Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 127 Three Skills Combined

Upon seeing Lin Chen, the group of people all ran towards Lin Chen's back.

The soul beast did not hesitate at all upon seeing the Seven Kill Sword, and continued to pounce on the team.

However, the last support-type Soul Emperor was still too slow, and in the blink of an eye, the Soul Beast pounced on him again.

Just as the sharp claws were about to grab the Soul Emperor, at the critical moment, a Seven Kill Sword surged out from beside Lin Chen again, shooting towards the Soul Beast.

Just as it was about to hit, the soul beast used the same trick again. A silver light surged up in front of it, and the Seven Kill Sword entered the silver light, already behind the soul beast.

In that instant, Lin Chen lost all sense of the Seven Kill Sword he had just summoned.

"What kind of soul beast is this that can make me lose my sense of the Seven Kill Sword?!" Lin Chen exclaimed in shock.

However, this period did not last long.

Lin Chen's mental strength was incredibly powerful; the moment he sensed the Seven Kill Sword reappear, he had already regained control of it.

With a thought, the Seven Kill Sword behind the soul beast suddenly turned sharply and headed back towards the soul beast.

He probably knew that he couldn't escape the Seven Kill Sword's pursuit with this method, so he changed direction and rushed towards the Seven Kill Sword flying towards him.

At the same time, a silver light surged up from the head of the soul beast again, but this time it was not used for teleportation, but for defense.

"Using spatial power for defense, this soul beast actually has such a method!" Lin Chen was surprised again.

While feeling surprised, she instantly appeared in front of the support-type Soul Emperor whose life was hanging by a thread. She grabbed the back of his clothes with one hand and threw him towards the rest of their team. The Soul Emperor had no power to resist, even though she knew that Lin Chen was saving him.

The captain quickly stepped forward and caught the Soul Emperor.

Lin Chen didn't even glance at them. Eight spirit rings, one yellow, one purple, one black ...

"You guys go first, leave this to me," Lin Chen said in a deep voice with his back to the group.

"Thank you very much, senior! I'll leave it to you then." The captain said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

Lin Chen nodded and said nothing more.

"Let's go!" the captain said to the group.

Led by their captain, the team members left the area one by one.

Only Lin Chen and the soul beast remained in the vicinity, locked in a standoff.

The Seven Kill Sword collided with the silver barrier but failed to penetrate it completely, leaving only shallow cracks.

"This is the power of space. I didn't expect this soul beast to be able to use the power of space for defense. It's normal that you can't break through the barrier formed by the power of space," Qian Renxue said.

She had previously advanced to the god level, so she had some understanding of spatial power.

"Then how can we break through his defenses?" Lin Chen asked in a deep voice.

"An attack power reaching level 98, the titled Douluo, can make their spatial power unstable. Only by reaching the Limit Douluo level can one tear through the void and break the spatial power," Qian Renxue replied.

Lin Chen nodded, and his fifth, first, and second spirit rings lit up simultaneously, but they did not explode.

Three spirit rings were successively attached to the Seven Kill Sword, and powerful bolts of lightning also condensed on the sword, causing the Seven Kill Sword's attack power to increase at an astonishing rate.

A few seconds later, Lin Chen, wielding the Seven Kill Sword, suddenly charged towards the soul beast.

"Three skills combined into one, a thunderous strike cleaves the heavens!"

At the same time, the lightning power emanating from the Seven Kill Sword instantly destroyed the surrounding vegetation, and Lin Chen's Seven Kill Domain had already been released.

This was a secret inner court technique of Shrek Academy that Lin Chen had learned from Yan Shaozhe. Yan Shaozhe had taught Lin Chen, his prized student, everything he knew, without reservation, even though Lin Chen was only an outer court disciple. Therefore, Lin Chen naturally learned the essence of this secret technique, and this was the first time he had used it.

The soul beast had very keen senses. Suddenly, a silver light several times stronger than before erupted around its body. The specks of silver light transformed into a barrier, enveloping its body and giving it an almost indestructible appearance.

However, he was facing the indestructible Seven Kill Sword.

If it were an ordinary 40,000-year-old soul beast, Lin Chen could probably seriously injure it with a single casual strike. However, this soul beast is no ordinary beast; even a 100,000-year-old soul beast would find it extremely difficult to kill it.

Even ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beasts cannot easily break through his defenses. Only beings like the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear have a chance. Alternatively, one could use mental power to prevent him from controlling spatial power, but how could a soul beast that can control spatial power have weak mental power?

Actually, it all started with the extraordinary encounter of this soul beast.

When he was young, he was the weakest among his kind. Whenever another beast encountered him, he would become its prey. It could be said that everyone—no, every beast—wanted to kill him to fill their stomachs. But by sheer luck, he always managed to escape death. His greatest strength in escaping death was his spiritual power, which was stronger than that of other soul beasts. Fortunately, he was blessed by heaven. During one near-death experience, he escaped to a cave, where he found a core filled with spatial power.

As luck would have it, the moment he touched the core of the space, it merged directly into his body, and he was surprised to find that he could actually control the power of space through it.

With his powerful mental strength and spatial power complementing each other, he quickly became the most powerful being among all soul beasts of his kind, and even among all soul beasts of the same level.

So, the first thing he did after becoming stronger was to take revenge. With his powerful mental strength, he found all the soul beasts that had chased him before, whether they were of the same race or different races. As long as they had chased him, he had killed them all. The grass on the graves of some of the soul beasts was already taller than Lin Chen.

Those soul beasts naturally became his meal, but these weren't considered evil soul beasts. In the world of soul beasts, countless carnivorous soul beasts ate the flesh of the soul beasts they killed! Even Di Tian had eaten quite a few.

In the state of Lin Chen's three skills combined, his attack power has definitely reached the limit of Douluo. Although Lin Chen has hidden his spirit ring as a black ten-thousand-year spirit ring, its power is still at the level of a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring.

If all nine rings exploded simultaneously, the attack power would probably already be close to that level.

However, the gap between level 99 and that realm is like an insurmountable chasm. Lin Chen can't say for sure if he can reach it now, but at least reaching level 99 as a Limit Douluo is no problem. After all, the gap between level 98 and 99 is nothing compared to that insurmountable chasm.

"Bang!"
