Douluo Continent: A Man of Unparalleled Talent and Heaven-Defying Comprehension

Chapter 168 Ji Juechen (Please subscribe!!!)

Ji Juechen's appearance can be described as handsome. Except for his eyes, which lacked luster and appeared somewhat dull, his appearance was absolutely top-notch.

He held a sword in his hand, about four feet long, entirely black. The sword had a simple and unremarkable design, and even looked somewhat like a fire poker.

But the first time you see him, you get a chill down your spine.

Zhou Xinghao, who had been unparalleled in the previous season, felt a strong sense of threat.

Before joining the team, he had studied and cultivated at the academy, so how could he not have heard of Ji Juechen's name? Today, he was about to face Ji Juechen in a battle, and the pressure on him was immense.

"Ji Juechen!"

"Zhou Xinghao".

"The match begins!"

Zhou Xinghao completed the battle armor fusion immediately, and at the same time, a large number of soul-guided cannon lights appeared all over his body.

The soul-guided cannons were connected to various parts of Zhou Xinghao's battle armor.

Boom boom boom!

In an instant, level-six soul-guided cannonballs poured out as if they were free.

Ji Juechen moved slowly, but he always managed to time the cannonballs perfectly, dodging them in advance. He swung his longsword, unleashing sword energy to shatter the cannonballs that he couldn't avoid.

Su Yu found Ji Juechen's state quite peculiar.

"This Ji Juechen is no ordinary person."

Even Electrolux offered his opinion.

Apart from the support of soul power, Ji Juechen has not even used his soul master abilities at all.

No, it should be said that he didn't rely on the Martial Soul itself much.

His soul skills are all soul power amplification.

This soul skill has only one ability: to enhance the quality of his soul power and increase the total amount of soul power.

With his self-created sword skills, no student at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy could rival him.

Ji Juechen cultivated all his soul power himself. His innate soul power was only level three, but at the age of twenty-seven, he raised his cultivation to the Soul Emperor level without relying on any external aids.

Aside from Su Yu and Huo Yuhao, Ji Juechen is definitely the most outrageous Soul Master with innate Soul Power Level 3.

Su Yu also carefully observed the battle, staring intently at Ji Juechen's every move.

"This is sword intent."

Electrolux said.

"His understanding of the sword has reached a level where he can directly mobilize the power of heaven and earth."

When one's spiritual power merges with the heavens and earth, it is as if one enters a state of oneness with the universe, using the power of the heavens and earth to perceive, defend, and kill enemies.

This kind of artistic conception is something Su Yu does not possess.

Su Yu can at most control the surrounding space with runes or mental power, which is enough, but he cannot do it by relying solely on his own will.

"Amazing," Su Yu said involuntarily.

Electrolux continued to explain to Su Yu the cultivation of artistic conception.

A flood of insights flickered in Su Yu's mind, and the "sword" rune in his spiritual sea continued to improve and pulsate.

As Ji Juechen swung his sword, he sensed a peculiar fluctuation. He glanced towards the preparation area, and that glance felt like that of a hunter who had found his prey while aimlessly hunting.

Huo Yuhao was also watching Ji Juechen's battle and was quite amazed by Ji Juechen's abilities.

"How exactly did they do that?"

Ji Juechen's movements seemed much slower, and his sword techniques were very simple, but he was always able to unleash tremendous power.

With a burst of sword energy, it was even more outrageous than Brother Yu's.

With the same quality and quantity of soul power, Brother Yu's sword energy doesn't seem to pose as much of a threat as Ji Juechen's.

Huo Yuhao silently compared the two in his mind.

At the same time, his ability to detect mental activity allowed him to better perceive Ji Juechen's every move, but precisely because of this, he was even more confused about how Ji Juechen managed to do it.

I can see and understand his every move clearly, and I can even completely recreate it, but I can never reach his level.

"His spirit has merged with heaven and earth."

"Mental strength?"

"It's your mind or your will," Ice Emperor corrected Huo Yuhao, explaining his own feelings to him.

As a ferocious beast with 400,000 years of cultivation, Ice Emperor has a lot to say on this matter.

Although she didn't understand Ji Juechen's artistic conception at all, she had an intuition that allowed her to perceive some key aspects of Ji Juechen's state.

Harmony between man and nature?

Huo Yuhao remembered that when he was cultivating the Xuan Tian Gong, the Xuan Tian Bao Lu recorded a state similar to the unity of heaven and man.

Heaven and earth are at my disposal.

Zhou Xinghao transformed into a cannon turret. In his combined battle armor state, coupled with a large number of level-six soul-guided cannons, even a Soul Saint would find it difficult to break through his firepower.

However, after a three-minute stalemate, Ji Juechen suddenly drew his sword.

On the meteorite iron in his hand, which resembled a fire poker, a phantom of a long sword was attached, and at the same time, six soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and two black—floated out from under Ji Juechen's feet.

All six spirit rings flashed simultaneously.

Soul power erupts.

Ji Juechen held a long sword, his entire being incredibly sharp, and swiftly unleashed a sword strike.

The soul-guided cannon in front of Zhou Xinghao was destroyed by the sword energy, and at the same time, the soul-guided shield generated by the battle armor also shattered.

Just as he was about to channel his soul power to re-form the protective shield, Ji Juechen unleashed another sword strike.

This sword strike contained an even greater amount of soul power.

Zhou Xinghao felt himself locked in by the sword energy, unable to escape, and could only face it head-on.

However, this sword strike also brought him a fatal crisis.

In the end, Jing Hongchen intervened and saved Zhou Xinghao.

However, the sword energy that had just been there dissipated and vanished as it continued to advance.

"You've become even more terrifying." Zhou Xinghao looked at Ji Juechen, showing no sign of defeat.

This guy is a real psychopath.

I never expected that even with the enhancement of my battle armor, I still couldn't defeat Ji Juechen.

A chief is a chief.

Jing Hongchen was also very satisfied with Ji Juechen's performance and nodded at him.

The reason why Juechen was able to enter the academy and Mingde Hall this season was because Jing Hongchen personally approved it on a special basis.

Zhou Xinghao returned to the preparation area and began to recover his form.

Ji Juechen's appearance was like a beacon of light in the eyes of the teachers and students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

After challenging Zhou Xinghao, Ji Juechen continued to challenge the remaining two.

To ensure fairness, Jing Hongchen gave Ji Juechen an hour to rest.

An hour later, Xiao Ping was defeated.

Another hour later, Shixing was defeated.

Jing Hongchen was also quite satisfied with Ji Juechen's performance.

It's such a pity that Ji Juechen is already twenty-seven years old. Otherwise, with such strength, he would be a complete shoo-in in the Soul Battle Tournament and wouldn't even need a battle armor.

He cultivated from a level three innate soul power to the current Soul Emperor without taking any medicine along the way. This also means that apart from the addition of soul rings, his martial soul itself has not been strengthened even once.

This actually indirectly verifies Su Yu's theory.

If a weak martial soul finds a suitable direction and perseveres in exploring its characteristics, then at least the quality of the martial soul can be improved with the absorption of each soul ring to ensure its continued cultivation.

Of course, Ji Juechen's example also involves complex elements like sword intent, so its persuasiveness is certainly not very strong.

"Yuhao, it's your turn."

Jing Hongchen selected the next person to deal with Ji Juechen.

The original plan was to hand over any enemies that Xiao Ping and his two companions couldn't handle to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao also began to focus on preparing for the battle.

An hour later, Huo Yuhao faced off against Ji Juechen.
