The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Little Devil Girl

Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Main Hall, silence fell for a time. The two Titled Douluo admired Ning Fengzhi's wisdom while also being astonished by the information about Tang San.

In the end, Gu Rong was the one to break the silence. "Fengzhi, then why do you say Tang San is Tang Hao's son? Just because his surname is Tang?"

"Of course it isn't that simple." Ning Fengzhi shook his head, sinking into his memories. "This involves a very famous incident in the Soul Master world."

"Six years ago, news spread almost everywhere that the former Pope of Spirit Hall had led two Titled Douluo to hunt a Soul Beast, failed, and was beaten so badly by the Clear Sky Douluo that his injuries proved fatal."

"At the time, I wondered what kind of Soul Beast would require such a huge force to be mobilized. More importantly, they had failed. Everyone said that after Tang Hao defeated them, he seized that Soul Beast and became a Titled Douluo."

"But I believe they got the order wrong. Tang Hao only had eight Soul Rings at the time. No matter how powerful a Soul Douluo was, he could not possibly defeat three Titled Douluo. Therefore, he must have become a Titled Douluo first before defeating them."

"However, how could a Soul Douluo possibly snatch victory from three Titled Douluo? There is only one possibility!" Ning Fengzhi deduced.

"Sacrifice!" Chen Xin and Gu Rong blurted out.

"That's right. Only a Soul Beast voluntarily offering a sacrifice can explain all this. I once investigated Tang Hao and discovered that he had married a woman whose Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass. This was also during the critical period before he became a Titled Douluo. Back then, in my youthful ignorance, I even mocked him for being bewitched by beauty. But now that I think about it, that woman was likely not a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master at all. She was a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Beast that had taken human form!"

"Tang San. His surname is Tang, he is exactly six years old, his Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass, and he possesses Innate Full Soul Power. When so many coincidences come together, they are no longer coincidences!" Ning Fengzhi declared with certainty.

At this point, Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo no longer had any doubts. Bone Douluo even said directly, "If that's the case, should we nip that child in the bud? Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power—if he grows up, I'm afraid even Old Sword Man and I may not be his match in the future!"

"There is no need. Though the Upper Three Sects occasionally clash, we are generally connected by a common cause. The Clear Sky Douluo is immensely powerful, and we have no reason to make an enemy of him." Ning Fengzhi stopped him. "Besides, Uncle Bone, have you forgotten? Tang Hao has Tang San, but we have Xiao Tian."

Hearing this, Gu Rong finally calmed down. "True. With Xiao Tian's two terrifying Martial Souls, not to mention that pearl, even that sword alone is no weaker than the Clear Sky Hammer."

"It is even stronger!" Though Chen Xin was sparing with words, every word brimmed with confidence in Tianlin.

At that moment, the child trusted by the three great figures was hiding in his room, diligently cultivating a new meditation method.

After his soul power completed one Grand Circulation through his body, Tianlin opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"What an incredible Nüwa Emperor Meditation Method. Not only has my soul power cultivation speed nearly doubled, it also has a purification effect. This will save me a great deal of time spent sorting through all that mixed soul power." Tianlin opened his eyes, thrilled beyond measure.

With the combined cultivation boost of the Nüwa Emperor Meditation Method and the Holy Spirit Pearl, his current cultivation speed meant that fourteen years of training would be equivalent to more than twenty-seven years for an ordinary Soul Master with Innate Full Soul Power.

This immediately filled him with confidence. After all, what he lacked most right now was time.

"I'm hungry. It should be about time for dinner!" Tianlin pushed open his door, only to discover that it was already dark. Without realizing it, he had meditated for the entire afternoon.

Dinner time had already passed, and the dining hall was probably closed. Left with no choice, Tianlin went to the orchard to pick some fruit.

Just as he left his room, several small figures secretly followed after him.

Tianlin arrived at the orchard, picked a ripe fruit, and prepared to wash it down to stave off his hunger for the night. At that moment, something long shot toward him. Sensing danger, Tianlin twisted aside and dodged.

However, the fruit in his hand fell. Then another unknown object flew over, striking the fruit precisely and pinning it to a treetop.

Only then did Tianlin see clearly that it was actually a bone.

"Who's sneak-attacking me? Come out!"

As soon as Tianlin's words fell, several figures emerged from the woods. At their head was Ning Rongrong. "Hmph, so what if I come out? Do you think this young lady is afraid of you?"

"Little Devil Girl, what are you trying to do? Bullying a fellow sect member for no reason?" Tianlin teased.

"You dare call me Little Devil Girl? Despicable! I'm definitely going to teach you a proper lesson today." Ning Rongrong signaled to the people behind her, and they stepped forward together to surround Tianlin.

"Are you planning to gang up on me?"

"Hmph, scared now, aren't you? I've been waiting for this chance for ages. Because of you, Sword Grandpa scolded me harshly for the first time. I'll give you one more chance now. As long as you agree to be my little follower and listen to me from now on, I'll let you off today!" Ning Rongrong said smugly. This little brat really held a grudge—she had remembered that tiny incident all the way until now.

Tianlin shook his head. "Sorry, but as I said before, I don't have the habit of being someone else's follower. So I still refuse."

"Despicable! You guys, teach him a lesson!" This was the second time in her life that someone had rejected her, and it was the same person both times. She could not endure it any longer.

"Kid, don't blame us. Who told you to provoke Miss Rongrong?" said the leading boy. He looked around eleven or twelve years old, and his soul power was also the highest among them.

Tianlin looked at the speaker and asked, "Were you the one who shot that bone over just now?"

"That's right. My name is Gu Ran. My Martial Soul is the Skeleton Warhorse, and I am a level twenty-two Power Attack System Battle Soul Master!" Gu Ran introduced himself as two yellow Soul Rings flashed around him.

"Gu Ran, I remember Bone Douluo has no children, right?" Tianlin wondered whether this person was related to Bone Douluo by blood. If so, he might need to go a little easier on him later.

"I have no family relation to His Excellency. I am merely an orphan adopted by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Because I awakened a skeletal-type Martial Soul, Bone Douluo accepted me as a nominal disciple and had me join the Defense Hall." Gu Ran explained, "Kid, you're still too young. You can't possibly be my opponent. I don't want to fight you. As long as you agree to the young lady's condition, everyone can go their separate ways in peace."

Gu Ran was still trying to persuade him kindly, but Ning Rongrong had already lost patience. "Gu Ran, why are you wasting so many words on that guy? Hurry up and beat him up for me."

"You mean well, but unfortunately, my Martial Soul is a sword. My sword heart will not allow me to bow my head, so I can only disappoint your good intentions." As he spoke, Tianlin's Soul Ring lit up, and the Demon Suppressing Sword appeared in his hand.

"Tianlin, Martial Soul: Demon Suppressing Sword. Level fifteen Power Attack System Battle Soul Master. Please advise!"
