Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment

"Greetings, Your Majesty, and greetings, Your Excellencies." Coming back to his senses, Zhang Wei looked at Xu Jiawei and the several consecrated elders beside him, then hurried forward and dropped to one knee in salute.

"Rise. Tell me truthfully what happened here," Xu Jiawei said, raising a hand.

Xu Jiujiu finally snapped out of it as well and hurriedly stepped forward to explain, "Brother, it was the aura released when Little Lin awakened his martial soul. No one else came here."

"How is that possible? What kind of martial soul awakening could release such an aura? That aura that seemed to destroy and ravage everything... I thought a Fierce Beast from the Star Dou Great Forest had come to wreak havoc in Star Luo City." Great Strength Douluo Cheng Gang, a level 91 Titled Douluo, spoke with a look of astonishment.

"Enough, Great Strength. Let Jiujiu explain. I believe this child would not make groundless claims," Medicine Immortal Douluo Wang Xian'er, a level 95 Super Douluo, said kindly.

"Seeing is believing. Little Lin, come here." Xu Jiujiu beckoned to Ji Lin.

Holding his greatsword, Ji Lin hurried forward and bowed slightly. "Greetings, Your Majesty, and greetings, Your Excellencies."

"Little Ji Lin, there is no need for such formalities. Is that the martial soul you awakened in your hand? It does not look like your father's Crimson Flame Sword."

Xu Jiawei raised a hand to indicate that Ji Lin need not stand on ceremony, then asked in surprise.

"Yes, Your Majesty. My martial soul is not the Crimson Flame Sword, but this greatsword. It is called Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment, and it mutated from the Crimson Flame Sword."

As he spoke, Ji Lin raised Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment in his hand and poured soul power into it. Crimson flames surged up along the blade, transforming it into a three-meter-long flaming sword. It radiated an aura of destruction and extreme heat, warping even the air slightly beneath its searing temperature.

"Moreover, my martial soul is Ultimate Fire, an ultimate martial soul."

"Ultimate Fire!"

Everyone present stared at the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment in Ji Lin's hand in shock. Ultimate-attribute soul masters had only appeared three times in the continent's history, and all of them had come from Shrek Academy: Ultimate Fire, Ultimate Wind, and Ultimate Wood. Each had become Master of Sea God's Pavilion and led Shrek Academy to its peak. Among them, the Master of Sea God's Pavilion with Ultimate Fire had even led the three great empires to defeat the Sun Moon Empire, unifying the two continents under the name Douluo Continent and leaving a vivid mark in the history books.

This showed just how extraordinary ultimate-attribute soul masters were.

"The temperature of those flames indeed surpasses every fire-element soul master I have ever seen. Even ordinary fire-element Titled Douluo cannot match Little Ji Lin's Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment in terms of flame temperature alone."

Shattered Star Douluo, a level 96 Super Douluo, praised him with a broad smile.

As a level 96 Super Douluo, Shattered Star Douluo ranked at least among the top five in the Star Luo Empire and was one of the Star Luo imperial family's strongest Titled Douluo. With his experience, he could naturally tell that Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment was indeed an ultimate martial soul.

"Excellent! Heaven truly blesses our Star Luo Empire. The Sun Moon Empire has grown increasingly unwilling to remain peaceful in recent years. The Soul Tools produced by Mingde Hall have also become more and more alarming. At this time when Douluo Continent is on the verge of turmoil, Heaven's Will has sent our Star Luo Empire a soul master of Ultimate Fire. When Little Ji Lin grows up, I believe he will surely protect the Star Luo Empire from the Sun Moon Empire's aggression."

Xu Jiawei clenched his fists in excitement, as though he had finally let out a long breath. For all these years, the pressure he had borne was immense. The Sun Moon Empire was stirring restlessly, and the Soul Tools invented by Mingde Hall were growing ever stronger. Meanwhile, the original three nations of Douluo Continent had always rejected Soul Tools and looked down on Soul Engineers, including Shrek Academy. Under Xu Jiawei's leadership, the Star Luo Empire had vigorously developed Soul Tools, but the conservative faction of pure soul masters that rejected Soul Tools still existed, causing many problems for Xu Jiawei's reforms. Soul Tool research had also hit a bottleneck, leaving them utterly unable to keep pace with the Sun Moon Empire. The Star Luo Empire bordered the Sun Moon Empire, after all. If the Sun Moon Empire made a move, the Star Luo Empire would bear the brunt of it.

Xu Jiawei had originally intended to win over Shrek Academy and other forces to resist the Sun Moon Empire together, but Ji Lin's appearance gave him more options. As long as Ji Lin grew up, the Star Luo Empire would have a greater say.

"Oh, right, Brother. Little Lin has not tested his soul power yet. The ceremony is not over," Xu Jiujiu suddenly said.

"Yes, yes, test his soul power. Zhang Wei, continue testing our little genius's soul power," Xu Jiawei said hurriedly after calming down.

"Barring any surprises, it should be Innate Full Soul Power," Shattered Star Douluo said confidently.

Everyone present already knew the answer. An ultimate martial soul would certainly come with Innate Full Soul Power.

Zhang Wei stretched out his hand, and a transparent crystal ball appeared in his palm. He then slowly walked over to Ji Lin.

"Young Master Ji Lin, just place your hand on it and channel your soul power into it."

After hearing this, Ji Lin directly placed his hand on the crystal ball in Zhang Wei's hand and poured his soul power into it.

Just as expected, the crystal ball used to test Innate Soul Power erupted with a dazzling white light.

Everyone immediately understood.

It really was Innate Full Soul Power.

Ji Lin was also quite satisfied. Leaving aside the soul power brought by his ultimate martial soul, over the years since being brought back to Star Luo City, the Spirit Beast Meat that supplemented his nutrition and improved his physical condition, along with the specially prepared nutritional meals made by the nutritionist assigned to him by the Star Luo imperial family, had made six-year-old Ji Lin far stronger physically than children his age from ordinary families. Combined with a Cultivation Method he had obtained when he was two, he estimated that, given his current physique, absorbing an eight-hundred-year soul ring as his first soul ring should not be a problem.

In truth, Ji Lin had held something back. He had only mentioned that his martial soul was Ultimate Fire, concealing Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment's second attribute: Ultimate Destruction.

It was not that Ji Lin did not trust Xu Jiujiu and Xu Jiawei. During his years in Star Luo City, he had seen and remembered Xu Jiujiu's care and favoritism. Xu Jiawei had not treated him poorly either. In food, clothing, housing, and travel, he was second only to Xu Jiujiu and the other direct descendants of the Star Crown Sect. The maids and guards also treated him with utmost respect, never acting one way in public and another in private because of his young age. He believed Xu Jiawei must have given orders beforehand for him, an orphan from a collateral branch of the Star Crown Sect, to receive such good treatment. Of course, Xu Jiujiu had also played a crucial role in it all.

"Wonderful! Innate Full Soul Power!" Xu Jiujiu cried happily, jumping up and rubbing her face all over Ji Lin's little face as she hugged him.

"From now on, Sister Jiujiu will be relying on you to protect her, Little Lin. You must cultivate diligently and not be lazy. Otherwise, if someone bullies Sister Jiujiu in the future, there will be no one to help Sister Jiujiu get even." Holding Ji Lin by the shoulders, Xu Jiujiu gave him a solemn warning.

"I understand, Sister Jiujiu. I will not let anyone bully you." He knew Xu Jiujiu was afraid that his overwhelming talent would make him arrogant and cause him to neglect his cultivation. In Xu Jiujiu's eyes, he was only a six-year-old child who had yet to grow sensible.

"Hahaha!"

Xu Jiawei, Medicine Immortal Douluo, and the others exchanged glances, then laughed in unison.
