhi in over a decade, so how could Ning Fengzhi know so much about his affairs?

Seeing Tang Hao's expression, Yin Yang said smugly, "Tang Hao, in terms of strength, the sect leader may not be as good as you, but when it comes to wisdom, you are probably only a hundred thousand years behind our sect leader."

"I'm completely convinced." Tang Hao rarely admired anyone, but Ning Fengzhi was now second only to him in terms of wisdom, the former being a master. "So, Yin Yang, you should understand why I didn't touch Xiao Wu, right? I don't want Xiao San and Xiao Wu to follow in my and A Yin's footsteps."

Yin Yang nodded. "I understand, but even if I don't say anything, other Soul Douluos and Title Douluos will definitely not let it go if they see that girl. To be honest, I don't think the Spirit Hall was wrong about what happened back then. After all, it's the rule of this world for Soul Masters to hunt Soul Beasts, even if that Soul Beast is your wife."

"So you're saying I'm wrong!" Tang Hao suddenly clenched his fist. Ah Yin was his Achilles' heel, and he wouldn't tolerate anyone talking nonsense about her.

"You're not wrong either. As a husband, protecting your wife is only right and proper. In the end, there's no right or wrong in this matter between you and the Spirit Hall; it's just a matter of perspective!"

Yin Yang saw things very clearly. His words made Tang Hao relax his clenched fist. Tang Hao fell into deep thought. Over the years, how could he not have thought of this? But even if it was true, the Spirit Hall had killed his wife; he couldn't let it go unpunished.

At worst, when we attack the Spirit Hall in the future, it won't be from the standpoint of so-called justice to punish evil, but simply to avenge my wife.

In fact, these ideas of Yin Yang were originally said by Tian Lin. The thing that Tian Lin disliked the most in the original work was that it was fine for Tang San to target the Spirit Hall, but why did he have to put himself on a moral high ground? Why couldn't he just say that he was avenging his mother and Xiao Wu? Standing up for his family is not something shameful.

The Spirit Hall may be ambitious, but not everyone in it is evil. At least in recent years, Tianlin has discovered that Qian Renxue is genuinely kind to ordinary people.

In the name of Xue Qinghe, she often spoke up for the people. Under her governance, the lives of ordinary people in the Tiandou Empire improved visibly, while the power of the nobles was constantly being weakened.

The fact that people are now praising the wisdom of Prince Xue Qinghe is the best proof of it.

Even if Tianlin were to become her enemy in the future, he wouldn't say anything about punishing evil and promoting good. It's just that the Spirit Hall couldn't let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which refused to surrender, go, and he simply wanted to protect his own sect. It was just a matter of their positions.

Over the years, Tang Hao has actually figured this out, but it's unknown whether Tang San will be able to understand it in the future.

As the two were talking, they had already returned to Shrek Academy, where Tang San and the others had entered the fourth level.

The examiner for the fourth test is Fudo Myoo, Zhao Wuji, who seems to intend to personally test these children.

Seeing this, Yin Yang and Tang Hao clenched their fists. With a soul power of level 76, how dare they bully four children who were not even level 30? It was really shameless.

"Tang Hao, after these kids finish their tests, I'm planning to take Zhao Wuji to the nearby woods tonight. Are you interested in coming along?" Yin Yang asked with a dangerous smile.

"Since Your Majesty Lei Ying has extended an invitation, Tang Hao is deeply honored!" Tang Hao had the same thought.

Poor Zhao Wuji was unaware that he was about to experience twice the joy of the original story.

Zhao Wuji gave Tang San and the others the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to discuss their tactics.

Tang San and Xiao Wu introduced themselves first. Just like in the original story, they were both level 29.

The last hot-bodied girl was Zhu Zhuqing, a level 27 agility-attack type battle spirit master, who hadn't changed at all.

Only Ning Rongrong gave Tang San and the others a big shock when she introduced herself.

"Ning Rongrong, a level 29 support-type Soul Master, with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda as her Martial Soul!"

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, is that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda that's known as the strongest support-type weapon spirit across the entire continent? And you actually have level 29, just like me and Xiao San!" Xiao Wu exclaimed in surprise.

It is a well-known fact across the continent that support-type martial souls are more difficult to cultivate than battle-type martial souls, but Ning Rongrong's cultivation speed is a bit too fast, isn't it?

When Ning Rongrong first appeared in the original novel, she was at level 26, which is actually more in line with reality. However, although she has not yet taken the real elixir of immortality, Tianlin still often refines some ordinary pills to assist her cultivation.

In addition, she worked harder than in the original story, which is why she was able to reach such a high level. If she hadn't spent so much time cultivating and controlling her mind, she probably would have already broken through level 30 by now.

"You don't need to look at me like that. It's all because of my brother Jian's help. Let's get through this test first!" Ning Rongrong said shyly, feeling a little embarrassed by the stares of so many people.

Although everyone was very curious about who the "sword brother" Ning Rongrong was talking about was, now was not the time to get to the bottom of it. The most urgent thing was to figure out how to survive for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn in Zhao Wuji.

Chapter 91 Zhao Wuji's Test

"Let me first introduce Teacher Zhao's characteristics to you. Teacher Zhao possesses a powerful beast martial soul, the Mighty Vajra Bear, which is perfect in both offense and defense and has no weaknesses. Originally, speed was Teacher Zhao's weakness, but since there is a huge difference in your soul power, this weakness is no longer of any use," Dai Mubai introduced to the four of them.

"Fortunately, your martial soul combinations are pretty good. Quickly come up with a tactic, otherwise, let alone the burning of an incense stick, you probably won't even be able to withstand his first wave of attacks!"

To be honest, Dai Mubai didn't have high hopes for the four of them. Whether they could pass or not depended entirely on how much Zhao Wuji would let them off the hook.

Actually, there wasn't much for Tang San and the others to discuss. They just needed to do their jobs well in the four positions: offensive, agile, control, and support.

Soon, the four of them stood in front of Zhao Wuji, with Ning Rongrong taking the lead.

"Seven treasures spun out, revealing glazed tiles!" Rongrong's body spun gracefully once, releasing seven-colored light from within her, and a magnificent, gleaming pagoda appeared in her hand. "The seven treasures are named: first, strength; second, speed!"

Using distraction control, Ning Rongrong precisely amplified the three of them: Tang San and Xiao Wu's strength, and Zhu Zhuqing's speed. This method of amplification, which conserves soul power, maximizes her support effect.
