Douluo: The Peerless King Dong'er's Restarted Life

Chapter 253 Ghost Nana, Ji Juechen's Challenge (3 words)

Upon entering the laboratory, I found that Orange was already waiting there.

Xuan Ziwen is now a member of the Hall of Light, and knowing that Ju Zi is here, he probably has something to report to Wang Dong'er, so he turned and left the laboratory.

"Miss," Orange called out respectfully.

Wang Dong'er waved her hand: "Alright, stop calling me 'Miss'. From now on, you're a member of the Hall of Light. Just call me Hall Master."

"The Temple of Light?" Upon hearing this name, Orange subconsciously raised her head and then said, "Yes, Temple Master."

"Alright, what's the matter?"

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince... Xu Tianran wants me to join the army and take command of the legion for him. Also, he wants to win over the Master of Mingde Hall. If he succeeds, the Crown Prince will have a complete advantage, causing the other two princes to lose their chance to compete."

"What do you want to do?" Wang Dong'er asked.

Ju Zi took a deep breath and said, "Palace Master, if you want to target Xu Tianran, you can't avoid his bodyguard, Shadow Douluo Xue Chen. Moreover, as the Crown Prince, he is also the most likely prince to inherit the throne. If you try to kill him by force, you will inevitably cause trouble. Even if you try to assassinate him, it is very likely that you will not succeed. Ever since the assassination attempt happened, Xu Tianran has been very concerned about his own safety."

"Perhaps you don't know, but Xu Tianran's father, the current emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, also rose to power through rebellion. So I think we should first weaken the royal family's influence in the military, just like... Duke Dai Hao, the White Tiger Duke of the Star Luo Empire."

"Have you thought it through?" Wang Dong'er sensed the seriousness in Ju Zi's tone; it seemed that she truly did think so.

"Yes." Orange nodded. "I will use my own abilities to corner Dai Hao on the battlefield!"

Even a pig could drive Dai Hao to the brink of despair with the well-equipped Soul Master Corps that the Sun Moon Empire had assembled...

However, according to the original story, Ju Zi did have some abilities, which united the Soul Masters who were not very convinced of her.

Although Wang Dong'er was targeting Xu Tianran, she didn't intend to make him an enemy of the whole world.

Xu Tianran's true backer was neither the throne and the army of the Sun Moon Empire, nor the Holy Spirit Cult, but Kong Deming.

However, Kong Deming is elusive and difficult to find. Even Jing Hongchen couldn't contact him, and the royal family can't just see him whenever they want. Finding him would be quite troublesome.

Wang Dong'er did not refuse Ju Zi's request.

However, thinking of the Holy Spirit Cult, Wang Dong'er suddenly remembered that there was a student in this academy who had been forced to join the Holy Spirit Cult.

"Orange, do you know Ghost Nana?"

“Ghost Nana? I remember… she seems to be a student in the Real Control Soul Guidance Department, and she’s quite famous,” Orange said, recalling.

"Okay, take me to her."

"Looking for her?" Orange was taken aback. "What happened to her?"

"She was someone who was coerced into joining the Holy Spirit Cult, and through her, one could obtain more information about the Holy Spirit Cult."

"What?!" Orange was clearly surprised, obviously not expecting that there would be students in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy who had been coerced into joining by the Holy Spirit Cult.

"See? You know Xu Tianran is cooperating with the Holy Spirit Cult, but you don't know the extent to which the Holy Spirit Cult has actually gone." Wang Dong'er's tone was calm, but it made Ju Zi fall into deep thought.

"I understand." Orange didn't delve too deeply into the issue; it was beyond her control, and she couldn't change Xu Tianran's will.

Next, Ju Zi led Wang Dong'er to find Nana, who was in charge of the Soul Guidance System.

When the two found Nana, she was conducting a practical exercise in controlling the Soul Guidance System with others.

Students in the actual control of the soul guidance system do not create soul guidance devices, but they are able to skillfully use soul guidance devices to enhance their combat power and survivability. Generally speaking, the soul guidance devices they use are also compatible with the characteristics of their martial soul.

Nana was unaware of Wang Dong'er's existence, or rather, most people at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy were unaware of it.

Upon seeing Nana, Electrolux transmitted his voice to Wang Dong'er, saying, "That girl's soul has been tainted by something unclean. This so-called Holy Spirit Cult needs to rely on such methods to control people; it's utterly absurd."

Wang Dong'er's arrival also attracted the attention of these students in the Soul Guidance Department.

If such a beautiful woman with long, light blue hair had ever appeared at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, it would have caused a sensation. However, this was the first time they had seen her, so they couldn't help but be curious.

However, some of them recognized the orange next to Wang Dong'er. One of them quickly stepped forward and asked, "Orange, who is this?"

"She's kind of my senior, I guess. She's been studying soul tools under Teacher Xuan Ziwen," Orange said.

"Studying under Teacher Xuan Ziwen? Or is she your senior?" The man's eyes gleamed with surprise. "But doesn't she need to eat? Why have we never seen her at the academy?"

A few days after arriving at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Wang Dong'er and her group moved to an independent apartment, where their daily meals were prepared by the dedicated canteen.

Even the oranges were only allowed in by Wang Dong'er so that she and the others could see them; naturally, these people couldn't see her appear.

"Nana." Orange made up a few casual words and then called out Nana's name.

Nana also noticed Wang Dong'er. After hearing that Ju Zi had come to see her, she slowly walked up to the two of them, glanced at them briefly, and asked, "What do you want with me?"

The next moment, Nana's expression changed drastically. She kept looking around before finally fixing her gaze on Wang Dong'er.

"What are you going to do?" Nana asked, her voice trembling slightly. Just now, a voice had suddenly appeared in her mind, and that voice, with only three words, had struck at her deepest secret.

She didn't even dare to do anything.

"Come with me." There were people all around, so Wang Dong'er didn't say anything more.

"Wait." A voice suddenly rang out.

A young man who looked to be in his twenties suddenly spoke up.

“Fight me,” the young man said.

Wang Dong'er frowned. Fighting at the drop of a hat, could this be Ji Juechen?
Seemingly realizing the inappropriateness of his words and actions, the young man introduced himself: "My name is Ji Juechen, the chief of the Soul Guidance Department. I can sense the aura of a strong person from you."

It really was Ji Juechen. Wang Dong'er's brows relaxed.

Relatively speaking, Ji Juechen can be considered a representative of the underdog's rise to success.

The Martial Soul Sword has no special abilities or unique features, and its innate soul power is at level three.

With such an innate level of soul power, it would take a very long time and effort for someone else to become a soul master.

Huo Yuhao had innate level one soul power and it took him five years to cultivate to level ten, while Ji Juechen only took two years to go from level three to level ten.

Ji Juechen's first spirit ring was also obtained by personally hunting down spirit beasts in their habitat.

Judging from their early experiences alone, Ji Juechen's qualifications far surpass those of Tang San.

While Ji Juechen was cultivating his innate level 3 soul power to level 10, Tang San relied on cultivating the Xuan Tian Gong ahead of time to reach full innate soul power.

While Ji Juechen had nothing and was hunting soul beasts alone with only his sword, Tang San was using his already mature Tang Sect skills and hidden weapons to kill the Mandragora Serpent.

Ji Juechen and his only friend Jing Ziyan were also two people in the original novel who were tricked into joining the Tang Sect by Huo Yuhao.

Jing Ziyan is somewhat of an extra, but Ji Juechen's experience is worth considering.

Unlike Chen Zifeng, Chen Zifeng's soul skills are equivalent to enhancing the abilities of the martial soul itself. For example, his first soul skill makes the martial soul sharper.

Ji Juechen's soul skill is the same as that of a soul master, which amplifies soul power.

He himself infused his soul into the sword, spending ten years relentlessly refining a piece of extraterrestrial meteorite iron into a sword shape perfectly suited to him.

Ji Juechen's practice of honing his combat skills and sword intent all by himself is a model that others should take note of.

However, you'll never know the real situation unless you experience it for yourself.

Since Ji Juechen has offered himself up, Wang Dong'er has no reason not to accept.

"If you want me to take action, you have to give me something in return, right?" Wang Dong'er said, looking at Ji Juechen.

A woman suddenly appeared, looking at Wang Dong'er with a hint of wariness in her eyes.

"Why don't I test its quality first?" the woman said.

"No need, Ziyan." Ji Juechen politely declined Jing Ziyan's suggestion, his eyes burning with extreme fighting spirit.

"Her power is immense; you are no match for her, and even I may not be."

"What?!" Jing Ziyan was somewhat surprised.

Ji Juechen neither learns to make soul tools nor uses combat soul tools, yet he is still able to become the chief of the actual control soul tool department of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Academy, and even be specially approved to enter the Mingde Hall, because he has unparalleled strength in the entire actual control soul tool department.

Given Ji Juechen's strength, why would he say something so uncertain?
Judging from Wang Dong'er's age, she even seems younger than Ju Zi, yet she can surpass Ji Jue Chen in strength?
“If you defeat me, I will transfer all the resources in the Soul Guidance System under my actual control to you,” Ji Juechen said.

“I don’t need these,” Wang Dong’er shook her head. “If you want to fight me, then come at me.”

"Okay." Ji Juechen agreed immediately without any suspicion.

"What a sword fanatic!"

Seeing Ji Juechen already engrossed in the battle, Jing Ziyan gritted her teeth and followed.

As they arrived at the back of the private apartment specially approved by Jing Hongchen, Nana and Jing Ziyan curiously looked around, while Ji Juechen, still full of fighting spirit, had no time to pay attention to the others.

“No wonder I’ve never seen you before; so you live in this forbidden area,” Nana said.

This area, which is close to the Mingde Hall area, was designated as a forbidden zone by Jing Hongchen, and no one is allowed to approach it.

Jing Ziyan began to suspect that Wang Dong'er had some kind of identity that made her so important, and that her residence was designated as a forbidden area for ordinary students and even Mingde Hall students.
