Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

"Third Soul Skill, I have a mushroom sausage!" Oscar created two mushroom sausages and gave one to Dai Mubai and one to Tang San. The purpose of this sausage was not for flight, but for acceleration.

Zhu Zhuqing is fast and Xiao Wu has teleportation ability, so they don't need each other.

"So fast!" Seeing the four Shrek students rushing towards them at top speed, the Purple Star Academy didn't even have time to react before they were surrounded by the four.

"The second soul skill, charm!"

"Third Soul Skill, Netherworld Slash."

"Fourth Soul Skill, White Tiger Meteor Shower."

Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu attacked simultaneously. Dai Mubai's wide-range attack soul skill covered all five people at once, while Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu repelled one person and charmed another, respectively.

To avoid the White Tiger Meteor Shower, Zi Xing and his group of five retreated to the rear. At that moment, the remaining two were caught in the crossfire. One of them was knocked away by Zhu Zhuqing, and the other was bewitched by Xiao Wu and obediently followed her orders.

"Blue Silver Grass, Bind!" Taking advantage of the seven people being surrounded, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass transformed into a large circle and bound them all together in one go.

"I see. The purpose of this attack is to force them to move, not to actually hit them." Tianlin saw through the trick. Since Tang San doesn't have the Blue Silver Cage, a group restriction skill from the original work, he can only control all his opponents at once by having them group together and then using Blue Silver Grass to bind them all together.

The so-called "one-hit style" does not mean attacking only once, but winning with a single blow, and that blow must come from Ma Hongjun, who has the strongest explosive power.

"Second Soul Skill: Phoenix Reborn from the Ashes; Third Soul Skill: Phoenix Wings Soaring Through the Sky."

As expected, Ma Hongjun began to gather his strength. Both of his moves were enhanced soul skills. The Phoenix Reborn in Fire provided all-around defense while increasing the power of the flames by 30%.

Phoenix Wings Soaring in the Sky increases flight ability, and the flame power of the next attack is increased by 100%, while the attack range is increased by 50%.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Phoenix Roaring Sky Strike!"

Finally, there is the powerful attack soul skill, Phoenix Roar Strike. This move is extremely powerful, but it cannot lock onto the opponent, so it requires someone skilled in control to assist.

Because Tang San's Blue Silver Grass lost its immortal herb and fourth soul ring, it not only lost its immunity to both water and fire, but its toughness was also far inferior to that in the original story. In less than two seconds, it was broken by the seven people from Zi Xing.

"Is one bundle of seven still too much of a stretch?" Tang San frowned. "However, two seconds will be enough."

Within those two seconds, Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Roaring Strike struck from behind, stunning his opponent first. Then, a burst of magma erupted from the ground, amplified by Phoenix Wings Soaring, covering everyone within its range.

In an instant, all seven were blasted away by the powerful blow and fell to the ground, unable to get up.

If it weren't for Jiangzhu constantly providing treatment for them, they would probably be severely injured or even dead. Now, they can fully recover after a few months of rest.

One move, seven kills—this is the so-called one-hit-kill tactic. After consuming the Phoenix Sunflower, Ma Hongjun's explosive power is terrifying and astonishing.

Qin Ming's eyes shone even brighter. "It's such a pity. This child is already the dean's disciple. Otherwise, I might have tried to compete for him too. His cultivation path is exactly the same as mine, and we are both fire-attribute. We are really destined to be together."

Chapter 153 Tianlin's Attitude Towards the Spirit Hall

"Then why don't you come to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Teacher Qin? Hongjun will come to the sect to cultivate after graduation. You can train him however you want, even to the point of exhaustion." In order to recruit people, Tianlin didn't hesitate to sell out Ma Hongjun.

What Ma Hongjun lacks most is the determination to become stronger at all costs. It would be good to find a strict teacher to supervise him.

Qin Ming smiled and said, "I can consider it!"

At the location of Blazing Fire Academy, Huo Wu looked at her brother Huo Wushuang and said, "Brother, Ma Hongjun's explosive power seems to be even stronger than your One-Horned Fire Typhoon. If he were from our academy, that would be great. When the dragon and phoenix emerge together, we would definitely be invincible."

Huo Wushuang did not deny it; he also knew that his one-horned fire typhoon was far inferior to the opponent's fire phoenix.

Tianshui Academy's captain, Shui Bing'er, also looked in Shrek Academy's direction and murmured to herself, "Fire Phoenix, why can he use it so perfectly?"

Shui Bing'er possesses the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, which is comparable to Ma Hongjun's, but like Ma Hongjun back then, her Martial Soul has flaws.

The difference is that this flaw has no effect on Shui Bing'er herself. Rather, it is because her martial soul is too powerful that once it is fully unleashed, Shui Bing'er herself cannot control it and it is easy to cause irreparable damage to others. She is a kind girl, so she always deliberately suppresses her strength to below the seventh level in every battle. Her greatest wish is to find a way to perfectly control the Phoenix martial soul.

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly in the audience. Today's two matches between Huang Dou and Shrek Academy undoubtedly demonstrated the future of their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Whether it's Tian Lin, who reached the Soul King realm at a young age, Ma Hongjun, the Phoenix Soul Master with explosive power, or Oscar, a food-type genius who is rare in a century, they all prove that the sect has a profound foundation.

Keep in mind that his own daughter Ning Rongrong and Gu Ran, the disciple of Bone Douluo, haven't even made an appearance yet.

"Spirit Hall, your strength is greater than that of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but your Golden Generation may not be able to dominate the younger generation. Not to mention Xiao Tian, ​​the others will catch up soon." Ning Fengzhi thought confidently.

The day's competition came to an end, and everyone went back to their respective places. Tianlin did not go to find Rongrong and the others. Theoretically speaking, they were now opponents, and they should avoid suspicion at this time. Tianlin even hoped that Rongrong would be able to give it her all when facing him later.

Back at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, Tian Lin opened the door and saw Xue Qinghe calmly sitting at his desk drinking tea.

This guy is becoming more and more like a family member; coming to his place feels just like coming home.

"Xiao Tian, ​​you're back! Congratulations on your successful start."

"Brother Xue, you didn't even come to watch my match, yet you knew I won?" Tianlin laughed.

“I also wanted to come and cheer for you, but Father has already gone to watch the match. The government affairs can’t be left unattended, so only I, the Crown Prince, can come.” Xue Qinghe said helplessly. “However, although I didn’t go to watch the match, I don’t think anyone else can stop you before you meet the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall. I heard that your opponent today is Elephant Armor Academy. Obviously, they’re here for you. Hu Yanli was just released to gather intelligence.”

“That’s right, it must be the Spirit Hall. It seems they are quite wary of me. Don’t you think I should feel honored?” Tianlin moved a chair and sat down next to Xue Qinghe, crossed his legs, rested his arm on the table, and looked at her with a smile.

Since absorbing the million-year-old spiritual skull, the disguise that previously required opening the external soul bone to see through can now be seen through by Tian Lin. Qian Renxue is completely visible to Tian Lin whenever he wants. Outsiders can only see Xue Qinghe, but he can see Qian Renxue.

"You're getting more and more irresponsible. Sit up straight. If Sword Douluo sees you like this, he'll think I've corrupted you and come after me. What if he does that?" Qian Renxue straightened Tianlin like an older sister.

"What does it matter? It's just us here, Master won't know. Besides, it would be too tiring to pretend to be the same as usual in front of my best brother Xue." Tianlin stretched and said easily.

Chen Xin, Ning Fengzhi, and the others are all quite serious, so Tian Lin has always acted quite composed in front of them. As for outsiders, Tian Lin would never show his true self. In this world, besides his parents, only Ning Rongrong and Qian Renxue have ever seen Tian Lin like this.

"Sigh, whatever, whatever you want, I really can't do anything with you." Qian Renxue sighed and continued, "Xiao Tian, ​​in the next few days, you will probably encounter other formidable opponents. I'm afraid each match will allow you to show more of your strength, so you must be careful."

"Don't worry, I expected this. Besides, the purpose of my friends and I participating in this tournament is to spar with various powerful individuals, which suits me perfectly." Tianlin rubbed his hands together, very confident.

Seeing his expression, Qian Renxue was completely relieved. However, she immediately thought of something. "Xiao Tian, ​​the Spirit Hall has been targeting you like this. Do you hate them? There are also many people outside who are dissatisfied with the Spirit Hall's domineering attitude."

She couldn't help but ask the question, fearing that one day, when her true identity was exposed, Tianlin would also despise her.

Looking at Qian Renxue's melancholy eyes beneath her true appearance, Tianlin honestly shook his head, "Actually, I don't hate the Spirit Hall at all. In fact, I've never considered the Spirit Hall as an evil force."

"The Spirit Hall provides free spirit awakening for ordinary people, which alone is a great kindness to the common people of the continent. However, there are two important reasons why its reputation is getting worse and worse. One is that the two great empires have intervened. Although the Spirit Hall's spirit masters are indeed powerful, their population base is far smaller than that of the two great empires. In terms of public opinion, they are no match for the two great empires."

"Secondly, there is the current Pope. Although she is hailed as the most outstanding Pope in history, that is only in terms of strength. In terms of leadership, she is completely incompetent. That is why many of the current heads of the Martial Soul Branch Halls and even the Holy Temple are shameless scoundrels who disregard human life, such as Salas and the head of the Martial Soul Main Hall in Gengxin City."

"While it is true that where there is light, there is also darkness, especially for a behemoth like the Spirit Hall, where there is bound to be shadow under its immense size, the area illuminated by the light must be larger than the area covered by the shadow. Brother Xue, I think what the Spirit Hall needs now is a truly broad-minded and wise pope. Only in this way can it better guide the development of the continent."

Tianlin's words were deliberately meant for Qian Renxue to hear. Some things should be taken back, and Bibi Dong, that madwoman, is not worthy of the papacy.

Qian Xunji did wrong her, but she also wronged Qian Xunji and the Spirit Hall by disregarding the Spirit Hall's years of nurturing for Yu Xiaogang.

Besides, she had already killed Qian Xunji with her own hands. She should have avenged any great hatred she had, yet she still took her anger out on others. In the original ending, she said that her goal was to destroy the Spirit Hall, destroy the Douluo Continent, and destroy herself.

But she was only raped by Qian Xunji, not gang-raped by everyone on the continent. Qian Xunji is dead, so why take her anger out on others?

Tianlin didn't know if her dying words about destroying the continent were sincere or just a momentary outburst, but he dared not gamble, nor could he afford to, because if he lost, it would be a disaster for the continent.

Even if Bibi Dong might not have had this idea originally, her mindset might change after being influenced by Rakshasa God. Therefore, rather than gambling on whether Bibi Dong is a madwoman or not, it's safer to choose Qian Renxue, who has a better mindset.

If one day, Qian Renxue comes to unify the continent, treats the people well, and guarantees that not a single brick or tile of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will be damaged, Tianlin will surely provide full assistance as promised.

Of course, that's unrealistic, because for ordinary people, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is equivalent to nobility. The Spirit Hall can't leave such an exception when it unifies the continent. This is also an unavoidable selfishness of Tianlin. The happiness of the continent can only be ranked below the happiness of his own family. At most, he can restrain his sect disciples from abusing their power and oppressing the people. Sacrificing for them is impossible for him.

Therefore, the method that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm mentioned was indeed the only way for them to coexist; he wanted to become a common deterrent force for both the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Before that, Qian Renxue must reclaim the Pope's throne. Even if she does, the two sides will still have to be hostile for a period of time. This is because, even if they cooperate, Tianlin will be the dominant party. Therefore, he will inevitably defeat the Spirit Hall's attacks time and time again, severely damaging but not fatally injuring them. Until one day, Qian Renxue realizes that as long as she is an enemy of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she will never be able to unify the continent. Then she will take the initiative to request cooperation.

If Qian Renxue never understands this point, then Tian Lin can do nothing. He can only say that the time for the unification of the continent has not yet come, and he can only do everything in his power to annihilate the Spirit Hall.

Tianlin's words made Qian Renxue fall into deep thought. Just then, he suddenly lay down deliberately, "Forget it, that has nothing to do with us. After all, I am from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and you are the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. Why do you care so much about the Spirit Hall?"

After saying that, he sat down on the edge of the bed. "Brother Xue, let's cultivate the power of Heavenly Snow. Before the finals, every bit of strength we can gain is a bonus."

“Alright, you’re right. This is none of our business. The most important thing is to cultivate.” Qian Renxue agreed on the surface, but in her heart she was thinking, “Xiao Tian is right. If this continues, the Spirit Hall will be destroyed by that woman sooner or later. The position of Pope originally belonged to my Qian family of the Angel Clan. One day, I will take it back!”

Chapter 154 Against the Divine Wind Soul King Gu Ran

"Everyone, your opponent for today has been revealed: Kamikaze!"

In the Royal Battle lounge, Qin Ming pushed open the door and walked in. His expression wasn't too good. They had encountered the Five Elements Academy one after another; their luck in the Royal Battle was just too bad.

Moreover, Kamikaze is the strongest among the current Five Elements Academy students; is it really necessary to be so blatant about behind-the-scenes manipulation?

At this moment, Feng Xiaotian was even more annoyed than Qin Ming. After all, Huang Dou fighting Shen Feng only required a little more effort than fighting other academies, but Shen Feng's chances of winning against Huang Dou were almost zero.

Fortunately, the top five in the qualifiers can advance to the knockout stage, so losing one game is not a big deal. If it were a knockout tournament, Kamikaze would probably be packing his bags by now.

“Kamikaze, then, for this match, I’ll step down and Gu Ran will come on,” Tian Lin suggested.

"What?" Qin Ming asked in confusion, "Xiao Tian, ​​the Divine Wind is much stronger than the Elephant Armor, so why did you choose to back down when facing them?"

“This is not a retreat. My soul power was already demonstrated in the first match. No one would think that I didn’t participate because I was afraid of Shenfeng. Besides, Gu Ran also needs experience. Since reaching the Soul King level, he hasn’t really fought anyone. This won’t do,” Tianlin explained.

“I know Feng Xiaotian. He possesses a benign mutated martial soul, the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf, and is born with full soul power. If he hadn’t spent too much time on his self-created soul skill, the Gale Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes, his soul power would not be much lower than Tian Heng’s. Even now, his strength is enough to rival that of a typical high-level Soul Master.”

"I hope that Gu Ran can reach the point where he can face one of the Golden Generation members of the Spirit Hall alone at this conference. The challenge with Feng Xiaotian will serve as a test for him."

Qin Ming nodded. "You're right. We're all part of the Royal Fighting Team, and we should all be qualified to fight for the team. Besides, Gu Ran has already reached the Soul King level, so I have no worries about him replacing you. So go ahead, Gu Ran."

"Yes, boss, Teacher Qin, I won't let you down!" Gu Ran stood up excitedly. He had been itching to play since he couldn't play in the last game.

The second round of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament has officially begun.

All twenty-eight teams have gathered at the venue today because they cannot afford to underestimate today's competition. One is Shenfeng, currently the strongest team among the Five Elements Academy, and the other is Huangdou, a powerful team capable of challenging the Spirit Hall Academy. This match is sure to attract a lot of attention.

Everyone wanted to see how the young Soul King Tianlin would perform against Shenfeng.

But they were destined to be disappointed today. Tianlin had no intention of playing. He no longer cared much about this competition. After all, if he were to unleash his full power, even a Soul Saint might not be able to defeat him, and he could easily annihilate the souls of the three Soul Kings from the Spirit Hall.

Instead of wasting my own time, I should give Gu Ran and the others more opportunities to gain experience.

Looking at the seven members of the Royal Fighting Team walking onto the stage, Feng Xiaotian felt no relief, but rather immense anger. "What do you mean by Royal Fighting Team? Are you looking down on my Divine Wind? Where is Jun Tianlin? Let him come up here."

"Brother, isn't Jun Tianlin going too far? He's not even going on stage. Does he think Shenfeng is inferior to Xiangjia?" Huo Wu was also a little unhappy. Apart from Xiangjia Academy, which had already been confirmed to join the Spirit Hall, the other four Five Elements Academy were always closely connected. She also felt indignant for Shenfeng.

Huo Wushuang gripped the railing tightly. "No, I think in Jun Tianlin's eyes, Shenfeng and Xiangjia are the same. He doesn't take them seriously at all. His appearance yesterday was just to show off his strength and intimidate the various academies."

On the Tianshui Academy side, Shui Bing'er made the same judgment as Huo Wushuang: "In other words, Xiang Jia just happened to be there when Tian Lin was willing to appear. It's hard to say whether they were lucky or unlucky."

Hearing the heated discussion in the audience, Gu Ran didn't say a word. At this moment, any rebuttal would be useless. What he needed was to demonstrate his strength.

"Go, Gu Ran, let everyone see the strength of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's future Guardian Douluo!" As his master, Gu Rong naturally supported his disciple unconditionally at this moment.

"It's so noisy, Gu Ran, tell everyone to shut up!" Tian Lin said, crossing his arms.

With the ancient skeleton of the warhorse possessing him, soul rings appeared one after another, two yellow, two purple and one black, undoubtedly making him a Soul King level powerhouse.

"How is this possible? Besides the Sword Lord, Huang Dou actually has a Soul King!" This time, Salas was truly shocked.

Their Spirit Hall was focused entirely on how to deal with Tianlin. Who would have thought that Gu Ran, who was usually inconspicuous, would actually overtake them and even surpass the captain and vice-captain Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan to enter the Soul King level, catching up with their golden generation.

"Salas, why are you so agitated? His disciple is a Soul King, but my disciple can't? Do you look down on me?" Gu Rong asked, feigning concern.

"I wouldn't dare, Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand. I was merely overly surprised. It's truly a joy to have such a disciple," Salas said with a forced smile. Although he was a Platinum Bishop, he was ultimately only a Soul Douluo, and his status was still somewhat inferior to that of Gu Rong, a Title Douluo.

"I underestimated the Imperial Battle. Even without Sword Lord, they are still formidable. Prepare for battle. Leave that Soul King to me." Feng Xiaotian, possessed by the Demon Wolf, suppressed his earlier anger. Faced with such a lineup, he had no right to be angry.
