Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 42 Level 40

In the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed since the new students enrolled.

Ji Lin has had a very fulfilling two months. In class, he either studies theoretical knowledge or is dragged by Zhou Yi to do physical training with the whole class.

It's worth mentioning that under Zhou Yi's strict, even obsessive, guidance, Class One of the freshmen was completely transformed. However, what shocked the academy's higher-ups was that, after more than two months of rigorous training, Class One, with Zhou Yi as their class advisor, still had 69 students remaining. This was far from the academy's estimate of only one-third of the students remaining.

After class, he would either cultivate with Wang Qiu'er or go for a walk and date with Zhang Lexuan, who came to see him. Everyone in the freshman class knew that a senior from the inner academy often came to see their class monitor. They couldn't help but sigh that the class monitor was really charming. Not only was he close to Wang Qiu'er and Wang Dong'er in the class, but many other girls in the class also had crushes on him. Now he had even won over a senior from the inner academy.

It made the other male students in the class green with envy.

During this time, Ma Xiaotao personally visited Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er to formally apologize to them.

She also discovered that Ji Lin was the sweet-talking little brother she had met once before in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Although I had some suspicions when Yan Shaozhe said that one of the two people who defeated her when she went berserk was a Soul Master with the ultimate fire attribute.

But she only realized it after meeting him in person.

The two, who hadn't taken the previous incident to heart, accepted Ma Xiaotao's apology.

Ji Lin kept calling her "Little Sister Tao," which reminded Ma Xiaotao of Ji Lin when she was only six years old.

Six years have passed, and the little kid has grown into a handsome young man whose strength has astonished Ma Xiaotao.

Her talent was already outstanding. If it weren't for the burden of the evil fire, she would have been a Soul Saint long ago, or even stronger.

But compared to Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er, she still feels a bit lacking; the two of them even defeated her in a berserk state with their martial soul fusion skill.

Also, because of Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Lexuan, Wang Qiu'er was in a bad mood for a while and repeatedly refused to cultivate with Ji Lin, which gave Ji Lin a lot of headaches.

After more than two months, and with the help of dual cultivation with Wang Qiu'er, Ji Lin finally broke through the bottleneck of level 40 and became a Soul Master.

Today was the day he asked Zhou Yi for leave so he could go hunting for his fourth spirit ring.

Looking at Ji Lin standing in front of her, Zhou Yi frowned. "You said you were going to get your fourth spirit ring. Do you know that the freshman assessment is in half a month? Only by passing the assessment can you officially become a first-year student and truly become a member of Shrek Academy. If you miss the assessment, you will be expelled from Shrek Academy."

Ji Lin replied without changing his expression, "I know, Teacher Zhou. I will be back before the freshman assessment. My teacher is already waiting for me outside Shrek City. She is a Title Douluo. I will soon return as a Soul Master to participate in the freshman assessment."

Hearing Ji Lin's explanation, Zhou Yi's expression softened a little.

"In that case, come with me. Freshmen need the approval of the Dean of Academic Affairs of the Foreign Languages ​​Department to go out on leave."

Zhou Yi led Ji Lin to the teachers' office building, to the door of the dean of teaching's office.

"Knock knock." Zhou Yi knocked on the door.

A voice quickly came from inside the door, "Please come in."

Pushing open the door, one finds a middle-aged man in his forties sitting in the dean's office. He is tall, with a fair complexion and no beard, and the word "cold" is almost etched on his face. The badge on his chest is engraved with his name and position.

Du Weilun, Dean of Studies at the School of Foreign Languages.

"Oh, it's Teacher Zhou. What brings you here?" Du Weilun asked Zhou Yi with a smile.

"Director Du, I have a student who wants to request leave to hunt for his fourth spirit ring. Please grant him/her permission."

Zhou Yi said expressionlessly.

Du Weiren didn't care about Zhou Yi's attitude. He knew that Zhou Yi was like this to everyone except Fan Yu.

He turned his gaze to Ji Lin. He knew this student; he was one of the students the academy was closely monitoring, and even the dean of the Martial Soul Department, Yan Shaozhe, valued him highly. He just hadn't expected that Ji Lin would break through to level 40 in less than three months after the freshman enrollment. He really was a little monster.

"Hello, Director Du."

Ji Lin gave a slight bow, which was the most basic etiquette towards teachers and elders.

"Yes, I've approved your application. I just hope you can come back as soon as possible before the freshman assessment."

Du Weiren nodded and quickly approved Ji Lin's application.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Ji Lin bowed slightly to Du Weilun again to express his gratitude before leaving the teachers' office with Zhou Yi.

Upon returning to the classroom, Ji Lin greeted Wang Qiu'er and the others, saying they would be back as soon as possible, before leaving Class 1 of the freshmen.

Ji Lin, after leaving Shrek Academy, met Chi Yuan, who had been waiting for him for a long time, at the East Gate. More than two months had passed, but Chi Yuan had not changed at all; he still looked serious and earnest.

Instead of immediately heading to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings, the two sped towards Star Luo City.

A few days ago, Chi Yuan received a message from Xu Jiujiu, hoping that Ji Lin could return to Xingluo City, as she had something to personally deliver to Ji Lin.

After receiving Chi Yuan's message, Ji Lin had some guesses in his mind, but he still decided to go back in person.

With a Limit Douluo traveling at full speed, the two quickly returned to Star Luo City and met Xu Jiujiu, who was waiting for him.

Upon seeing Ji Lin, Xu Jiujiu rushed over and gave Ji Lin a hug.

Holding Xu Jiujiu's delicate body in his arms and smelling the fragrance in her hair, Ji Lin was very happy. However, he missed Xu Jiujiu very much after not seeing her for more than two months.

However, business is more important, and he doesn't have much time for romance this time.

"Sister Jiu Jiu, what's the matter that you called me back so urgently? Did the teacher say you have something to give me?"

After holding him for a long time, Ji Lin asked with a relaxed expression.

After calming down, Xu Jiujiu broke free from Ji Lin's embrace and said excitedly, "Some time ago, someone sold us a level nine soul tool called the God Sealing Platform, which contains a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo."

"Initially, my elder brother planned to use this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo to set up a scheme. He intended to find an opportunity during this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament to sell the soul beast embryo to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and take the opportunity to obtain some advanced soul tools from them. Then, he would issue a bounty to attract other forces to snatch the soul beast embryo."

"Let's see if we can cause some trouble for the Sun Moon Empire and weaken it."

"However, my elder brother later abandoned this idea. Rather than selling the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, extorting some soul tools from them, and then hoping to incite others to fight for it to weaken the Sun Moon Empire, it would be better to use this soul beast embryo to strengthen our side. So my elder brother gave this soul beast embryo to me and asked me to give it to you. By fusing with this soul beast embryo, you are very likely to obtain a second martial soul. Even if you don't obtain a second martial soul, you are guaranteed to get a 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone."

"Your elder brother hopes that you will integrate it when you are completely confident, so as not to disappoint him."

After a long while, he held the ninth-level soul tool, the God-Sealing Platform, and handed it to Ji Lin.
