Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 21 Shrek's Daily Life (Part 1)

Chen Zifeng turned around and saw that the Seven Kill Sword was already within reach.

At this moment, Chen Zifeng couldn't care less about the consumption of his soul power. "Fifth Soul Skill, Chaos!"

Chen Zifeng conjured several more sharp swords and thrust them towards Lin Chen with tremendous power.

Seeing Chen Zifeng unleash his fifth soul skill despite the depletion of his soul power, Lin Chen did not confront him head-on. Instead, he skillfully dodged Chen Zifeng's fifth soul skill once again using the Lingbo Weibu technique.

"Senior, your soul power is exhausted. It's my turn. Seven Kill Domain!"

With the release of the Seven Kill Domain, Chen Zifeng, whose soul power was already nearly depleted, was instantly suppressed to the bottom. At this moment, he was met with Lin Chen's first soul skill and several sword energies.

"Phoenix Fire Line!" From the stands, a phoenix fire line descended from the sky, blocking Lin Chen's attack.

"Lin Chen wins!" Yan Shaozhe announced.

In fact, even if Ma Xiaotao hadn't made a move, Lin Chen wouldn't have won so easily. In his attack just now, Lin Chen only used 70% of his soul power to test whether Chen Zifeng still had any soul power left. He didn't expect Ma Xiaotao to make a move right away.

"Senior, you flatter me." Lin Chen said to Chen Zifeng.

"Impressive, junior," Chen Zifeng said with a wry smile.

Lin Chen smiled slightly and said, "Senior, you flatter me. I only benefited from the advantage of the domain. Otherwise, even if you had very little soul power left, I wouldn't have won so easily."

"We'll practice together often from now on."

As an inner court disciple, Chen Zifeng possessed an indomitable spirit and a drive to climb ever higher. Had he not lost an arm, becoming a Title Douluo would have been almost a certainty.

Lin Chen: ...

"Lin Chen," Yan Shaozhe called from the stands.

Lin Chen quickly flew up on the Seven Kill Sword.

"To have already achieved something at such a young age, very good. Your performance is truly remarkable. You can stay." Yan Shaozhe did not hold back his praise.

"Thanks to the academy's guidance. Dean, senior, I'll head back now."

Yan Shaozhe and Ma Xiaotao nodded.

"This kid's pretty strong. I'll have a go at him sometime." A fighting spirit ignited in Ma Xiaotao's eyes.

"You little rascal..." Yan Shaozhe sighed and rubbed his forehead. Over the years, Ma Xiaotao's personality had left Yan Shaozhe speechless.

Lin Chen returned to the classroom just in time for break time.

"Xiao Tu, how is it? How is it?" Xiao Xiao asked, bringing her face closer.

"Nonsense, when I make a move, I practically take them down instantly." Lin Chen also put on an act.

"You're getting cocky. How about we have a fight?" Wang Dong said, somewhat unconvinced.

"I won't fight, I'm not as good as you." Lin Chen quickly refused.

"No! We have to fight!"

……

After finally getting through the morning classes, Lin Chen stepped out of the classroom and saw Zhang Lexuan standing quietly in the corridor.

The senior sister was still the same senior sister, with her face still bearing a cold expression.

However, it looks a bit strange.

Lin Xiaolei and Zhou Mingxing also saw Zhang Lexuan, so Lin Xiaolei went up to her and asked, "Xiaotu, who is she?"

Before Lin Chen could answer, Zhang Lexuan flashed a gentle smile, displaying the demeanor expected of a senior disciple, and said, "Hello, I'm Lin Chen's friend. May I speak with him for a few minutes?"

"Okay, okay, then we'll be going now," Lin Xiaolei quickly replied. The girl in front of her had a temperament that was not something an ordinary person could possess. As a member of a powerful family, Lin Xiaolei was naturally well-informed and knowledgeable.

"Come with me," Zhang Lexuan said indifferently, her words devoid of any emotion.

Reaching a dark corner, Zhang Lexuan tapped Lin Chen's forehead impatiently and asked fiercely, "What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly disappear?"

Lin Chen was in pain, but he couldn't stand up straight in front of Zhang Lexuan, so he had no choice but to obediently tell her what had happened.

"A five-thousand-year-old soul beast? Are you crazy?" Zhang Lexuan couldn't sit still when she heard that Lin Chen had risked absorbing a five-thousand-year-old soul beast.

"Oh, Sister Lexuan, when have I ever done anything without being sure? It's done, isn't it?" As he spoke, Lin Chen released his spirit ring.

Looking at the spirit rings on Lin Chen's body, Zhang Lexuan's chest heaved.

This kid always does something outrageous, but he always succeeds. You can't scold him at all; it's like he has nowhere to vent his anger.

"Moreover, the hatred of the extermination of my clan has not yet been avenged. If I do not quickly become stronger and go back to take revenge, I will be letting down the spirits of my clan in heaven."

"What are you going to do now? Don't do anything outrageous again, or I'll slap you to death." Zhang Lexuan's tone was unfriendly. This kid, did he still want to do something outrageous under her nose?

The eldest sister said: That's impossible!

Lin Chen continued recounting his experiences. When Zhang Lexuan heard that Lin Chen was being chased by his enemies, she suddenly realized what Lin Chen had just said.

"Sister Lexuan, now that I've finished speaking, can we go back now?"

Zhang Lexuan took out a token and said in a calm tone, "This is mine. You must carry it with you every day from now on. It contains my spiritual power and can locate you."

"Huh?" Lin Chen's face fell immediately. Although he knew that Zhang Lexuan meant well and didn't want him to run around, he still felt a little uncomfortable at the thought of his movements being restricted.

Zhang Lexuan flicked Lin Chen on the forehead again and said leisurely, "I gave you the letter of recommendation. As your senior sister, I naturally have to keep an eye on you to prevent you from running around recklessly."

"Okay..." Lin Chen was like a wronged wife at this moment.

Zhang Lexuan said no more. With an elegant turn, she transformed into a streak of white light and vanished in the blink of an eye. An echo reverberated in the air: "If you need anything, you can use this token to find me on Seagod Island!"

"This is the demeanor of a true powerhouse, appearing and disappearing without a trace," Lin Chen thought with admiration.

After Zhang Lexuan left, Lin Chen went to the cafeteria and found his two friends.

"Where's Xiao Xiao?" Lin Chen asked casually at the dinner table.

"I don't know what's wrong with Xiao Xiao lately. She's been acting all mysterious, leaving with the class monitor and the others as soon as get out of class is over," Lin Xiaolei said with some dissatisfaction.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen immediately understood what had happened.

It was Chicken Leg Douluo who led them to training, in preparation for the upcoming Continental Advanced Academy Soul Battle Tournament.

But he didn't say anything and continued eating with his head down.

"I'll give this level 6 defensive soul tool to Xiao Xiao another day," Lin Chen thought to himself, touching his storage bag.

Another month passed peacefully. During this time, Zhang Lexuan came to see him and asked if he wanted to become an inner court disciple ahead of schedule. Lin Chen politely declined.

In other words, Zhang Lexuan was able to get Lin Chen to politely refuse. If you had asked for someone else, Lin Chen would have simply driven them away.

Entering the inner courtyard? Entering the inner courtyard my foot! I was doing just fine in the outer courtyard, carefree, just going about my daily routine of classes, setting up a stall, the cafeteria, the library, and the dormitory. If I go into the inner courtyard, won't I just be trained to death by you guys?

Lin Chen said, "For the next six years at the outer academy, my future is uncertain!"

Lin Chen calculated the time and prepared to give his level 6 defensive soul tool to Xiao Xiao.
