Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 159 The Unlucky Old Rival

In the next quarterfinals, Ji Lin and his team faced their old rival, Zheng Tian Academy.

Ji Lin still remembers the frustrated expression on Zheng Tian Academy's expressionless face when they learned that their opponent was Shrek Academy again.

The outcome of the match was a foregone conclusion; Zheng Tian Academy was once again utterly defeated by Ji Lin and his team.

Shrek Academy advanced to the semifinals, overtaking Zheng Tian Academy.

The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament has come to a close, and the end also means the climax is coming.

After the match against Zhengtian Academy, Ji Lin returned to his room alone.

At this moment, Chi Yuan was already waiting for Ji Lin in Ji Lin's room.

Ji Lin notified Chi Yuan to come and protect him. He was preparing to deal with the Soul Devouring Knife today. Originally, he planned to awaken Ilex to help purify the Soul Devouring Knife after the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament ended. However, the storage soul tool containing the Soul Devouring Knife had been corroded by the Soul Devouring Knife and lost its function. The core formation was destroyed and it was completely damaged.

So he decided to purify the murderous blade during the break after defeating Zhengtian Academy.

Ji Lin sat cross-legged on the bed, while Chi Yuan stood guard to the side, protecting Ji Lin.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, Ji Lin gazed at the gray bead floating in the air and tried calling out twice, "Elder Yi, Elder Yi!"

Soon, the small gray bead trembled, and Electrolux's voice rang out, "Oh! It's Little Ji Lin. What do you need?"

Ji Lin smiled and said, "Elder Yi, I want to show you something."

"Oh! What is it?" Electrox asked, intrigued.

Ji Lin released the shielding of the mental space, and Electrolux's divine sense took the opportunity to probe out of the mental space and come to the outside world.

With Ji Lin's mental strength, he couldn't actually stop Tian Meng and Xue Di, let alone Ilex's divine sense. However, they were all shrewd people who had lived for countless years, so they understood why Ji Lin was blocking his mental space. They wouldn't actively break through this barrier to spy on Ji Lin's life in the outside world.

Electrolux immediately noticed that besides Ji Lin, there was also Chi Yuan in the room, but he ignored it. Since Ji Lin had called him out in person, she certainly hadn't intended to hide his presence. This person must be someone trustworthy.

Electrolux quickly noticed the ancient-patterned carving knife in front of Ji Lin and exclaimed in surprise, "Huh! What's this? The Gold of Life!"

Electrolux's voice was filled with surprise. With the help of the Life Gold, he wouldn't have to worry about his wisp of divine consciousness dissipating.

Thinking of this, Electrox's divine sense transformed into a gray light and shot towards the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade like lightning.

When Electrox's divine sense landed on the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade, the weapon trembled violently, and a series of humming sounds, like mournful screams, emanated from it. Anyone with a weak will would likely be severely affected by such a sound.

Electrox's voice echoed in the room, "To infuse the Gold of Life with evil thoughts and curses, what a culprit! Let me restore you to your original form, Gold of Life, to cleanse you of all filth and let your purest life essence shine forth."

Electrolux's gray divine consciousness instantly turned white—a flawless white, pure as jade, as white as snow, like a purifying light.

This time, the Soul-Devouring Blade didn't just tremble. As if in a death throes, a dense blue light suddenly burst forth from its body. The blue light formed a ferocious face in the air, making a crazy roar, as if it wanted to devour the white light formed by Elex's divine consciousness.

However, faced with the purifying light formed from Electrox's divine sense, the ferocious face released by the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade was quickly purified. Its originally extremely ferocious appearance became blurred, and the azure light swirled around it, still strong. However, from within that azure light, wisps of black energy evaporated and disappeared under the effect of the purifying light. The azure light on the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade also began to become increasingly pure and gentle.

The purification process was brief. Soon, the last wisp of black energy on the Soul-Devouring Blade vanished, and the azure light emanating from its body became as clear as water, without a trace of impurity. The originally dark body of the carving blade transformed into something resembling azure crystal.

Electrolux sighed wearily, "I didn't expect that just using the Purifying Light slightly would make me so weak. Without this Life Gold, my wisp of consciousness probably wouldn't have lasted much longer. I have to thank you, Little Ji Lin, for finding this Life Gold. Get ready, I'll help you fuse with it. You took the initiative to awaken me, so you must know something about this Life Gold, so I don't need to explain it to you."

Ji Lin nodded and said, "I understand, but I have no way to deal with that evil thought, so I can only trouble you, Elder Yi. Would you like to rest for a while? The fusion can be done at any time."

Electrox said, "No need. The sooner we fuse, the better. It will also benefit me."

Upon hearing this, Ji Lin picked up the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife, which had turned into a blue crystal, and followed Ilex's instructions to place it between his eyebrows.

In an instant, the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade emitted a bright blue light, and an extremely rich and vigorous life force flowed from the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade into Ji Lin's body.

Under the intense blue light, Ji Lin's entire body was stained blue.

An unprecedented feeling of comfort spread throughout Ji Lin's body.

He seemed to see everything inside his body, and all of it had now turned into a vibrant, life-giving blue. His meridians became more elastic, his internal organs became stronger, his bones became harder, and his entire being seemed to be undergoing a qualitative change.

The azure light continuously washed over his entire body, and his physical condition was visibly improving. Ji Lin had taken many medicines to improve his physical condition and strengthen his foundation since childhood, but none of them could compare to this. The vast life force contained within the Life Gold was like a pool of life water, cleansing every corner of his body from the outside in.

Although his cultivation level did not improve, his physical fitness, vitality, and recovery ability greatly increased.

This is one of the wonderful uses of the gold that sustains life.

After the life force of the Life Gold washed over Ji Lin's body, the tip of the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade slowly pierced through Ji Lin's brow.

Ji Lin remained calm. He knew this was a necessary process for the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade to fuse with him, and with the protection of the immense life force of the Life Gold, he would not be in any danger.

The Red Kite beside him and Electrox in the Sea of ​​Spirits will also protect his safety.
