Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 216 Breakthroughs

Ji Lin gave Ling Luochen a thumbs up for secretly helping him out and decided to reward her handsomely that night.

Chu Qingtian was completely stunned. He had initially thought they were just two newbies who had just entered the inner academy, but it turned out that they not only knew Ling Luochen, the famous Ice Princess of the inner academy, but also several other well-known inner academy disciples. Yao Haoxuan, Xixi, Gongyang Mo, and others were able to become the regular members of the Shrek Academy team because they had all stood out from all the inner academy disciples under the age of twenty, and they were all very famous figures among the inner academy disciples.

Ji Lin was chatting and laughing with these star disciples of the inner academy, not at all like a freshman who had just entered the inner academy.

Moreover, he overheard that Gongyang Mo and others wanted to join Ji Lin's sect. Good heavens! They're poaching people from Shrek Academy's inner courtyard.

Although not all Shrek Academy inner court disciples choose to stay at the academy, most eventually remain as inner court teachers. There are exceptions, like Dai Yueheng who leave immediately after graduation, but they are few and far between. At least Chu Qingtian considered staying at the academy as a teacher.

It's extremely rare to see someone like Ji Lin directly poach talent from Shrek Academy's inner courtyard.

Ji Lin turned to Chu Qingtian and said, "Senior Chu, we have some things to attend to, so we'll take our leave first. We'll have another chance to spar in the Soul Arena next time."

Ji Lin greeted Chu Qingtian and then left the teaching building with Wang Qiu'er, Ling Luochen, and Xixi. They needed to find a quiet place to sign the contract and teach Xixi and the others the Taixu Sword Qi.

Chu Qingtian watched Ji Lin and his group's retreating figures, pursed his lips, and muttered under his breath, "I must have been out of my mind to challenge you to a duel. My points aren't something I picked up off the street, and I'm not going to be a sucker for this! No, I need to avoid him. His girlfriend, Wang Qiu'er, isn't someone to mess with either. She almost broke my bones last time. This is the first time I've ever seen a girl with that much strength."

Chu Qingtian decided to stay away from the Soul Fighting Zone for a while to avoid running into those two monsters.

While Ji Lin and his group were searching for a secluded place, Yao Haoxuan also notified Chen Zifeng to come over. The four of them had already discussed it together and decided to join Ji Lin's sect to repay Ji Lin's life-saving grace. In addition, they also really thought highly of Ji Lin. After all, they knew very well that when they were seriously injured and returned to the academy to recuperate, it was Ji Lin, Ma Xiaotao, and Ling Luochen who won the championship of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament with a broken formation.

According to Ling Luochen, without Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er, it would have been difficult for them to win the championship.

At this point, all five of the seven regular members of the Shrek team, except for Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, have joined the Zizaimen.

Ji Lin's Freedom Gate has grown even stronger once again.

That evening, Ji Lin rewarded Ling Luochen handsomely. Of course, this reward was a very proper one; he simply used the Extreme Ice to help Ling Luochen cultivate. As for some intimate contact during the cultivation process, that was perfectly normal.

Of course, Wang Qiu'er was very unhappy about Ji Lin not coming home at night, but unfortunately, she couldn't resist Ji Lin's sweet words. She couldn't beat him in a fight, nor could she win an argument with him. Every time she lost a fight, she would be bullied severely by Ji Lin. In the end, she could only helplessly turn a blind eye.

Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan were in seclusion, and Ji Lin didn't see them in the inner courtyard. Ji Lin really liked the free atmosphere of the inner courtyard, and his most frequent place was the inner courtyard library. He loved the quiet atmosphere of reading there. Wang Qiu'er, on the other hand, loved going to the Soul Arena to fight. She went to the Soul Arena every day during this period. Ji Lin also went a few times, but the opponents were all too weak, and he didn't dare to use his full strength at all. So he only fought three matches a week, and stopped going after meeting the academy's requirements.

Wang Qiu'er has earned the title of "Golden Dragon Girl," and she is now quite famous among the inner courtyard disciples, renowned for her fighting prowess.

Although she was only a Soul Master, most of the inner court disciples at the Soul King level were no match for her.

When Chu Qingtian heard about Wang Qiu'er's recent fame, he was especially glad that he hadn't gone to the Soul Arena recently.

He didn't want to experience that feeling of almost having his bones broken by a single punch again.

Time flies. Almost half a year has passed since Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er entered the inner academy. Bei Bei and the others have also emerged from seclusion. When they emerged, Jiang Nannan broke through to level 49, while Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi broke through to the Soul King level.

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er were also admitted to the Inner Academy. Wang Dong'er's cultivation speed was indeed outrageous, and she had already broken through to level 44.

Although Xiaoxiao was a little behind, she still broke through level 40 and obtained her fourth soul ring, and passed the inner court assessment together with Wang Dong'er.

Wang Qiu'er was also stuck at level 49, while Ji Lin had leveled up twice. The leveling speed of a Soul King was indeed slow. In addition, Ji Lin had the ultimate attributes. If he hadn't been cultivating with Wang Qiu'er and Ling Luochen, who both had the same Martial Soul Fusion Skill, his improvement speed would have been even slower.

Ling Luochen has already broken through to the Soul Emperor level. The fusion with the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone allowed her to advance two levels. Combined with her cultivation over the past year, she broke through to the Soul Emperor level recently. Before her, Gongyang Mo and Chen Zifeng broke through to the Soul Emperor level. Gongyang Mo broke through after returning to Shrek Academy with serious injuries and recovering. Chen Zifeng, like Ling Luochen, broke through recently, only a dozen days faster than Ling Luochen. Xixi is level 59 and is also about to break through. You should know that her level was previously one level higher than Ling Luochen's, but Ling Luochen fused with the Soul Bone and occasionally cultivated with Ji Lin, so she surpassed Xixi.

Because Yao Haoxuan is a support-type cultivator, his cultivation speed is not very fast, and he will need at least half a year before breaking through to the Soul Emperor level.

After they all broke through their cultivation levels, the academy arranged for Zhang Lexuan to lead a team, with an elder from the Sea God Pavilion to look after them, and to take Ma Xiaotao, who had just broken through to Soul Saint, along with Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Ling Luochen, to hunt souls in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Zhang Lexuan, as the senior disciple of the inner courtyard, was simply too busy. She spent far less time with Ji Lin than with Wang Qiu'er and Ling Luochen.

Over the course of more than a year, the Douluo Continent suddenly became exceptionally calm. The Sun Moon Empire's previous restlessness vanished. Mu En's intimidation of Jing Hongchen, the head of the Mingde Hall, had taken effect. After learning of the existence of Dragon God Douluo Mu En from Jing Hongchen, the Sun Moon Empire fell silent and ceased its previous petty actions. The existence of a demigod was a thorn in the side of the Sun Moon Empire, and for more than a year, it dared not make the slightest move. Even the pro-war faction within the Sun Moon Empire fell silent and no longer took the initiative to provoke the original three Douluo kingdoms.

But this is only temporary. Once Moon falls, the Sun and Moon Empire will definitely take further action.
