Chapter 12 If you're young and not impetuous, are you even a young person?
After devouring all three soul beasts, Lin Fan's cultivation level directly broke through to level 17.
Later, Bibi Dong stopped letting Lin Fan devour soul beasts, fearing that he would become addicted to this method of rapidly increasing power through devouring.
He warned Lin Fan that he should not arbitrarily improve his cultivation by devouring others, otherwise he would be no different from an evil soul master.
Improving one's cultivation level by devouring living beings is a last resort.
Of course, compared to Douluo Continent II, Douluo Continent I is not as abstract, and it is not enough to be judged as an evil soul master just because one devours a soul beast.
To obtain the soul bone, Lin Fan went to great lengths. He took a month off and devoted himself entirely to training in practical combat skills. Bibi Dong personally instructed him, imparting all her knowledge of the seamless switching techniques between his twin martial souls.
For the past two months, the master and disciple have been practicing together every night.
Bibi Dong spared no expense in taking out many precious pills that could enhance soul power. Although these pills had a very small effect on Lin Fan, they were better than nothing.
With the help of elixirs and Bibi Dong, Lin Fan's cultivation level soared like a rocket.
After two months of hard work, Lin Fan's cultivation level has reached the peak of level 17!
If it weren't for the fear of his soul power becoming unstable, with his innate talent for full soul power, plus Bibi Dong's full support, he would probably have already broken through the level 20 mark by now.
...
Spirit Hall Academy, Central Arena.
Pope Bibidon sat high on the platform, her magnificent robes accentuating her dignified and aloof beauty. She simply announced the start of the match, but her gaze remained fixed on the figure in the ring.
The Second Elder, Golden Crocodile Douluo, strode to the front of the stage, his gaze sweeping across the entire audience, and declared in a booming voice: "This time, the rewards will be personally provided by the Elders of the Hall of Elders. A 50,000-year-old dark attribute right arm soul bone and abundant cultivation resources will all belong to the final champion!"
"Of course, the ten-thousand-year soul bone will only be given to the first-year champion. If a senior student wins the final championship, he will receive a thousand-year soul bone with a fire attribute of 4,000 years."
"I won't waste any more words, let the competition begin." Golden Crocodile Douluo turned and returned to his seat.
Even senior students who win the championship can obtain a thousand-year soul bone!
These words caused an uproar. All the senior students stared wide-eyed, their eyes gleaming with greed and desire.
If Bibi Dong hadn't fought for it, the final rules would probably have remained the same as before, with the champion's ten-thousand-year soul bone reward only given to students in the Gold Class.
If things really have to be like before.
Whether you win beautifully or hard-fought, people will always speculate that there was something fishy going on.
"First match, Lin Fan from the Golden Class, defending his title!" the referee announced loudly.
Lin Fan moved swiftly and jumped onto the arena.
Looking down at the challengers below the stage, a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"You ants, who will challenge me first?" Lin Fan's voice echoed throughout the arena.
These past two months of hard training have been all for this moment, so I can put on a big show!
"???"
"furious!"
"This kid is too arrogant, he needs to be taught a lesson!"
"What an arrogant brat! Bibi Dong, is this how you teach your disciples?"
[Young and impetuous, unaware of one's own limitations! Losing a game due to excessive arrogance would be a disgrace.]
They don't even bother to pretend when they're communicating privately.
Golden Crocodile Douluo transmitted his voice, which was full of provocation and affected Lin Fan on the arena, because he was Bibi Dong's disciple.
Bibi Dong had never been kind to Qian Renxue since childhood, which caused Lin Fan, as her disciple, to be implicated, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt.
Seeing Lin Fan's arrogant attitude, Bibi Dong, as his teacher, couldn't help but twitch her lips and secretly chuckle. This kid really has a foul mouth.
But faced with Golden Crocodile Douluo's provocation, Bibi Dong, with her fiery temper, couldn't tolerate it and directly retorted telepathically: "So what? This disciple has the right to be arrogant. Besides, what kind of young person isn't impetuous?"
[By the way, old man, do you have a successor?]
[You're almost 150 years old now, and you have no descendants. The Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul might have to end with you.]
Unlike me, young and in the prime of my life... I already have a successor, and the same martial spirit. You can only be envious.
Upon hearing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo's face instantly turned ashen. Bibi Dong's words continued to pierce his heart, igniting his anger, yet he couldn't find a rebuttal for the moment.
After all, the matter of succession is indeed beyond his control, not to mention that he has no children to date, which is truly his weakness. As a result, he has been trying hard to have an heir, but has not yet succeeded.
Lin Fan continued sarcastically, "What? Nobody dares to come up? Or are you all in the same year as me just all talk and no action?"
"You ants in the Bronze Class, are you even capable?!"
These words immediately ignited the anger of the first-year students, who clamored to go on stage and teach this arrogant guy a lesson.
The first-year bronze class consists of three classes, with a total of more than 100 students. Their angry shouts surged like a tidal wave, almost overturning the entire competition venue.
"Lin Fan, don't be so arrogant!"
"That's right, just wait and see how we deal with you!"
"The Bronze Class isn't to be trifled with either!"
Lin Fan ignored them, his gaze sweeping over the young faces below the stage, their expressions contorted with anger.
"Each person needs 10 points for one challenge." The referee's voice echoed across the field.
The first challenger was a girl with fairly pretty features. She put the points required for the challenge into the box and then slowly walked onto the stage.
Each student starts with 50 points. These points can be used to exchange for cultivation resources; one point can be exchanged for five gold soul coins, but gold soul coins cannot be exchanged for points.
There are only three ways to earn points: first, through activities organized by the college; second, through end-of-semester exam results; and third, by accepting tasks assigned by the college.
These pitifully few points were what she used to exchange for cultivation resources, but now she had to use them to challenge Lin Fan, which made her feel a little heartache.
But anger had clouded his judgment, and he couldn't care less about anything else.
The girl clasped her hands in a fist and said, "Class 3, Bronze, Liu Piaopiao, Level 11 Battle Soul Master, Martial Soul: Black Demon Butterfly!"
"Gold Class, Lin Fan, Martial Soul: Soul Devouring Spider Emperor!" Lin Fan said lazily, completely unconcerned.
After both sides summoned their martial spirits, the referee immediately announced the start of the match.
"First Soul Skill, Black Winged Butterfly Summoning!"
She unfurled a pair of jet-black wings, from which dozens of butterflies surged forth, swooping down on Lin Fan with a fierce aura.
Lin Fan easily dodged the butterflies that were rushing around and could only fly in a straight line.
He kicked out at close range, hitting the girl squarely in the abdomen.
