Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 25 Zhan Yu Mengdi

The newcomer was Zhang Lexuan, who was looking at Xu Jiujiu with an unfriendly expression.

"Your Highness, what business do you have with my Shrek student?"

Xu Jiujiu was also looking at Zhang Lexuan. When she saw Zhang Lexuan's face, she was also amazed by her stunning beauty. For a moment, she even felt inferior to her.

At this moment, Lin Chen stepped in to smooth things over: "Your Highness, this is my senior sister, an inner disciple of Shrek Academy, who has also come to watch the competition."

Hearing Lin Chen's explanation, Xu Jiujiu bowed slightly and said respectfully, "So you are an inner court student of Shrek Academy. My apologies for not recognizing you. I just wanted to catch up with Brother Lin. He rid my Star Luo Empire of a scourge before, and now that he has come to Star Luo City again, I naturally want to do my best to be a good host."

On the mainland, strength is paramount. A Soul King would naturally show great respect to a Soul Douluo. Moreover, Xu Jiujiu's experience was still limited compared to Xu Jiawei's, so it was perfectly normal for him to bow to Zhang Lexuan.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan paused, thought about Lin Chen's previous experiences, and began to believe Xu Jiujiu's words. However, this did not mean that she would let Xu Jiujiu pull Lin Chen into the palace.

"Your Highness, Lin Chen has important matters to attend to at Shrek Academy, so I cannot comply. I apologize!" After saying this, without waiting for a long time to react, she grabbed Lin Chen's hand and led him away.

Zhang Lexuan didn't stop until she reached Lin Chen's room.

"Sister Lexuan..." Lin Chen called out.

Zhang Lexuan then realized that she hadn't let go of Lin Chen's hand, and immediately blushed and let go of his hand.

"You...you should go back first, and try to avoid contact with people from the major powers." After saying that, she left with a red face.

After walking for a long time, Zhang Lexuan finally stopped. This was the first time she had held hands with a boy for so long. Even Bei Bei rarely had any physical contact with her. How could she...?

Sigh, I don't want to think about it anymore. Zhang Lexuan simply went all in and lay down on the bed, falling asleep. You see, she usually replaced sleep with cultivation, but now she had been unknowingly influenced by Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was also cultivating at that moment.

After nearly a month of training, Lin Chen has broken through the bottleneck of level 37 and is now level 37.

After a few days of rest following their match against Yunluo Academy, Shrek Academy once again crushed Thousand Spirits Academy, which boasts a Soul King, with overwhelming force.

Time flies, and today is the match between Shrek Academy and Zheng Tian Academy. Everyone has arrived at the Soul Arena.

As in the original story, the match against Zhengtian Academy will be a 2-2-3 battle, which is also the most disadvantageous match format for Shrek Academy.

"Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, you two will go for the first match," Wang Yan announced the tactics.

At this moment, Lin Chen spoke up, "Teacher Wang, how about letting me and Senior He perform for the first match?"

"Oh? Do you have something to say?" Wang Yan asked. The seven members of the reserve team also looked at Lin Chen curiously.

"Teacher Wang, you also think the opposing team will field that Soul King with the Angelic Martial Soul in the first match, right?"

Wang Yan nodded, clearly agreeing with this view.

"I once read about the characteristics of the Angelic Martial Soul in an ancient book. It was very detailed, which deepened my understanding of the Angelic Martial Soul. Although I can't guarantee that I can defeat her, I can at least hold her off. And for those below the 7th ring, Soul Masters have an advantage. When the time comes, my senior and I will defeat the Soul Grandmaster on the other side, creating a two-on-one situation, and we'll have a sure win!" Lin Chen said. He didn't choose to gain Wang Yan's trust by talking about his strength, but instead chose to talk about his theoretical knowledge.

Wang Yan originally focused on theoretical research, making him easier to persuade. Besides, how could Lin Chen possibly reveal all his strength?

After thinking about it, Wang Yan agreed to Lin Chen's plan.

"For the first match of the 2-2-3 battle, please welcome the participating players from both sides to the stage!"

"Be careful, your own safety is the most important thing," Wang Yan urged.

Lin Chen and He Caitou nodded and strode towards the competition stage.

"Junior, are you sure you can handle this? How about I deal with Yu Mengdi instead?" He Caitou said to Lin Chen. Clearly, having never seen Lin Chen's strength, he didn't entirely believe that his junior could hold off Yu Mengdi.

"Senior, when we are at a disadvantage in terms of combat strength and numbers, we should use our strengths to attack their weaknesses. You are a Soul Master, so it will be easier for you to defeat that Soul Grandmaster on the other side. Then we can join forces to deal with Yu Mengdi."

That's normal, though. Can you really trust a complete stranger? That's impossible.

"The match begins!"

The four people on the field activated their martial spirits simultaneously.

"Strange, why does that sword-wielding Soul Master on the other side give me a feeling of connection?" Yu Mengdi thought to herself.

Following their agreed-upon tactics, Lin Chen and He Caitou each headed towards the Soul Master on the opposite side, while Lin Chen charged straight towards Yu Mengdi.

"What am I afraid of? He's just a Soul Master, while I have two more Soul Rings than him." Without further thought, he engaged Lin Chen in direct combat.

The battle on He Caitou's side had already begun.

"Alas, I never imagined that my angel race would degenerate to this state," Qian Renxue sighed.

Lin Chen ignored her; he was in the middle of a battle and couldn't afford to be distracted.

"Yu Mengdi's soul power is more than ten levels higher than mine. If we clash head-on, I'm no match for her. I must weaken her strength." With that thought, Lin Chen fully unleashed his Seven Kill Domain, covering the entire Soul Arena.

For a moment, the strength of the three people on the field, except for Lin Chen, was suppressed.

"A domain?" The two members of Zhengtian Academy exclaimed in unison. They never expected that this suddenly appearing Shrek Academy substitute member would possess a domain!

"Senior, in this field, everyone's strength is suppressed except for mine. I can't control whether they are friend or foe, and they are also suppressed."

Hearing this, He Caitou's face lit up with excitement. So what if he was being suppressed? Don't forget, he was a food-type Soul Master.

The snowflakes generated by the first three soul skills were inserted into his mouth at the same time, and He Caitou's attributes were already significantly stronger than the opponent's four-ring.

Two against two, the advantage is in my hands!

"Let's finish this quickly!" Yu Mengdi said to her teammates on the other side.

The other person nodded, his third spirit ring flashed, and he increased his speed to the maximum, rushing towards He Caitou.

The latter, however, calmly took out his various soul tools to deal with the situation.

Lin Chen's situation was rather precarious. Yu Mengdi's fourth and fifth spirit rings shone brightly. With the amplification of Angel's Blessing, the power of Angel God-Sealing Slash had reached the level of a Spirit Emperor. Even with the suppression of the Seven Kill Domain, its power was only reduced to that of a high-level Spirit King, which was still difficult for Lin Chen to withstand.

This move is Yu Mengdi's strongest killing move, and it requires a very long charging time.

With the second and third spirit rings shining, Lin Chen's attack power instantly reached its peak. Before this, he had also smoked a Xue Ru that could enhance his spirit power. At this moment, the aura on his body was fluctuating unstablely, and he had already reached the Spirit Master level.

A whirlwind arose around Yu Mengdi, and countless sword shadows formed within it. Lin Chen also used these sword shadows to continuously attack Yu Mengdi.

"Angel, God-Sealing Slash!"

Without hesitation, Lin Chen wielded the Seven Kill Sword to meet the attack head-on. Terrifying fluctuations of soul power instantly swept across the entire Soul Arena.
