Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 74 One-on-One Duel

That white light was pure soul power emanating from him. Just a moment ago, eight soul rings appeared on his body simultaneously.

Two yellow, two purple, and four black. The strongest spirit ring configuration. That's the formidable strength of an eight-ringed Spirit Douluo!

In the assessment arena, Du Weiren, who stopped the final collision between the two sides, spoke up: "Very good, you both did very well. As freshmen, your performance has exceeded my expectations."

Du Weiren's words were filled with amazement and admiration.

Then he looked at Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu and said in a deep voice, "The outcome of that last attack was already decided; you lost."

Dai Huabin was filled with resentment, even though he had already guessed it. But when Du Weilin announced the winner, he was still unwilling to accept it.

Xiao Xiao and Huo Yuhao, who had come to Ji Lin's side, also heard Du Weilun's words. Just after Du Weilun caught Ji Lin's attack, Ji Lin had already withdrawn the Heavenly Fire Domain. So, not only Xiao Xiao and Huo Yuhao, but Cui Yajie also came to Zhu Lu's side and helped her up.

With a mischievous grin, Xiao Xiao put her hands on her hips and said to Cui Yajie, "Hey, are you still going to hit me?"

Cui Yajie glanced at Xiaoxiao, then gave Ji Lin a charming smile and said, "If Ji Lin wants, I don't mind playing with him a little longer."

She deliberately emphasized the word "just playing around".

Xiao Xiao was no longer calm. She said excitedly, "Hey, little fox, if you want to fight, I'll fight you. You don't need the class monitor to do it."

Seeing the two girls arguing, Ji Lin smiled and said to Cui Yajie, "Admit defeat."

Cui Yajie was also decisive. Seeing Ji Lin speak, she immediately said to Du Weilun, "Director Du, I admit defeat."

Du Weilin nodded slightly and announced, "The Ji Lin team has won this match."

Huo Yuhao looked at the disheveled Dai Huabin, a hint of pleasure flashing in his eyes. This was just the beginning; he would take revenge on his own sooner or later.

Thinking of this, he looked at Ji Lin gratefully. If it weren't for Ji Lin, he wouldn't even have the right to stand in front of Dai Huabin.

Ji Lin felt Huo Yuhao's gaze, patted him on the shoulder without saying anything more, and the match was over.

So the next match to decide the champion will be the final against Wang Qiu'er, an internal battle between the freshmen class.

After the morning's assessments concluded, Wang Qiu'er emerged victorious in the competition at Assessment Field No. 1, as expected.

The teachers on the viewing platform all looked at Zhou Yi with envy. Both teams that entered the finals were from Class 1 of the freshmen. No matter which side won, the champion would come from Class 1 of the freshmen. What incredible luck it was to encounter two such outstanding students.

After Ji Lin and the other two politely bowed to Du Weilun, they left the assessment area to have lunch.

He still has a match against Wang Qiu'er this afternoon. He has just used up a lot of his soul power and needs to eat something good to replenish it so that he can face Wang Qiu'er in top condition.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was time for the afternoon finals.

Ji Lin and his two companions arrived at the assessment area on time.

The assessment area was very quiet. Although it was the final round of the freshman assessment elimination competition, there were no students or spectators.

Shrek Academy's assessment system takes into account the privacy of each student's abilities as much as possible, so assessments are never made public for other students to watch.

Only participating students are allowed to watch the game.

All the students who did not participate in the assessment continued to attend classes. Therefore, this afternoon's final was actually the day with the fewest students in the assessment area.

Of course, fewer students doesn't necessarily mean fewer people. Almost all the teachers from the Foreign Languages ​​Department who weren't teaching gathered in the assessment area to watch the competition. Shrek Academy's Dean Yan Shaozhe also came to watch the competition again, and went up to the platform accompanied by Du Weilun and a group of teachers.

"Vellen, who do you think will win this match?" Yan Shaozhe asked with a smile.

Du Weilun chuckled and said, "Of course I favor Ji Lin. Although Wang Qiu'er is also an ultimate attribute Soul Master with a cultivation level of 37, she is still one ten-thousand-year Soul Ring less than Ji Lin. Her chances of defeating Ji Lin are very small."

Yan Shaozhe smiled and nodded, also believing that Ji Lin would win.

By this time, the judges had already entered the spacious assessment area. All the partitions had been removed at noon, revealing the huge assessment area.

The referee waved to both sides simultaneously, signaling them to enter the field.

However, to everyone's surprise, only Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er went up on stage.

Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Qiu'er, two of their teammates who were considered "burdens," showed no intention of going on stage.

The referee looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression. Ji Lin smiled and said to the referee, "Teacher, let's have a one-on-one match between Wang Qiu'er and me. Our victory or defeat will determine the outcome of this match."

The referee was a little embarrassed. He looked up at Yan Shaozhe's position. On the viewing platform, Yan Shaozhe was also taken aback, then smiled and shook his head, saying, "He really has a unique personality, but this is the kind of monster our Shrek Academy needs."

He nodded to the referee from a distance, agreeing to the one-on-one match.

Seeing that the dean had agreed, the referee did not hesitate any longer and said, "In that case, the final round of the freshman assessment elimination tournament shall now begin."

During lunch, Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er agreed to a one-on-one match, and Xiao Xiao and Huo Yuhao also agreed. As for Wang Qiu'er's teammates, they had no say in the matter. They were already very satisfied to have made it to the finals by relying on Wang Qiu'er.

Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er stood facing each other, a hundred meters apart, gazing at one another.

Suddenly, the two moved at the same time. Three spirit rings, one yellow and two purple, appeared on Wang Qiu'er's body, and a golden spear appeared in her hand. She stomped her foot and charged towards Ji Lin. Because the power was too great, the ground shattered and left a deep pit in the place.

Ji Lin also summoned the Heavenly Fire Judgment, and four soul rings—one yellow, two purple, and one black—appeared on the sword. He also raised his sword and charged towards Wang Qiu'er.

The two closed the distance quickly, sparks flying as their guns and swords clashed. The battle was extremely intense from the start, far beyond anything anyone could have imagined.

Each step shattered the ground, and the wind pressure generated by each swing of the spear and sword left cracks in the ground.

Wang Qiu'er brandished her golden dragon spear, transforming it into countless spear shadows that pierced towards Ji Lin, leaving afterimages with each swing of the spear.

Ji Lin gripped his sword with both hands, wielding the Heavenly Fire Greatsword to deflect Wang Qiu'er's spear attacks one by one. The clash between the spear and the sword produced a melodious metallic clang.

Xiao Xiao and Huo Yuhao, watching from below the stage, could no longer see the ultra-high-speed clash. They could only see the aftershocks from the two colliding and restraining each other.

The weapons in their hands had become afterimages; all they could see were the sparks that flew in the air when their spears and swords clashed.

Everyone watching from the sidelines was so shocked they almost forgot to breathe.

In the past, the competition between students was nothing more than a contest of soul power and soul skills. But the two people on the field were different. This was a pure collision of strength and speed, a simple contest of physical strength, swordsmanship and spearmanship.

The clash between the two provided a visual feast for everyone watching from the sidelines.
