Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

"Buddha's Wrath: Tang Lotus, Rain of Pear Blossom Needles!" Tang San was taken aback; Tian Lin's appetite was truly enormous.

Items like the Silent Sleeve Arrow and the Zhuge Crossbow are merely basic concealed weapons. Even if they were given away, it wouldn't be a significant issue and wouldn't affect the Tang Clan's foundation. However, the Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus is different; those are true treasures that guard the sect's core.

Fortunately, Tianlin said he wanted the finished product, which means that the most important blueprints are still in Tang San's hands.

"Brother Jun, you don't know this, but the process of making the Buddha's Wrath Lotus is extremely complicated, and the materials required are also very precious. Given my current situation, I simply cannot make it," Tang San said truthfully.

"This is the direction of cooperation I was talking about, Tang San. Do you know why my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is known as the wealthiest sect?" Tianlin asked with a smile.

"Naturally, it's because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's world-renowned auxiliary abilities have attracted countless affiliated families to join, and everyone's joint development has led to your clan's economic prosperity." Tang San offered his compliment, and what he said was indeed an important factor.

However, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda actually has another secret. Tianlin shook his head and said, "Brother Tang, what you said is only the external factor. In addition to its strong auxiliary ability, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda also has an extremely outstanding treasure appraisal ability. Many precious ores cannot escape the appraisal of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda."

"For example, blue crystal ore, dragon bone, titanium metal, deep-sea sunken silver, etc., I think the sect has some stock in stock!"

"Is that really true?" Tang San's eyes lit up. What Tian Lin was talking about were precious materials for making top-grade hidden weapons. If he could really get these, along with his Clear Sky Hammer, he might be able to recreate the Tang Clan's strongest hidden weapon.

“Of course it is true. So, Brother Tang, sell me the blueprints for those basic hidden weapons, and we will make them ourselves. In return, you can focus on researching advanced hidden weapons, and we will provide the materials. The condition is that if you develop something like the Buddha's Wrath Lotus or the Rain of Pear Blossoms Needle, you must hand it over to our sect first.”

"This is a win-win situation for both of us. My sect's direct disciples can gain combat power through hidden weapons, while you can use my sect to develop your Tang Sect. You know, right? For a force to develop, it first needs people, and the prerequisite for having people is having money. Coincidentally, money is the least valuable thing to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

Tianlin's words, "Money is worthless," sounded arrogant, but it was undeniably true. Such cooperation would be immensely beneficial to both the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Tang Clan.

At this time, Tang San was unaware of his identity as a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect. He always thought that his father was a powerless and insignificant village blacksmith, so he had to rely on himself to develop the sect. Especially after learning from Tian Lin that he had not been expelled from the sect, his sense of responsibility towards the Tang Sect became even stronger.

Right now, what he needs most is money and precious metals, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has all of those things.

Tang San didn't hesitate any longer and immediately said, "Okay, no problem, Brother Jun. Give me one night and I will present the hidden weapon blueprints with both hands. But please promise that these blueprints must never be leaked to other sects, including your sect's affiliated families."

"Of course, I guarantee I will never tell anyone. It would be a pleasure to cooperate. Here is a card with one million gold soul coins, please accept it!" Tianlin took out a gold card without hesitation. He had asked Ning Fengzhi for it before he arrived.

Ning Fengzhi trusted Tianlin a lot and didn't ask him what it was for, simply stuffing it into his hand. But Tianlin didn't squander it; he was sure that what he bought would make Ning Fengzhi feel it was worth the money.

Tang San did not accept the gold card. After all, it was the right thing to do to exchange money for goods. He originally planned to take it when he delivered the blueprints the next day. However, the little rabbit next to him was quick-witted and snatched the gold card first.

Tang San was about to say something when Xiao Wu retorted, "What, brother, can't I manage your money?"

"Okay, okay, as long as you don't spend it recklessly!" Tang San said awkwardly.

"Haha, the two of you have quite a good 'brother-sister' relationship. Today's transaction went so smoothly, I'm in a good mood. Here's another gift for you." Tianlin took out two medicine bottles from his pocket and tossed them to the two of them.

"Tang San, yours is the Xuan Yuan Pill, a kind of pill that helps with cultivation. You can use it to help you break through level 30. Xiao Wu, yours is the Concealing Breath Pill. As the name suggests, after taking a Concealing Breath Pill, you can conceal your aura for a period of time. No matter how strong a person is, they cannot see through it. Even a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form can avoid detection by experts above the Soul Douluo level."

Tianlin said this half-jokingly. Tang San was grateful after hearing it. The Xuan Yuan Pill could help him break through to level 30, which was quite a good pill. But Xiao Wu was in a state of shock.

Why would this person say such a thing to me? Does he know that I am a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form? But I am only level 40-something, so it's impossible for him to see through me.

So it was just a coincidence? No, it must be a coincidence! Xiao Wu comforted herself in this way. After all, theoretically speaking, if Tian Lin had seen through her, he would not have let her go so easily and even gave her a life-saving pill like the Breath-Concealing Pill.

However, this coincidence proved to be a great help to her. After entering a higher-level Soul Master Academy, she was always worried that she would inevitably encounter high-level Soul Masters. With this Breath Concealing Pill, her safety was greatly improved.

"Thanks, you're so helpful. If you ever need anything, I'll protect you!" Xiao Wu patted Tian Lin on the shoulder, looking like a tough, rebellious older sister.

"Who's protecting whom?" Tianlin thought to himself. If he weren't temporarily uninterested in Xiaowu's soul rings and soul bones, he probably would have reminded his master and Ning Fengzhi to arrest her at the Notting Junior Academy back then.

Tang Hao, who had been expelled from the sect and was seriously injured, might at most make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School somewhat wary, but far from being afraid. The allure of a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone was far greater than this wariness.

Unbeknownst to the two, he had no good intentions in giving them the pills. The Xuan Yuan Pill was all show and no substance; though its appearance resembled a celestial elixir and emitted a faint fragrance, its actual medicinal properties were less than a tenth of a celestial pill. The increase in soul power was mixed and unstable. Moreover, according to the original story, Tang San was supposed to complete his breakthrough within these few days.

Taking this Xuan Yuan Pill now will do Tang San more harm than good. After all, level 30 is a watershed moment in the early stages of a Soul Master. If the foundation here is not solid, unless Tang San spends a lot of time sorting it out later, it will inevitably affect his later cultivation.

As for the Breath-Concealing Pill, it's an absolute trap. Soon, Tang San will lose one of his greatest opportunities because of this pill.

This was Tianlin's preparation to suppress Tang San's power. He could be strong, but not as strong as in the original story. As long as he could become a target to attract the Spirit Hall and help Tianlin share the firepower, that would be enough. Therefore, Tianlin had to destroy some of his opportunities. Otherwise, who knew if Tang San, who had fully grown up, would turn around and bite the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

Given Tang San's high regard for the Tang Clan, when he surpasses all others, he might not be able to tolerate other sects mastering the Tang Clan's hidden weapons. If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School does not submit to the Tang Clan, it may end up like in the original story, marginalized by the empire, or even facing annihilation.

Although Tianlin was confident that he could always be stronger than Tang San, he was too lazy to gamble. Wouldn't it be better to get rid of the threat sooner? If Tang San wasn't still useful to him and if he hadn't had any grudge against him, he would have killed him long ago.

As for the effects of the Breath-Concealing Pill, he could make the effects disappear at any time when he wanted Xiao Wu to be exposed.

"Hehe, then I'll take my leave now. See you tomorrow morning!" Tianlin chuckled to himself as he bid farewell to the two and returned to Shrek Academy.

At the gate, Ning Rongrong had been waiting for him to return. Now, Ning Rongrong only had eyes for him and had no interest in the petty things between Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing. Therefore, the argument between her and Dai Mubai that happened in the original story did not occur.

Dai Mubai was lucky in this respect; otherwise, Tianlin wouldn't care about his status as the Star Luo Prince. If he dared to bully Rongrong, the Demon Sword would have struck him down at any moment.

Tianlin did not bring Ning Rongrong into the academy, after all, it was too dilapidated inside. Since he was here, he certainly couldn't let Rongrong stay in such a place.

So the two of them went to the city and checked into a luxury hotel. Flander didn't care about such things, as long as Rongrong wasn't late for class the next day.

Chapter 105 Ning Rongrong Breaks Through Level 30

"Brother Jian, your real purpose in coming to Shrek Academy this time was for Tang San, right? You only came to see me on the side, right?" Back at the hotel, Ning Rongrong pouted. The clever girl had already figured out that Tianlin had paid more attention to Tang San than she had all day.

"Of course not. Ten Tang Sans wouldn't be as good as you in my heart. It's just that he's someone I can use." Tianlin didn't intend to hide anything from Ning Rongrong.

After recounting the details of the transaction, Ning Rongrong covered her mouth in surprise, "Really? This Tang San can really create something so powerful called 'hidden weapon,' which can greatly enhance the combat power of my sect's direct disciples."

Tianlin said seriously, "How could I lie to you, the future sect leader, about something so important? These hidden weapons are extremely valuable. As long as we have the blueprints, our sect can mass-produce them. Even the ordinary Zhuge Crossbow is enough to pose a threat to the Soul Sect. The top-grade hidden weapon, the Buddha's Wrath Lotus, can even instantly kill a large number of Soul Saints and above."

“No wonder you came all the way here to see him, Brother Jian. If that’s the case, then he is truly very valuable to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.” Ning Rongrong has grown a lot and is now gradually able to see things from the perspective of the sect leader. Naturally, she will not continue to be angry because Tian Lin ignored her today.

Therefore, Ning Rongrong has gradually begun to learn about various sect secrets, and Tianlin's twin martial souls are no longer kept from her. However, when Ning Rongrong first learned the truth, she was so angry that she ignored Tianlin and Ning Fengzhi for three days.

After all, the two of them, one big and one small, had teamed up to deceive her. The idea of ​​gemstone-type soul bones that could enhance cultivation was all made up. The real reason was actually twin martial souls.

Tianlin nodded to her, "That's right, so from now on, these will be the equipment for the sect's disciples. As for Rongrong, I have other plans for you."

"Don't I need these hidden weapons? Oh right, it's the talisman technique you told me about, right, Brother Sword?" Ning Rongrong said happily. Sure enough, she was special; Tianlin always favored her the most.

Tianlin smiled and patted her hair, not denying it. Yes, it was a talisman. The Shushan Sect had many powerful offensive talismans, far more powerful than hidden weapons. Unfortunately, Tianlin was facing two difficulties.

First, his skill level is not high enough to produce talismans in large quantities. Second, he does not understand the Five Elements Immortal Arts, so he is not yet able to make talismans such as the Wind and Fire Talisman that can set the sky ablaze, or the Fire and Earth Talisman that can cause stars to sink and the earth to shake.

These are all wide-range attack spells. Therefore, the hidden weapon that Tianlin really wanted was the Buddha's Wrath Lotus. As for the single-target attack Rain of Pear Blossom Needles, he had other methods to replace it.

That is the strongest single-target attack talisman of Shu Mountain, Demon Flame Flash Slash!

This spell, named after the act of slaying, is, as the name suggests, a talisman technique connected to the Shu Mountain Sword Technique. It was a killing move made by Xu Changqing, the 23rd generation leader of the Shu Mountain Sect, when he was young. Its power is astonishing. Even with Tian Lin's current skill level, if he can complete it, he can still kill a Title Douluo.

In recent years, Tianlin has devoted himself to studying this talisman, but unfortunately he has not yet succeeded.

However, after hundreds of trials over the past three years, Tianlin finally completed three more super-powerful auxiliary talismans. These are called the Star Shift Talisman, a long-distance teleportation talisman. As long as the coordinates are marked, the person using the Star Shift Talisman can instantly move to the coordinate point.

These three talismans are currently on Tianlin, Ning Rongrong, and Chenxin respectively. The coordinates on the talismans in Tianlin and Rongrong's hands are located within the sect, for use in escaping at any time, while the coordinates on the talisman in Chenxin's hands have been engraved on Tianlin's personal soul tool.

Tianlin can use this coordinate to call out to Chenxin in reverse, which means that he now has a level 98 Super Douluo as his bodyguard, which is why he dares to confront Tang San today.

If Tang San doesn't want to reveal his identity as a transmigrator and instead refuses to cooperate with him, he can simply kill Tang San in return. In any case, for Tian Lin, Tang San is nothing more than a tool to be used; he can use him if he wants, and kill him if he doesn't.

As for Chen Xin, it was naturally prepared to prevent Tang Hao from losing his temper. With Chen Xin's current strength, Tang Hao, who was covered in hidden injuries, could not possibly be his match.

Fortunately, Tang San was sensible. Whether it was out of fear of the power behind Tianlin or out of what he thought was fellow townsman affection, he managed to save his own life and Tang Hao's life.

After explaining everything, Ning Rongrong replaced sleep with meditation. Since Tianlin had rarely returned, she naturally wanted to cherish the amplification from the Holy Breath Barrier.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, the two awoke from their meditation. Ning Rongrong was overjoyed as she observed the soul power within her body; she had broken through!

"Brother Sword, I've reached level 30! Look!"

Seeing Ning Rongrong's excitement, Tianlin praised her, "Good! For a support-type Soul Master to reach level 30 before the age of twelve without consuming any immortal items, Rongrong, you are truly outstanding!"

Tianlin was also delighted for her. After all, level 30 was a watershed moment in the early stages of a Soul Master. Many Soul Masters were stuck at the Great Soul Master level for their entire lives. The sooner they broke through level 30, the further they could go in the future. Moreover, Rongrong's entry into the Soul Venerable realm meant that she could take the Heaven-Mending Pill, which was the greatest benefit.

The two returned to Shrek Academy, ready to explain the situation to everyone. At this time, everyone except Oscar was already standing in the square, waiting for Flander to come to class.

Upon seeing Tianlin, Tang San immediately approached him and handed him several blueprints. "Brother Jun, these are the blueprints for making hidden weapons that you requested. Please keep them safe."

"Thank you!" Tianlin took the blueprints, glanced at Tang San, and asked, "Brother Tang, you've also broken through to level 30?"

"Brother Jun's insight is indeed keen. I must thank you for the pill you sent last night. If it weren't for that Xuan Yuan Pill, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to succeed so smoothly." Tang San expressed his gratitude, and the others were filled with envy upon hearing his words.

"Brother Jun, your pills are so powerful! Do you have any extras? I can pay to buy them!" Dai Mubai said directly. He was still under a lot of pressure, and if he had such a precious pill to assist his cultivation, it might save his life in the future.

Yes, Dai Mubai has no intention of competing with his brother yet. All he thinks about is how to survive. If he can't survive, he'll enjoy the time he has left to eat, drink, and have fun.

Tianlin decisively refused, saying, "Even a pill that can help someone break through to level 30 is considered a top-grade pill in my sect. It's extremely difficult to refine. I only brought one with me this time. I'm sorry, Brother Dai!"

Dai Mubai was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this. Yes, such a precious pill must be a treasure of the sect. Tang San must have given the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School a great deal of benefit to obtain it. He was just delusional.

Although refining the Xuan Yuan Pill was quite troublesome, it wouldn't be difficult for Tian Lin to refine a few if he really wanted to. However, he had no reason to give the pill to Dai Mubai.

The reason is simple: Dai Mubai is neither one of their own nor of any use. Tianlin gave Tang San the pills because Tang San could be used; he had hidden weapons, a father who was the Haotian Douluo, and coincidentally, a deep-seated hatred for the Spirit Hall. He gave Ma Hongjun the pills because the chubby boy had already agreed to join the sect. As for Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, who had lost the immortal herb, it was still hard to say whether they could get past Davis and Zhu Zhuyun.

Tianlin didn't want to make such a completely useless investment. Besides, what could Dai Mubai give Tianlin? Money? Sorry, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had no shortage of money.

Not long after, Flander slowly walked out. When he saw Ning Rongrong and Tang San, his eyes lit up. With his Soul Saint cultivation, how could he not see that the two of them had reached level 30?

This is truly a pleasant surprise; a level 30 student at the age of twelve is a rare find across the entire continent.

Tang Hao and Yin Yang were just as happy as he was.

"How about it, Tang Hao? Isn't our little princess amazing? Have you ever seen such a young support-type Soul Master before?" Yin Yang grinned.

Tang Hao shook his head. "Indeed, I've never seen anyone so outstanding. Even Ning Fengzhi in his youth was far inferior. But my third son isn't bad either. Didn't you see that he's also broken through to level 30?"

"Hmph, Tang San is a battle spirit master, how can that be the same as a support-type spirit master?" Yin Yang retorted, but what he said did make sense.

If a battle spirit master and a support spirit master have the same cultivation efficiency, then it can be assumed that the support spirit master's aptitude is superior to that of the battle spirit master.

Tang Hao was speechless. Who would have thought that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School not only produced such a freak as Tian Lin, but also that Ning Rongrong, the successor to the sect leader, was so outstanding.

Chapter 106 I will not offend others unless they offend me.

Of the seven Shrek Academy students, six had already arrived, leaving only Oscar.

After a long while, he finally arrived late. Flander was about to reprimand him, but then he received the news that Oscar had also broken through to level 30, which made him beam with joy.

In a single day, all three students broke through to level 30; it was truly a blessing from the heavens for Shrek Academy.

Flander immediately decided that after class today, he would have Zhao Wuji lead everyone to hunt soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.

In the shadows, Tang Hao said to Yin Yang, "Brother Yin Yang, I have a favor to ask of you. I know that Ning Rongrong is going to hunt soul beasts and you will definitely accompany her to protect her. Could you also please protect my son for a bit?"

"Hmm? From what you're saying, you're planning to leave?" Yin Yang asked.

Tang Hao nodded, "Yes, I still have some things to do, so I'll leave this to you. With a Title Douluo like you here, I can rest assured."

"I'm not that free. Don't forget about that 100,000-year-old soul beast. Do you think I'd help you?" Yin Yang harbored resentment towards Tang Hao, so how could he possibly agree to help him?

Tang Hao had anticipated this, saying, "I won't ask you to help for nothing; this is protection money."

After saying that, Tang Hao flipped his hand and produced a set of jet-black armor from who-knows-where.

"Is this... Black Heaven Armor?" Yin Yang recognized the armor. This armor was a soft armor. Tang Hao in the past was one of the three great craftsmen of Douluo Continent. The Black Heaven Armor was his masterpiece when he was young.

This armor not only boasts extremely high defensive capabilities, enough to withstand several attacks from a typical Soul Emperor, but it's also made of a very special metal with excellent ductility. It can be worn by anyone, regardless of body type, making it a superior piece. While not incredibly valuable, it's more than enough as protection money for a few days.
