Douluo: The Peerless Sun and Moon Mechanical God

Chapter 41 The Elemental Heart of Mechanical Elements, Ji Juechen: He's really strong... (4K)

The full moon hung high in the night sky, its light illuminating the Royal Soul Master Academy. Three figures sped along the ground like arrows, rushing towards the nearest test area.

Ji Juechen held a long sword, his aura sharp and piercing. His usually cold, dark eyes flickered with the joy of meeting a worthy opponent. Purple smoke followed him like a shadow. Jing Ziyan's martial soul was just as its name suggested: smoke!

"boom!"

Compared to the two elite disciples of Mingde Hall, Lin Qing's aura was even more imposing. Mechanical elements gathered in the sky to form a silvery-white ocean, stirring up a turbulent elemental tide.

The three-headed blood dragon greatly replenishes qi and blood. Lin Qing is a vigorous young man in his prime, and the consequences of his fiery and impulsive behavior are self-evident. He is ready to be released and urgently needs to vent his anger!

In the dead of night, the experimental area was deserted, except for the three Qi working late into the night.

"One person can't satisfy me, all of you come at me together." Lin Qing's voice was hoarse.

"Come!"

Ji Juechen shouted loudly, and Jing Ziyan excitedly stretched her limbs and began warming up.

They challenged all sorts of masters throughout Mingde Hall, and their teachers and classmates avoided them like the plague. Lin Qing was the first student to welcome them with open arms, and was even willing to carry two of them on his own!

Lin Qing looked up at the vast starry sky, and the rampant blood energy activated an unprecedented fighting desire. The four soul rings of yellow, purple, purple and black rose fiercely, and the mechanical element carried the master's will to soar up, and a silver sun appeared in the sky!

Under the bright sun and moon, silver light illuminated the heavens and earth. Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan's eyes narrowed as they saw mechanical elements emerging from all directions, clinging to Lin Qing's body and solidifying into tangible objects.

The handsome young man held a silver-white longsword, wore armor of the same color, and his long silver-gray hair danced in the wind. His figure appeared majestic against the backdrop of the elemental ocean, and the mechanical elements changed unpredictably with every move he made.

Its divine blade can pierce anything, and its armor is indestructible.

Sharpness and strength, the two world-renowned characteristics of metal are fully embodied.

If we disregard race, the strongest metal-attribute expert standing at the top of the Douluo pyramid is undoubtedly the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear King, ranked sixth among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts. With its powerful attribute of near-perfect metal, the Bear King's destructive power far surpasses that of the ranked Ten Thousand Demon King. Its Dark Gold Terror Claws can tear apart giant dragons, and its steel-like bones can easily withstand the all-out attack of a Super Douluo.

As a mutated ultimate martial soul, the mechanical element not only adapts to the development of the times and fits the soul guide, but also retains the original strength of the ultimate metal, making it both offensive and defensive.

"The Heart of the Elements —"

Jing Ziyan murmured to herself, her pupils reflecting Lin Qing, who was holding a sword and wearing armor.

Upon hearing this, Ji Juechen turned his head and gave him a questioning look. The sword fanatic's small brain was only filled with a sword, and he never cared about the messy cultivation paths outside.

The two had known each other for many years. When her friend asked her a question, Jing Ziyan explained, "There are countless martial spirits on the continent, and the paths of a soul master's cultivation are branching out, but the ultimate path leads to the same destination."

If you want to transform into a true peak powerhouse, a Soul Master must deeply understand their own Martial Soul, which is also the path that you and I yearn to pursue.

You've gone further than me, comprehending a unique sword intent. Lin Qing is the same; he possesses an elemental martial soul, and his path leads to the Heart of the Elements. His basic abilities are as you see: he can change form at will, wielding swords, spears, and halberds with effortless skill.

Jing Ziyan sniffed and sighed, "The Sun and Moon Team has a regular member named Li Yan, whose martial soul is an impure fire element."

I just sparred with Li Yan last week. He's struggling with the path to the Heart of Elements, completely lost and unable to even grasp the basics. The difficulty of comprehending the Heart of Elements is no less than that of Sword Intent.

"Does that mean we're evenly matched, and we can have a good fight tonight?"

Elemental Heart VS Sword Intent, Sword Fanatic Boy Captures the Key Point in a Second.

"Uh—that's right."

After a slight hesitation, Jing Ziyan nodded slightly. With her elemental sword armor transformed, Lin Qing didn't seem to intend to fire soul-guided cannons to fool the fool. Instead, he switched to the ultimate gold melee mode for a thrilling battle!

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Ji Juechen's dark eyes shone brightly, and his five great soul rings—yellow, purple, and black—appeared. A frenzied fighting spirit erupted from his body, and the soul master and the meteorite iron sword from beyond the heavens instantly became one.

He poured his emotions into the sword, and expressed them to the fullest extent.

A sword fanatic's cultivation of the sword path is a mad, focused dedication. Ji Juechen's awakened martial spirit was an ordinary sword. As his understanding of sword intent deepened, the martial spirit was no longer bound by its form and merged into the meteorite iron sword from beyond the heavens, becoming one with it.

The sword, imbued with the soul power of its master, began to hum slightly as it sensed the rapidly beating, fiery heart within its master's chest. This hum then evolved into a violent tremor.

An unstoppable sword intent spread out, and Ji Juechen's momentum surged at an astonishing speed. Once the Heavenly Meteorite Iron Sword was unleashed, it would surely be earth-shattering!

The Heart of Elements and the Sword Maniac's Sword Intent clashed in the void, embodying the complete understanding of the two geniuses on their respective paths of cultivation. It was not only a fierce battle but also a spiritual test of mutual understanding. Real combat is the only standard for testing the truth!

With his silver-white elemental longsword pointed forward, Lin Qing used his elemental heart to communicate with heaven and earth, suppressing the incoming fierce sword intent.

Ji Juechen is a sword prodigy of this era, perfectly embodying the famous saying of a certain master: there are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters.

A child with innate soul power at level three was not considered promising. He spent two years cultivating to level ten soul power. At the age of eight, he ventured alone into the Soul Beast Forest, successfully hunted down a hundred-year-old soul beast, and returned covered in blood.

It was originally a perfect story of a loser's rise to power, but fate played a trick on him, and Ji Juechen obtained the same soul skill as a traditional soul master, which amplified his soul power.

Lin Qing agreed to let Ye Guyi disguise herself as the Bright Swan and enter the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy because he took Ji Juechen's situation into account. With a reference point there, Miss Angel could hide herself safely.

Now, all the factions in Douluo Continent have become wiser and have realized that the combination of Soul Masters and Soul Masters is the general trend. Subsequently, the confrontation between the two major schools has been suspended, and the next generation of Soul Masters has turned to dual cultivation.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy realized this very early and established a controlled Soul Guidance Department, opening the door to convenience. Sword fanatic Ji Juechen and Ghost Nana were the best among them. They were not good at making soul tools, but only learned how to use them.

Meng Hongchen is also considered a semi-student of the Soul Guidance Department, which is why she asked Lin Qing to help her make a complete set of Soul Guidance Armor.

A fierce wind howled in the test area, and Jing Ziyan couldn't help but raise her hand to shield her face. The night wind brushed against her face, and the terrifying sharpness containing mechanical elements made her feel very uncomfortable.

The clash of wills may not be a real battle, but its danger should not be underestimated.

Jing Ziyan stared wide-eyed, trying her best to help Ji Juechen suppress Lin Qing, but the mental skill she had mastered was like a drop of water in a vast ocean, and when mixed in, it didn't even make a sound!

Surrounded by ferocious wolves and facing a fierce tiger, Jing Ziyan was filled with sorrow. She felt like an innocent little rabbit caught in the middle, wringing her hands and forcing a smile as she watched the two ferocious beasts with sharp teeth and claws fight!

"Crunch—"

Ji Juechen suddenly took a half step back, which meant that he had lost the battle of momentum.

The fierce sword intent, pushed to its limit, collided with the Heart of Elements, like a wave crashing against an ancient and hard reef, shattering into pieces and unable to shake the opponent in the slightest. It was clearly a cold and hard heart of steel!

The initial momentum waned, and the unstoppable sword intent was neutralized by the Heart of Elements. Ji Juechen's accumulated sword momentum suddenly collapsed, while Lin Qing's aura surged. Mechanical elements were everywhere, forcing Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan to use their soul power to resist.

"superior!"

Seeing that the opponent's momentum was unstoppable and even rising steadily, Ji Juechen knew that they could not sit idly by and wait for death. They had to join forces to attack in order to reverse the decline!

The two Soul Kings of Mingde Hall charged forward fearlessly, purple smoke swirling and rising, and the two yellow Soul Rings in front of Jing Ziyan shone brightly.

The first soul skill, Illusory Smoke, confuses vision and isolates perception.

The second soul skill, Condensing Smoke, amplifies smoke, affecting the enemy's speed and judgment.

Using the cover of the two groups' control soul skills, the two flanked from both sides. Ji Juechen's weapon was the Heavenly Meteorite Iron Sword, and Jing Ziyan also took out the Explosive Nine-Section Whip.

This level 5 melee soul tool comes with two attack effects: it vibrates at high frequency upon impact and produces an explosion effect, specifically designed to break through soul tool shields and defensive soul skills.

Ji Juechen's physical abilities were stronger than Jing Ziyan's. His explosive speed left a series of afterimages. His lower body was moving at high speed, while his upper body was like a movie in slow motion. He changed his sword-wielding posture from one hand to two hands gripping tightly. He slowly turned his body halfway and the meteorite iron sword swept across with immense force!

The sword light blazed brightly, and the sword maniac's close-combat attack was so powerful that no disciple of Mingde Hall could match him. The sword light whistled out and slashed, cracking a trench several meters deep in the solid alloy ground, which followed Ji Juechen's charge and extended forward!

With his internal energy surging to its peak, Lin Qing once again exhaled a cloud of white steam from his back. The elemental heart, which had previously suppressed the sword intent, was now at its strongest!

The silver-white longsword absorbed the surrounding mechanical elements, its sword light piercing through the air as it resolutely confronted the meteorite iron sword from outer space. The metal ground of the test area responded to the will of the master of metal, coordinating to unleash a deafening rumble!

As the two swords clashed, the air in the entire test area seemed to be sucked away by the sword energy of the ultimate gold and meteorite iron. As far as the eye could see, only the two-colored sword light remained, and everything became distorted.

Large cracks appeared on the ground, extending for thirty meters before gradually receding. The metallic earth appeared fragile and vulnerable before the two, churning into a shockingly dilapidated state.

Ji Juechen was sent flying backward, his sleeves bursting open, and his tiger's mouth split open from the force of the impact.

Forcibly stopping himself, Ji Juechen looked down at his beloved sword. Blood slid down the meteorite iron sword, and the dark blade hummed and trembled. Meteorite iron was not a top-grade material, and the blade, which was already somewhat lagging behind its master, was further damaged by the collision with the ultimate gold.

"Sizzle!"

Purple smoke quietly spread to Lin Qing's head, and the Nine-Section Whip burst out of the smoke. The long whip lashed down like a snake emerging from its hole. Jing Ziyan seized the moment that Ji Juechen had gained and launched a second wave of attack!

Lin Qing had anticipated this. Relying on the hard gauntlets formed from mechanical elements, he neither dodged nor avoided. He raised his hand and grabbed the Exploding Nine-Section Whip, ignoring the shock and explosion from the whip, and pulled Jing Ziyan on the other end in the opposite direction!

"not good!"

Jing Ziyan was shocked. She had no time to think about why elemental soul masters possessed such keen spiritual perception and physical strength. Her first priority was to save herself!

Immediately abandoning the fight for the Explosive Nine-Section Whip, Jing Ziyan ignited her fifth soul ring, a layer of thick smoke erupted, and her body shattered into a cloud of smoke that drifted in all directions.

Transformation into Smoke is Jing Ziyan's life-saving soul skill. Its effect is somewhat similar to the third soul skill of the mechanical element, Elemental Transformation. However, smoke is something that can be seen and touched. Lin Qing threw a straight punch with one hand, and the mechanical element roared as it dispersed the smoke!

The duration of the soul skill ended, and the purple smoke closed up again. Jing Ziyan's face was pale. She thought that the smoke transformation was surprising enough, but she never expected that the elemental martial soul could also dissipate the smoke!

"I'm quitting!"

Jing Ziyan waved her white handkerchief in surrender.

"Again!"

Ji Juechen fought with increasing ferocity and volunteered for a second battle.

Sword fanatics are single-mindedly focused on refining their sword intent, refusing to use other offensive soul tools and also refusing to engage in ranged attacks.

The Mingde Hall Soul Masters who defeated him almost all maintained distance and used long-range Soul Guidance Devices to kite him and deplete his Soul Power.

Ji Juechen had no objection to the defeat, but he had even greater respect for those Soul Masters who had defeated him in close combat. Jing Ziyan had done it before, and was once his target, but ultimately she was defeated by him. After today, the Sword Maniac's next target was Lin Qing!

Lin Qing remained silent, only charging forward with his sword. The blood energy of the three-headed blood dragon was still causing trouble within his body. Tonight was the most useful episode for Ji Juechen, the punching bag!

"Bang!"

Ji Juechen lay down, shook his head, and said with burning eyes, "Again!"

"Bang!"

"Come!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"I'm not coming, thank you————"

After seven or eight consecutive aerial maneuvers, Ji Juechen, whose school uniform was tattered, raised his hand to call a halt. After shouting "Let's do it again!" for the third time, he was already at his limit. However, the sword fanatic was reluctant to end this exhilarating close-quarters sparring session and gritted his teeth to withstand all the damage.

The problem is that Lin Qing seems even more straightforward than him. Instead of telling him to stop, he actually keeps hitting without stopping for a second, like a perpetual motion machine!

The wicked will be punished by the wicked. The sword fanatic, the leader of the ten most feared ghosts of Mingde Hall, has followed Jing Ziyan's example and raised the white flag, begging for mercy!

After disengaging from melee mode, Lin Qing felt refreshed, and his agitated blood and qi had finally calmed down to a considerable extent. He would not repeat the tragedy of the whale glue incident. The next day, he secretly hid away to wash the bitter tea seeds!

"That was a great fight, thank you for your guidance." Ji Juechen bowed and thanked him.

"I'm sorry, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed tonight and my hands were a little heavy. Thank you for your advice," Lin Qing said apologetically.

"It's alright, we've become friends through this fight, let's challenge each other to spar often in the future." Jing Ziyan waved her hand.

"Okay, let's make another appointment when we have time."

When a punching bag is offered to you, there's no reason to refuse.

The three said goodbye to each other. Jing Ziyan watched Lin Qing's figure disappear into the distance, and immediately grimaced, her face contorted into a grimace. She sighed and said, "That kid is finally gone. Ouch, it hurts so much!"

I need to rest for two weeks. You'll have to take the beating next time.

"Um."

Ji Juechen slung the meteorite iron sword over his shoulder, shook his swollen and numb hands a couple of times, a hint of pain flashing across his cold and ruthless face as he gasped softly, "Let me catch my breath too, he's really strong—"
