Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

The opening ceremony first required registration and participation of participants. After the registration for Royal Fight ended, they did not leave immediately.

A moment later, Shrek Academy students emerged from the registration hall, and Qin Ming immediately went to greet them, "Dean, Teacher Zhao!"

He was waiting here specifically for his teacher.

"Hmm, Little Qin, not bad, your soul power has improved again, you're almost level 70 now, right?" Zhao Wuji patted Qin Ming on the shoulder and praised him.

"Qin Ming is lucky; he should be able to obtain the True Form of the Martial Soul within a year," Qin Ming said modestly yet confidently.

Flander smiled with satisfaction. "Alright, Qin Ming, there's no need to be so polite. You've already completed your apprenticeship, and now we're even rivals. Let me, the dean, take a good look at your teaching skills."

Just as Qin Ming was exchanging pleasantries with Flander, Tianlin approached Ning Rongrong, "My dear Rongrong, why are you covering your face and not looking at me? Don't you want to see Brother Jian?"

"Oh, Brother Jian, you're so mean! You know perfectly well what's going on." Ning Rongrong buried her head in Tianlin's arms, not daring to show her face at all. "Brother Jian, please help me think of a solution! I'm the next sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I'm the one who has disgraced the entire sect."

"There's nothing I can do about that. Every academy has its own rules, and as an outsider, I shouldn't interfere. As for the sect's reputation, Rongrong, don't worry, I'll get it all back." Tianlin shrugged, indicating that he was helpless.

"Where did this bunch of toads come from, making a fool of themselves in this elite competition?" At that moment, an incongruous voice came from the side.

They recognized the familiar school uniforms; they were from Canghui Academy.

"Who are you calling a toad?" Tyrone of the Power Clan, with his fiery temper, charged out without any restraint.

"Whoever wears shit-green clothes is a toad. It's a pity you didn't wear hats of the same color, otherwise it would be perfect, haha!" Canghui's men mocked.

"Damn it, I'll show you who the toad is!"

Seeing that Tyrone was about to make a move, Canghui Academy also prepared to fight back. Just then, a powerful yet somewhat sinister voice rang out, "What are you doing?"

Upon hearing this voice, the students of Canghui Academy dared not be presumptuous anymore and quickly parted to both sides. Behind them, an old man of about sixty years old walked over, dressed in a white Soul Master outfit, with a cold expression.

Upon seeing this person, Flander and Zhao Wuji's expressions changed, and they quickly stepped in front of their student, for this person was not someone to be trifled with.

He was one of the most formidable Soul Saints, Canmeng Shinian.

Chapter 148 The First Match

Canmeng Shi Nian gave Shrek Academy and Royal Fighting groups a cold look before leaving with Canghui's men. Looking at Shi Nian's back, both Flander and Qin Ming remained somewhat wary, indicating that Shi Nian's reputation on the continent was not very positive.

"Brother Jian, do you know Shi Nian? I think the teachers are all very wary of him," Ning Rongrong asked curiously.

Tianlin nodded. "I've heard of it. It's said that the martial spirit of this era is very special, called Remnant Dream. It can create all kinds of illusions, bewildering people to death within them. Its offense and defense are both quite bizarre, and even soul masters of the same level are reluctant to fight it."

"Moreover, this person is vicious and vindictive. Several years ago, his soul power had already reached the peak of the Soul Emperor level, and he should have already broken through level 70 by now."

After hearing Tianlin's introduction, everyone looked at each other in disbelief. There was actually such a martial spirit. Indeed, who would want to fight against a strange guy whose opponent's location was unknown?

However, Tianlin had an idea. According to the original story, Shi Nian should have already obtained the ten-thousand-year-old gem-like spiritual illusion skull by this time. This soul bone later belonged to Rongrong. It seems that he should find a way to place a takeout order for him.

Tianlin possesses a million-year-old spiritual skull, along with an external soul bone resembling an eye. While others fear his illusions, Tianlin is not afraid. To Tianlin, the threat posed by the current soul bone is even less than that of a Soul King.

However, even if Shi Nian had ten times the courage, he probably wouldn't dare to attack the disciple of Sword Douluo. Therefore, the one who initiated the order should still be Tang San, but Tian Lin was just planning to intercept it halfway.

"Alright, the real opening ceremony is about to begin. Let's go in. Dean Flander, this way please." As a teacher at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Qin Ming had some privileges. He had been here several times before to observe the battlefield and was very familiar with it.

Tianlin and the others immediately followed behind their teacher. When he passed by Tang San, Tang San's expression turned slightly unpleasant.

Even with his Purple Demon Eye activated, he couldn't see through Tian Lin's current strength, which meant the gap between them had widened again.

He now harbors ambitions to eventually subdue the Haotian Sect and establish the Tang Sect, and then use the combined power of the two sects to incorporate the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. In any case, he has already obtained the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's money, and the Tang Sect's hidden weapons cannot remain in the hands of others indefinitely. Even the most basic ones, since the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has taken them, they will either submit or perish in the future.

"It's alright. I possess twin martial souls. He's only temporarily stronger than me. In terms of potential, I far surpass him." Tang San recalled his master's admonition, regained some confidence, and strode to catch up with the others.

Upon entering, one is greeted by a vast and open plaza surrounded by countless cheering spectators. Directly in front of the central area stands a grand stage with a golden backdrop, behind which lies the renovated VIP area.

The spacious venue, with a diameter exceeding 150 meters, had the colleges entering already arranged in neat formations in the center. Each college was introduced by a master of ceremonies on the platform upon their entrance.

The entrance of the Royal Fighter was met with cheers, while Shrek Academy continued to be greeted with laughter.

Tianlin looked toward the VIP seats, where a dignified middle-aged man sat in the very center. His face was somewhat aged, but his demeanor was indescribably noble. He wore a golden robe and a golden diamond crown. Just sitting there, it was as if everything revolved around him.

Even Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Gu Rong, the titled Douluo, and Prince Xue Xing could only sit in a slightly lower position next to him. His identity was self-evident; he must be the Heavenly Dou Emperor, the Great Emperor Xue Ye.

In addition, sitting on the other side of Emperor Xueye was a mountain of flesh and a man in red robes. The mountain of flesh was none other than Hu Yanzhen, the sect leader of the Elephant Armor Sect. For some reason, he had arrived here ahead of time. As for the man in red robes, Tianlin could tell from his platinum crown and attire that he was a member of the Spirit Hall, and a high-ranking figure at the level of a Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall.

On the surface, besides the Pope and the titled Douluo-level elders, the most prestigious figures in the Spirit Hall are the four Platinum Bishops. This person should be Salas, the Hall Master of the Heaven Dou Temple, a Soul Douluo powerhouse of level 80 or above.

At that moment, Ning Fengzhi's gaze fell upon Tianlin, and the two nodded slightly.

What followed was a rather pointless opening speech, with Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi speaking in turn. After they finished, the two returned to their seats, and Xueye asked Ning Fengzhi, "Sect Leader Ning, which team do you think has the best chance this time?"

“Naturally, it’s the Royal Academy’s Royal Fighting Team. As the face of the empire, I believe they will put on a spectacular battle.” Ning Fengzhi gave Xue Ye plenty of face, and Emperor Xue Ye smiled faintly after hearing this, looking very satisfied.

Seeing this, Gu Rong secretly thought, "That's right, the Royal Fighting Team has the best chance of winning, but how did they get that chance? It's mainly thanks to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it has nothing to do with your royal family."

Meanwhile, Salas on the other side also had a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth. It wasn't a happy smile, but a mocking one. So what if he was a Royal Fighter? To him, only Jun Tianlin was worth a look, but that was only one person. The others were like ants in front of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.

He knew all too well how hard the Golden Generation had trained to avenge their defeat a few years ago. They were no longer just Soul Kings; their soul power was now so strong that they could stand out from the crowd.

Although the Spirit Hall and the two great empires can tolerate each other on the surface, they are already irreconcilably at odds in secret. Just after Emperor Xueye finished his speech, Salas even took the initiative to recruit geniuses from various academies. The Spirit Hall's ambition is becoming more and more undisguised.

On the Soul Arena side, the host proceeded step by step, and soon, the first match was about to begin. The Royal Fighting Team was the first to take the stage, and their opponent was Elephant Armor Academy, not Shrek Academy from the original story.

Ning Fengzhi glanced at Salas and Huyan Zhen. No wonder Huyan Zhen arrived early. This was clearly a deliberate arrangement by the Spirit Hall. Their purpose was not to win, but to probe Tian Lin's current strength.

For the Spirit Hall, rules are nothing more than toys that can be manipulated at will.

After all, Tianlin is the only threat to the Spirit Hall Academy, so it is natural to have good information about him so that the Golden Generation can know their enemy and themselves. With the strength of Elephant Armor Academy, even if they can't beat him, they can at least find out his background.

"It's an old powerhouse versus a championship favorite right off the bat. How interesting." Flander walked over to the stands and sat down with great interest. For him, this was also a good opportunity to gather information on the Royal Fighting Tournament.

Below the Battle Arena, Qin Ming was pondering something. He had also realized that Elephant Armor was targeting Tian Lin, but their Royal Battle wasn't limited to just those seven people. He could choose to keep Tian Lin in this match, and even if it was just other students, dealing with Elephant Armor wouldn't be a problem.

At this moment, Tianlin suddenly said, "Teacher Qin, there's no need to hesitate. I'll go. I think the Spirit Hall already suspected that I had broken through to the Soul King level, so there's no point in hiding it."

"Moreover, these people from major sects can all see that the Elephant Armor is coming for me. If I don't fight, it would be considered avoiding battle, and I don't want to be labeled as a coward."

Qin Ming nodded. "That makes sense. If you don't go, the Spirit Hall will definitely find other ways to force you to take action. So let's not hold back anymore. Just go up and intimidate everyone. And remember..."

Tianlin interrupted Qin Ming's rambling, "Don't worry, Teacher Qin, I know what you're going to say. I won't lose."

After Tianlin finished speaking, he was the first to jump onto the Soul Battle Platform, leaving Qin Ming shaking his head helplessly and saying, "Actually, what I wanted to say was, Xiao Tian, ​​go easy on me!"

Chapter 149 Target A in the Imperial Battle

"Xiao Tian, ​​you rushed in too hastily. Don't forget, we are a team." Yu Tianheng and the others followed, and the seven members of the Royal Fighting Clan were ready.

In this match, the offensive Soul Masters were Tianlin and Yutianheng, the defensive Soul Masters were the Shimo and Shimo brothers, the agile attackers were Aosro and Yufeng, and the final control was given to Huanyin.

The fact that Ye Lingling didn't use a support-type skill shows Huang Dou's determination in attacking this time.

On the other hand, the Elephant Armor Academy had seven mountains of flesh, each weighing over 200 pounds, all of them defensive-type Soul Masters, an extremely extreme team, which was also very characteristic of the Elephant Armor Sect.

"Sect Leader Huyan, is that the largest one your grandson Huyan Li?" Ning Fengzhi asked, looking at the person standing in the center of the Elephant Armor Academy.

“That’s right, Ali is the most outstanding disciple among the younger generation of my Elephant Armor Sect. His talent is even better than mine back then. I’m counting on him to become the first Title Douluo of my Elephant Armor Sect in the future.” Hu Yanzhen’s voice was as loud as a bell. Since he made no attempt to hide it, not only the people in the first row heard it, but also Prince Xue Xing in the back seat and Meng Shenji and others could hear it clearly.

Emperor Xueye smiled slightly, "It is a cause for celebration that Sect Master Huyan has such a grandson."

"Your Majesty flatters us. Our Elephant Armor Academy's goal this time is to be in the top three of the finals, defeating all opponents except for your country's Royal Academy and Spirit Hall Academy." Hu Yanzhen appeared humble, but was actually extremely arrogant.

He knew he was destined to lose this match, but it didn't matter. There were other academies that could advance to the qualifying rounds, and he had a clear conscience, so he never had any ambition to win the championship.

After all, the Sword Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall are two formidable mountains blocking the way for all academies, and no one can easily overcome them.

"Hello everyone, I'm your friend DouDou, and also the host of this competition." A beautiful female Soul Master spread her wings and flew into the air. "The first match of the first round of the preliminary competition is about to begin. Both sides, please release your Martial Souls and get ready!"

With her announcement, all seven students from Elephant Armor Academy simultaneously activated their Martial Souls, all of them Diamond Mammoths. Among them, three were Soul Masters and four were Soul Venerables, all with optimal Soul Ring configurations. The strongest, Hu Yanli, had already reached level 43.

This level would be very strong in other teams, but it's completely insufficient against the Royal Fighting Team. Yu Tianheng, as the captain, shouted, "It's starting! Everyone, activate your Martial Souls, Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

A deep blue dragon soared through the sky, looking down at the seven mammoths below, its eyes showing no fear.

Behind them, the Ghost Leopard, the Black Tortoise, the Wind Chime Bird, and the Seven-Stringed Guqin were also displayed one by one. Compared to the Elephant Armor Academy, the Royal Fighting team had a much more comprehensive lineup, with each position represented.

More importantly, all the Soul Masters, even the worst one, Huan Yin, had just reached level 40.

"As expected of the Royal Battle, their strength is extraordinary. Vice Captain Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling of the Nine Heart Begonia, and Gu Ran, the disciple of Bone Douluo, have not appeared. Clearly, they are still holding back considerable strength." Flander's expression was extremely grave.

Just then, the Heavenly Scale Demon Sword appeared in his hand, revealing five soul rings: one yellow, two purple, and two black, causing everyone present to shrink their pupils slightly.

I had long heard that the Sword Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had absorbed a soul ring beyond his level, with his second soul ring being a thousand years old. But I never expected that his fourth soul ring would be at the ten-thousand-year level. So I suppose that his fifth soul ring would not be as simple as the usual twelve thousand years old.

"As expected, he is a Soul King. However, the fluctuation of his soul power should be around level 52. It seems that he broke through to Soul King not long ago and then reached this level with the help of the soul power provided by the super-limited soul ring." Salas had an expression of no surprise. With Tianlin's cultivation speed, reaching the level of Soul King was already within the expectations of the Spirit Hall.

Of course, the soul power fluctuations he sensed were completely wrong. It was Tianlin who used the soul bone of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm to perfectly hide the leaking soul power. He could reveal as much as he wanted, and unless one's soul power reached level 95 or above, it would be impossible to see through him.

Trying to find out his background isn't that simple.

The Soul Master Competition does not allow the use of external objects, and the Shu Mountain talismans are also within this restriction. Therefore, Tianlin did not intend to violate the rules and rely on concealment talismans to hide. However, soul bones are items within the rules.

Seeing that both sides were ready, DouDou immediately said, "Let the battle begin!"

"The first soul skill, an iron wall!"

As soon as DouDou finished speaking, the Elephant Armor team simultaneously used their first soul skill to enhance their defense, and the seven of them lined up and advanced towards HuangDou.

This is the tactic that the Elephant Armor Sect excels at: using their massive bodies, formidable strength, and defense to constantly pressure the enemy.

Although the opponent's advance was not fast, after being possessed by their martial spirits, these seven people became even more robust, and their seven large figures alone were enough to put pressure on anyone.

In the past, when they were approached like this, the other side would either retreat or take the initiative to attack. But today, the people from Huang Dou did not move at all, as if they were just standing there waiting for the attack.

This greatly displeased Hu Yanli, who was skilled in defense and counter-attack. "Since the opponent is not moving, let's launch a concentrated attack. Target: Jun Tianlin. Use all our third soul skills to crush him! Overwhelm him with our power!"

He still remembered his grandfather's instructions: this battle was not about winning, but about forcing Tianlin to reveal his full strength.

Salas, standing in the stands, gave Huyan Zhen a strange look, his eyes asking, "Is this simpleton really your grandson?"

Hu Yanzhen helplessly rubbed his forehead. "Although Ali has good talent for cultivation, he's not very bright. You can just state the name of your soul skill, but why does he have to shout out who he's attacking and how the soul skill is used before he even makes a move? Is he afraid the other party won't have time to prepare?"

"Haha, that's hilarious! Since you guys are so naive, then I won't hold back." Yu Tianheng laughed loudly. "Stone millstone, help Xiao Tian defend! Oslo, use the wind to disrupt from both sides! Senior Sister Huanyin, get ready!"

Huanyin nodded, placed her fingers on the strings, but did not play immediately, as if waiting for something.

At this moment, among the seven members of the Elephant Armor, the Shi brothers, relying on their formidable defensive power, each dragged out two Soul Masters, while the two Soul Grandmasters, second only to Hu Yanli, were constantly harassed by the two Agility-type Soul Masters from Huang Dou. Only Hu Yanli remained, and the Diamond Mammoth raised its front legs and pressed down fiercely on Tian Lin.

"bang"

The two giant feet stomped on the ground at the same time, shaking the entire venue.

"Boss! Are you alright?" Ma Hongjun called out anxiously from the stands.

Ning Rongrong smiled and said, "It's alright, such a weak attack can't do anything to Brother Jian."

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, it was revealed that Tian Lin had simply supported Hu Yanli's crushing attack with his bare hands, appearing completely unfazed and unconcerned.
