Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 227 Sword Douluo?

"Sister Lexuan, what brings you here?"

"What? Do I need a reason to come see my man?" Zhang Lexuan said domineeringly.

"No, no need. I just feel a little melancholy about leaving."

"What are you afraid of? It's not like you're not coming back."

"Yes, I will come back."

Zhang Lexuan suddenly said in a serious tone, "Lin Chen, remember this: I am your woman now. We are one. When you are traveling, you must always put your safety first. One of these lights is lit for you. Your life no longer belongs to you alone."

"Um."

……

The next day, Yan Shaozhe sent a telepathic message to Lin Chen, asking him to come to the Sea God Pavilion.

"Dean Yan," Lin Chen called out.

"Oh, you've come." Yan Shaozhe invited Lin Chen into the Sea God Pavilion, gave him a graduation certificate, and also gave him two tokens.

"This is Shrek Academy's token, which proves your identity. Every graduate receives one. That's my token; you can show it if you encounter danger."

Although Lin Chen no longer needed this thing, he still put all three items into his storage bag.

"By the way, Lin Chen, now that you've broken through to the Title Douluo level, have you thought about your title?"

"Sword! Sword Douluo!"

"Sword Douluo? Are you going to use the title of the Sword Douluo from ten thousand years ago?" Yan Shaozhe asked in surprise.

Generally speaking, a new Title Douluo cannot use the titles of past Title Douluos, unless it is a hereditary title of a family or force, such as the Haotian Douluo of the Haotian Sect or the White Tiger Douluo of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. Lin Chen is a rogue cultivator, so naturally he will not have any hereditary titles.

Lin Chen nodded and said, "Senior Sword Douluo has always been a senior I admire and a role model for me. I will use 'Sword' as my title!"

"However, there are quite a few sects and forces on the mainland that use swords as their martial spirit. If you use this title like this, won't you..." Yan Shaozhe still asked.

"If they have any objections, then let them come and compete with me. If I am not good enough, I will naturally give up this title," Lin Chen said calmly.

In this world, there is probably no one more skilled with a sword than him. Ji Juechen also has a deep understanding of the way of the sword, but his current cultivation level is not high enough.

Hearing Lin Chen's domineering words, Yan Shaozhe could only manage a wry smile.

However, he didn't say anything to discourage Lin Chen. Young people are always good to have confidence.

When are you planning to leave?

"In the next few days," Lin Chen gave a vague answer.

When he left, he really didn't want so many people around; he couldn't bear the sight of that girl crying her eyes out.

Just tell Sister Lexuan.

Back at her place, Zhang Lexuan was cooking noodles.

"Sister Lexuan, let me help you."

Lin Chen helped Zhang Lexuan in the kitchen, and soon three steaming bowls of ramen were served on the table.

"Xiaoyan, dinner's ready!" Zhang Lexuan called out to Tang Xiaoyan.

Tang Xiaoyan also came to eat with great enthusiasm.

"Sister Lexuan, I have to go." After dinner, Lin Chen and Zhang Lexuan lay on the sofa, and Lin Chen said to Zhang Lexuan.

Zhang Lexuan simply gave a soft "hmm," not at all surprised.

"Didn't you tell anyone else?"

Lin Chen shook his head and said, "No, it's enough that Sister Lexuan knows."

"Be careful, I'll be waiting for you to come back."

"Um."

Lin Chen left, without Zhang Lexuan knowing.

"Where should we go?" Lin Chen pondered as he walked along the lush path outside Shrek City.

After a while, Lin Chen casually said, "Let's go take a look at Heaven Dou City!"

After all, that was the capital of the Heavenly Dou Empire ten thousand years ago, so Lin Chen also became curious about it.

"Are you going to Tiandou City?" Qian Renxue asked from within the Sea of ​​Spirit.

"Yeah, I also want to see what the city you infiltrated back then looked like."

"Oh, then go ahead," Qian Renxue replied simply, and then fell silent.

Lin Chen continued walking slowly, without using any Soul Master abilities. Judging from his aura, no one would think he was a Soul Master; he was just an ordinary person.

Feeling the breath of nature, Lin Chen's mood brightened up.

Lin Chen left from the east gate of Shrek City, so he still needed to circle around Shrek City before heading north to the capital of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Without using his Soul Master abilities, Lin Chen walked for a whole day and only reached a small inn not far from the north gate of Shrek City.

Lin Chen handed the shopkeeper a gold soul coin and booked a superior room. From the room, he could see the brightly lit Shrek City.

With Zhou Mingxing's black card at his disposal, Lin Chen naturally wouldn't lack gold soul coins. However, he wouldn't live a life of extravagance; simplicity was his style.

It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, especially since Lin Chen had learned about minimalism in his previous life.

"Knock knock knock!"

A knock sounded at the door, and Lin Chen opened it to find the boss standing at his doorway, pushing a small wooden cart.

As promised, Lin Chen didn't use any of his Soul Master abilities. He didn't even use his mental power to sense the person outside the door before opening it.

In fact, Lin Chen's mental strength has reached a very peculiar level. Even without using his mental strength, Lin Chen can sense danger before it arrives.

During his previous escape, Lin Chen had felt a sense of danger. This feeling did not come from the aura of Zhongli Wu and the others, but appeared out of nowhere. It was probably because of the missing bit of luck power that Huo Yuhao had in him.

That's right. Previously, Di Tian sensed that Huo Yuhao's luck power was incomplete, with a missing part. Now, it's in Lin Chen's place.

However, none of the three of them knew about this, not even Qian Renxue.

"Sir, here are your two dishes and three bowls of rice." The owner pushed a cart into Lin Chen's room and placed the steaming food on Lin Chen's table.

"Yes, thank you for your trouble."

"Please enjoy your meal, sir. I'll be going to get back to work now." With that, the boss quickly left Lin Chen's room.

There are actually quite a few inns around Shrek City. As the most prosperous city on the entire continent, there are naturally many merchants coming and going for trade, so many people open shops here. They may not make a fortune, but at least they can easily add a couple of dishes to their meals.

Looking out the window, Lin Chen saw that caravans were still passing by in an endless stream.

One of the caravans caught Lin Chen's attention; their crates bore the logo of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, suggesting they were a group from the school.
