Douluo Continent: Starting with the Tiger Emperor Template

"Not bad." Lu Ren's lips curled into a smile. "Really very good."

Facing two Soul Emperors, it would be a lie to say there was no pressure.

But he wasn't afraid at all.

Perfect timing! He also wanted to test whether his technique could go head-to-head with a high-level Soul Master.

"In that case, I'll open my own domain too."

Lu Ren slowly raised his hands and formed a hand seal in front of him, and a huge amount of magical power surged out from his body.

"Domain Expansion!"

In the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, there's a saying that goes, "The best way to deal with a domain is to deploy your own domain and cover or destroy the opponent's barrier."

Douluo Continent also has domains, but they are far inferior in comparison.

There is no guaranteed hit, no guaranteed kill. Even the most advanced techniques within it, when thrown into the sorcery system, are at best considered half-finished products.

After all, Douluo's domain at most only amplifies all attributes and increases the power of soul skills, nothing more.

But his field is different.

Lu Ren's magical power spread outwards, causing the air to tremble and fine cracks to appear on the ground...

Ji Juechen's gray domain had just unfolded and hadn't even taken shape when it was crushed by an even more domineering and tyrannical force.

Like a newly erected wall, it was directly washed away by the flood.

Moreover, in their eyes, something seemed to be about to burst out of the ground behind Lu Ren... Immediately afterwards, countless slashes rushed towards Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan.

However, all of this phenomenon lasted only 0.2 seconds before disappearing completely, as if nothing had happened.

This caused Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan to break out in a cold sweat, their pores opening up as if they had just been rescued from a life-or-death crisis.

"What...is this?"

The two were completely dumbfounded, stunned as they felt the previous crisis and the killing intent released by Lu Ren.

This is because Lu Ren's domain only lasted for 0.2 seconds before it was withdrawn.

But 0.2 seconds is enough.

Ji Juechen's domain was forcibly broken, and he froze on the spot, his face pale, the sword in his hand trembling, but he could not pierce it even slightly.

In that very short time, Lu Ren already knew that if he didn't take back his domain, the two people present would probably be killed by his slash.

"Luckily, Electrolux gave me some pointers yesterday, otherwise, it would have been difficult to execute that 0.2-second domain deployment. After all, it's about breaking through Ji Juechen's domain without compromising their operational efficiency..."

Lu Ren sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat mentally exhausted from all the work he had just done.

In just one year of wandering the Douluo Continent, he had already mastered advanced techniques such as the Reversal Technique and the Domain Deployment in 0.2 seconds.

Theoretically, even within the realm of sorcery, he's equivalent to a high-level sorcerer, right?

This is just Lu Ren's conservative estimate, after all, he has never gone all out before.

While Lu Ren was carefully assessing the power of his 0.2-second domain, Jing Ziyan quickly snapped out of her daze and used the remote soul tool again.

The soul-guided cannonballs that had been fired were already in front of Lu Ren.

Three shots fired in quick succession, forming a triangular pattern that blocked all escape routes.

The next moment, an invisible slash exploded around Lu Ren, precisely cutting each shell in half.

Metal fragments grazed his cheek, exploding into sparks on the ground behind him.

Jing Ziyan's pupils suddenly contracted.

She couldn't even see where those slashes came from.

The next second, Lu Ren appeared in front of her.

He threw out his right fist, and a dazzling black light exploded out.

Black Flash!

Jing Ziyan crossed her arms to block, her soul power surging out to protect her entire body, and she even used a level six soul guide shield.

But that force was too domineering. Not only did it shatter the level six soul guide shield with a single punch, but the fist also slammed into her crossed forearms. She was hit like a charging rhinoceros, her feet left the ground, and she flew backward.

She somersaulted twice in the air, barely managing to land, and then staggered back seven or eight steps before stopping.

The soul-guided arm guard on his forearm was shattered, with fragments scattered all over the ground.

Jing Ziyan hissed in pain a few times, then looked up at Lu Ren in front of her, and her lips twitched involuntarily.

She was defeated in just a few moves...

Moreover, the other party went easy on me; otherwise, I probably would have been knocked down on the spot by that punch.

What level of physical strength is this?

It's likely that there are already Soul Saints who have unleashed their Martial Soul True Form!

Many bystanders who witnessed this scene gasped in shock.

Ji Juechen stood still, unable to mobilize his soul power due to the aftereffects of his domain being broken. He could only stare longingly at Lu Ren with a complicated expression.

The two Soul Emperors... were defeated by Lu Ren so easily, without any power to fight back.

Lu Ren clapped his hands and walked towards Ji Juechen.

"You've now grasped the combination of spiritual power and soul power. That's right, that was your domain just now, wasn't it? What's it called?"

Ji Juechen was silent for a moment, then explained:

"Silence, the loneliness of being alone. It's not complete yet, otherwise we wouldn't have needed Ziyan to hold you back first."

He paused, then continued:

"You used the domain just now, right?"

"It only took 0.2 seconds to break my domain."

"That's right." Lu Ren nodded in agreement.

Ji Juechen fell silent.

It only lasted for 0.2 seconds before it was able to crush the domain he had just comprehended.

The gap was even larger than he had imagined.

He never imagined that his opponent, who was merely a four-ring Soul Master, could completely overwhelm him, a Soul Emperor, and that the opponent didn't even seem to be using their full strength, and might even be holding back.

Furthermore, the opponent also possesses a domain, which is even stronger than his self-created domain.

This made Ji Juechen even more curious about what his limit was.

His gaze gradually hardened.

Noticing Ji Juechen's gaze, Lu Ren raised his hand and patted Ji Juechen's shoulder.

"You are strong, but unfortunately, I am stronger."

"If you want to surpass me, you'll probably have to chase me your whole life."

After saying that, he turned and left, his back view as casual as if he had just finished shopping and was returning home.

Ji Juechen stood still, his grip on the sword tightening slightly.

Jing Ziyan rubbed her numb arm as she walked over, looking in the direction where Lu Ren had disappeared, and murmured:

"What kind of monster is this thing...?"

Ji Juechen did not answer.

He simply looked down at his sword, the intent of the sword slowly flowing in his eyes.

Is it something to chase for a lifetime?

Then let's chase it for a lifetime!

As the battle ended, the crowd gradually dispersed, and the cafeteria entrance returned to its usual tranquility.

A few latecomers peeked out, but seeing there was nothing exciting to see, they dispersed.

Xiao Hongchen sat on the stone bench by the flower bed, his face ashen, his fingertips digging deep into the edge of the bench, leaving a shallow mark.

He had witnessed the entire brief but overwhelming battle.

Sword fanatic Ji Juechen, the chief disciple of the Soul Guidance Department under the actual control of Mingde Hall, is a six-ring Soul Emperor. His strength can be said to be among the strongest of his peers. At least there are few sixth-level Soul Masters who can be stronger than Ji Juechen, unless you find some old guys.

Jing Ziyan, the uncrowned queen of sixth-level soul guides, is a recognized genius girl of Mingde Hall and is considered one of the strongest sixth-level soul guides.

However, the two of them, working together, were defeated by Lu Ren in just a few breaths.

This gap in strength is beyond what can be bridged simply through hard work.

In the end, is Lu Ren really a four-ring Soul Master?

That's so powerful it's almost despair-inducing!

"Brother," Meng Hongchen walked over and sat down next to him, "have you not recovered yet? You look so pale."

Xiao Hongchen took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

"I'm fine."

His voice was low and trembling with suppressed emotion.

"I saw the fight just now."

Meng Hongchen was silent for a moment, then said softly:

"Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan... are indeed very strong."

"It's not just about strength." Xiao Hongchen clenched his fist. "I've worked at Mingde Hall, and I know the strength of those two monsters better than anyone else."

"But they didn't even have a chance to fight back against Lu Ren."

He raised his head, his eyes burning with something almost scorching.

"Therefore, I am going into seclusion."

"What?" Meng Hongchen was taken aback.

"I must break through to Soul King this month." Xiao Hongchen stood up, his tone resolute. "Then I will challenge him again. If I can't even beat him, how can I lead the team to victory against Shrek Academy in the Continental Tournament?"
