Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 101 Sixth Grade Promotion Assessment

This day was the day of the upgrade assessment for the sixth-year students of Shrek Academy's outer court. All the sixth-year students were summoned to the arena.

But Zhang Lexuan told him that his assessment was different and that it would take place on Poseidon Island.

Lin Chen was not surprised by this, after all, he was already a Soul Saint on the surface, and the outer court's assessment was no longer suitable for him.

"Mingxing, the vice dean wants me to go to Poseidon Island for an assessment. I'm off," Lin Chen said to Zhou Mingxing.

Zhou Mingxing nodded, waved, and then turned to go to the Soul Guidance Department.

Upon arriving at Poseidon Island, Cai Meier and Zhang Lexuan were already waiting there.

Yan Shaozhe had gone to organize the sixth-year students of the outer academy for an assessment, and was not on Poseidon Island at the moment.

"Lin Chen, your test is to fight against Dean Cai and last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn under her," Zhang Lexuan stated directly, outlining Lin Chen's test content.

Lin Chen nodded, and the three of them flew towards the Soul Battle Arena in the inner courtyard.

On the way, Lin Chen couldn't help but ask, "Dean Cai, why are you my assessment candidate instead of Sister Le Xuan? I'm just a lowly Soul Saint; I can't withstand the torment of your Super Douluo Soul Power!"

Cai Meier smiled and said, "Everyone knows that your recommendation letter came from Le Xuan. Maybe she'll go easy on you! Shao Zhe went to arrange the outer academy's assessment. Among the busy senior monks, I'm the weakest. Why don't you find another senior monk to be your assessment candidate?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen quickly waved his hand.

Zhang Lexuan, who was standing to the side, blushed a little after Cai Meier said that.

In just three minutes, the three of them had already flown to the Soul Battle Arena in the inner courtyard, mainly because they hadn't used much of their soul power.

The inner courtyard's fighting arena is much larger than the outer courtyard's, and the materials used are also more durable.

Cai Meier said, "Le Xuan, you'll be the referee. Don't worry, I won't use my ninth soul skill."

The last sentence was clearly directed at Lin Chen.

If Cai Meier really uses her ninth soul skill, then given Lin Chen's current strength, it will be quite difficult for him to block it.

Then someone might say, "Couldn't you have just dodged it?"

If it could be easily dodged, then it wouldn't be the ninth soul skill of a Title Douluo, especially since Lin Chen is only a Soul Saint.

Zhang Lexuan took out an incense stick, lit it, and announced the start of the duel.

Both of them released their spirit rings at the same time.

Nine perfectly matched spirit rings—yellow, purple, black, black, black, black, black—appeared on Cai Meier, and she also held a long spear in her hand.

"The Dragon Soul Spear that breaks through evil? This is the first time I've seen one like this," Lin Chen thought to himself.

Seven spirit rings circled around Lin Chen, and he held the Seven Kill Sword firmly in his hand.

The two then clashed.

Come to think of it, this seems to be Lin Chen's first time clashing with a powerful weapon spirit master, which is a good opportunity for him to hone his own abilities.

Lin Chen unleashed a series of sharp sword energies at Cai Meier, who countered with a continuous barrage of spear strikes.

"You've condensed your first soul core?!" Feeling Lin Chen's attack, Cai Meier stopped swinging her spear and exclaimed in surprise.

As a senior elder of the Sea God Pavilion and a current Super Douluo, nothing had surprised Cai Meier so much in a long time.

How could she suppress her inner impulse when someone actually condensed their first soul core during the Soul Saint stage?

Upon hearing Cai Meier's question, Lin Chen stopped his attack, nodded, and expressed his agreement.

"You truly surprise me, the True Form of the Evil Breaker!"

Cai Meier directly activated her weapon spirit form, and in an instant, she lost some of her coquettish charm and gained a heroic spirit.

"Seven Killings True Form!"

Lin Chen also used his weapon spirit true form, which was the third time he had used it.

A vast and powerful sword aura surged toward Cai Meier like a tidal wave.

Seeing this, Cai Meier's black soul ring flashed, and her enormous soul power stretched along the spear shaft, eventually transforming into a giant dragon to resist Lin Chen's sword energy.

Facing a powerhouse at the Super Douluo level, Lin Chen dared not hold back. He unleashed his Seven Kill Domain at full power, forcefully suppressing Cai Meier's cultivation level to the Title Douluo level.

"Oh? There's a domain too?" Cai Meier was slightly surprised again, but the spear in her hand did not stop. Another purple soul ring appeared, and the sky was filled with countless Demon-Slaying Dragon Soul Spears formed by soul power.

This is Cai Meier's fourth soul skill, a group attack skill similar to Phoenix Meteor Shower and White Tiger Meteor Shower.

However, since it is only a soul skill provided by a thousand-year-old soul beast, it is still not as strong as the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One skill given by the saber-toothed tiger.

Seeing hundreds of spears attacking him, Lin Chen used the Seven Kill Domain skill.

The sword energy, carrying immense and pure killing intent, collided with Cai Meier's soul skill, and for a moment it was difficult to tell who had the upper hand.

Lin Chen then confronted Cai Meier again, and the two engaged in another battle.

Actually, Lin Chen benefited from Cai Meier being his examiner this time. Cai Meier's martial soul, the Evil-Slaying Dragon Soul Spear, as the name suggests, is very effective against evil soul masters, but it has no effect on Lin Chen, who also has a weapon martial soul, and is no different from other weapon martial souls.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Dragon Head of Evil Extermination!" Cai Meier hurled the spear in her hand at Lin Chen, and a huge dragon head appeared on the spear shaft.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Seven Kill Thunder Rise, One Sword Pierces the Sky!" A huge Seven Kill Sword slowly rose from the ground and suddenly collided with Cai Meier's fifth soul skill.

For a moment, even Zhang Lexuan, with her cultivation level, was shocked by this aura.

Cai Meier possesses profound soul power, and the soul skills she unleashes are incredibly powerful. However, Lin Chen has the advantage of having a higher-level soul ring than Cai Meier, making it difficult to determine a winner in their current clash.

Just as the two were locked in a fierce battle, a white light shone through Lin Chen and Cai Meier's soul skills, forcefully breaking through their abilities.

That white light was Zhang Lexuan.

"Dean Cai, time's up!" Zhang Lexuan called out to Cai Meier.

Cai Meier reluctantly put away her martial spirit and slowly descended from the fighting platform.

Lin Chen also put away the Seven Kill Sword.

"Le Xuan's strength has improved again; she was able to break through both my and Lin Chen's soul skills at the same time during the collision," Cai Meier said with a smile.

"Not at all. You used up a lot of power when you first collided, which is why I was able to break through. Otherwise, it would have been difficult," Zhang Lexuan said modestly.

Cai Meier smiled, said nothing, and turned to look at Lin Chen.

"I didn't expect you to be this strong. Even I struggled to defeat you for a while. You've passed the test."

"Dean Cai, you flatter me."

"Are you really not considering joining Shrek Academy?" Cai Meier pressed.

Faced with such a genius, she naturally didn't want to miss out.
