Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

"Alright, but let me make this clear first: I can only protect Rongrong and Xiaotian while trying my best to protect Tang San. If we really encounter a danger that even I can't handle, the first person I'll save is definitely my own child. Don't blame me then." Although Yin Yang agreed, he also made the unpleasant point clear upfront.

Tang Hao wasn't angry when he heard this, which is only human nature. However, he wasn't too worried either, since he was just going to hunt thousand-year-old soul beasts and would probably only wander around the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest. Even if Yin Yang didn't make a move, Zhao Wuji alone would be enough.

He just wanted to add an extra layer of insurance. Since Yin Yang had promised to look after Tang San, he could leave with peace of mind.

"Brother Jun, are you also planning to join us on this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest?"

At the academy's main gate, Tang San asked Tian Lin, since he wasn't a member of the academy and the dean couldn't order him to do anything.

Tianlin nodded, "Of course, I must personally oversee Rongrong's crucial third spirit ring."

Tianlin will not be absent this time, because he has another plan to carry out, and for some reason, ever since he came to the Star Dou Great Forest with Chenxin, he has always felt that something in the forest is attracting him.

Curiosity compels him to return to the Starry Sky Forest!

"You bunch of little brats, are you ready? We're about to set off!" At this moment, Zhao Wuji walked out with a head full of bumps. Compared to the original story, he not only had marks from being hit by a huge force, but also many places on his skin that were scorched by lightning.

Tianlin chuckled inwardly, secretly pleased. This guy was definitely bullying a child, just like in the original story. It didn't matter to others, but since he bullied Rongrong, he deserved to be beaten by Grandpa Eagle.

Upon hearing the words "little brat," Xiao Wu, who was originally a rabbit in human form, became somewhat displeased and whispered, "Why not say 'little blind bear'!"

As a Soul Saint, how could Zhao Wuji not hear it? He glared at Xiao Wu and asked, "Xiao Wu, what are you saying?"

Tang San immediately shielded Xiao Wu behind him like a protective father. Seeing Tang San, Zhao Wuji thought of Haotian Douluo's power, and his wounds throbbed with pain, so he didn't say anything more.

Everyone hurried on their way, and to speed things up, they all used their soul power to its fullest extent.

Tianlin noticed that he couldn't sense Xiaowu's presence at all, which meant she had taken a breath-concealing pill.

This was also within Tianlin's expectations. In this world, the only people who could recognize Xiaowu's identity were human powerhouses above level 80, other 100,000-year-old soul beasts, and herself.

The first step after obtaining the Breath-Concealing Pill was, of course, to test whether it was real. When she discovered yesterday that even she could not sense the aura of her own 100,000-year-old soul beast, she was incredibly excited. She could finally relax completely and accompany Tang San on his adventures across the continent.

Tianlin smiled slightly. This was exactly what he wanted. The first step in ruining one of Tang San's important opportunities was now complete.

As night fell, the group was very close to the Star Dou Great Forest, but it was dangerous to enter the forest at night, so they stopped when they reached a small town.

In the small town, Zhao Wuji led everyone to the entrance of a seemingly ordinary hotel and said, "Let's stay here and set off tomorrow morning. You can cover your own accommodation and meal expenses."

This guy has been with Flanders for a long time and has completely inherited his stinginess.

"Rongrong, you can stay in my room!" Tianlin said with a smile, stroking Rongrong's hair. He was going to cultivate with Ning Rongrong that night.

Ning Rongrong nodded obediently. They had been sleeping in the same room since they were little, and there was no longer any shyness between men and women.

Of course, they are still acting within the bounds of propriety and haven't done anything out of line. After all, they are still young and should focus on cultivation for now.

“Hongjun, you can book your own room and put the cost on my tab. Also, feel free to order whatever you want to eat later. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is not short of money!” Tianlin then looked at Ma Hongjun. He was always very good to his younger brother.

As long as Ma Hongjun remains loyal to the sect, he wouldn't mind treating him the same way he treated Gu Ran, giving him the best of everything.

"Thank you, boss! Looks like I've joined a very generous sect. I won't have to worry about food and drink anymore!" Ma Hongjun said excitedly.

Without any hesitation, he ordered a large table of dishes. Just as everyone was about to start eating, the hotel door was suddenly kicked open, and a group of arrogant people walked in. The leader was about forty years old, and behind him was a group of seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys and girls, wearing the uniforms of the advanced soul master academy Canghui Academy, looking very flamboyant.

As soon as they entered, a young man, with an arrogant air, pulled the shop owner aside and said, "Boss, give us a top-class room and bring out the best food, understand?"

The restaurant owner knew they were all Soul Masters, and he nodded and bowed in agreement, being extremely polite.

Tianlin finally understood why Shrek Academy provoked them in the original story. Besides the school motto that those who dared not cause trouble were mediocre, these people were indeed too arrogant, which was very annoying to watch.

"Who are these guys? How can they be so arrogant?" Tianlin was only thinking about it in his mind, but Xiaowu asked directly.

"It's just a small Canghui Academy, what's there to brag about!" They were arrogant, but Dai Mubai was even more arrogant, mocking them mercilessly.

“That’s right…” Ma Hongjun wanted to agree, but a hand pressed down on his hand, stopping him from continuing.

"Boss, what's going on?"

Tianlin shook his head. "How arrogant they are is none of our business. As long as they don't provoke us, Hongjun, you shouldn't mess with them either."

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai showed some disdain, "Haha, Brother Jun, although you are strong, you are actually so cowardly and afraid of trouble. Haven't you heard the saying, 'Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre'!"

"Hmph, that's what Shrek Academy says. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's motto is: Don't cause trouble, don't be afraid of trouble, and don't offend others unless they offend us!" Tianlin retorted.

When he first read this scene in his previous life, he thought Shrek Academy's style of doing things was cool, unrestrained and free. But since the last academy incident, Tianlin's thoughts have changed. How is it different from bullying others by relying on strength to cause trouble at will? He didn't want to pay attention to Dai Mubai, but since Ma Hongjun chose to join the sect, some of his bad habits must be corrected.

Chapter 107 If someone offends me, I will wipe out their entire family.

"Since that's the case, then you can just stay here and watch." Dai Mubai smiled arrogantly.

Tianlin didn't say much. He didn't want to cause trouble, but he didn't mind watching a good show. Besides, there was a big table of delicious food in front of him, so being a spectator was just fine.

"Boss, are we really not going to make a move?" Ma Hongjun asked.

"Try not to move. If necessary, you can mention the name of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School." Tianlin said with his eyes closed, as if recalling something.

"I made a mistake when I was young. When I first entered the Royal Academy, I didn't want to rely on the sect. As a result, I concealed my identity and fell out with the nobles there. This was then used by someone with ulterior motives, which led to the current irreconcilable conflict between our sect and the Kingdom of Barak."

"Since then, I have changed my mind. If you have power, then use it. It's not wrong to use power to protect yourself, as long as you don't use it to bully others."

Tianlin used his own experience to warn Ma Hongjun, hoping that the same mistake would not be repeated.

At this moment, a waiter brought a dish to their table. Because he had just been mocked by Dai Mubai, a young student from Canghui Academy deliberately tripped the waiter.

The waiter lost his footing and fell towards Dai Mubai, spilling all the dishes. If Dai Mubai hadn't dodged, he would have been drenched in the soup.

At this moment, Tang San used the Tang Sect's Crane Control and Dragon Capture Technique to grab the plate and catch all the soup. "Don't waste food!"

Dai Mubai swiftly struck, delivering a slap imbued with soul power to the youth's chest. The youth's body arched backward, sending him flying. Moreover, Dai Mubai's attack was precise, sending the youth flying towards the dining table of Canghui Academy.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man from Canghui Academy reached out and steadily caught the young man. Judging from his relaxed appearance, this person's strength was no less than the Soul King level. He must be the turtle teacher from Canghui Academy.

"What a bunch of arrogant brats! All of you, get them and teach them a lesson!"

The students of Canghui Academy were already unable to contain themselves. Upon hearing the order, they rushed forward in a rush. Unfortunately, this group of guys, who were seventeen or eighteen years old but whose soul power level was only around level twenty, were scattered and defeated by Xiao Wu, who suddenly jumped out, before they could even activate their martial souls.

She was born as a soul beast, and like Dai Mubai, she was quite wild and not afraid of causing trouble at all.

"You bunch of idiots, activate your martial spirits before you charge!" the teacher from Canghui Academy roared.

Upon hearing this, the students of Canghui Academy activated their martial souls one after another: deer, sheep, horse, as well as forks and spears—all relatively common martial souls. Their soul rings were also mostly one white and one yellow, indicating a rather mediocre level.

However, these people were quite petty. They seemed to regard Tianlin as being on the same side as Dai Mubai, who had provoked them. The Soul Master with the spear even used his first Soul Skill to thrust at him.

"Stop! I am from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Please don't go looking for trouble," Tianlin said, glaring at him.

"Hmph, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? Who would believe that? They're afraid of us, so they're impersonating the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Too late!" The man persisted, thrusting his spear straight at them.

"Foolish!" Tianlin grabbed the spear and stood still. Ma Hongjun seemed to want to make a move, but hesitated because he was afraid of being punished by Tianlin.

At this moment, Tianlin said, "Hongjun, now you can make your move. There's a saying: 'I won't offend others unless they offend me, but if they do, I'll wipe out their entire family!'"

Since these students from Canghui Academy still dared to attack him even after he revealed his name, it was only right for him to retaliate. Otherwise, outsiders would think that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was easy to bully.

"Alright, watch this!" Ma Hongjun excitedly threw a punch, sending the spear-wielding Soul Master flying. He had been holding back for this long.

I thought Tianlin was the kind of person who would endure anything, but I didn't expect him to be so vindictive. It's just what I like.

To prevent Xiao Wu from getting hurt, Tang San called her back and took action himself. Together with Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, their strength far surpassed that of their opponents. In less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, everyone from Canghui Academy was lying flat on the ground.

Looking at the few immature teenagers in front of him, the teacher from Canghui Academy was somewhat surprised. So young, yet possessing such strength, he suspected that these people might be born into some powerful family.

"I am Ye Zhiqiu, the director of the Foreign Affairs Department of Canghui Academy. May I ask which sect you belong to?" Ye Zhiqiu was very polite, after all, he knew that there were some people he could not afford to offend.

"We are from Shrek Academy."

"I'm from Shrek Academy now, and I'll be from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the future. Didn't I just say that? What, you still don't believe me?"

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun answered respectively. Tianlin nodded in satisfaction. Although Ma Hongjun was a bit lazy, he had one very good quality: he would stick to what he believed in.

Just like in the original story, when he decided to follow Tang San to establish the Tang Sect, he did his best to subdue the four major single-attribute clans.

And then there's Bai Chenxiang. The moment Ma Hongjun decided on her, he never had any other thoughts. Tianlin also decided to recruit her into the sect based on all these aspects from the original work.

"Could it really be from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?" Ye Zhi Qiu pondered. How could he not be afraid of this behemoth that now boasts four Douluo-level experts? Moreover, the talents of the people before him were terrifyingly high. Even if they weren't from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they must have been born into some powerful family. Adhering to the principle of avoiding trouble, he immediately said, "So you are geniuses cultivated by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. We were impolite this time. We've become friends through this fight, so let's drop the matter."

"Wait a minute, do you only know that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School doesn't give Shrek Academy any face?" Dai Mubai said coldly, displeased.

"Shrek Academy?" Ye Zhi Qiu murmured to himself, "I've never heard of this academy before. Could it have been secretly established by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

Dai Mubai refuted his guess, "Our Shrek Academy has nothing to do with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. As for you not having heard of it, humph, that just means you're ignorant!"

Hearing this, Ye Zhi Qiu understood. He had already backed down, but the other party still didn't know what was good for them, so he didn't need to be polite anymore. He arrogantly said, "Hmph, didn't your teachers teach you to respect your elders? If not, then let me teach you a lesson on their behalf!"

"Black Tortoise, possess me!"

Ye Zhi Qiu's martial spirit possessed him, his limbs were slightly shortened, a green tortoise shell rose on his back, his whole body shimmered with green light, and five spirit rings, one white, two yellow and two purple, swirled around him.

As expected, he was a Soul King powerhouse. The ordinary people in the restaurant exclaimed in unison. People from the lower classes naturally had great respect for such a rare figure as a Soul King.

"Teaching us in place of our teacher? Humph, you old turtle, you're not qualified!" Ma Hongjun said unhappily. His teacher was Flander, and he always respected his teacher the most.

Ning Rongrong also stepped forward, intending to lend a hand. Although she was the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she was now also a member of Shrek Academy. It was neither reasonable nor emotional that she could just watch her classmates fight while she remained uninvolved.

Upon seeing Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Ye Zhi Qiu hesitated again. He had originally thought that only a few of these people were disciples of affiliated families of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so it wouldn't hurt to teach them a lesson.

But what I didn't expect was that there was actually a direct relative involved. If I hurt her, it would be a real problem.

Tianlin didn't want to see Ning Rongrong get hurt, so he stepped forward and said, "Mr. Ye Zhiqiu, although Dai Mubai provoked me first, it's also true that your students attacked me without distinguishing right from wrong. How about this, I'll have a one-on-one soul battle with you. Whoever loses will have to kowtow and apologize to the other."

Since Canghui Academy attacked him, there's no problem for him to retaliate now; it's a matter of reciprocity!

Chapter 108 Fourth Soul Skill: Flowing Light Immortal Slaying Slash

"Alright, I'll give you face as the young master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and I'll fight you one-on-one until we're done!" Ye Zhi Qiu was still a little intimidated by Tian Lin. He had made up his mind to go easy on him later, and even if he won, he wouldn't actually make Tian Lin kneel down and kowtow.

There's nothing he can do; the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is truly someone he can't afford to offend.

"Then, let's not cause any trouble for the merchants during the battle outside." Tianlin pointed outside and walked out first.

"Thank you, thank you, sir." The shop owner immediately expressed his gratitude to Tianlin. If these two Soul Masters were to fight here, his small shop would have to be renovated again tomorrow.

"Brother Jun, a Xuan Turtle-type Martial Soul should have excellent defense, but its speed is lacking. I suggest you avoid direct confrontation with it. With the agility of your longsword, you should have a high chance of winning if you fight a speed battle with it," Tang San suggested as he walked to Tian Lin's side.

Tianlin smiled slightly, "Thank you for your guidance, Brother Tang. However, I have my own fighting style, so just watch and see."

Seeing Tianlin's confident demeanor, Tang San said no more. He also wanted to see where the limit of Tianlin's attack power was.

Once everyone was outside, Tianlin said, "Mr. Ye Zhiqiu, your Xuan Turtle must have a defensive soul skill, right? I'll only use one move. If you can withstand it, I'll immediately admit defeat."

"What did you say?" Ye Zhi Qiu was furious. Even Buddha has anger. He was a defensive martial soul, and yet he was told that Ye Zhi Qiu could defeat him in one move while Ye Zhi Qiu was using a defensive soul skill. This was an insult to him.

"Very well, what a genius from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School! I'll see how you break through my defenses in one move, Xuan Turtle Body Protection!"

Ye Zhi Qiu's tortoise shell instantly solidified, resembling a thick layer of armor. He was very confident that even a Soul Master of the same level as him would find it difficult to defeat him in a single move, let alone the young Tian Lin.

"Big Sister, isn't the boss a bit too confident? That's a Soul King, you know. Even if he's already used defensive soul skills, it would be very difficult to defeat him in one move just with soul power alone," Ma Hongjun said with some concern as he walked to Ning Rongrong's side.
