Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 232 The Sword of the Flame King

"Two years later, I crawled out of the hell called failure. I thought that my duel with you would be purer, instead of being mixed with other things."

Xiao Hongchen glanced around at the Shrek Academy inner court disciples who were watching. Because of their nine consecutive losses as exchange students, the surrounding area was filled with the mocking voices of the Shrek Academy inner court disciples, and Xiao Hongchen was also filled with anger.

Ji Lin sighed and said, "I thought you were mentally prepared before you came. You should know the relationship between your Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Shrek Academy, right? You don't really think you can study peacefully at Shrek Academy, do you? You're too naive."

"What you should be doing now is not raging incompetence, but defeating me and proving your strength."

"Alright, then so be it."

Xiao Hongchen laughed loudly, determined to subdue these Shrek Academy inner court disciples one by one. His six spirit rings, yellow, purple, black, and yellow, rose up, and his first and third spirit rings lit up. He waved his hands and threw out hundreds of metal balls, from which thick metal cannon barrels grew.

The three-legged golden toad is a divine beast with the bloodline of a metal master. Xiao Hongchen has mastered this talent to perfection. All 256 of his soul-guided cannons are level six soul-guided devices, and he even has a level seven energy-gathering soul-guided cannon on his chest.

Two hundred and fifty-six soul-guided cannons were unleashed simultaneously, and the oppressive aura of technology and firepower enveloped the entire arena, causing the Shrek Academy disciples to unconsciously furrow their brows.

As is well known, the martial soul inheritance of the Sun Moon Empire is relatively weak. Apart from Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, the martial souls of the disciples from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy who came to Shrek Academy for exchange and study are generally weaker than those of the Shrek Academy disciples. However, by cultivating both soul master and soul master, these exchange students are able to compete with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex and Xuanming Turtle of the same level!

Although they were ultimately defeated, if they were Soul Masters with the same Martial Soul, they would have been powerless against the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus and the Xuanming Turtle, rather than being defeated after a fierce battle.

This demonstrates the significant boost that soul tools provide to soul masters.

With a top-tier martial soul and a genius soul master like Xiao Hongchen, no six-ring soul emperor from Shrek Academy dared to say they could easily defeat her. Even Meng Hongchen, if it weren't for Wang Qiu'er's intervention, no one on Shrek Academy's side except Ji Lin would have been able to take her down.

The clanging of metal rang out as all 256 cannon barrels automatically aligned themselves, aimed at Ji Lin, and fired simultaneously.

With so many level-six soul-guided cannons firing in unison, the shells intertwined to form an endless net of fire. Xiao Hongchen stared intently at Ji Lin. He didn't want to lose again. Falling into the hell of defeat once was enough; that feeling was too bitter.

Xiao Hongchen's firepower output is equivalent to that of an ordinary Soul Master Corps; his firepower is enough to tear the earth apart.

With a piercing metallic scraping sound, Ji Lin plunged the Heavenly Fire Judgment into the earth. Instantly, a huge crack appeared in the ground, and scorching flames burst forth from the crack, engulfing everything in a sea of ​​fire.

Ji Lin stood in the sea of ​​fire, holding a sword in one hand. From beneath his feet, five spirit rings—one yellow, two purple, one black, and one red—slowly rose, forming the Heavenly Fire Domain and the Flame Dominator.

Xiao Hongchen couldn't believe what he was seeing. Ji Lin's breakthrough to Soul King was within his expectations, but the fact that his fifth Soul Ring was 100,000 years old was beyond his imagination.

As Ji Lin breathed, the surrounding air became scorching hot. Ji Lin snapped his fingers with his left hand, and the surrounding air was instantly ignited. Blazing flames rose up, and the temperature within the Heavenly Fire Domain rose again, enough to melt steel and become unbearable.

Ji Lin, however, remained completely unaffected despite being engulfed in flames.

The flames in the sky were like a raging beast, tearing the overwhelming shells into pieces, with metal fragments scattering in the air and falling like a torrential rain.

It was melted into molten iron by the high temperature before it even hit the ground.

The eruption of the Heavenly Fire Domain instantly pulverized the Level 6 Soul Guidance Cannonball into dust, with metal fragments flying through the air. The Soul Arena resembled a forest after a wildfire, a scene of utter devastation.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock..."

The sound of water droplets falling startled Xiao Hongchen from his shock. The extreme fire raging within the Heavenly Fire Domain was something that a mere level six soul tool could not withstand. Starting from the cannon barrel, it slowly melted into molten iron!

Ji Lin didn't give Xiao Hongchen time to be shocked. Ji Lin's left palm was facing upwards, and the fifth red soul ring on his body lit up with a blood-red light. At the same time, the clouds in the sky began to gather and rotate, gradually turning into a fiery red.

"Xiaotao, Ruoruo, look at the sky!"

Wu Ming pointed to the sky. Actually, she didn't need to prompt them; Han Ruoruo and Ma Xiaotao had already noticed something amiss. Not only them, but everyone in the room noticed the strangeness in the sky.

The sky was gradually dyed a fiery red, like a painting being set ablaze. Ji Lin gently clenched his outstretched left hand and said in a low voice, "The Blazing Flame King Sword."

As he called out, the sky began to churn, as if something was brewing.

Suddenly, the crimson sword tip slowly emerged from the clouds. The sword was engulfed in crimson flames, like a meteorite falling from the sky, carrying destructive power. The sword grew larger and larger, eventually transforming into a hundred-meter-long flaming sword, stretching across the sky.

With a wave of Ji Lin's left hand, a hundred-meter-long flaming sword descended from the sky, its target Xiao Hongchen.

When the Flame King Sword appeared, the entire Soul Arena fell silent, and everyone stared in horror at the flaming sword in the sky.

Xiao Hongchen roared, and his second, fourth, and sixth soul rings flashed simultaneously. Countless points of light appeared in the air, surging into the level seven energy-gathering soul cannon with the force of a vast ocean. The metal cannon barrel emitted a dazzling crimson light, and a crimson beam of light shot into the sky, meeting the descending Blazing Flame King Sword. However, Xiao Hongchen's all-out attack could not stop the Blazing Flame King Sword in the slightest. The shockwave it generated only caused the flames on the Blazing Flame King Sword to fluctuate slightly.

Xiao Hongchen wanted to fight back, but the Fiery Sword arrived in an instant. The scorching heat made him feel suffocated, and his body involuntarily took a few steps back.

The flaming sword, carrying immense force, slashed directly at Xiao Hongchen. Xiao Hongchen tried to dodge, but it was too late. He could only desperately try to block the attack.

A deafening roar resounded, shaking the entire arena. Smoke and dust filled the air, obscuring the view.

As the smoke cleared and the aftershocks subsided, Xiao Hongchen collapsed to the ground, his body convulsing. His entire body was charred black and still emitting smoke. If one did not know who he was beforehand, it would be extremely difficult to recognize him.

The tip of the Blazing King Sword remained above Xiao Hongchen. The Blazing King Sword hadn't even completely fallen yet, but the shockwave from its descent had already broken through Xiao Hongchen's defenses, and the high temperature from the shockwave had almost turned Xiao Hongchen into charcoal.
