Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 350, Level Up

There was something that Zhang Lexuan and Xu Jiujiu didn't say: Ji Lin brought Chi Yuan, and that was a pillar of strength. Their true source of confidence wasn't the three great elders of the Star Luo Empire, nor Elder Xuan and the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, but Chi Yuan.

Ji Lin suggested, "Sister Le Xuan, I think we can tell the people of the Heavenly Soul Empire about this. The Heavenly Soul Empire also borders the Sun Moon Empire. If the Sun Moon Empire makes any moves, they will be the first to be affected."

Ji Lin did this not to win over allies to deal with the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult, but simply to strengthen the Sun Moon Empire and give Xu Jiujiu a chance to vent his anger, since the Sun Moon Empire had offended his wife.

Ji Lin's suggestion made Zhang Lexuan and Xu Jiujiu's eyes light up.

"Xiao Lin is right. The Sun Moon Empire is our common enemy. It's good to let them be prepared in advance. I know Princess Vina of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Leave this to me." Xu Jiujiu took on the task of contacting the Heavenly Soul Empire.

"I remember that when Shrek City held the selection for the Liyue Seven Stars position in the Liyue Merchant Guild last time, the Heavenly Soul Empire strongly supported the Body Sect, allowing the Body Sect to obtain a Liyue Seven Star position, and the Body Sect is located within the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire," Ji Lin said, narrowing his eyes.

"Xiao Lin, do you mean that the Body Sect has sided with the Heavenly Soul Empire? I also attended the meeting in Shrek City last time, and it doesn't seem like it!" Xu Jiujiu asked hesitantly.

If the Body Sect truly submits to the Heavenly Soul Empire, then the Heavenly Soul Empire's military strength should not be underestimated.

Ji Lin nodded slightly and said, "Rather than saying they've pledged allegiance, it's more accurate to say that the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Body Sect are cooperating with each other. They've both keenly sensed the changes in the situation on the continent and are simply trying to keep each other warm."

After a long pause, he said, "Alright, I'll go and call Vina over right now. The stronger they are, the better, as we face the common enemy, the Sun Moon Empire."

Beibei stood up and said, "Then we'll leave first. I'll go and inquire about the Holy Spirit Cult. Don't worry, I won't act impulsively."

Xu Sanshi also stood up and said, "I'll go with you. I'm afraid you'll act recklessly once you see Tang Ya. It's very dangerous for her right now. I have to keep an eye on you so you don't do anything foolish."

Beibei rolled her eyes. She had already told him he wouldn't act impulsively. Did she really not trust him that much?

Xu Sanshi pursed his lips speechlessly. It was precisely because he knew and trusted Beibei so much that he was worried! It would be strange if this guy could remain calm and not act impulsively when he saw Tang Ya!

Wang Dong'er idly played with her pinkish-blue hair, blinked her pinkish-blue eyes, and clapped her hands, saying, "Then this matter will be left to Senior Sister, Sister Jiu Jiu, Ji Lin, and the others. We can't help with this."

After saying that, she pulled Xiaoxiao, Jiang Nannan, and Wang Qiu'er along, saying, "Let's go, let's go explore Mingdu and see just how prosperous this number one city on the continent really is."

Xiao Xiao was also a little tempted. It was the number one city on the mainland! She wanted to go and have a look! Jiang Nannan nodded in agreement, while Wang Qiu'er glanced at Ji Lin.

Ji Lin smiled and said, "Then go ahead, have some fun before the competition starts. Once the competition starts, you won't have as much time to play."

After watching Bei Bei, Wang Dong'er, and the others leave one after another, Xu Jiujiu also went out to look for Princess Vina of the Heavenly Soul Empire, leaving only Zhang Lexuan and Ji Lin at the scene.

Ji Lin stood up and sat down next to Zhang Lexuan again, put his arm around her waist, and whispered in her ear, "Finally, I have a chance to be alone with you, Lexuan. Did you miss me?"

Feeling the warmth of her breath on her ear, Zhang Lexuan's body went limp against Ji Lin's, and she said softly, "Of course I miss you. I've been thinking about you every day for the past few months."

Ji Lin gently took Zhang Lexuan's sensitive spot into his mouth, her bright red earlobe, and whispered, "Then tonight, let's go to a hotel and talk alone."

Zhang Lexuan trembled, let out a soft moan, and said in a trembling voice, "No, don't do this, Jiu Jiu will be back soon."

Ji Lin continued working, chuckling, "Sister Le Xuan, you forgot, I have mental detection abilities, so don't worry."

Zhang Lexuan was breathing rapidly and pleaded, "No, not here, okay? Tonight, please. You can do whatever you want tonight."

Ji Lin paused, then smiled and said, "You said it yourself, Sister Le Xuan, you can't go back on your word."

"Um!"

Zhang Lexuan's cheeks flushed red, and she bit her red lips with her pearly teeth. She reluctantly agreed. She knew that Ji Lin would probably ask her to do many embarrassing things that night, but she had said that Ji Lin could do whatever he wanted tonight.

Ji Lin hadn't planned to be too unrestrained in this place; he was still mindful of his limits. He was just teasing Zhang Lexuan, but he didn't expect to gain something unexpected.

Not long after, Xu Jiujiu brought Princess Vina of the Heavenly Soul Empire to Shrek's Villa No. 1.

Following behind Xu Jiujiu were two beautiful young girls and a middle-aged man.

The young woman at the head of the group wore a pale yellow dress and appeared quite delicate. Her beautiful eyes were brimming with tears, and even from a distance, one could sense a subtle gentleness emanating from her. Her beauty was second to none.

Judging from her position and her intimate manner with Xu Jiujiu, she is most likely Princess Vina of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

The woman behind Princess Vina appeared to be around the same age, but had a cool and aloof demeanor. She was slightly taller, with long black hair neatly tied in a ponytail. Her white, fitted outfit accentuated her long, striking legs. Although not as beautiful as the two princesses in front of her, her aura was refreshing.

As for the middle-aged man, he was probably Princess Vina's bodyguard.

Xu Jiujiu led Vina and the other two into the reception room.

Xu Jiujiu held Vina's hand and said with a smile, "Xiao Lin, let me introduce you. This is Princess Vina of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and also my best friend. This is Mu Xue of the Snow Demon Sect. They are representing the Snow Demon Sect in this competition."

Ji Lin nodded and said, "Princess Vina, Miss Muxue, hello."

Vina and Muxue nodded slightly and said, "Hello."

Xu Jiujiu pulled Vina and Muxue to sit on the sofa on the left, while the middle-aged man stood behind them.

After a long pause, he smiled gently at Vina and said, "Vina, this is my fiancé Ji Lin, and this is Zhang Lexuan, the vice dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy and a member of the Sea God Pavilion."

Vina looked at Ji Lin with a strange expression. As a princess of two great empires, Vina had a good relationship with Xu Jiujiu. She had long heard that Xu Jiujiu had a childhood sweetheart who was very outstanding, but she had never had the chance to meet him.

Her light green, emerald-like eyes held a hint of surprise and uncertainty as she sensed a powerful spiritual force emanating from Ji Lin.

Furthermore, its quality far surpasses hers. Her second martial soul is the main body martial soul, the Brain, which is the top-tier spiritual attribute main body martial soul. Moreover, she has already completed the Silver-level second awakening through the secret method of the Body Sect.

Even so, she could feel the difference in the quality of her mental power compared to Ji Lin's. It was obvious that Ji Lin's mental power was superior to hers. Could it be that Ji Lin also had a mental-type martial soul?

She didn't use her mental power to investigate Ji Lin's background, as that would be too impolite. However, she possessed a top-tier mental-type martial soul, making her very sensitive to mental power. She could sense Ji Lin's vast and powerful mental power without needing to probe him specifically.

Ji Lin also sensed a fluctuation of mental energy emanating from Princess Vina opposite him. However, Princess Vina did not use her mental energy to test him; it was merely a fluctuation of mental energy released instinctively under emotional fluctuations, so Ji Lin did not pay any attention to it.

At the same time, Ji Lin also noticed that there was a Super Douluo hiding in the shadows, presumably a bodyguard secretly protecting Princess Vina. Ji Lin did not deliberately point it out and pretended not to see it.

Ji Lin looked at Zhang Lexuan beside him and said softly, "Sister Lexuan, you tell us."

It was only then that Xu Jiujiu suddenly realized when Ji Lin had sat down next to Zhang Lexuan; Ji Lin wasn't sitting there before she left.

He looked at Zhang Lexuan for a long time. Although Zhang Lexuan's face was calm and expressionless, her earlobes, which still had a blush, revealed something.

The princess glared at Ji Lin with annoyance.

Zhang Lexuan, unaware that Xu Jiujiu had already noticed her unusual behavior, turned to Vina and Muxue and went straight to the point: "We invited Princess Vina here to tell you some news. According to information gathered by the elders of the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy, there is a sect of evil soul masters called the Holy Spirit Cult in the Sun Moon Empire. This sect is composed entirely of evil soul masters, including some titled Douluo-level powerhouses. Moreover, the information we have received indicates that the Holy Spirit Cult is colluding with the Sun Moon Empire. When we arrived here earlier, we discovered a team of evil soul masters registering for this year's All-Continent Youth Soul Master Competition."

"In this competition, the Sun Moon Empire suddenly changed the competition rules, which is very likely to be a huge conspiracy."

Upon hearing Zhang Lexuan's words, Vina's expression changed, but she managed to remain calm. Although the news was shocking, she wasn't overly excited. Her confidence stemmed from her strength; it was just an evil soul master organization with a titled Douluo. With a powerful sect like the Body Sect, with its long history and profound foundation, as their backing, they were not without the ability to deal with the Holy Spirit Cult.

However, upon hearing Zhang Lexuan's next sentence, she could no longer maintain her composure.

"Moreover, according to Elder Xuan's speculation, there are probably at least several Super Douluo-level evil soul masters behind this Holy Spirit Cult. Cooperation is based on the premise that both parties are of equal strength and status. If the Holy Spirit Cult does not have enough powerful people supporting it, the Sun Moon Empire, with its strength and domineering nature, will certainly not defy the world and cooperate with these evil soul masters."

Vina's expression was extremely solemn. She wasn't afraid of ordinary titled evil soul masters, but it was a different story for Super Douluo-level ones.
