Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 32 Soul Bones Descend from Heaven?

After traveling for four or five days, Lin Chen returned to the small mountain village where his parents had once lived with him.

This village is remote and economically underdeveloped, situated at the border of the Douling Empire and the far north, with a harsh climate. Therefore, the Wang family never discovered it. Even when the empire collects taxes, they rarely come here. After all, the tax revenue collected here is less than the travel expenses, so who would want to come?

Lin Chen first returned home and used his soul power to clean the two-bedroom apartment, which hadn't been cleaned for many years. Then he went to the snow-capped mountain behind the house to visit his parents.

At the graves of Lin's father and mother

"Father, Mother, Xiao Chen has come to see you. I'm now a Soul Master, and I have a 100,000-year Soul Ring. Don't worry, soon I will wipe out the entire Wang family and kill that bastard Wang Lei. I'll use their blood to comfort you and the spirits of our clansmen in heaven!" Lin Chen said, clenching his fists. A few tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, and his killing intent surged forth.

After saying this, Lin Chen lay down in front of his parents' graves, gazing at the vast starry sky, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

After spending the night with his parents, Lin Chen did a final check to make sure everything was cleaned. Then, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times deeply. "Father, Mother, this is the last time I'll visit you before I deal with Wang Lei. Please bless me from heaven, and I'll return to report the good news after I've wiped out the Wang family!"

We will not return until we have conquered Loulan!

And so, with his beliefs and determination, Lin Chen stepped out of his safe haven and embarked on his journey once again!

After about five more days of travel, Lin Chen finally returned to Shrek Academy.

"Xiao Tu!" Xiao Xiao waved excitedly at Lin Chen upon seeing him return.

Lin Chen then walked over to his friends.

Looking at Zhou Mingxing, his injuries had improved considerably, but there were still obvious bruises in several places.

After class, Lin Chen took his three friends to a secluded place.

Lin Chen took out the three immortal herbs from his storage bag and said to everyone, "These are the immortal herbs I picked this time. Everyone gets a share."

"Wow, Xiao Tu! You're so kind!" Xiao Xiao jumped up excitedly upon seeing the three immortal herbs.

"Xiao Xiao, this is your Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma; Xiao Lei, this is your Longing Dew, which can enhance your spiritual power; Ming Xing, this is the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, the immortal herb that the God of Food consumed back then."

"Xiao Tu, what about you?" Lin Xiaolei asked.

"If I can give it to you, why wouldn't I have it? Don't worry, I've already eaten." Lin Chen said casually.

"Refine it immediately after you get back, and don't let the other students know," Lin Chen instructed. It wouldn't be a good thing if others knew about the existence of the immortal herb.

"Xiao Tu, I also have something for you," Xiao Xiao suddenly said.

"What are you going to give me?" Lin Chen asked in confusion, his brain racing at the same time.

Could it be...?

Xiao Xiao pulled out something that looked like a bear paw, and the three of them stared wide-eyed at it.

"Soul Bone!"

"That's right, this soul bone is the palm bone of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. It's an external soul bone, obtained by hunting a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that's a thousand years old. It can grow into a soul bone that's a hundred thousand years old in the future," Xiao Xiao said with a proud expression.

"Give...to me?" Lin Chen felt somewhat incredulous.

"The soul tool you gave me last time helped me, the class monitor, and Wang Dong a lot. If it weren't for that soul tool, at least one of us would have been captured," Xiao Xiao said. These words were spoken by Huo Yuhao during his "post-match review."

"So, I discussed it with them, and we decided to use this soul bone to repay their kindness!"

"But this is a soul bone that can grow to 100,000 years old! Would it be okay to just give it to me like this..." Lin Chen said, he was really hesitant. In his opinion, this sentiment was far less precious than a 100,000-year-old soul bone.

"Hmph, take it if I tell you to. I haven't taken back anything I've given away yet."

Lin Chen then put the soul bone away.

He was starting to wonder if he was the chosen one. He'd gone out and picked up a 100,000-year soul ring, and now he had a 100,000-year soul bone?

Could it be that the soul bone really fell from the sky?

After finishing their meal in the cafeteria, the four waved goodbye and returned to their dormitories to absorb the immortal herbs and soul bones.

Lin Chen's absorption of the external soul bone went quite smoothly. With his current physique, he could absorb a soul ring that was over 60,000 years old, let alone a soul bone that was over 1,000 years old.

Indeed, with the blessing of the 100,000-year spirit ring, Lin Chen's physical attributes were enhanced once again, and the age of the spirit rings he could absorb increased by another 10,000 years.

After absorbing the soul bone, Lin Chen's soul power increased by 1 level, reaching level 46.

For the next two years, Lin Chen stayed in the outer courtyard, doing nothing. During this time, he also sent the Narcissus Jade Bone plant to Zhang Lexuan.

In two years, Lin Chen raised his soul power to level 50, but he has not yet obtained a soul ring. He will only know his exact level after absorbing a soul ring.

Speaking of spirit rings, Lin Chen also obtained a spirit ring concealment technique from Qian Renxue, which can not only change the color of spirit rings, but also change the number of spirit rings.

Imagine your opponent seeing you reveal five spirit rings and thinking you're just a minor spirit king, then suddenly four more spirit rings appear. Their expression must be priceless.

Lin Chen also used this skill to conceal his fourth spirit ring as an ordinary thousand-year spirit ring, which drew ridicule from Wang Dong, whose fourth spirit ring was only ten thousand years old. Wang Dong, therefore, felt he was stronger than Lin Chen.

Damn it, if I show you my 100,000-year soul ring, you'll be scared half to death.

However, Lin Chen himself didn't care about these things. He just wanted to live his life well. His primary goal was to cultivate and take revenge, to take control of his own destiny. He didn't think about anything else.

That day, Lin Chen was sitting by the Sea God Lake in a daze when a loud dragon roar from Sea God Island pulled him back to reality.

Dragon God Douluo still perished.

"It seems that your Limit Douluo has not truly died," Qian Renxue said. With her cultivation level, she could naturally perceive much more than Lin Chen.

Of course, they were no match for Lin Chen, who had a god-like perspective.

"But they still perished. Shrek Academy's safety has been greatly reduced," Lin Chen sighed.

"It's good that you know that, so you need to cultivate even harder to achieve your goal. Those below the title level are like ants. Once the war begins, without the cultivation of a titled Douluo, you're just cannon fodder."

When Lin Chen chatted with Qian Renxue, they would often talk about the situation on the mainland, so Qian Renxue had some understanding of the current situation on the mainland.

She herself was a participant in the Battle of Jialing Pass and understood the cruelty of war better than Lin Chen, which is why she warned Lin Chen, since they were in the same boat.

Who could have imagined that a continent that had no more than ten Title Douluos ten thousand years ago would be filled with Title Douluos after the war began?

Lin Chen therefore cultivated even more diligently.

"Dean Yan, I'm here to apply for the soul ring that I was awarded as a prize in the freshman competition four years ago."
