Douluo's Spiritual Pearl and Divine Sword

Chapter 130: Chapter 130



Jun Tianlin stayed in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan for several days. He didn't go anywhere except to accompany his parents—he had neglected them for too long in his pursuit of cultivation. As a son, he felt unfilial for not spending more time with them.

With his parents arriving at the clan, Jun Tianlin temporarily set aside his practice to be with them. Chen Xin was considerate enough to grant him three days off, knowing that cultivation should be a balance of work and rest.

Until one day, Jun Tianlin was called to the Seven Treasure Hall because Yin Mengyang had suddenly reappeared. With him came Ning Rongrong, Gu Ran, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, the Unrivaled Dragon Serpent couple, and their granddaughter, Meng Yiran.

Following Qin Ming's suggestion, Shrek Academy had gone to Heaven Dou City to find a suitable high-level spirit master academy to join. Just as in the original novel, they happened to notice the notice for Blue Tyrant Academy posted at the city gate and decided to join.

Jun Tianlin sighed at the corrective power of the plot—though there were some differences, events were still unfolding in a similar way. This time, however, Shrek was not humiliated at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, meaning the incident of Qin Ming leaving in anger did not occur, and he remained the leader of the Royal Academy.

[TL:at this rate im blaming asura god for the manipulation behind the scene]

As for Tang San, he was not captured by Dugu Bo and stayed in the academy to cultivate, meaning he had no chance of obtaining the immortal hrbs from Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire Well.

Heaven Dou City was very close to Glazed Mountain. The reason for their return today was two reason: first, because Ning Rongrong had broken through to the Spirit Elder level and could now take the Bu Tian Pill, and second, to discuss with Ning Fengzhi the matter of the Unrivaled Dragon Serpent couple and Ma Hongjun joining the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan.

Ning Fengzhi warmly welcomed the Unrivaled Dragon Serpent couple into the clan. After all, with there martial fusion, they were strong enough to rival ordinary Titled Douluo at levels 91 or 92. No clan would refuse such powerful combat strength.

As for Oscar, he was now considered a member of the Dragon Serpent Family. After meeting Ning Rongrong, he quickly realized that his feelings for her were not as deep as he had once thought, and he let them go with little hesitation. As a single man, he jokingly admitted that he couldn't resist a beauty trap—he had only just moved on from his past feelings and Meng Yiran who was beautiful that he quickly fell for her instead.

Meng Yiran had also completed her withdrawal from Crypted Academy and joined the current Shrek Academy. Although her talent was not as outstanding as that of the Shrek Seven Devils, it was still on par with the substitutes in the original work—qualifying her as a genius.

[TL:is there substitute really that strong?]

For Oscar's sake, Flender even made an exception and accepted this transfer student. However, Yu Xiaogang believed that Meng Yiran's talent was not high enough and deemed her unworthy of his teachings. This stance angered the Unrivaled Dragon Serpent couple, Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang, to the heavens. If it weren't for Yu Yuanzhen's influence, Yu Xiaogang might have been in serious trouble.

"Yu Xiaogang—a mere spirit grand master who was expelled from his clan—how does he have the confidence to mock a genius who reached the third ring at sixteen?" Jun Tianlin shook his head. As long as she wasn't compared with top-tier geniuses from the Star Luo Empire, Spirit Hall, or Shrek Academy, Meng Yiran could be considered a genius anywhere else.

"Is that so, Brother Jian? I'm telling you, ever since he came to the academy, he's been making me run in circles non-stop, and he hasn't taught me anything useful—let alone the spirit fusion theory that you wanted." Ning Rongrong held Jun Tianlin's hand and complained aggrievedly. "I even brought the theory to him myself and asked for his guidance as a student, but he just said I wasn't ready for such advanced concepts and should start from the basics. Hmph, he's clearly planning to teach all his theories only to Tang San."

Hearing this, Jun Tianlin said "In that case, Rongrong, don't go back to the academy. With me here, the clan's strength will only grow stronger. There's no shortage of such theories."

"That's right! If he considers this theory to be a secret inheritance of his family, then we naturally won't covet it. But since he has already published it for others to learn and discuss, yet refuses to teach or answer his students' questions, what kind of teacher is he?" Meng Yiran was equally resentful. Even though a peerless genius like Jun Tianlin was willing to acknowledge her talent, she was grateful for it—but on the other hand, what qualifications did someone who had never even reached the Spirit Elder level have to mock her?

And even Ma Hongjun and Oscar no longer fully respected Yu Xiaogang, because he had taught them nothing. Ma Hongjun's meditation method had been taught by Flender and Oscar learned his from Sugar Bean Spirit Saint Shao Xin. Even though Yu Xiaogang used his theoretical knowledge to slightly improve their meditation methods but his efforts only earned him a sliver of their respect.

"The theory of martial soul fusion—if it's true, it will be of great benefit to our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan" Ning Fengzhi said pragmatically "Among our direct disciples, many besides Rongrong have the talent for fusion. This theory could indeed strengthen our clan." However, not forgetting his daughter's well-being, he suddenly changed the subject, slamming his clan leader's staff against the ground and saying angrily "But it's just a small theory. I won't let my precious daughter suffer for it! If i didn't have other important matters to handle, I would have gone to Shrek Academy myself and taken her out. It's better not to stay there."

Ning Fengzhi had indeed been very busy lately. He locked himself in the data room every day, and no one knew what he was researching—even the clan's affairs had been left to Gu Rong and Chen Xin.

Ning Rongrong, feeling touched by the concern from both Jun Tianlin and Ning Fengzhi and shook her head and said "It doesn't matter. I will continue to stay in Shrek—not because of him, but out of responsibility. Since I've joined, I will stay until graduation and take care of Hongjun. Brother Jian, you don't know how lazy he gets when you're not around. Without supervision, it's impossible."

[TL:asura god be giving slight suggestion again]

Hearing this, Jun Tianlin stared seriously at Ma Hongjun. Ma Hongjun was frightened and broke into a cold sweat, hurriedly defending himself. "Boss, I wanted to slack off at first, but Rongrong saw right through me. Now I'm serious about following your life motto. My spirit power has been improving rapidly, and I'm already close to level 30."

Yin Mengyang nodded. "I can confirm that. Under Rongrong's supervision, this little fatty has been working hard. But don't get complacent—at this pace, he's still far behind Xiaotian and Gu Ran."

"Forget it, that's barely enough to pass." Jun Tianlin didn't pursue the matter any further

"Kid, your name is Ma Hongjun, right? And your martial soul is the Fire Phoenix?" Ning Fengzhi stepped forward and asked gently

"Yes, Clan Head," Ma Hongjun replied, though he was a little nervous around Ning Fengzhi. However, compared to Jun Tianlin, Ning Fengzhi's warm smile put him at ease.

"Don't be so reserved. Since you're friends with Jun Tianlin and Rongrong, you can just call me Uncle Ning" Ning Fengzhi said with a smile. "Hongjun, your Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul is undoubtedly a top-tier beast martial soul blessed by nature. Though its flames are not yet pure, its power is already enough to rival the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Once your Phoenix flame is completely purified, it might even reach the god-level. Such talent is a gift—you must cherish it and work harder than others."

"If you trust me, Uncle Ning promises to dedicate his entire life to helping your martial soul complete its final evolution. However, the key to everything lies within you. If you can't keep up with your own growth, then even if I find a way, you won't be able to enjoy the results."

If Jun Tianlin was the villain, then Ning Fengzhi was the good guy. Ma Hongjun was deeply moved. With such an exemplary clan leader, his sense of belonging to the clan would only grow stronger.

And as for Ning Fengzhi's promise—it was no joke. He truly intended to help Ma Hongjun evolve his martial soul. After all, who would complain about having too many god-level martial souls?
