Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 40 Laughing at the World Has Arrived

Hearing the sound, Lin Chen knew that it was the resentment of the Thunder Qilin that had arrived.

"I didn't expect that after so many days, his soul power would still be so strong."

The Thunder Qilin was still churning in Lin Chen's sea of ​​consciousness, attempting to shatter it or at least drive him insane. But in the next instant, it could no longer churn.

A sacred and majestic aura appeared, making it hard for the Thunder Qilin's soul to breathe.

It was Qian Renxue's soul.

With a flick of her finger, a thin beam of light pierced through the Thunder Qilin's soul, vanishing without a trace in an instant.

Lin Chen's mental strength had never reached the level of a Title Douluo, so it was truly difficult for him to withstand the soul shock of a 100,000-year-old soul beast on his own.

It has to be an angel!

After Qian Renxue's two interventions, Lin Chen can now absorb this 60,000-year soul ring without any soul vibration with ease.

Six hours later, Lin Chen completed the absorption of the spirit ring, bringing his spirit power to level 54. The spirit ring granted him one level, the spirit bone also granted him one level, and the remaining two levels were the levels Lin Chen had accumulated over the past two years. So, in total, Lin Chen increased his spirit power by 6 levels in two years, which is an astonishing speed for a spirit master with extreme attributes.

Although the spirit ring was sealed by Qian Renxue, its essence as a 100,000-year spirit ring remained, so this black spirit ring still provided Lin Chen with two spirit skills. Just like the spirit ring that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm gave to Huo Yuhao, although Tianmeng Ice Silkworm set up ten seals, Huo Yuhao's first spirit ring still had four spirit skills.

As a former Angel Goddess, Qian Renxue's methods are certainly not comparable to those of the giant insect, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

"How are you feeling?" Zhang Lexuan asked, genuinely worried that Lin Chen's body might have problems after absorbing so many spirit rings beyond his level.

"I feel full of power, and my soul power has reached level 54." Lin Chen stretched his body, released five soul rings (yellow, purple, red, and black), and said to Zhang Lexuan.

Zhang Lexuan looked at Lin Chen, feeling a surge of relief followed by speechlessness. The relief stemmed from witnessing Lin Chen's growth, a genuine feeling of satisfaction. The speechlessness arose from the astonishing speed of his leveling up; his soul power increased as easily as drinking water.

In other words, Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan's temperament far surpasses that of others. If a few children from the outer academy saw Lin Chen's leveling speed, they would probably be so angry that they would vomit blood.

"That's good, let's go back to the academy." After six days of recovery, Zhang Lexuan's condition had returned to its peak. Now that things were settled here, it was time to return to the academy.

Just like when I came, it took me three days to get back to the academy.

"I'm going back now, this trip has been exhausting," Zhang Lexuan said to Lin Chen, and then flew straight towards Poseidon Island.

After visiting Yan Shaozhe and reporting his situation to him, Lin Chen returned to his ordinary life.

That evening, in Lin Chen's dormitory, Zhou Mingxing said to Lin Chen, "Brother Lin, you have no idea how arrogant that new student Xiao Hongchen from your class is. He directly declared that he would challenge all the disciples of the outer academy, and he has not lost a single time in the past few days. He even lost to Dai Huabin, the strongest student in Class Two."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen felt a headache coming on. He had almost forgotten about coming to Shrek Academy, and that someone was even in the same class as him. Things were about to get messy.

"Also, I heard that his sister is pursuing Wang Dong relentlessly," Zhou Mingxing added.

Lin Chen: Are these two siblings a little off their minds? Xiao Hongchen takes drugs for the competition, and Meng Hongchen is heartbroken. They really are like a pair of sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks.

"Why do you care about them? Those two are a bit mentally unstable," Lin Chen said, before entering into cultivation.

Zhou Mingxing simply shrugged and also immersed himself in cultivation.

The two of them cultivated in silence for the entire night.

The next morning, Lin Chen arrived at the classroom and, as expected, saw Xiao Hongchen. The latter seemed to sense something as well, turning his head to look back.

The moment he saw Lin Chen, he completely lost his composure.

In the first few days after arriving at Shrek Academy, he searched everywhere for Lin Chen, but couldn't find a trace of him. So Xiao Hongchen naively thought that this Shrek disciple who might have been in control of Mingde Hall's confidential information had died. At that time, he was overjoyed.

Seeing Lin Chen sitting alive and well, Xiao Hongchen's heart immediately tightened again.

"If he really knows some top-secret information about Mingde Hall and tells Shrek Academy, it would be a devastating blow to Mingde Hall. I need to find a way to get him to talk. If he really knows something, then..." Xiao Hongchen thought to himself.

Lin Chen had no time to guess Xiao Hongchen's thoughts; he simply picked up a book and started reading.

The two arrived quite early, and students are only now starting to arrive one after another.

"Brother, what are you looking at?" At this moment, Meng Hongchen sat down next to Xiao Hongchen and asked.

Xiao Hongchen pointed to Lin Chen behind him.

Meng Hongchen looked back and saw Lin Chen reading a book. She exclaimed in surprise, "Lin Chen! So he's in this class! He's participating in the Soul Battle Tournament with Wang Dong. Are they close?"

Laughing at the World: ...

"Little Tu!" A loli voice rang out, and even a fool would know it was Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao quickly ran to Lin Chen's side and sat down, talking non-stop about what had happened in the academy in the past few days, among which the most outstanding thing was how Xiao Hongchen and his sister had defeated everyone in the outer academy.

"Why aren't you guys up here?" Lin Chen asked.

"Leilei can't beat Xiao Hongchen, who's covered in soul tools. Wang Dong and I are already inner court disciples, so even if we could beat him, it wouldn't matter," Xiao Xiao said, pursing her lips.

That's right, Xiao Xiao came with Lin Xiaolei and Wang Dong.

"Yes, his body covered in metal grime is really troublesome," Lin Xiaolei added, sitting down next to Xiao Xiao.

Wang Dong walked around the three people and sat down on the other side of Lin Chen.

Two years have passed. Xiao Xiao has matured a bit; Lin Xiaolei has become more voluptuous and has a more graceful demeanor, resembling Zhang Lexuan in some ways; as for Wang Dong, he hasn't changed much, except that his hair has grown a bit longer.

Bei Bei, Jiang Nannan, and Xu Sanshi had already become inner court disciples, so Lin Chen had basically never seen them.

As Lin Chen had predicted, Xiao Hongchen approached him after class.

"Lin Chen, fight me. If you win, I'll give you a level-five soul tool. If I win, you have to tell me how you knew the secrets of our Mingde Hall," Xiao Hongchen said provocatively.

"I won't fight," Lin Chen resolutely refused.

"Why? Are all the students from the outer academy this cowardly? Looks like I'll have to challenge the inner academy instead," Xiao Hongchen said.

Unfortunately, the provocation had no effect on Lin Chen, and didn't even stir up the slightest ripple in his heart.

Seeing Lin Chen turn to leave, Xiao Hongchen became anxious and said, "A level six soul tool."

"I won't fight."

"Level 7 Soul Tool".

"beat!"
