Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

Chen Xin didn't even use the Seven Kill Sword Dao, let alone the ordinary Seven Kill Sword Technique. The Seven Kill Sword simply blocked Tang Hao's attack and sent him flying back.

This is absolute soul power suppression. Tang Hao exclaimed in shock, "Such powerful soul power! Even without the Explosion Ring, my Great Sumeru Hammer is not so easy to withstand, unless his level has reached level 97 or above."

"Tang Hao, even if we fight one-on-one now, I can kill you. However, I don't want to waste my time. Besides, you didn't really attack Eagle back then. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has always been one to settle as many grudges as possible." Chen Xin said calmly. He knew that Ning Fengzhi still planned to use Tang Hao, so he didn't intend to really kill him today.

"I'll say it again: I will never give Ah Yin's soul bone or the sect's inherited soul bone to outsiders. However, I'm willing to compensate Yin Yang. Give me some time, and I'll send other soul bones." Circumstances dictate his actions. Tang Hao still had a great grudge to avenge, and he also had to take care of Ah Yin. He had no choice but to soften his stance slightly, but his bottom line remained clear: he would never back down when it came to Ah Yin and the Clear Sky Sect. He was prepared to fight to the death today.

“Okay, but I’ll say it again: an incident caused by a 100,000-year-old soul beast must be repaid with the same 100,000-year-old soul bone. But considering the close ties between the three upper sects, I can give you a 30% discount.” Ning Fengzhi decided, “Within three years, whether you directly provide a 70,000-year-old soul bone, two 35,000-year-old soul bones, or even seventy 1,000-year-old soul bones, as long as the total time exceeds 70,000 years, this matter will be considered settled.”

Tang Hao nodded. "Thank you. I agree to your request. Back then, I forced Yin Yang to make a martial soul oath. Now, I'm returning one to you."

"No need. I still believe in your promise to Haotian Douluo. And since we can find you now, it means we can find you anytime in the future. If you break your promise, it won't be as easy to let it go as it is today. In addition, I have another request. You can obtain the soul bone, but you cannot hunt soul beasts indiscriminately for the soul bone, or harm other ordinary innocent soul masters who possess soul bones. Such bloodshed cannot be borne by my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. If I find out that you have gone on a killing spree for the soul bone, not only will I not accept you, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will also hunt you down to the ends of the earth." Ning Fengzhi gave a cold warning at the end.

Unexpectedly, a support-type Soul Master could exude such astonishing killing intent.

"Hmph, don't worry, I have my own way of doing things."

Tang Hao hadn't intended to do this. Besides being a disciple of the Haotian Sect, he also had other identities: the master of the Power Clan and one of the three great master craftsmen of the entire continent.

In addition, Titan is also the vice president of the Blacksmiths' Guild and has a close relationship with Lou Gao. With the combined power of the three great blacksmiths, it is not entirely impossible for them to create a large number of top-quality equipment to exchange for a few soul bones.

Furthermore, Ning Fengzhi said that innocent soul masters should not be killed, but there are still quite a few evil soul masters and bandits on this continent. It's just that in most cases, they dare not do evil because they are afraid of the Spirit Hall.

As long as you go to the outskirts that even the Spirit Hall can't control, you can always find some. They usually rely on hunting wild spirit beasts to obtain spirit bones or forcibly taking other spirit masters for a living, so they might have some in stock.

His idea was not bad. In the original story, Dai Mubai's first soul bone was obtained by killing wolf bandits on their way to the edge of the continent and out to sea.

This certainly did not violate Ning Fengzhi's requirements, and could even be considered as eliminating a scourge for the people.

“Alright, then we’ll take our leave now.” Ning Fengzhi nodded, stepped onto Chen Xin’s longsword, and suddenly turned back and said, “By the way, Tang Hao, find some time to go back to the Clear Sky Sect. The Spirit Hall’s ambitions are obvious. The Clear Sky Sect has been hiding for long enough, but you can’t hide forever. It’s time to come out and show yourselves.”

His original idea remained unchanged: to bring out the Haotian Sect to shield them from disaster.

However, this time it coincided with Tang Hao's idea, because Tang Hao also wanted to help the sect rise again. Is this timid and submissive appearance still the same Haotian Sect that once dominated the world?

"I understand, thank you for reminding me," Tang Hao replied.

The four then said no more and flew away on their swords. Watching their backs, Tang Hao's face was very ugly. This was the first time in his life that he had compromised.

What puzzled him even more was how the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School found him. He was quite certain that when he took Tang San away from the Spirit Hall, no one was following them.

He suspected that Tang San had been tampered with, so he immediately examined him, but unfortunately, Tang San was perfectly normal and he found nothing wrong.

That's natural. Even for Haotian Douluo, it would be absolutely impossible to discover traces of a million-year-old soul skill, which is ten times older than his ninth soul ring.

"Father!" At this moment, Tang San slowly woke up. Tian Lin's mental impact was not severe to begin with, and with his mental strength, he wouldn't be unconscious for long.

"Where are Jun Tianlin and the others?" Tang San asked.

"I'm leaving. Don't worry, the matter has been resolved. You can continue practicing your skills." Tang Hao didn't intend to tell Tang San what had happened.

Firstly, he was afraid that Tang San would encounter danger if he went with him to hunt down evil spirit masters and wolf bandits. Secondly, he was afraid that Tang San would develop the idea of ​​causing trouble for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. After all, their real enemy was the Spirit Hall, and it was not appropriate to provoke more powerful enemies at this time.

Although Tang Hao's tone was very calm, Tang San was extremely shrewd. Having lived two lives, his experience was no less than Tang Hao's. He could tell that Tang Hao's seemingly calm words still contained anger.

Clearly, even if Tang Hao did not hand over his mother's soul bone, he must have agreed to some conditions from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Damn Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, damn Jun Tianlin!" Tang San's expression remained unchanged, but he roared inwardly. All he did was force his grandfather to make a poisonous oath, and he didn't even actually do anything. Now they're making his father pay compensation. He will avenge his father one day.

But the thought of Ning Fengzhi and Jun Tianlin's blood-red, 100,000-year soul rings filled him with a sense of powerlessness. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was too powerful; in his current state, he couldn't even withstand a single glance from Jun Tianlin, let alone deal with the entire sect.

"If only I had a 100,000-year spirit ring!" Tang San felt an indescribable surge of envy and jealousy.

Chapter 227 Ning Fengzhi's Scheme: Tianlin's Current Weaknesses

"Uncle Ning, why did you give Tang Hao a discount? Wouldn't it have been better to make it a full 100,000 years? Why waste his soul bone like this?" On the way back, Tianlin finally couldn't help but ask.

He had absolutely no intention of making things convenient for Tang Hao.

Ning Fengzhi replied, "Because compared to empty promises, only what we have in our hands is truly ours. A lifespan of 100,000 years is too long, and soul bones are extremely rare. Given Tang Hao's personality, if he can't gather the necessary materials, he won't do anything like installment payments."

"Because he's worried that even if he gives us a soul bone with a lifespan of 90,000 years, we'll still cause him trouble if we can't find the last 10,000 years. In that case, wouldn't the 90,000 years given first be aiding the enemy? Therefore, he will definitely collect enough years before handing it over all at once," Ning Fengzhi explained.

"Seventy thousand years is not a problem for Tang Hao. His most loyal subordinate, Titan, has a 35,000-year-old right arm bone of the Thousand-Pound Ant King. Titan obtained it by chance when hunting his eighth spirit ring. He did not absorb it himself and planned to leave it to his grandson, Tailong. However, because of the principle that 'a common man is innocent but possessing a treasure is a crime,' he was worried that Tailong would accidentally reveal it and be assassinated to take the bone. So he kept it himself, planning to let Tailong absorb it after breaking through level fifty and having a certain ability to protect himself. But if Tang Hao wants it, Titan will definitely give it to him."

"Then there's Gengxin City. A blacksmith competition will be held there in a year. According to the information I've received, the champion of this competition will receive a soul bone. Although I don't know its age, it should be no less than ten thousand years old. Unfortunately, the blacksmiths of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are all very ordinary. Even if we participate, we have no chance of winning. So let Tang Hao help us snatch it."

"In this way, the total lifespan of the soul bones will reach around 50,000 years, leaving only 20,000 years. With Haotian Douluo's abilities, whether he buys them at auctions or steals them from evil soul masters or wolf bandits, he shouldn't be unable to obtain even this much. Therefore, I deduce that within three years, a total of 70,000 years is the limit he can achieve. Any more than that, besides slaughtering soul beasts, the only other way is to make him degrade and cut off his own hand. With his pride, he wouldn't stoop to such a low level."

Ning Fengzhi had once again outmaneuvered him. Tianlin admitted that he was right about one thing: only what was in his hands was truly his. If Tang Hao couldn't gather the 100,000 years' worth, he certainly wouldn't give him a single piece.

It would be more practical to give him a request that he can fulfill.

Moreover, this is like giving a big stick first and then a sweet date. Ning Fengzhi first gave him a discount and didn't even need him to swear a martial soul oath to express his trust. With Tang Hao's intelligence, he has probably been unknowingly led astray by Ning Fengzhi and even thinks that Ning Fengzhi is a good person who values ​​family as much as he does. Although he has to stand up for his family, he still cares about the friendship between the three upper sects.

However, Tianlin was very curious about one thing: how did Ning Fengzhi know about Titan's family? A soul bone of 35,000 years is a priceless treasure. Titan would not be so foolish as to reveal it. Even his own grandson, Tyrone, might not know about it.

Seemingly noticing Tianlin's confusion, Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "You don't need to be surprised. When Titan was hunting for his eighth spirit ring, his original goal was a spirit beast that was at least 70,000 years old. However, at that time, he was only at the level of a Spirit Saint, which was not enough for him. Therefore, he came to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and asked us to send a spirit master from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to assist him. I did not refuse, so at that time, I sent a direct disciple to accompany him along with Elder Yin Yang."

"As a result, soul beasts over 70,000 years old, especially those of the strength type, are extremely rare. The only one that can be confirmed is the Titan Giant Ape. Even if the three of them were tied together, they would not be a match for the Titan Giant Ape. In the end, they had to settle for a 35,000-year-old Thousand-Pound Ant. Unexpectedly, things took an unexpected turn, and a soul bone was dropped. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School never does anything by force or robbery, so we agreed to keep it a secret. Therefore, apart from Titan himself, only our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School knows about this."

How terrifying Ning Fengzhi is! He remembers everything so clearly. It seems that when Tian Lin said he wanted to settle accounts with Tang Hao, he had already planned how to trick Tang Hao, and even trick him so that Tang Hao would be grateful.

As expected, he was the boss among the group. Chen Xin was just a henchman, Yin Yang was the victim, and Tian Lin was just a guide.

“Xiao Tian, ​​don’t feel like you’ve lost out. I’ll find a chance to make him pay back the remaining 60,000 years later,” Ning Fengzhi said.

Tianlin was taken aback and asked, "Sixty thousand years? Wasn't it thirty thousand years? Did I fail my math test again?"

"We have to collect some interest!" Ning Fengzhi laughed. Faced with high-quality soul bones, he completely forgot about the saying that the three upper sects were of one mind. Anyway, he never thought about truly forming an alliance with the Haotian Sect. It was just mutual exploitation. As long as Tang Hao and his son were not really killed for the time being, Tang Xiao would not do anything.

As for those Haotian Elders, some of them probably wish Tang Hao were dead.

"Damn it, I didn't expect Uncle Ning to be so vindictive. I tricked Uncle Ning because of Xue Qinghe before, does he still remember it? With his IQ, I can't outsmart him." After hearing Ning Fengzhi's scheme, Tianlin sighed silently in his heart.

"Xiao Tian, ​​don't worry. I won't use my brain to scheme against my own people. In the future, if you have anything to say, you can just tell me directly. There's no need to play the game of acting first and asking for permission later. As long as your request is reasonable, I might agree to it." Looking at Tian Lin's expression, Ning Fengzhi slowly comforted him.

But his words of comfort struck Tianlin like a thunderbolt; indeed, he still remembered.

"Xiao Tian, ​​your sect leader has a skull with his own soul bone skill, which is mind reading. Although I have no proof, I am very certain of it," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said confidently. If he didn't have such a soul skill, how could he have so thoroughly schemed against everyone?

"Um, Uncle Ning, you and Master should go back first. I need to go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. I have to keep my promise to the Blue Silver King. I'm leaving now!" Tianlin just wanted to slip away at this moment. Without waiting for Ning Fengzhi's reply, he changed direction with his demonic sword and flew towards Sunset Forest.

"Fengzhi, you seem to have scared Xiaotian," Chenxin said helplessly.

"Hehe, what he's going to do in the future is very dangerous. There are many people smarter than me in the two great empires and the Spirit Hall. If he wants to achieve great things, he must learn to adapt to scheming and, in turn, scheme against others," Ning Fengzhi said calmly.

In Ning Fengzhi's view, Tianlin's talent in martial soul cultivation is beyond doubt. As long as he is given time, it is only a matter of time before he reaches the pinnacle of the continent.

However, he also has several major flaws. First, he doesn't know how to calculate. Tianlin is quite smart, but unfortunately, he's only clever in a superficial way and lacks the wisdom to think three steps ahead. I can help him with this. The second problem is that he's not ruthless enough and always likes to leave himself some room for maneuver.

Back when he accompanied Chen Xin on his training expeditions, he would never kill unless he was certain his opponent was a truly wicked person or a formidable enemy capable of threatening his life. Even if some petty thugs were foolish enough to provoke him, he would at most throw a few punches and call it a day.

If Tianlin only wanted to be a sect-protecting Douluo, then this flaw wouldn't matter; in fact, it could be considered a benevolent virtue. But now his goal is to promote the unification of the entire continent. The so-called destruction before construction means that this dream will inevitably be accompanied by endless killing. Therefore, his current somewhat womanly compassion is extremely fatal.

Because the enemies on the road to realizing one's dreams are not all villains, nor are they all strongmen; some are just ordinary soldiers with different stances. In that case, would he still show mercy? If things go wrong, a situation like the farmer and the snake could arise, harming both himself and others.

Ning Fengzhi was now thinking about how to make Tianlin as decisive and ruthless as Chenxin.

Otherwise, with the sword sheathed, who can it kill?

Chapter 228 The Devilish Training of Transplanting Blue Silver King Qin Ming

After parting ways with Ning Fengzhi and the others, Tianlin went to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well alone and, as agreed, planted the Blue Silver King in the best location.

"Holy Spirit Orb's First Soul Skill, Holy Breath Heals All Wounds!"

Tianlin opened his Holy Spirit Domain and used the Holy Spirit Pearl's healing soul skill, which could not only heal injuries but also replenish qi and blood.

At this moment, Blue Silver King was just like Ah Yin in the original story who absorbed Tang San's blood essence, and his recovery efficiency was greatly improved.

The small blue silver grass trembled slightly, as if expressing its gratitude to Tianlin.

Tianlin did force it to sacrifice itself, but its compensation gave Blue Silver King a better future. Therefore, Blue Silver King did not actually harbor any hatred towards Tianlin.

Tianlin will also, as he promised, frequently use his Holy Spirit domain to help it grow.

After all, this Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is not only extremely beneficial to Blue Silver King, but also to Tianlin himself. The ice and fire power here is incredibly dense, which can effectively compensate for the slow progress in cultivating ultimate attributes.

However, Tianlin is now truly facing a major bottleneck.

"Level 60 to 70 is indeed the ultimate test of extreme attributes. Even with the help of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, my soul power growth rate is still less than 70% of what it used to be." Tianlin meditated for half a day and found that even with the environment and domain, his current cultivation speed was at most comparable to that of an ordinary innate level 7 soul master.

This speed wasn't exactly slow, but Tianlin hoped to break through the level 70 bottleneck before the Soul Hunting Operation.

In this way, the martial god summoned will be close to the strength of himself at the level of a Soul Douluo.

Back when Chrysanthemum Pass's strength had regressed to around level 91, he would have needed to expend a lot of his soul power before he was confident in killing him. But if it were him in his Soul Douluo era, killing him would be as easy as taking candy from a baby.

Only with such strength can one truly contribute to the Soul Hunting Operation.

Tianlin stood up and shook his head helplessly. "Well, there's nothing we can do about the slow progress in cultivation. Although the ultimate attribute is powerful, there are always trade-offs."

"Senior, you can continue cultivating here. The holy aura I left behind will last for several months."

After bidding farewell to the Blue Silver King, Tianlin flew back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School on his sword.

At this moment, a very tragic scene is unfolding here. Ever since Ning Fengzhi and the others agreed to hand Ma Hongjun over to Qin Ming, Qin Ming has begun to subject him to inhumane training, which has been very effective. Before long, Ma Hongjun's combat ability has improved considerably.

After all, as fellow explosive fire-type soul masters, Qin Ming's combat experience is very valuable for Ma Hongjun to learn from.

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi then handed over the training to Ning Rongrong, Meng Yiran, Oscar, and the others.

"You lot, get moving! Rongrong, your footwork is wonderful, but the movements are too large, which consumes a lot of energy. When Tianlin uses your footwork, he can keep the movements to a minimum. From now on, I will keep attacking you with fireballs. You must learn how to dodge attacks with the simplest movement."

"Oscar, you can eat your mushroom sausage and stealth sausage first. That way, you can pass the sausage to your teammates as quickly and discreetly as possible. Why did you throw them one by one? It's time-consuming and makes them easy for the enemy to intercept. Are you trying to aid the enemy?"

"Ma Hongjun, from now on, besides meditation and learning the explosive fighting style from me, you need to spend the rest of your time exercising and losing weight. The most important thing for an explosive-type Soul Master is to hit the opponent; otherwise, with our weak endurance, we'll easily fall into a passive position. You must maintain a well-proportioned physique to make your movements more agile."

"Everything else is still good. You are very skilled in using your family's self-created soul skills. However, your soul power is starting to lag behind others. You must know that soul power is the foundation of everything. Starting today, you will have two more hours of meditation time."

Qin Ming's roars made the former Shrek Academy kids suffer terribly. This was even more excessive than the Grandmaster's training. The Grandmaster only made them run laps, but Qin Ming's training was far too targeted.

Gu Ran and Ye Lingling had already returned to their sect. They didn't want to get involved. They had finally managed to get out of Qin Ming's clutches, so why would they impulsively go back into trouble?

Gu Ran didn't even want to care about her own boss anymore, and decided to take Lingling away from this troublesome place as soon as possible.

"Teacher Qin, you're still so strict." Tianlin landed on the plaza on his sword.

Seeing him return was like seeing a savior for Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, and the others.

Ma Hongjun knelt down at Tianlin's feet and pleaded, "Boss, save me! Cut off my hand! I don't want this Flame Right Arm Soul Bone, just free me from Senior Qin's clutches."

“Sure!” Tianlin smiled. “However, you can only remove the soul bone after you reach level 90, by reducing the level by 10. Until then, you should just accept your fate.”

Hearing Tianlin's words, Ma Hongjun was filled with despair. After reaching level 90, he would have to wait forever.

He suddenly felt a little envious of Zhu Zhuqing. Because of her faked death, she couldn't be exposed to the public and had been cultivating alone in the bamboo forest. Apart from a few of them occasionally bringing her some daily necessities, no one else would bother her.
