Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword
Page 105
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi nodded in satisfaction. He knew that Tianlin had already understood his unspoken meaning.
The thought processes of this father-in-law and son-in-law are clearly not on the same level as those four titled Douluo who only know how to fight.
"By the way, old monster, this should be returned to you!" Tianlin took out a bead from his pocket and tossed it to Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo reached out and caught it; it was the inner core containing half of his own strength. "Haha, little monster, how was it? Did this inner core help you along the way?"
"Of course, thanks to your inner core, the difficulty of my journey through Hell Road was reduced by at least 30%." Tianlin laughed. "I won't thank you anymore. If there's a chance later, I'll definitely give you a big return gift."
Dugu Bo felt relieved. The little monster was still the same little monster. The City of Slaughter might have changed some of his weakness for being too kind, but it hadn't changed his personality. If someone was kind to him, he would definitely repay them tenfold.
Tianlin told the group about the situation in his Slaughter City, including the fact that he had found the divine inheritance. This greatly surprised Ning Fengzhi and the others. They seemed to see a god belonging to their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School covering the world with his divine power.
After giving his report, Tianlin, along with Ning Rongrong and Gu Ran, bid farewell to Ning Fengzhi and the others, preparing to leave the Seven Treasures Hall. Just as they reached the main gate, Ning Fengzhi suddenly remembered something and anxiously called out, "By the way, Xiaotian, your room is cleaned every day, and the calendar is updated every day!"
Tianlin paused, turned around and said, "I understand, thank you for reminding me, Uncle Ning."
Ning Fengzhi was indeed still concerned about the Soul Hunting Operation. Judging by the time, that move was indeed almost ready to be used again.
Chapter 248 Reunion
"Boss, didn't you call me and Big Sister over here because you said you had something to tell us?" Gu Ran asked doubtfully as they left the main hall. They had only come to pay their respects, and it seemed like they weren't needed at all.
Tianlin smiled and said, "It's nothing really. I just prepared gifts for you and Rongrong, but not for anyone else, so I had to call you out separately."
Although Tianlin's favoritism wasn't new, he still had to appear fair and just to the outside world, keeping his biased actions to himself.
As he spoke, Tianlin opened his soul tool and took out a piece of jet-black right arm bone. "Gu Ran, this is a ten-thousand-year-old right arm bone. Its soul skill is a restriction skill that turns one's soul power into chains. It can make up for your current shortcomings. Take it."
"A soul bone, and it's even a ten-thousand-year-level one! Thank you, boss!" Gu Ran trembled as he accepted the soul bone. He already had two, and if he absorbed this one, he probably wouldn't have as many soul bones as many titled Douluo.
He was truly grateful to Tianlin. In fact, Tianlin's help to him even surpassed that of his master, Gu Rong. Without Tianlin, he would have fallen behind in the Royal Battle long ago.
But now, not only has he not fallen behind, but he is now among the top performers. This is all thanks to the immortal herbs, cultivation techniques, numerous soul bones, and the Illusory Water Thunder that Tianlin gave him.
“There’s no need for such formalities between brothers. After absorbing this soul bone, your soul power should reach sixty. You can start thinking about getting your sixth soul ring.”
"Yes, boss, don't worry, I won't let you down." Gu Ran left happily with the soul bone. Such an important treasure naturally needed to be absorbed in a safe place.
"Brother Sword, what about my gift? Is it also a soul bone?" Ning Rongrong stretched out a hand and asked Tian Lin for it without any hesitation. She really had no shame about her future husband.
"It's not a soul bone, but its value is not much less. This is it, the strongest attack talisman I developed, Demonic Flame Flash Slash!"
Tianlin placed a talisman in Rongrong's hand. He had researched the talisman to hunt the Behemoth, but it was rendered useless by the overwhelming power of the 100,000-year heavenly tribulation. He carried it for self-defense in the City of Slaughter, but no one there could pose a threat to him, so it had been sitting idle until now.
"Demon Flame Flash Slash! Is that the talisman you told me about that can kill a Title Douluo?" Ning Rongrong exclaimed. For a Soul Master of her current level, this talisman was indeed more precious than a Soul Bone, because it was like giving her an extra life.
"So Rongrong, you should use it with caution. This thing is very difficult to make." Tianlin chuckled, ruffling her hair. In any case, no matter how precious the Demon Flame Flash Slash was, it couldn't compare to Rongrong's safety.
Besides, he had already planned to try making another one, since the second trial of the Asura God was about slaying a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that had been around for 460,000 years.
It seems that the Demon Flame Flash Slash crafted at level 60 is no longer very useful; it's better to wait until level 70 to craft a stronger one.
Having had a successful experience before, and being familiar with the process, the chances of success are quite high.
"Alright, I need to go down the mountain now. I haven't been back for two years, so I need to go back and visit my parents first." After delivering the gifts, Tianlin prepared to leave on his sword.
Just then, Ning Rongrong grabbed Tianlin's hand, "Brother Jian, don't go yet, hehe, I also have a surprise for you!"
As she spoke, she grabbed Tianlin's arm and started running. Tianlin was thus led by Ning Rongrong to her courtyard. He didn't know what the surprise Ning Rongrong was talking about was, but waiting a little while wouldn't hurt.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard Ning Rongrong shouting loudly, "Uncle, Auntie, come out quickly! Brother Jian is back!"
Upon hearing her voice, two figures ran out of the house; it was Jun Tianhai and Mo Lan.
"Tian'er!" Moran hugged Tianlin tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, and said, "It's so good that you've finally returned from your training. Your mother missed you so much."
For her, Tianlin's cultivation level was not that important; his safety was the greatest comfort to her.
"Father, Mother! How did you get here?" Tianlin was both excited and puzzled. He had tried to bring them to live in the sect more than once before, but they couldn't get used to it and always went back to their village after a few days.
"Sect Master Ning came to pick us up personally," Jun Tianhai explained as he stepped forward. "He said that as your skill level increases, your reputation also grows. If we continue to stay in a place where no one is protecting you, you may become a target for others. Therefore, we followed him here to live."
Tianlin nodded. Ning Fengzhi's concerns were justified. No matter how close Qibao Village was to the sect, it would still take time to get there.
Given the cultivation levels of Tianlin's parents, any powerful individual from the opposing forces could easily abduct them within a minute. What would Tianlin do then?
"Are you getting used to living here?" Tianlin asked.
"Haha, there was a little bit at first, but it's okay, Rongrong is here. Sect Leader Ning really raised a good daughter, and she's the best daughter-in-law. She comes to chat with us every day." Mo Lan let go of Tian Lin and then pulled Ning Rongrong closer.
She really liked Ning Rongrong very much and had always wanted Ning Rongrong to call them father and mother directly. However, girls are shy, and even after she spent a year 'coercing and enticing' her, Ning Rongrong was still too embarrassed to say it. It seems that this title can only be reserved for after they are officially married.
"Thank you, Rongrong!" Tianlin grasped Ning Rongrong's hand; for him, there was truly no greater surprise than this.
Ning Rongrong was a little embarrassed by what they said. "It's nothing. And uncles and aunts, my dad said you can just call him by his name. It's too formal to keep calling him Sect Leader Ning."
"This..." Jun Tianhai and Mo Lan exchanged a glance; they really didn't dare to be too enthusiastic in front of Ning Fengzhi.
After all, their social statuses were too disparate. Even with the help of the pills provided by Tianlin, Jun Tianhai had only managed to cultivate to the Soul Master realm of level forty-something over the years. Ning Fengzhi, on the other hand, was not only the sect leader of the second largest sect in the world, but also a titled Douluo. Jun Tianhai and his wife simply could not place themselves on the same level as Ning Fengzhi, let alone associate with him on an equal footing.
Tianlin smiled helplessly. It seemed that after being an ordinary person for so many years, he couldn't adapt to living with so many high-ranking figures all at once. In that case, he needed to speed up his progress to become a god.
There's no other reason. Once he becomes a god, Jun Tianhai and Mo Lan will be the parents of a god, and then they won't need to be inferior to anyone, no matter who they face.
Chapter 249 Encounter with Oslo in Heaven Dou City
After Tianlin had a good reunion with his parents for a while, Jun Tianhai was so shocked by his current level that he was almost speechless.
He knew his son was very talented, but this was too much. He was not even eighteen years old, yet his soul power was almost at the level of a Soul Saint. Back when he was eighteen, he was just a Soul Master of the teens.
He believed that his son must have suffered a genetic mutation, and he even considered another possibility: that the genetic mutation was not in his son, but in himself.
Perhaps one of their ancestors was a genius Soul Master, but he became useless in his generation. Tianlin is the normal phenomenon.
Jun Tianhai thought to himself with great self-admiration, while also regretting that he hadn't had more children. Otherwise, his Jun family might have become a renowned Soul Master family.
Now, this hope can only be placed on Tianlin and Ning Rongrong.
So the couple kept urging Tianlin and Ning Rongrong to get married as soon as possible, but Tianlin still had two big problems to solve, so it was not time for them to get married yet.
The first was the Soul Hunting Operation. Only after that day did he have the mind to consider other things. The second was the Asura God's Trial.
The difficulty of this second test is considerable. He must kill the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear alone. Even Chen Xin, with his current strength, would have to use all his strength to deal with it. In just one year, Tian Lin really doesn't know what method to use to kill it. Even if he makes an even stronger Demon Flame Flash Slash, the success rate is not very high.
To prevent them from worrying too much, neither of these two things could be told to them. In order to avoid his parents' pressure to get married, Tianlin had no choice but to run away. Taking the excuse of apologizing to the Lord of Yuexuan, Tianlin temporarily left the sect.
In Tian Dou City, Tian Lin walked down the street. It was still as bustling as ever. He found that this capital of the Tian Dou Empire was even more prosperous than it had been two years ago.
In the past, he would occasionally see nobles oppressing commoners, but today, as he walked along, the distinction between nobles and commoners became very clear.
As these nobles passed by, they still wore incredibly arrogant expressions. They still looked down on ordinary people as before, but they no longer wantonly trampled on them.
"What happened? Have these guys changed their ways in the last two years?" Tianlin wondered.
"Xiao Tian!" Just then, someone excitedly called out to him. Tian Lin turned around and saw it was Oslo.
"Long time no see, Oslo!"
Oslo was born into a minor noble family in the Heaven Dou Empire, so Tian Lin was not surprised to see him here.
"Xiao Tian, where have you been these past two years? You haven't come back for several of our Royal Fighting gatherings. Do you know how worried we all were about you?" Oslo walked around Tian Lin a few times, patting his shoulder and touching his chest, seemingly checking his body. "Hmm, no problem, you're developing very well!"
Tianlin helplessly slapped his hand away, "Of course there's no problem. I'm going to the mainland to train, not to go somewhere to fall into depravity."
"Hey, Oslo, where are you going? You're all dressed up so smartly!" Tianlin noticed that Oslo's outfit was different from usual today.
He looked very gentlemanly in his well-fitting tuxedo.
"Of course I'm going to Yuexuan! Today is Yuexuan's public performance day, which only comes around once every few months. It's a gathering place for the most noble ladies of our Heavenly Dou Empire. Even Princess Xueke studies there. I want to try my luck and see if I can... no, I should say meet my true love there," Oslo replied shyly.
Tianlin was taken aback. "You're still single?"
Oslo's face darkened. "Nonsense, I'm not like you, Tianheng, or Yufeng, with a face that attracts women like a scumbag. Nor am I like the Shi brothers, who lost their virginity long ago. Although my family bought me a few maids to sleep with, I am a man of integrity and will give my virginity to my true love."
Tianlin hadn't expected this guy to be so principled. He finally remembered why he had felt he had overlooked something three years ago; it turned out to be that tragic guy, Oslo.
To be honest, Tianlin could tell that Oslo's level had reached around level 57, and he would probably be able to advance to Soul Emperor in one to two years at most. Moreover, he possessed a 30,000-year-old soul bone, so his future was limitless. He was definitely a potential Title Douluo. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be too difficult for such a person to win the favor of a noble girl, right?
With a sense of doubt, Tianlin and Oslo went to Yuexuan side by side. Only when they got there did he understand why Oslo was unpopular.
Upon entering the Moon Pavilion, before the performance began, Oslo approached each of the girls, saying, "Hey, Miss Fina, what perfume have you been wearing lately? It has the fragrance of roses and the refreshing scent of mint."
"Miss Qileya, your skin is getting better and better. When will you like to share your skincare tips with me?"
"Princess Xueke, you truly live up to your reputation as a princess of our Heavenly Dou Empire. Your beauty is so stunning that it makes even the stars in the sky pale in comparison."
Tianlin's lips twitched. So this guy's so-called search for true love was just casting a wide net to catch as many fish as possible. And he could tell that those noblewomen didn't actually dislike Osro.
After all, Osro was also a nobleman and powerful, so they had no reason to antagonize him. However, they all seemed to regard Osro as a 'good sister' and interacted with him as if they were with their best friend.
"That idiot Oslo, he's set up the wrong persona. It's no wonder he can't find a lover." Tianlin sighed and rubbed his forehead.
His actions caught the attention of the noble ladies. Even in Yuexuan, they rarely saw such a handsome young man. One of the girls asked with spring in her eyes, "Hey, Oslo, aren't you going to introduce us to this person you brought along?"
"Him? He's just my little sidekick, a nobody!" Oslo said bluntly, his eyes wide open. He already regretted it; since coming with Tianlin, the girls' attention hadn't been on him.
"Hehe, if Brother Tianlin can only be considered a follower, then you, Oslo, can probably be on par with my brother." A charming female voice laughed, it was Princess Xueke. "It's been a long time, Brother Tianlin, you're back from your training. Two years ago you left without saying goodbye, do you know how angry my brother was? He sent many people to search for your whereabouts, but unfortunately you were nowhere to be found."
Tianlin and Xue Qinghe had known each other for many years, so he naturally knew Princess Xueke as well, though they weren't particularly close. However, out of respect for Xue Qinghe, Xueke had always treated him with great courtesy.
Chapter 250 Tang Yuehua, Master of Yuexuan
"It's been a long time, Your Highness." Tianlin didn't have any ill feelings towards Xue Ke. Perhaps it was because she had been learning etiquette from Tang Yuehua all along, but she didn't have the arrogance of other nobles. Instead, she was very polite.
She famously said, "Nobility is not etched on one's skin, nor does it flow in one's blood; it is a badge of honor earned through one's conduct."
In fact, before Xue Ke entered Yuexuan to study, she could be said to have been raised by Qian Renxue. Tianlin didn't understand why Qian Renxue had taught this princess so well for no reason.
Could it be that after being siblings for over a decade, they've actually developed some feelings for each other?
Xue Ke turned to her classmates behind her and said, "Let me introduce you. Oslo was just talking nonsense. In fact, this is the pride of our empire, the soul of the Royal Fighting Team, the youngest viscount, the disciple of Sword Douluo, and also my elder brother's best brother, Jun Tianlin."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Tianlin in surprise and bowed respectfully.
Since the Royal Fighting Team won the championship, all of their members have received widespread attention. Therefore, even though Oslo was born into a minor noble family, the children of high noble families were willing to befriend him. After all, everyone could see how much potential each member of the team had, not to mention Tianlin, who had always occupied the strongest position.
"So you are Sword Master, I've heard so much about you!" Just then, a gentle and melodious voice rang out.
A graceful and elegant woman slowly descended the stairs, followed by two beautiful young girls.
This beautiful woman appeared to be in her late twenties, but her eyes seemed to have seen through everything in the world, filled with a wise light that Tianlin had only ever seen in Ning Fengzhi.
The silver palace-style long dress fit her perfectly. Tang San in the original work wasn't exaggerating; of all the women Tianlin had ever seen, only Bibi Dong's temperament could compare to hers.
"You must be the mistress of Yuexuan, Madam Yue. I am Jun Tianlin. Uncle Ning sent me to visit you," Tianlin said.
Upon hearing this, Tang Yuehua was somewhat surprised. Ning Fengzhi had indeed come here to register Tianlin before, but at that time he said that Tianlin would be a person with a strong murderous aura and would have difficulty controlling his emotions.
