Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 12: The Ring Explosion Reappears!

"Second Soul Skill, Butterfly God's Light!" Wang Dong unleashed his second Soul Skill, attempting to stop Lin Chen.

With Huo Gua's assistance, Wang Dongdie's Divine Light accuracy improved by a level.

Looking at the precise soul skill, Lin Chen immediately guessed that it was Huo Yuhao's doing.

However, he did not choose to confront them head-on at the moment, but instead withdrew his martial spirit.

Lingbo Weibu!

Lin Chen used the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) to dodge Wang Dong's soul skills time and time again, and importantly, he barely consumed any soul power.

"What kind of footwork is this? Even my mental detection can't predict Lin Chen's landing point," Huo Yuhao thought in surprise.

Du Weiren, standing in the stands, remarked, "There are quite a few little monsters this year."

"Sharpness revealed, longsword unleashed!" Lin Chen summoned his martial spirit again, using his first and second soul skills to blast Huo Yuhao.

"Soul Impact!"

Lin Chen felt a violent jolt in his mind, followed by a needle-like pain that made him unable to think. His first soul skill missed Huo Yuhao.

Wang Dong seized the opportunity and unleashed his first soul skill, "Winged Guillotine."

By the time Lin Chen realized what was happening, it was too late; he was immediately taken away from the examination area by the proctor.

The remaining two against three lost without any suspense.

"The chosen ones are still the chosen ones; our team's strength is still inferior to theirs," Lin Chen thought to himself.

For him, admitting that others are better than him is not difficult at all. Well, he's thick-skinned anyway, and he can live his life comfortably as long as he's content.

As for face, what is that?

"Huo Yuhao's team wins!" the referee announced.

In the cafeteria, the two teams that had just played against each other sat together eating.

"Lin Chen, what kind of footwork was that just now?" Huo Yuhao asked.

"A movement technique I created myself, called Lingbo Weibu."

After all, time travel was such a shocking thing that Lin Chen could only reluctantly take the blame himself.

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "A self-created soul skill?!"

Lin Chen nodded.

"Lin Chen, you're amazing. I wonder when I'll be able to create my own soul skill," Huo Yuhao said sincerely.

Lin Chen: (Something flashed through his mind at this moment)

After the meal, everyone went back to their dormitories to rest.

"What's wrong, Mingxing? You seem a bit down?" Lin Chen asked Zhou Mingxing in the dorm. Zhou Mingxing's expression had been somewhat unnatural during dinner, as if he was hiding something. However, since everyone was present, Lin Chen hadn't felt comfortable asking.

"That Huang Chutian comes from the Huang family, one of the families on good terms with my family. He often mocks me, both openly and subtly," Zhou Mingxing said, clenching his fist. "Brother Lin, could you hand him over to me tomorrow?"

Lin Chen hesitated for a moment. Deep down, he didn't want anything to happen to his good friend.

"I know you're more than that. Even if I lose, I still have you and Xiaolei. Today we were fighting the class monitor and the others, so you definitely didn't use your full strength. Otherwise, the class monitor and the others would have gotten hurt too."

Lin Chen glanced at Zhou Mingxing with some surprise. This kid could actually tell that he hadn't used his full strength.

However, he still said, "But... he's a powerful offensive Soul Master. Are you up to the task?"

"No problem, Brother Lin. This is my personal matter. If I don't fight him, my family won't approve of me. I don't want my father and mother to suffer so much pressure for me. I have to do something myself, right?" Zhou Mingxing said with a forced smile.

"Okay, then be careful tomorrow."

"Um."

"Xiao Xiao, good luck! We're waiting for you to win the championship." The next day, in the girls' dormitory, Lin Xiaolei held Xiao Xiao's hand and said.

"Hehe, Leilei, you guys should keep it up too," Xiao Xiao said to Lin Xiaolei with a smile.

As soon as they stepped outside, Lin Chen and Zhou Mingxing ran into Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.

"Good morning, class monitor," Lin Chen greeted first.

Good morning! Good luck in the game!

"Yes, you too."

After the four teams joined together, Huo Yuhao's team and Dai Huabin's team were taken to one Soul Battle Arena, while Lin Chen's team and Huang Chutian's team were taken to another.

"Hey, isn't this Zhou Mingxing? I didn't expect to run into you in a competition like this. If it weren't for your teammates, you would probably have been kicked out of Shrek Academy long ago." On the Soul Battle Stage, Huang Chutian mocked Zhou Mingxing as always.

Zhou Mingxing had already clenched his fists.

Listening to Huang Chutian's words, Lin Chen said: This PUA technique is really something.

"However, your good luck ends here. I will defeat you with my own hands, and I imagine Uncle Zhou's status in our families will decline a bit. At that time, your Zhou family's shops will have to give up a portion to our Huang family."

"The match begins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Chutian instantly activated his martial spirit, growing taller to two meters.

"Xiaolei, let's deal with Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo first." After saying that, Lin Chen summoned the Seven Kill Sword and rushed towards Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo.

"Huh? This..." Lin Xiaolei exclaimed in surprise.

On the other side, Zhou Mingxing and Huang Chutian faced off.

"Oh, I didn't expect your teammates to abandon you and hold me back. What a stupid tactic," Huang Chutian mocked.

Zhou Mingxing's eyes were filled with disgust.

"What kind of look is that? Even if you don't die today, you'll be crippled!" Huang Chutian shouted angrily after noticing Zhou Mingxing's gaze, and then rushed out.

Zhou Mingxing neither dodged nor evaded, but took out a level-two soul-guided sword, amplified it with his own mango dumplings, and slashed at Huang Chutian.

"First Soul Skill, Mighty Vajra Fist!"

With a "bang," Huang Chutian remained motionless, while Zhou Mingxing staggered back several steps, spitting out blood.

After all, he is a food-type Soul Master, and his physical fitness is not as good as that of a battle Soul Master. Moreover, Huang Chutian possesses the Mighty Ape Martial Soul with copper skin and iron bones.

Huang Chutian, emboldened by his advantage, continued to charge at Zhou Mingxing, swinging his fists.

Zhou Mingxing took out a defensive soul tool and struggled to withstand Huang Chutian's attack.

On the other side, Lin Chen and Lin Xiaolei also faced off against the Lan sisters, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo. Lin Chen took the lead in attacking, while Lin Xiaolei provided support from the side.

Lin Chen unleashed sword energy, easily slicing through Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo's hair. Coupled with Lin Xiaolei's occasional control, the two were under immense pressure.

"We must hold out until Huang Chutian defeats that food-type Soul Master on the other side," someone said, though it was unclear whether it was Lan Susu or Lan Luoluo.

The other person nodded, and the two of them instantly put their palms together.

"Oh no, it's a Martial Soul Fusion Technique!" Lin Xiaolei said anxiously, while trying to activate her second Soul Skill to stop them from fusing.

"It's too late!" Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo's voices came at the same time.

"Soul Fusion Skill, Heavenly Net!"

In an instant, countless strands of hair surrounded Lin Chen and Lin Xiaolei, leaving no room for them. Lin Chen, wielding the Seven Kill Sword, slashed down at the Heavenly Net.

The net of heaven and earth remained unmoved, while Lin Chen's hand holding the Seven Kill Sword trembled slightly.

"I can't even cut it down," Lin Chen thought to himself.

"Xiaolei, step back a little," Lin Chen said to Lin Xiaolei.

The latter nodded and stepped back several meters.

Two spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, appeared on Lin Chen's body and then exploded.

Lin Xiaolei was dumbfounded when she saw this.
