Eight Treasures Match God-Slaying Spear!

"In some duchies of the Heaven Dou Empire, Soul Masters who reach Level Thirty can apply for a baronial title."

"With your talent, gaining a title in the future would be as easy as turning over your hand."

At this point, Chen Xin threw out the olive branch he had prepared long ago:

"Of course, if you are unwilling to waste time pursuing a title."

"As long as you are willing, I can write you a letter of recommendation."

"With my standing, the Education Committee Members would not dare refuse a recommendation for an Innate Full Soul Power genius to enter Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"Even without a noble title, no one would dare stop you."

Upon hearing this, the dean beside them lit up.

He hurriedly gave Lin Yuan a series of frantic hints in a low voice:

"Lin Yuan! Hurry and agree!"

"Don't be stubborn again this time!"

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy! That is a top-tier academy with a Mimetic Cultivation Environment!"

"It has the best resources in the entire empire!"

Seeing that the timing was right, Lin Yuan stopped putting on airs.

He gave Chen Xin a slight bow, a trace of gratitude appearing on his face.

"Then I must thank Sword Douluo for your support."

"Once my Soul Power reaches Level Twenty and I graduate from here, I will definitely go to Heaven Dou City."

With the matter settled, Ning Rongrong secretly cheered in her heart.

As long as Lin Yuan went to Heaven Dou City, would they not have much more time together?

Just then, Dugu Yan, who had been standing beside Dugu Bo all this time, finally could not hold herself back any longer.

"Lin Yuan."

Dugu Yan stepped forward, competitive flames burning in her emerald green eyes.

She was tall and well-developed. With her Fighting Spirit soaring, she looked even more valiant and dashing.

"My name is Dugu Yan. How about we have a match?"

"Since Sword Douluo has praised you to the skies."

"Saying you are a once-in-a-century genius who has even cultivated Spear Intent."

"Then I am quite curious."

"Just how gifted are you? How strong are you?"

"Perfect. Let me see whether this so-called Spear Intent is really that impressive!"

Dugu Yan's purpose in issuing the challenge was clear.

First, she truly was competitive and wanted to see Lin Yuan's strength.

Second, and Most Important of all.

She had to create some "interaction" with Lin Yuan. Only by fighting him and leaving a deep impression on him

might he mention her in his diary and, in passing, reveal the specific method for detoxification. Then her and Grandfather's lives could be saved!

Lin Yuan looked at Dugu Yan, whose Fighting Spirit was brimming, and the corner of his mouth lifted slightly.

Of course, he knew what this woman was thinking.

"A match?"

"Perfect."

As Dugu Yan's battle-filled challenge fell, the surrounding air seemed to grow several degrees hotter.

The God-Slaying Spear in Lin Yuan's hand trembled slightly, letting out a clear Dragon's Roar. Its spear tip pointed directly at Dugu Yan, and the sharp edge unique to a young man made the two Titled Douluo present nod inwardly.

"Since Poison Douluo's Granddaughter is in such high spirits."

"Then I shall respectfully comply."

Lin Yuan wore a faint smile, standing as straight as a pine.

He also wanted to see just how domineering the Dugu Family's Jade Phosphor Snake Poison was in the Early Stage.

However, just as Dugu Yan activated Martial Soul Possession and prepared to make her move,

Dugu Bo beside them frowned, stepped forward, and stood between the two.

"Ridiculous!"

Dugu Bo's face darkened as he looked at his somewhat overheated Granddaughter, his tone carrying a measure of reproach.

"Yanyan, how old are you? Don't you know your own limits?"

"You are already a Level 27 Soul Grandmaster, while this kid Lin Yuan only awakened his Martial Soul a few months ago. At most, he is only Level eleven or twelve."

"And how overbearing is your Jade Phosphor Snake Poison? Injured upon contact, dead upon touch!"

"Is this a spar? You are trying to take this kid's life!"

"If word gets out that my Granddaughter, Dugu Bo's Granddaughter, bullied the weak with her strength, would I have any face left?"

After being scolded by Grandfather like that, the emerald green Soul Power rising from Dugu Yan's body abruptly stalled.

She froze for a moment and looked at the six- or seven-year-old young man before her, only then realizing it.

"Ah... right."

Dugu Yan scratched her head awkwardly, a bashful blush appearing on her face.

Just now, she had been entirely focused on figuring out how to establish a "bond" with Lin Yuan and leave a deep impression on him.

She had completely forgotten about the enormous gap in their levels.

"Then... what should we do?"

Dugu Yan muttered dejectedly:

"I cannot exactly suppress my Soul Power and fight, can I? I would not be able to control the poison properly that way."

Watching this scene, Lin Yuan laughed inwardly.

Although Dugu Yan had a fiery personality, she was genuinely a little adorably clueless in certain respects.

Still, he had made up his mind to have this fight today.

Just as the situation fell into a deadlock,

a crisp, pleasant voice, like an oriole emerging from the valley, suddenly cut in.

"Hehe, Sister Yanyan, isn't that easy to solve?"

Ning Rongrong clasped her hands behind her back and walked lightly to Lin Yuan's side, cunning light gleaming in her lively large eyes.

"Since your level is higher, I can support Lin Yuan and even out the difference, right?"

Before her words had even faded,

Ning Rongrong spread open her white jade-like palm as Soul Power surged within her.

"Eight Treasures Emerge with Glaze!"

As the familiar incantation rang out, a Crystal Clear pagoda radiating gorgeous Colored Light slowly emerged from her palm.

"Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda?!"

Lin Yuan cried out in surprise on instinct, the perfect amount of shock and disbelief appearing on his face.

This acting was enough to win him an Oscar Little Golden Man.

After all, according to the Original Work's setting, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda only had seven levels. That was an Iron Law.

If he did not act a little surprised, it would seem abnormal instead.

Seeing Lin Yuan's shocked expression, Ning Rongrong secretly let out a breath of relief, then a smug smile curved across her lips.

Her eyes darted around as the explanation she had prepared long ago came pouring out.

"That's right!"

"Lin Yuan, you did not see wrong."

"I am the first Innate Full Soul Power possessor in the history of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"

"Perhaps my talent was simply too good, so a beneficial mutation occurred."

At this point, Ning Rongrong sighed, wearing a regretful expression.

"Sadly, my Martial Soul only evolved into the Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda rather than the legendary Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda."

At this moment, Ning Rongrong was actually feeling nervous inside.

My acting should be convincing enough, right? I did not reveal any flaws, did I? Lin Yuan should not suspect anything, right?

Seeing this, Chen Xin stroked his beard and smiled, his face full of pride.

"Indeed."

"Rongrong's talent truly is the greatest in the sect's ten-thousand-year history."

"She has broken the Shackles that kept the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda from surpassing Level 80."

"Perhaps as her level rises in the future, or if she encounters some opportunity, her Martial Soul may have a chance to evolve once more into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda."

Chen Xin looked at Lin Yuan, a trace of anticipation in his eyes.

"It is good to let Rongrong join as well."

"Kid Lin Yuan, the number one support Martial Soul in the world paired with your top-tier Assault Type Martial Soul."

"I too am curious what kind of combat power you can unleash."

"Could you show me?"
