Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

The Shushan School's introductory sword techniques emphasize light and agile swordplay, free and unhurried footwork, and moves as graceful as those of an immortal.

"Huh, Xiao Tian's swordsmanship?" Chen Xin was struck by the agility of the swordplay when he saw this. With his keen eyesight, he could tell that this was a beginner-level swordsmanship, but it was far more exquisite than what he had taught him.

"Stop right there, Xiao Tian. Can you tell me who taught you that sword technique you just used?"

Upon hearing this, Tianlin stopped his sword dance, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Reporting to my teacher, this is something I came up with while practicing, and no one else taught me."

The cultivation techniques of the Shu Mountain lineage and the Nuwa lineage are Tianlin's greatest secret, which he will hide even deeper than his twin martial souls.

Basic sword techniques are harmless, but advanced swordsmanship is different. If he were to rashly reveal them now, he wouldn't be able to explain their origin. Could he say that he created them himself? A complete novice creating the Myriad Swords Technique, Sword God, Heavenly Sword, and other incredibly profound sword techniques? Who would believe that?

Let's wait until he's stronger before giving the swordplay part of the book to Chen Xin.

"Without any instruction from anyone else, he actually came up with it all by himself. I never expected that this child not only has such a remarkable talent for cultivating soul power, but also such astonishing aptitude for swordsmanship." Chen Xin was truly shocked this time. Had the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School taken in a monster?

Seeing that Chen Xin remained silent, Tian Lin timidly asked, "Teacher, did I offend you by modifying the sword techniques you taught without permission? I won't do it again."

Chen Xin shook his head and smiled, "No, the teacher is not angry. On the contrary, he is very happy. Remember, if anyone tells you in the future that practicing swordsmanship only requires following the steps without any flexibility, you don't need to say anything. Just slash at them with your sword. Because that person is definitely trying to harm you."

"There are no two people in this world who are exactly alike, just as there are no two swords that are exactly alike. Even though my Seven Kill Sword Technique was taught to me by my father, it is already very different from how my father used it. I hope it is the same for you. What I can pass on to you is only the sword technique. The sword intent and sword heart that belong to you are still yours to comprehend!"

"My own unique sword intent and sword heart? I understand, teacher. I will definitely forge my own path." Although Tianlin didn't quite understand, he at least knew that Chenxin was doing it for his own good and that he was a qualified teacher.

"Teacher, how many points would you give me for my swordsmanship just now?" Tianlin asked expectantly.

"Hehe, sixty points!"

Sixty points is still not a very high score, but it is very meaningful because it means that in Chen Xin's eyes, it is almost a passing grade.

Twenty days later, the two finally returned to Qibao City. What should have been a journey of just a few days took them more than half a month because of their cultivation along the way.

After returning to the sect, Chen Xin said, "Xiao Tian, ​​you must be tired from the journey. You can rest for a day today. Go back to your room and rest. I still need to tell Feng Zhi about our gains this time!"

"Alright, disciple takes his leave!" Tianlin said and ran back to his room.

In his room, there was a crystal ball used to test soul power, and he was now eager to know what level his soul power was.

The room is cleaned daily, and even though I haven't been back for over two weeks, it's still very clean.

Tianlin casually tossed his luggage onto the bed, then picked up the crystal ball and began to infuse it with soul power. Instantly, the crystal ball shone brightly.

"My soul power has actually reached level 15!" Tianlin was shocked. He had long guessed that after absorbing the six-hundred-year soul ring, his soul power should have exceeded level 13.

But now it seems that he was at least at level fourteen and a half at that time, and it was only after more than half a month of training that he reached level fifteen.

"That's great. If I can maintain this cultivation speed, I might be able to cope with that crisis in the future." Since joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the thing that Tianlin was most worried about was the future crisis of extermination of his clan, which was the Spirit Hall's Soul Hunting Operation.

According to the original timeline, the Soul Hunting Operation takes place approximately fourteen to fifteen years later, at which time Tianlin should be around twenty years old.

Although time seemed a bit insufficient, Tianlin was confident in his cultivation speed, not only because of his talent, but also because the Holy Spirit Pearl could assist in cultivation, which he had tried on the way back.

Under the Holy Breath Barrier, Chen Xin's soul power cultivation speed increased by 10%, and its effect on himself increased by as much as 30%.

Moreover, he had another advantage, namely the Nuwa Meditation Method. When he was with Chen Xin, he didn't dare to practice this, for fear of being discovered. He had always practiced the techniques taught by Chen Xin.

Today, in my own room, is the time to switch to this meditation method.

Tianlin sat cross-legged and immediately entered a deep meditative state. As for Chenxin's suggestion to rest, he decided against it; he didn't have the time. He could only sleep soundly after he had weathered the future crisis.

At this moment, Chen Xin had returned to the main hall and sat down in his seat, telling Ning Fengzhi about his gains along the way.

"A six-hundred-year soul ring! Tianlin was actually able to absorb a six-hundred-year soul ring. This is truly a miracle. He could have exploded and died if he hadn't been careful." Ning Fengzhi was both surprised and delighted, but also a little scared. The future Title Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was almost gone.

However, then something occurred to him, and a glint appeared in his eyes.

Chapter 12 Ning Fengzhi's Wisdom

"Uncle Jian, do you mean that Xiao Tian was about to give up, and it was his second martial soul that forcibly opened a barrier to protect him and saved him?" Ning Fengzhi wanted to find out all the details, because if his guess was correct, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would be very prosperous.

“Yes, his Holy Breath Barrier doesn’t just restore soul power as he claims; it also restores injuries and even mental energy. He just used it at full strength before, so he wasn’t aware of its effects!” Chen Xin replied.

"That's right." Ning Fengzhi became completely excited. "Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, have you ever heard of a support soul skill that can be used even when absorbing soul rings before?"

The two shook their heads in unison. When a Soul Master absorbs a Soul Ring, they refuse all external interference. Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which is known as the strongest support-type Soul Pagoda, cannot do this.

Otherwise, if a Soul Master reaches level 40 and is preparing to absorb a Soul Ring to break through to the Soul Sect level, and finds a Soul Master with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to give him all-round enhancements, forcibly raising his physical strength, soul power, and mental power to the Soul Sect level before absorbing the Soul Ring, wouldn't anyone be able to absorb a Soul Ring beyond their level?

"Wait a minute, that's not right. Then why can Xiaotian's soul skill work on a soul master who is absorbing a soul ring?" The two titled Douluos finally realized what they had overlooked.

"This is it. That bead truly lives up to its reputation as a divine-level martial soul. It has already broken the norm. Just think about it, as long as Xiao Tian is here, in the future, when our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's genius disciples absorb soul rings, as long as they are within his barrier!" Ning Fengzhi reminded.

“Then we can cultivate powerful Soul Masters whose entire Soul Rings exceed their age limit.” Chen Xin blurted out. As expected of the Sect Master, he could immediately think of something that Chen Xin had not noticed.

"In that case, within forty years, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will surely surpass all other sects on the continent, including the Spirit Hall. You must know that Xiao Tian's spirit also has the effect of accelerating cultivation, which is equivalent to raising the aptitude of all members of the sect." Gu Rong was even more excited.

He was born a beggar, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School took him in when he needed him most. In his heart, the growth of the school was more important than anything else.

But at this moment, Ning Fengzhi shook his head, "No, not forty years, but eighty years!"

"Why does it take so long?" Gu Rong asked, puzzled.

"Because I don't plan to let Xiaotian reveal this ability before he becomes a Title Douluo. The tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind. He is still too weak now. Once it is exposed, he will be hunted down by the Spirit Hall, other sects, or even the two great empires without regard for the consequences."

"No one wants to see an excessively powerful sect emerge, but once he reaches the Title Douluo level, I believe no one in the world will be his match. Furthermore, once he becomes a Title Douluo, that Holy Breath Barrier will definitely evolve into a domain, and its effects will be even more terrifying!"

“Back then, Tang Hao broke the continent record by becoming a Title Douluo at the age of forty-four. Giving Xiao Tian forty years is conservative. In fact, with Xiao Tian’s talent, if things go smoothly, he might not need that long. He might even break Tang Hao’s record again before he turns forty. Forty years is a mere forty years. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can afford to wait.” Ning Fengzhi said with high spirits.

He doesn't care about temporary gains or losses; he's looking towards the more distant future.

Of course, he was unaware of the Spirit Hall's future Soul Hunting Plan; otherwise, he might not have spoken so casually.

"Haha, you're right. But by then, the title of the most successful sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will probably go to Rongrong." Chen Xin smiled knowingly.

Forty years from now, Ning Fengzhi will definitely have abdicated. And in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the only one qualified to succeed him as sect leader is Ning Rongrong. At that time, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will reach its peak under her leadership.

Centuries later, when people look back, they will remember this most successful sect leader. As for Ning Fengzhi, apart from knowing that he was Ning Rongrong's predecessor as sect leader and her father, they probably won't have any other impressions of him.

"What's the big deal? It's just an empty title. Whether Rongrong gets it or I get it, there's no difference."

Ning Fengzhi was an outstanding sect leader and a great father. He paved a smooth road for Ning Rongrong, who was still a little girl at the time.

After ending that topic, Chen Xin told Ning Fengzhi about his encounter with Tang San and the Grandmaster.

The combination of Blue Silver Grass and innate full soul power left a deep impression on him.

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi frowned. "I didn't expect that not only did we find Xiao Tian, ​​this unparalleled genius, but the Haotian Sect is also moving quickly."

"Haotian Sect? What does this have to do with Haotian Sect?" Gu Rong was completely confused by Ning Fengzhi's thought process. How could a Blue Silver Grass be related to Haotian Sect?

"From the information that Uncle Jian just gave, I deduced a few points. First, the martial soul of that guy named Tang San should not be Blue Silver Grass, but rather the Blue Silver Emperor, which was recorded in the sect."

"Second, there is a 90% chance that he also has twin martial souls."

"Thirdly, he should be the son of Haotian Douluo Tang Hao!"

After Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, he completely shocked the two Douluo. If Tianlin were here, he would definitely exclaim, "Uncle Ning, you're holding a script, aren't you?"

Did Chen Xin say that much? He only mentioned a name and then mentioned Blue Silver Grass.

Ning Fengzhi continued to explain, "First of all, although many of the master's theories have not been proven, one of them is indeed true: the quality of a martial soul is directly proportional to its innate soul power. Blue Silver Grass is definitely not enough to satisfy the innate full soul power requirement, so it must be the higher-level Blue Silver Emperor!"

"What about twin martial souls? One Blue Silver Emperor is enough to meet the innate full soul power requirement, so why make such a judgment? Twin martial souls are not so easy to come by," Gu Rong questioned.

"This is my deduction after putting myself in the master's shoes. We all know that there is a very important requirement for twin martial souls, that is, the quality of the two martial souls must be similar. Although the master's theory is good, his strength is too low and he cannot sense the life of the martial soul. In fact, martial souls are also alive, not inanimate objects. Dragons do not live with snakes. This is common sense, and he probably does not know this."

"Therefore, when he met Tang San, he must have thought that ordinary Blue Silver Grass could not meet the requirements of innate full soul power, and that he must have another very powerful martial soul, which is why he took Tang San as his disciple."

"However, it's also possible that he just wanted to prove that there are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters, so he actually found a pure Blue Silver Grass soul master to train. Therefore, I only say the probability is 90%."

Ning Fengzhi is theoretically terrifying to a certain extent. If there were a God of Wisdom in the God Realm, he would certainly be qualified to try to inherit it.

Chapter 13 The Little Witch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School

Inside the main hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, there was a moment of silence. The two Title Douluo were both impressed by Ning Fengzhi's wisdom and surprised by the information Tang San provided.

Finally, Gu Rong broke the silence, "Feng Zhi, then why did you say Tang San is Tang Hao's son? Is it just because his surname is Tang?"

“Of course it’s not that simple.” Ning Fengzhi shook his head, lost in memories. “This involves a very famous matter in the world of Soul Masters.”

"Six years ago, the news that the former Pope of the Spirit Hall led two Title Douluos to hunt spirit beasts but failed and was seriously injured by Haotian Douluo was almost common knowledge."

"At the time, I was thinking, what kind of soul beast would require such a large team to be mobilized? Most importantly, they still failed. Everyone was saying that Tang Hao defeated them, snatched that soul beast, and then became a Title Douluo."

"But I think the order is wrong. Tang Hao only had eight spirit rings at the time. Even if he was a strong Soul Douluo, he couldn't possibly defeat three Title Douluos. So the order should be that he defeated them after he became a Title Douluo."

“However, how could a Soul Douluo possibly defeat three Title Douluos? There’s only one possibility!” Ning Fengzhi speculated.

"Sacrifice!" Chenxin Gurong blurted out.

"That's right. Only a soul beast's voluntary sacrifice can explain all of this. I once investigated Tang Hao and found that he had married a woman whose martial soul was Blue Silver Grass. Moreover, it was during the crucial period when he was about to become a Title Douluo. At that time, I was ignorant and even laughed at him for being bewitched by beauty. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that woman was not a Blue Silver Grass soul master, but a soul beast that had transformed from a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor!"

“Tang San, surnamed Tang, is exactly six years old, his martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, and he has innate full soul power. Too many coincidences come together, so it is no longer a coincidence!” Ning Fengzhi said with certainty.

At this point, neither Bone Douluo nor Sword Douluo had any more doubts. Bone Douluo even said directly, "In that case, shouldn't we nip that child in the bud? Twin martial souls, innate full soul power, once he grows up, I'm afraid neither the old Sword Master nor I will be his match!"

“No need. Although the three upper sects occasionally fight, they are generally united. Haotian Douluo is powerful, and we have no reason to antagonize him,” Ning Fengzhi stopped him. “Besides, Uncle Gu, have you forgotten that Tang Hao has Tang San, and we have Xiaotian.”

Hearing this, Gu Rong calmed down. "That's true. Xiao Tian's two terrifying martial souls, let alone that bead, even that sword is no weaker than the Clear Sky Hammer."

“Even more so!” Although Chen Xin was sparing with his words, his speech was filled with confidence in Tian Lin.

At this moment, the child trusted by the three big shots was hiding in his room, diligently practicing a new meditation method.

After circulating his soul power throughout his body for one full cycle, Tianlin opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"What an amazing Nuwa Meditation Method! Not only has it increased my soul power cultivation speed by almost half, but it also has a purification effect. This saves me a lot of time sorting out those impure soul powers." Tianlin opened his eyes and was extremely excited.

With the combined effects of Nuwa's meditation method and the Holy Spirit Pearl, at his current cultivation speed, fourteen years is equivalent to more than twenty-seven years of cultivation for an ordinary innate full-strength soul master.

This greatly boosted his confidence, since what he lacked most right now was time.

"I'm hungry, it's about time for dinner!" Tianlin pushed open the door to his room and realized that it was already dark. He had been meditating all afternoon without realizing it.

Dinner time had passed, and the cafeteria was probably already closed, so Tianlin had no choice but to go to the orchard to pick fruit to eat.

Just as he left the room, several small figures secretly followed him.

Tianlin arrived at the orchard, found some ripe fruit, picked it, and prepared to wash it and use it to get through the night. Just then, a long object flew over, and sensing the danger, Tianlin dodged to the side.

But the fruit in his hand fell to the ground. Just then, something else shot out and hit the fruit, pinning it to the treetop.

Tianlin then realized that it was actually a bone.

"Who ambushed me? Show yourself!"

As Tianlin finished speaking, several figures emerged from the woods. Leading them was Ning Rongrong. "Hmph, so be it. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

"Little witch, what are you doing? Are you bullying your fellow disciples for no reason?" Tianlin teased.
