Chapter 374: Change to Fortune Telling
"How strong are you now? It turns out that you and I are no longer on the same level!"
Ji Juechen said with a bitter smile that when Jian Tongming appeared, the sword in his hand actually emitted a faint sense of fear, which shocked him.
As a swordsman, only a stronger sword could make his sword feel so uneasy. Ji Juechen, who had never given in to swordsmanship, felt for the first time that he had lost. And he lost without any hope.
Except for Huo Yuhao, the speculation in the hearts of the others became more and more real after hearing Ji Juechen say this.
The most surprised one should be Jing Ziyan. It was the first time for her to see Ji Juechen, who was crazy about her, look so sad.
"Brother Ji, what are you doing..."
Everyone didn't know how to comfort him for a moment, and some even didn't understand why Ji Juechen was so deeply hit.
"So are you ready to admit defeat?" Jian Tongming suddenly shouted.
Ji Juechen, who was in despair, suddenly shook all over. A glimmer of light appeared in his dull eyes again, but he was still extremely depressed.
"I originally thought that I, who worked so hard, would be no worse than anyone else! My martial spirit is weak, and my soul power training speed is slow. I can polish it bit by bit with time, and I firmly believe that my sword will tell everyone! I am not bad at all, but it was not until I saw you that I began to waver. It turns out that the thing I am most proud of is always inferior to others!"
"I didn't mean to compete with you. Do you have such a big distrust in your sword?" Jian Tongming frowned. He didn't expect Ji Juechen to have such a big reaction. Isn't it normal for soul masters to compete and surpass each other? He also struggled to stand up from the humble soil. Who can always stand at the top without being surpassed?
"Draw your sword! Let me know the difference between you and me!"
Ji Juechen's eyes suddenly changed, and a cold light flashed, and he held the Dragon Slaying Sword in his hand and pointed it at Jian Tongming.
The others were a little confused. Are they going to start fighting just like that?
"Everyone, calm down!"
Beibei hurried out to act as a peacemaker, and Xu Sanshi and He Caitou also hurriedly tried to separate the two people who were glaring at each other.
"Are you still qualified to hold the sword in your hand now?" In addition to anger, Jian Tongming felt more regretful.
"You look down on me?" Ji Juechen suddenly became a little agitated.
"So I am a waste, right? My soul power training is not as good as you geniuses, and my swordsmanship that I am proud of is still inferior to others."
"Brother Ji! You are wrong! If we talk about talent, both Yuhao and Tongming should be the worst, right?"
Xu Sanshi, who has always been careless, said this excitedly at this moment.
"Yuhao has a congenital first-level soul power. Who would have thought that he would have achieved what he has today? And Tongming was just an ordinary student from the outer courtyard, but he also achieved such a level. They don't rely on so-called talent, but on hard work that others can't imagine."
It was the first time that everyone saw Xu Sanshi so serious, and they were all a little surprised for a moment.
"If you want to become the strongest, you have to make yourself stronger instead of expecting others to become weak. Don't you understand such a simple truth?" Xu Sanshi said with increasing excitement.
He admired Huo Yuhao from the bottom of his heart. How much effort did the once inconspicuous 20th-level Great Spirit Master put in to reach this point? Who could have imagined?
The rest of the people nodded as well. How much pain and suffering did Huo Yuhao endure behind his powerful strength? And what did Jian Tongming, who also rose from a weakling to a powerful one, experience?
Huo Yuhao, who was lying in Wang Dong'er's arms at the moment, didn't feel a little blushing. Compared with Ji Juechen's efforts, there was still a huge gap. After all, starting with a million-year-old soul beast as a soul spirit was simply a cheating behavior.
Jian Tongming, who was standing by, couldn't help but touch his nose, feeling a little empty. Perhaps if he hadn't met Jiang Siming, even if he worked 100 times harder, he probably wouldn't have been able to reach the level he is today.
"Yes! Juechen, where have you gone, the high-spirited person who didn't take anyone seriously? Where have you gone, the person who once devoted all your time to cultivation? You are defeated so easily. Are you still the you who thinks you are the best in the world?" Jing Ziyan also said earnestly. As Ji Juechen's best friend, she was very reluctant to see her friend become like this.
Seeing all the people who cared about him so much, Ji Juechen suddenly felt very warm in his heart. Originally, he was a loner in Sun Moon Royal Academy and only had one friend, Jing Ziyan. But now, he seemed to have gained a group of friends who were worthy of his trust without realizing it.
"You are right! When have I, a sword fanatic, ever been so decadent? I am not so easily conquered!" The aura around Ji Juechen suddenly changed, and the originally decadent aura once again exuded vitality.
"Come on! Let's fight! No matter what, let me know how big the gap is between you and me. Let me see how powerful your sword is?" Ji Juechen held Zhanlong's hand tighter and tighter.
"Okay! Now you are qualified to fight with me!" Jian Tongming's heart was also aroused with fighting spirit, and the Seven Killing Sword Martial Spirit in his body kept trembling, obviously infected by Ji Juechen's sword intent.
Without saying a word, the two of them flew out and rushed to the Shrek Academy's fighting arena.
The rest of the people were also stunned when they saw the two people suddenly leave.
“These two guys really fight as soon as they say they will! I hope Ji Juechen won’t be hit too hard?” Huo Yuhao said with a helpless smile.
"Yuhao, what on earth did Junior Brother Tongming experience? Why has he made such a big improvement after just not seeing him for a dozen days?" Beibei couldn't help but ask curiously.
“I don’t know either. I can only say that my junior fellow apprentice is very strong nowadays. Even I am not absolutely sure that I can defeat him. Don’t forget that my junior fellow apprentice has never used his spirit skills in front of us.” Huo Yuhao said with some emotion.
When everyone heard Huo Yuhao say this, they all reacted and took a deep breath involuntarily. Jian Tongming seemed to have never shown his spirit skills in front of them before.
Soul skills are the main attack ability for soul masters. Of course, this is not entirely true for people like Huo Yuhao or Jiang Siming. After all, those who want to cheat like this cannot be compared with ordinary soul masters.
But even for a cheating idiot like Huo Yuhao, there are two different strengths when he uses spirit skills and when he doesn't. Everyone is increasingly unable to guess how strong Jian Tongming is.
Just a few years ago, he was just an inconspicuous external school student, but now he has grown to this point.
Everyone couldn't help but think of one person, that was Jiang Siming!
……
"Aqiu!"
Jiang Siming, who was setting up a stall in Shrek City, rubbed his nose and said to himself in confusion, "Who is thinking about me again?"
Jiang Siming, who had nothing to do, was so bored that he actually set up a stall in Shrek City.
"Don't miss it if you pass by! It's divinely calculated, one gold soul coin per visit."
Jiang Siming was shouting in a very down-to-earth manner, with a charlatan flag erected next to him, and he really looked like a street vendor master.
"God's calculations are perfect? Is that so exaggerated?"
It was the first time that the people in Douluo World had seen fortune-telling at a stall, and they all gathered around him out of curiosity.
"Hey! Are you serious? Are you really so perfect?"
Among the crowd of onlookers, a woman wearing tight clothes and carrying a lot of bags asked with some confusion.
"Ask me anything about marriage and career. One gold soul coin per time." Jiang Siming said indifferently.
"One gold soul coin, are you trying to rob me?" The woman was immediately annoyed. Although the other party was very handsome, he really deserved a beating for looking so careless.
Besides, the price of a gold soul coin is really high. For ordinary people, one gold soul coin is equivalent to an ordinary person's monthly expenditure income. This is no different from robbing money!
"Doing business is a matter of mutual consent. Besides, I won't force you whether you believe it or not." Jiang Siming stretched lazily and replied nonchalantly.
"Hmph! I don't believe you can really calculate it so accurately! I must destroy your place today!" The woman said and then popped out a gold soul coin.
Feeling the terrifying force of the flying gold soul coin, Jiang Siming casually waved his hand and put it into his sleeves, and asked lazily:
"Marriage or career, which one are you asking about?"
"Something capable!"
The woman's eyes lit up slightly. It seemed that the other person was not an ordinary person. She actually believed in this divine prediction.
"Then you can calculate where I come from. If you can't figure it out, don't blame me for overthrowing your business!"
"hehe!"
Jiang Siming smiled, clenched his hands slightly in his sleeves, and a golden rune appeared in the embroidered robe.
Since Huo Yuhao had used the Eye of Destiny to probe him last time, Jiang Siming had felt the mystery of fate. He was somewhat curious about this strange power, so he tried to use the power of the Chaos Bell Rune to deduce it. Unexpectedly, he actually managed to make something out of it.
The reason why I set up a fortune-telling stall here is that I want to verify whether my new ability can really see other people's fortunes and even make slight changes to them.
The woman who was originally expecting something suddenly felt herself being enveloped by a strange energy, but the feeling was fleeting and she thought it was her own illusion.
As the golden runes on his sleeves disappeared, Jiang Siming suddenly showed a curious look towards the woman in front of him.
"Sea Soul Master? What is someone like you doing in Shrek Academy?"
"You really know!" The woman looked at Jiang Siming in disbelief.
"Okay! You have asked all your questions. Pay me if you want to ask more." Jiang Siming looked lazy again and said casually.
"You!" The woman glared at Jiang Siming angrily, but still paid another gold soul coin.
"I want to test my marriage fate!"
"After all, we are not destined to be together. Marriage is based on mutual consent. Forcing something will produce no results." Jiang Siming shook his head and said.
Jiang Siming didn't know if he had made a mistake. He actually calculated that the woman in front of him had some relationship with Huo Yuhao. This part didn't seem to be in the original novel. Could it be that he accidentally changed the plot again?
Isn't that nonsense? He already has Wang Dong'er, who else can he look up to? Although the woman in front of him is not bad, she is completely different from Wang Dong'er. Besides, if his niece is cheated in front of him, he will probably have to keep his tail between his legs when he sees a mistress in the future.
After hearing Jiang Siming say this, the woman suddenly fell silent.
"I hope your calculation is correct, otherwise I will come back and overthrow your stall!"
The woman uttered a harsh word and then disappeared into the crowd.
Jiang Siming looked at the other person's departing back, and the golden runes in his sleeves appeared again.
The mysterious power of the fruit spread out, and Jiang Siming's originally rosy face suddenly turned pale.
"As expected, things that go against the will of heaven will have backlash!"
Jiang Siming felt a fishy-sweet taste rising in his throat and said with a wry smile.
Jiang Siming originally planned to use all his strength to activate the runes and figure out the cause and effect.
In the end, not only did I end up feeling lonely, but I also got myself hurt. It was really like stealing a chicken but losing the rice!
……
The most luxurious hotel in Shrek City, Tianxiang Pavilion, was actually booked out.
Three middle-aged men and six seemingly young young men were enjoying the luxurious food of Tianxiang Pavilion.
"It's worthy of being a subsidiary city of the number one academy on the continent! The food here is really no worse than our Sea Sword City!" One of the young men, who looked very cheerful, said excitedly while gnawing on a big bone in his hand.
The young man who looked a little arrogant said with some disdain:
"Look at your lack of ability. We'll be thankful if you don't embarrass us!"
"Damn, you want to fight! Good is good, bad is bad! I didn't see that there is much more food left on your table than on mine! And you still have the nerve to blame me!" The optimistic young man rolled his eyes at the other person with disdain.
"That's still better than you! You defeated general, if you keep pushing me, I will beat the shit out of you!" said the arrogant young man angrily.
"I'm afraid of you! You were just lucky last time. It's not certain who is better between us!" said the optimistic young man unconvinced.
"Okay! Don't forget the purpose of our visit this time. Where is Xun'er?" One of the three middle-aged men in the lead said lightly.
"I don't know, maybe he went shopping? The boss is always in the mood for shopping!" The optimistic young man took a bite of the meat bone in his hand and said with some disapproval.
"This girl! She really doesn't give me peace of mind. I should deduct all her living expenses from me." The middle-aged man said with a frown.
"That's right! Shopping is not as attractive as gourmet food. Isn't it a good thing to eat more?" The optimistic young man nodded in agreement.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's beard was about to explode with anger. What kind of people did he bring with him? They either wanted to buy things or eat.
