Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 215 Farewell to the Regular Team Members

Chu Qingtian knew that Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er were new students who had just entered the inner academy and might not have heard of Han Ruoruo, so he took the initiative to introduce her: "Senior Sister Han is also an inner academy disciple, but her cultivation is profound. She has a nickname in the inner academy: Golden Fairy. She is known as the number one controller in the inner academy, and her status among the inner academy disciples is second only to the senior sister. Moreover, Senior Sister Han loves to read and has a wealth of theoretical knowledge, so she often acts as a guest teacher for the inner academy disciples. Senior Sister Han is very popular in the inner academy, and most inner academy disciples come to attend her classes."

Ji Lin asked curiously, "Can inner court disciples also serve as guest teachers?"

Chu Qingtian smiled and said, "Of course. Some inner court disciples have cultivation levels that are no lower than those of the inner court teachers, and some are even higher. Of course, they are qualified to teach inner court disciples with lower cultivation levels."

Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er followed Chu Qingtian into the inner courtyard teaching building. They entered the classroom through the back door. The inner courtyard classrooms were very spacious, and it was a tiered classroom with student seats distributed on steps of different heights, similar to the audience seating in a theater. This layout allowed students in the back rows to clearly see the podium and the soul-guiding screen, thus improving the teaching effect. When Ji Lin and the other two entered through the back door of the tiered staircase, there were already more than twenty inner courtyard disciples listening to the lecture in their respective seats.

This spacious lecture hall could hold at least a hundred people. The classroom, with only about twenty people, looked very empty. On the lowest platform, a beautiful woman who looked to be in her twenties, tall and with a warm smile on her face, was giving a lecture.

Ji Lin, Wang Qiu'er, and Chu Qingtian found empty seats and sat down without making a fuss, and began to listen to the lecture.

Ji Lin glanced around and spotted several familiar faces in the seats in front of him: Ling Luochen, Xixi, Yao Haoxuan, and Gongyang Mo. Apart from them, everyone else was a stranger.

Chen Zifeng and Dai Yueheng were not there. Dai Yueheng should have already graduated. The inner court disciples have a lot of freedom in their studies. There is no such thing as mandatory classes. Inner court disciples usually leave the academy to fight in the Soul Arena or to take on supervisory missions. Although there are hundreds of inner court disciples, not many of them actually stay in the academy.

Most of them were assigned to missions and trained outside.

When Ji Lin and the others entered, the course was already halfway through. After the course ended...

Just as Ling Luochen was about to get up and leave, a hand landed on her shoulder. It looked like a boy's hand. Ling Luochen frowned, a flash of anger crossed her eyes, and her face turned cold. Just as she was about to release her soul ring to teach the boy behind her who dared to approach her a lesson he would never forget, a familiar voice rang in her ear, "Sister Luochen, it's me."

Ling Luochen paused, turned around, and saw the white-haired, blue-eyed boy. The cold expression on her face vanished, and her tone became filled with surprise as she said, "You've entered the inner courtyard!"

Ji Lin replied somewhat stiffly, "Yes, I just passed the test yesterday and moved into the inner courtyard last night."

Ji Lin was somewhat helpless. When he first encountered Ling Luochen, he sensed fluctuations in soul power. It was obvious that Ling Luochen intended to attack directly. If he hadn't spoken up in time to warn him, he would be frozen into an ice sculpture by now.

He hadn't expected Ling Luochen to react so strongly, almost causing a misunderstanding.

Chu Qingtian, standing behind Ji Lin, stared dumbfounded at the two talking. He had been ready to watch the show when Ji Lin patted Ling Luochen's shoulder. As an inner court disciple, he knew Ling Luochen's personality well. This Snow Princess of the inner court especially hated others touching her body, let alone boys. In the past, there were inner court disciples who tried to flirt with Ling Luochen, but most of them were frozen into ice sculptures by Ling Luochen.

Judging from their current appearance, they clearly know each other. The fact that the Ice Princess Ling Luochen had no reaction to Ji Lin touching her body was quite surprising to him. It seems that he won't be able to watch the show.

Chu Qingtian glanced at Ji Lin and Ling Luochen, who were chatting happily, and then at Wang Qiu'er, who was expressionless to the side. His gaze toward Ji Lin was filled with admiration and envy.

He was chatting enthusiastically with a senior from the inner academy in front of his girlfriend, and his girlfriend didn't explode on the spot; she calmly sat to the side and waited.

And this is Ling Luochen! This is the first time he has ever seen Ling Luochen be so gentle to a boy.

At this moment, Yao Haoxuan, Xixi, and Gongyang Mo also spotted Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er, and the group quickly gathered around them.

Ji Lin smiled and looked at Gongyang Mo and the other two who were walking over, saying, "Senior Gongyang, Senior Xixi, and Senior Yao, it's been a long time. How are your injuries healing?"

Gongyang Mo smiled broadly when Ji Lin called him "senior sister," her fingers forming a delicate, orchid-like gesture as she spoke softly, "Junior brother Ji Lin is so good with words. Thanks to you, our injuries have long since healed. If you hadn't saved us, it's hard to say whether we'd still be standing here talking!"

Xi Xi said succinctly, "I have no way to repay your life-saving grace. I heard from Luo Chen that she joined your sect. If possible, I would like to join as well, not for any other reason than to repay your kindness."

Yao Haoxuan smiled and said, "Junior Brother Ji Lin, if it weren't for you, none of us would be able to stand here unharmed. Your sect is newly established, so you must need some help, right? I'd like to contribute as well."

Gongyang Mo smiled and said softly, "If you don't mind my age, I'd be happy to join you."

Ji Lin chuckled and said, "How could I possibly look down on my seniors? I'm overjoyed that they're willing to join the Free Sect."

He was indeed quite happy. The fact that Xixi and the others could become Shrek Academy's regular members already proved a lot. Every Shrek Academy regular member eventually became a Title Douluo. Even if Gongyang Mo could only cultivate to level 79 at most because of his Rainbow Dragon Martial Soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda proved that even a Soul Saint-level Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda could greatly increase the strength of a Title Douluo. How could the Rainbow Dragon, which was on par with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, be any worse?

A support-type Rainbow Dragon Soul Saint is even more important than a regular Title Douluo.

Ji Lin was incredibly lucky to have them join the Free Gate; all the effort he put into saving them back then was worthwhile.

What surprised Ji Lin the most was that Gongyang Mo and the others heard about the existence of the Zizai Sect from Ling Luochen. Logically speaking, given Ling Luochen's personality, it was impossible for him to tell Xixi and the others about this on his own initiative.

It seems that Ling Luochen, in order to help Ji Lin, took the initiative to reveal to Xi Xi and the others that Ji Lin had created a sect, and that she had also joined the sect, which is why Gongyang Mo and the other two have now taken the initiative to join.
