Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

“Very good. You have some of the spirit of your master, Sword Douluo. Those who have been kind to you will never be forgotten, even in death. Those who have not been kind to you, let alone me, even the gods will not make your sword hearts bow down,” Bibi Dong praised.

Among the non-Spirit Hall Title Douluos, Sword Douluo Chen Xin was one she could barely find acceptable.

Bibi Dong's gaze did not linger on Tian Lin, but instead turned to Tang San, who was completely lacking in manners. To her, this person was more important.

Like himself, he possesses twin martial souls and has even greater potential than Sword Lord.

The relationship between them is even more intricate. Tang Hao's son, who has a deep-seated hatred for the Spirit Hall, and the disciple of the Grandmaster, all of which make her more hesitant to take action later.

She could disregard the feelings of everyone in the world, including her own daughter Qian Renxue, but she could not completely ignore the master.

"I see hope in you. Before the Papal Palace, I hope to see all your talents and strength. The ultimate victor will receive the Spirit Hall's greatest reward." Bibi Dong said, lightly waving her scepter.

No one saw clearly how she did it; the three points of light instantly magnified in front of Bibi Dong and floated in mid-air.

There were three different objects, none of them large, shaped like skeletons: a right arm bone, a torso bone, and a left leg bone. They shimmered with fiery red, pale blue, and dark green light, respectively.

Soul bones—those were the three soul bones Qin Ming had mentioned before.

Chapter 196 Three Soul Bones

The three soul bones flashed with light, and in an instant, the entire Spirit City was in an uproar.

Aside from those with inside information who already knew about the final reward, who could have imagined it would be three soul bones? The sheer radiance of the bones revealed their exceptional quality. Even the members of the Spirit Hall couldn't help but gleam with greed.

In the past, even the appearance of a single soul bone would cause a bloody struggle, let alone three.

If this weren't the Papal Palace, and if it weren't for the presence of several Title Douluos, someone would probably have already been unable to suppress their greed and rushed up to snatch it.

This is a soul bone! For a soul master, it is the most precious thing, something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought after.

Furthermore, among soul bones, there are distinctions of high and low value, with their inherent quality being extremely important. Aside from external soul bones that can evolve, the higher the level of the soul beast that produced the ordinary soul bone, the greater its effectiveness.

These three pieces are clearly of exceptional quality, just by looking at them.

At this moment, Ghost Douluo, who was standing behind the Pope, stepped forward and introduced in his deep voice, "These three soul bones are the Crystal Body of Concentration and Tranquility, the Flame Right Arm of Explosion and Burning, and the Wind-Chasing Left Leg of Rapid Advancement. They all come from ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts. Except for the Crystal Body, which is twenty-thousand-year-old, the other two are produced by soul beasts that are over thirty-thousand-year-old. Any one of them is a top-grade soul bone."

After hearing the ghost's description, everyone was even more excited. They were all ten-thousand-year-old soul bones, and two of them were over thirty thousand years old. Although the crystal body was only at the twenty-thousand-year level, given the rarity of torso bones, the value of this soul bone was even higher than the other two.

"It's not the skull of spiritual wisdom? It seems Bibi Dong has been secretly giving her disciple special training." Tianlin noticed this during the last match. The reason why Hu Liena's spiritual power is now strong enough to forcibly charm the six people from Tianshui in one go is because she has an extra skull soul bone.

"Xiao Tian, ​​these three soul bones are all good stuff! The Flame Right Arm and the Wind Chaser Left Leg are undoubtedly designed to increase attack and speed, possessing rich fire and wind attributes. As for the Crystal Body, it's the rarest type of gemstone torso. If I'm not mistaken, the soul master who absorbs this soul bone will have their mental and soul power recover extremely quickly in battle," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said excitedly.

There's nothing we can do; any one of these three pieces is perfectly suited for Tianlin.

Unfortunately, Tianlin didn't want any of them. The crystal body was clearly the most suitable for Ye Lingling, and he wouldn't take it. As for the Wind Chaser's left leg and the Flame Right Arm, they were nothing to him.

He knew of the existence of many 100,000-year-old soul beasts. Instead of worrying about these three pieces, he might as well absorb the 100,000-year-old soul bone directly.

"There can only be one victor, and the same goes for the champion. Therefore, these three soul bones will belong to the final champion team. I hope that the three academies that have entered the top three will give their all and win this honor," the Pope said calmly.

No matter what level a Soul Master is, no one can resist the urge to gleam upon seeing a Soul Bone. This is especially true with three Soul Bones; an intense fighting spirit surged forth from the contestants almost instantly.

Bibi Dong continued, "This morning, there will be an individual elimination tournament with seven players from each of your three teams. The team that survives will have an advantage and will directly enter the championship battle tomorrow. The two losing teams will compete for the other final spot this afternoon. Now, you can each send one player to the stage."

Just then, the master suddenly said, "Wait, Your Holiness, Shrek Academy concedes defeat in this individual elimination tournament."

He chose to give up directly, which was actually a very smart move, because Shrek Academy had no advantage in one-on-one combat against the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Sword Master.

Ning Rongrong is a support class and can't play, so the rest of them will only get injured one by one by the two academies, affecting the subsequent matches, which is not worth it.

Only by using his trump card in team battles can he have any hope of winning.

Bibi Dong looked at the master, "Why?"

The master placed his hands behind his back and said calmly, "For no reason other than that, I think admitting defeat is our right."

The master's extremely calm words rang out like a thunderclap in front of the Papal Palace. There was nothing wrong with his words themselves; the problem was with the person he was addressing. By saying this, he was undoubtedly contradicting the Pope.

The supreme ruler of the Spirit Hall.

Anyone present who was a Soul Master of Level 60 or above could see that the Grandmaster himself was not very strong. He was not even Level 30. Yet, this kind of person dared to defy the most authoritative person in the Soul Master world.

But what was even more unexpected was that Pope Bibi Dong slowly stood up, nodded to the master, and said, "You are right, this is your right. I apologize for asking the unnecessary question, Elder Yu."

The conversation between Grandmaster and Pope Bibi Dong was held in front of all the powerful figures of the Spirit Hall and all the Soul Masters watching the battle. She publicly declared that Yu Xiaogang was an elder of the Spirit Hall, which subtly elevated his status and was clearly an attempt to protect him.

After all, even if Bibi Dong herself didn't care about defying the Pope, many soul masters in the soul master world who admired or even secretly loved Bibi Dong would not let him off the hook.

The chances of a master dying a violent death on the street will increase significantly.

But now no one dares to do that. After all, assassinating an honorary elder of the Spirit Hall is tantamount to provoking the Spirit Hall. Do they want to live too long?

"How boring." Tianlin thought disdainfully. This Bibi Dong is such a genius, yet he doesn't know why she is so devoted to this Yu Xiaogang.

However, that was none of his business. Tianlin moved his lips slightly and secretly transmitted his voice to his teacher, Qin Ming.

Qin Ming glanced at Tian Lin with a puzzled look, but didn't ask any further questions. He then nodded to him and stepped forward, saying, "Your Holiness, since that's the case, then my Royal Fighting Team will also forfeit the individual competition and voluntarily enter the loser's bracket."

"Your Spirit Hall Academy team is so strong, I'd like to have more time to study tactics. Therefore, let's postpone the match against Spirit Hall Academy until tomorrow." Unlike Yu Xiaogang, Qin Ming didn't have Bibi Dong backing him up, so even if he wanted to admit defeat, he had to explain the reasons clearly.

Although the reason was somewhat absurd, in a one-on-one fight, would Sword Lord be afraid of the Golden Generation? He could probably sweep them all aside by himself. Anyone with eyes could see that the Golden Generation only had a chance to suppress Tianlin when the three of them joined forces.

However, even if it's fake, as long as there's evidence and reason, no one can say anything. Moreover, Qin Ming even complimented the Spirit Hall, leaving no room for criticism. Seeing this, Bibi Dong could only nod and say, "In that case, let's hold the match between Heaven Dou Royal Academy and Shrek Academy this afternoon. The winner will advance to participate in tomorrow's finals."

Chapter 197 Ning Rongrong's Dilemma: Seven-in-One Fusion Technique

After leaving the Papal Palace, they learned that the match between the Royal Fighters and Shrek Academy was scheduled for the afternoon, and they needed to go back and prepare.

Tianlin noticed that Ning Rongrong's expression was somewhat conflicted when she left, probably because she didn't want to confront him.

Back at their lodgings, Grandmaster summoned the Shrek Seven Devils to his room, his gaze sweeping over them. “In this afternoon’s match, you will face your strongest opponents. I can say with certainty that the strength of the Royal Fighters is actually above that of the Spirit Hall, because among them is that Sword Lord. To be honest, even though I have traveled the continent for decades and collected information on countless Soul Masters, I have never seen a genius like him.”

"If it weren't for the existence of Xiao San and Bibi Dong, two soul masters with twin martial souls, he would definitely have become another unshakable mountain after the Twin Yue of the soul master world back then."

"Master, what should we do? Should we just admit defeat?" Dai Mubai stepped forward and asked. He didn't really care. Huang Dou was a powerful enemy that even the Star Luo Royal Academy had defeated, while he couldn't even beat Davis. He couldn't see any hope of victory at all.

The master shook his head. "No, there is another way to win: the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique. The key to unleashing this technique lies with Xiao San and Rong Rong."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at the two. Tang San was expressionless, seemingly lost in thought. The reason why the Grandmaster chose him was simple: among the current Shrek Seven Devils, his spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer, was the most powerful. Therefore, choosing this spirit as the carrier for the seven-in-one fusion skill was a perfectly normal choice.

Ning Rongrong, however, looked quite troubled. Not long ago, in order to ensure victory, the master taught her the theory of martial soul fusion that she had always wanted. With the help of her talent ring fusion, she could almost guarantee that she could complete the seven-in-one fusion technique.

However, after learning this move, the first opponent she had to face was her lover. How could Ning Rongrong accept this?

“Rongrong, I know that Sword Lord is the one you love, but remember, you are rivals now, and this is just a competition. Even if we defeat him with the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique, it won’t really affect him. If he blames you for this little thing, then to be honest, I would think he is not good enough for you,” the master advised.

This time he was right. If Tianlin blamed Ning Rongrong for taking things seriously, not only would others be disappointed in Tianlin himself for being so petty.

“I…I understand, Master,” Ning Rongrong said hesitantly.

Seeing her like this, everyone could see that she still hadn't made up her mind. But no one blamed her. Using the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique against the person she loved most would be a dilemma for any girl.

This is something Ning Rongrong needs to figure out herself.

Meanwhile, Tianlin also found Ning Fengzhi and asked him for a favor.

Then, as afternoon approached, the two teams, having overcome numerous obstacles, stood on the competition field in front of the Papal Palace, under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

"Brother Jun, I won't hold back today, so you'd better be prepared," Tang San said confidently.

Seeing his expression, and considering Ning Rongrong's conflicted look that morning, Tianlin knew his prediction was correct; they were definitely going to use the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique.

Tianlin smiled calmly, "Then I'll be waiting for you anytime. You should also be prepared; I won't hold back."

The tension between the two men escalated slightly.

"Brother Jian, you must be careful, I'm going to..." Ning Rongrong seemed to want to say something.

But Tianlin interrupted her, saying, "Rongrong, you don't need to tell me anything. Don't forget, we are also opponents now. Leaking information at this time would be a betrayal to your partners."

"There is only one thing you need to do now: use all your strength to help them defeat me. Only then will you live up to your reputation as the next sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Upon hearing Tianlin's words, even the master, who harbored a deep grudge against him, nodded in agreement, a rare occurrence. Although this Sword Master was rude to him, at least he was upright and honorable during the competition.

Sword Dao Chenxin looked at the disciples below the arena with pride. Indeed, in battle, regardless of victory or defeat, one must be upright and honorable to live up to the name of a swordsman.

Tianlin's words were worth ten of others'. With his encouragement, the confusion in Ning Rongrong's eyes gradually disappeared, and she nodded resolutely at Tianlin. It seemed that she had finally made up her mind.

"Alright, both sides are ready, let the match begin!"

At the referee's command, the members of the Royal Fighting Team immediately activated their Martial Souls and prepared for battle.

Yu Tianheng didn't play today, since he could reveal his secret of breaking through to the fifth ring when dealing with the Spirit Hall Academy, which would allow him to catch the opponent off guard.

Therefore, those standing at the forefront today are the two Soul Kings, Tianlin and Guran.

The other five players stood in a two-thirds or three-thirds formation, a very traditional formation.

However, Shrek Academy surprised everyone by not setting up their usual formation, but instead forming a circle.

Inside the circle were only Ning Rongrong and Meng Yiran.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't play today either, because for the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique, apart from the user, the higher the soul power of others, the better. Meng Yiran's soul power is currently superior to Zhu Zhuqing's; she is already very close to the Soul Master level.

Besides the two in the middle, the soul power of the other five people also surged wildly, converging towards the center.

what is this?

Even Pope Bibi Dong looked surprised; even she didn't quite understand what Shrek Academy was planning to do.

Ning Fengzhi, on the other hand, was watching while secretly communicating with Qin Ming, the teacher of the Royal Fighting Team.

Tang San, Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar took steps in an unusually synchronized manner, as if following a special rhythm. The fluctuations of their soul power also formed a special trajectory, constantly emanating from their bodies.

Standing in the center of the formation, Ning Rongrong and Meng Yiran held hands and closed their eyes at the same time. Nine-colored precious light rose from Ning Rongrong's body, while a faint purple light appeared on Meng Yiran's body. The two beams of light swirled and rushed towards the sky.

"Change formation!" Tang San shouted.

Shrek Academy's formation changed again, this time with seven people standing in a straight line, Tang San at the front, and Ning Rongrong and Meng Yiran at the back.

Meng Yiran gathered all the energy she had just gathered and poured it into Ning Rongrong's body.

At the same time, Ning Rongrong activated her special talent, Fusion Ring.

The energy was continuously channeled into the body of the previous person, and so on, layer by layer, until finally, the enormous soul power was concentrated in Tang San's body.

Chapter 198 Demon Sword VS Haotian Hammer

"That's the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique!"

At this point, how could the various titled Douluo present not see it? They were immediately filled with shock.

While the execution of this seven-in-one fusion technique is not as demanding as that of a martial soul fusion technique, it still has significant limitations.

Generally speaking, this kind of fusion skill only appears in soul masters whose martial souls and soul skills are extremely similar. Just like the seven members of Canghui Academy, they all had gem martial souls and followed the same cultivation path, the path of illusion, which enabled them to complete the seven-in-one fusion skill.

But the Shrek Academy students were different; each of them possessed a completely different martial soul, with varying degrees of emphasis. The fact that seven people with such entirely different martial souls could actually unleash a seven-in-one fusion technique filled even the well-informed Pope and Title Douluos with disbelief.
