Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 314 Flying Dragon Rides the Face

Feeling Wang Qiu'er's icy gaze, Ji Lin awkwardly touched his nose. He had indeed reacted just now, and dodging Wang Dong'er's kiss would have been easy, but he didn't know why he couldn't move at that moment. Maybe it was his male instinct playing tricks on him! After all, why not take advantage of a free gift?

After shifting the blame to men's instincts, Ji Lin quickly said to Xiao Xiao and the other woman, "Alright, you two hurry up and refine the immortal herb. Qiu'er and I will protect you."

Wang Dong'er pursed her lips, and seeing that Wang Qiu'er did not react, she had no choice but to reluctantly pick up the eight-petaled orchid, stuff it into her mouth, chew it carefully, and swallow it.

Seeing that the atmosphere was relatively normal, Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and silently began to refine the essence pollen of the Qiluo Tulip.

It would be best to skip this. She must have been out of her mind to kiss Ji Lin in front of Qiu'er. She was so ashamed afterwards that she didn't know how to face Qiu'er. Wang Dong'er was even more outrageous. She actually provoked Qiu'er and dragged her into it. Heaven knows how much she wanted to strangle her best friend Wang Dong'er at that time. The saying "beware of fire, theft, and best friends" perfectly describes someone like Wang Dong'er.

Unbeknownst to her, Wang Qiu'er had already blacklisted both Wang Dong'er and her, making them both people she was wary of.

Time passed slowly, second by second. In the blink of an eye, three hours had passed. As the effects of the divine herbs took hold, Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er both showed varying degrees of change.

Wang Dong'er sat there quietly, but she exuded a special fragrance unique to the "Eight Offices Fairy Orchid". A faint white mist rose from her skin and swirled around her body.

Wang Dong'er was already stunningly beautiful, and her physical development was second only to Wang Qiu'er. Now, against the backdrop of the white mist, she exuded an ethereal aura, like a celestial fairy untouched by worldly concerns.

Even Ji Lin, who was used to seeing beautiful women, couldn't help but take a few more glances. At this moment, only Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena could slightly surpass Wang Dong'er, thanks to the special effect added by the immortal herb.

Xiao Xiao's transformation was exceptionally magnificent; her five spirit rings shimmered, and her entire body was bathed in a rich golden light.

The Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron and the Nine Phoenixes Arriving Flute appeared simultaneously beside her, and golden patterns began to climb onto the surface of the two weapon spirits, as if outlining a beautiful tulip.

Golden light emanated from Xiao Xiao, carrying the rich fragrance of tulips. The shimmering light made her appear like a fairy descending to earth. Each time the golden light intensified, the patterns on her two weapon spirits became clearer.

This made Xiaoxiao look even more dazzling and radiant.

The golden light emanating from Xiao Xiao and the white mist surrounding Wang Dong'er seemed to attract each other. The white mist and golden light intertwined in the air, and the fragrance emanating from the two of them also condensed together, creating an incredibly pleasant and unique aroma.

Ji Lin knew what was going on. According to the book, the eight-petaled fairy orchid that Qi Luo Tulip and Wang Dong'er ate were a pair of mandarin duck fairy herbs, just like the eight-cornered ice grass and the fiery apricot, which complemented each other.

Before anyone knew it, even Xiaoxiao had grown up. She was no longer the petite girl she used to be. Her height and figure were completely different, and even her perpetually flat chest had become upright.

She has also matured a bit and become more charming.

Soon, as the sun set, Wang Dong'er was the first to wake up from her cultivation. Because she had taken the mildest medicine, the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, she was able to refine the medicinal effects faster than Xiao Xiao.

Stretching lazily, Wang Dong'er opened her eyes as if she had just woken up. "Ah, that feels so good!"

With her movements, her ample bosom became even more eye-catching.

Wang Qiu'er glared at her and said, "Xiao Xiao is still cultivating, keep your voice down."

Wang Dong'er blinked, glanced at Xiao Xiao who was still cultivating, and knowing she was in the wrong, she quickly covered her mouth and got up from the ground.

Ji Lin carefully examined Wang Dong'er for a few moments. Needless to say, her cultivation had improved. The immortal energy that Wang Dong'er had generated when she absorbed the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid had not disappeared with the absorption and refinement of the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid. Now, she seemed to be enveloped in a layer of lustrous glow.

Her overall charm and temperament have improved to a whole new level. Of course, Wang Qiu'er is the same; she is even more charming and elegant than before she refined the immortal herb.

Not long after Wang Dong'er finished absorbing the immortal herb, Xiao Xiao also finished absorbing the medicinal effects of the Qiluo Tulip pollen. The golden light on her body had subsided, but the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron and the Nine Phoenixes Arriving Flute beside her had developed light golden patterns, which were quite beautiful.

Xiao Xiao stood up, holding the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron in her left hand and the Nine Phoenixes Arriving Flute in her right, looking like a fairy.

Ji Lin smiled and said, "Xiao Xiao, how is it? Has anything changed?"

Xiao Xiao's face lit up with excitement as she exclaimed, "My Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron has become heavier and harder. Even my soul skills have been amplified, and their power has increased significantly. The Nine Phoenix Arrival Flute's skills have also been amplified to varying degrees. In fact, my Nine Phoenix Arrival Flute can now manipulate sound waves to fight enemies. The quality of both of my martial souls has improved. I can't see any more changes for the time being."

Wang Dong'er was also a little excited. "Me too. I feel like I've been reborn. My cultivation speed has increased significantly, and even my soul power recovery speed has accelerated a lot. This will greatly shorten the time it takes to break through to the Soul Emperor realm."

Xiao Xiao nodded and said, "Me too. My soul power has increased by three levels, and my cultivation speed has increased. Originally, I wasn't confident that I could graduate with you guys, but now I'm confident that I can break through to Soul Emperor in a year, and then I can graduate with you."

Ji Lin nodded in satisfaction, and Xiao Xiao followed suit. Now, the lineup for the Zizai Sect to participate in the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament was complete.

He, Wang Qiu'er, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Nan Qiuqiu, Nana, and Ye Guyi—these seven people are enough to sweep the entire Soul Battle Tournament. Ji Lin is confident that he can break through to Soul Saint before the next All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Battle Tournament, and Ye Guyi can also break through to Soul Saint. The remaining five people, after absorbing and refining the immortal herbs, will at least be at the Soul Emperor level. The lineup of two Soul Saints and five Soul Emperors is unprecedentedly powerful. How can they lose when the Flying Dragon is charging in? His Zizai Sect has already reserved the championship in advance.

Time flies, and a year has passed since Wang Dong'er and the others refined the immortal herbs. In this year, Wang Qiu'er, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Nana and Nan Qiuqiu have all broken through to the Soul Emperor level.

Ye Guyi broke through to Soul Saint before Ji Lin, while Ji Lin was stuck at level 69, and could break through to level 70 at any time. In one year, he broke through four levels and was close to level five in cultivation. It was all thanks to the first Soul Core that accelerated his cultivation speed and the energy provided by Xue Di and others in the Holy Mark Space that Ji Lin made such rapid progress.

Of course, dual cultivation with the beauties in the harem also promoted Ji Lin's cultivation level. After all, Wang Qiu'er and Ling Luochen both had martial soul fusion skills with Ji Lin, and dual cultivation could accelerate the cultivation speed.

Meng Hongchen and Ling Luochen have also completed their martial soul evolution and successfully entered the realm of extreme ice. The two of them have also successfully broken through to the Soul Saint level. Meng Hongchen even surpassed her brother Xiao Hongchen, which made Xiao Hongchen very depressed. He kept saying, "So what if I found a man! I'm going to find a rich woman to support me in the future."

This left Meng Hongchen speechless.

When Xiao Hongchen learned that Ji Lin's cultivation had surpassed his and that she would soon break through to the Soul Saint realm, he sighed in dejection. Being surpassed by his younger sister, and even by Ji Lin who was two years younger than him, made him consider whether to take a secret medicine to break through to the Soul Saint realm, sacrificing his future to compete with Ji Lin. However, when he thought of Ji Lin's illogical combat power, he decisively abandoned this foolish idea.

Losing to my brother-in-law is nothing to be ashamed of!

With the help of the Primordial Immortal Herb, Zhang Lexuan successfully condensed her first soul core, breaking through to the Title Douluo level. She also refined a 100,000-year-old Sacred Mark prepared for her by Ji Lin. Now she is a level 91 Title Douluo. With Zhang Lexuan's talent and strength, two 100,000-year-old soul rings, plus Sacred Mark skills and a 100,000-year-old soul bone, Zhang Lexuan's combat power is no less than that of some Super Douluos.

Zhang Lexuan's breakthrough gave Shrek Academy a pleasant surprise. The same was true for Ma Xiaotao. Although she did not break through to the Title Douluo level, she was still a Soul Douluo, and her martial soul had evolved into the Ultimate Fire Phoenix. Her combat power was no less than that of a Title Douluo. Even Zhang Lexuan would have to put in a lot of effort to defeat her.

With the help of the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, Xu Jiujiu broke through to the Soul Saint level before Meng Hongchen and the others. She also refined the 100,000-year-old Starlight Deer skeleton given to her by Ji Lin, and her cultivation progressed rapidly. She was already striving to reach the Soul Douluo level.

Meanwhile, Yu Mengdi and others who joined the Zizai Sect also broke through to the Soul Saint level with the support of the Zizai Sect's resources. They were already considered to be mid-to-high-end combat forces in the Douluo Continent. Even Zhou Sichen, the Lan Susu sisters, and others broke through to the Soul King level early on and were heading towards the Soul Emperor level.

Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan also broke through to the Soul Emperor level. After inheriting Elder Mu's legacy, Bei Bei made rapid progress and her cultivation level was close to that of Soul Saint, surpassing Xu Sanshi.

Within a year, Sacred Marks had begun to spread throughout the original Douluo Three Kingdoms. Nowadays, the most common way for low-level Soul Masters to obtain Soul Rings is to purchase Sacred Marks. After all, there is a wide variety of Sacred Marks, and there is always one that suits you. Hunting Soul Beasts, on the other hand, is too uncertain, and you may not encounter the Soul Beast you want. Sacred Marks can be reserved in advance, and the Liyue Merchant Guild will make Sacred Marks according to your needs. As long as you can afford the price, even if you want an extremely rare Sacred Mark like the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, the Liyue Merchant Guild can provide it for you.

With the widespread availability of low-level Sacred Marks, very few low-level Soul Masters hunt Soul Beasts in the wild to obtain Soul Rings. Only a small number of Soul Masters rely on hunting Soul Beasts to make a living, but these Soul Masters no longer affect the balance between humans and Soul Beasts. As for specifically hunting Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Bones, that depends too much on luck. Only 100,000-year-old Soul Beasts have a 100% chance of dropping Soul Bones. Soul Beasts below 100,000 years old are all a matter of luck. No Soul Master is so foolish as to specifically try their luck by hunting Soul Beasts. How many would they have to kill? If they failed, wouldn't it be a loss?
