Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 212 Elementalization

The inner court disciple opposite Ji Lin also said without ceremony, "No problem, senior, I'll try to go easy on you."

After saying that, he clasped his hands in a fist and said to Ji Lin, "Chu Qingtian, 23 years old, level 57 agility-attack type battle spirit king, martial spirit electric mad leopard, please give me your guidance."

His soul rings, perfectly matched with two yellow, two purple, and one black, shone brightly. Brownish-yellow hairs faintly appeared on his body, and three camouflage-like black marks appeared on each side of his face.

The Electric Frenzied Leopard has possessed him!

Ji Lin raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Ji Lin, thirteen years old, level fifty-three offensive-type Battle Soul King, Martial Soul Heavenly Fire Judgment, please give me your guidance."

As soon as he finished speaking, he grasped the Heavenly Fire Judgment in his hand, and five spirit rings—one yellow, two purple, one black, and one red—shone out from under his feet.

"What the heck?! A Soul King? Is there something wrong with your Soul Ring? You're cheating!"

Chu Qingtian suspected that he was suddenly hallucinating, or even experiencing a hallucination. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, but the still-shining spirit ring on Ji Lin's body told him that he was fine, and that the white-haired kid on the other side was the problem.

It is worth mentioning that the inner court's practical assessment is a closed-door event. Apart from the teachers who are scoring, there are no other spectators. This is to prevent the inner court disciples' abilities from being exposed.

The person who scored Ji Lin was the same middle-aged man who had helped Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er register. Just like Chu Qingtian, he rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was hallucinating.

Now he understood why Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er were personally brought by the Dean to participate in the assessment; this was the reason!

Chu Qingtian paused for a moment. At first, he thought Ji Lin was just a junior from the outer academy and wanted to take good care of him so that he could experience the care from an inner academy senior.

But now the tables have turned. Ji Lin gave him a big surprise. Although Ji Lin's level was a few levels lower than his, that 100,000-year soul ring was no ordinary object.

Chu Qingtian put away his pride and arrogance as an inner court disciple and stared intently at Ji Lin with a solemn expression.

He launched the first attack, and the yellow spirit ring at the top of the list flashed!

First Soul Skill: Lightning Strike!

The Electric Leopard is an anomaly among soul beasts because lightning is an extremely violent and destructive attribute. Most lightning-attribute soul beasts possess terrifying destructive power, such as the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. However, the Electric Leopard is different; it abandons destructive power in its lightning and focuses all its energy on speed!

Accelerating with lightning—lightning is already fast, let alone the Electric Leopard, which has abandoned destructive power and is purely pursuing speed.

Chu Qingtian was enveloped in lightning. He took a step forward, and with the help of his lightning soul skill, his speed instantly soared to the limit. He rushed towards Ji Lin like a phantom afterimage of lightning.

Ji Lin remained calm as the Heavenly Fire Judgment in his hand surged with flames, unleashing his third soul skill, Crimson Flame Sword Qi.

Several crimson sword energies, accompanied by a whistling sound, slashed towards Chu Qingtian. Unfortunately, Chu Qingtian was too fast, and Ji Lin's sword energies only struck a few afterimages.

But Ji Lin was not surprised at all. It would be too strange if Shrek Academy's inner disciples were killed by his few sword strikes.

Ji Lin unleashed a crescent-shaped sword aura horizontally, forcing back Chu Qingtian, who was trying to get closer.

This time, Ji Lin was a little more serious, releasing dozens of crimson sword energies in succession, which transformed into a large net of sword energy covering Chu Qingtian. The sword energy whistled as it arrived, leaving behind streaks of crimson afterimages in the air. Faced with the net of sword energy, Chu Qingtian had no choice but to raise his arms in front of his chest and release his third soul skill.

Countless bolts of lightning surged forth, and Chu Qingtian transformed into a giant Z-shaped bolt of lightning, rushing through the sword energy net. The acceleration effect from the lightning was still present, and the moment he passed through the sword energy net, the Z-shaped bolt of lightning that Chu Qingtian had transformed into was cleaved into fragments by the sword energy.

"Huh!"

Ji Lin let out a soft exclamation. He didn't believe that Chu Qingtian had been cleaved into pieces by his sword energy. Instead, the scattered sparks of lightning that fell to the ground did not dissipate. Instead, they gathered together, piling up layer upon layer, and converging into human figures formed by streaks of lightning.

Ji Lin was shocked. "Holy crap, elemental transformation? Where did you get the Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability from?!"

He thought Chu Qingtian was going to take his attack head-on, but he didn't expect Chu Qingtian to have such ability.

As expected of a character who appeared in the original work, he does have some skills.

Chu Qingtian, who had just reunited with Ji Lin, also felt a sense of relief, thankfully his third soul skill was activated in time, otherwise he would have been defeated. He felt that every sword aura from Ji Lin had the attack power of a Soul King, and this was just a normal attack. If he were hit, he would not be able to withstand it, let alone more than one sword aura.

His third soul skill is called Electricity Transformation, which can instantly transform his body into lightning elements, making him immune to physical damage and avoiding most energy damage!

It's a truly life-saving skill.

With this amazing skill, he escaped danger countless times during surveillance missions.

Especially for agility-based Soul Masters who are fragile, this skill is their trump card for survival.

You can only contribute if you're alive, whether in reality or in a game!

After a brief exchange, Chu Qingtian realized that he was no match for Ji Lin. However, this inner court assessment was not only a test for Ji Lin, but also a test for him, and he could not easily admit defeat.

Today, he stands on the assessment field, representing Shrek Academy's inner court in assessing the outer court and other outsiders. Losing is not an unacceptable thing; he can lose, but he cannot lose without dignity!

We must fight with all our might no matter what.

The lightning shadow formed by the scattered lightning behind Chu Qingtian suddenly moved, revealing his second soul skill, Lightning Shadow!

His second soul skill, Thunder Shadow, is not as rare and powerful as his third soul skill, Transformation into Lightning, but it is still a practical soul skill. Its essence is to create clones and illusions using lightning elements. The clones possess 20% of Chu Qingtian's abilities and can swap the positions of Chu Qingtian's real body and the clones. With Chu Qingtian's five-ring cultivation, he can create five clone clones.

Adding Chu Qingtian's true form, it's six against one.

The six bolts of lightning constantly shifted positions, trapping Ji Lin in the middle. Bolts of lightning condensed and shot towards Ji Lin from all directions.

Gazing at the chaotic lightning and arrows, Ji Lin's eyes flashed with golden light as he used mental detection. Chu Qingtian's movements were completely exposed to his mental detection.

Ji Lin unleashed a sword aura, shattering the lightning arrows aimed at him, and then immediately followed up with a second sword strike.

This sword energy slashed directly at one of the lightning shadows.

"How did he know?!"

Chu Qingtian was horrified; the sword energy was locked onto his body.

With a one in six probability, how did Ji Lin find him?

He didn't know that there was a special skill in this world called mental detection, exclusive to protagonists.

Unsurprisingly, Chu Qingtian's lightning shadow was cleaved in two by the sword energy, turning into lightning and dissipating. At the critical moment, he swapped positions with a lightning shadow, and the lightning shadow took the damage in his place.
