Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 82 Sharing

Ji Lin smiled slightly, looking at Xiao Xiao bouncing around beside him, a sense of joy welling up inside him. He asked softly, "Xiao Xiao, you seem to be having a lot of fun today."

Xiao Xiao turned around, her face beaming with a bright smile, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She exclaimed excitedly, "Of course I'm happy! After all, we won the freshman assessment championship, and I even got a soul bone—it's a soul bone!"

Then she suddenly remembered something, her smile vanished, and she asked with concern, "I'm just a little worried about Huo Yuhao. I wonder if he'll be able to come to his senses?"

Ji Lin comforted him, "You don't need to worry about that. Yuhao isn't that fragile. Besides, the Soul Guidance Department has already set its sights on him. He's not going to be a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao finally felt relieved, and a smile returned to her face.

The two continued walking and soon arrived at the dormitory building. Ji Lin said to Xiao Xiao, "Alright, Xiao Xiao, you go back to your dormitory first. While you're at it, call Wang Qiu'er for me; I need to talk to her about something."

Xiao Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, class monitor, I'll go and call Wang Qiu'er down right now."

Ji Lin smiled and said goodbye to Xiao Xiao, then waited for Wang Qiu'er at the dormitory entrance.

Soon Wang Qiu'er appeared at the dormitory entrance and came to Ji Lin.

Ji Lin smiled slightly and greeted Wang Qiu'er: "Qiu'er, you're here. I need to talk to you about something."

Wang Qiu'er nodded and replied, "Perfect timing, I also have something to ask you."

Ji Lin looked around. Passing students looked at the two of them curiously. They were now celebrities among the freshmen, captains of the freshman assessment champions and runners-up, attracting a lot of attention.

Ji Lin said to Wang Qiu'er, "This isn't a good place to talk. Let's go for a stroll by the Sea God Lake."

Wang Qiu'er nodded and said, "Okay."

She is very economical with words, which is very much her style.

Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er walked out of the dormitory building side by side, heading towards the Sea God Lake. The surrounding students cast envious glances, knowing that these two were among the best of the freshmen, not only powerful but also core disciples.

The two arrived at the lakeside and found a quiet spot to sit. Ji Lin looked at the shimmering surface of the lake, took a deep breath, and said, "Qiu'er, I think you must have many questions."

Wang Qiu'er glanced at Ji Lin indifferently and said, "I do have many questions for you, but will you really tell me?"

Ji Lin smiled faintly and said, "Qiu'er, because of what happened a few years ago, you understand me very well, and conversely, I understand you very well too. What you want to ask about is my second martial soul and the origin of that 700,000-year soul ring, right?"

Ji Lin looked into Wang Qiu'er's eyes, reached out and took her hand, and said earnestly, "If it's you, I'm willing to share my secret. I also believe you won't expose my secret."

Wang Qiu'er tried to break free from Ji Lin's grasp, but seeing that Ji Lin had no intention of letting go, she sighed helplessly and said, "Then I won't ask anymore. Since it's your secret, you don't need to tell me."

When Ji Lin heard Wang Qiu'er say this, he felt a little guilty. He had many secrets, some of which he did not intend to tell anyone.

But some secrets can be shared, and he believed that Wang Qiu'er would keep them a secret for him.

Ji Lin held Wang Qiu'er's hand and said with a smile, "It's alright, Qiu'er, I believe in you."

He didn't give Wang Qiu'er a chance to speak, and said to himself, "My second martial soul is the Ice and Snow Maiden. You should have guessed it. That's right, it's the Snow Empress, the leader of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, who has nearly 700,000 years of cultivation. My soul ring is also hers."

He looked at Wang Qiu'er, whose expression was calm. Wang Qiu'er, clearly having already guessed, continued, "The reason I obtained the Snow Empress was because when she used a rare and precious material to transform, she unfortunately encountered a level nine Soul Master from the Sun Moon Continent. That level nine Soul Master took advantage of her vulnerability and sealed her into a level nine Soul Tool. Ultimately, it fell into the hands of the Star Luo Empire. You know my relationship with the Star Luo Empire, so this Soul Tool that sealed the Snow Empress ended up in my possession. Afterwards, I made a deal with the Snow Empress: she willingly merged with me to become my second Martial Soul, and I would help her retain her consciousness and intelligence, allowing her to live on in another form."

Wang Qiu'er said, "So that's how it is. No wonder you were able to safely absorb the 700,000-year soul ring without exploding and dying. It turns out that the Snow Empress took the initiative to merge with you and help you absorb her own soul ring, which is why you were able to successfully merge with her."

She actually had other questions, but she wasn't going to delve into them further.

But Ji Lin was not prepared to end it there.

He continued, "Then Qiu'er, you should know Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, right?"

Wang Qiu'er suddenly turned to look at Ji Lin and said, "How do you know about that useless big bug?"

Ji Lin was somewhat amused and exasperated. He hadn't expected Wang Qiu'er to react this way. Fortunately, he usually used the Taixu Sword Qi to shield his spiritual sea, and the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was mostly asleep. Otherwise, if Brother Tianmeng heard Qiu'er call him a useless big worm, he would be furious.

Ji Lin looked helplessly at Wang Qiu'er and said, "He is currently sleeping in my spiritual sea. You should know that he has escaped from the Star Dou Great Forest. After escaping the Star Dou Great Forest, he met me and merged with me, becoming my Wisdom Soul Ring and providing me with a blank second Martial Soul. This is the real reason why I was able to merge with the Snow Emperor Martial Soul."

Ji Lin explained to Wang Qiu'er the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's god-making plan, and how they persuaded the Snow Emperor to merge with him.

Wang Qiu'er suddenly realized and said, "So, they want to help you become a god and gain eternal life with you."

After Ji Lin's explanation, all her doubts were resolved. No wonder Ji Lin was different from the one she remembered. It turned out that he had encountered that useless giant worm, obtained a second martial soul, and then fused with the Snow Emperor.

At the same time, her heart was also stirred. Ji Lin had told her such an important secret, which meant that Ji Lin trusted her very much.

Thinking of this, she felt very happy, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, with a smile on her face.

Ji Lin trusted her so much, so she had to reciprocate that trust. She knew that Di Tian and the others had been searching for the giant insect, but she wasn't going to tell them. She wanted to help Ji Lin keep this a secret. She wasn't going to tell anyone.

The core area of ​​the Starry Sky Forest.

Di Tian stood beside the Lake of Life, gazing at the distant horizon with a worried expression. Bi Ji slowly approached him and whispered, "I was thinking about the auspicious beast."

Di Tian slowly closed his eyes and whispered, "The auspicious beast has been gone for some time now. I wonder if she's suffered any injustice in the human world."

For Di Tian, ​​who raised the auspicious beast as his own daughter, the fact that his beloved daughter had run away from home and there had been no news of her since was a source of great concern. Although he knew that she was not in any immediate danger, he was still worried about whether she would suffer any injustice outside.
