Douluo Continent: Starting with the Tiger Emperor Template

With Lu Ren's talent and the unique nature of his Brain Body Martial Soul, those lunatics from the Body Sect would definitely treat him like a treasure.

The only problem lies between the Body Sect and the Sun Moon Empire; a war is inevitable sooner or later.

If a conflict breaks out between the two major forces after he joins the Body Sect, his position will become very delicate.

On one side was the Body Sect, which provided him with resources and protection; on the other side were Jing Hongchen and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, who treated him well.

"This is a bit tricky."

Lu Ren sighed, suppressing this problem that he didn't need to face for the time being.

There's always a way out. There's no use thinking too much now. Let's focus on doing the things in front of us well first, and then think about how to solve this problem in the future.

He gathered his thoughts and withdrew his consciousness from the sea of ​​his mind.

Opening my eyes, the soul-guided floor lamp in the room still emitted a soft glow, and the night outside the window was deep.

Lu Ren sat cross-legged on the bed, while Electrolux began to instruct Lu Ren on how to cultivate and to work on perfecting the contents of the Soul Contract.

The night passed quietly amidst fulfilling practice and deduction.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the windows into the courtyard, gilding the bluestone pavement with a pale gold hue.

Lu Ren came out of the room, stretched his stiff neck, and headed straight for Ji Juechen's room.

Pushing open the door, Ji Juechen was sitting cross-legged on the bed, his eyes closed, a faint fluctuation of soul power swirling around him, meditating to heal his injuries.

But Lu Ren frowned after just one glance, because Ji Juechen's injuries showed almost no improvement.

The wound on his left arm, pierced by a bone spur, was still gruesome; a section of his ribs was still sunken in the chest; and the small wounds on his face were still oozing faint traces of blood.

The wounds left by evil spirit masters contain insidious evil energy that will continue to erode the wounds and hinder healing.

It takes at least ten days to half a month to fully recover from a wound caused by ordinary meditation alone.

Lu Ren didn't make a sound to disturb him. He quietly walked behind Ji Juechen, raised his right hand, and then slapped Ji Juechen on the back of the neck.

The force was precise, neither too light nor too heavy, just enough to sever the connection between consciousness and body.

Ji Juechen's body stiffened slightly, then he slumped down, completely losing consciousness.

Lu Ren reached out and supported his shoulders, laying him flat on the bed, then pried open his mouth.

He placed his right palm on Ji Juechen's chin, his five fingers slightly curled up, opening a slit in Ji Juechen's mouth, and then released the Reversal Technique.

Warm, positive energy condensed in his palm, disguised as soul power, and poured into Ji Juechen's body through his throat.

That energy traveled down the esophagus, spreading to the internal organs, and then permeating into every meridian.

A miraculous scene began to unfold.

Ji Juechen's injuries were all healed by the reversal technique.

In just a short while, Ji Juechen's severe injuries, which would have kept an ordinary Soul Master in bed for ten days or half a month, were completely healed.

Lu Ren withdrew his hand and glanced at Ji Juechen's peaceful sleeping face.

Then he took out a healing pill from his storage soul tool, pried open Ji Juechen's mouth and stuffed it in, then lifted his chin to make him swallow.

The pill slid down his throat and disappeared deep into his esophagus.

"You got hurt trying to help me, after all. As a friend, how can I just stand by and do nothing?"

After doing all this, Lu Ren clapped his hands, turned around and walked out of the room, gently closing the door behind him.

In the courtyard, Nana saw Lu Ren come out of Ji Juechen's room. She quickly went up to him and bowed respectfully.

"What are your orders, Master?"

Lu Ren looked at her, his tone indifferent:

"Have someone investigate information about the Ordinary Alliance."

Nana tilted her head slightly and carefully took notes.

Lu Ren continued to give instructions:

"I need to know the whereabouts and whereabouts of a person named Ye Guyi in the Ordinary Alliance."

Ye Guyi is a member of the Ordinary Alliance, a genius Soul Master who possesses the Holy Angel Martial Soul.

In the original timeline, she won't officially appear for a long time.

But now that he has arrived in Mingdu ahead of schedule and stirred up trouble within the Holy Spirit Cult, he might be able to find her sooner.

The Holy Angel Martial Soul is an extremely rare and top-tier Martial Soul. If we could recruit it...

"Remember to be cautious," Lu Ren added, his tone becoming more serious. "Don't be too obvious about your intention to gather intelligence. The Ordinary Alliance must have its own informants and influence in Mingdu to be able to establish itself. Don't alert them."

"Yes, Master."

Nana bowed and took her leave. She was very efficient and immediately went to make arrangements.

To increase the chances of success, she went directly to the person with the highest cultivation level among everyone present, the only Soul Emperor-level expert, and solemnly entrusted him with the task.

Throughout the day, Lu Ren stayed in his room to continue discussing the details of the soul contract with Electrolux.

He didn't emerge from his meditation until late at night.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Ji Juechen walked in. He had already changed into a clean set of clothes.

At this moment, his complexion had returned to a healthy rosy hue, and his steps were steady and powerful. He was completely different from the sword fanatic who was covered in wounds yesterday and needed help to walk.

But his expression revealed an indescribable complexity.

He walked up to Lu Ren and stopped, remained silent for a few moments, then got straight to the point:

"You knocked me unconscious and then healed my injuries? What medicine did you give me?"

Lu Ren blinked, his expression seamlessly switching from bewilderment to confusion, and then seamlessly back to innocence.

The speed at which his expression changed made Ji Juechen's eyelids twitch involuntarily.

"Who knocked you out?" Lu Ren tilted his head, his tone full of confusion. "Why didn't I use this free time to cultivate more? You know I just broke through to level 50 last night, and it's a crucial period for consolidating my cultivation. I didn't have time to knock you out."

Ji Juechen stared at his face for several breaths. The expression on that face was impeccably sincere, with clear eyes, slightly furrowed brows, and slightly pursed lips, making him look exactly like an innocent boy who had been wronged.

Ji Juechen wavered.

Could it really not be him?

"I lost consciousness this morning." Ji Juechen's voice lowered, tinged with confusion. "Then I woke up in the evening, and strangely enough, all my serious injuries had healed."

He raised his left arm and moved it in front of Lu Ren, his arm moving flexibly and without any stiffness.

"The wounds left by the evil spirit master couldn't possibly heal so quickly with ordinary healing pills. I know best what I was injured yesterday. It would take at least ten days to two weeks to fully recover. Even now, the residual medicinal power of the healing pills still lingers in my body..."

Lu Ren's expression became even more suspicious. He moved closer to Ji Juechen and looked him up and down, his gaze sweeping over his left arm, chest, and face several times.

"Yeah, now that you mention it, I also find it strange. You were so badly injured yesterday, and you're all lively and energetic today. That's just too much."

He rested his chin on his hand, looking as if he was deep in thought.

"That just means the healing medicine Nana gave you was incredibly effective. She used to be a member of the Holy Spirit Cult, so it's normal for her to have some good stuff. But this is too effective! Your ribs were caved in yesterday, and you're really okay now?"

Ji Juechen fell silent.

In the end, he gave up asking.

"No need for further examination. I know my own body; I'm completely healed."

"That's good."

Lu Ren stood up with a grin, grabbed Ji Juechen's shoulder, and dragged him outside without saying a word.

"But since you're here, why don't you come with me for a checkup? Come on, I have something new I'd like you to try out."

Ji Juechen was dragged several steps by him before he realized what was happening.

"What are you checking?"

"You'll see when you get there. Trust me, it'll be both fun and exciting."

Ji Juechen: "?"
