Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 27: The Competition of Advancing All the Way and Lin Chen's Lazy Performance

After the battle with Zhengtian Academy, Lin Chen gained some insights into his own cultivation. Moreover, after this match, the three main team members will gradually return. So Lin Chen simply stayed in the hotel to cultivate and reflect on his combat experience. If nothing unexpected happens, he probably won't be involved in the following matches.

The competition is already more than halfway through, and today's match is between Shrek Academy and Changning Academy.

Thinking of this academy, Lin Chen could hardly suppress a laugh. Huo Gua pressed a button, and Ling Luochen used his fifth soul skill, ending the fight. Damn it, seven against two and instantly killed! If there were a World Record in Douluo Continent, probably no academy could break it.

Shrek Academy defeated Zheng Tian Academy without any doubt today.

Lin Chen, on the other hand, was cultivating in the hotel.

After the recent battles, Lin Chen has gradually developed a killing intent, but how to control it is something he needs to figure out for himself. The City of Slaughter no longer exists on the continent, so the Domain of the God of Slaughter no longer exists.

How to use killing intent is a question that Lin Chen needs to explore now.

Combining killing intent with his Seven Killings Domain is the best method Lin Chen can think of at the moment. With the two combined, the domain can intimidate the opponent's mind through killing intent, thereby further reducing the opponent's strength.

Having determined the direction, Lin Chen began to try to combine the two.

Nothing can be accomplished overnight. Even though Lingbo Weibu, Zha Huan, and Dou Sha Xuan Yuan Jian were all combat techniques created by predecessors, they still consumed a considerable amount of Lin Chen's energy. Moreover, Lin Chen had only just begun practicing them.

The road ahead is long and arduous.

Lin Chen cultivated in the hotel for three days and three nights, and had already entered a state of deep meditation.

With the blessing of the Life Gold, Lin Chen's cultivation speed increased significantly, and in just three days, his soul power made a slight improvement.

In the blink of an eye, the competition has reached the quarterfinals, with Shrek Academy facing off against the Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy of the Spirit Fighting.

Upon arriving at Shrek Academy's rest area, they heard Wang Yan's stern voice: "Ma Xiaotao, if you don't listen to me, you won't be playing this match!"

"If I don't play, can you find someone else?" Ma Xiaotao said disdainfully. Ma Xiaotao held Wang Yan in utter contempt; after all, he was weak.

But he is indeed a good teacher. Putting everything else aside, Lin Chen highly approves of Wang Yan's character and teaching methods.

Lin Chen neither liked nor disliked this big-breasted, brainless woman, after all, his kind nature was there for him.

Just then, Lin Chen arrived, and the two of them turned to look at him. Wang Yan even said, "If you don't listen to me, I'll let Lin Chen go on stage!"

"you!"

While the two were talking, the representatives of the two teams had already drawn lots, and just like in the original story, it was a team battle.

"Shrek Academy vs. Battle Spirit Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy, team battle, please send your players onto the field!"

After much deliberation, Wang Yan gently nudged Lin Chen, clearly wanting him to go on stage. In his eyes, this student he had taught was low-key, reserved, and possessed a hidden brilliance, and was also more obedient to commands.

Following Wang Yan's instructions, Lin Chen slowly walked towards the Soul Battle Arena.

Suddenly, an arm blocked Lin Chen's path: "Get down, let me handle this."

The person blocking him was Ma Xiaotao. Given her personality, how could she possibly be willing to let someone who wasn't even in the reserve team play while she sat idly on the sidelines?

Seeing Ma Xiaotao's persistence, Wang Yan didn't say anything. Lin Chen, seeing this, also gave the senior student face and let her go on stage.

"Sigh!" Wang Yan sighed as he sat in the rest area.

"Teacher Wang, man proposes, God disposes. You have already put in a lot of effort, so leave the rest to fate," Lin Chen comforted him.

"You're more mature than me, but you have a point. Let's not think about it anymore and leave it to fate." After Lin Chen's comforting words, Wang Yan's mood improved considerably, and he was no longer as gloomy as before.

Let's watch the game!

The battle quickly broke out. Gu Zhujian, the captain of the Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy of Douling, single-handedly held off the six members of Shrek Academy, while Xiao Feng, a spirit-type soul master, trapped Ma Xiaotao to buy time for assembling the cannon.

……

After a fierce battle, Shrek Academy won the match. Ma Xiaotao continued her stable performance and revealed her sixth soul skill.

When Ma Xiaotao used her sixth soul skill, Wang Yan was so angry that he stood up and almost dragged her off the stage.

Back at the hotel, Wang Yan gave Ma Xiaotao a good scolding, but what did that matter to Ma Xiaotao? She was Yan Shaozhe's disciple, a genius of the inner academy, and the future successor of Shrek Academy. No matter what, Wang Yan wouldn't dare to lay a hand on her.

"In the end, strength reigns supreme!" Lin Chen sighed as he listened to Wang Yan's curses.

With nothing else to do, Lin Chen once again threw himself into cultivation.

Lin Chen didn't attend the semi-final match between Shrek Academy and Star Luo Royal Academy, mainly because he was cultivating. He hadn't visited Zhang Lexuan these past few days either, assuming his senior sister was also cultivating.

With the help of the male and female leads, Shrek Academy successfully advanced to the finals and will soon compete with Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy for the final championship.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was stronger than the Shrek Academy members had imagined. Even with Lin Chen's earlier warning, Shrek Academy still suffered a regrettable defeat in the team battle. Lin Xi and Chen Fei, two students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, were also killed by Ma Xiaotao.

Unlike the original story, there was no instance of Shrek Academy voluntarily conceding defeat. Prior to this, under Lin Chen's guidance, Shrek Academy was better prepared for the match, but facing the opponent's endless array of soul tools, and with only three main players available, they ultimately lost.

"Lin Chen, what are your thoughts on a one-on-one duel?" Wang Yan asked Lin Chen from below the stage.

Lin Chen shook his head. "I don't know anything about their abilities."

Seeing this, Wang Yan stopped asking questions and continued to deploy tactics.

Xu Sanshi was the first to appear, displaying an impressive momentum and eliminating the two members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in one fell swoop before exhausting his soul power.

In the third match, the Sun Moon Empire sent Meng Hongchen to the stage, clearly knowing that Lin Chen knew about the Hongchen siblings' background, and Beibei was also eliminated.

Just as Ling Luochen was about to go on stage, Lin Chen reminded her, "Her martial soul, the Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad, is also adept at guiding poison through ice; only the ultimate ice can counter it." As he spoke, he looked at Huo Yuhao.

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to set off, Dai Yueheng stood up and said, "I'll go try it first. Teacher Wang said that we should try not to expose our junior brother's abilities too early."

In fact, Dai Yueheng did this partly for Shrek Academy, and partly to gain Huo Yuhao's favor so that he could win him over in the future.

"Shrek Academy, Dai Yueheng."
