Douluo's Spiritual Pearl and Divine Sword

With the demon Sword in his hand Jun Tianlin's momentum surge that nearly reaching the level of Gu Ran himself and Gu Ran stared in surprise.

"You,what level have you reached again"Gu ran asked blankly.

"Level 15 first-level battle spirit master!" Jun Tianlin stretched out a finger said once more.

Now, he wasn't the only one in awe everyone was stunned and they all knew Jun Tianlin had only just hunted his first soul ring recently and in just half a month he had already reached level 15 Absorbing soul rings does boost soul power, but it generally only raises it to around level eleven,Gu ran's first soul ring came from a 350-year-old soul beast and instantly pushing his level to twelve and a half even the bone doulou Gu Rong had already called him a genius, but now compared to the monster in front of him even his achievement seemed lacking.

"What a monster However soul power alone is not enough so Let me teach you how to fight" Gu Ran assumed that while Jun Tianlin possessed high soul power he had next to no combat experience so he didn't take him too seriously.

"Beast possession and first soul skill: bone arrows!" Gu Ran activated his first soul skill releasing countless sharp bone arrows from his skeletal war horse martial spirit The range was impressive and as a first soul skill it was quite outstanding.

"The third form of Shushan Sword Technique:Water Veil Shield" Jun Tianlin smiled and waved his sword This was a defensive move in Shushan's basic swordsmanship and As he moved it was as if a curtain of water seemed to form in front of him and blocking all the bone arrows with his sword.

"Shushan sword technique:sixth form Lunar Flow Strike "

[TL:what do you guys think of the names of the forms? Honestly i don't know what is the names of those forms and its on chinese so i just made a new name (chat gpt names btw) ]

Then Jun Tianlin thrust his sword forward and his movement was like a beam of moonlight glistening on a lake and The scene was stunningly beautiful.

"What a beautiful swordsmanship" Ning Rongrong murmured momentarily entranced and Being a young girl and she naturally liked such beautiful things but she quickly shook her head"Idiot what am I thinking? He's a big bad guy! Just because his swordsmanship is pretty doesn't mean I should be fooled."

"Damn it second soul skill: bone enhancement!" Seeing his first skill fail Gu Ran finally decided to become serious this soul skill strengthened his skeletal war horse and especially its legs boosting his leg strength by 30% and the rest of his body by 20%.

The sword and Gu Ran's leg collided in mid-air and Jun Tianlin was knocked back seven steps while Gu Ran only took three and although Tianlin's swordsmanship was exquisite his power was still only at the spirit master and there was naturally a gap between him and Gu Ran who had reached the second level.

However Gu Ran was more shocked than anyone His most powerful attack had failed to injure Jun Tianlin and it had only pushed him back a few steps Could this spirit master really be that strong?

"Hey what are you all waiting for? Attack together!" Ning Rongrong seeing Gu Ran struggling to take down Jun Tianlin alone called out to the others for help.

The three others exchanged glance their eyes showing a bit of reluctance, Truthfully they didn't want to gang up on someone weaker But with the little princess's order they had no choice but to Reluctantly battle him so they stepped forward one by one and introduced themselves.

"Xu Ting Martial spirit flying swallow, level 18 agility attack type battle spirit master."

"Jiang Hao Martial Spirit broad Sword, level 18 assault type battle spirit master."

"Chen Tao Martial Spirit Chain, level 19 control type battle spirit master."

The remaining three two boys and one girl were all around ten or eleven years old yet all had soul power nearing level 20 Shrek Academy's admission standards and required candidates to reach level 21 before the age of twelve and these three were well on their way,Although they weren't as astounding as the original Shrek Seven Monsters where each of them surpassed level 25 but if they could still reach levels 22 or 23 then In most places they'd be considered incredible geniuses worthy of the seven treasure glazed tile clan's elite training.

"All of you, come on then. First soul skill:frostbite edge!" Jun Tianlin's fingers glided along his demon sword and in an instant a biting cold spread from the blade dropping the surrounding temperature by several degrees.

"Flying Flowers and Dancing Butterflies!" Flying Flowers and Dancing Butterflies was an entry-level form from Shushan It combined footwork and swordplay with both his stance and sword forms that are constantly shifting allowing him to move fluidly through multiple attackers.

"The first soul skill: heavy strike!" Jiang Hao rushed forward swinging his broadsword down at Jun Tianlin. But against Jun Tianlin's erratic movements his attacks repeatedly missed.

From above Xu Ting noticed the oddity in Jun Tianlin's movement"Chen Tao use your chains to tie him down or we won't be able to catch him!"

Chen Tao nodded"Alright first soul skill: Body Binding Lock!" He launched his chains at Jun Tianlin, but Jun Tianlin countered with water veil shield,Using his defensive move once more Jun Tianlin blocked all angles of the chain's assault and Furthermore with frosbite edge's chilling effect the end of Chen Tao's chain was entirely frozen.

"Damn he's too strong Let's go together!" Realizing their only option the four launched a combined attack.

Facing their coordinated strike Jun Tianlin called out "good move then Frostbite edge, freeze!"

Frostbite edge's second ability surged forth that unleashed a powerful cold wave that instantly froze all four of them in place.

"How is this possible? Four against one and each of them had higher soul power than him" Ning Rongrong muttered and dumbfounded.

Then she saw Jun Tianlin approaching her with a mischievous glint and she suddenly panicked. "What… what do you want to do? I'm warning you, if you dare to hurt me you'll be in big trouble If you release them now I'll let this whole thing slide for today."

Her tone was firm, but her voice trembled slightly, making her sound far less intimidating.

"Don't worry they'll be fine beside I didn't use my full strength and the ice will melt when the sun comes up tomorrow so they'll just have to endure the cold for one night as a minor punishment and as a true spirit master they shouldn't be frightened by a bit of cold." Jun Tianlin smiled then looked directly at Ning Rongrong"As for you you need a different kind of punishment."

"Hmph! You smiling devil I'm not playing with you anymore" Sensing the danger Ning Rongrong tried to run.

But Jun Tianlin quickly caught up trapping her under his arm before she could react.

"You're far too naughty so I'll have to teach you a lesson!" With that, Jun Tianlin raised his hand.

Ning Rongrong became frantic. "Hey hey hey! What are you going to do? Don't tell me you're planning to spank me? We're a man and a woman you know! This is indecent!"

Hearing this Jun Tianlin lowered his hand chuckling "So proper for a young lady! But you're right so I wouldn't dare to act inappropriately."

Ning Rongrong finally relaxed just about to ask him to let her go when she saw a flash of blue light as Jun Tianlin summoned the demon sword once more "Hey, what are you going to use that sword for? Stop please! Someone could get hurt!"

"Relax I'll only use the back of the blade" Jun Tianlin replied still smiling.

"That's… alright, then wait what?" Before she could process it the sword's flat side landed on her backside.

"The first strike is for your naughtiness."

"The second is for your stubbornness."

"The third is for destroying my fruit."

"The fourth… well because I'm enjoying this!"

As Jun Tianlin continued his strikes became firm but playful and taking advantage of the rare opportunity to teach the little princess a lesson.

"Ah! Stop it that hurts! I'm sorry alright? Just use your hand if you must! I'm still a kid and the whole man-and-woman thing doesn't apply yet That sword really stings!"

But Jun Tianlin paid no mind to her pleas.

And so deep in the forest that night the six-year-old Ning Rongrong experienced the first humiliation of her life.
