Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 1 Transmigrating to School

"Father, Mother, one day I will kill the Wang family and avenge you." Lin Chen punched a tree, and blood flowed out.

Eight years ago...

"What happened to me?" A question echoed in the baby's mind as he was born. Lin Chen only remembered that he was 18 years old at the time, having just finished his college entrance exams, and was working a summer job delivering food. On his way to meet an order, a car sped towards him, and then Lin Chen lost consciousness.

As the days passed and the baby grew up, Lin Chen finally understood what had happened: he had transmigrated! And he had transmigrated to the Douluo Continent during the Douluo Continent: Peerless Tang Sect era.

Lin Chen was born in the Douling Empire. His family was considered to be of the upper-middle class, so Lin Chen's standard of living was relatively good from a young age, similar to his previous life.

When Lin Chen was six years old, he awakened the top-tier weapon spirit, the Seven Kill Sword, which made the entire Lin family extremely happy. Lin's father's spirit was a longsword with level 67 spirit power, while Lin's mother's spirit was a shield with level 42 spirit power.

However, this period of prosperity was short-lived. The Lin family consisted of fifty people in total. Lin's father and mother integrated the two families together to facilitate their development in the Douling Empire. At that time, the Douling Empire was in a state of internal turmoil, with constant struggles and widespread suffering. Soon, the Lin family was drawn into the political struggles of the Douling Empire.

At the time, Lin's parents were with Lin Chen in the Soul Hunting Forest, trying to obtain his first soul ring. When they returned to Tianlin City, the scene they witnessed shocked them all. The entire Lin family estate was awash in blood; not a single person was alive, and corpses littered the grounds…

Although the Lin family is not a particularly large family, Lin Chen spent his childhood here and had already developed a deep affection for it.

After the Lin family was wiped out, Lin's parents moved with Lin Chen to a small mountain village. However, they were pursued by assassins from the Wang family along the way. To protect Lin Chen, his parents were seriously injured, allowing him to escape. After arriving in the small mountain village, Lin's parents only stayed with Lin Chen for two years before passing away.

……

At this moment, Lin Chen knelt before the graves of his father and mother and whispered.

As a transmigrator, Lin Chen originally hoped to have a cheat code or a system to help him out, just like our Huo Yuhao, the Chosen One of Destiny, but unfortunately, he didn't.

He had thought about becoming a rich man and living a carefree life, but then he thought, as a transmigrator, wouldn't it be a waste of his life if he didn't take the path of a Soul Master?

Moreover, with such a deep-seated hatred in his past life, Lin Chen was quite detached from worldly affairs, but if he could forget even the hatred of his clan's annihilation, then he wouldn't deserve to be called a human being.

After much deliberation, Lin Chen decided to join Shrek Academy. As the top academy on the continent, its teaching quality and cultivation resources are among the best, which would be more conducive to Lin Chen becoming stronger.

Another problem arises: getting into Shrek Academy requires a recommendation letter from a city lord. If he had a family connection, it would be easier, but where is he going to get one now? In his previous life, he thought this system made it impossible for Shrek Academy to recruit commoner soul masters, but now this problem has fallen on his own head.

Lin Chen thought for a moment and decided to first go to the Soul Hunting Forest to help people hunt soul beasts to earn money to buy a letter of recommendation from the city lord. Although money isn't everything, in this world, money might be able to influence things, and at least a letter of recommendation could be bought.

Four years have passed in the blink of an eye. Shrek City, Shrek Academy East Gate.

"Name."

"Lin Chen".

Letter of recommendation.

Lin Chen handed over the letter of recommendation.

When the Shrek student in charge of registration saw the signature on the recommendation letter, he was taken aback, but he quickly composed himself and continued, "Age, soul power level, and martial soul."

"12 years old, Martial Soul Seven Kill Sword, Level 24 Power Attack Type Weapon Soul Master," Lin Chen replied, then released his one yellow and one purple soul ring configuration. At the same time, a delicate blue slender sword appeared in his palm.

The student was surprised again, then handed Lin Chen a set of keys and a small notebook, pointing to a small white building and saying, "These are the dormitory keys, room 109 on the first floor. There's also a freshman brochure; take a good look."

Lin Chen took the key and headed towards his dormitory.

Reaching the dormitory building, Lin Chen naturally saw the white-haired old man sitting in the recliner—the strongest Shrek Academy member in a thousand years: Dragon God Douluo Mu En. It was impossible for him not to be nervous; after all, he still had the mind of a young boy. However, Lin Chen didn't show any surprise, nor did he politely greet him. Like any other freshman, he glanced at him a few times and then went to find his dormitory.

Let Huo Yuhao be the polite child.

Upon arriving at the dormitory, Lin Chen opened the door and was greeted by two large beds. And then... nothing more.

"So stingy," Lin Chen muttered. He then went to Shrek City to buy cleaning tools and daily necessities.

Walking through the streets of Shrek City, Lin Chen, who had been reborn, couldn't help but marvel at its prosperity. The streets were filled with all sorts of shops, their vendors' calls echoing throughout. Despite the large number of shops, everything was orderly.

After purchasing the necessary items, Lin Chen saw three figures as he walked towards the Soul Guidance Train station. A blond boy and a beautiful girl were leading a thin boy along the way. (The Soul Guidance Train here refers to the steam locomotive invented after the First Industrial Revolution, not the one from Douluo Continent III.)

"It can't be that much of a coincidence..." Lin Chen thought to himself.

Sure enough, those three figures were undoubtedly Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and Huo Yuhao.

Being in the same year as the chosen one is not a good thing, but since it has already happened, Lin Chen can't just drop out of school and then go to Zhang Lexuan to ask for a recommendation letter. Even if Zhang Lexuan is willing to give it to him, Lin Chen can't possibly shamelessly ask for it.

That's right, Lin Chen's letter of recommendation came from Zhang Lexuan. A year ago, when Lin Chen's Soul Hunting Team was helping him acquire his second Soul Ring, they encountered Zhang Lexuan, who was on a mission. At the time, Zhang Lexuan was quite surprised to see the ratio of one yellow and one purple Soul Ring, so she went up to ask Lin Chen about it.

It would have been better if she hadn't asked, because this question made Zhang Lexuan feel that Shrek Academy had struck gold. So when Lin Chen said he wanted to go to Shrek Academy, Zhang Lexuan gave the boy a letter of recommendation.

Upon arriving at the station, Lin Chen saw the three people who were already waiting there. Since Huo Gua and the other two had nothing to carry, they naturally walked much faster than Lin Chen.

When the Soul Guidance Train arrived, the four of them boarded it together, heading towards Shrek Academy.

Perhaps it was that extraordinary aura that made Tang Sect's senior disciple, Bei Bei, glance at Lin Chen, but Lin Chen didn't notice.

Upon arriving at Shrek Academy, the four got out of the car. Bei Bei and Tang Ya led Huo Yuhao toward the admissions office, while Lin Chen went straight back to his own little apartment.
