Peerless Tang Sect: Becoming a God Through Medicine

Chapter 27: Is Lao Ji going to participate in the competition?
Although the Hongchen family has a lineage of swordsmanship, it is not particularly profound.

Meng Hongchen himself only used the sword as a handy weapon and did not delve deeply into this art. In fact, before obtaining this level-six soul tool longsword, Meng Hongchen rarely even used a sword, so it's no wonder that Lin Nuo didn't think of this aspect.

Similarly, Xiaomeng's swordsmanship can only be described as usable.

At most, he was only slightly more skilled than Lin Nuo in basic techniques like picking and stabbing; their sparring was more like two novices pecking at each other.

However, since both of them were novices, the training was actually more effective.

They reacted to each other's moves little by little, and if either side made even the slightest progress, the other would immediately sense it and follow suit.

This situation only applies to two people with good understanding; if it's two truly terrible players, they will most likely get worse and worse as they play.

After practicing all morning, Lin Nuo finally overcame his complete lack of knowledge about swordsmanship.

He could barely use the sword as a weapon.

After lunch, Lin Nuo and Xiao Meng got together again and began to look through the sword technique manual that Jing Hongchen had given her.

the other side.

After taking the medication, he felt a surge of exhilaration as he experienced a cultivation speed that was not his own for the first time. This was especially true since he had taken the medication without any burden after being enlightened by Lin Nuo.

That feeling was simply indescribable.

The sudden increase in cultivation speed was like going from walking on feet to flying with wings.

In particular, among these pills was a Xuan Shui Pill that Jing Ziyan had treasured for a long time.

The Xuan Shui Pill, which can enhance innate soul power, has fundamentally improved Ji Juechen's talent, and the impurities in his body have also been greatly cleared away.

This drug use boosted Ji Juechen's soul power by three levels, bringing it to level fifty-six.

"Such a huge improvement... It seems that medicine is indeed a shortcut on the path of cultivation, especially that Xuan Shui Pill," Ji Juechen thought to himself.

Looking at the grayish-brown impurities on the surface of his skin, which were being expelled from his body, Ji Juechen got up and walked towards the bathroom.

Although he remained outwardly calm, his inner emotions were in turmoil.

Ji Juechen didn't quite understand what friendship should be like, but it definitely shouldn't be like this between Jing Ziyan and him. These pills could bring him such a great improvement, so they must be very valuable.

He hadn't thought about anything romantic; that would be too much for a sword fanatic like him.

He was thinking about how to quickly repay Jing Ziyan for the money for the medicine and how he could repay her for her help.

Just as he repaid Linno with his swordsmanship.

How can one acquire a large amount of wealth in a short period of time?

Ji Juechen fell into thought.

Being a Soul Master is a very lucrative profession, but unfortunately it isn't for him. He can't make Soul Tools to sell, and he can't do other jobs either.

The quickest way to make money is either to steal or rob, which he definitely wouldn't do. And legitimate jobs like guarding pay too slowly. It seems like fighting spirits is the only option left...

Wait... Fighting Spirit?
Ji Juechen, who was washing his hair, paused for a moment, quickly finished washing it, and then sat down on the bathroom floor, lost in thought.

For powerful Soul Masters, the most legitimate and fastest way to make money is undoubtedly through Soul Battles, which has been the case since ancient times, even in the Sun Moon Empire.

However, compared to the traditional Soul Battles in Douluo Continent, which focus on the combination of Soul Tool creation and combat, the Soul Battles here are relatively rare in terms of traditional team battles. Ji Juechen certainly didn't want to participate in Soul Battles, but rather in the competition.

The entry requirement for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament is that participants must be under twenty years old. Ji Juechen meets the age requirement and is strong enough. He hadn't mentioned this idea before because he was too lazy to go. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was already enough for him to cultivate.

But now he has changed his mind.

Participants in the Soul Battle Tournament will definitely receive rewards. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is wealthy and powerful, so how could it possibly mistreat these talented students who are willing to bring glory to the academy?

Jing Hongchen never talks about glory or inheritance; he only talks about the future and interests.

As long as you participate in the Soul Fighting Tournament, you will have a bright future and great benefits; the better you perform, the more you will receive.

In addition, the inherent antagonism between the Sun Moon Empire and other empires, as well as Shrek Academy, along with other factors, led to each member of the Sun Moon team being willing to fight desperately on the field without needing to be brainwashed like Shrek Academy.

If Ji Juechen demonstrates sufficient strength during the competition, it's not impossible for him to receive a level seven or even level eight soul tool as a reward after the competition ends.

This is the fastest way he can think of to make big money right now.

In order to repay Jing Ziyan for the medicine and the favor.

He has to go to this big competition.

"Moreover... participating in the competition should also allow me to encounter many powerful opponents," Ji Juechen thought to himself, a hint of anticipation creeping into his eyes.

……

Early the next morning, Lin Nuo was woken up by Meng Hongchen. After washing up in a daze, he headed towards the largest battle arena of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

The day for the team selection has arrived, and those qualified to participate are heading to the Soul Arena in no particular order.

Lin Nuo and his two companions were already considered to have arrived relatively early.

When they arrived at the Soul Arena, the selection had not yet started, and everyone was still arriving one after another. Lin Nuo and his two companions found a spot to wait for the time being.

During this process, they met almost all acquaintances. As the most talented group of people studying in the same academy, they would see each other all the time. Even if they did not communicate, they would recognize each other.

That's not the point. The point is, Lin Nuo actually saw Ji Juechen!

"Hey buddy... are you here to participate in the Soul Fighting Tournament qualifiers?"

Does this story exist in the original work?
Lin Nuo was certain that it was absolutely not true.

When he sparred with Ji Juechen before, he sensed the other party's aura. Level 53. Although his level seemed to be lower than Lin Xi and Mika in the original work, in terms of actual combat strength, Ji Juechen was much higher than them.

If Ji Juechen had participated in the selection process in the original novel, he would definitely have become a member of the main team.

So, what exactly made you, a sword fanatic, change your mind and participate in the Soul Fighting Tournament?

Could it be because of me?
Arnold was shocked and puzzled by it.

If Ji Juechen really participates in the competition, then the children of Douluo Three Kingdoms will be in for a lot of fun. Not everyone is qualified to withstand that incomparably sharp sword energy.

Speaking of which, Shrek Academy seems to have a level 57 Soul Chaser Chen Zifeng?
I wonder what it would be like if he and Ji Juechen fought.
