Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

"Hehe, is this all the Elephant Armor Academy, which is renowned for its size, strength, and unparalleled defense, has to offer?" Tianlin chuckled, then exerted all his strength to lift Huyan Li up.

It should be noted that Hu Yanli had already completed the Martial Soul Possession at this moment and was using his third Soul Skill to suppress and kill. The pressure he brought at this moment was far more than just a thousand catties, but Tian Lin lifted it up with his bare body and looked extremely relaxed.

“A real mammoth weighs no less than six thousand kilograms. Huyanli, you're still far from it. Fly!” Tianlin threw Huyanli forcefully, sending him flying off the field.

"Big Brother!" Hu Yanshan quickly used his trunk to wrap around Hu Yanli. Upon seeing this, Hu Yanli immediately withdrew from his Martial Soul Possession state, which made him much lighter. Hu Yanshan easily wrapped him back up.

"That's quite clever of you at a time like this, but actually it would have been better if you had just flown out obediently." Tianlin turned to look at Senior Huanyin.

She nodded, indicating that everything was ready. All that everyone had done was to buy her time for her soul skill.

"Third Soul Skill, Plum Blossom Reflecting Snow!"

Huan Yin's beautiful fingers began to play, and the wonderful music spread throughout the venue. A burst of light flashed around Huang Dou and the others, but their strength did not seem to have increased at all, which puzzled the audience in the stands, including Bone Douluo Gu Rong and the Soul Douluos.

Since it's a soul skill that affects one's own people, it's naturally a support soul skill. But how can a support soul skill remain unchanged after it's used up?

"Everyone, end the battle within thirty seconds, quick!" Yu Tianheng issued the captain's order. Defeating the Elephant Armor Academy, renowned for its defense, in thirty seconds was a testament to his absolute confidence in his teammates' abilities.

Moreover, as fellow captains, he naturally approached the opposing captain, Huyan Li. Tianlin, too lazy to argue with him, charged towards Huyan Shan and Huyan Ba.

At the same time, the Shi brothers, Oslo and Yufeng, also responded and attacked their respective opponents.

Oslo and Yufeng are the fastest and the first to attack their opponents.

"First Soul Skill, Wing Blade."

"First Soul Skill, Leopard Shadow Assault."

Both were physical attack skills. Upon seeing this, their opponents sneered. They thought that such attacks were beneath them to think they could break through their defenses.

But what happened next terrified them. When the sharp wings and leopard claws swept across their chests, their defenses were as flimsy as paper, completely useless. With a sharp pain, their chests were instantly covered in blood and gore.

Although it was only a superficial injury, it still shocked the two men. While the two big guys were stunned, Osro went around behind them and kicked them into the air with both feet. Then, he used the wind to create a whirlwind and blow them away.

Similarly, the Shi brothers also used their soul skill Xuanwu Zhen to knock their opponents away. Tianlin even put away his demon sword, grabbed Huyanba and Huyanshan's elephant trunks with both hands, and threw them both off the field with an over-the-shoulder throw.

"How is this possible? What's wrong with everyone? Where is our proudest defense?" Hu Yanli looked at the six team members who had already entered the field in disbelief. In less than twenty seconds, how could he suddenly be the only one left?

"Now is not the time for you to look around. Your opponent is here." Yu Tianheng suddenly attacked him, his lightning-cracking dragon claws grabbing Hu Yanli's face and pushing him away from the arena.

This time he finally understood why his teammates lost so quickly. This Yu Tianheng could ignore his defense, and presumably the others were in the same situation.

Without defense, what difference is there between the Elephant Armor Sect members and useless trash?

“Ignore defense, I understand now. That Guqin Soul Master from the Royal Battle team, her third Soul Skill indeed doesn't provide any boost, but instead adds an ignore status effect to the entire team.” Ning Fengzhi understood; he had seen through the truth.

“Fengzhi, what does this mean?” Gu Rong asked.

"The so-called 'ignore' means ignoring the state of a certain attribute of the opponent. Obviously, in this royal battle, the side ignored the defensive power of the Elephant Armor Academy."

"This is too targeted! I didn't expect that the new girl, despite her low level, would possess such a powerful soul skill." Gu Rong was somewhat surprised. This soul skill not only targeted the Elephant Armor Sect but also him. If that girl were a Title Douluo, she could instantly reduce Gu Rong's strength by seventy percent.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head. "It's not that simple. Although this soul skill is powerful, it requires a period of charging. If Tianlin and others hadn't been there to block her, she wouldn't have even had a chance to use the soul skill."

In other words, this soul skill is useless without the support of strong teammates.

However, now that Huanyin has found Tianlin and others, it's enough for her to shine on the field.

"Hmph!" At this moment, seeing that Huyan Li was about to be pushed out, Huyan Zhen couldn't help but stand up and his mouth moved slightly.

"Isn't what Sect Master Huyan did unfair?" Ning Fengzhi glanced at him and frowned.

"I don't understand what Sect Master Ning means. Did I say anything?" Hu Yanzhen wasn't worried at all. As long as the secret transmission wasn't intercepted, no one would be able to detect it.

On the Soul Battle Stage, Yu Tianheng had pushed Hu Yanli to the edge of the arena. Victory seemed within reach, but at the last moment, he was blasted away by a huge recoil force, failing at the last hurdle.

At this moment, Hu Yanli seemed to be wearing a golden helmet, exuding an aura of dominance.

"This is... a skull!" The audience erupted in cheers. They never expected to see a soul bone in the very first match of this competition, especially a head soul bone, which is ranked second among the six major body parts.

Huan Yin's soul skill can only ignore the soul master's own defense, but it cannot ignore the buffs from the soul bone. Unfortunately, Yu Tianheng attacked Hu Yanli's head, and ended up being outmaneuvered.

"You bunch of bastards, watch how I... uh!" Hu Yanli was about to retaliate when he didn't notice that Tian Lin had appeared in front of him at some point and struck him in the chest with the blade of the Demon Sword, easily knocking him off the stage.

"You've activated your soul bone but aren't fighting back, you're just spouting threats. Are you bored?" Tianlin had known for a long time that Huyan Li possessed a soul bone, so he had been on guard all along.

Poor Hu Yanli, not only did he fail to force out Tian Lin's true strength, he also exposed that he possessed a soul bone, but it had no effect whatsoever.

The only purpose of that soul bone was to buy time for thirty seconds, rendering Yu Tianheng's boastful words ineffective.

"Xiao Tian, ​​that's my prey. How could you steal my kill?" Yu Tianheng said unhappily.

Huan Yin deserves much credit for the victory in this match. The others also each defeated at least one opponent, and Tian Lin even knocked three Soul Masters off the stage. However, as the captain, he failed to make any contribution.

At this moment, Tianlin completely disregarded his displeasure and made sarcastic remarks, "Let's go, Captain who's just here for show, let's leave the competition venue to the next group's opponents."

“Yeah, Captain who’s just here for show, I want soy sauce fried rice tonight,” Oslo said with a laugh beside Tianlin.

"You little brat, who are you calling a bystander? If I hadn't pushed Huyan Li to the edge of the field, would Xiao Tian have been able to knock him down so easily?"

Tianheng angrily chased after them. These two guys were far too disrespectful to him as captain; he had to teach them a lesson.

Chapter 151 The 40,000-Year-Old Golden Elephant Skull

"Is this the current Royal Fighting Team? Apart from that Guqin Soul Master, none of the others used more than their second Soul Skill. And the strongest, Yu Tianheng and Jun Tianlin, won easily without even revealing their first Soul Skill. Very good." Emperor Xueye nodded in satisfaction and turned to look at Meng Shenji and the others. "Three Education Committee members, thank you for training such outstanding children and bringing glory to our empire."

Meng Shenji quickly bowed and thanked him, "Your Majesty is too kind. I dare not take credit for this. Usually, it is Qin Ming, a Tian Dou level teacher at the academy, who trains them. I am just providing some resources for the children."

"Oh, Qin Ming? He must be quite strong to have trained such outstanding children." Emperor Xueye's interest was piqued upon hearing this.

"That's for sure. Qin is only thirty-four years old this year, but his soul power has already reached level sixty-eight. In about a year, he will definitely be able to advance to Soul Saint. In the current records on the continent, apart from His Holiness the Pope of the Spirit Hall and His Holiness the current Haotian Sect leader, I'm afraid there is no one else who can surpass him."

"I predict that, at the earliest twenty years, at the latest thirty years, Xiao Qin will definitely be able to break into the realm of Title Douluo."

Meng Shenji is paving the way for Qin Ming's future. Just as Tian Lin hopes to win Qin Ming over to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Meng Shenji, who is loyal to the royal family, also hopes that Qin Ming can officially join the Heaven Dou Empire.

Then in the future, their Heaven Dou Empire will be able to truly have a Title Douluo of their own, instead of just relying on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to maintain appearances.

"Well, after the competition, have Teacher Qin come to see me. I want to personally reward him for his hard work for my Heaven Dou Royal Academy," Emperor Xue Ye ordered. Although he wasn't exactly a great ruler of all time, he still had the manners of respecting and valuing talent. Besides, a future Title Douluo was worth winning over.

"Hmph!" Hu Yanzhen, who was standing to the side, heard Emperor Xueye and Meng Shenji praising Huang Dou and the others and Qin Ming incessantly. He stood up angrily and left without even saying goodbye.

This was quite an impolite act in front of Emperor Xueye. However, although the fact that the four lower sects had submitted to the Spirit Hall was not universally known, these important figures knew about it to some extent.

Although the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire haven't publicly fallen out, they are secretly at odds. With Hu Yanzhen backed by the Spirit Hall, Emperor Xue Ye can do nothing about Hu Yanzhen's actions except feel displeased and angry.

"The relationship between the four lower sects and the Spirit Hall and the two great empires is getting worse and worse." Ning Fengzhi closed his eyes and pondered. "The more peaceful the continent is now, the more violent it will be when it erupts. What will become of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School then? It seems that after this competition ends, I need to find time to have a good discussion with Xiao Tian."

As the sect leader, Ning Fengzhi always thought about the development of the sect. Even when he chose to support the Heaven Dou Empire, it was only to use the power of the country to develop the sect.

However, without realizing it, when he made a major decision, the first person he thought of changed from Chen Xin and Gu Rong to Tian Lin. It wasn't that he trusted Tian Lin more than the two Guardian Douluo, but rather that while Chen Xin and the others were good at fighting, when it came to scheming and trickery, and things that required cleverness, they were really no match for Tian Lin.

After winning their first battle, the Royal Fighting Team celebrated as they walked out of the venue, only to run into the defeated Elephant Armor Academy.

Huyanli glanced at Tianlin defiantly. Although he didn't say a word, Tianlin saw hatred in his eyes. This guy had completely inherited his grandfather Huyanzhen's hostility towards the three upper sects. The people of the Elephant Armor Sect were all simpletons who wore their emotions on their sleeves. Just now, his grandfather had offended Emperor Xueye, and he was making no attempt to hide his hatred for Tianlin.

Is this because they're afraid the other party won't sense their hostility?

"Xiao Tian, ​​Hu Yanli seems really unhappy with you. I can sense his resentment and anger," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm transmitted telepathically.

“Brother Tianmeng, although I don’t have your perception of others, this big oaf’s thoughts are all written on his face, anyone can see that, right? But the Elephant Armor Sect will be my enemy sooner or later, I don’t care.” Tianlin said indifferently, “But Huyan Li’s soul bone looks very high-level. Brother Tianmeng, you are knowledgeable, can you tell what kind of soul beast it is, and how old it is?”

"Oh, you've come to the right person. Back in the day, I escaped from the far north to the sea, and then from the sea to the land. I've traveled all over the world. What kind of soul beast haven't I seen?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said proudly. He could make escaping sound as refreshing and unconventional as traveling. Tianmeng's thick skin was truly something else.

"Looking at the shape of Huyan Li's skull, it should also be from an elephant-type soul beast. If I'm not mistaken, it must be the Emperor Golden Elephant. It is one of the top elephant-type soul beasts, with amazing strength and invincible defense. Its attribute is metal, but it is not only not afraid of fire, but can also suppress fire. More importantly, the age of Huyan Li's soul bone should be at least 40,000 years. Among soul bones under 100,000 years old, it can be called a top-grade one."

"A 40,000-year-old imperial golden elephant skull! What a treasure! Should I keep it for Gu Ran, or give it to Hong Jun? Actually, the two Brother Shis have been very kind to me, so giving it to them wouldn't be a problem." Tian Lin thought to himself as he walked.

It was obvious that he had his eye on this soul bone and was determined to get it. The Soul Hunting Operation would be the best opportunity.

Hu Yanli suddenly felt a cold wind blow across his neck, and his heart skipped a beat. Could it be because his soul bone was exposed today that someone was watching him? No, he had to hurry back to Hu Yanzhen's side, otherwise he would feel completely unsafe.

The battle continues. After the Royal Fighting match ended, several more matches were played. Teams like Kamikaze, Blazing Fire, and Thunder lived up to their reputation as veteran powerhouses, easily winning most of them.

Next, it was finally Shrek Academy's turn to appear. This time, Grandmaster couldn't hold back as much strength as in the original story because their team only had three Soul Masters. If they couldn't secure qualification, what use would it be to keep more trump cards?

Therefore, apart from Ning Rongrong, who was used as a trump card, six members of the Shrek Seven Devils participated this time, with the healing-type Jiang Zhu replacing Ning Rongrong.

With two Soul Masters and five high-level Soul Venerables, the configuration is not bad among all academies. After all, Five Elements Academy usually has at least three Soul Masters. What is surprising is their age. They are all around thirteen or fourteen years old, with the oldest, Dai Mubai, being only about seventeen. Such a young age to have such a high level.

If these guys were their age, including those from the Five Elements Academy, probably no one could guarantee defeating them.

Tianlin sat down in the stands. Although it was a pity that he couldn't see his Rongrong's performance, it didn't matter. He could observe Ma Hongjun and Oscar's recent progress first.

Chapter 152 Shrek Academy's Explosive Power Against the Purple Star Phoenix

Shrek Academy's opponent in this match is Purple Star Academy. Like Elephant Armor Academy, they also have three Soul Masters. However, their three Soul Masters are not as high-level as Elephant Armor Academy's, and are all around level 40 to 41.

On the Shrek Academy side, everyone activated their martial souls, but this time Tang San didn't attract anyone's attention. After all, it was just a small Blue Silver Grass, and its level was only thirty-nine, so it didn't attract anyone's attention.

Almost everyone looked at Ma Hongjun.

"This is the Fire Phoenix, a top-tier martial soul second only to a god-level martial soul, and it has even broken through to the Soul Master level. Shrek Academy actually has such an existence." Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan and others exclaimed in surprise.

Unlike the original story, because Shrek Academy has never been to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they don't know about the Shrek Seven Devils.

Emperor Xueye also stared intently at Ma Hongjun. Their royal family's swan martial soul was also a flying beast martial soul, which was considered quite good among ordinary martial souls, but it was far inferior to the fire phoenix.

"I wonder who this young man is?" Salas said, clearly also eyeing Ma Hongjun.

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi spoke up, "Your Majesty, Bishop Salas, Hong Jun is a member of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, as is that food-type Soul Master. In addition, my daughter is currently studying at Shrek Academy, but she did not participate in this competition."

"Oh, could it be that Shrek Academy is secretly supported by your sect?" Emperor Xueye said with a smile. Although it was a pity that Ma Hongjun already belonged to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and he could not win him over, it was still better than such a genius belonging to the Spirit Hall.

On the other side, Salas's expression was much uglier. Ning Fengzhi said that his daughter was also at Shrek Academy, which was obviously telling him not to mess with Ma Hongjun and Oscar.

In response to Emperor Xueye's question, Ning Fengzhi replied with a light laugh, "That's not it. Shrek Academy has nothing to do with my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. It's just that my daughter was willful and had a falling out with Xiaotian before. She ran away from home and randomly joined an academy. Coincidentally, there were a few geniuses in this academy, so my daughter invited them to join the sect."

Ning Fengzhi spoke casually, but the others couldn't help but feel envious. What luck Ning Rongrong had! Even running away from home, she could find such a genius. Not to mention Ma Hongjun, Oscar was also an absolute genius. Given the difficulty of food-type cultivation, to reach level thirty-nine at his age, his talent was so high that it was no less than the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall.

Emperor Xueye glanced back at his younger brother, Prince Xuexing, a meaning in his eyes: "Go back and arrange for Princess Xueke to run away from home. Don't come back until you find three Title Douluo talents."

How could the daughter of a noble royal family have less luck than Ning Rongrong?

Prince Xuexing nodded, indicating his meaning, "Understood, elder brother, arrange it immediately."

The battle on the Soul Arena has begun. Dai Mubai shouted, "Everyone, prepare for the One-Hit Strategy!"

Shrek is much smarter than Elephant Armor. They discuss various tactics in advance and name them. During the battle, they just need to say their names. After all, who knows how to do a one-hit kill?

Unlike Xiangjia, who announces who he'll attack and how he'll attack right there on the field in front of his opponent; his intelligence is truly pathetic.

"Second Soul Skill, Healing Array!" Jiangzhu slammed her scepter into the ground, creating a healing array that spread throughout the area.

"This Shrek Academy is really arrogant, actually healing their opponent." With Gu Rong's keen eye, he could naturally see that Jiang Zhu's soul skill was actually aimed at Purple Star Academy.

Is this because they're afraid their opponents' injuries will be too severe, causing them to lose the competition? It seems they're very confident in their so-called one-hit-kill tactic.
