Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

"Your name is Tianlin, right? My name is Rongrong, and I am the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Now that you have joined the sect, you will have to listen to me and be my little brother." Ning Rongrong jumped out of Chen Xin's arms, her face still wet with tears, clearly very dissatisfied with Tianlin for scaring her earlier.

"I can protect you, but I won't be your underling." Tianlin immediately refused, not wanting to indulge this little devil.

"Grandpa Jian, look at him!" Ning Rongrong immediately complained without saying a word.

"Alright, Rongrong, Tianlin's promise to protect you is enough. You should become good friends with him, and you must not use your power to bully others," Ning Fengzhi immediately admonished.

As a support-type Soul Master, what he needs most is to find a comrade-in-arms with whom he can entrust his back. With Tianlin's talent, he hopes to become the person Ning Rongrong needs.

Just like himself, he would never put on airs of a sect leader in front of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo. In his heart, the two Douluo were his comrades-in-arms and family.

"Rongrong, listen to your father. Tianlin's martial spirit does not allow him to bow down to anyone." Chenxin is a swordsman. A swordsman with a sword heart cannot bow down to anyone or anything. Only by forging ahead can one reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship.

"Hmph, none of you are helping me, Rongrong hates you!" Unfortunately, Ning Rongrong is too young to understand her father and grandfather's good intentions. She acted willfully and ran out without saying goodbye.

"Sigh, this child." Ning Fengzhi sighed and looked at Tianlin, saying, "I'm so sorry, Tianlin, I've spoiled my daughter rotten. You should go and rest first. Tomorrow morning, Uncle Jian will take you to the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain your first soul ring."

"It's alright, Uncle Ning, I'll take my leave now." Tianlin said and left the main hall.

A disciple had been waiting there for a long time. He was arranged by Ning Fengzhi and was responsible for taking Tianlin to the room where he would live from then on.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's wealth is truly unimaginable. Even a newly initiated disciple like him has a private room, which is both luxurious and spacious. Living in such a place every day is simply so extravagant that it deserves to be struck by lightning.

Of course, this is only because of Tianlin. After all, with his talent, he is a prospective Title Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and other disciples do not have this treatment.

Tianlin didn't rush to rest. Instead, he went to his desk, took out paper and pen, and began to consider his soul ring configuration. No one knew the Demon Sword better than him, so he had to decide how to choose his soul rings.

The growth method of the Demon Sword is somewhat different from other swords. The soul rings it needs to absorb are not those related to sharpness or hardness, but rather to various attributes.

Water, fire, wind, thunder, earth.

These five attributes, through different fusions, can give birth to different soul skills, with dozens of possible combinations.

Tianlin will select the nine strongest and most practical ones from these dozens of types as his own soul skills!

Chapter 7: Confessing to Twin Martial Souls and Heading to the Soul Hunter Forest

Tianlin kept writing and drawing until noon, forgetting to go out for lunch. He only stopped when Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo pushed open the door and came in.

"Tianlin, what are you doing?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

He could see what was written on the Tianlin Paper, such as fire plus thunder equals sword energy burning thunder, earth plus fire equals earth fire summoning the moon, etc., but he said he couldn't understand it at all.

"Uncle Ning, this is the development direction of my martial soul. To make my martial soul stronger, I need to add soul rings with various attributes. For this, I am currently making different arrangements and comparisons, wanting to make good plans for each soul ring in the future." Tianlin didn't need to hide this from him.

"Oh, a sword that grows stronger by relying on attributes? I'm quite curious to see how it will grow." Chen Xin's interest was piqued again, and he became increasingly satisfied with Tian Lin, not wasting a single second and always thinking about becoming stronger.

"But you can't skip meals. Nutrition is very important for you right now. This is a one-time exception."

"Yes!" Tianlin wasn't annoyed at all by Chenxin's nagging. He only gave her more instructions because he cared about her. If Chenxin didn't care about him, who would care if he ate or not?

"But teacher, it's okay if I skip a meal or two, because I have another martial soul that provides me with energy at any time!" As he spoke, Tianlin released the Holy Spirit Pearl from his left hand.

With Ning Rongrong present in the morning, it was unrealistic to expect a child to keep the secret. Therefore, Tianlin had concealed it earlier. He always believed that the fewer people who knew the secret of the twin martial souls, the better. Now that only Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were present, he decided not to hide it any longer.

"Dual...Twin Martial Souls!" Ning Fengzhi's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Then, he suddenly remembered something, "Uncle Sword!"

Sword Douluo waved his hand, and all the doors and windows immediately closed. At the same time, he released the Seven Kill Sword, shouting, "Seven Kill Domain, open!"

This is Sword Douluo's domain. Within this domain, he reigns supreme. Even intangible things like light and sound can be cleaved by his sword energy.

This avoids the possibility of being overheard or possessed by spying-type soul skills. It's impossible for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the second largest sect in the world, to be completely free of spies.

The matter of twin martial souls is of utmost importance and must not be revealed.

"Uncle Ning, teacher, this is my second martial soul, the Holy Spirit Pearl. It can be used for both support and offense, and it comes with an innate soul skill, the Holy Breath Barrier. Within the barrier, all allies can continuously recover their soul power. Moreover, using it during regular cultivation can also accelerate cultivation efficiency," Tianlin explained.

"Another innate soul skill, and this innate soul skill is practically the prototype of a domain. Generally, top-tier martial souls only have a slight chance of obtaining a domain when they obtain their martial soul true form at level 70 or break through to the Title Douluo level at level 90. But this bead can awaken with a domain by itself. Could it be the legendary god-level martial soul?" Ning Fengzhi was extremely surprised.

Everyone says that the master is the number one in theory, but in Tianlin’s opinion, Ning Fengzhi is no less than him, and may even be better.

After all, the successive sect leaders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School must have thoroughly mastered the theory in order to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

"There's no mistake, this is a divine-level martial soul. My father once fought against the Spirit Hall's divine-level martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel. According to him, divine-level martial souls have a suppressive effect on top-level martial souls. I sensed it; my Seven Kill Sword trembled when it saw this bead!" Chen Xin's tone was off. Apart from the Spirit Hall and the legendary Seagod Island, no other divine-level martial soul had ever appeared on the continent.

Unexpectedly, the third one appeared in their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. How lucky they are!

Ning Fengzhi tried to calm himself down and instructed, "Xiao Tian, ​​I will inform Uncle Gu about your twin martial souls later. He is absolutely trustworthy. Apart from the three of us, you must never reveal your martial soul to a fourth person, including Elder Yin Yang and Rongrong, or even your parents. You must hide it at all costs, understand?"

"Okay, I understand," Tianlin replied solemnly.

"Alright, also, from now on you will follow Uncle Jian to cultivate that sword with all your might. Before you become a Title Douluo, do not add any spirit rings to that bead." Ning Fengzhi's idea was the same as Grandmaster and Tang Hao's: to create a top-tier monster with all spirit rings over ten thousand years old.

Tianlin knew that Ning Fengzhi was doing it all for his own good, so he agreed to everything.

Ning Fengzhi nodded. He needed to find a place to calm down; the shock of today had been too great, and he couldn't recover in time.

Leaving Tianlin's room, Chenxin said worriedly, "Fengzhi, although Xiaotian's talent is exceptional, you should know that having twin martial souls has its drawbacks."

"I understand, Uncle Jian. Don't worry. If Xiao Tian went to another sect, he might not be able to develop his twin martial souls to their full potential. But he's very lucky; he just happened to come to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. In terms of theoretical knowledge, apart from the Spirit Hall, I dare say no other sect can compare to us. I can definitely solve the drawbacks of twin martial souls." Ning Fengzhi was full of confidence. Once Tian Lin grows up, he will surely become the pillar of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the beam that holds up the sea.

In the afternoon, Chen Xin came again, this time to teach Tian Lin how to practice meditation.

Once you master the meditation method, you can use meditation to replace sleeping. For a Soul Master to reach the pinnacle, these arduous experiences are essential.

With the guidance of a renowned teacher, Tianlin suddenly understood the things he hadn't understood before and quickly entered a meditative state.

Unfortunately, he is currently only at level ten and has no spirit rings. No matter how hard he tries to cultivate, he will not be able to make any breakthroughs.

But Tianlin knew that the soul power he had cultivated had not actually disappeared; he just couldn't feel it. Once he obtained a soul ring, it would all come out at once.

Therefore, Tianlin didn't relax on that first night, meditating the entire night. The next morning, he woke up feeling incredibly energetic; meditation's restorative effect on energy was no less than that of ordinary sleep.

"Hmm, you're in good shape. Come on, I'll take you to get your first spirit ring." Sword Douluo opened the door, picked up Tianlin, and flew towards the Soul Hunter Forest on his sword.

The first spirit ring only takes ten or a hundred years, so there is no need to go to places like the Star Dou Great Forest or the Sunset Forest. The ordinary Soul Hunting Forest is enough to meet the requirements.

With Sword Douluo's flying speed, the two arrived at the entrance of the Soul Hunter Forest in less than two hours.

The Soul Hunting Forest is not a natural forest, but a place where the Spirit Hall and the two great empires keep soul beasts. It is suitable for low-level soul masters. Most of the soul beasts there are ten to a hundred years old, thousand-year-old ones are relatively rare, and ten-thousand-year-old ones are almost non-existent.

Soldiers guarded the entrance to the Soul Hunting Forest. Chen Xin stepped forward and took out a token. It was the Heaven Dou Six Royal Token, the highest-level token of the Spirit Hall. Only a few people possessed it, and there were only three outside, each held by a Title Douluo from one of the three upper sects.

Upon seeing the token, the soldiers immediately opened the gate without daring to ask a single question. Anyone who could produce such a token must be an important figure, and it was not something they were qualified to seek out.

Chapter 8 First Soul Ring: Spinning Tail Shuttle

Entering the Soul Hunting Forest, Chen Xin asked, "Xiao Tian, ​​you said your martial soul needs to absorb a soul ring with an attribute to grow. So, have you decided what your first attribute should be?"

"Yes, teacher, after a day of consideration yesterday, I have completely decided on my growth direction. For my first attribute, I choose water!" After careful consideration, Tianlin finally determined the skills he needed.

If things go according to his plan, he will definitely become a top-tier offensive-type Soul Master in the future, and one with built-in support abilities.

After all, some of the auxiliary skills in the Demon Sword Techniques are incredibly powerful, and Tianlin has no intention of giving them up.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xin stopped in his tracks, puzzled, and asked, "Why? Among the attributes you listed earlier, water's attack power is the weakest."

The explosiveness and scorching of fire, the piercing and paralyzing power of lightning, the speed and cutting force of wind, and the weight and strength of earth are all more suitable than water.

Perhaps the power of towering waves is no less than that, but what they are looking for today is only a hundred-year-old soul beast, which is not enough to reach that level. Therefore, in Chen Xin's plan, the water attribute can be obtained later. Absorbing a ten-thousand-year-old water attribute soul beast is the wise choice.

“Teacher, I understand what you mean, but in my development plan, the properties of water are extremely important, and I must obtain it as soon as possible,” Tianlin said firmly.

“Alright then, in that case, let’s go to the lake right away. I know a kind of soul beast that might be perfect for you!” With that, Chen Xin led Tian Lin to the lake area.

Compared to other attributes, water is relatively easy to find. There are a lot of soul beasts in the water. Although they can't compare to sea soul beasts, they are enough to meet the needs of most soul masters.

During their journey, they encountered several spirit beasts, including even thousand-year-old spirit beasts, but none of them dared to approach. After all, the sword energy on Sword Douluo's body was too heavy, and out of their instinct to avoid danger, they chose to stay away.

Walking with a Title Douluo, the Soul Hunter Forest, a place extremely dangerous to ordinary people, is practically no different from a botanical garden.

This is the benefit of clinging to someone powerful.

Soon, the two arrived at a huge lake, where many water-type spirit beasts could be seen wandering around.

"Teacher, what do you think of that jellyfish? I feel that it has a lot of water energy." Tianlin pointed to a blue jellyfish and said.

"A poisonous jellyfish? Judging from its size, this one is probably only 200 years old. No, the soul ring I hunted for you myself isn't old enough. Besides, the soul beast I chose for you is much better than this jellyfish." Chen Xin immediately rejected Tian Lin's suggestion.

The two had no choice but to continue their search, and soon they encountered another fish that looked like a cleaver.

"This knife fish is not bad, but it seems to be too young, only a little over three hundred years old." Chen Xin became picky again.

Just then, something seemed to appear next to the knife fish. A flash of blue light appeared, and the knife fish's body was pierced through the middle.

The attacking soul beast was incredibly powerful and fast; Tianlin didn't even catch a glimpse of it.

"Teacher, what was that just now? It pierced the knife fish in an instant."

"This attack and speed are exactly what I've been looking for, Xiao Tian, ​​your soul ring has been found." Chen Xin waved his hand and unleashed a sword aura that exploded on the lake's surface.

Suddenly, a strangely shaped fish was shot out. Its nose and mouth were connected, like a needle, and its tail had four parts that were spiraled.

It seems that this fish accelerated by spinning its tail and then used its nose to pierce the knife fish.

"Hehe, it really is a Whirltail Spinner!" Chen Xin immediately took action, using his powerful soul force to pull the fish over. "Xiao Tian, ​​this is the target we've been looking for. The lifespan of a Whirltail Spinner is determined by its size and the number of its tails. Each time its size increases, its tails fall off and regrow. It's currently of medium size with four tails, meaning its cultivation level is around four hundred years, perfect for you. I've already controlled it; kill it immediately!"

"Alright, Shadow Sword, go!" Tianlin immediately responded and acted. He understood Chenxin's good intentions. He was afraid that the pure water attribute would make his first soul skill's attack power insufficient, so he specially found a water attribute soul beast with high attack power to make up for this shortcoming.

The demonic sword split into four afterimage swords, instantly killing the spinning tailed shuttle on the spot.

Following Chen Xin's instructions from yesterday, Tian Lin sat down cross-legged, and a deep yellow soul ring flew out from the spinning tail shuttle, surrounding Tian Lin.

“No, the depth of color of this spirit ring is not something a four-hundred-year-old spirit beast can possess.” Chen Xin immediately stepped forward to examine the corpse of the Spinning Tail Spinning Shuttle, only to discover that the tail of the spinning shuttle, which appeared to have four pieces, actually had six pieces, two of which should have been cut off.

It was probably cut off by the knife fish during the previous fight.

"Oh no! This spiked shuttle is actually a six-hundred-year-old soul beast! Tianlin, you have to hold on!"

The absorption of the spirit ring has already begun and cannot be stopped even if one wants to. One can only hope that Tianlin can hold on.

"Damn it, that hurts!"

The sharp needle's resentment, just like its body, pierced Tianlin's entire body, causing him excruciating pain.

If it were an ordinary child, they probably wouldn't have been able to hold on. Fortunately, Tianlin's body contained the soul of an adult, which allowed him to grit his teeth and persevere.

"How much longer!" Before he knew it, half an hour had passed, and Tianlin was nearing his limit after holding on for so long.

His body was still that of a six-year-old child. Although he possessed the Shu Mountain Sect's body-forging method, he only obtained it when his martial soul awakened; he had never actually practiced it.

Just then, the light in Tianlin's left hand shone brightly, and the Holy Spirit Pearl appeared on its own, setting up a Holy Breath Barrier.

"Is this... a martial soul protecting its master? I never expected that this divine-level martial soul would be so intelligent, actually protecting its master at a critical moment." Chen Xin was initially anxious, but upon seeing this scene, he couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of a divine-level martial soul.

With the Holy Breath Barrier in place, Tianlin's soul power, mental strength, and injuries began to gradually recover.

Half an hour later, he could no longer feel the pain; instead, he felt a continuous flow of power into his body.
