Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

"It seems you've forgotten me." Tianlin sneered. This guy only cared about his theories and was even inferior to Tang San in some aspects. At least Tang San remembered him as his savior. "Forget it. I came to see you today not to ask you anything, but to inform you that Rongrong, Hongjun, Oscar, and Meng Yiran are now members of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. From now on, we will oversee their choice of spirit rings, so please don't make any decisions on your own."

"What did you say?" Upon hearing this, the master stood up angrily. "So you're from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? But so what? Don't forget, they are my students now. Their spirit rings should naturally be decided by me. Would I harm them?"

"Of course you can't do it, Tang San, but others might not be able to." Tianlin said bluntly. He already had little goodwill towards the Grandmaster, and letting Oscar pursue the path of amplification only fueled his anger.

"Brother Jun, what do you mean by this? Are you questioning my teacher?" Tang San angrily questioned Tian Lin.

"hostility?"

Tianlin actually sensed hostility from Tang San. Although he hadn't been entirely well-intentioned in saving him, it was still a fact that he had saved him. He never expected that just because he asked Tang San a question, Tang San would show hostility towards him. This was truly chilling.

It didn't matter, since he and Tang San were only in a business relationship, not true friends. Moreover, after finding the method to unlock immortal techniques, Tang San's value had diminished. He retorted nonchalantly, "So what if I question you? As the direct disciple of the sect's guardian Douluo, the husband of the next sect leader, and personally appointed by Uncle Ning as the future vice sect leader, it is only natural for me to care about the cultivation path of the sect's disciples."

"I will never allow anyone to gamble with the future of my sect's disciples for the sake of winning a Soul Master Competition."

"You say I'm using their future as a bargaining chip? Then tell me, what did I do? Did I choose the wrong spirit rings for them?" The master calmly sat down. He had absolute confidence in his theory. Could he really be out-argued by a child?

Tianlin glanced at the people behind him and said, "There's nothing to say about Rongrong and Hongjun. You can't control them anyway."

There is only one path for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and that is amplification. Even if Grandmaster wanted to choose another path for Rongrong, he couldn't. As for Ma Hongjun, his Phoenix is ​​a top-grade, powerful combat-type martial soul bestowed by heaven. Anyone who isn't stupid knows how to choose his soul rings. Moreover, Ma Hongjun's master is Flander, so it's not up to Grandmaster to make the decision alone.

“But Oscar and Yiran are a different story.” Tianlin turned to the two of them and said, “Tell me, what path does this ‘master’ suggest you take next?”

“I am an amplification. He said that my food-type amplification can be stacked with Ning Rongrong’s Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda amplification, which can further enhance the strength of our Shrek Seven Devils.”

"I'm adding a spirit ring with paralyzing toxins to my serpent staff to increase the variability in battle."

After Oscar and Meng Yiran finished speaking, the master smiled slightly and said, "Did you hear that? Where do you think my chosen path went wrong? As long as they follow my theory, they can not only perform well in competitions, but also be useful in the future."

Upon hearing this, Tianlin sneered, "Usefulness? Heh, it is indeed useful, but is that your achievement? Isn't it because their original martial souls were already excellent enough? You just changed the path that could have given them a perfect score to the path that only gave them a sixty. In your eyes, apart from Tang San, as long as everyone else reaches the passing grade, that's good enough, right?"

“Oscar, with an unprecedented innate full soul power of the food type, as long as he focuses on replenishment, when he achieves a title, his strategic significance to the army or major sects will be unimaginable. His status in the sect will also rise accordingly. As for the boost, do you really think our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is lacking even a tiny bit of assistance?”

"And Yiran, her strategy was already set: a direct attack. The poisons she chose before were all deadly. You suddenly switched her to paralysis poison for two reasons. One is that you're worried her poison is too strong and might accidentally kill someone in the Soul Master Competition, thus disqualifying Shrek Academy from the competition. The other is that after switching to paralysis poison, she can use poison to control others, just like our team's Dugu Yan, thus becoming Tang San's substitute. In the early preliminary rounds, she can replace Tang San to better conceal his strength, right?"

"Everything you've done is entirely for Tang San's benefit!" Tianlin finally couldn't help but shout angrily.

Chapter 138 Haotian vs. Seven Treasures: Shu Mountain vs. Tang Clan

Tianlin's questioning enraged Tang San. He stood in front of his teacher and said, "Brother Jun, although you have helped me several times, if you disrespect my teacher again, don't blame me for being impolite." As he said this, the silent dart in his sleeve had already quietly entered the room.

"Tang San, if you want to fight, whether it's a spirit battle or a martial arts contest, I'll fight you to the end. But this matter concerns the future achievements of my sect's disciples, and I will not back down an inch."

Tianlin kept his eyes fixed on Tang San. He would not hesitate to take action if Tang San made any move. Whether it was a battle of martial souls from Douluo Continent or a battle between Shu Mountain and Tang Sect, Tianlin was not afraid of him. He was confident that he could crush Tang San in either way.

"Alright, Little San, since this Sword Lord doesn't trust me, then so be it. Anyway, my theories haven't been accepted for a long time, so let's leave it at that." The master's voice was incredibly low, as if he felt deeply resentful of the world's misunderstanding of him.

It gives off a feeling of being the only one sober while everyone else is drunk.

With such acting skills, it's no wonder she could fool those two silly women, Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong, completely.

However, Tianlin refused to buy his explanation and said directly, "If you want the world to accept your theory, then first remove those common-sense facts that everyone knows from your core theory. Also, when you announce your theory, you only say the name of the theory. How can people believe you? If you don't want to announce it, then keep it as a secret technique. If you want to announce it, then explain it clearly. There's no need to be so hypocritical."

"Jun Tianlin!" Tang San could no longer hold back and addressed Tianlin by his full name. "You did do me a small favor in the past, but I also gave you my Tang Clan's hidden weapons as a way of repaying you. We are even now, and our cooperation ends here. Today, you insulted my teacher. Tang San will definitely come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to seek justice from you in the future."

"Even if we're even?" Tianlin was speechless at Tang San's strange choice of words. "You'd better look at the gold soul coin card in Xiao Wu's pocket before you say that. Did you give it to her? I clearly paid for it."

"Whatever." Tianlin smiled slightly and left with Rongrong and the others. He was just looking for an opportunity to end this cooperation, and Tang San's anger was exactly what he wanted.

Previously, he couldn't create offensive talismans because he hadn't activated the Five Elements Immortal Techniques, so he had to rely on hidden weapons like the Buddha's Wrath Lotus. But now, after obtaining his first soul ring with the Holy Spirit Pearl, the door to immortal techniques has been opened.

Although currently only Yang-attribute immortal techniques without offensive power are available, this also means that the Holy Spirit Pearl is the key to unlocking immortal techniques. The Five Elements Immortal Techniques will definitely be unlocked in the future. In the future, with powerful talismans such as "Raising Fire to the Sky" and "Stars Fall and Earth Shakes," I'll be missing a Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus from you.

For Tianlin now, Tang San is of no value. If there is any use for him, it is to use his identity as the successor of Haotian Douluo to attract the hatred of the Spirit Hall.

After Tianlin left, the master could no longer pretend and his face was full of anger.

That's right, Tianlin is right. In his mind, the other members of the Shrek Seven Devils are only there to serve Tang San. All their soul skills are fine as long as they can help Tang San, because Tang San is his disciple and the best proof of his theory.

Only Tang San can become that one perfect Soul Master; for others, reaching the passing grade of 60 is enough.

"Teacher, please don't be angry. Your theory is absolutely correct. I will prove it for you. Although I am not yet a match for that Sword Master, I will surpass him one day." Tang San helped Yu Xiaogang sit down and said resentfully.

“That’s right, Little San. Although that Sword Lord is very strong now, his potential is far inferior to yours. Don’t forget, you have twin martial souls, and your second martial soul is the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one weapon martial soul in the world. Once you grow up, he will be no match for you.” The Grandmaster quickly recovered. He had been insulted and ridiculed all his life and was used to it.

"Clear Sky Hammer? Teacher, is this the name of my second spirit?" Tang San asked in confusion. Because Titan had been sent away by Tian Lin in advance, Tang San did not know the truth about his second spirit.

After thinking it over, the master decided that since Tang San wanted to become a Sword Lord, there were some things he should be told to boost his confidence. So, the master told Tang San everything about the Clear Sky Sect and the Clear Sky Douluo.

After hearing this, Tang San remained stunned for a long time. He never expected that his background was so extraordinary: the heir of the number one sect in the world, the son of Haotian Douluo, and possessing the number one weapon spirit in the world.

Then came a surge of confidence. Wasn't that Sword Lord just acting arrogantly because he was the successor of the second-largest sect in the world and the Sword Douluo? Now, his own status was no less than his, and his potential was far superior.

Once his strength surpasses Tianlin's, he will use the funds Tianlin provided to establish the Tang Sect and integrate the Haotian Sect. With the combined power of both sects, he will surely be able to reclaim the Tang Sect's hidden weapon blueprints from him. The hidden weapons belonging to his Tang Sect cannot remain in the hands of another sect indefinitely. At that time, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, having seen the blueprints, is willing to become a subordinate sect of the Tang Sect, then so be it; otherwise, he will have no choice but to…

Completely unaware of Tang San's current delusions, Tian Lin led Rong Rong and the others out of the teaching building and said, "Rong Rong, I offended that master today. Given his personality, he probably won't pass on the theory of heteromorphic fusion to you. Why don't you come with me to Tian Dou? Hong Jun, Oscar, and Yi Ran are also coming."

“Boss, I won’t go. Although I don’t like that master, my teacher is the true founder of Shrek Academy. Shrek is his brainchild, and I want to help him make the academy’s name known.” Like Tianlin, Ma Hongjun was grateful. Tianlin nodded in satisfaction. This was what Ma Hongjun should do, so he didn’t insist.

"I was also raised by the dean, and Teacher Shao Xin has also done me a great favor. So, I'll wait until the competition is over before I return to the sect."

"I'm following Oscar."

Oscar also chose to stay, as he also had feelings for Shrek, while Meng Yiran naturally followed her sweetheart.

“Brother Jian, then I’ll stay here too. As the successor sect leader, I can keep an eye on Hong Jun and Oscar so they won’t slack off in their cultivation.” Ning Rongrong said with a smile, then took Meng Yiran’s hand. “Besides, I won’t miss Sister Yiran. We’re best friends now.”

Having already learned Tang San's true personality from Tian Lin, Ning Rongrong didn't want to associate with Xiao Wu too much. She had also guessed the identities of Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai. Therefore, Ning Rongrong's relationship with the two girls among the Shrek Seven Devils was just so-so, but she became good friends with Meng Yiran, who had joined her sect.

"Alright, then you all need to take good care of yourselves. Anyway, with Grandpa Eagle around, nothing should happen in this Tiandou City."

Tianlin waved goodbye to the group and left Shrek Academy, returning to his own team.

Chapter 139 Tianlin and Xue Qinghe

Although the Royal Fighting Team of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is only subordinate to the Heavenly Dou Second Team, the three instructors are not idiots. They all know that these children only chose the Second Team position to gain more experience. In a real fight, the First Team would not even be able to withstand a single blow from them.

Therefore, they were allowed to use the best simulation training grounds and fighting spirit training grounds in the entire academy unconditionally.

"You brat, you finally decided to come back! You said you were just going to Soto City to scout things out, but you ran off after we got there. Don't you have any team spirit?" Yu Tianheng finally waited for Tianlin to return and couldn't help but complain bitterly, "Do you know how I've been while you were gone?"

In the current royal battle, Gu Ran has switched from the attack position to the defensive counter-attack position. If Tian Lin is not there, the pure offensive type is only Yu Tian Heng. All the team battle spirits in Soto City are being carried by Yu Tian Heng alone, which is really putting him under great pressure.

“Yes, Xiaotian, you can’t keep leaving the group. The academy competition is just around the corner, we need to work on our teamwork.” Ye Lingling also stepped forward to persuade him.

"I'm sorry, Tianheng, Senior Ye, I didn't mean to, but there's a reason why I left the group this time..."

Tianlin was about to explain when Qin Ming interrupted him with a smile, "Alright, Tian, ​​we all know. Gu Ran told us that you had another fortuitous encounter and have already broken through to the Soul King realm, right? Congratulations! Looking across the entire continent, we probably can't find another genius like you."

“That’s right, you’re the darling of our team. We’re not actually angry, it’s just that Tianheng is envious and jealous.” Osro put his arm around Tianlin’s shoulder like a good brother and said, “Little Tian, ​​with you here, it seems like we’ve got this Soul Master Competition in the bag.”

"Oslo, don't be careless. The game is a team battle, and it's never just Xiaotian's responsibility." Seeing Oslo's nonchalant attitude, Qin Ming couldn't help but reprimand him. What he was most worried about was that the others would rely too much on Tianlin.

They all clearly have the potential to become Title Douluo. If they were to be ruined because of this, it would be a dereliction of duty on his part as their teacher.

“That’s right. It’s just Soul King, I’ll definitely reach that level soon.” Yu Tianheng made up his mind. Even if he couldn’t compare to Tianlin, he would at least maintain his dignity as the captain.

"Xiao Tian, ​​although you are slightly ahead now, I will catch up with you soon. I have not forgotten my promise. As an older sister, I must protect my younger brother."

"As senior students, we also need to protect our junior students."

Dugu Yan and the Shi brothers were also highly motivated. Seeing everyone's state, Qin Ming finally nodded in satisfaction. The nine members of the Royal Fighting Team had finally gathered. He was about to begin preparing for a new round of special training for the Academy Tournament.

As night fell, Tianlin returned to his dormitory after a day of training and met someone who was both unexpected and yet expected.

"Brother Xue, what brings you here?" Tianlin stepped forward and asked. He was certain that Xue Qinghe would come when he returned, but he didn't expect him to arrive so quickly.

"Of course I came to see you. What dangerous things did you do these past few days? The power of Heavenly Snow is warning me." Xue Qinghe frowned, his tone revealing deep concern.

Because of their long-term cultivation of the Heavenly Snow Power, the two have developed a deeper connection with each other. In fact, sometimes Tianlin can also sense Xue Qinghe.

However, he couldn't talk about the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, so he had to downplay it and say, "I had a lucky encounter a few days ago and broke through to become a Soul King, but my fifth soul ring was way too old, so I almost exploded and died."

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe momentarily forgot to maintain his composure and couldn't help but angrily say, "You're being far too reckless. This isn't the first time this has happened, is it? No, you're really causing me a lot of trouble. Next time, I'll personally accompany you to hunt for your sixth spirit ring."

"Wow, Xiao Tian, ​​you're so lucky! The person in front of you, although she looks like a man, is actually a girl, and she's as beautiful as an angel! She's even more beautiful than your Rongrong! Hehe, this little disguise technique can't fool my million-year-old spiritual power." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm transmitted her voice. "Moreover, I can feel that she really cares about you. Cherish her, Xiao Tian!"

"Brother Tianmeng, I've always known." Thanks to the Flame Golden Eyes, an external soul bone he had taken from the Autumn Water Dew, Tianlin had always been able to see through Xue Qinghe's true nature.

Because of his studies at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he actually spent just as much time with Xue Qinghe as he did with Ning Rongrong. This is why he said he was inferior to Ma Hongjun. Spending every day with such an outstanding woman who was so attentive to him, it was really difficult to remain completely unmoved.

In a sense, her plan to abduct Tianlin back then was half successful. Although Tianlin would not betray the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School because of her, he probably wouldn't be able to make the decision to take action against her now.

"Your Highness, something terrible has happened!" Just then, a maidservant suddenly shouted anxiously from outside the door.

When the Crown Prince travels, he naturally needs servants to accompany him, but she dares not enter without the Crown Prince's order.

Xue Qinghe was already worried about Tianlin's situation, and said in a flustered manner, "What happened again? Come in and tell me!"

The maid entered the room and found that the atmosphere here seemed rather unpleasant. His Highness the Crown Prince, who was usually gentle and kind, seemed to be in a bad mood. Seeing Tianlin standing silently beside him, could it be that the two brothers had quarreled?

In the eyes of these maids, the brothers were always closer than husband and wife; they had known each other for so many years and seemed to have never had a disagreement.

Snapping out of her reverie, the maid remembered she had something important to report: "Your Highness, something terrible has happened! Prince Xue Beng... he killed someone in the academy!"

"What did you say?" Xue Qinghe and Tian Lin were shocked. Everyone in this academy was a nobleman. Even though Xue Beng was a prince, this was no small matter.

The two rushed out and arrived at Xue Beng's dormitory building. As a prince, Xue Beng's privileges were not simply limited to one room per person. He lived alone in the entire building and could do whatever he wanted.

The dormitory building had been sealed off at this time. This was the work of the three education committee members. They were loyal to the Tiandou royal family and naturally wanted to prevent such royal scandals from being leaked.

"Greetings, Your Highness." Meng Shenji led Bai Baoshan and Zhilin forward to pay their respects.

“No need for formalities, three education commissioners. What has my good-for-nothing brother been up to this time?” Xue Qinghe asked.

"This..." Meng Shenji hesitated, as if it was a very shameful thing that even he, a Soul Douluo, found difficult to talk about.

Chapter 140 Royals, Nobles, and Commoners

Seeing that the three education committee members couldn't bring themselves to say it, Xue Qinghe simply walked into Xue Beng's dormitory. There, Xue Beng looked completely indifferent, sitting on a chair in the corridor with his legs crossed, looking nonchalant.

"Avalanche, stand up! What happened? Explain yourself!" Xue Qinghe roared at Xue Beng. He despised his nominal younger brother from the bottom of his heart. If Xue Beng hadn't lacked the talent of the Second and Third Princes, he would have been killed by Xue Qinghe long ago.

"Oh dear, Your Majesty, don't be so angry. It's just a small matter. Look at these fussy maids, why did they even bring you here?" Xue Beng said seemingly arrogantly, "I just accidentally killed a commoner, what's the big deal?"

"What did you say?" Xue Qinghe pushed open the door and saw a young girl lying on the avalanche bed, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, barely clothed. On the floor lay a coarse linen garment, clearly the kind of clothing commoners would wear.

This girl was probably abducted by Xue Beng, and Xue Beng deliberately killed her because he received news that Xue Qinghe was coming to the academy today.

Tianlin glanced coldly at Xue Beng. Of course, he knew that this Prince Xue Beng was not as simple as he appeared on the surface. However, if it was just to show off his playboy ways, why would he go to such lengths? The Xue Beng in the original story did not seem to reach this level.

However, from Xue Beng's perspective, this matter is not a big deal, because he will not be punished for it. After all, Xue Beng is a prince and a Soul Master, and his class is much higher than that of a commoner girl.

Tian Dou Royal Academy is an academy full of decadent nobles. Even if this matter gets out, those other playboys will not only not blame Xue Beng for his cruelty, but will also say that he is amazingly heroic and unrestrained.

As for the gossip among the common people, Xue Beng didn't care at all. His reputation was already bad enough. Besides, in the fantasy world, the hearts of the people weren't that important. The saying "He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world" didn't apply in Douluo Continent. Power was everything.

The only impact will be that it will cause dissatisfaction among the three education committee members. However, these three education committee members are already Xue Qinghe's die-hard fans. His evaluation of Xue Beng was already zero in their hearts. If it drops further, it can't possibly become negative.
