Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 159 The Promise with Ji Juechen

Meng Hongchen frowned slightly, clearly recognizing the newcomer's identity. This was quite normal, given that Ji Juechen, a sword fanatic, was quite famous in the academy.

In Meng Hongchen's memory, Ji Juechen was an extremely persistent person.

Yes, he's the type who won't give up until he hits a wall. Basically, once Ji Juechen sets his mind on something, he'll do his best to accomplish it.

Therefore, Jing Hongchen sometimes uses Ji Juechen as an example to encourage students with lower innate soul power levels to learn from Ji Juechen. According to Jing Hongchen, it doesn't matter if your innate soul power is a little weak; you can work harder, and maybe you will become the next sword fanatic Ji Juechen.

Meng Hongchen cleared her throat and said, "Ji Juechen, Junior Brother Yuhao hasn't eaten yet."

So if you want to challenge him, it's best to wait until he finishes eating.

I know you want to pick a fight, but you can't choose to fight someone who's starving.

"Eat?" Ji Juechen nodded, indicating his understanding. "Are you going to the cafeteria? I can wait outside. As long as he agrees to fight me, everything will be fine. If you need, I can treat you to a meal."

Huo Yuhao shook his head: "I never agreed to fight you, Senior Ji Juechen. I'm just a Soul Master, while you're a Soul Emperor. What are you challenging me for?"

Ji Juechen said, "What I want most right now is to find as many opponents as possible to hone my sword. You are a recognized genius in the academy, and I have not yet fought with you."

Perhaps I can find what I've been searching for in you, which is why I chose to challenge you.

But what exactly do you want in return for accepting my challenge?

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, thinking that Ji Juechen was indeed a straightforward person, no wonder he only got together with Jing Ziyan later on.

The other party didn't mean any harm; they just wanted to start a fight.

After thinking for a moment, Huo Yuhao said, "I can accept your challenge."

However, if you lose, you have to grant me one request.

He planned to absorb Ji Juechen into the Spirit Pagoda. If he could use defeating Ji Juechen as an opportunity, then this move would be a sure thing.

Even if Ji Juechen were a Soul Emperor and he was just a Soul Sect Master, he was confident he could defeat Ji Juechen.

If you're using cheats and still can't beat a Soul Emperor, then all that cheating was for nothing, right?

After all, he's Huo Gua now!

Ji Juechen replied without hesitation, "Okay. When shall we begin?"

Huo Yuhao thought to himself that Ji Juechen really loved fighting.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's fight again in three days, and the location will be the academy's Soul Arena."

Ji Juechen nodded: "Okay, it's a deal."

After saying these words, he left immediately.

Huo Yuhao and his group immediately headed to the cafeteria to eat.

high in the air.

Jing Hongchen watched this scene. He wasn't actually keeping a close eye on Huo Yuhao's every move. After all, there were always guardians stationed outside the academy to crack down on anyone who might threaten Huo Yuhao's safety.

Even without Kong Deming's instructions, those clear-headed worshippers knew the importance of Huo Yuhao.

In the eyes of the worshippers, Huo Yuhao was not only a genius in the field of Soul Masters, but also a genius in the field of Soul Instructors, and even created the Soul Spirit System that benefited Soul Masters.

If something were to happen to someone like that, the blow to the Sun Moon Empire would be enormous.

Of course, the main reason Jing Hongchen was here was because he had just been testing a high-altitude detection soul tool with Xuan Ziwen. This kind of soul tool is very important for war, but it is currently still in the testing phase and cannot be deployed on the battlefield.

However, Jing Hongchen believes that there will come a day when high-altitude detection soul tools will be deployed on the battlefield.

In fact, according to Jing Hongchen's thinking, if the Sun Moon Empire could expel the Holy Spirit Cult and unify the Douluo Continent, in the long run, this would actually be a good thing for the ordinary people of the Douluo Continent.

He had been to many places in the Douluo Three Kingdoms and knew that the people in some small towns were indeed living in hardship.

Sometimes, when winter comes, people in some small towns don't even have the opportunity to use coal.

Because coal belongs to the nobility, and all nobles are Soul Masters, while ordinary people have no ability to resist Soul Masters.

If the Sun Moon Empire were to unify the Douluo Continent, nobles would be able to use specially made soul tools for heating, and coal could also be made available to ordinary people.

With the coordination of resources and the cultivation of talent, soul tools will inevitably be further developed, and perhaps in the future ordinary people will be able to use specially made soul tools for warmth.

Jing Hongchen's thoughts were in turmoil. He subconsciously looked at Xuan Ziwen beside him and asked, "Teacher Xuan, who do you think will win? Will Yuhao win? Or will Ji Juechen win?"

Xuan Ziwen was stunned for a moment, then said, "Of course Yuhao will win."

After all, I still remember the scene of his battle with you, Master, very clearly to this day.

Yuhao undoubtedly possesses the ability to fight opponents of higher levels, but Ji Juechen is also very strong, after all, he is a sword fanatic, and his greatest skill is fighting.

Therefore, I predict that Yuhao will win, but he will likely face a tough battle before achieving victory.

Jing Hongchen smiled and said, "I also believe that Yuhao will win."

However, Teacher Xuan, I have a different opinion. I think Yuhao can easily defeat Ji Juechen.

Since meeting Ye Guyi, he had privately asked her what level the evil spirit master who was chasing her was.

Ye Guyi's answer was Contra.

What does it mean to be a Soul Master at the Contra level? Although Ji Juechen is a decent young man, in terms of strength, there is still a considerable gap between him and a Soul Master at the Contra level.

Even a Soul Douluo-level evil Soul Master still died at Huo Yuhao's hands, so for Huo Yuhao to deal with Ji Juechen would be an easy task.

Xuan Ziwen was a little confused; he even doubted whether he had heard correctly.

Because Jing Hongchen's words don't quite make sense.

He said, "Master, Yuhao is indeed a very outstanding child."

However, to say that he could easily defeat Ji Juechen is a bit of an exaggeration; Ji Juechen's strength is undeniable.

Jing Hongchen continued, "Teacher Xuan, let's wait and see."

Jing Ziyan stared at Ji Juechen with a conflicted expression: "So, you mean Huo Yuhao accepted your challenge?"
"Hiss, won't people think this is bullying the weak if word gets out? After all, you were the one who went to their door and challenged them. You're a Soul Emperor senior, for goodness' sake!"

Ji Juechen said in a deep voice, "I hope you will keep this a secret for me, because my challenge to Huo Yuhao is not to climb up by stepping on his reputation, nor is it for revenge."

I simply want to hone the sword in my hand.

Jing Ziyan knew Ji Juechen's temper, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll keep it a secret for you. So you'll have to find a battle arena and clear it out."

But from what you've said, you seem very confident in beating Huo Yuhao. Can you win?

Ji Juechen placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and said in a deep voice, "We will win!"
