Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 344 Yin Prevails Over Yang

In the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City, on the spacious training ground of the Zizai Gate.

With a "boom," a golden light swept across, like a giant dragon turning over. The Golden Dragon Spear collided with the Angelic Holy Sword, and Ye Guyi was swept away by a tremendous force.

Ye Guyi plunged the holy sword into the ground and slid backward, dissipating Wang Qiu'er's power and leaving a long trail on the training ground.

Holding the Golden Dragon Spear, Wang Qiu'er looked at Ye Guyi with a fierce gaze, her eyes burning with fighting spirit.

Ye Guyi stood up, drew the Angelic Holy Sword, rubbed her numb shoulders, and exclaimed, "Although I've seen it many times before, your power is truly astonishing."

She pointed her longsword at Wang Qiu'er, her eyes also filled with fighting spirit, and said softly, "Again."

As he spoke, holy light enveloped him, and sacred prayers echoed through the air, rushing towards Wang Qiu'er once more.

Besides the two fighters, a group of people were watching from below the arena, including Nan Qiuqiu, Nana, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Xu Jiujiu, Ling Luochen, Yu Mengdi, and Ye Wuqing.

Nan Qiuqiu exclaimed, "Is this what Ji Lin always meant by 'fighting with its own background music'?"

After saying that, Nan Qiuqiu looked at Yu Mengdi beside her and said, "Sister Yu, you should be like Sister Guyi, right? When you fight, you can hear that mysterious sound."

Yu Mengdi rolled her eyes and said, "I only make this sound when I use certain soul skills. You know that my martial soul is a lower-level alternative to Bone Robe, not as special as hers."

Nan Qiuqiu knew this too, so she didn't ask any more questions out of curiosity. Instead, she looked at the two people fighting fiercely in the arena and exclaimed, "But Qiu'er is so strong! Sister Gu Yi is a Soul Saint, and she was able to fight her to a draw."

Yu Mengdi laughed and said, "They are indeed very strong. I may not be Qiu'er's match. However, neither of them is using their full strength right now. Qiu'er is not using her Saint Mark Technique, and Gu Yi is not using her Martial Soul True Body."

"Seriously, they're both incredibly strong, like monsters. I'm a Soul Saint too, but I feel like there's such a huge gap between us."

Nan Qiuqiu said with a grin, "Sister Yu, why would you be so foolish as to compare yourself to those two? I'm different. I've never thought about comparing myself to monsters. According to Ji Lin, I'm just lying flat."

After a long pause, he stroked Nan Qiuqiu's pink hair and laughed, "Qiuqiu, how did you learn so many strange things from Xiaolin? If you learn bad things, how am I supposed to explain it to your mother?"

Nan Qiuqiu stuck out her tongue and said mischievously, "Sister Jiujiu, you and Ji Lin have already corrupted me since that night."

After a long while, her pretty face flushed red. Feeling the questioning look in Yu Mengdi's eyes, the princess, embarrassed and angry, pinched Nan Qiuqiu's pretty face and began to knead it.

Nan Qiuqiu struggled desperately, but no matter what she did, she could not escape Xu Jiujiu's clutches. Her little face was being ravaged by the Great Demon King Jiujiu.

Nan Qiuqiu muttered, "Sister Jiu Jiu, you're going too far. You're allowed to do bad things and torment me, but I'm not allowed to say anything."

Xu Jiujiu grew anxious and, filled with shame and anger, said, "You still dare to talk!"

The hand movements became more forceful, and Nan Qiuqiu's little face was rubbed until it turned red. She quickly begged for mercy, "Sister Jiujiu, I was wrong, I won't say it again, please let me go."

"What did I do wrong? What did you say made Sister Jiu Jiu angry, Qiu Qiu?"

The sudden male voice made Xu Jiujiu and Nan Qiuqiu freeze at the same time, and the two of them stood there stunned.

Yu Mengdi also noticed the figures behind the two and smiled, "Sect Leader, you're back."

Ji Lin nodded to Yu Mengdi and said, "Yes, they just got back. What are they doing?"

Yu Mengdi shook her head and said, "I don't know either. Qiuqiu said that you and Jiujiu did bad things to torment her and corrupted her. Then Jiujiu got anxious. That's how it happened."

Nan Qiuqiu and Xu Jiujiu both looked at Yu Mengdi with disbelief.

Ji Lin's lips twitched. He understood, but Yu Mengdi must have understood too, just pretending not to. It was pitiful that Xu Jiujiu was still trying to cover it up.

Xu Jiujiu and Nan Qiuqiu also came to their senses. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Nan Qiuqiu escaped Princess Jiujiu's clutches and shrank behind Ji Lin to complain, "Ji Lin, do something about your princess! She bullied me. Look, she's rubbed my face all over like this."

Ji Lin glanced at her; Nan Qiuqiu's face was flushed, not from shyness or anything like that, but simply from being rubbed red. He said irritably, "You deserve it! Why did you have to provoke Sister Jiu Jiu for no reason!"

Seeing that Ji Lin wouldn't help her, Nan Qiuqiu made a face at Ji Lin, stuck out her tongue, and ran to Ye Guyi, who had stopped fighting and walked off the training ground after seeing Ji Lin return, to seek comfort from her sister Guyi.

After tidying up her clothes, which had been disheveled by Nan Qiuqiu's struggles, Xu Jiujiu came to Ji Lin and said, "Why didn't you contact us before you came back? Did everything go smoothly?"

Ji Lin nodded and said, "I wanted to give you a surprise! I've broken through to the Soul Saint realm and obtained my seventh Soul Ring. Everything went very smoothly."

Ji Lin did not tell anyone except Chi Yuan that the Heavenly Fire Judgment would undergo a transformation after absorbing the seventh soul ring, and that this transformation was extremely dangerous, so as not to worry them.

Ji Lin looked at Wang Qiu'er, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Ye Guyi, Ling Luochen and others who had gathered around him because of his return, a group of beautiful women.

Ji Lin suddenly felt that the Zizai Sect might be a bit too female-dominated, just like Shrek Academy. Zhang Lexuan, Ma Xiaotao, Han Ruoruo, Wu Ming, and others were the most outstanding inner court disciples of Shrek, but if you were to talk about particularly outstanding male inner court disciples, it seemed that there were very few besides Ji Lin!

The same is true for their Zizai Sect now. Most of the inner disciples are female, and the only outstanding male disciple is Ye Wuqing. Even Gongyang Mo and Chen Zifeng from the Liyue Merchant Guild are no match for the female disciples.

However, Ji Lin thought this was fine too. It was good to have more outstanding and beautiful female disciples. At least it would be pleasing to the eye and much better than facing a group of muscular men every day.

Other sects are too busy being envious to worry about the issue of female dominance over male dominance.

During Ji Lin's absence, Wang Qiu'er and Ye Guyi often sparred, and others also occasionally had sparring sessions in the martial arts arena. During this time, the inner disciples became quite familiar with each other. Because they were chosen by Ji Lin to be teammates in the competition, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Nana, and Nan Qiuqiu were often dragged by Ye Guyi and Wang Qiu'er to train in the martial arts arena.

During this period, both of them became "devil instructors," giving special training to the weakest students. Their method was simple and brutal: real combat.

One-on-one combat, occasionally joined by Ye Wuqing, Yu Mengdi, Shen Ce, An Lengye and others for team battles.

During this process, Ye Wuqing, Shen Ce, An Lengye, and others were also defeated by Ye Guyi and Wang Qiu'er. Wang Qiu'er, with her Soul Emperor cultivation, brutally beat them, a group of Soul Saints, which truly impressed them. Ye Guyi was also very strong. Facing Wang Qiu'er, who could beat them, he was able to remain undefeated without using his Martial Soul True Body.

Furthermore, Ye Guyi could also beat them up.

Ye Wuqing and the others were almost driven to despair by being taught a lesson by Wang Qiu'er and Ye Guyi, who were younger than them. Fortunately, there were only two perverts, while Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Nan Qiuqiu, and Nana were normal, which at least gave them some comfort.

In just over a month, under the grueling training of Wang Qiu'er and Ye Guyi, Wang Dong'er and the others' combat abilities improved once again.

When Ji Lin heard how fulfilling their lives had been over the past month, his lips twitched. Wang Dong'er and the others were all Soul Emperors! Apart from a few Soul Saints, Soul Emperors were the main force in this Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition. You guys are strong enough.

He's this strong, yet so competitive. How are the participants from other sects and academies supposed to compete? It's too competitive!

Inside the Zizai Gate Council Hall.

Only Ji Lin, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Wang Qiu'er, Nana, Nan Qiuqiu, Ye Guyi, and Xu Jiujiu were present.

After a long pause, he looked at Ji Lin and the other seven and said, "A few days ago, I received a notification from the competition organizing committee that the new competition system and rules have been finalized and approved by all four countries on the continent."

Ji Lin was not surprised by this news; he already knew that the Sun Moon Empire's proposal would be approved.

Ji Lin looked at Wang Qiu'er and the others, and said with a smile, "In that case, the seven of us will represent the Zizai Sect in this year's competition, and there will be no substitutes, but I don't think we need any."

"Can I participate?"

Just then, a clear, cold voice rang out, and a stunningly beautiful girl dressed in white with silver hair and purple eyes walked into the council hall.

Ji Lin was taken aback. Gu Yuena? She's going to participate in this competition?

Ji Lin frowned and said, "Participating in this competition shouldn't be meaningful to you. How can a competition of this level interest you?"

Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, and the others looked at Gu Yuena with curiosity. Although Gu Yuena was ostensibly an inner disciple of the Zizai Sect, everyone could see that she was no ordinary person. The fact that she spent every day with the Grand Elder of the Zizai Sect was already quite surprising to the other disciples. Although Chi Yuan was easy to talk to and often gave them guidance in their cultivation, her status and cultivation level were still what they were used to, and the inner disciples respected Chi Yuan very much.

Gu Yuena rarely interacted with the inner disciples, and she didn't even pay much attention to Xu Jiujiu, the vice sect leader. The only people she could look up to were Ji Lin and Chi Yuan, and the only person she could have close contact with was Wang Qiu'er.

Therefore, Ye Guyi, Nan Qiuqiu, and Nana, who had spent some time with Gu Yuena, were all very curious about her, but they didn't dare to ask too many questions. After all, Ji Lin would have told them long ago if he really wanted to.

Gu Yuena said calmly, "Whether it's meaningful or not is up to me to decide. Just tell me if you'll let me participate or not."

Gu Yuena was also a little helpless. She couldn't very well say that she had been reading too many novels about pretending to be weak to take advantage of others, and suddenly became interested in the real-life version of it, while she discovered that Ji Lin was now suspected of doing so.

In her perception, Ji Lin posed a threat no less than that of a Title Douluo, but Ji Lin was actually a Soul Saint, giving off a strong impression of someone who was pretending to be weak while actually being strong.
