Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 34 Zhou Mingxing's Fourth Soul Ring

Accompanying them this time was a teacher at the Soul Emperor level, so that the teacher could escort Zhou Mingxing back to the academy after he obtained his Soul Ring.

All I can say is that the senior sister is good at making arrangements and has a sharp mind.

"His situation is different from yours. The soul beast he's hunting this time is a ten-thousand-year-old one. You can't be of much help if you stay here," Zhang Lexuan explained to Zhou Mingxing.

"Yes, you go back first. I'll come back to find you after I get the soul ring," Lin Chen agreed.

Zhou Mingxing nodded and replied, "Okay."

As for the teacher, there would be no objection, given Zhang Lexuan's status.

The four of them continued their journey and arrived at the area where the thousand-year-old soul beasts lived.

"Sigh, these soul beasts are really hard to find," Lin Chen said, stretching. He'd been searching for three days straight, and what was the result? Not a single one.

"Be patient, obtaining a spirit ring is not an easy task," Zhang Lexuan said irritably.

The four of them resumed their search in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Before long, a huge footprint caught the attention of the four.

"These should be the footprints of a scaled beast, but we'll have to wait until we see them to know their exact age," the teacher in charge of the group said.

Zhang Lexuan nodded, "Okay, let's follow the footprints and see if we can find it."

Everyone nodded and began searching along the footprints.

After following the footprints for ten minutes, the footprints became denser and denser. Zhang Lexuan guessed that the scaled beast was nearby, so she activated her mental perception.

As expected, under Zhang Lexuan's Title Douluo-level mental perception, she spotted the Scaled Beast hunting its prey not far ahead.

Yes, Zhang Lexuan has already broken through to the Title Douluo realm. When Lin Chen first met her, Zhang Lexuan was already a Soul Douluo, but she hadn't yet obtained her Soul Ring. Now, nearly ten years later, Zhang Lexuan has already reached level 89, stuck at a bottleneck, just one step away from breaking through to the Title Douluo realm.

The Narcissus Jade Bone that Lin Chen gave her naturally helped her break through to the Title Douluo level, but she hadn't yet obtained a Soul Ring.

However, this is quite some time earlier than the original work.

"The Scaled Beast is at the three o'clock position ahead," Zhang Lexuan said, implying that everyone should prepare for battle.

"Let me do it!" Lin Chen said excitedly.

After saying that, he grabbed the Seven Kill Sword and charged out, as he also wanted to train his combat skills.

Aside from promotion assessments, Lin Chen has barely exercised in the past two years. How could he let such a great opportunity slip by?

He rushed up behind the Qilin Beast and, before the Qilin Beast could react, slashed down with his sword.

Immediately, blood flowed profusely from the back of the Scaled Beast, and the beast itself let out a mournful roar.

After absorbing the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass's spirit ring, the attribute enhancement from the 100,000-year spirit ring, combined with the inherent characteristics of the Seven Kill Sword, made its attack power comparable to a peak Soul King. With the enhancement of spirit skills, it could even threaten a Soul Saint. If all the spirit rings were detonated, amplified by the 100,000-year spirit ring, it could unleash an attack comparable to an ordinary Soul Douluo. However, Lin Chen wouldn't do that, because it would be tantamount to suicide.

When he had two or three spirit rings, Lin Chen could barely withstand the energy of a hundred-year spirit ring and a thousand-year spirit ring, but he couldn't withstand the energy of a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring. Unless absolutely necessary, Lin Chen would not consider destroying his fourth spirit ring.

Seeing the injured Scaled Beast on its back, Lin Chen did not hesitate and charged forward again with the Seven Kill Sword.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted!

The scaled beast, disregarding its pain, lashed out at Lin Chen with its tail.

Seeing this, Lin Chen remained calm and used his sword energy to form a sword aura for defense.

On the surface, Lin Chen appeared to have been sent flying by the Scaled Beast and crashed into a large rock, but in reality, his injuries were not serious.

The Scaled Beast was staring intently at Lin Chen, but did not run away.

The thousand-year-old soul beasts have developed a certain level of intelligence. This scaled beast knows very well that when it comes to speed, there are probably few in the entire Star Dou Great Forest that are slower than it. Therefore, it never runs away in its usual battles; it's either die or live.

Lin Chen blasted the rocks away, got up, and looked at the Scaled Beast. There was no anger in his eyes, only excitement and fighting spirit.

With his second soul skill amplifying his power, Lin Chen's aura surged, and he charged towards the Scaled Beast once again.

He swung his sword, only to be met with the paw of the Qilin Beast.

The Scaled Beast excels at close-quarters combat and its defense is also top-notch.

Unfortunately, it's only within the same level.

Lin Chen's Seven Kill Sword's attack power is far beyond what a Soul Master can match. Now, if he wanted to, the title of the strongest attacker in the outer academy would undoubtedly belong to him.

Beibei's attack was a joke in front of him.

The scaled beast's hand was instantly sliced ​​in two and fell to the ground. Losing its balance, its entire body involuntarily collapsed.

Taking advantage of the opening in the Qilin Armor Beast's defense, Lin Chen used the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) to sever the meridians in its limbs with the Seven Kill Sword, rendering it unable to move normally. Then he called Zhou Mingxing over.

"All done, Star, kill it, and the spirit ring is yours," Lin Chen said to Zhou Star.

Without hesitation, Zhou Mingxing swiftly brought down his blade, ending the life of the scaled beast, and then sat cross-legged on the ground to absorb the soul ring.

"Not bad," Zhang Lexuan said to Lin Chen.

"Vice Dean, you flatter me," Lin Chen said modestly. After all, there was another teacher present, and Lin Chen didn't want him to think that he was very familiar with Zhang Lexuan, as that might give him leverage against him.

Although Zhang Lexuan and Lin Chen didn't do anything wrong.

About two hours later, Zhou Mingxing, who was sitting on the ground, finally finished absorbing the spirit ring and his spirit power reached level 41.

"Celebrity, now that you've absorbed the spirit ring, let's head back. Lin Chen and I need to go a little deeper," Zhang Lexuan said.

Zhou Mingxing nodded and left with the teacher.

"Let's go." Zhang Lexuan waved to Lin Chen.

The latter quickly followed.

"What are your thoughts on this fifth spirit ring?" Zhang Lexuan asked.

"Sister Lexuan, I want a ranged attack soul skill," Lin Chen replied. Yes, that's right, it's Ten Thousand Swords Return to One.

"Let's look for it first; these kinds of soul beasts are not easy to find."

Lin Chen followed Zhang Lexuan deep into the Star Dou Great Forest, searching for a day and a night, but of course, the result was... oh no, of course, they found nothing.

"Lin Chen, there is a Sacred Soul Grass three miles to the west that can help me restore my soul. If you can, go and fetch it for me." Qian Renxue's voice suddenly appeared in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Lin Chen pointed west and said to Zhang Lexuan, "Sister Lexuan, let's take a look in that direction."
