Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 7 First Encounter

Not only Zhang Lexuan noticed the newcomers, but Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, and several other Shrek Academy students also spotted the two approaching them. Even Xuanzi, who had been eating and drinking heartily on a tree dozens of meters high, instantly appeared in front of Zhang Lexuan, facing the newcomers.

He sensed that one of the newcomers possessed an aura no less powerful than his own.

As the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, Ji Lin and Chi Yuan stopped in their tracks.

"Hello, we are from the Star Luo Empire. We mean no harm. We just smelled the aroma of food and wanted to come and have some. Don't worry, we will pay."

Ji Lin greeted him with an embarrassed expression.

This was also his and Chi Yuan's fault for being inexperienced; they forgot to bring cooking utensils and seasonings when they went out. Although they brought dry food and fruit, who would eat dry food when there was cooked food available?

Seeing that the person who spoke was just a 6-year-old child, Zhang Lexuan and the others relaxed their vigilance, while Xuanzi still looked at Chiyuan with a solemn expression.

"People from the Star Luo Empire? I had no idea the Star Luo Empire had a powerful figure like you." Xuanzi frowned as he stared at Chi Yuan.

Looking at Xuanzi's wary face, Chi Yuan smiled gently and said, "My name is Chi Yuan, and my title is Chi Yuan. I recently joined the Star Luo Empire's Hall of Worship."

"Chi Yuan! Chi Yuan Douluo, you are Chi Yuan Douluo!" Ma Xiaotao looked at Chi Yuan with a face full of surprise.

Both possessing the bloodline of the divine beast phoenix, one is the Crimson Kite and the other is the Evil Fire Phoenix; both are top-tier beast martial souls.

Ma Xiaotao had long been interested in Chi Yuan, who was also a member of the Fire Phoenix lineage.

"So it's you, Chi Yuan Douluo. Haven't you always been a loner? How did you end up joining the Star Luo Empire?" Xuan Zi also remembered who Chi Yuan was.

"I am Xuanzi, and my title is Taotie. All who come are guests. Yuexuan, please entertain our guests."

"Your Majesty, and this adorable little brother, please!"

When Zhang Lexuan heard Xuanzi speak, he quickly invited Chi Yuan and Ji Lin to Ma Xiaotao's large pot.

Looking at the soul beast meat in the pot and smelling the aroma, Ji Lin couldn't help but swallow hard. You should know that since leaving Xingluo City, Ji Lin has only eaten some dry food and fruit, and his mouth has long since lost its bird taste.

"o(*￣︶￣*)o hehe"

Seeing Ji Lin's adorable appearance, Zhang Lexuan covered her mouth and chuckled, and even the aloof Ling Luochen smiled.

Ma Xiaotao immediately prepared a bowl and chopsticks for Ji Lin, filling the small bowl in Ji Lin's hand to the brim.

"Thank you, sister. Where are you from, sister?" Ji Lin's mouth was as sweet as honey, calling her "sister" repeatedly.

"Haha, the little brother is cute too! What's your name? How old are you?"

Ma Xiaotao asked with a smile.

"Sister, my name is Ji Lin, and I'm six years old."

Ma Xiaotao was taken aback when she heard that Ji Lin was only 6 years old.

"Six years old? You're only six and you're already getting a soul ring? You have innate full soul power!" Ma Xiaotao asked in surprise.

"Mmm." Ji Lin nodded in response, her little mouth full of meat.

Seeing Ji Lin eating with grease dripping from his mouth, Ling Luochen took out a handkerchief from his storage soul tool and gently wiped the grease from the corners of Ji Lin's mouth.

"Eat slowly, there's still plenty left in the pot, don't choke." Ling Luochen looked at the adorable Ji Lin and thought of her younger brother who was the same age as Ji Lin.

Seeing Ling Luochen's gentle and considerate demeanor, Ma Xiaotao and the other students were dumbfounded, and even Zhang Lexuan looked at Ling Luochen with a face full of surprise.

This was the first time they had ever seen Ling Luochen so gentle.

Chi Yuan looked at Ji Lin, who was pretending to be young and cute, with surprise. Then she looked at the beautiful and gentle Zhang Lexuan, the hot-bodied Ma Xiaotao, and the aloof and quiet Ling Luochen, her gaze extremely strange.

"My goodness, my little piglet is only 6 years old and he already knows how to root for cabbages, and he even wants to root for three of them."

Ji Lin took the opportunity to act cute, and Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen gradually lost themselves in the repeated calls of "sister".

"The older sister's name is Zhang Lexuan, the older sister in red is Ma Xiaotao, and the white-haired older sister next to you is Ling Luochen."

"As for where we come from, we are all students of Shrek Academy."

Seeing Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen engrossed in Ji Lin's sweet words, Zhang Lexuan helplessly introduced the names of the others to Ji Lin.

This revealed their identities.

As for the others, well! Extras don't deserve names.

"Shrek Academy! I've heard that Shrek Academy is the number one academy on the continent. I want to study at Shrek Academy in the future."

Ji Lin looked at Zhang Lexuan and said.

"Okay, when you come to Shrek Academy, Xiao Lin, remember to let me know and I'll pick you up and be your guide."

Ling Luochen continued.

"Haha, if anyone bullies you at the academy, just mention Sister Xiaotao's name, and Sister Xiaotao will protect you."

Ma Xiaotao patted Ji Lin on the shoulder and laughed.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaotao, thank you, Sister Luochen, and Sister Lexuan. With these three sisters here, let's see who dares to bully me."

Ji Lin raised his little face, his expression full of excitement.

"o(*￣︶￣*)o hehe"

The three women chuckled softly in unison.

"Xiao Lin, what is your relationship with Her Majesty Chi Yuan?"

Ma Xiaotao asked curiously.

"Yes, Teacher Chi Yuan is my teacher."

Ji Lin replied while eating.

"Teacher? Xiao Lin, you are a disciple of Her Majesty Chi Yuan. Does that mean you also possess the Fire Phoenix bloodline martial soul?"

Ma Xiaotao asked with a look of surprise.

"No, my martial soul is a weapon martial soul, but it is definitely fire-type. Another bowl, please."

Ji Lin had another bowl and continued eating dry rice.

"A weapon spirit? A top-tier beast spirit owner like Crimson Kite has taken a weapon spirit owner as her disciple?"

Ma Xiaotao added a bowl of rice for Ji Lin and muttered to herself with a puzzled look on her face.

"It must be because Xiao Lin's martial soul is special, otherwise I can't imagine a beast soul master taking a weapon soul master as a disciple."

Zhang Lexuan pondered.

"Well, because I am the ultimate fire," Ji Lin said nonchalantly.

"Oh, so you're the Ultimate Flame, wait. ε=(ο｀*))) Hey, what did you say? You're the Ultimate Flame."

Ma Xiaotao suddenly realized what was happening, jumped up, and shouted loudly.

Now everyone's eyes were on them.

Xuanzi also strolled over slowly, drinking as he asked, "Xiao Tao, what are you yelling about? What 'ultimate fire'?"

"Elder Xuan, Xiao Lin said his martial soul is the ultimate fire," Ma Xiaotao immediately said to Elder Xuan.

"Pfft, (⊙o⊙)... What did you say? This child is an ultimate fire attribute soul master."

Elder Xuan spat out the wine in his mouth and asked in shock.

"Indeed, Ah Lin is indeed the possessor of the Ultimate Flame." Chi Yuan confirmed Xuan Zi's question.

Xuanzi looked at Ji Lin with delight and said gently, "Child, may I see your martial spirit?"

Ji Lin wiped his mouth and hands with Ling Luochen's handkerchief, then stretched out his right hand, and a crimson greatsword appeared in his hand. An extreme heat spread out, and the surrounding air instantly became drier.
