___
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan was peaceful that night. The moon shone brightly, and the stars dotted the sky. It should have been a tranquil evening but inside the Seven Treasures Hall, Ning Fengzhi and the others were once again startled by Jun Tianlin.
This time, it was because Jun Tianlin explained the fifth soul skill of his Demon Sword, Phantom Water Thunder.
As they exchanged glances, Tian Meng laughed and said "Haha, that's the expression! When I first heard about your soul skill's effect, I had the same expression as them."
[TL:really?]
For Jun Tianlin, the million-year spirit ring naturally brought the greatest improvement. However, for the clan the true divine skill was the fifth soul skill, Phantom Water Thunder.
With Jun Tianlin's current strength, there were no more bottlenecks for soul masters below level 60. When he reached higher levels in the future and this Phantom Water Thunder might even be able to break through the threshold between levels 89 and 90.
"If Jun Tianlin had appeared earlier, Yin Mengyang wouldn't have been trapped in the realm of peak Spirit Douluo for fifteen years" Tian Meng added
"Great! Xiaotian has surprised us again! What we lack now is only time. Once Xiaotian grows, no one will be able to stop the rapid development of our clan" Gu Rong said with his voice filled with excitement
At this point, Ning Fengzhi asked "Xiaotian, is your fifth soul skill as overbearing as your 3rd soul skill, so powerful that others can't remove it?"
Upon hearing this question, Jun Tianlin immediately understood that Ning Fengzhi had the same thought "Of course, Uncle Ning. My enhancement isn't something that others can simply remove."
For ordinary amplification soul skills, if the soul power of the amplified party is strong enough, the effect can be forcibly eliminated. For example, Chen Xin could shatter the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower's light with his immense soul power if he didn't want to accept Ning Fengzhi's amplification
"Great! Xiaotian, your soul skill's effect is greater than I thought! It seems that in the future, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan won't need to worry about soul beasts and the safety of hunting them will be much higher" Ning Fengzhi said, his excitement palpable
"Fengzhi, where has your train of thought gone wrong? I don't understand. What does Xiaotian's soul skill have to do with soul beasts?" Gu Rong asked, confused
"Uncle Gu, Xiaotian's soul skill directly enhances cultivation. For soul masters, cultivation means levels, and for soul beasts, it means age. Think about it: if someone from our clan needs a third soul ring, they just need to find a ten-year-old soul beast, cripple it and let Xiaotian use Phantom Water Thunder to enhance it, turning it into a thousand-year soul beast. This would upgrade the soul beast's age. Don't forget, the soul ring forms based on its state at the time of death. Xiaotian's enhancement doesn't affect the soul ring. Even if he takes back the enhancement from the corpse later, it won't affect the soul ring that has already formed."
Ning Fengzhi's words left Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and Dugu Bo deep in thought. This meant that, in the future, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan could manipulate the lifespan of soul beasts at will and as long as it was within Jun Tianlin's maximum amplification range, they could select the age of soul rings and soul bones they wanted. The strategic significance of this was immense.
"Xiaotian, can what Fengzhi said actually be done?" Chen Xin asked, unsure
Jun Tianlin smiled and nodded "Of course. At my current level of over 50, I can increase a soul beast's age by up to 5,000 years. In other words, if we find a 95,000-year-old soul beast to hunt then I can instantly upgrade it to a 100,000-year-old soul beast."
"And as I grow stronger, this number will increase. And probably when I reach the Titled Douluo level, the Phantom Water Thunder's limit will likely reach 25,000 to 30,000 years. At that point, our clan's chances of obtaining the soul rings and soul bones of 100,000-year-old soul beasts will increase dramatically."
Hearing Jun Tianlin's confirmation, the three Titled Douluo were overjoyed. Just then, Tian Meng noticed Jun Tianlin's intentions "Xiaotian, I finally understand your plan for dealing with the 100,000-year-old Behemoth. With this soul skill, you could even kill it alone, but it's a bit ruthless."
Jun Tianlin said indifferently "being cruel is a path to success. I've never been a good person. Besides, I'm avenging you Brother Tian Meng. Don't forget how they treated you before. You've done me a favor, and whether for myself or to repay you and i won't let the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and the Behemoth go."
"Haha, you're very loyal. I like you. And I don't think you've done anything wrong. They are my enemies, and they are your enemies too. There's no need to hold back when dealing with them" Tian Meng laughed. With hundreds of thousands of years of experience, he understood that using any means to deal with enemies was perfectly acceptable.
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi rose from his seat, walked over to Jun Tianlin and patted his shoulder solemnly "Xiaotian, you are truly a treasure bestowed upon our clan by God. When you break through level 70, I will announce to the world that I officially appoint you as the deputy leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan."
Although he wanted to appoint Jun Tianlin immediately but his strength was still insufficient at the time. It was fine to show him off a little, but being too high-profile could attract unwanted attention
Level 70 would be a crucial turning point. By then, Jun Tianlin would obtain the true form of his martial soul. With his strength, it would be easy for him to challenge higher-level opponents. Even if other sects tried to assassinate him, it might be too late.
Furthermore for Jun Tianlin and with his ultimate attributes and once he passed level 70 then his cultivation would accelerate. and it wouldn't take long before he reached the Titled Douluo realm and by then, no one would be able to rival him.
"Thank you, Uncle Ning. However, rather than being the deputy leader, I would rather be the husband of the next clan head" Jun Tianlin joked, his demands growing
Ning Fengzhi wasn't angry at his boldness. Instead, he smiled and said "Haha, okay, after the Soul Master Competition, I'll arrange an engagement ceremony for you and Rongrong."
Although Jun Tianlin came from humble origins, with his current strength, potential, and importance to the clan, he was fully worthy of Ning Rongrong. Additionally, the two of them were in love, so Ning Fengzhi had no reason to object.
In other words, Ning Fengzhi was genuinely happy to see them married.
Meanwhile, in the Heaven Dou Palace, Snake Spear Douluo had returned with news about Jun Tianlin. For the past few days, he had been stationed near glazed Mountain but had not dared to enter the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan as there were three Titled Douluo there. What if he entered rashly and was discovered?
However, today he saw Jun Tianlin flying into the city on a sword and he quickly returned to report to Qian Renxue.
"Young Master, Jun Tianlin is back and he's entered the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan by flying. It seems his cultivation has increased significantly recently. He can now fly on a sword and just like his master Sword Douluo Chen Xin."
"Really? Xiaotian is working hard!" Qian Renxue smiled faintly and relieved to know Jun Tianlin was doing well. She had not handled government affairs for several days and her ministers were beginning to worry. Now she could return to normal tomorrow.
Seeing Qian Renxue's satisfied smile, Snake Spear Douluo couldn't hide his worry. Although the young master had said from the beginning that he would show no mercy when facing Jun Tianlin in the future, he couldn't help but wonder with that expression, was she really sure she wouldn't spare him in the future?
