Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 130 The Return Journey

Why did Lin Chen hide his spirit rings? It was because he didn't want others to discover that he possessed numerous 100,000-year spirit rings when he was weak.

Imagine when you were still a Soul Master. Not to mention a Title Douluo, even a Soul Douluo or a Soul Saint would probably want to kill you if they saw you had numerous 100,000-year soul rings. No one knows how you got your 100,000-year soul rings. They only know that 100,000-year soul beasts must produce soul bones, and you, who possess 100,000-year soul rings, must have fused with 100,000-year soul bones.

This is a treasure in the world of Soul Masters, even more precious than external Soul Bones. Who wouldn't be envious?

Killing a Soul Master is incredibly easy for a Soul Saint, even if that Soul Master possesses a 100,000-year-old Soul Ring and Soul Bone; the chances are extremely slim. The difference in Soul Power is an insurmountable chasm. No matter how many skills you have, if your Soul Power is low, you cannot unleash their full potential and therefore cannot threaten someone with strong Soul Power.

Even if Lin Chen has two 100,000-year soul rings that haven't produced soul bones, who would listen? And even if they did, wouldn't the remaining two soul bones be attractive?

The answer is clearly no; many powerful individuals will still covet those two 100,000-year-old soul bones.

As for Mingdu's participation in the competition, Lin Chen still needs to hide his spirit rings unless he breaks through to the Title Douluo level, but that possibility is really small.

The reason is simple: the Sun Moon Empire has numerous Super Douluo-level evil soul masters, and even two Limit Douluo-level beings are stationed there. Without two soul cores, Lin Chen isn't confident he can escape from them unless he uses Qian Renxue's power.

Although Lin Chen's attack power could be raised to the level of a Limit Douluo, a Limit Douluo is still a Limit Douluo; all aspects must be at the Limit Douluo level. Reaching the Limit Douluo level in only one aspect is far from enough. Lin Chen can only rely on this to deal with those stronger than Limit Douluo.

Don't be fooled by Huo Yuhao's previous escape from Long Xiaoyao; it was only because they made a bet. The bet was that Huo Yuhao would win if he could make Long Xiaoyao move even half an inch. If it had been a life-or-death duel between Long Xiaoyao and Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao wouldn't have had a chance at all, and the story of Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect would have ended immediately.

Therefore, caution is still necessary.

But it's different once you condense a second soul core. The power of a soul core is immense, and it can completely make up for the gap in soul power.

If Lin Chen, who has condensed his second soul core, were to fight Zhongli Wu, who is at level 98, Lin Chen would be confident of winning the match.

Feeling Zhang Lexuan's gaze fixed on him, and the many eyes focused on him, Lin Chen had no choice but to admit, "I exhausted all my trump cards and barely managed to kill her."

After saying that, he released his spirit ring.

However, Lin Chen still hid the spirit rings in front of him, revealing a spirit ring combination of yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, and red, which was still quite amazing.

Wang Qiu'er looked at Lin Chen's soul ring configuration, seemingly lost in thought.

Before anyone else could say anything, Zhang Lexuan had already reached Lin Chen, grabbed his wrist, and channeled her soul power into his body to examine his condition.

Lin Chen couldn't resist Zhang Lexuan's actions, after all, he was the one who had wronged her by coming to the Star Dou Great Forest without her knowledge, and Zhang Lexuan's actions were also out of concern that Lin Chen might suffer some aftereffects.

After checking and confirming that there were no hidden injuries, Zhang Lexuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Chen's classmates were not puzzled by their senior sister's actions; on the contrary, they were very concerned.

At that moment, Xiao Xiao asked Zhang Lexuan, "Senior Sister, is Xiao Tu injured at all?"

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er's gazes also fell on Zhang Lexuan.

"I just checked, and there are no hidden injuries or aftereffects," Zhang Lexuan said.

"That's good."

After resting for half a night, the group set off again early the next morning, moving as quickly as possible away from the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. They then emerged from the Star Dou Great Forest in less than two days.

"Ah, finally out!" Li Yongyue shouted.

Upon emerging from the forest and seeing the vast plains, the Shrek Academy members on this mission couldn't help but feel as if they had been reborn.

Yes, after so many days, they finally came out. Everyone who needed a spirit ring successfully obtained it.

The feeling of complete relaxation and exhilaration filled everyone's faces with a sense of relief, even Vice Dean Cai Meier was no exception. Although they were lucky, this trip was not entirely smooth sailing! The fact that the entire team was able to escape unscathed from the Zhongli brothers was largely due to luck.

Of course, Lin Chen was an exception, because he didn't encounter any danger at all this time.

It can't be said that he didn't have any. Perhaps Lin Chen has taken it all in stride. Over the years, he has faced life and death several times, which has given him his current strength and a new understanding of life and death.

Seeing them cheering and jumping for joy, Lin Chen's heart also brightened.

"Alright, don't relax too much. You can celebrate when you get back to the academy. Let's hurry back while it's still early so I can relax a bit too," Cai Meier said with a smile.

"Yes!" the crowd answered in unison, their voices filled with joy.

For the next stretch of the journey, the group walked exceptionally fast. Before dusk, they finally saw the familiar city and the familiar gate.

"Ah, finally back!" Li Yongyue shouted in relief, then burst into laughter. He was extremely satisfied with his gains! With the Soul Skill "Thunderous Roar," it was like having an extra burst Soul Skill for him, a speed-attack type Soul Master, and it also had a certain degree of control. This would definitely have an impact on his future development.

Everyone eagerly rushed into the gates of Shrek Academy, except for Wang Qiu'er, Lin Chen, Zhang Lexuan, and Cai Mei'er.

"I sighed deeply. Life and death are just like this! Sometimes, life and death are truly beyond the control of us mortals." Looking at the crowd rushing into the academy gate, Lin Chen sighed.

Wang Qiu'er stared blankly at everyone, lost in thought.

Hearing Lin Chen's sigh, Zhang Lexuan came to his side and asked, "Is something on your mind?"

Lin Chen smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, it's just that seeing how they survived the ordeal reminded me of my own experiences over the years, and it just came to mind."

Zhang Lexuan gently patted Lin Chen's back to reassure him, as if she had forgotten what she had been thinking about on the way.

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "What's wrong, Sister Lexuan? I'm not sad. You're making me sound so fragile!"
