Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 97: An Extermination Shot

Seeing that Liuxing used his third soul skill of ten thousand years but still couldn't gain the upper hand, Nana showed a trace of worry.

"Meteor, you're not going to lose, are you?"

Xu Tianzhen couldn't sit still anymore. Although losing to Ji Juechen was not shameful, after all, Ji Juechen was the chief of the Soul Guidance Department of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy and the undisputed number one fighter in the Soul Guidance Department.

Moreover, Ji Juechen's soul power is as high as level 59, and he is about to break through to become a Soul Emperor, while Liu Xing is only level 39. Being able to fight with Ji Juechen like this is already an astonishing record.

"No, he will win."

Liuying said firmly, with a confident look on her face. Only she knew how strong Liuxing was. The third soul ring of ten thousand years was nothing. Liuxing just didn't want to reveal his trump card.

She knew how strong she was. Although Ji Juechen had a high level of cultivation, she was confident of winning. And although Liu Xing was not as good as her for the time being, he would not lose easily.

"Even Ji Juechen can't suppress him?"

In the stands, Jing Hongchen looked thoughtful.

Others only saw Ji Juechen's breakthrough in the battle and his sword intent reached a higher level. Only he saw the excitement and confidence on Liuxing's face.

You should know that Ji Juechen is the chief of the Soul Guidance Department of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy.

Ji Juechen's martial soul is a sword, a very ordinary weapon martial soul. His innate soul power is even only level three, but Ji Juechen is a natural swordsman.

After he awakened his martial soul at the age of six, he became obsessed with the sword. After breaking through level ten at the age of eight, he walked into the soul beast forest alone with a sword. When he came out covered in blood, he was already a soul master with the first soul ring of a hundred years.

That’s right, Ji Juechen, who was only eight years old and had a tenth-level soul power cultivation, hunted a hundred-year-old soul beast alone and obtained a soul ring.

The average soul power of the students at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy is even higher than that of Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the continent. However, they all took drugs to speed up their cultivation and improve their soul power level. Among them, at least 95% of them have broken through to the seventh ring or above in their lifetime because of taking elixirs. However, for soul engineers, levels five and six are already quite powerful.

However, Ji Juechen has never taken any medicine. His strength comes from repeatedly challenging strong men and experiencing life and death.

Just like in a battle with a meteor, he evolved and his sword intent broke through.

He has always been like this. In this Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, he is an outlier.

Although he is the chief who actually controls the soul guide department, he only has a meteorite iron sword in his hand that he tempered with his own soul power. Apart from being sharp and hard, it has no other effects.

The meteorite sword from outer space was originally just a piece of iron bar. It was only after Ji Juechen used his soul power to temper it year after year and day after day that it gradually took the shape of a sword.

Therefore, Ji Juechen had long since become one with the meteorite sword in his hand. With his innate third-level soul power, his cultivation speed was no slower than some soul masters with innate seventh- or eighth-level soul power, as if his poor innate soul power aptitude could not stop him from becoming stronger.

Even Ji Juechen was able to suppress the monster Meteor only after he had a breakthrough in battle and his sword intent evolved. You know, Ji Juechen's cultivation was a full twenty levels higher than Meteor's!
Under the suppression of the powerful sword intent, Liuxing's blood boiled. He finally, finally felt the pressure, and there was a strong excitement in his eyes.

Isn't the challenge to Ji Juechen just for this moment? Although Liuying is strong, she will subconsciously hold back on him for fear of hurting him. Others like Gu Yuena and Xue Nu are strong, but they can't force him to use his full strength. Moreover, these two people are also the sixth brother. Do they really think that he, Liuxing, doesn't know that the two of them are usually hiding their strength?
It's like no one has any cards.

As for Ye Guyi and Xu Tianzhen, forget it, they are still far behind.

In front of Ji Juechen's highly concentrated sword intent, the meteor's momentum was too dispersed. Although it looked majestic, it was easily broken by the sword intent.

Under pressure, Meteor's mind was highly concentrated, and in the spiritual sea within the spiritual space, the shadow of a long spear gradually appeared.

During this process, Liuxing felt that his soul power and mental power were suppressing Ji Juechen's sword intent, and there was a tendency for them to merge.

Following this feeling, Meteor grabbed the Flame Gun, and an aura of destruction emerged with his mental will.

"This is?"

In the stands, Gu Yuena, Xue Nu, and Jing Hongchen's expressions changed. Ji Juechen, who was facing the meteor, was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "I see. I used you as a whetstone, but I didn't expect that I would become the whetstone myself."

A slightly strange smile, which seemed due to his rare smile, blossomed on Ji Juechen's face. Not only was he not shaken by becoming the whetstone of Meteor, but the sword intent in his body expanded again. The next moment, all the aura in Ji Juechen's body was withdrawn into his body, and the sword energy and sword intent instantly subsided.

Only the long sword in his hand was trembling slightly.

Ji Juechen held the sword in his right hand, and put two fingers of his left hand together, gently brushing the sword body of the iron sword in his hand. Then, the meteorite iron sword in his hand seemed to be swung out slowly.

But as he moved, a gully several meters deep appeared on the solid ground of the fighting arena under his feet, and it continued to extend deeper and deeper as Ji Juechen's body slid!

The moment Ji Juechen flashed out, the meteor moved as if pulled by the energy.

A spear intent with a destructive aura condensed on the tip of the flaming spear in Meteor's hand. He suddenly took a step forward with his left foot, but did not rush out like Ji Juechen. The moment his left foot landed on the ground, the entire fighting arena trembled for a moment.

Jing Ziyan's pupils contracted. What a powerful force! Then she looked at Ji Juechen with a worried look, "Old Ji, don't lose!"

"Burn to ashes, annihilate, with one shot."

"Sword—Silence!"

One is a gun with the intent to destroy the world, mixed with the flames of destruction that will burn everything to ashes.

One is a silent and hushed sword intent that annihilates all things.

The crimson spear light and the gray sword light suddenly collided with each other under the gaze of everyone.

The students who were closer staggered back a few steps, with horror in their eyes. At the moment when the spear and sword collided, they felt that the air within a radius of dozens of meters with the collision point as the center collapsed, and everything seemed to become unreal.

Although it only lasted for a moment, they firmly believed that their eyes were not blurry.

On the stands, Jing Hongchen suddenly stood up. He was surprised to find that even he could not understand the spear and sword of the two men. That was a field that had nothing to do with soul masters, and it was also the reason why soul masters could not reach the level of real soul masters in terms of combat power.

The collision between the gun and the sword was not particularly spectacular. Neither of them even used any soul skills. It was simply a fusion of soul power and mental strength.

He couldn't see through it, and he didn't understand it, but that didn't stop him from knowing that the two people on the field were monsters. Shrek Academy has always said that they are an academy that cultivates monsters, but facing these two monsters, can their students still be considered monsters?
The gun and the sword collided and stalemated for a second before a violent roar suddenly erupted. "Boom!"

With the place where the two collided as the center, large cracks and collapses appeared on the ground, instantly extending to the outside, extending to a diameter of 30 meters before gradually converging.

Meteoric staggered back a few steps, while Ji Juechen flew backwards. He held the hilt of the Meteorite Sword tightly with both hands, and blood was oozing from his knuckles.

Meteor steadied his body, his right hand holding the Flame Gun trembling slightly.

The sword maniac lost?

This thought came to the minds of everyone outside the field, because the situation in the field was already very clear. Meteor was still possessed by the martial spirit, and there were several eye-catching cracks on the silver-white mecha in his right hand. But Ji Juechen was even worse. He was kneeling on one knee on the ground, holding the iron sword in his right hand, and blood spurted out of his mouth.

There was a hint of trance in Ji Juechen's eyes, and the gray sword intent had dissipated. When he faced Meteor's annihilating shot just now, he seemed to see the scene of the world shattered and the gods falling.

At that moment, his sword intent was broken. The reason why he was able to leave a scar on Liuxing's hand was because of his soul power cultivation which was far superior to Liuxing's.

"Old Ji, are you okay?!"

Jing Ziyan rushed onto the stage in a panic, supported Ji Juechen, took out the healing pill with trembling hands, and hurriedly fed it to Ji Juechen.

Ji Juechen didn't notice Jing Ziyan's unusual behavior. He just looked in the direction of the meteor with unprecedented excitement in his eyes.

"I lost, Liuxing, you won. Thank you for helping me comprehend a new sword intent."

Liu Xing looked at the broken tip of the Flame Spear in his hand, which had lost its luster, and said with a wry smile, "I should be the one to thank Senior Ji. Without you, I wouldn't be able to comprehend this spear."

Ji Juechen lost? Was it really Ji Juechen who lost?

In the stands, the students immediately began to whisper to each other, looking at Liu Xing with admiration and amazement. Even many female students had red faces and looked at Liu Xing with fiery eyes.

Ji Juechen is very famous in the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, not only because he is an outlier, but also because of his powerful strength. You know, even some sixth-level soul instructors in Mingde Hall have been defeated by Ji Juechen!

And now, Liu Xing, who has just been enrolled for less than a year and is not even a Soul Sect master, was able to defeat Ji Juechen head-on. This is a genuine record.

In the corner of the stands, listening to the whispers of the students around him, Xiao Hongchen looked at Liuxing, who had freed himself from the possession of his martial spirit, holding a broken gun and looking helpless, with a complicated expression. He clenched his fists and then turned and left.

Meng Hongchen looked at Xiao Hongchen's departing back with a hint of worry. He looked back at Liuxing, gritted his teeth, and turned around to chase Xiao Hongchen.

Compared to Liuxing, the one who needs her more now is Xiao Hongchen, her worrying brother.

"Are you okay? Is your hand okay?"

Liuying took Liuxing's right hand and looked him up and down, a look of concern on her face.

Liu Xing shook his head and said, "I'm fine, my hand is just numb. Senior Ji is indeed the chief of the Control Soul Guidance Department. He is very strong."

"How's it going? It feels good to have comprehended the meaning of the spear, doesn't it? It feels like the sky is high and the sea is vast, letting birds fly freely."

After discovering that Liuxing was indeed not seriously injured and only had superficial wounds, Liuying tilted her head and looked at him with a smile.

Meteor laughed and said, "It's not bad. I do feel a sense of relief, as if I've broken free from all restraints. However, I'm still not as good as you."

Compared to him who still needed to rely on Ji Juechen's pressure to comprehend his own spear intent, Liuying had already comprehended her own sword intent, and was even stronger than Ji Juechen.

"Hehe, come on, if you can beat me one day, I'll reward you with a wish."

Liuying put her hands behind her back and smiled coquettishly.

Hearing this, Liuxing's eyes lit up and he looked at Liuying with fiery eyes.

Liuying's pretty face flushed, she put her hands on her chest and made an X, pouting and saying, "H is prohibited!"

Liuxing's mouth twitched, and he swore that he had never thought of that kind of thing just now.

"That shot wasn't bad!"

At this time, the Snow Girl also came over and looked at the meteor with amazement.

The Snow Girl had to admit that although Meteor had just comprehended the meaning of the spear, his annihilation spear, in terms of intention and potential, was even better than one of her three unique skills of the Snow Emperor, the Emperor Sword and the Ice Extreme.

"That's good, but he can't even hold his own gun. He needs more practice."

Gu Yuena also walked forward, snatched the Flame Gun from Liuxing's hand, looked at it, and said lightly.

Hearing this, Liu Xing's body stiffened. This Flame Light Gun was a birthday gift from Luan Yu to him. It was a level five soul guide device tailor-made for him. Even though he was only at the third ring level now, he could use it beyond his level. It was conceivable how much effort Luan Yu had put into creating such a gun.

Being able to defeat Ji Juechen by surpassing the twenty-level soul power cultivation level, this fifth-level fire-attribute soul guide, the Flame Light Gun, also played an important role.

The Flame Spear was made by Luan Yu using ten thousand year old red gold and flame essence. It can amplify Meteor's flame power. It also has its own soul skill Burning Sky, which was also the spear that Meteor first used to deal with Ji Juechen.

The power of Fentian is comparable to the Soul King's ten thousand year soul skill, otherwise it would not be able to force out Ji Juechen's sword intent.

This is a top-grade melee soul guide, although it is only a level five soul guide, but it is for the convenience of Meteor's use. Once Meteor's cultivation level is improved, Luanyu can also upgrade the Flame Light Gun, because the material used in the forging of the Flame Light Gun, ten thousand year red gold, is originally a top-grade metal that is only used to create level eight soul guides.

Not to mention that it also contains the flame essence that is used to create ninth-level soul guides. This was provided by Luanfeng. Her ace ninth-level soul guide, Fengyi Tianxiang, was created with flame essence.

You should know that Fengyi Tianxiang is a ninth-level soul guide weapon ranked among the top ten in the Sun-Moon Empire. It has destructive power that rivals ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shells. The only difference between it and ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shells is its ultra-long-range attack distance.

The soul guide device made of such precious materials was broken by Liu Xing. He would most likely be scolded by Luan Yu when he returned. He might even be asked by Luan Yu to do something that Liu Xing would be very resistant to.
