Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 213 The Lucky Senior from the Inner Court

You only have four chances left.

Ji Lin smiled and pointed to the remaining four lightning shadows of Chu Qingtian.

Chu Qingtian was sweating profusely. He was just a hair's breadth away from being hit by the sword energy. If he hadn't reacted quickly, the battle would have been over by now.

As a fragile, agile-type Soul Master, he couldn't withstand attacks from a strong-attack type, especially from someone like Ji Lin, who could kill him with a normal attack and even a sword aura.

Faced with a sky full of sword energy, he couldn't get close to Ji Lin, nor could he defend against Ji Lin's attacks. To make matters worse, Ji Lin somehow locked onto his body. How could he fight? Was he supposed to fight with his head?

monster!

Chu Qingtian's mind was filled with the word "monster," a word that others had used to describe him in the past.

Every student in Shrek Academy's inner court was once a monster in someone else's story, but in this gathering place of monsters, only the monster among monsters is qualified to be called a monster!

Ji Lin unleashed several more sword energies, all aimed directly at Chu Qingtian's body.

Here we go again!

This time, Chu Qingtian was finally certain that Ji Lin definitely had a way to lock onto his true form.

Switch positions again!

"Boom!" Only three of the five lightning bolts remained.

"boom--"

The same sword energy and the same explosion rang out twice in succession!

Chu Qingtian only had one last lightning bolt left.

Ji Lin looked at Chu Qingtian, who was barely breathing and his last lightning shadow, and smiled slightly. He then simultaneously unleashed two cross-shaped sword energies at Chu Qingtian and his lightning shadow.

Ji Lin has lost the will to fight; now, only the Soul Saint can put some pressure on him.

Of course, this is assuming that Ji Lin does not use the Word Spirit Technique.

He had figured out Chu Qingtian's true strength and weakness; he had some knowledge, but not much.

At the same time, Chu Qingtian, who had been holding back his frustration, erupted. His fourth and fifth soul rings lit up simultaneously, and a large amount of golden lightning gathered on his body. He transformed into a thunder leopard, shattered Ji Lin's sword energy, and then charged towards Ji Lin with violent lightning.

The middle-aged man watching from the sidelines shook his head and said, "They're still too impatient."

Faced with the overwhelming and violent lightning, Ji Lin gripped his twin swords and unleashed a crimson beam of light at Chu Qingtian, charging forward with all his might. Chu Qingtian, amidst the flashing lightning, crashed head-on into the crimson beam of light.

"boom--."

Flames collided with lightning, creating a series of explosions. Chu Qingtian was sent flying backward, but was caught by the middle-aged man in time.

Chu Qingtian was covered in dust and dirt, his clothes were tattered, but he only had superficial wounds and was not seriously injured, otherwise the middle-aged man would have stepped forward to stop the fight.

Ji Lin smiled at Chu Qingtian below the stage and said, "You flatter me, Senior Chu."

"Thank you so much for your mercy, junior. It seems the inner academy will have another monster in the future. Welcome to the inner academy, junior Ji Lin."

Chu Qingtian gave a bitter smile. As an inner court disciple, he had always considered himself a genius, but this time he was defeated so badly by Ji Lin, whose soul power was lower than his. For a moment, he even doubted his life and almost became depressed.

However, as an inner court disciple, he wasn't that fragile and quickly came to terms with it.

Despite having the advantage in soul power and being a top student in Shrek Academy's inner court, he couldn't even force Ji Lin to use his other soul skills. Throughout the entire battle, he didn't launch any threatening attacks and spent most of his time racking his brains to figure out how to escape from the sword energy.

In contrast, Ji Lin stood still and barely moved, merely unleashing a few sword strikes to force him into a desperate situation, causing him to flee in terror.

If the two of them hadn't been in a friendly, sparring-style assessment, but rather in a life-or-death battlefield, Chu Qingtian estimated that he would be pretty much half-dead by now.

To break through to the Soul King level and join the inner academy at the age of thirteen—such talent has never been seen in the ten-thousand-year history of Shrek Academy.

Chu Qingtian needed to adjust his state to face his next opponent. Ji Lin chatted with him for a few words before leaving the assessment area. He had already passed the assessment, and now he only needed to wait for Wang Qiu'er to pass so they could go to the inner courtyard together.

As they walked out of the assessment area, they saw Wang Qiu'er queuing up. Ji Lin nodded to Wang Qiu'er and gave her an OK sign.

Then he walked to the side, leaned against the wall, and closed his eyes to rest.

Soon, Wang Qiu'er was also assigned an opponent. When Ji Lin opened his eyes, he saw Wang Qiu'er enter the assessment area where he had just come out.

Ji Lin's expression was strange. He hadn't expected Chu Qingtian to be so lucky. After being assigned to him, he was able to meet Wang Qiu'er. Ji Lin silently mourned for Chu Qingtian for two seconds. This guy was so lucky. If he were to hunt souls with him, he would definitely not let him open his soul bone.

Although Wang Qiu'er is only a Soul Master, she possesses the ultimate power of the Golden Dragon Martial Soul. Even a Soul King wouldn't be a match for her; a Soul Emperor would be more likely to be her match.

As expected, Wang Qiu'er came out not long after. After Wang Qiu'er came out, the assessment area belonging to Chu Qingtian was completely closed, and obviously no more students would be assigned to Chu Qingtian for assessment.

As for why this is the case, those who know, know.

Today, only five people passed the test, including Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er. It is unknown how many people will pass the test after the last day. The five of them headed towards Seagod Island under the guidance of the inner court's top-level teachers. As for Yan Shaozhe, he is the dean of the Martial Soul Department and is very busy. He doesn't have much time to wait for them to pass the test.

Shrek Academy was exceptionally quiet at night. Along the way, they did not encounter any students, only the occasional patrolling teacher.

A quarter of an hour later, the group arrived at the Sea God Lake. A layer of gentle ripples rose and fell on the surface of the lake, and the sparkling water rippled slowly. Unlike the jewel-like blue of the daytime, the Sea God Lake at night, illuminated by the Soul Guiding Lamp, gained a touch of tranquility and mystery.

The inner court teachers led them onto a small boat, which slowly made its way towards Poseidon Island.

Unlike the outer academy, the inner academy has fewer than a hundred disciples, so there is no such thing as dormitories. Instead, the inner academy has built individual huts on Poseidon Island.

Just like Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, they each have their own independent little house.

Ji Lin and the others can also choose their own cabin.

Upon arriving at Poseidon Island, the inner court teachers immediately took them to choose their accommodations.

Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er chose two small houses that were not far apart and close to the shore of Sea God Lake.

Of course, Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er preferred quiet places, so they chose relatively secluded locations. Ling Luochen also liked quiet places, so the three of them lived in a secluded spot, not far from each other.

Although Wang Qiu'er chose her own little house, she was definitely going to live with Ji Lin. The two of them would be cultivating together, so how could Ji Lin possibly agree to Wang Qiu'er living alone?

It just so happens that Wang Qiu'er's little house will be left to Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er.

Of course, if the two don't want to live together, there is an empty cabin not far away.
