Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 189 Offering Itself

Old Master Mu smiled slightly and said, "The matter is settled. You may leave now."

Jing Hongchen bowed again and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, senior. I would like to ask one last question. Is it possible for Shrek Academy to have deeper exchanges with our Sun Moon Empire?"

He was extending an olive branch to Shrek Academy on behalf of the Sun Moon Empire, because Shrek Academy never recruits students from the Sun Moon Empire.

Elder Mu raised an eyebrow. "Shrek Academy is Shrek Academy of Douluo Continent. The Sun Moon Empire is also the Sun Moon Empire of Douluo Continent."

Jing Hongchen's eyes flickered slightly. "Okay, I understand." After saying that, he turned and left.

Seeing that Jing Hongchen had left, Mu En said to Xuanzi, "Xuanzi, do you know why I wanted to see Jing Hongchen in person?"

Xuanzi frowned and said, "To deter the Sun and Moon Empire."

Moon nodded and said, "Deterrence is only one aspect; the main purpose is to buy time. My existence was originally Shrek Academy's biggest secret, known only to the elders of the Sea God Pavilion. But today, I deliberately exposed myself to Jing Hongchen to buy time. I hope that while I am still alive, the Sun Moon Empire will not take any action. Because I can no longer protect Shrek Academy for much longer."

Xuanzi looked sorrowful. He was well aware of Mu En's condition. Mu En was over two hundred years old and had suffered serious injuries. He didn't have many years left to live.

Old Master Mu continued, "I can feel my life slipping away. At most, it will be five years, or maybe three years, before my life comes to an end."

"If my vitality were still strong, then staying in the shadows would be the best option. Once the war begins, with my strength, I might not be able to turn the tide, but I could at least find an opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the Sun Moon Empire. But that's not possible now. My health is deteriorating, and only by letting them know of my existence can I have enough deterrence to suppress their desire for aggression."

"Two years from now, let the Soul Guidance Department select the two most outstanding disciples to study at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. I just hope they can bring us good news."

After Zhou Sichen and the others joined the Zizai Sect, Ji Lin went to find Ling Luochen and agreed to help Ling Luochen refine the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone.

Poseidon Island.

In a secluded little wooden cabin, Ji Lin and Ling Luochen sat facing each other. Ling Luochen's residence was very simple, without too many decorations, and looked very plain.

Ji Lin looked around and found only a few cat plush toys on a few cabinets. He subconsciously glanced at the cat hair accessory on Ling Luochen's head and thought to himself, "Sister Luochen really likes cats."

Ji Lin said, "Sister Luo Chen, let's begin."

Ling Luochen shook his head and said, "No rush. I heard you established a sect, and Wang Qiu'er and the others have joined."

Ji Lin said in surprise, "Yes, that's right. I did indeed establish a sect called the Freedom Sect."

Ling Luochen looked at Ji Lin with her cool eyes and said calmly, "I want to join."

Ji Lin looked puzzled. What's going on lately? So many people are coming to him without him having to invite them.

But Ling Luochen wanted to join the Free Sect, which he was more than happy to accept. How could he refuse? He immediately took out the contract and placed it in front of Ling Luochen. After explaining it to him, Ling Luochen signed his name without hesitation.

Afterwards, Ji Lin first taught Ling Luochen how to cultivate the Taixu Sword Qi. With the Taixu Sword Qi, Ling Luochen was more confident in absorbing the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone.

Ji Lin was led into the bedroom by Ling Luochen. Ling Luochen took off her shoes, and her beautiful legs, clad in white stockings, sat cross-legged on the bed. Ji Lin sat behind Ling Luochen, placed his hands on her back, and whispered, "I'm starting, Sister Luochen."

Ling Luochen hummed in agreement, and with a flick of her right hand, a piece of emerald green soul bone appeared in her hand. Seeing that Ling Luochen was ready, Ji Lin switched his martial soul to Ice and Snow Maiden, and an extreme chill flowed from his palm into Ling Luochen's body.

Ling Luochen was radiating white light. Her ice element martial soul had been temporarily transformed into the ultimate ice element martial soul by Ji Lin. Ling Luochen controlled the Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone and slowly merged it into her left hand.

Enveloping the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone with her soul power, which had transformed into extreme ice, it was clear that the left arm bone melted under the influence of her soul power, turning into a pool of emerald green liquid that slowly seeped into her left hand.

As soon as Ling Luochen obtained the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone, she felt a cold current flow into her body, and her left arm was immediately tinged with a jade green color.

Ling Luochen felt a sharp pain, her body began to tremble, and the intense pain caused sweat to bead on her forehead. At the same time, the residual consciousness of the Ice Jade Scorpion was frantically assaulting her mind.

Seeing this, Ji Lin quickly summoned the Ice and Snow Maiden Martial Soul. The Snow Emperor's phantom appeared in the room, emanating the aura of the overlord of the far north. After sensing the Snow Emperor's aura, the Ice Jade Scorpion immediately became obedient and stopped attacking Ling Luochen's spiritual sea. Instead, it actively cooperated with Ling Luochen to fuse with the left arm bone.

With the active cooperation of the Ice Jade Scorpion's residual consciousness, Ling Luochen's fusion went smoothly, but the pain of fusing the soul bone could not be alleviated.

Time passed second by second, and the sweat from the pain on Ling Luochen's body had soaked her clothes, revealing her curvaceous figure.

Just then, the emerald green light on Ling Luochen's left arm gradually contracted and merged into Ling Luochen's left arm.

Ling Luochen let out a breath, opened his tightly closed eyes, and his face was full of exhaustion.

She tried to sit up, but felt weak all over. Her body went limp and she fell backward uncontrollably. Ji Lin quickly caught Ling Luochen and held her in his arms.

Ji Lin asked with concern, "How are you, Sister Luo Chen?"

Lying in Ji Lin's arms, Ling Luochen looked up at Ji Lin and said weakly, "I barely managed to fuse it. Just like you said, the Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone could not have been successfully fused if it weren't for the ultimate ice martial soul. Without your help, I might not have even been able to keep this arm."

Ling Luochen reached out and stroked Ji Lin's cheek, saying gently, "Thank you, Ji Lin."

Before Ji Lin could react, she wrapped her arms around his neck, struggled to lift her head, and kissed him.

Ji Lin was a little surprised. He didn't expect Ling Luochen to be so proactive, but when he thought about Ling Luochen's past actions, he wasn't surprised. This girl has always been a woman of action.

Ling Luochen's movements were awkward. Her red lips pressed against Ji Lin's lips, but she didn't know what to do and seemed quite bewildered. It was obviously her first time kissing someone. Fortunately, Ji Lin took the initiative and slowly guided Ling Luochen, teaching her what kissing was, rather than just a simple lip-to-lip contact like she had.

The next chapter has been approved, so there are only these two chapters tonight.
