Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 11 Fire Element Manipulation

Star City.

In a laboratory, Ji Lin raised his head from the control panel and let out a long sigh of relief.

"It's done."

Looking at the level-one soul tool in his hand, Ji Lin was filled with frustration.

A full year has passed since I obtained my first spirit ring and was introduced to the auspicious beast attribute.

At that time, Di Tian brought a 100,000-year-old soul bone to exchange for the auspicious beast. Di Tian was so honest because he had sensed the power of Chi Yuan.

The exchange was successfully completed, and Ji Lin and Chi Yuan returned directly to the Star Luo Empire with the soul bones.

A year has passed, and Ji Lin has turned 7 years old this year.

Seven-year-old Ji Lin is now a near-Grand Soul Master of level 20. The eight-hundred-year-old Burning Sun Fire Dragon Soul Ring he obtained a year ago directly boosted Ji Lin's soul power to level 13.

With the addition of the Body Tempering Pill he obtained from his fifth treasure chest, and the boost from the Void Sword Qi, Ji Lin leveled up seven times in just one year.

It made Xu Jiujiu exclaim, "Little monster!"

The Body Tempering Pill is a fictional drug commonly found in many martial arts novels and fantasy stories, which can increase the user's physique, strength, and endurance.

During this year, Ji Lin spent most of his time cultivating and improving his soul power, and a small portion of his time studying theoretical knowledge and the knowledge of soul tool manufacturing.

Because he spent most of his time cultivating, it took Ji Lin a year to become a Level 1 Soul Master thanks to his powerful mental strength.

The person who taught Ji Lin soul guidance knowledge was a level 5 soul guide that Xu Jiujiu helped Ji Lin apply for from Xu Jiawei.

Unfortunately, the original Douluo Three Kingdoms rejected soul tools, and excellent advanced soul masters were extremely rare. Even the Star Luo Empire, which valued soul tools, didn't have many advanced soul masters, and even if they did, they had their own projects. There wasn't time to teach a child the basic theory.

It was only because of Ji Lin's talent and his teacher, Chi Yuan Douluo, that they were able to find a level 5 Soul Master.

Over the past year, Cheng Gang, the powerful Douluo who had been knocked down by Chi Yuan with a single punch, came to challenge Chi Yuan to a duel, still unconvinced. After being beaten black and blue, he never dared to provoke Chi Yuan again.

Whether it was a test or something else, after Giant Strength Douluo, Giant Hammer Douluo also came to challenge Chi Yuan, and even Shattered Star Douluo came to spar with Chi Yuan once. Of course, none of them used their full strength.

After that, no one challenged Chi Yuan again, and the Star Luo Empire even increased its resource allocation to Ji Lin.

All kinds of soul beast meat of various grades, rare and precious materials, and pills with no aftereffects are available.

Ji Lin's ability to advance 7 levels in a year is largely due to the various resources available.

It's important to know that the golden age for Soul Masters to cultivate is between 12 and 30 years old. After 30, as the body solidifies and there's less improvement in one's genes, the cultivation speed will decrease significantly. Therefore, almost all Title Douluo-level powerhouses have laid a solid foundation before the age of 30. The top powerhouses can even reach the eighth ring cultivation level before the age of 30, and some even directly become Title Douluos.

Ji Lin was able to advance 7 levels in a year before the age of 12; hard work alone wouldn't have been enough.

After that, leveling up wasn't as fast anymore, since I had already consumed all the necessary pills and rare herbs, and taking more wouldn't have the same effect as the first time.

Even the best medicines can develop resistance.

Ji Lin's treasure chest system also condensed its 7th treasure when Ji Lin was 7 years old, which was still the Feather of Crossing the Dust. Heaven knows how wonderful Ji Lin's expression was when he saw the second Feather of Crossing the Dust.

His third and seventh treasure chests both contained Feather of Crossing Dust. He used one when connecting with the auspicious beast, and now he has one left.

I wonder what the rules are for condensing this treasure chest? It keeps producing the same things.

Today is the day Chi Yuan will take him to hunt for his second spirit ring, and their destination is still the Star Dou Great Forest.

After leaving the laboratory, Ji Lin went to Chi Yuan's room and knocked on the door, saying, "Teacher Chi Yuan, I'm ready. Let's go."

Chi Yuan pushed open the door, which creaked open slowly, revealing the dim light from outside. Her face was expressionless, but a hint of a smile appeared in her eyes.

Looking at Ji Lin, who was dressed neatly at the door.

She didn't speak, but simply picked up Ji Lin, soared into the sky, and disappeared into the horizon as a streak of red light.

This time, Ji Lin learned from her previous experience and filled her storage soul tool with pots, pans, ingredients, seasonings, and all kinds of daily necessities such as a portable tent.

Ji Lin was clearly prepared for a protracted war.

But this time they were obviously very lucky. The two of them had just arrived at the mixed area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest when they discovered a fire-type soul beast with a cultivation of about three thousand years. It was a two-winged fire dragon with a cultivation of three thousand years. Like the Burning Sun Fire Dragon last time, it was a sub-dragon species. However, its bloodline was not as good as the Burning Sun Fire Dragon, but its age was high enough to make it very suitable to become Ji Lin's second soul ring.

The three-thousand-year-old sub-dragon soul beast was clearly not something Ji Lin could mess with; this time, it was Chi Yuan who made the move.

It was over in an instant. Chi Yuan's move was as swift and decisive as ever. She tore through space and appeared atop the twin-winged fire dragon's head, knocking it unconscious with a single punch and taking it away in one smooth motion.

This time, Ji Lin directly used Heavenly Fire Judgment to finish off the two-winged fire dragon, then sat coiled up and began absorbing the soul ring. This time was clearly more difficult than the first time, after all, it was a three-thousand-year soul ring. It took Ji Lin a full hour to complete the absorption.

Ji Lin summoned the Heavenly Fire Judgment, and two spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, rose and fell, looking imposing.

Suddenly, a pair of fiery wings emerged from behind Ji Lin. They shone like the fiery wings of a phoenix, radiating a dazzling light. The fiery wings flapped gently in the air, generating a wave of heat that seemed to ignite the surrounding air, creating twisting streams of heat.

These fiery wings were not only incredibly beautiful, but also contained immense power. Whenever Ji Lin flapped his wings, the flames surged, forming fiery storms.

Ji Lin flapped his wings, creating strong air currents around him, and he slowly rose into the air, as if breaking free from the constraints of gravity. As he increased in altitude, the surrounding scenery became smaller and smaller, and his heartbeat gradually synchronized with the rhythm of his wings. During this flight, Ji Lin felt an unprecedented sense of freedom and tranquility; he felt as if he had become the master of the sky, in control of his own destiny.

After flying around in the sky for a while, Ji Lin flapped his wings and slowly descended, calming his excited emotions.

Seeing Ji Lin land, Chi Yuan asked with a smile in her eyes, "Is your second soul skill a flight-type skill?"

Looking at Chi Yuan, Ji Lin awkwardly scratched his nose with his index finger.

"My second soul skill is called Fire Element Manipulation, which can enhance my control and affinity with the fire element. Just now, I used the fire element to condense a pair of wings, which not only have a flight speed comparable to a twin-winged fire dragon, but also release a fire storm forward to attack enemies and cause fire damage. Combined with my ultimate fire, the power is considerable."

"As expected of a three-thousand-year-old soul ring with true dragon bloodline, this soul skill is quite impressive," Chi Yuan praised, arms crossed.

"Now that the spirit ring has been absorbed, we should go. This two-winged fire dragon did not produce any spirit bones. I thought my luck had improved recently because we found a suitable target so quickly this time."

Looking at the dismembered two-winged fire dragon, Ji Lin was filled with helplessness.
