Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 207 Seclusion

Ahem... As for saying before that he was confident of breaking through to the god level, that was just to get Qian Renxue on board.

Lin Chen's actual confidence level was no more than 40%.

However, Lin Chen is 90% confident in finding the divine inheritance. The difficulty lies in getting past Tang Shenwang or breaking through to godhood himself, both of which are very difficult.

More than ten days later, Lin Chen's cultivation officially broke through level 89, just one step away from becoming a Title Douluo.

However, Lin Chen also sensed that enormous bottleneck.

Thinking back, Zhang Lexuan's bottleneck was no different from mine. If I hadn't given her the magic herb, it would probably have taken her a long time to break through.

The closer you get to this point, the more difficult it becomes to improve your cultivation. Even with the incredible speed boost after reaching level 70 with the ultimate martial soul, there will still be bottlenecks at each major stage.

Lin Chen decided to enter a full-scale seclusion now.

Breaking through the bottleneck of becoming a Title Douluo requires a significant amount of time.

At that moment, Lin Chen leaped into the air and flew towards Zhang Lexuan's house.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Lexuan asked when she saw Lin Chen coming to find her.

"Sister Lexuan, I need a quiet and natural place to go into seclusion. I've already sensed that I've hit a bottleneck," Lin Chen said directly, stating his purpose.

"Come with me."

Lin Chen followed Zhang Lexuan, but instead of going to the Sea God Pavilion, they flew to a small mountain on Sea God Island.

Zhang Lexuan knew that Lin Chen didn't like that kind of place.

The area of ​​pristine ecosystem on Poseidon Island is still quite large.

"This is it." Lin Chen nodded and said, quite satisfied with the place.

Just as Zhang Lexuan was about to leave, Lin Chen suddenly grabbed her hand.

"Hmm?" Zhang Lexuan turned around and looked at Lin Chen with a puzzled expression.

Lin Chen took out the pair of rings he had bought at the morning market and held them out in his palm.

Zhang Lexuan's pupils dilated instantly.

"What are you doing...?"

"Hehe, Sister Lexuan, these are a pair of rings I bought at the morning market in Mingdu the other day. The ring with a sword engraved on it is mine, and the one with the moon is yours," Lin Chen said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan's face flushed red.

But she still reached out and took the ring with the moon engraved on it from Lin Chen's palm.

The two smiled at each other and each helped the other slip the ring onto their ring finger.

"Alright, you should go into seclusion now. I'll come find you if anything comes up," Zhang Lexuan said, her face flushed.

"Hmm." Lin Chen nodded, then sat down on the spot and entered into deep meditation.

Looking at Lin Chen, Zhang Lexuan's eyes were filled with undisguised tenderness.

Seeing how outstanding her man was, Zhang Lexuan felt very proud.

This time, Lin Chen not only needs to break through to the Title Douluo level, but also needs to absorb the divinely bestowed soul ring and condense his second soul core, so the seclusion period will not be short.

The Life Domain opened on its own, and the rich life energy around him flowed into Lin Chen's body like rivers converging into the sea, making him feel very comfortable.

Zhuang Yusen, who was inside the Sea God Pavilion, naturally sensed this change and immediately rushed towards Lin Chen.

Seeing Zhang Lexuan there, he asked, "Lexuan, what's going on?"

"Elder Zhuang, this is Lin Chen's life domain, which allows him to convert life energy into his own. He has just activated this domain," Zhang Lexuan explained.

"The realm of life, what a magnificent realm of life!" Zhuang Yusen exclaimed.

He himself is the Life Douluo, and apart from Lin Chen, no one has a deeper understanding of this field than him.

Zhuang Yusen looked at Lin Chen with undisguised admiration in his eyes.

"Elder Zhuang, do we really not need to send anyone to the Sun Moon Empire?" Zhang Lexuan asked. After all, those people from the Tang Clan were Shrek Academy's elites, and if something happened to them, it would be a huge loss for Shrek Academy.

Zhuang Yusen shook his head and said, "It's not that we don't want to send people over there, but even if we did, it would be useless! All the super Douluo like Elder Xuan and Yan Shaozhe have gone. The only ones left to guard the academy are Gong Changlong and another level 92 titled Douluo. If even Elder Xuan and the others can't handle it, what's the point of sending more people? Besides, there's a sect of evil soul masters there. The academy is currently vulnerable and needs manpower to guard it, so there's no need to send anyone over." Zhuang Yusen stared at Zhang Lexuan and said.

Zhang Lexuan naturally understood that the vital force Zhuang Lao was referring to was her.

At the same time, he caught a glimpse of the ring on Zhang Lexuan's right ring finger, smiled, and said, "I'm going back first. There are a lot of things waiting for me to take care of at the academy."

Days passed by, and everything proceeded smoothly. Lin Chen remained in seclusion, and Zhang Lexuan would occasionally bring Tang Xiaoyan to visit him.

Eight months later...

The Sun and Moon Empire.

"Actually, I really like you the way you are now. You don't resist now, you can only silently endure. I so want to be with you forever! Thank you, Yuhao, you finally told me that I have a place in your heart. I didn't experience your human love in vain after all. Perhaps, I've become more human now. Yuhao, thank you. Perhaps, this is the best ending for us. No matter what, we will never be separated again." Wang Qiu'er looked into Huo Yuhao's eyes and spoke with increasing tenderness.

Golden light danced around Wang Qiu'er. Nan Shuishui and Nan Qiuqiu, who were also protected by this golden light, were surprised to find that their bodies had become as still as statues.

They also saw that the golden light emanating from Wang Qiu'er's body actually took on a flame-like shape, and at the same moment, the world lost all its brilliance.

Wang Qiu'er began to blur. She transformed into a humanoid ball of light, and then, starting from the point where her forehead touched Huo Yuhao, she melted and seeped into Huo Yuhao's body...

"No! Qiu'er..." Huo Yuhao couldn't shout because his lips were still being kissed by Wang Qiu'er.

At that moment, Nan Shuishui and her daughter Nan Qiuqiu clearly heard his shouts. It was a frantic shout originating from the spiritual world, yet it could not stop the almost sacred ritual before them.

As the light and shadow merged in, Wang Qiu'er, like molten gold, gently spread over every part of Huo Yuhao's body, softly blending in and rendering his entire being golden.

The light and shadow floating above Huo Yuhao's head disappeared silently, and the burning flame of his spirit was extinguished by the golden light that merged into it.

As Wang Qiu'er's body melted, she left behind an illusory image, still the same as before, but now transparent. Behind her, the shadow of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion flickered, set against a backdrop of a gigantic vertical eye.

At this moment, she was looking up at the sky, her three eyes filled with contentment.
