Douluo: Steadily Becoming Stronger in Shrek

Chapter 8 Zhou Mingxing Equipped with Soul Guidance Device
Hearing this, Lin Chen's heart immediately trembled.

Isn't this familiar and gentle voice the voice of the senior sister Zhang Lexuan from the inner courtyard?

Looking up, a beautiful face came into his eyes. At this moment, Zhang Lexuan was standing in front of him, looking at him.

"Where's my milk tea? I paid for it." Zhang Lexuan said.

"Oh, here you go." Lin Chen handed over a cup of freshly made milk tea.

Looking at Lin Chen's dull look, Zhang Lexuan laughed and said, "Okay, I won't disturb you from doing business now. Do you have a place to sit here?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lin Chen replied quickly, then pointed to the tables and chairs behind his stall and said, "The ones behind are all my stalls, Sister Le Xuan, please feel free to sit."

Zhang Lexuan nodded, then walked to a chair and sat down.

After closing the stall, Lin Chen took two cups of milk tea, came to the chair where Zhang Lexuan was sitting, and sat down, and asked, "Sister Lexuan, why are you so free to come to my place today?"

"I didn't come here on purpose. I just finished a mission today and I didn't want to cook, so I came here to buy some food. Who would have thought that I would see a freshman setting up a stall here instead of practicing." Zhang Lexuan answered very straightforwardly.

"Sister Le Xuan, it is very important to combine work and rest. If it is too hard, my small body won't be able to handle it." Lin Chen said with a smile.

"You're the only one who can say that." Zhang Lexuan rolled her eyes at him.

Then he asked, "I heard that the freshman competition has started. How are the results?"

"We've only played two games, and we've won all of them." Lin Chen said proudly.

"But compared to Sister Le Xuan, it's nothing."

"Ah."

As if remembering something, Lin Chen took out the thousand-year-old whale glue he had picked up earlier from his soul guide and said, "Sister Le Xuan, this is the whale glue I bought at the Treasure Pavilion. Can you use your soul power to help me dissolve it? I will eat it while I practice tonight."

"Okay, but this whale glue... looks a bit spoiled." Zhang Lexuan said.

"No, no, no, Sister Le Xuan, this is a piece of whale glue that is ten thousand years old."

"Oh?" With the soul power in motion, the whale glue dissolved under Zhang Lexuan's strong soul power and turned into a soft mass.

"It is indeed thousand-year-old whale glue, and it is of very good quality. The medicinal effect should be very strong. Just absorb it now, and I will protect you." Zhang Lexuan said with a hint of unquestionableness in her tone.

Lin Chen nodded, immediately swallowed the whale glue, sat cross-legged, circulated his soul power, and absorbed the medicinal effects.

When a hint of pale sky appeared in the east, Lin Chen slowly woke up from his cultivation, only to find Zhang Lexuan looking at him with a half-smile.

"Sister Le Xuan, why are you looking at me like that?" Lin Chen was puzzled.

Looking at Lin Chen's confused expression, Zhang Lexuan had no reason to want to play with him, and said, "I'm really curious. Some people just absorbed whale glue, but they actually meditated deeply for a whole night. I don't know what kind of freak they are."

"I don't know either...Ah?! What! I meditated all night?!" Lin Chen opened his mouth wide.

"Le Le Le... Sister Le Xuan, I'm sorry, just call me if you need any hard work in the future. I'm going to participate in the freshman competition first. Bye, Sister Le Xuan!" After saying that, he summoned the Seven Killing Swords and flew away on the sword.

Lin Chen rushed to the fighting arena and found Lin Xiaolei and Zhou Mingxing waiting there. Fortunately, it was not their first fight, otherwise Lin Chen might have died.

As for the competition, we won it without any surprises.

When he returned to the dormitory at noon, Lin Chen felt his body and found that his body could already withstand a spirit ring of about four thousand years. A spirit ring of this age was comparable to the fourth spirit ring of an ordinary spirit master.

However, Zhou Mingxing was not in the dormitory. Lin Chen was a little confused. Although this guy was a food-type, he was extremely hardworking in his cultivation, even harder than himself.

Why aren't you practicing now?

When the afternoon competition started, Zhou Mingxing, holding the soul guide, answered Lin Chen's questions at noon.

Wow, it turns out he went to buy a soul guide!
"Freshman Class 1 Lin Chen Team vs. Freshman Class 3 Ma Hongguang Team! Please invite the contestants to the stage!"

"Freshman Class 1, Lin Chen."

"Freshman Class 1, Lin Xiaolei."

"Freshman Class 1, Zhou Mingxing."

"Freshman Class 3, Ma Hongguang."

"Freshman Class Three, Xiao Yang."

"Freshman Class Three, Li Renba."

"Game start!"

The six people on the field all activated their martial spirits. Ma Hongguang was a second-ring great spirit master, and the other two were first-ring.

Ma Hongguang on the opposite side hooked his finger towards this side, full of provocation.

"Damn it. Xiaotu, beat him up!"

"Wait a minute, this team is not simple."

Lin Chen had observed this team before. Except for the previous team of three great soul masters, they all defeated their opponents with absolute crushing. Xiao Yang's martial soul was silk thread, similar to the steel wire in Lin Chen's previous life. Li Renba's martial soul was a boomerang, but Lin Chen was unsure of Ma Hongguang's martial soul.

When watching the battle before, Lin Chen knew that Ma Hongguang’s first soul skill was a mind control soul skill, so Lin Chen concluded that the main controller on the opposite side was Ma Hongguang.

Seeing that the other side was not fooled, Ma Hongguang raised his head to his teammates. Xiao Yang and Li Renba immediately understood what he meant and rushed towards Lin Chen and the others.

"You guys observe the situation. I'll meet these two people first."

"Xiao Tu (Brother Lin), be careful!"

Lin Chen nodded, rushed out with the Seven Killing Sword in hand, and started fighting with Xiao Yang and Li Renba.

With the strength of his martial soul and the improvement in his physical fitness from absorbing the Millennium Soul Ring, Lin Chen can now fight two people at the same time without being at a disadvantage.

"First soul skill, the long sword comes out!" Lin Chen used his first soul skill, transformed into two Seven Killing Swords, and slashed towards the opponent.

At this time, Ma Hongguang, who had been behind Xiao Yang and Li Renba, made a move: "First soul skill, mind control."

Lin Chen fell into a daze.

"First soul skill, lingering piano sound!" Lin Xiaolei used the first soul skill on Ma Hongguang, who instantly fell into dizziness, but his soul skill still landed on Lin Chen. Even though Lin Chen's mental strength was very strong among people of the same level, he couldn't break free all of a sudden.

Furthermore, Ma Hongguang also has an illusion-type martial soul, and his mental power is stronger than that of ordinary soul masters.

Xiao Yang and Li Renba would not watch Lin Chen break free from Ma Hongguang's control.

"First soul skill, boomerang!"

"First soul skill, thread cutting!"

Suddenly, a huge boomerang flew towards Lin Chen from one side, and dense silk threads stabbed towards Lin Chen from the other side.

The referees off the field were ready to take action.

Just when Li Renba and Xiao Yang's soul skills were about to hit Lin Chen, Zhou Mingxing ran to Lin Chen and took out a second-level defensive soul guide.

The second-level soul guide device split into two small shields, forming a small energy shield, helping Lin Chen to resist the oncoming soul skills.

Soul guide?
Everyone present was filled with contempt. When had Shrek Academy ever produced a freshman who used a soul guide in a competition? How could he become a powerful soul master if he knew how to rely on external objects at such a young age?

But Zhou Mingxing doesn't care about all this. He is a food-type person, so what's wrong with using a soul guide to increase his own security?
Zhou Mingxing felt more and more that every word Lin Chen said made sense.

"Referee, I report them for using soul guides." Li Renba said.

"That's just a second-level soul guide, which is within the scope allowed by the rules. The report is invalid, continue the game!" the referee said coldly.

Ma Hongguang sneered, seized the opportunity, and released his second soul skill: "Second soul skill, paradise environment!"

Suddenly, a large amount of white fog appeared around Lin Chen and Zhou Mingxing, and the figures of Lin Chen, Zhou Mingxing, Ma Hongguang, Li Renba and Xiao Yang were also covered by the white fog, leaving only Lin Xiaolei outside.

Lin Xiaolei recalled what Lin Chen had said to her before the game: "If I'm not mistaken, that Ma Hongguang should be an illusion-type soul master. We can't let all three of us fall into illusions during the game. At least one person should be outside to support us."

As it turned out, Lin Chen's guess was correct.

At this time, Lin Chen and Zhou Mingxing found themselves in an amusement park.

"Brother Lin, what should we do?" Zhou Mingxing asked.

"Find his weakness!"

"But I can't see any flaws here." Zhou Mingxing said as he looked at the busy amusement park.

"Generally speaking, illusion-type skills require the caster to pull both the enemy and himself into the illusion at the same time, and then use the assistance of the illusion to kill. Moreover, this is only a hundred-year soul skill, and the illusion itself cannot have the ability to attack, so Ma Hongguang and his teammates should have entered the illusion."

As he was speaking, a silk thread shot towards Lin Chen at a high speed.

A small strand of Lin Chen's hair was also cut off and fell to the ground.
