Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 90 New Student Enrollment

Ji Lin sat down on the spot, holding the dark gold Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's right palm bone, and mobilized his soul power to merge the soul bone with himself.

It was clear that the right palm bone melted under the influence of his soul power, turning into a pool of dark golden liquid that slowly seeped into his right hand.

The liquid formed from the right metacarpal bone of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw flowed into his palm. At first, he felt quite comfortable, as if a warm liquid was enveloping his right hand. However, this warmth quickly turned into a burning sensation. And that burning sensation gradually turned into intense heat.

Ji Lin had already experienced the pain of fusing soul bones, so this pain was nothing compared to the pain of fusing with the Snow Emperor's soul bone; he could just endure it.

Ji Lin activated the Tai Xu Sword Qi and mobilized his soul power to accelerate the fusion of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's right palm bone.

Intense pain erupted in waves in Ji Lin's right hand, but it was still bearable for him, having already experienced extreme pain.

As the fusion accelerated, his right palm had completely turned dark gold. A deep, almost endless void-like dark gold, the bones had slightly enlarged, but the increase was subtle. The bones of his five fingers widened at the top and narrowed at the bottom, somewhat resembling sharp blades. Even the surrounding muscles were constantly writhing and changing. A vast power was gradually compressed within the bones, slowly taking shape. Gradually, strange patterns began to appear on Ji Lin's palm bones.

The broad areas of the finger bones and metacarpal bones feature cloud-like patterns, while the sharper areas below exhibit triangular, sharp textures, layered upon each other, each pattern seemingly containing boundless power.

Time passed by, minute by minute.

Suddenly, five dark golden rays of light extended from Ji Lin's right palm, each about twelve inches long, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, resembling blades. The dark golden light rippled like water. The moment they appeared, the air involuntarily emitted a slight whistling sound.

His entire palm turned dark gold.

Finally, the dark golden light flowed upwards, spreading throughout the entire body.

With a slight thought, Ji Lin's sharp blade melted away like ice and snow, and his right hand returned to normal.

Wang Qiu'er came to his side and asked with concern, "You succeeded."

She had seen Ji Lin's pained expression just now, and she knew that fusing soul bones would be very painful.

Ji Lin smiled and said, "Yes, it was a success, very smoothly. Moreover, absorbing the energy of this ten-thousand-year-old dark gold dinosaur claw bear soul bone also leveled me up. I am now level forty-seven."

Wang Qiu'er said with a smile in her eyes, "That's good. Its spirit ring also helped me level up twice. I'm level 42 now. Don't let me surpass you one day."

Seeing the smile in Wang Qiu'er's eyes, Ji Lin shivered. Being surpassed by Wang Qiu'er was unacceptable; he didn't want to be locked in the basement and "trained."

If he can't even beat Wang Qiu'er, how can he build a harem and ensure harmony within it?

Wang Qiu'er had no idea that Ji Lin was thinking about all sorts of random things. Seeing his strange expression, she asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Ji Lin quickly shook his head, clearing his mind of all his chaotic thoughts, and said, "It's alright, let's hurry up and leave. We're not far from the core area. If your elders find out, it won't be so easy for us to leave."

Wang Qiu'er nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, that's true."

Ji Lin disposed of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and stored it in his storage soul tool.

The three of them sped away from the Star Dou Great Forest, heading towards Shrek Academy.

Shrek Academy.

It's that time of year again, the most important time of the year – the start of the new school year. Early in the morning, a large crowd had already gathered outside Shrek Academy. Apart from returning students, the vast majority were parents and relatives bringing their children to register for the new student entrance exam.

No matter your background or where you got the referral, if you don't pass the entrance exam, you'll have to go home.

Some senior freshmen were assisting teachers with assessments at the school gate. Don't underestimate them just because they're students; those representing Shrek Academy here all possess at least a three-ring Soul Master level cultivation. Reaching the Soul Master level signifies considerable status on the continent. The minimum graduation standard for Shrek Academy's outer court is a four-ring Soul Grandmaster. Those who don't reach the Soul Grandmaster level cannot become sixth-year students and will ultimately be eliminated during the assessment.

Twenty-eight days have passed since the holiday began, and in two more days, the new school year will start. New students are busy with entrance exams, while returning students are also busy with their own promotion exams. Only by passing these exams can they truly advance to the first year of high school. Otherwise, like the new students who failed the entrance exams, they will have to go home.

At least two-thirds of the returning students have already returned to campus. They hadn't dared to slack off during the break, and with the start of the new semester approaching, they naturally wanted to come back early to inquire about the assessment content and seek guidance from their teachers. Students with sufficient strength weren't afraid of assessments; in fact, they enjoyed them, as they allowed them to test their training progress. But for the vast majority of students, each assessment was a difficult hurdle, so how could they not seize every opportunity?

Outside Shrek Academy, Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er entered the academy hand in hand. They were wearing academy uniforms, so of course no one stopped them. The freshmen queuing for the assessment all looked at the uniforms on the two of them with envy.

I hope they can wear this uniform too.

Moreover, the two are so good-looking that they attracted a lot of attention along the way, and they've gotten used to it.

After dropping them off at Shrek City, Chi Yuan returned to her residence. She wouldn't easily enter Shrek Academy.

Starting from the Star Luo Empire, they hunted for spirit rings in the Star Dou Great Forest along the way, and then returned to Shrek Academy. It took them a total of three days.

It was only thanks to Chi Yuan leading the two of them that they were able to make it in time.

The two walked along the shore of Poseidon Lake, crossed Shrek Square, and arrived at the first-year dormitory.

In front of the dormitory, the old man was still lying on the recliner with an air of leisurely ease.

"Hello, Mr. Mu!" The two greeted him and then entered the dormitory.

A slight smile appeared on the old man's face, but he quickly returned to normal, his eyes slightly narrowed, comfortably immersed in a state of half-sleep and half-awake.

After watching Wang Qiu'er go upstairs, Ji Lin returned to his dormitory and saw Huo Yuhao sitting on the bed cultivating as soon as he opened the door.

Hearing the door open, Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and saw Ji Lin. His face lit up with joy, and he said, "Ji Lin, you're back."

Ji Lin stepped forward with a smile and gave Huo Yuhao a hug, saying, "Yuhao, when did you come back to the academy? Did you have a good holiday?"
