Douluo: Purple Brilliance Shines, Sun, Moon, Mountains and Rivers Are Forever

Chapter 121! Dropping out of school today, reporting to military camp tomorrow.
The five swords were drawn simultaneously, tracing a perfect arc in the air like a long, straight snake.

Then, it shot out!

Xu Tianze swiftly drew his sword, and five flying swords swirled and intertwined, forming a sword formation that subtly aligned with the principles of the celestial bodies.

Seeing the flying sword hurtling through the air with the force of thunder, Ji Juechen brandished his black sword. The originally slow sword speed suddenly increased dramatically, bursting forth with the power of collapsing mountains, and the sword energy surged.

The moment the two swords clashed, there was no metallic clang, and the entire battle arena suddenly fell into a moment of stillness.

Then, the inky afterimage left by the black sword vanished, and the crisp sound of metal clashing against stone formed a long, drawn-out dragon's roar.

At the point where the five-colored sword light and the dark sword shadow intersected, a ring-shaped shockwave suddenly exploded on the Soul Battle Platform, and large areas of the ground cracked and collapsed, spreading rapidly into the distance like a spider web.

The shockwave sent Ji Juechen flying backward, and when he fell off the Soul Battle Platform, he was still gripping the hilt of the Xuan Sword tightly in his hand, blood dripping from his tiger's mouth.

Xu Tianze was also pierced in the palm by the sharp sword intent that broke through the encirclement. He spun back two and a half times before he could stand still.

He stared blankly at the crimson sword mark on his right palm and sighed softly, "I still haven't mastered it."

Under his control, the five swords returned to their sheaths. Then, he clenched his right fist, put his hand behind his back, and walked towards Ji Juechen.

With Jing Ziyan's help, Ji Juechen stood up shakily, his Xuanjian sword on the ground, crimson blood flowing down the blade.

He raised his head, his eyes filled with unprecedented excitement, "I lost."

"Don't forget what you promised me."

“I will not forget. Even if Your Highness did not say it, I would still follow you. I have learned a lot about Your Highness’s swordsmanship today.”

"This sword is merely a fleeting phenomenon. It took a thousand days of nurturing to acquire such power. In terms of pure swordsmanship, I am inferior to you. Senior Ji, I look forward to your guidance in the future."

Ji Juechen smiled in relief, "Your Highness, does this sword strike have a name?"

(⊙o⊙)...

After a moment's thought, Xu Tianze scratched his head and said, "Yes, this sword technique is called 'Ji'!"

The sword has been nurtured for so long so that it can decide the outcome of a battle with a single strike, and if necessary, determine life and death and pronounce the final verdict.

In the final match, the four sword strikes that Xu Tianze threw at Huo Yuhao were just ordinary flying sword techniques, because he knew that Huo Yuhao was no longer able to resist and that he could kill him with simple control of the flying sword.

Conversely, if the referee intervenes, even if he forcibly uses the Sword Heart Instant, there is nothing he can do.

Therefore, Xu Tianze finally used the sword he had been nurturing for so long on the right person today. At the same time, this "sword challenge" also made him see his own shortcomings.

“Ji…a good name. Your Highness, I will go to process my withdrawal from school today and report to the military camp tomorrow.”

"Alright, see you there."

Just then, Jing Ziyan suddenly stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Xu Tianze.

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect him and won't let you be a widow."

"Please stop joking, Your Highness. Ji Juechen and I are not in that kind of relationship."

"No?" Xu Tianze slapped his forehead, almost forgetting that the two of them hadn't even broken the ice yet. "Um, I misunderstood, please forgive me. Um, just say what you want to say."

"I humbly request Your Highness's permission to join the army."

"Ziyan, you..."

"Ji Juechen, don't misunderstand. I sincerely want to follow His Highness and make a difference on the battlefield."

Ha ha!

If Xu Tianze hadn't known Jing Ziyan's feelings for Ji Juechen, he might have actually believed this nonsense with a tiny bit of a doubt.

Regardless, this is all good news. The family has come to us willingly. If we can help them get together in the future, wouldn't it be easier to control Ji Juechen? "Since you have the heart to serve the empire, I am very pleased. I agree to this matter. You will report to the Shence Camp with Ji Juechen tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Then it's settled. Here, take the medicine and hurry back to treat his injuries."

Jing Ziyan took the small medicine bottle, thanked Xu Tianze again, and then helped Ji Juechen away.

After watching the two leave, a small, cool hand suddenly and carefully pulled up his hand that was behind his back.

"Mengmeng, what's wrong?"

“You’re injured.” Meng Hongchen looked up at him, her tone firm.

"It's okay, I'm all better now, look."

Sure enough, although bloodstains still remained on Xu Tianze's right hand, the wound had healed. The life force sent by Mother Life was truly useful.

With mixed feelings, Meng Hongchen grasped his hand, "A-Ce, you've already gotten injured before even going to war. Isn't that bad luck?"

Xu Tianze smiled and raised his left hand to rub her head. "Silly girl, a minor injury that's not worth mentioning has resulted in two more valiant generals joining my army. This should be considered very auspicious."

"The army, the army! Your Highness only cares about military power; military power is above all else in Your Highness's heart!"

"That's not it."

Meng Hongchen asked expectantly, "Since military power is not the most important thing, then what is the most important thing in Your Highness's heart?"

"The most important thing, of course, is the supreme position of the Sun Moon Empire. However, Father is still alive, so saying this directly would be somewhat treasonous. So, remember to keep it a secret."

Upon hearing this, Meng Hongchen sighed helplessly. What unrealistic thing was she expecting?

As the two were about to leave, Xu Tianze inadvertently caught a glimpse of a figure departing in the distance.

He felt that the figure looked extremely familiar, but for a moment he couldn't quite place it.

"Your Highness, what's wrong? What are you looking at?"

Xu Tianze shook his head. "It's nothing, let's go."

After safely delivering Meng Hongchen to Xiao Hongchen, Xu Tianze returned home.

Today's battle with Ji Juechen was quite fruitful for him, and he needs to digest it immediately, hoping to achieve a breakthrough.

Xu Tianze arrived at his spiritual sea, only to find that his spiritual sea had undergone another dramatic change. The once vibrant Mirror Lake was now covered with a layer of golden gauze.

Electrolux appeared silently. "Ace, you're here."

"The student has met the teacher."

"No need for formalities." Electrox circled around, looking the little monster up and down, but couldn't figure out anything about it.

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

"I've discovered that you're truly extraordinary, kid. You've actually reached the realm of Boundless Oceans so quickly. If you were Huo Yuhao, I would also be surprised, but I could understand."

After all, Huo Yuhao's main spirit, the Spirit Eye, is of the mental attribute, making his mental strength stronger than other spirit masters of the same level. But you…”

"What's wrong with me?"

"What's wrong? You're not a spiritual being, and you don't even know how to properly use your spiritual power. How could you possibly think of combining your spiritual power with your soul power?"

Xu Tianze extended his sword finger, "It's a coincidence, I didn't expect that the Sword Heart Instant could have such an effect."
