Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 14 An Attack from the Royal Family

The end of the freshman competition meant that Lin Chen's life returned to its usual routine: the cafeteria, classroom, dormitory, and street vending.

A school year passed quickly, and Lin Chen also raised his soul power to the peak of level 28.

"Two rings are the minimum requirement for second-year students. If anyone hasn't obtained their second soul ring by the end of the holiday, then they don't need to come next semester," Zhou Yi said, and then announced the end of get out of class.

The students left the classroom, playing around.

Just like when summer vacation starts in high school, the afternoon of summer vacation is always especially exciting.

"Class monitor, Wang Dong, see you next semester." After saying goodbye to Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao left Class 1 classroom.

"Xiao Xiao, over here." Lin Xiaolei waved to Xiao Xiao, who quickly ran over.

"Xiao Tu, Xiao Xing." Xiao Xiao greeted Zhou Mingxing and Lin Chen when she saw them there.

After the freshman assessment, Zhou Mingxing was assigned to Class 3, which mainly consisted of support-type and food-type soul masters. However, he did not change his dormitory and remained Lin Chen's roommate. He had already obtained his second soul ring.

"Are you going home together?" Lin Chen asked.

"Yes, Leilei and I both live in the same city."

"Okay, goodbye then," Lin Chen said succinctly.

"Little Tu, I'm currently at level 27, my peak level. Don't let me surpass you when you come back from vacation."

"Okay, okay, okay..."

That evening, in his dormitory, Lin Chen sat cross-legged and put a Soul-Ascending Pill into his mouth, slowly absorbing its medicinal power.

This was something Lin Chen bought from Jubaoge before. He also had it rated and obtained a credit line of 100,000. So he spent 10,000 silver dollars to buy a Soul Ascension Pill.

Two hours later, Lin Chen's soul power broke through to the peak of level 29.

Feeling his soul power break through, Lin Chen did not stop cultivating. He planned to take this opportunity to break through to level 30 in one fell swoop, and then go to obtain a soul ring.

"Is Brother Lin breaking through to level 30?" Zhou Mingxing, who was standing next to him, guessed what Lin Chen was thinking.

He sat there for a full seven days.

Seven days later, Lin Chen's body erupted with a powerful surge of soul power, clearly indicating that he had reached the Soul Venerable level.

This woke up Zhou Mingxing, who was fast asleep.

"Linlin, Brother Lin, you've broken through?"

"You haven't gone home yet?" Lin Chen asked, puzzled.

"I'll go back later, anyway I'll just get talked about when I get home," Zhou Mingxing said casually. But Lin Chen knew he cared a lot about this.

"Have I been meditating for several days?" Lin Chen asked.

"It's been seven days."

"..."

Outside the school gate, Lin Chen waved to Zhou Mingxing, who had already boarded the soul-guided train and driven away: "Goodbye, Mingxing!"

Taking a deep breath, it's time to acquire the third spirit ring.

Lin Chen set off alone on the road to the Star Dou Great Forest.

After five days of enduring wind and rain, Lin Chen arrived at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

There are many inns in this area, mainly catering to soul masters who come and go to hunt soul beasts.

Lin Chen entered a clean and tidy-looking shop, took out his gold soul coins, and said to the owner, "Boss, I'd like a soul beast meat set meal and a room."

"Alright, sir, please wait a moment, I'll go and make the arrangements right away."

A few minutes later, the owner handed Lin Chen a key and said, "Sir, this is your room. I've already had the package placed in your room."

"Yes, thank you for your trouble."

After a night of preparation, Lin Chen went straight into the area where the thousand-year-old soul beast was located.

The soul skill Lin Chen wanted was Sword Douluo's former fourth soul skill, Sword Shadows, a control skill that could create a vortex to prevent enemies from escaping.

After entering the area where the thousand-year-old soul beasts lived, Lin Chen also saw several soul beasts with a cultivation level of about 1,700 to 1,800 years.

"The age limit is too low." Lin Chen shook his head and then entered the deeper Star Dou Great Forest.

……

Tianlin City Prince's Mansion

"Big brother, everything is ready. Lin Chen should already be in the Star Dou Great Forest," Wang Zhong said.

Wang Zhong is Wang Lei's younger brother, a level 62 Soul Emperor, whose strength is second only to his elder brother Wang Lei in the Wang family.

"Second brother, this time you will take two Soul Kings with you and make sure to kill the remaining members of the Lin family!" Wang Lei said solemnly.

"Yes, brother." Then Wang Zhong set off with two Soul Kings from the Wang family.

……

Two days have passed in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Lingbo Weibu!" At this moment, Lin Chen was fighting with a ghost tiger.

Lin Chen used the Lingbo Weibu technique to dodge the continuous attacks from Gui Hu and his shadow clones.

This ghost tiger has a cultivation of about five thousand years. Although it is several hundred or a thousand years more than he expected, Lin Chen felt that it was still worth a try, after all, he had already walked through the gates of hell once.

"I need to figure out which one is the real body," Lin Chen thought to himself.

"First Soul Skill, Longsword Emerges from the Peak!"

Five Seven Kill Swords were summoned and thrust towards the five ghost tigers respectively. This attack did not use much soul power and was a probing attack by Lin Linchen.

The four ghost tigers vanished rapidly, transforming into four streams of light that merged into the main body. The moment they merged, the ghost tigers' speed suddenly increased, easily dodging the Seven Kill Sword that was thrusting towards them, and pounced towards Lin Chen.

The latter smiled slightly and said, "The Wall of Imprisonment!"

This is a level 5 defensive and control-type soul tool that can forcibly control the enemy for three seconds while providing defense.

Before setting off, Lin Chen asked Zhou Mingxing to borrow a soul tool, but Zhou Mingxing said that because only level two soul tools could be used in the Freshman Competition, all the soul tools he bought were level two. So he simply gave Lin Chen a black card and told him to buy one himself. This made Lin Chen's face twitch for a whole day.

The barrier of confinement transformed into iron chains, forcibly restraining the ghost tiger. Lin Chen seized the opportunity, using his second soul skill to amplify himself, and then used his first soul skill to end the ghost tiger's life.

Lin Chen led the Ghost Tiger to a relatively desolate place. After confirming that there were no soul beasts or soul masters around, he sat cross-legged and began to absorb the soul ring of this five-thousand-year-old Ghost Tiger.

Two hours later, Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, the Seven Kill Sword floating in front of him had been fitted with three soul rings, and Lin Chen's soul power had also risen to level 31.

Just as Lin Chen was still immersed in joy, a soul skill was suddenly launched at him. Lin Chen hurriedly dodged, but his arm was still injured.

"Damn it, that kid managed to dodge it."

It was Wang Zhong who attacked him.

Wang Zhong and his two companions had long since arrived in the Star Dou Great Forest to search for Lin Chen, but they did not expect that Lin Chen, who had only obtained his third soul ring, would go so deep. Just now, at the last moment when Lin Chen was absorbing the soul ring, Wang Zhong and his companions passed by this place, saw Lin Chen's Seven Kill Sword, and immediately recognized Lin Chen and attacked him.

They thought they could kill him with one blow, but Lin Chen just happened to wake up.

Lin Chen turned around and saw that there were two other people next to the person who attacked him.

"Who are you?" Lin Chen asked in a chilling tone.

Wang Zhong sneered and said disdainfully, "Boy, you can go down and join your people too."

As he spoke, he and the two Soul Kings beside him simultaneously activated their Soul Rings.
