Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 401 Hunter and Prey

Ji Lin coldly stared at Zhang Peng's retreating figure. If Zhang Peng had continued to pester him, he wouldn't have hesitated to unleash a Heavenly Fire Calamity on the spot.

Ji Lin raised his hand and beckoned to the remaining four members of the Holy Spirit Sect.

"Referee, we can skip the individual elimination rounds and go straight to the team competition."

Zheng Zhan nodded, walked over to the Holy Spirit Sect, and asked a few questions to the people in the waiting area.

The four people stood up at the same time, and a chilling aura instantly spread towards Ji Lin, who was making a provocative gesture towards them on the competition stage.

Having obtained the Holy Spirit Sect's consent, Zheng Zhan announced: "Given that the Free Gate has forfeited the remaining individual elimination rounds, the team competition will commence in fifteen minutes."

Upon hearing this, the audience exchanged bewildered glances. The previous battle with Tang Ya had already left them puzzled, and now that Zizai Sect clearly had a significant advantage, why would they enter into a team battle? They didn't quite understand.

Only a few people saw through Ji Lin's intentions.

Vina looked at the direction she had been gazing at for a long time with a puzzled expression.

"Jiu Jiu's fiancé is really domineering. He actually wants to wipe out all the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Sect in one fell swoop. Isn't he afraid that the Holy Spirit Sect will retaliate later?"

Mu Xue didn't understand why Ji Lin wanted to start a team fight directly, but after hearing Vina's words, she immediately realized and exclaimed, "Well done, Ji Lin! So that's what he was planning. With his performance in these three matches, he might actually be able to do it."

"However, their Freedom Sect will probably face pursuit from Title Douluos of the Holy Spirit Cult next!"

Vina recalled the Crimson Douluo who, along with Dragon God Douluo Mu En, suppressed her godfather in Shrek City, and murmured, "Not necessarily. It's hard to say who the hunter is. The roles of hunter and prey can be switched at any time."

Ji Lin returned to the waiting area of ​​Zizai Gate, where Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan were already waiting for him.

Upon seeing Ji Lin return, Bei Bei anxiously stood up.

"Ji Lin, what happened to Xiao Ya? Did she fail?"

Xu Sanshi pressed down on Bei Bei's shoulder and forcibly pushed him into his seat.

"Beibei, calm down and sit down to listen to what Junior Brother Ji Lin has to say."

Ji Lin understood Bei Bei's anxiety and said in a deep voice, "I just used my mental power to awaken Senior Tang Ya's memories. She should have recovered some of her memories about Senior Bei Bei. I heard her call your name, but her body and mental sea have been eroded by an unknown evil poison from the Holy Spirit Cult. Simply awakening her memories is not enough; it will only make her suffer more. If we want to save Senior Tang Ya, the first thing we need to do is to detoxify her."

Jiang Nannan moved closer to Ji Lin, her face filled with anxiety, and said, "You mean, Xiaoya has regained consciousness? Then we should save her! Only by saving her can we detoxify her!"

Ji Lin shook his head and said, "Sister Nan Nan, don't be impulsive. The Holy Spirit Sect has brought a lot of Title Douluos this time. The one who just went on stage was a Super Douluo. Moreover, this is the territory of the Sun Moon Empire. You need to wait for an opportunity."

Beibei calmed down, gave a bitter smile, and shook his head.

"I can't let my own affairs implicate the academy. There are so many junior students who need protection this time. I can't cause any more trouble for the academy. Leaving the Sun Moon Empire safely is the most important thing. I can't ask the academy to help with Xiaoya's matter."

Ji Lin comforted her, "Senior Bei Bei, Senior Tang Ya has a very high status in the Holy Spirit Cult. She is actually safe in the Holy Spirit Cult now. I know a place with a magical herb that can cure all poisons. After rescuing Senior Tang Ya, I can go and get that herb for you."

Beibei looked at Ji Lin gratefully, "Thank you so much, junior brother Ji Lin. I'm sorry to have troubled you. If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

Xu Sanshi patted Bei Bei on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Bei Bei, you can't go to save Tang Ya alone. Call me when you need to, and I'll go with you."

"Me too, I'm coming along."

Jiang Nannan also spoke up.

"How could I be left out of this kind of thing?" That was Wang Dong'er.

"Even though I might not be of much help, count me in." That's Xiaoxiao's response.

"Well, although I'm not familiar with you, I have a grudge against evil spirit masters. If you need anything, feel free to call me." This was Nan Qiuqiu.

"I'm not good at saving people, but I'm a professional at eliminating evil spirit masters." This is Ye Guyi.

"I can also help cause trouble for the Holy Spirit Cult." This is Nana.

"Senior Tang Ya is a really nice person. My Golden Dragon Spear needs the life force of an evil soul master to nourish it." Wang Qiu'er also said that the Golden Dragon Spear needs to be fed.

"Rescuing the imprisoned princess/Tang Ya from the lair of the evil dragon/Holy Spirit Cult, what a classic plot! Interesting. Call me when it happens." Gu Yuena, for the first time ever, wanted to get involved.

Ji Lin felt that something was wrong. Why did Gu Yuena and Xue Di seem to be getting more and more alike? Not the original Xue Di, but the Xue Di after she became close with Chi Yuan. Remembering that Gu Yuena also liked to hang out with Chi Yuan, Ji Lin thought it was best not to think about it anymore and to stop here.

"Thank you! Thank you so much!"

Beibei felt a surge of warmth flow into his heart. Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan were one thing, and Wang Dong'er, Xiaoxiao, and Wang Qiu'er all knew Tang Ya, but Nan Qiuqiu and the others didn't know Tang Ya, yet they were still willing to help. He knew this was because of Ji Lin.

Beibei looked at Ji Lin, a firm belief forming in her heart: 'I've chosen this brother-in-law.'

Ji Lin's lips twitched. He felt that Bei Bei's gaze was strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was!

With the support of the Zizai Sect members, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan, Bei Bei felt much less pressure and was more confident in rescuing Tang Ya. His immediate priority was to return to Shrek Academy with the academy, then work hard to cultivate and become stronger before finding an opportunity to rescue Tang Ya. He already knew that Tang Ya was in the Holy Spirit Cult, and the Holy Spirit Cult was gradually coming to the forefront. He believed that he would find the Holy Spirit Cult's location sooner or later and rescue Tang Ya.

Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei left the waiting area.

Fifteen minutes passed in the blink of an eye. On the competition stage, when the Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan let the team members from both sides participate in the team battle take the stage.

Ji Lin stood up with six beautiful girls.

If we're talking about the most enviable contestant in this competition, it has to be Ji Lin. She's surrounded by beauties, none of whom are unattractive; they're all stunningly beautiful girls, and each one is incredibly strong.

Xu Tianran, sitting on the platform, gripped the armrests of his wheelchair tightly. He was incredibly envious! If he hadn't been crippled, his harem would be no less impressive than Ji Lin's, and perhaps even larger. With his status, what kind of beauties couldn't he find? The girls around him were just as beautiful as the girls around Ji Lin. But he could only look and not touch them; he was powerless to do so. Thinking of this, his face grew even more gloomy.

My initial mood for watching the show has completely vanished.

Ju Zi noticed the change in Xu Tianran's gaze, looked down at Ji Lin, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes, before she returned to her calm and composed demeanor.

Mingdu is now a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment. She only hopes that Ji Lin can leave the Sun Moon Empire smoothly, and preferably escape the pursuit of the Holy Spirit Cult. There is not much she can do by Xu Tianran's side.

Ji Lin and his seven companions stepped onto the competition stage, while the remaining four members of the Holy Spirit Sect also simultaneously rose to their feet and joined the competition.

The four people were of different builds, but they were all clearly male. The one walking in front was a member who had been sitting at the back in the waiting area. This person was also the tallest member of the Holy Spirit Sect.

His physique was no less impressive than that of Yu Tianlong, the previous captain of the Tianlongmen. He was equally robust and tall, and when he walked at the front, he completely obscured the other three team members.

The four of them arrived at the center of the arena and stood opposite the seven members of the Zizai Sect. Although they were two people short, these four evil soul masters were in no way inferior in terms of aura. A cold aura emanated from them, and the temperature of the entire arena seemed to drop.

"Both sides shall state their names," Zheng Zhan ordered in a deep voice.

He knew that although the team was not at full strength, this match was likely to be the most difficult team battle he had ever led.

If he were to face either of the two teams alone, he wouldn't be sure he could win, which really frustrated him as a referee.

"The Gate of Freedom, Ji Lin."

"Zizai Gate, Gu Yuena."

"Freedom Gate, Leaf Bone Robe."

"Zizai Gate, Wang Qiu'er."

"Zizai Gate, Wang Dong'er."

"Free Gate, Xiaoxiao."

"Zizai Gate, Nan Qiuqiu".

The seven men announced their names in the simplest way possible, no longer concealing their murderous aura.

On the evil spirit master's side, the tall and burly man at the front said in a deep voice, "Holy Spirit Sect, Lu Genggeng."

"Holy Spirit Sect, Yan Feng."

"The Holy Spirit Sect, Tang Dynasty."

"Holy Spirit Sect, Gu Yu."

Four people, four voices. The tall Lu Genggeng had a loud voice, which was very rare among evil soul masters. It was not eerie at all, but rather had a masculine feel to it.

Among the three people behind him, Yan Feng was a relatively normal-looking evil spirit master, but the aura he exuded was the coldest, like a cold and venomous snake.

The Tang Dynasty aura was best concealed. Judging from his aura alone, he seemed like an ordinary person. He was tall, only half a head shorter than the burly Lu Genggeng, but rather slender.

Gu Yu, on the other hand, was a short and stocky fellow. His shoulders were almost as wide as Lu Genggeng's, but his height only reached Lu Genggeng's waist.

The first impression of these four people standing there is that they are quite different.

"Both sides step back and prepare for the match," Zheng Zhan ordered in a deep voice.

Both players turned around almost simultaneously and retreated towards the edge of their own playing area.

Ji Lin's side doesn't have any tactics, nor does it need any.

On the other side, the four evil spirit masters didn't seem to be exchanging any words. They walked slowly to the other end of the arena.
