Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 289 Zhang Lexuan's Ninth Soul Skill

At this moment, Huo Yuhao felt that his mind had completely merged with the sword. The feeling was so wonderful that he found it hard to extricate himself.

His right hand moved again, the eerie blue flames still dancing at his fingertips. The hard crimson demonic gold was subtly altered before the incomparably sharp Ghost Carving Divine Blade, like a cabbage or radish.

Huo Yuhao's hands moved faster and faster. He already had an extremely solid foundation in carving, so understanding the Dragon Rain Dance Knife Technique was not difficult for him.

This was taught to him by Rong Nianbing, the God of Emotions, and Huo Yuhao used this sword technique to create soul tools.

……

Inside the Land of Inheritance, Zhang Lexuan is facing off against several 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

One of the skeletal soul beasts roared, and countless human bones appeared on the ground, rushing towards Zhang Lexuan.

Silver soul power condensed in Zhang Lexuan's hand, and a black soul ring lit up, instantly causing specks of moonlight to fall from the sky onto the earth.

Although this is a divine test, the venue is still within the divine land of the Moon God, so it is still nighttime and the power of moonlight is very strong. Therefore, Zhang Lexuan's combat power is naturally the strongest, since nighttime is Zhang Lexuan's home ground.

The moonlight dappled the skeletons, which had looked menacing just a moment ago, but were now silently obliterated by the falling moonlight.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Silver Moon True Form!"

As her seventh spirit ring lit up, Zhang Lexuan's eyes emitted a silver light, and a silver moon-shaped pattern appeared on her cheek, making her already stunning face even more captivating.

At this moment, a golden-haired spirit beast roared and charged towards her.

Zhang Lexuan smiled slightly, her eighth spirit ring lit up, and the silver moon in the sky instantly turned blood red.

In that instant, the entire world was filled with a chilling atmosphere, and the terrifying pressure emanating from the blood moon made people feel as if the end of the world was about to arrive.

……

Outside the assessment site, a huge silver light screen appeared in front of Lin Chen and the Moon Goddess, clearly showing Zhang Lexuan's performance in the assessment.

"Indeed, these spirit rings are all well-matched," said the Moon Goddess.

Lin Chen also smiled as he looked at the woman inside.

"You've offended the God of Asura; your path ahead won't be easy," said the Moon Goddess.

"I know, but I will try my best to keep going," Lin Chen said firmly.

"What are your plans?" the moon goddess asked.

Lin Chen replied calmly, "I will strive to become a god. As long as I can break through, with my godhood, even the Asura God cannot kill me."

Lin Chen is right. As long as he can become a god, Tang San's threat to him will be greatly reduced, and he will no longer have to worry about his life.

The Moon Goddess sighed, divine power pulsating between her fingers, and said, "The soul bone I gave you doesn't actually have the restriction I just mentioned; I just wanted to test you. Now I've placed three layers of defensive restrictions on that soul bone, enough to withstand one attack from a God-King and three attacks from a First-Level God. Although I'm only a First-Level God, I am, after all, the Goddess who governs the moon, and a peak First-Level God. Ordinary First-Level Gods are truly no match for me."

Lin Chen looked at the Moon Goddess with some surprise, then said solemnly, "Thank you."

Putting everything else aside, the Moon Goddess's act of gifting him a soul bone was already an immense favor, and now she has even inscribed a restriction on the soul bone to protect Lin Chen. Lin Chen will never forget this kindness.

The Moon Goddess waved her hand and said, "I am just tired. I am thinking of my successor. If anything happens to you, she may not be able to inherit my mantle. If her mind is damaged, she will not be able to become a god."

Lin Chen remained silent. Regardless of whether the Moon Goddess was acting in Zhang Lexuan's best interests, he had to remember this kindness.

But what she said was true; if one's mind is not clear, then progress is impossible.

Looking back at the light screen, Zhang Lexuan was still undergoing the assessment.

Since the Moon Goddess's era was unaware of ferocious beasts, Zhang Lexuan faced mostly 100,000-year-old soul beasts, making her fights much easier than Lin Chen's.

Watching the roaring Tibetan Mastiff charge towards her, Zhang Lexuan used the power of the moonlight to dodge back and forth.

This Tibetan Mastiff is extremely strong and has a very strong defense; it is absolutely not advisable to confront it head-on.

In their previous encounters, Zhang Lexuan had experienced his strength and defense firsthand.

Fortunately, the speed of this Tibetan Mastiff was far inferior to that of Zhang Lexuan, so it couldn't do anything to Zhang Lexuan for the time being.

While dodging the Tibetan mastiff's attack in the sky, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Lexuan in an instant.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Silver Moon Shield!"

A moon shield appeared in front of Zhang Lexuan, protecting her entire delicate body.

The lightning bolt struck the Silver Moon Shield, instantly shattering its surface. Zhang Lexuan was also thrown backward by the impact, plummeting straight to the ground.

Fortunately, the Silver Moon Shield gradually neutralized the power of the lightning.

The lightning bolt also appeared to be circular.

"A hooked nose, lightning crackling around its body, and incredible speed—this must be the Electric Eagle," Lin Chen mused, looking at the light screen.

Gentle soul power supported Zhang Lexuan from behind, helping her stabilize her body.

Looking at the electric eagle surrounded by lightning, Zhang Lexuan frowned.

Silently calculating the time in his mind, there was less than half an hour left until the incense stick's time was up.

Hang in there!

Just as Zhang Lexuan was making up her mind, the electric eagle swooped down, and the Mingjin Tibetan Mastiff, which had been barking on the ground, leaped up and landed behind Zhang Lexuan.

Zhang Lexuan smiled slightly and once again used the power of moonlight to teleport away in the nick of time.

The result was predictable: the electric eagle was moving too fast and had too much inertia, so it was impossible for it to brake or change direction at the last minute, and it crashed directly into the huge Mingjin Tibetan Mastiff.

A bolt of lightning struck the Mingjin Tibetan Mastiff.

Tibetan mastiffs are inherently metallic and conductive. Now, this current swept across the entire body of the mastiff. No matter how strong its defense is, it cannot withstand the lightning that restrains it. In an instant, patches of black appeared on the metal of its skin and its thick fur.

Those are the marks left by electrocution.

"roar!"

The Tibetan Mastiff let out a painful roar.

Electric Eagle was also a little dizzy for a moment. After crashing into this metal block, he was also dazed.

Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Lexuan activated her ninth spirit ring, causing a dense concentration of moonlight power to gather behind her, forming a crescent moon.

Suddenly, two moons appeared in this world.

"Ninth Soul Skill, Moon Goddess Slash!"
