Peerless Tang Sect: Becoming a God Through Medicine

Chapter 24 I Want to Challenge You

“Since that’s the case, why don’t you give it a try? Everyone goes through this anyway,” Jing Ziyan said.

She had never advised Ji Juechen before, but now that he had this idea, she was happy to go along with it.

After all... Ji Juechen's innate level three soul power was indeed a bit too low.

He has come this far entirely because of his dedication to the sword. But talent is limited, and cultivation cannot reach the peak solely through dedication. If hard work were enough, everyone in Douluo Continent could become a Title Douluo.

This principle is perfectly embodied in Ji Juechen himself.

In the original story, he broke through to become a Title Douluo by using the mixed Qiankun Creation Pill given to him by Huo Yuhao, but he ultimately stopped at level 93, and even one more level was a luxury.

If he could break through to Super Douluo, given his spiritual level and comprehension, he might even have the potential to become Limit Douluo.

But he couldn't break through.

He may break through the limit, but this "possibility" is still based on the premise that he can break through to Super Douluo. However, he cannot even meet the minimum requirement of Super Douluo to comprehend the world, and he can only stop at level 93 for his entire life.

Without external assistance, his limit would probably be Soul Douluo, or even Soul Saint.

This is already quite extraordinary. To achieve this level of innate level three soul power without evolving one's martial soul through external means is something that only Ji Juechen has accomplished throughout the major eras of Douluo Continent.

His only way out is to seek help from outside forces.

Jing Ziyan didn't know if persuading Ji Juechen to take drugs would make him better, but no matter what, Ji Juechen couldn't get any worse.

Whether he takes drugs or not, his talent is still just so-so. Taking drugs might offer some hope, but without drugs, there's definitely no hope.

As for the problem now, there is only one left.

Ji Juechen's expression stiffened slightly, while Jing Ziyan smiled gently.

He has no money.

Describing Ji Juechen as penniless is perfectly accurate. He was specially recruited by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy based on his talent, and he doesn't even qualify as a master of actual control of soul tools, because he has never used a soul tool. His only weapon is the meteorite iron sword in his hand.

He had never even used a soul tool, let alone made one.

Therefore, Ji Juechen had absolutely no income.

Compared to him, Jing Ziyan, a level 5 Soul Master who is proficient in all aspects of Soul Tools, is incredibly wealthy. This is why Ji Juechen's face is stiff. He looks at Jing Ziyan with pleading eyes, but he has no idea how to start the conversation.

Borrowing money, especially from a girl, is really a bit of a challenge for this straight-laced guy who only has eyes for swords.

Seeing Ji Juechen's pitiful appearance, Jing Ziyan couldn't help but chuckle.

Her smile made Ji Juechen feel an urge to flee on the spot.

However, Jing Ziyan didn't go too far. Having known Ji Juechen for a long time, she naturally knew that beneath the other's cold facade lay a shy young man. If she pushed him too far, he probably wouldn't dare to contact her again.

How can we then bring him home?
So Jing Ziyan, being very understanding, didn't continue teasing her, but instead earnestly recommended several medicines that were highly praised by the students within the academy to Ji Juechen.

This is what later became known as the New Nine Dragons Power.

Coincidentally, Jing Ziyan already possessed these medications herself, as she was also engaged in cultivation, so it was quite reasonable for her to keep some medications on hand.

"You can use it for now, and you can return it to me later. There's no rush!"

After handing Ji Juechen a pile of bottles and jars and explaining the characteristics and methods of taking the medicines, Jing Ziyan patted her chest generously, causing her firm, strong, and very elastic breasts to tremble slightly.

However, Ji Juechen, whose attention was drawn to the medicine, clearly did not notice this beautiful scene.

It really made Jing Ziyan want to complain. Turns out, I'm not even as attractive as a bunch of bottles and jars.

Indeed, in Ji Juechen's eyes, nothing is more appealing than the power of the Nine Dragons. Taking medicine is a man's romance, and Jianjian is a man's badge of honor!

"I will definitely repay you!" Ji Juechen promised.

"Who wants you to pay me back..." Jing Ziyan sighed softly, barely audible, glanced back at Ji Juechen's profile, and slowly walked away.

After Jing Ziyan left, Ji Juechen finally looked up from the bottles and jars and gazed at Jing Ziyan's disappearing figure.

"Thank you, Ziyan."

……

With his pointed head, Lin Nuo was clearly no longer suited to continue learning about soul tools, so he planned to acquire his sixth soul ring first.

But just as he approached Jing Hongchen and expressed his desire to hunt souls, Jing Hongchen pondered for a moment and then asked him to wait a little longer.

"Why?" Lin Nuo asked, somewhat curious.

"Next year will be the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, so we naturally need to start selecting team members in advance," Jing Hongchen explained.

"The first selection will be held in two days. Our academy's selection process is very simple: we rank the students based on their overall strength according to their files, and then select the students who meet the competition requirements for another internal selection."

"You, Xiao and Meng are all on the selection list. I hope all three of you can participate in the competition. Whether you can bring glory is another matter, but the experience gained from such a competition is very valuable."

Two days is clearly not enough time to hunt for soul rings; it would be better to wait until after the selection process is over before hunting for soul rings.

Anyway, they are all young, and they are only participating in the selection of the reserve team.

As for Lin Nuo's soul power level, it's enough to participate in the selection of the reserve team, let alone the selection of the regular team. After all, in this year's class of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, only Ma Rulong was able to reach the Soul Emperor level before the age of twenty.

Therefore, Lin Nuo is almost certain to join the team.

Let's go through the motions first, and then we'll go hunt for souls.

"I see... I have no objection." Lin Nuo agreed without thinking too much.

The Soul Battle Tournament is one of the must-try classics in Douluo Continent, especially since Lin Nuo also needs to intercept Xue Di's embryo and accept the Life Gold, so he has no choice but to go.

For something this important, being delayed for two days is no big deal.

Anyway... he really doesn't care about these two days.

Lin Nuo hummed a song as she left the dean's office and walked through the campus.

But not long after, a handsome guy who was just as good-looking as him stopped him.

"I challenge you," the man said.

Looking at the handsome guy carrying a sword, Lin Nuo's eyes narrowed slightly, but after seeing the slightly protruding point on the other's head, his hostility towards the handsome guy involuntarily dissipated a lot.

They're the same kind!

“Okay, where should we play?” Arno readily agreed.

As long as you're on drugs, we're good friends, and we can discuss anything!

Ji Juechen was slightly taken aback.

So simple?
