Having solved Oscar's soul ring problem, they now need to find one suitable for Ning Rongrong and Tang San.
There's no need to worry about these two, because Tianlin had already made arrangements. Not long after they left, they encountered a dying Heavenly Spirit Tiger, which was around 1,600 years old.
The Heavenly Spirit Tiger is a very special tiger-type soul beast. It does not have the same strong offensive and defensive capabilities as regular tiger-type soul beasts, but its characteristic is that its soul power is extremely abundant, far exceeding that of other soul beasts of the same age.
Therefore, after hunting it down, Ning Rongrong is very likely to obtain a skill that amplifies her soul power, which is exactly what she wants.
Zhao Wuji couldn't help but sigh that Ning Rongrong was truly God's favorite granddaughter. Her luck was just too good. She could encounter soul beasts with the perfect age and attributes just by walking around, and they were even on the verge of death. It was as if the soul rings were delivered to her door.
This was certainly not luck; it was something Tianlin had asked Yin Yang to capture beforehand. In fact, Tang San had also prepared one, but it was very ordinary and couldn't be taken out now, otherwise they would have to leave the Star Dou Great Forest immediately. Tianlin had another plan to complete here.
It was already late, so the group set up camp and rested at the spot where Ning Rongrong had absorbed her soul ring. Tianlin sat beside Rongrong, protecting her every step of the way.
While the others meditated or rested, only Zhao Wuji kept watch, and the night passed quite peacefully.
That's right, the plot has changed here. The Titan Ape, the king of the forest, has not appeared; it is still obediently staying in the Lake of Life.
This was all because of the Concealing Breath Pill that Tianlin gave Xiaowu; her aura was completely concealed. The Titan Giant Ape didn't sense Xiaowu, so how could she have left the Lake of Life so inexplicably?
Ning Rongrong absorbed her soul ring after more than an hour and gained her third soul skill, which amplified her soul power. Tian Lin felt sorry for her because she had used up a lot of mental energy, so he didn't let her continue meditating that night. He held her in his arms and coaxed her to sleep, then waited for Yin Yang's news.
As night fell, the shift changed to Dai Mubai. Suddenly, a voice, transmitted through telepathy, reached Tianlin's ears, "Xiaotian, Meng Yiran has started absorbing the soul ring of the Human-Faced Demon Spider. Come over quickly."
Tianlin opened his eyes and smiled. The process was exactly as he had imagined.
Without the Titan Giant Ape appearing, Tang San wouldn't have desperately chased Xiao Wu into the depths of the forest after she was captured, then encountered the Human-Faced Demon Spider being chased by the Dragon Duke, and then killed it to steal Meng Yiran's soul ring.
A mere thousand-year-old soul beast, being hunted by a Soul Douluo, had no chance of escape; death was only a matter of time. Without Tang San causing trouble, this soul beast would be hers.
Tianlin glanced pitifully at Tang San, who was deep in thought, and thought to himself, "Sorry, Tang San, your Eight Spider Lances are gone."
Having read the original novel, he naturally knew the importance of the Eight Spider Lances to Tang San. This external soul bone not only greatly enhanced Tang San's attributes in all aspects, but also allowed Tang San to adapt to various terrains and fight, possessing powerful attack power and terrifying poison.
Most importantly, the Eight Spider Lances also served as a medium to connect Tang San's other soul bones, allowing the soul bone armor, which could only be produced by the same soul beast, to be realized on Tang San, thus drastically increasing his strength and eventually growing into a divine artifact.
Such a powerful external soul bone, since it doesn't belong to Tianlin, is better off not appearing.
Tianlin gently laid Ning Rongrong down and said softly, "Rest well, Rongrong. Brother Jian will be back soon."
After saying that, Tianlin walked out of the tent, and in a flash, he disappeared from the spot. With Dai Mubai's limited strength, he couldn't even detect Tianlin's departure.
Tianlin quickly found Yin Yang, who had been waiting for a long time, and said, "Grandpa Eagle, please take me to the Dragon God and Snake Goddess."
"Alright, I need to speed things up. That little girl probably won't last long." Yin Yang picked up Tian Lin and unleashed the speed of a speed-type Title Douluo, transforming into a bolt of lightning as he rushed off in one direction.
In the forest, the Dragon Lord and Snake Lady were so anxious they were practically jumping up and down. They had finally managed to capture the Human-Faced Demon Spider, but who would have thought it was actually a soul beast over two thousand years old?
Meng Yiran was just an ordinary girl who hadn't undergone the tempering of immortal medicine. She couldn't withstand such a super-limited soul ring at all. At this moment, her expression was extremely ferocious, and she was in excruciating pain all over her body. Obviously, she was about to explode and die.
"Yiran, you must hold on. It's all my fault for not discovering the true cultivation level of this human-faced demon spider." Long Gong was extremely remorseful. He, a dignified Soul Douluo, hadn't even been able to distinguish the age of a soul beast. Now he had harmed his granddaughter.
Actually, you can't entirely blame him. Apart from someone as bored as the Grandmaster, who would remember the lifespan of a soul beast to single digits? Everyone only remembers a rough range, and sometimes an error of about a hundred years is inevitable.
Chapter 114 Tianlin's Scheme Traps Tang San into Recruiting the Dragon Lord
When Tianlin and Yinyang approached, they did not hide themselves, but walked over openly. With the hearing of the Dragon Lord, who was at the Soul Douluo level, they had already heard the footsteps.
He pointed the dragon staff into the dark depths of the forest and shouted, "Who's lurking around like that? Come out here!"
"I am Tianlin, and I pay my respects to Senior Gaishi Longshe." Tianlin stepped out of the shadows and greeted the two.
“It’s you, Sword Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.” Snake Granny had just met Tianlin today and immediately recognized him. The difference was that there was a man beside him whom she hadn’t seen during the day.
The couple recognized the man; he was none other than Yin Yang, the Third Elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Thunder Eagle Douluo.
Yin Yang greeted them, saying, "You two are a perfect couple, it's been a long time. How have you been?"
"So it is Your Highness Lei Ying. Lord Long greets you." Lord Long paid his respects to Yin Yang. Compared to a Title Douluo, his status as a Soul Douluo was nothing. "Your Highness Lei Ying, it is a rare opportunity to meet you. I should have a good chat with you, but unfortunately my granddaughter is in critical condition. Please forgive me for being unable to leave."
"Is Miss Meng absorbing a soul ring?" Tianlin pretended to examine the corpse of the human-faced demon spider, then suddenly turned back anxiously and said, "Grandpa Eagle, this is bad! Look at the length of this human-faced demon spider's legs, they're over two meters long! This is a human-faced demon spider that's about two thousand years old!"
"Really! Oh dear, Brother Meng, how could you be so careless? How could a third spirit ring absorb such a high-age spirit ring? Your granddaughter isn't a beast spirit spirit master; her physical strength probably can't withstand it." Yin Yang joined Tian Lin in the play, loudly blaming him.
"Grandpa, it still hurts so much, I really can't take it anymore."
At this moment, Meng Yiran's painful voice came. She was on the verge of her limit. At this moment, she could only ask her grandfather, whom she respected the most and who gave her the most sense of security, for help.
Even the Dragon Lord was helpless in this situation, and the Snake Granny was filled with tears. Meng Yiran was her only granddaughter. Her son with the Dragon Lord had died young, and all her love had been given to this granddaughter. If Meng Yiran died here today, what use would it be if she and the Dragon Lord were strong? There would be no meaning to living.
"Yiran, I'm sorry, Grandpa can't save you today. Since that's the case, even in the underworld, Grandpa will continue to protect you." With that, the Dragon King actually raised his dragon staff and struck it towards his own head.
Was he trying to get ahead of his granddaughter and pave the way to the underworld? As a grandfather, you can feel his love for his granddaughter to go to such lengths.
"Brother Meng, what are you doing? My niece is not dead yet. I have a way to save her. If you leave first, who will protect her in the future? And what about Snake Granny?" Yin Yang quickly stopped the Dragon Duke's dragon staff and comforted him.
"What? Your Majesty, you have a way?" Upon hearing this, the Dragon King's eyes lit up with hope. If one could live, who would want to die?
“There is a solution, but…” Yin Yang hesitated.
This made Long Gong anxious. "But what? Please tell me quickly. As long as you can save my granddaughter, I will do anything you ask. I am, after all, an 88th-level Soul Douluo. Although I am not as good as your sect's four Title Douluos, I can still do some things."
"This isn't just about doing some things; it involves the biggest secret of my sect. The sect leader has given a strict order that no one, except our four guardian Douluo, can be informed," Yin Yang said with difficulty.
"Human life is at stake, Your Majesty. Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. At worst, I will make my family an affiliated family of your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. The power of my and Tianxiang's Martial Soul Fusion Skill is enough to rival that of an ordinary Title Douluo. As long as you can save my granddaughter, I will sell the rest of my life to your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. What's wrong with that?"
As the patriarch of the Dragon-Snake Clan, how could Lord Long not see that Yin Yang was deliberately trying to harm him? He first claimed he could save the snake, but then claimed that he had to keep it a secret due to the rules of the sect. His purpose was to benefit Lord Long himself.
But this was a blatant conspiracy. So what if Lord Long could see through it? At this moment, he didn't care about anything else; he only wanted to save his granddaughter.
Hearing this, Yin Yang was overjoyed; their plan had succeeded. However, his expression remained extremely conflicted. Finally, he reluctantly said, "Alright, Brother Meng, considering that we've known each other for a while, I'll make an exception for you today."
"Xiao Tian, now that Brother Long has agreed to join our sect, you should hurry up and save the people!"
As Yin Yang called out, both the Dragon Lord and the Snake Lady looked at Tian Lin. Only then did they realize that it was not Yin Yang who could save people, but this Sword Lord.
"Yes, Elder!" As if receiving a command, Tianlin walked to Meng Yiran's side and sat down. His second martial soul, the Holy Spirit Pearl, appeared, and the Holy Breath Barrier opened.
Meng Yiran received treatment from the barrier, and her expression visibly relaxed.
"This is... Twin Martial Souls!" Dragon Lord and Snake Lady were shocked. No wonder Yin Yang kept it a secret. This matter could not be easily leaked, otherwise it would inevitably arouse the fear and even pursuit of other sects.
What's even more terrifying is that Tianlin's second spirit can actually interfere with other people's spirit ring absorption, which has already broken the rules of Douluo Continent.
"Alas, I'm afraid I'll be punished by the sect leader when I get back this time." Yin Yang sighed heavily, looking quite helpless.
Long Gong hurriedly said, "Your Majesty's great kindness is beyond my ability to repay. Once Yi Ran has finished absorbing the soul ring, I am willing to accompany Your Majesty to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to explain this matter to Sect Master Ning. I will never go back on my promise to join your sect."
Upon hearing this, Yin Yang said with delight, "That would be perfect. Although I leaked the sect's secrets, I brought back a Soul Douluo. I think the sect leader won't punish me too much; at most, he'll just put me in solitary confinement for a while."
Tianlin, standing to the side, looked at Yin Yang with admiration. No wonder he came from the same village as Yin Yang; his acting skills were no worse than many stars in his previous life.
Long Gong has immense potential, much like Yin Yang back then. Tian Lin is confident that with the help of his medicine hall, he can make Long Gong another titled Douluo within five to seven years. As for Snake Granny, although she has no hope of becoming a titled Douluo, breaking through to Soul Saint is definitely not a problem.
Their current Martial Soul Fusion Skill is enough to rival that of an ordinary Title Douluo. Once Dragon Duke is granted a title and Snake Granny obtains her Martial Soul True Form, their Dragon-Snake Combination Attack will be so powerful that only those with a level 95 or higher can withstand it.
Therefore, Tianlin began his scheme as soon as he arrived at Shrek Academy. He tricked Tang San and gained such a huge fighting force for the sect. In addition, if Oscar could join the Dragon and Snake Clan, then the future God of Food would still belong to their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Half an hour later, with the help of the Heavenly Scale Sacred Breath Barrier, Meng Yiran finally succeeded in obtaining the two-thousand-year soul ring. However, she did not obtain the external soul bone Eight Spider Lances like Tang San, after all, she did not have the protagonist's luck.
Meng Yiran, who had successfully advanced, showed no joy. Instead, she threw herself into her grandfather's arms and burst into tears. Today had truly terrified her; she had almost said goodbye to this world.
Chapter 115 The Peerless Dragon and Snake Enter the Sect: A Gift for Tang San
"Yiran, it's all Grandpa's fault, I almost got you into trouble." Long Gong stroked Meng Yiran's hair to comfort her. "Come, thank your two saviors, His Majesty Lei Ying and young friend Jian Jun."
"Your Majesty!" Meng Yiran exclaimed. This title was reserved for Title Douluo. Even her grandfather was only addressed as "Sir" at most. The seemingly unremarkable middle-aged man in front of her was actually a Title Douluo.
Although she was usually a little willful because of her grandfather's doting, she dared not be presumptuous in front of a Title Douluo. She immediately bowed obediently and said, "Thank you again, Your Majesty, and thank you for saving my life, Sword Lord."
"Well, my dear niece, there's no need for such formalities. You successfully absorbed a soul ring today, so your future achievements are sure to be remarkable. If you join my sect in the future, you may receive great guidance and training," Yin Yang said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Meng Yiran looked at her grandfather with some confusion. She had just finished absorbing the soul ring and had no idea what they were talking about.
Long Gong explained, "Yiran, to thank these two for saving your life, I have decided to lead the Dragon-Snake Clan to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and become one of its affiliated families. From now on, you and this Sword Lord will be fellow disciples, so you should get along well."
Long Gong had taken a liking to Tian Lin. He had no intention of backing down, but since he had joined the sect, he naturally had to work hard to secure a better position for his family within the sect. As the only direct disciple of Sword Douluo, and with extraordinary talent and twin martial souls, Tian Lin had unlimited potential. In terms of both status and strength, he was a perfect match for his granddaughter.
Regarding Long Gong's inappropriate matchmaking, Tianlin smiled and said, "Of course. Sister Meng is a few years older than me, so it's only natural that she calls me 'brother.' I think my Rongrong will also welcome this beautiful sister very much."
After hearing Tianlin's polite refusal, Long Gong felt a little embarrassed. It turned out that Jianjun already had a lover in his heart. He had indeed spoken too rashly just now. Before he could feel disappointed, the Snake Woman whispered something in his ear, which immediately made his eyes light up.
Unexpectedly, besides Tianlin, they also encountered such an outstanding food-type soul master. If they could bring that food-type soul master with the potential to become a titled Douluo into his family, their status in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would still be quite good. After all, a titled Douluo of the food type has never appeared on the continent before.
No one dares to imagine just how significant a food-type Title Douluo would be in a war.
As dawn broke, fearing that Rongrong and the others would worry, Tianlin, Yin Yang, and Long Gong returned to the camp. As expected, the others were anxiously searching for him everywhere.
Upon seeing Tianlin arrive, Ning Rongrong happily rushed into his arms, "Brother Jian, where have you been? I was so worried about you."
Long Gong finally met Ning Rongrong, who was indeed even more beautiful than his granddaughter. No wonder she could capture the heart of someone like Jian Jun.
"Rongrong, why do you only have eyes for your brother Jian? Don't you even glance at Grandpa Ying?" Yin Yang was a little jealous. He also treated Ning Rongrong like his own granddaughter.
"Grandpa Eagle, what are you doing here?" Ning Rongrong only noticed Yin Yang's presence at this moment.
“I’ve always been here, never far away. Otherwise, do you think your father and your grandfather with those sword bones would feel at ease if you slipped out of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School on your own without my secret protection?” Yin Yang said irritably.
"It's all Rongrong's fault for making Father and Grandpas worry. I'll be good from now on and always listen to you." Ning Rongrong said cutely to Yin Yang. Seeing her like this, Yin Yang instantly broke down. He really couldn't be angry with Ning Rongrong at all.
"Greetings, Your Majesty Lei Ying." Zhao Wuji led the others forward to pay their respects. Yin Yang showed no interest in them, merely giving a perfunctory "hmm."
"Sorry, Rongrong, I had some things to take care of last night." After apologizing, Tianlin pulled Ning Rongrong over and introduced her, "Rongrong, you already know Senior Snake Granny, and this is the famous Senior Dragon Duke, a level 88 Soul Douluo. He agreed to join my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School yesterday."
"Really?" Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment. Her sword brother had only been gone for one night, yet he had already brought back such a powerful fighting force for the sect.
"It's true, Young Sect Master. From now on, I am a member of your sect," Long Gong confirmed. He accepted it quite quickly and was very sensible, already calling Rongrong Young Sect Master.
"Senior, you are too kind. Welcome to our sect. I will need your guidance in the future." Ning Rongrong lifted her skirt and gave a noble bow. Under the tutelage of Ning Fengzhi and Tianlin over the years, she had already developed some of the demeanor of a young sect leader.
Zhao Wuji and the others were secretly astonished at this scene. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had become stronger again. With the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny joining forces, they were strong enough to fight against a Title Douluo of average strength. With the addition of the other four, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could be said to have five Title Douluo-level combatants.
With such combat power, even the Spirit Hall would have to take them seriously.
At this moment, the group had different thoughts. If Zhao Wuji was surprised, then Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were completely wary. After all, they were members of the Star Dou Royal Family, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which supported the Heaven Dou Empire, could even be considered their enemy. However, upon further reflection, they didn't know if they could survive against their own people. Even if they were worried, it should be Davis and Zhu Zhuyun who were concerned.
Compared to them, Ma Hongjun was overjoyed. He had indeed joined a major sect and was becoming stronger and stronger. In the future, he would be able to roam the continent with impunity, using the title of a sect disciple.
In the end, Tang San and Xiao Wu had no particular thoughts, because it was none of their business. Xiao Wu was just a spirit beast, so there was nothing to say about her. Tang San, on the other hand, was still unaware of his identity as the successor of Haotian, and the Tang Sect had not yet been established. No matter how strong the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was, it had little to do with him.
However, at this moment, Tianlin looked at Tang San and said, "By the way, Brother Tang, I prepared a gift for you when I came back. Come and see it."
"A gift?" Tang San walked over curiously, cupped his fists and said, "Brother Jun, the Xuan Tian Pill you gave me last time was already a great help to me. How could I accept another gift from you?"
"It's nothing, this thing is useless to me, but it's perfect for you right now." After saying that, Tianlin took out a plant from his soul tool, which seemed to be shaking.
This is actually a plant-type spirit beast, covered in poisonous thorns. Yin Yang had prepared it a few days ago. Tian Lin had repeatedly warned Tang San not to seek out spider-type spirit beasts to ensure Tang San wouldn't obtain the Eight Spider Lances.
Therefore, Yin Yang found this poisonous thorn, which was only about 1,100 to 1,200 years old, which greatly satisfied Tian Lin.
