Lin Bai's Sword Intent, and a Contest of Swords with Ji Juechen!

On the Douluo Continent, the Sky Screen had opened once again.

In the great hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Sword Douluo Chen Xin gazed at the two young men on the Sky Screen, facing each other from dozens of meters apart. Chilling sword intent filled his eyes.

Chen Xin saw it at almost a single glance.

Both the young man on the arena and Lin Bai below possessed extraordinary talent in the way of the sword.

Now, two geniuses of the sword had come face to face. Their sword intents rubbed against each other, sending sparks flying!

A great battle was likely about to begin!

Beside him, Bone Douluo Gu Rong clicked his tongue in amazement.

"This kid Lin Bai usually looks so lazy and carefree. Who would've thought he was hiding so much!"

"Old Sword, even when you were young, your sword intent wasn't as pure as his, was it?"

Ning Fengzhi also spoke up, nodding with a smile.

"How could someone who researched something as complicated as a Soul Guidance Computer and persuaded Jing Hongchen, the master of Illustrious Virtue Hall, until he was utterly convinced, truly be ordinary?"

"To play the pig and eat the tiger, you can't actually be a pig!"

At Shrek Academy, Flender, Zhao Wuji and Yu Xiaogang were also looking toward the Sky Screen.

"What a pity. If we could have brought a genius like Lin Bai into Shrek Academy, he would surely have become our golden signboard!"

Flender shook his head regretfully.

Although quite a few people had applied yesterday and today, not many had passed the entrance test.

Even so, Shrek Academy, which had originally had more teachers than students, now had dozens of new students.

The application fees and tuition alone had brought in a full eighty thousand Gold Soul Coins!

Yu Xiaogang now completely believed Flender. Presumably, they would soon be able to pay back the money borrowed in Suotuo City.

What a pity. If I could also take on a disciple with Twin Martial Souls like this Lin Bai, wouldn't I be even better able to carry my theories to greater heights?

Yu Xiaogang took a fierce bite of the flatbread in his hand, feeling somewhat indignant.

At that moment, Zhao Wuji excitedly pointed toward the Sky Screen.

"Look, they're about to fight!"

On the battle arena.

Ever since Lin Bai appeared, Ji Juechen's gaze had been fixed firmly on him.

Yet he still had an opponent on the arena, someone who had come to challenge him for his position as the chief of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

When this opponent saw that Ji Juechen would not even look him in the eye, instead focusing all his attention on a delicate-looking little boy-

He exploded!

"Ji Juechen, even if you're the chief, you can't look down on people like this!"

"Since you're so full of yourself, have a taste of my newly developed Thunderclap Cannon!"

Feeling insulted, he immediately took component after component out of his Storage Soul Tool and swiftly assembled them.

He had prepared a large number of Soul Tool Shields for defense, to keep Ji Juechen from disrupting him while he assembled the Soul Cannon.

But Ji Juechen remained motionless, still refusing to look him in the eye.

"To think you'd humiliate me like this!"

"Ji Juechen, your position as chief is mine!"

In just three breaths, an enormous Soul Cannon was fully assembled.

Dense Soul Guidance formation patterns covered its barrel. A blue sphere of light gathered at its muzzle, with countless fierce-looking serpents of lightning slithering over it.

"Fire!"

With an angry roar, a bolt of blue lightning shot straight at Ji Juechen like divine punishment descending upon the world.

But to everyone's surprise, swift as the lightning was, Ji Juechen was faster!

The sword of meteoric iron in his hand, black as ink, swept up at an angle, and a flash of gray-black sword light streaked past.

The blue lightning was cleaved in two by a single stroke, and a terrifying explosion instantly engulfed the entire arena.

One sword stroke cleaved the lightning!

When the flames of the explosion vanished, Ji Juechen stood with his meteoric iron sword in hand, its edge already resting against his opponent's neck.

The sharp sword Qi had cut his opponent's skin, and a trickle of blood dripped along the blade.

"You've lost."

There was not the slightest fluctuation in Ji Juechen's voice, as if defeating this opponent were a matter of no consequence.

The next instant, his gaze returned to Lin Bai below.

"You possess very strong sword intent!"

"Come up here and let me see your sword!"

At that moment, Qian Renxue and Huo Yutong also turned around in the spectator stands.

"Brother!"

"Brother Xiao Bai!"

Under the envious gazes of the male creatures around them, the two breathtakingly beautiful girls rushed over and hung onto Lin Bai.

Even Meng Hongchen was studying Lin Bai closely, trying to see whether there was still a free spot on him.

Of course, Young Lady Meng would never think she was being lovestruck. She merely thought hanging onto him like that seemed comfortable.

Ju Zi and Keke, standing nearby, were dumbstruck as well.

"Wow, Ju Zi, this junior really is... spreading his affection evenly."

"Who would've thought he had two such pretty younger sisters? No wonder he's so good at pleasing girls!"

Qian Renxue and Huo Yutong also noticed Ju Zi and Keke, and wary looks immediately appeared on their faces.

"Brother Xiao Bai, who are these two?"

Lin Bai helplessly introduced them to each other.

When they heard about the skincare knowledge Lin Bai had explained, the girls immediately began chattering among themselves.

On the arena, Ji Juechen's opponent grinned as he applied medicine to stop the bleeding on his neck, wincing all the while.

"The wheel of heaven really does turn!"

"Ji Juechen, now you know how much it hurts to be ignored, don't you?"

Yet despite his provocation, Ji Juechen still did not get angry.

Or rather, his sword heart was pure and deathly still; he had already lost the emotion of anger.

The next instant, a vast sword intent suddenly burst forth from him.

Cold and deathly still, it swept straight toward Lin Bai like a gray-white world devouring everything in existence.

"Clang!"

A sword rang out like a dragon's cry, and a longsword as black as ink likewise appeared in Lin Bai's hand.

The Ruthless Sword!

Immediately afterward, a killing sword intent, equally vast and boundless and as terrifying as a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, suddenly surged wildly from Lin Bai.

If Ji Juechen's sword intent was pure deathly stillness, then Lin Bai's sword intent was slaughter taken to its extreme!

The two evenly matched sword intents clashed head-on, and everyone present saw an illusion in that instant.

Before their eyes, it was as though two people were constantly striking their longswords against each other, sparks flying!

"Come up here and fight me!"

A trace of fervor welled up in Ji Juechen's previously deathly still eyes.

Someone who could clash sword intents with him without falling at all behind was an opponent unlike any he had encountered in his life!

Lin Bai, however, helplessly spread his hands and pointed to the four Soul Rings on Ji Juechen, two yellow and two purple.

"You're a Soul Ancestor challenging a freshman like me. Isn't that bullying?"

Ji Juechen nodded and said,

"Today, you and I will purely exchange pointers in the way of the sword. There's no need to use Soul Skills!"

"In that case, it would be impolite to refuse!"
