Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 250 Bad News

Although it's only level 44, it's more than capable of treating illnesses that ordinary people can't.

Without continuing to focus on the healing-type Soul Master, Lin Chen quickly followed Uncle Chang to a small clinic.

Passing through the pharmacy ahead, Lin Chen saw Old Man Li lying unconscious on a hospital bed.

The two walked over quickly.

Old Li's wife has been waiting here all day, and she has been crying all day.

Upon seeing the two arrive, Old Mrs. Shen immediately stood up to greet them.

"What happened?" Uncle Chang asked.

The doctor who treated Old Li said, "We don't know the specific reason. The patient suddenly collapsed on the ground while pulling his cart past us and has been unconscious ever since."

Upon hearing this, both Uncle Chang and Lin Chen frowned.

"How could someone just faint for no reason? Are you kidding me?" Uncle Chang said angrily.

The doctor looked completely innocent. "It's true, Kuang. What's in it for you?"

Lin Chen didn't cause trouble for the doctor. He could tell that the doctor wasn't lying; he had already taken a huge risk by bringing Old Li back, and he was a good person.

At this moment, Old Madam Shen suddenly looked at Lin Chen, her tone pleading, "Lin Chen, you're a Soul Master, right? Can you take a look at him and tell me what illness he has? Can it be cured?"

Lin Chen grasped Old Madam Shen's hand and patted it lightly twice. "Don't worry, I'll take a look at Uncle Li."

Chang Bo and the doctor's eyes also fell on Lin Chen at the same time.

Lin Chen sat down by the bed, and with a wisp of soul power emanating from his two fingers, he directly probed into Old Li's body.

As Lin Chen's soul power penetrated deeper, he increasingly sensed the deterioration of Old Li's physical condition, and Old Li's complexion grew worse and worse.

"How is it?" Old Mrs. Shen asked anxiously.

Lin Chen frowned, not answering her question, but instead asking, "How many times has this happened to Uncle Li?"

Grandma Shen said, "He fainted once when he was young, but he hasn't had one since. I don't know why he suddenly fainted again today."

Lin Chen could clearly sense that Old Li's life force had run out, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Even with his cultivation level, he couldn't cure Old Li's illness; at most, he could only prolong his existence.

He will pass away in two weeks at most.

This isn't a world of cultivation, but the Douluo Continent. There aren't many rare treasures here. The only place on the entire continent with some immortal herbs is the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, but nothing there is suitable for him.

Lin Chen hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should tell Old Madam Shen the truth. What if she couldn't handle it...?

After some thought, Lin Chen decided to tell her the truth, his voice low as he said, "Aunt Shen, Uncle Li... his life is over. There's nothing I can do. He'll be gone in two weeks at most..."

Lin Chen didn't continue, but everyone present could understand what he meant.

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

Grandma Shen stumbled, but fortunately the doctor reacted quickly and she didn't fall to the ground.

"Are you telling the truth?" Old Mrs. Shen asked in a trembling voice. Lin Chen didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.

Grandma Shen didn't say anything or make a scene; she just sat by the bed, silently shedding tears.

"Lin Chen, come out with me," Uncle Chang said.

Lin Chen turned around, glanced at Old Madam Shen, and followed Uncle Chang out. The doctor was also very perceptive and followed the two out, leaving the place to them.

Chang Bo lit a cigarette and smoked it silently.

He was naturally saddened by the passing of his close friend.

"Is everything you said true?" Uncle Chang suddenly asked.

Lin Chen hummed in response and then remained silent.

This is the second time he has witnessed the death of an elder besides killing someone. The first time was his own parents, and this is the second time. Lin Chen didn't even go when Dragon God Douluo Mu En passed away.

Chang Bo didn't say anything more, he just stared blankly at the sky, feeling a sense of loss.

The two remained silent.

……

Suddenly, clusters of fireballs rose into the air below. These enormous fireballs were each over a meter in diameter. In an instant, hundreds of fireballs had ascended into the sky, illuminating a large area. Each fireball was like a small sun, releasing intense heat. A tall, strong figure was rising into the air from below at an astonishing speed.

The newcomer was none other than Mad Bull Douluo Wang Yiheng, whose cultivation level was 93rd-level Title Douluo.

Mad Bull Douluo Wang Yiheng's martial soul was already quite strong, so when researching soul tools, he focused on high explosiveness, high energy, and high heat, pursuing pure destructive power.

Now that his base has been breached by the enemy, he naturally wants to eliminate Huo Yuhao.

The soul tool he was using at this moment was called the Blazing Heavenly Net, which he created himself. It consisted of 365 Heavenly Net Beads. Each Heavenly Net Bead was under his control, and he himself was the core of the Blazing Heavenly Net.

Among the ninth-level soul tools, the Blazing Heavenly Net ranks between tenth and twelfth, and it is precisely because of this soul tool that Wang Yiheng has achieved his current status.

The high-altitude detection soul tool was extremely important, so he immediately used his best skills.

Huo Yuhao knew there was no way to retreat. He took a deep breath, and the Eye of Destiny activated on his forehead, causing the blue gem on his personal battle armor to light up. A strange fluctuation of soul power instantly spread outwards. Immediately afterward, a bright purple light streaked across the sky, shooting out like lightning. The instant it left the gem, the bright purple suddenly turned rose gold. The intense light pierced the sky, unstoppable even by the Blazing Heavenly Net, and instantly reached Wang Yiheng.

A pure white headband quietly appeared on Wang Yiheng's head. Rose-gold light fell on the shield, causing it to tremble slightly before the rose-gold light disappeared.

Wang Yiheng felt a sudden, intense dizziness. The silver shield in front of him and the headband on his head shattered simultaneously, and the terrifying mental power pierced deep into his brain like a sharp cone. The Blazing Heavenly Net instantly lost Wang Yiheng's control, and the flames suddenly diminished.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huo Yuhao rushed outside. Outside the light barrier, Tang Wutong, Ji Juechen, Xu Sanshi, and others were already prepared to meet him.

"Snap!" A snap of the fingers rang out, and a series of explosions began to occur in the Mingdou Mountains.

Mad Bull Douluo was furious. A mere Soul Saint kid was managing to outmaneuver his entire legion.

After meeting Huo Yuhao, the group quickly flew away into the distance.

……

Both of them remained silent. Lin Chen looked at Uncle Chang beside him, who was smoking one cigarette after another. He couldn't help but reach out and stop him from continuing.
