"Good punch!"
With no time to make any other response, Ji Juechen could only draw his sword to block. However, in an instant, he seemed to have completely merged with the sword. A powerful protective sword aura swirled around his body, and the look in his eyes became more and more excited.
Xu Tianxi felt that he had punched a titanium alloy steel plate. The huge recoil force was transmitted to his wrist, and the sharp sword intent pierced the soul power of the hand guard. The pain made his brows frown. He retreated more than ten steps before he resolved the terrifying sword energy, and his right arm felt numb.
At the same time, Ji Juechen, who had endured the explosive punch, was not feeling well either. His body was blown away like a cannonball, leaving a mark of dozens of meters on the ground before he stabilized his body by inserting his sword into the ground. Blood gushed out from the palm of his hand holding the sword, and his face turned red.
However, he seemed unaware of the intense pain, but became more and more excited. He shouted "Come again", then supported his body with the help of his sword and swung out several gray sword auras.
Xu Tianxi secretly said "As expected of a sword maniac", his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his body was filled with blue and green light. He chopped out with his palms that combined thunder and sunrise wind, which exploded with loud sounds.
When he absorbed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger soul ring, just like when he absorbed the Silver Demon Whale soul ring, he gained the powerful elemental power of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, the thunder element was enhanced, and he also gained a portion of the wind element.
Xu Tianxi had many ideas about elemental power, but most of them were still at the conceptual level and lacked sufficient practice. At this time, he could use the sword maniac as a whetstone to hone the new elements he had mastered.
Fighting is the best teacher!
…
A few hundred meters outside the dormitory building, Xuan Ziwen came with a female student. A hint of helplessness appeared in his eyes as he looked at Xu Tianxi and Ji Juechen.
When he came to see Xu Tianxi yesterday, Ji Juechen said that Xu Tianxi had not rested enough; when he came to see Xu Tianxi today, the two of them started fighting together.
Judging from the sword energy soaring into the sky and the thunder and wind rolling between the two people, people who know them can see that they are sparring with each other, while people who don't know them might think that these two students are fighting a life-and-death battle.
"Ji Juechen is too crazy this time. Tianxi should not suffer new injuries on top of his old ones..."
Xuan Ziwen stared at Ji Juechen and cursed him secretly, feeling worried, but he did not interrupt them.
Kong Deming specifically reminded him that he should not use traditional soul guide thinking when training Xu Tianxi, but should give him the greatest room for development and encourage him to make progress in both the soul master and soul guide paths.
Although SwordJi is crazy, he is also the unshakable chief disciple of the Soul Guidance Department. He is indeed a good opponent, and Xuan Ziwen is not easy to stop him.
Standing behind Xuan Ziwen, the female student wearing thin-framed glasses seemed to be seeing the battle between Xu Tianxi and Ji Juechen for the first time. The scene of the fourth ring fighting the sixth ring made her look surprised. She wiped her eyes and asked:
"Teacher Xuan, isn't Junior Brother Kong the number one soul guide genius in our Sun Moon Empire over the past thousand years, known for his ability to hit the target with his two guns? How come he can fight Ji Juechen without using any soul guides…"
Xuan Ziwen looked back at Orange, waved his hand and said in a relaxed tone:
"You don't know that Tianxi is a genius who is both a soul master and a soul mentor. He just keeps a low profile and rarely shows his true strength in front of others."
After that, Xuan Ziwen smiled meaningfully at Orange and said seriously, "I can tell you that he is the strongest man in the future of the Sun Moon Empire that some bigwigs in the royal family are preparing to create. He will be the pillar that supports the sky and the magic needle that stabilizes the sea in a few decades. His growth path will naturally be different. This is an absolutely confidential matter. You must not tell anyone, otherwise I can't protect you!"
Xuan Ziwen knew that his student had some connection with Crown Prince Xu Tianran, so it was a big surprise for her to accidentally see Xu Tianxi's true strength, and she had to make up for it.
Is there anyone more important than Kong Deming in the royal family? I'm afraid not.
In addition, he knew that Xu Tianxi would send some gifts to the home of Xu Sheng, the commander of the First Soul Guide Corps stationed in the Mingdou Mountains during festivals. Good things like the Xuanshui Pill were given, as well as some other precious pills and herbs.
At first, Xu Sheng was hesitant to accept any gifts. At most, he would accept some supplements that are beneficial to the younger generations in his family. But after learning from Xuan Ziwen that Xu Tianxi had become a "disciple of Right Gate" under Confucius, he no longer cared. He dared to accept any gift from Xu Tianxi and even wrote a thank-you letter to express his feelings.
To round it off, Xu Sheng, the frontier general who has a good relationship with Xu Tianxi, is also very optimistic about Xu Tianxi. As an eighth-level soul mentor and commander of a legion, he can be considered a big shot in the royal family.
When Orange heard this, her heart trembled, and her skin, which was so tender that it seemed like water could be squeezed out of it, turned pale. What, what, what, she just followed her teacher to find the younger student to do experimental research, how did she get exposed to such a terrifying secret?
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had asked her to try to help win over the new Sun Moon Empire's number one soul mentor genius, but he hadn't told her that this was an all-round war god!
A four-ringed man could fight a sword maniac, what would happen if he had five or six rings? Would he fight a Soul Sage or Soul Douluo directly?
Wait, could it be that even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't know his true background? Was the confidentiality level of this junior so high?
Orange, who was surprised to find the big boss of the royal family beside her, secretly made a decision to keep everything she saw today to herself. The Crown Prince himself didn't know, so why did she rush to betray the little brother? This little brother was easy to get along with.
He called her "Orange Senior Sister" very sweetly. He usually focused on practicing and researching, and he never refused when he was asked for help occasionally. He was a very good person.
In comparison, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appears to be courteous and respectful on the surface, but is sinister and calculating behind the scenes... well, the gap is quite big.
Orange is not a naive person. From Teacher Xuan's attitude, it can be seen that the power behind Junior Tianxi is very strong. To be disrespectful, it is still unknown whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can ascend to the throne. There is probably no problem for him to become the strongest man in the Sun Moon Empire in the future.
She had seen Xu Tianxi and the two geniuses of the Hongchen family getting along. Xiao Hongchen and Xu Tianxi looked like bad friends. Meng Hongchen's eyes fell on Xu Tianxi ten times, at least eight times. It was self-evident what this meant, and the dean didn't seem to object.
With the Hongchen family, Teacher Xuan Ziwen and other royal dignitaries protecting him, Orange seemed to be able to see a new star rising with unstoppable momentum.
"Hey... If I had your talent, I wouldn't have to worry about revenge. I could become a Titled Douluo and go to the Xingluo Empire to assassinate Duke White Tiger."
Gazing at Xu Tianxi's young, energetic and powerful figure, Emperor and Queen God of War Orange thought of his own talent and hatred, and felt like crying while eating a lemon.
Her martial soul is orange, a real food-type soul master. She has no fighting power even after becoming a Title Douluo. Moreover, her talent is not good. She relies on the power of elixirs to achieve her current level of cultivation.
The path of soul mentor is not easy to walk, at least not enough for her to cultivate to the point where she can assassinate the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao. If she wants to take revenge, she must gain Xu Tianran's trust, find a way to take charge of the army, and send troops to Xingluo.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gloomy and ruthless, but he really wants to do something big. Orange is sure that if he ascends the throne, he will definitely launch a war to unify the original Douluo Three Kingdoms and avenge his previous humiliation.
However, he does not have many strong supporters now, and the loss of his lower body is a huge demerit, so his position is not very stable. Even Orange has some doubts about whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has the ability to continue his offspring...
Tsk tsk, it is a huge problem that the emperor has no prince. I wonder how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will deal with this big trouble in the future. Will he adopt a son of the royal family, or use some other means?
Just as Orange was daydreaming about the future difficulties that a wheelchair prince would face, the battle between Xu Tianxi and Ji Juechen was coming to an end.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The fists collided with the swords three times in a row. With the point of collision as the center, the air within a radius of three meters was compressed into a spherical shock wave visible to the naked eye. It was so spectacular that one could not look at it directly.
The spherical shock wave dissipated, and both of them were knocked flying backwards. Xu Tianxi activated the wind and thunder elements to relieve the force, flew backwards nearly thirty feet, flipped in the air and landed on the ground, with blood at the corners of his mouth.
Ji Juechen protected himself with the sword's power, leaving a hundred-meter-long wound on the ground. His hands holding the sword were covered in blood, and even the bones were visible.
At first glance, Xu Tianxi had the upper hand, but at this moment, Xu Tianxi did not dare to relax at all. He clearly sensed that the sword intent of the sword maniac had been rising and reached a new peak.
"Others' performances deteriorate as they play, but you become more energetic the more you play. This is outrageous..."
Xu Tianxi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, leaving a fishy-sweet taste in his mouth. He stared at Ji Juechen with fear in his eyes.
He had seen many geniuses, and their combat status would decline as their soul power, mental power and physical strength were consumed. Ji Juechen was the only exception. As long as his sword intent was not extinguished, he would not be affected too much.
Ji Juechen looked at his wrist that was about to be dislocated, knowing that his body was on the verge of its limit, so he raised his head abruptly and looked at Xu Tianxi with burning eyes: "I have one last sword left, this is a prototype, you be careful."
"The last sword?"
Xu Tianxi's eyes twitched, and he thought to himself that this sword geek had come up with something new. After thinking for a while, he said loudly:
"Okay! Go ahead and try out my new spirit skill!"
After saying this, his body shook, and two disguised yellow and two purple soul rings rose from under his feet.
In the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, only three people from the Hongchen family know about his previous version of soul skills, and no one knows about the Four Black Version to this day.
Ji Juechen raised his eyebrows: "Are you going to use soul skills?"
Xu Tianxi smiled and said, "Yes, this soul skill of mine is defensive, but I don't know where its limit is. I would like to ask you, a sword fanatic with unparalleled killing power, to test its quality."
Ji Juechen nodded when he heard this. This kind of thing is easy to talk about: "Okay! Then you wait for a while, I need some time to gather my strength."
The smile on Xu Tianxi's face froze. No, you still need to accumulate strength? Are you afraid that you can't chop me into the school clinic?
If I get hurt by you, be careful or the Hongchen brothers and sisters will use their spirit fusion skills on you and send you to the school infirmary to get an IV drip with me.
However, the words were already spoken, and Xu Tianxi could not regret it. He just breathed in, restrained his spirit, and the fourth soul ring with a layer of gray energy suddenly began to move rhythmically, ready to go.
On the other side, Ji Juechen's energy accumulation lasted for five seconds. His handsome face seemed to have been drained of blood, and turned terrifyingly pale.
"Have you integrated all your soul power into it?" Xu Tianxi became even more alert, and with a flick of his sleeves, the Red Dust Blessing fell into his right hand.
In previous battles, his attacks were as fast as lightning and as aggressive as fire. The most important reason was not that he liked to fight like this, but that he did not dare to give Ji Juechen time to accumulate strength.
If he was given enough time, the consequences would be disastrous; if Xu Tianxi had not been confident in his fourth soul skill, he would have run away at this moment.
"Be careful!"
Ji Juechen raised his sword with difficulty and opened his mouth, then swung the sword heavily with all his strength. A gray light swept out like a streak of silk. The strange thing was that there was not even a trace of soul power fluctuation when it appeared.
Xu Tianxi was horrified, and lit up the soul ring without any hesitation: "Fourth soul skill, Moon Goddess Protection!"
The sky suddenly darkened, and a dark full moon descended. Mist-like moonlight sprinkled down, forming layers of vortex-like strong light that protected Xu Tianxi's body.
Faintly, it seemed as if an extremely tall gray shadow appeared behind Xu Tianxi. It was the protective light and shadow condensed by his mental and soul power, supporting a huge spherical shield.
At this moment, the gray sword light fell and hit the shield heavily!
