Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 196 Advancing to the Finals

The enormous Lu Genggeng swung his fleshy arm and threw a punch at Wang Qiu'er. At the same time, Tang Dai, who had turned into a skeleton king, also attacked Wang Qiu'er.

Although the Skeleton King cannot attack from a distance, his melee combat ability is terrifyingly strong.

As their fists collided, Lu Genggeng's massive body staggered backward, causing quite a tremor on the competition stage.

At the same time, Tang Dai's attack reached behind Wang Qiu'er. Wang Qiu'er was injured. A flash of light appeared, and she held the Golden Dragon Spear in her hand. She swept the spear horizontally to block Tang Dai's outstretched skeletal claw.

Wang Qiu'er was not afraid at all, and with her golden dragon spear in hand, she engaged the two in close combat.

Wang Qiu'er's physical strength was far beyond what these evil soul masters could match. Now, Wang Qiu'er had used her sixth soul skill, and her physical strength soared once again. Although she was fighting two against one, she still managed to force Lu Genggeng and Tang Dai to retreat in defeat.

Just then, Gu Yu summoned several skulls to attack Wang Qiu'er.

Golden soul power emanated from Wang Qiu'er's body, and a golden dragon condensed behind her. As Wang Qiu'er swung the tip of her spear, the golden dragon roared and charged forward, shattering all the skulls in its path, heading straight for Gu Yu.

While using her sixth soul skill, Wang Qiu'er's body also grew larger in the wind, and her height was almost the same as Lu Genggeng's in the Tang Dynasty.

However, Wang Qiu'er's gigantification was not ugly at all. She grew evenly all over, so she was still as beautiful as before.

With her first and second spirit rings shining brightly, Wang Qiu'er's combat power rose to another level.

However, Gu Yu's long-range attacks were really annoying to her and also consumed a lot of her soul power.

However, Lin Chen solved this problem for her in the next moment.

After defeating Yan Feng and Tang Ya, Lin Chen appeared behind Gu Yu in the next instant and slashed out with his sword.

"Gu Yu, be careful!" Yan Feng hurriedly warned, while simultaneously gathering soul power in his palm, and a thick layer of ice instantly appeared in front of Gu Yu.

Yan Feng's ice attribute is also imbued with vengeful and evil energy. This is mainly because his bone dragon grows by devouring flesh and blood. Therefore, his ice attribute is also known as the evil ice attribute.

Tang Ya also released a blue silver cage, trapping Gu Yu inside.

There was no other way to defend against it.

With a cold snort, Lin Chen instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning, slamming into the blue silver cage. The cage shattered into pieces, and the layer of evil ice in front of Gu Yu also broke apart.

At this moment, Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass had reached Lin Chen's feet, and Yan Feng also flapped his bone wings and rushed to Lin Chen's side.

Lin Chen unleashed sword energy once more, shattering all the Blue Silver Grass into pieces. At the same time, he turned around and unleashed five dark golden claw-like rays from his right hand.

Yan Feng clearly sensed the terror of the five claw-like rays and immediately used his ability, creating seven thick ice barriers in front of him.

Lin Chen ignored Yan Feng and headed straight for Gu Yu.

Seeing this, Tang Ya's fourth spirit ring flashed, and tough, dark blue silver grass stabbed towards Lin Chen.

It was the Blue Silver Thrust Formation.

However, as a Dark Blue Silver Grass, this Blue Silver Spike Array also has the effects of being highly poisonous and devouring. It is extremely troublesome for Soul Masters of the same level, and once injured, they will fall into a vicious cycle.

But it was ineffective against Lin Chen.

Lin Chen spun around, like a sharp sword, severing all the dark blue silver grass in the blue silver spike array. In just a few seconds, he broke through layers of defense and reached Gu Yu.

With a swing of his sword, Gu Yu hurriedly picked up his bone staff to block, but how could his frail bone staff possibly withstand Lin Chen's Seven Kill Sword?

The Seven Kill Sword encountered no resistance and directly cleaved the bone staff in Gu Yu's hand in two, causing Gu Yu to cough up a mouthful of blood.

When a martial spirit is shattered, it will naturally suffer a backlash.

With another sword strike, Lin Chen ended Gu Yu's life, then turned to face Yan Feng.

Without Gu Yu's interference, Tang Dai and Lu Genggeng were immediately forced into retreat by Wang Qiu'er.

Yan Feng was in no better shape at this point, already suffering from double injuries. Lin Chen's external soul bone skill had reached the attack power of a high-level Super Douluo, and it was a miracle that Yan Feng had survived.

When he saw Lin Chen charging towards him again, he immediately shouted, "We surrender! We surrender!"

On the other side, Wang Qiu'er had just dealt with Lu Genggeng and was about to continue when she heard Yan Feng begging for mercy.

Tang Ya didn't say anything, which was taken as tacit agreement with Yan Feng's words.

"Shrek Academy vs. Holy Spirit Sect, team battle, Shrek Academy wins and advances to the finals!" Zheng Zhan announced.

Lin Chen and Wang Qiu'er exchanged a glance, nodded to each other, and then turned and walked off the competition stage.

"I won't be going tomorrow. You can decide what to do yourself. We're all on the same side anyway," Lin Chen said.

"Don't you want to fight with Huo Yuhao and the others?" Wang Qiu'er asked.

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "If you want to fight Huo Yuhao, don't drag me into it. I have no interest in that. I don't like fighting and killing. Drinking tea, fishing, and watching a show—aren't those better than fighting and killing?"

Wang Qiu'er was speechless...

Back in the rest area, everyone cheered to welcome Lin Chen and Wang Qiu'er. Two against seven, and they won!

That's absolutely amazing.

"Alright, everyone, let's go back now. Lin Chen and Wang Qiu'er need to rest," Zhang Lexuan said.

The senior sister's authority was on full display as the crowd escorted the two back to the Mingyue Hotel.

On the top floor of the Mingyue Grand Hotel, Xuanzi and many other titled Douluo who had come to Mingdu were already waiting there.

"You guys go back first, I have something to discuss with Le Xuan and Lin Chen," Xuan Zi said to the Shrek Academy members who had just returned.

The Shrek members obediently went back to their rooms.

Xuanzi cut to the chase and said, "What are your thoughts? We've decided to join forces with Du Busi tonight to take action against Xu Tianran."

Zhang Lexuan didn't answer Xuanzi's question, but instead asked, "Do you need my help?"

Xuanzi shook his head and said, "Protecting their safety is the most important thing. Shao Zhe will be in charge of assassinating Xu Tianran."

Lin Chen glanced at Yan Shaozhe with some surprise. In the original story, Yan Shaozhe was supposed to stay behind at Shrek Academy.

As if seeing through Lin Chen's thoughts, Yan Shaozhe said, "I came over as soon as you came back last time. The Sun Moon Empire's actions this time are probably not simple."

Lin Chen nodded and stated his opinion: "On the surface, the west is indeed the best point of escape."

Except for Zhang Lexuan, everyone nodded in agreement, also believing that the west side was the best choice.

"but!"

Everyone was somewhat taken aback. They could all understand what Lin Chen meant. Even Xuanzi thought that the west side of Mingdu was the safest, yet Lin Chen thought that the west side of Mingdu was not a safe route.

Xuanzi had already investigated, and there was indeed no problem in the west!
