Douluo Dalu: Start with a Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgement

Chapter 233: Stealing chicken but losing rice
"elder brother!!!"

Meng Hongchen rushed onto the stage and helped up Xiao Hongchen, whose body was charred.

Ji Lin released his soul skill, and the 100-meter-long flaming sword that was inserted into the fighting soul field turned into flames and flew away. He slowly walked to Meng Hongchen and said, "He's fine, he was just roasted by the fire, probably only one-tenth of the way done."

Hearing this, Meng Hongchen loosened his hands, and Xiao Hongchen, who had just been helped up, fell to the ground again, "Oh! It's only one-tenth done! It's okay then."

After saying that, Meng Hongchen looked at Ji Lin with a faint blush on her face. Because of what happened before, she was still a little afraid to face Ji Lin.

Meng Hongchen said: "After two years of not seeing you, you have become stronger, and the gap between us and you is getting bigger and bigger!"

Before Ji Lin could say anything, Xiao Hongchen spewed out black smoke, and then she got up and pounced on Meng Hongchen. She was completely black like a demon, and her voice was deep and twisted. "Meng, you are really my good sister! Your brother almost died, and you don't care at all, right?"

Meng Hongchen was startled and quickly dodged the evil ghost of Xiao Hongchen, screaming, "Ah! Brother, don't come over here, don't dirty my clothes, these are the clothes I carefully selected for meeting Ji Lin!"

Seeing Meng Hongchen running off the stage, Xiao Hongchen did not chase after Meng Hongchen, but turned around and stared straight at Ji Lin. Ji Lin took a step back reflexively and said, "I just changed this clothes today, don't come near me."

The veins on Xiao Hongchen's forehead bulged, and his face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, seemed to be even darker. His fingers quietly sank into his palms, and he said with trembling lips, "Thank you."

Ji Lin stopped the Fire Flame King Sword just in time. He was only burned by the high temperature caused by the shock wave, which was just a superficial injury. Otherwise, if he had taken the Fire Flame King Sword head-on, he would probably have been reduced to ashes.

This minor skin injury will heal in two or three days, but I don't know how long it will take for this handsome hairstyle to grow back. I wonder if the Sun and Moon Empire has invented a hair growth agent.

"No need."

Ji Lin shook his head and turned to leave. He had no hatred towards Xiao Hongchen, so there was no need to kill him. Besides, Yan Shaozhe would not let anything happen to Xiao Hongchen. If Ji Lin had not stopped, Yan Shaozhe would have taken action.

Yan Shaozhe would not watch Xiao Hongchen die in Shrek Academy. Shrek's disciples were still in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

So it’s best to stop at the right point. Hello, I’m fine, and everyone is fine.

Looking at Ji Lin's back, Xiao Hongchen smiled bitterly. After two years of hard training, he thought he was qualified to stand in front of Ji Lin, but he didn't expect the gap to be even bigger, and it was a gap between heaven and earth.

Meng Hongchen's figure reappeared beside Xiao Hongchen at some point and said, "Brother, do you need me to help you down?"

"No, I can go down by myself." Xiao Hongchen walked down the stage alone. Looking at his back, Meng Hongchen's eyes showed distress. She knew how proud her brother was. He lost once two years ago, and lost again two years later, and the loss was even more miserable. She didn't know how long it would take for him to get over the psychological shadow this time.

Meng Hongchen listened to the cheers and jeers of the Shrek inner courtyard disciples in the audience. She gritted her teeth in anger, clenched her fists tightly, and her full chest rose and fell.

Amid the ridicule from the inner court disciples of Shrek, the brother and sister returned to the exchange student team of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

Xiao Hongchen ignored the mocking voices around him, came to his companions, took a deep breath and said, "We lost this time, completely defeated. We are inferior in skills. There is nothing to say. If anyone wants to retreat back to the Sun-Moon Empire, just say it directly. I won't stop you. But what I want to say is that failure is never terrible. What is terrible is not daring to face failure. We are all soul masters and soul mentors. We came here because Shrek Academy is better at cultivating soul masters than the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Mentor Academy. We must learn all the knowledge here to grow and live up to the expectations of the academy. Did you hear the voices around us laughing at us? We still have more than two years. We should use these two years to defeat those who laugh at us one by one, beat them into submission, and conquer them with our strength, instead of escaping back to the Sun-Moon Empire in disgrace and completely losing face for the academy."

Hearing Xiao Hongchen's words, Mr. Ma looked at Xiao Hongchen with satisfaction. This young man who was rebellious two years ago has grown up and become an excellent team leader. He has the courage to face failure and the spirit of never giving up. Coupled with his talent, as long as nothing unexpected happens, it is only a matter of time before he surpasses his grandfather Jing Hongchen.

Xiao Hongchen stretched out a hand, looked at his companions, and said, "Now, tell me, who of you wants to leave and who wants to stay."

Meng Hongchen was the first to put his hand on Xiao Hongchen's and said, "I will not leave. I will defeat Wang Qiuer and snatch Ji Lin away."

The third person to extend his hand was a member of the Sun and Moon Team reserve team who participated in the previous Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition together with Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen. He was followed by the fourth, fifth, and sixth person, until the tenth person extended his hand, and then Xiao Hongchen smiled happily.

No one backed down or gave up, which was great. No one brought shame to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

Hands of different sizes and skin colors were stacked up, and a raging fire was burning in the hearts of these young people.

Watching this scene, Yan Shaozhe's mouth twitched and his face was filled with surprise. He originally thought that he had crushed the will of the exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, but he did not expect that Xiao Hongchen's words would rekindle their fighting spirit, even more intense than before.

There was a gloom in Yan Shaozhe's eyes, and it seemed that he had overdosed his job.

Ji Lin watched from afar as some of Xiao Hongchen's people regained their fighting spirit, with a smile on his lips. He was not happy with Yan Shaozhe's petty behavior in the first place, relying on this method to suppress a group of teenagers. No wonder Mu Lao was unwilling to let Yan Shaozhe take charge of Shrek until his death. He had long seen that with Yan Shaozhe's character, managing a martial arts system was his limit. Letting him manage the entire Poseidon Pavilion might lead the Poseidon Pavilion into a ditch.

This time, Yan Shaozhe failed to gain anything but achieved his goal of striking the exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. Instead, he made some inner court disciples look at the exchange students from the Sun Moon Empire with new eyes. The exchange students' fighting spirit was also completely aroused, and they will surely study very hard in the Shrek inner court.

Seeing the exchange students from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Instructor Academy united in their hatred of the enemy, Xu Sanshi whispered to Beibei, “Beibei, why do I feel like we’ve become the villains? Isn’t this bad for the exchange students from the Sun Moon Empire? I remember that Huo Yuhao followed the Soul Guidance Department to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Instructor Academy. Will this bring them trouble?”
