Chapter 205 Sword Crazy
Shrek Academy won the individual competition against Xingluo Royal Academy in the end. Having won both the team battle and the individual battle, Shrek naturally advanced to the finals.
On the second day, another semi-final match between Sun Moon Royal Academy and Tianhun Di'ao Academy officially began.
The final result is no different from the original, with the Sun and Moon Royal Academy still winning.
However, during the competition, Xu Xingyu discovered that in addition to the three people mentioned in the intelligence, there seemed to be another person from the Sun and Moon Royal Academy who had never appeared.
He was a man with long dark green hair, and was described as cool and handsome. He carried a long sword on his back and wore ancient costume. For some reason, he gave Xu Xingyu the feeling of one of the swordsmen in Lan Xing's novels.
This made Xu Xingyu very curious about his identity, so she specifically asked Wang Yan about it. Wang Yan also said that he didn't know who this student was and had no information about him.
Only Elder Xuan had once privately detected the other party's cultivation level and knew that this person had just reached the level of Soul Emperor. As for why he has not appeared yet, it may be because he is regarded as the trump card of the Sun and Moon Royal Academy.
What's strange is that according to Master Xuan's private observation, this person is somewhat out of tune with the other students of the Sun and Moon Royal Family, and does things his own way.
There were several times when Riyue wanted him to play, but the other side said that he was too weak and did not want to play. He would blatantly disobey even the orders of his instructor.
This approach reminded Xu Xingyu that there was indeed such a person at the Sun-Moon Royal Academy who met Wang Yan's requirements. And since the original work did not have a correct number, we only knew that he might be in his twenties when he appeared.
Therefore, it is not impossible that his age is still within the range of the competition. The only difference is why the Sun and Moon Royal Family would allow this guy who caused them so much trouble to participate in this Soul Master Competition.
Indeed, this man's fighting ability is unmatched by ordinary people. Even Ma Xiaotao lost more than she won when fighting against him. After all, it is rare in the world for a person to cultivate sword intent to such a level.
That’s right, this person is none other than the Sword Maniac Douluo in the original novel, Ji Juechen!
Ji Juechen can be regarded as a genius in Douluo Continent to some extent. In Xu Xingyu's words, his biggest mistake was that he was born in Douluo Continent.
If he could be born in any other fantasy world, he would definitely be able to become a strong man standing at the top of the continent.
Because his training method is different from that of other soul masters and soul instructors. Soul rings are only used to break through his own bottleneck, and soul skills have never been used from beginning to end.
He would only work hard to cultivate his sword skills and use his soul power to temper his sword to make it sharper and tougher.
This kind of template may not be the protagonist template in other worlds, but it is definitely not a background role either.
It’s just that everyone knows that Douluo Continent is a world bound by the theory of bloodline, and without good bloodline there is no chance of rising at all.
The saying that there are no useless martial spirits, only useless spirit masters is just bullshit!
In Douluo Continent, the quality of a martial spirit and its bloodline determine the upper limit of this martial spirit.
Ten thousand years ago, Tang San was able to cultivate into a god with the Blue Silver Grass, only because it was not the Blue Silver Grass but the Blue Silver Emperor, a top-notch martial spirit.
Even if this kind of blue silver grass has not awakened, its cultivation speed must be much faster than normal blue silver grass.
This can be seen when Tang San was at the fourth ring and was cultivating his spiritual power. He inadvertently turned the surrounding Blue Silver Grass into the same Blue Silver Grass as himself. This shows that even if the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline has not awakened, it still has a certain bonus.
Therefore, it is pure nonsense to say that Tang San is a loser who made a counterattack. If he has such a strong bloodline power but has not achieved anything, he could just jump into the river and commit suicide.
But Ji Juechen is different. He is the only man in the history of Douluo Continent who is not completely bound by the theory of bloodline.
When he was six years old, the martial soul he awakened was a sword that didn't look like a sword, and his innate soul power was only level three. It could be said that he was just a mortal among soul masters.
If one could achieve the Soul King level of cultivation before the age of forty, one would be thankful. However, Ji Juechen relied on his own efforts and reached the Soul Emperor level of cultivation at the age of twenty.
Most people don’t know how big the gap is and how much effort and hard work it takes in the process.
The reason why he was able to do this was that after he obtained his own sword martial soul, he became obsessed with swords.
Except for eating, he was either practicing sword skills or cultivating his soul power all day long, and then used the soul power to temper his sword, which looked like a meteorite iron stick.
In addition, he will always challenge those who are stronger than himself without regard for his life, and force himself to break through by facing the pressure of the huge gap.
And as mentioned before, when he was fighting, he never used soul skills from his soul rings, because in his eyes those were foreign things, not his own, and were far less reliable than his own sword and the sword intent he had cultivated with great effort.
This results in a huge difference between his fighting style and that of soul masters and soul engineers.
He uses neither spirit ring skills nor spirit guides when fighting. If it weren't for the fact that spirit power is necessary for fighting, would anyone doubt that he is really a spirit master?
Therefore, Xu Xingyu did not think that the Sun-Moon Royal Academy would allow Ji Juechen, an outlier, to appear in the Soul Master Competition, because the battle between the Sun-Moon Royal Academy and Shrek Academy was, to some extent, a battle of concepts.
Shrek believes that traditional soul masters should not rely on any external objects. Only in this way can they become truly strong. Soul guides are just fancy things. They are okay for storage, but not for combat.
On the other hand, the Sun and Moon Royal Academy is a staunch supporter of soul guides. They believe that soul guides, as a military force, are by no means dispensable and that sooner or later the backward profession of soul master will be eliminated.
The soul guide, a cross-era product, will continue to evolve, and perhaps one day it will no longer be necessary to use soul power as a medium to use the soul guide.
This is also why Xu Xingyu wondered why the Sun Moon Royal Academy allowed Ji Juechen to play, because his existence did not conform to the philosophy of the Sun Moon Royal Academy.
The reason why Ji Juechen was allowed to join the Sun and Moon Royal Academy was mainly because he could challenge the masters of Mingde Hall and promote the actual combat of their top students. That was why this outlier was allowed to enroll.
But why is he being asked to participate in the Soul Master Competition now? Could it be that the sword bearer of the Sword of Judgment this time is not Ma Rulong, but Ji Juechen?
In that case, this competition might be much more interesting than Xu Xingyu imagined. It seems there will be something fun to do this time.
