Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 26

As the smoke cleared, Lin Chen, his clothes tattered, was found kneeling on one knee, coughing up blood.

Yu Mengdi on the other side was also not doing well, and her condition was similar to Lin Chen's.

"Oh my god, what am I seeing?"

"A Soul King actually fought to a draw with a Soul Venerable."

……

A heated discussion broke out in the audience.

That move was the Battle-Slaying Spinning Sword, created by Long Xingyu, the strongest punitive knight of the Holy Demon Continent. It can charge up power while continuously attacking the enemy, thus unleashing an attack power far exceeding one's own soul power. It is most effective against opponents who need to charge up or are slow. However, if it encounters an agility-type soul master, its effect will be negligible.

Unlike the strict hierarchy of the Holy Demon Continent, the Douluo Continent makes it much easier to fight against opponents of higher levels. Xie Yue, at level 52, was able to defeat his level 68 teacher with his self-created soul skills, so why couldn't Lin Chen?

Lin Chen felt that this skill was a perfect match for the Seven Kill Sword, so he began to study and practice it.

On the other side, relying on the advantage of the soul tool, He Caitou forcefully exhausted his opponent's soul power and then eliminated him with a single shot.

He Caitou walked over to Lin Chen and handed him a Xue Ru that amplified his soul power.

Lin Chen stood up with some difficulty, took the Xue Ru from He Caitou's hand, took a deep breath, and felt a little better.

"Thanks, senior."

"It's nothing!"

Having recovered some of his soul power, Lin Chen gripped the Seven Kill Sword and charged towards Yu Mengdi on the opposite side.

"I admit defeat!" Yu Mengdi chose to admit defeat directly.

The referee intervened and stopped Lin Chen.

"Shrek Academy wins the first match against Zheng Tian Academy!"

Lin Chen and He Caitou slowly walked down the Soul Battle Platform and returned to the rest area.

"Xiao Tu, what was that move you just made? It was so cool!" As soon as she sat down, the little girl started chattering away around Lin Chen.

"Yes, Lin Chen, what exactly is it? How could he fight the Soul King to a draw?" Wang Dong also asked.

"That was just something I figured out by myself, nothing special."

"It seems the Seven Kill Sword is about to reappear on the continent," Xu Jiawei said.

"To be able to fight a five-ring Soul King to a draw with the power of a three-ring Soul King does indeed have some of the style of that person from ten thousand years ago. Shrek Academy truly has a wealth of talent," Dai Hao agreed.

"That's not right. Although that person can't compare to Tang San, the Sea God, he's still capable of taking on four opponents at once. The difference in strength between Title Douluos isn't like those three or five-ring Douluos," retorted Cheng Gang, the Guardian Douluo.

……

With Lin Chen's help, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi volunteered to fight on stage in the second match.

Zhengtian Academy's tactics have also changed, with Tang Xiaolei, who was originally scheduled to play in the second match, being replaced by Ye Wuqing.

Despite the arduous battle, the strongest attack and defense from the outer academy were combined to secure a victory without major incident. The audience witnessed the awakening of the Holy Light Dragon and the divine beast Xuanwu, creating a truly awe-inspiring scene!

Xu Sanshi actually awakened under Bei Bei's stimulation, which Lin Chen found somewhat unbelievable. Wasn't it only Jiang Nannan who could stimulate this guy?

At that time, under Ye Wuqing's relentless bombardment, Beibei was determined to win and took the initiative to activate the bloodline of the Holy Dragon of Light.

Seeing Bei Bei fight so hard, Xu Sanshi's fighting spirit was successfully aroused, causing his Xuanwu bloodline to be briefly activated. With the cooperation of offense and defense, he won the game.

After the match, everyone returned to the hotel to rest. Huo Yuhao, having not participated in the match, did not reveal the aura of the Ice Emperor, thus avoiding a severe beating from the National Guardian Douluo Cheng Gang.

In fact, Lin Chen's purpose was very simple: he didn't want Xiao Xiao, a second-ring martial soul, to become cannon fodder. A broken martial soul is a serious matter. If she didn't have a second martial soul, she wouldn't have a chance in the rest of the competition.

As for Xiao Xiao and He Caitou's relationship, that's none of his business.

The next morning, in the conference room

Just as everyone was discussing tactics, there was a knock on the door.

Wang Yan went and opened the door.

The visitor was Qingya from the Starlight Auction House. "Distinguished guests of Shrek Academy, I apologize for the intrusion. Tonight, I will be holding a top-tier auction, and I cordially invite you all to attend."

"Thank you, our hospital will definitely attend on time," Wang Yan replied.

As night fell, Wang Yan led the Shrek Academy members to the Starlight Auction House.

Lin Chen did not go; instead, he chose to cultivate alone in the hotel.

"Knock knock knock"

The door opened, and Zhang Lexuan's face appeared in front of Lin Chen.

"Sister Lexuan, let's grab a late-night snack together! It's so annoying to cultivate alone all the time," Lin Chen said with a smile.

"You're the one who can't stand being alone, aren't you? I'm not bothered at all." Zhang Lexuan rolled her eyes at him.

"But I'm also a little hungry," Zhang Lexuan added.

Lin Chen and Zhang Lexuan walked through the streets and alleys of the Star Luo Empire. Lin Chen held all kinds of barbecue in his hands, his mouth never stopped, and he would occasionally hand a skewer to Zhang Lexuan.

"By the way, why didn't you go to the auction with Teacher Wang and the others?" Zhang Lexuan asked.

"I just don't want to go, it seems pretty boring," Lin Chen replied casually while eating.

"I'm truly impressed by you..."

The two chatted casually, and Zhang Lexuan felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation.

From being orphaned after her clan was wiped out, to being adopted by Mu En and becoming Bei Bei's child bride, to Bei Bei meeting Tang Ya and Mu En telling her that she didn't have to keep her promise anymore, Zhang Lexuan's mood has actually been quite bad all these years, but she has been putting on a brave face.

Zhang Lexuan seemed to realize that her once frozen heart had been touched by the boy in front of her.

Time is passing by little by little, and there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street.

"It's getting late, Sister Lexuan, let's go back to cultivate."

Go back? Go back my foot! You probably don't know, I won't be able to concentrate on my cultivation tonight either.

"Let's wander around a bit more, then we'll head back later," Zhang Lexuan said casually.

"Oh? Sister Lexuan, it's so late..."

"Shut up."

The two walked along the streets late at night.

Around 2 a.m., Lin Chen and Zhang Lexuan returned to the hotel. Zhang Lexuan was no longer able to concentrate on her cultivation, so she simply took a shower and went straight to sleep, while Lin Chen continued his cultivation.

After all, time waits for no one, and Moon's time is running out. At that time, he will face even more crises.

Only by facing difficulties head-on can we find a glimmer of hope.

After much thought, Lin Chen concluded that it was time to find an opportunity to visit the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
