Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

"Great! The most dangerous time has passed, and he is now receiving the energy of the soul ring!" Chen Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief, because his carelessness almost killed their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's peerless talent.

"Success!" Finally, Tianlin opened his eyes. He felt that his strength had increased several times over, especially in terms of soul power, which was now definitely more than level eleven.

"It's finally finished. I'm so sorry, Tianlin. Because of my carelessness, you almost exploded and died," Chenxin said apologetically.

Tianlin smiled and shook his head, "It's alright, teacher. Who would have thought that this sharp shuttle was so old? But it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, which is why I was able to obtain such a good soul ring."

Chapter 9 First Soul Skill: Frost Condensation

"The spirit ring is good, but don't get too excited yet. Sit down, and I'll teach you the method of guiding qi back to its origin," Chen Xin said seriously.

"The spirit ring you just encountered was too violent, and its spirit power has impacted your internal organs. If it is not treated properly, it may leave you with hidden injuries."

"Yes, teacher!" Tianlin sat down cross-legged as Chenxin instructed.

Chen Xin slowly began, "Concentrate your mind and spirit, guard your martial soul, guide your qi back to its origin, focus your intention on your dantian, and circulate your qi through the Ren and Du meridians..."

Following Chen Xin's incantation, Tian Lin began to regulate the soul power within his body. About an hour later, he felt that all the meridians in his body were nourished by the soul power, and he felt indescribably comfortable.

Moreover, his refined soul power became even more effortless and fluid in his use.

"Remember this mantra and practice it often in the future. It might slightly affect your cultivation progress, but it will benefit you more. Soul power isn't just about having more; it's also about having more purity. Among soul masters of the same level, without considering differences in martial souls, soul rings, and soul bones, the one with purer soul power can completely suppress the other. Moreover, pure soul power will greatly help you break through to the Title Douluo level and even the Super Douluo level in the future," Chen Xin instructed.

"I understand, I won't slack off."

Having read countless martial arts novels in his previous life, Tianlin naturally knew how important it was to have pure internal energy, because the more mixed the internal energy was, the more difficult it was to break through to a higher realm.

"Good to know. Now tell me, what is your first soul skill?" Chen Xin asked with concern.

"Teacher, my first soul skill is called Frost Condensation. It has two ways of being used. One is a status effect, which imbues the blade with the power of ice, so that each strike carries the power of ice. The other is a ranged attack skill that gathers all the ice energy into one point and then unleashes it in one go."

After hearing Tianlin's words, Chenxin was somewhat surprised. "It's actually ice. I didn't expect that the water attribute would turn into ice after being absorbed by your sword. This is truly an unexpected surprise. The attack power of ice is quite good, and the two ways of casting it also prove the excellence of your soul skill. Very good, we have gained a lot this time."

"Teacher, shall we return to the sect immediately?"

Chen Xin shook his head. "No rush. We came here so you could quickly obtain your soul ring and break through. There's no need to rush back. Take your time walking back. I want to use this time to teach you basic sword techniques. I have many things to take care of when we get back to the sect, so I won't have time."

Tianlin was slightly taken aback. Busy? What could a sect-protecting Douluo like Chenxin be busy with? He usually either cultivates or plays with Ning Rongrong. He's probably worried about being pestered by Ning Rongrong after they go back, which is why he doesn't have time to teach him.

A dignified Sword Douluo is completely dominated by a little girl; the world is truly going to the dogs.

But this is good too. This is Tianlin's first time leaving Qibao City and Qibao Village to come to the outside world and see the scenery of this continent.

The two then headed towards the exit of the Soul Hunter Forest.

As they were crossing the forest, they suddenly heard the sound of a python crawling and a terrifying hiss.

At the same time, a man's panicked cry rang out, "Mistress, run!"

"A middle-aged man and a mistress? Could this be...?" Tianlin realized he was following the plot of the original story.

It was precisely when Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang brought Tang San to obtain the first spirit ring.

They happened to encounter a 400-year-old Mandragora Serpent. Grandmaster's level 29 soul power was no match for it, so he could only flee with Tang San.

"Teacher, someone over there is in danger. Let's go help them!" Tianlin wanted to meet the male protagonist of the original story. Perfect timing, he could also use the Mandragora Serpent to test his first soul skill.

Chen Xin nodded; it wasn't his style to stand by and watch someone die.

"Then I'll go, teacher, let me show you the power of my first soul skill!" Tianlin leaped over.

At this moment, Tang San was constantly throwing the things on his body backward. With the help of the Tang Clan's exquisite hidden weapon techniques, each strike hit the Mandala Snake's eyes precisely, greatly delaying its pursuit.

Just then, Tianlin suddenly jumped in front of him, his back to him, holding his longsword high, and shouted, "First Soul Skill, Frost Condensation!"

With a swing of the sword, a powerful blast of cold air shot out in a straight line, freezing all the plants on the ground in its path.

The datura serpent was first frozen, and then directly cut in half by the sharp sword energy contained in the demonic sword.

The fusion of the spirit ring with the Spinning Tail Shuttle not only absorbed its water attribute energy, but also made the magic sword even sharper. This was all thanks to Chen Xin's careful selection. If it were Tian Lin alone, he would most likely have just hunted down any creature with the correct attributes, such as the jellyfish.

It seems that after I go back, I need to study the knowledge about spirit beasts properly. I need to understand not only their attributes but also their characteristics in order to obtain the most suitable spirit ring for myself.

"What kind of martial spirit is this sword? Its attack power is so strong that it can kill a four-hundred-year-old Mandragora Serpent with only the strength of a first-ring sword." As expected of a theory fanatic, the master's first thought was not that he was saved, but that he should study Tianlin's martial spirit.

Tianlin ignored him and said to Tang San, "Hey, do you want to absorb the soul ring of this Mandragora Serpent? Why aren't you doing it yet?"

"Make a move?" Tang San looked at the Mandala Snake that had been cut in half. What was the point of making a move now?

"The Mandala Serpent isn't dead yet. Even if a serpentine spirit beast is cut in half, it won't die immediately. Besides, I've frozen it, which has further prolonged its death time. You can still make your move now."

It's common knowledge that a snake doesn't die immediately after its body is cut off. As a disciple of the Tang Clan, Tang San couldn't possibly be unaware of this. He just hadn't realized it at the time, but now that he's been reminded, he immediately said, "I understand, thank you!"

Tang San walked to the side of the Mandala Snake and punched the ice block on its head several times until it was completely shattered.

With his head shattered, he naturally died. Tang San immediately sat down cross-legged and began absorbing the spirit ring.

"Young man, thank you for saving my life just now." The master walked to Tianlin's side and thanked him. "Um, could I take a look at your martial spirit? I have never seen such a powerful sword-type martial spirit before."

"Yu Xiaogang, you want to investigate someone's martial soul as soon as you meet them? Is this how rude your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is?" Chen Xin appeared silently behind the master. With his strength, if he didn't want to show himself, the master would never have noticed him.

"You are Sword Douluo Chen Xin, greetings Your Majesty!" As a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, Grandmaster had met Chen Xin several times and recognized him at a glance.

"Teacher!" Tianlin also bowed respectfully.

The master then realized that the young man was Sword Douluo's disciple, which explained his formidable attack power.

After all, Sword Douluo himself is known as the number one attack titled Douluo on the continent, so it would be abnormal if his disciple didn't have that level of skill.

Chapter 10 First Encounter with Tang San

"I apologize, Your Majesty, I was rude just now!" The master said with a cupped hand, then stepped aside to stand beside his disciple to protect him.

Exploring the martial souls of other sect disciples is indeed a major taboo. After all, intelligence is the strongest weapon. Once the characteristics of one's own martial soul are figured out, the enemy can use them to their advantage, which is very disadvantageous.

"Teacher, what do you think of my attack just now?" After the master left, Tianlin asked Chenxin to evaluate his soul skill.

Chen Xin nodded and praised, "Very good. As expected of a soul skill brought by a 600-year soul ring, its power is enough to rival the full-force attack of an ordinary Great Soul Master. However, such powerful power must have taken a toll on you, right?"

"Yes, that attack just now almost drained a third of my soul power. However, I can feel that if I hadn't released it like that, but instead condensed the cold energy on the sword's edge, the consumption would have been much less, and I could have fought for a long time." Tianlin had nothing to hide from Chenxin, after all, he was his teacher. The more Chenxin understood him, the more accurate his guidance would be.

"Hmm, that's pretty much what I was thinking. So you'll need to study swordsmanship even more in the future. Concentrating your Qi into your sword will be your most common fighting method. Those soul skills that unleash at full power should only be used as finishing blows, understand?"

Chen Xin was already thinking about what sword techniques to teach Tian Lin. With the Demon-Suppressing Sword's formidable offensive power, teaching him defensive sword techniques would be a waste of its potential.

He had already made up his mind. This child was actually extremely suited to his Seven Kill Sword Technique. He was truly a successor sent to him by heaven.

After they finished talking, the two walked over to Tang San, who was absorbing a spirit ring. Chen Xin looked at the Blue Silver Grass in Tang San's hand with great surprise, "This is... Blue Silver Grass?"

"This child looks about the same age as Tianlin, and he has already reached level ten. So his innate soul power must be at least level nine, or even at the same level of full innate soul power. Can Blue Silver Grass also have such a high innate soul power?"

As mentioned before, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's theoretical knowledge is no less than that of a master. The fact that innate soul power is directly proportional to martial soul quality is common knowledge within the sect, and Chen Xin certainly knows this.

No matter how Chen Xin looked at it, he couldn't see anything special about the Blue Silver Grass, thus ruling out the possibility of a mutated Martial Soul.

"Let's go back and ask Feng Zhi. Theoretically speaking, he's the real master," Chen Xin thought.

Tianlin also stared at Tang San. Before the Blue Silver Emperor awakened for the second time, Tang San's appearance was indeed ordinary and incomparable to his own.

Tianlin had some thoughts about this person, and considered befriending him since there was no conflict of interest between them.

Having read the original novel, Tianlin knew how ambitious the Spirit Hall was, and that it was only a matter of time before they attacked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Tang San, because of his parents and Xiao Wu, was also destined to be at odds with the Spirit Hall.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend.

As for the fact that this guy has a double standard, Tianlin doesn't care at all.

Because Tianlin himself is like that, he only cares about the people around him. In his heart, whether the Spirit Hall is good or evil is irrelevant to him, but as long as the Spirit Hall dares to hurt the people important to him, then they are his enemies.

In any case, he had never received any favors from the Spirit Hall. His spirit was awakened by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and his hometown village was also built and protected by the sect. He was able to have a wonderful childhood, and his parents were able to live so happily in the village. It can be said that all of this was given to him by the sect.

Moreover, now that he has joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he naturally has to protect the school. His future cultivation will be supported by the school's resources, without requiring a single gold coin from the Spirit Hall. Therefore, he has no moral remorse whatsoever for fighting against the Spirit Hall in the future.

What matters most to Tianlin is always his home. Whether the Douluo Continent will develop in the future, whether it will be unified or continue to be divided, is none of his business. His lack of vision is his weakness, but his strength is his gratitude. He is well aware of his own situation and has no intention of changing it.

In addition, the greatest opportunity in Douluo Continent may require Tang San's help, which is the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Although he knows where the place is, the problem is that he doesn't recognize the immortal herbs inside at all.

The methods of harvesting, preserving, and consuming various medicinal herbs are all very particular. If there is even the slightest oversight, not only will the effort be in vain, but it may even have the opposite effect.

Of course, Tang San was just a backup plan, because there seemed to be a chapter on alchemy in the Shushan Treasure Record, but unfortunately Tianlin couldn't access the contents of that book yet.

He estimated that once his soul power level increased, he should be able to gradually read the subsequent content, but he didn't know exactly how many levels he would need. If it required level 60 or 70 to unlock it, then it would be too late.

Therefore, it is necessary to give Tang San some small favors before that, such as deliberately sparing the life of the Mandala Snake while saving them.

A moment later, with a surge of soul power, Tang San awoke. "Teacher, I succeeded!"

"What is a Soul Skill, and how resilient is it?" What the master was most concerned about was naturally his theory.

The reason why what he proposed has always been a theory rather than a truth is because no one has put it into practice. Today is the prelude to proving the success of his theory.

Tang San smiled slightly and released the Blue Silver Grass. The Blue Silver Grass transformed into vines and firmly bound a large tree not far away. "Teacher, look, I can launch an attack from any position within fifty meters."

"This soul skill is called Entanglement, which is a characteristic of control-type soul masters. It is also very resilient. If I'm not mistaken, it should also contain some venom from the Datura snake, right?" the master guessed.

Tang San nodded. "That's right, but the poison isn't strong; it only has a numbing effect and isn't fatal."

"That's enough. The combination of entanglement and paralysis means that unless your opponent has two more spirit rings than you, it's impossible for them to break free from your entanglement skill in one go. Little Three, we succeeded!" The master was extremely excited.

"Is that so?" Just then, a questioning voice rang out. Tianlin summoned the demon sword and, without even using his soul power, cut the Blue Silver Grass in two with a single strike. "It's not as mysterious as you make it out to be. Even with the added toughness of the Mandragora Serpent, the Blue Silver Grass is still the Blue Silver Grass."

Tang San looked at his teacher with even more confusion. "This is the Blue Silver Grass you said would be hard to break free from unless you add two more spirit rings, but it's like a block of tofu in front of this child. Are you kidding me?"

"Ahem!" The master coughed to cover his embarrassment and said, "Well, I was talking about the vast majority of cases. It doesn't apply to people with top-tier martial souls."

After saying that, the master hurriedly bid farewell to Chenxin. Tianlin was too good at slapping people in the face, and he really couldn't stay any longer.

Chen Xin nodded, and after bidding farewell to the master, said, "Xiao Tian, ​​let's go too. Let's hurry, I want to teach you swordsmanship along the way."

Chapter 11 Tianlin's Path of the Sword

After leaving the Soul Hunting Forest, Chen Xin led Tian Lin back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School on foot. The two traveled slowly because Chen Xin was teaching Tian Lin the sword technique along the way.

"Xiao Tian, ​​all sword techniques are based on hooking, hanging, pointing, picking, stabbing, flicking, and chopping. No exquisite sword technique can be separated from these seven movements, and this is also the essence of my Seven Kill Sword Technique. If you want to inherit my Seven Kill Sword Technique in the future, you must reach the level of perfection in these seven moves."

Chen Xin has not yet taught Tian Lin any exquisite sword techniques, but rather a set of basic introductory sword skills. He urges Tian Lin to practice diligently during the day, travel in the evening, and use meditation instead of sleep at night.

It's fair to say that Tianlin had absolutely no time to rest.

However, he had no complaints. With Chen Xin's guidance, he was now capable of taking on three of his past selves.

Chen Xin was quite satisfied with Tian Lin's diligence. If Tian Lin's rough swordsmanship could only score 0.1 out of 100 on the first day, it could now score at least 10 out of 100, a hundred times better.

One morning, Tianlin woke up from his meditation and practiced basic sword techniques as his teacher instructed. However, this time, while practicing the basic sword techniques, the basic sword moves of the Shu Mountain School subconsciously flashed through his mind.

Driven by his own will, his moves gradually deviated from the actions taught by Chen Xin, and he subconsciously began to practice the basic sword techniques of Shu Mountain.

This is evidence that his basic swordsmanship has reached a certain level, and he can begin to practice the Shu Mountain School sword techniques.
