Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 46

Watching Zhang Lexuan's departing figure, Lin Chen pondered, "It seems that Sister Lexuan was already at the ninth level of the 100,000-year soul ring in the original work. Although Sister Lexuan broke through to level 90 ahead of time due to the Narcissus Jade Bone, her 100,000-year soul ring should be a sure thing."

Thinking of this, Lin Chen felt much more at ease and then headed towards the dormitory.

"If you want to improve your cultivation quickly, you can go to the place where you first met me to cultivate. The Angel Space created by the previous Angel God is still there. You should be able to improve your cultivation speed there," Qian Renxue said.

"Why didn't you say so sooner?" Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Lin Chen immediately became restless.

"What's the point of telling you? Do you think you can skip school? If you disappear for days on end for no reason, that girl will beat you up sooner or later." Qian Renxue rolled her eyes.

Lin Chen was speechless, because what Qian Renxue said was true. Sister Le Xuan would never allow Lin Chen to disappear for so many days without a reason.

"Why didn't you say so before?" Lin Chen was still unwilling to give up.

Qian Renxue said calmly, "Those below level 50 cannot enter."

Lin Chen: ...

He rushed to the place where he first met Qian Renxue.

With a wave of Qian Renxue's hand, a golden energy gate appeared on the stone wall, and Lin Chen slowly walked in.

When he reappeared, Lin Chen was standing on a huge circular platform, surrounded by six angel statues, exuding an aura of majesty and holiness.

Lin Chen began to cultivate in this space.

Two months later, Lin Chen's soul power had reached the bottleneck of level 60, and he was currently trying to break through to level 60.

After breaking through level 60, Lin Chen needed to begin to comprehend his own sword intent. Lin Chen was repeatedly asking himself what his sword intent was.

At the same time, he kept reflecting on his original intention of embarking on the path of cultivation.

He cultivates himself for revenge; to avoid being manipulated and becoming a pawn of fate; and to roam the world freely and live a joyful life.

Various thoughts flooded Lin Chen's mind. In an instant, a vast and boundless sword intent erupted from Lin Chen's body, combining with the killing intent of the Seven Kill Sword. Lin Chen's killing intent and his own sword intent completely merged, forming a vast and boundless killing aura. The Seven Kill Domain burst forth uncontrollably, combining with that killing aura, and countless sword energies filled with killing intent instantly appeared within the domain. The bottleneck of level 60 was also broken through by Lin Chen in one fell swoop.

Where the mind goes, the sword follows! Lin Chen also used the sword intent he sensed to break through the level 60 bottleneck. Next, he only needs to acquire a soul ring to become a true Soul Emperor.

Feeling the soul power fluctuations brought about by the breakthrough, Qian Renxue breathed a sigh of relief. After all, in the process of cultivation, one wrong move could lead to a qi deviation.

Lin Chen sat up, cracked his bones, and then said with a relaxed expression, "Let's go, it's time to go back to the academy."

"Aren't we going to get a spirit ring?" Qian Renxue asked.

"Let's talk about it later, otherwise Sister Lexuan will get angry again after being missing for so long," Lin Chen replied.

"You seem quite interested in that girl, so be it." With that, Qian Renxue transformed into a golden ray of light and plunged straight into Lin Chen's spiritual sea. At the same time, a golden door appeared before Lin Chen.

"Sister Renxue, can I still come here to cultivate in the future?" Lin Chen asked, not wanting to give up such a good cultivation place.

Qian Renxue nodded.

Lin Chen walked out, looked at the familiar cave, and without hesitation, stepped on the Seven Kill Sword and flew straight towards Shrek Academy.

The timing was perfect; Lin Chen returned to school just the night before the opening ceremony, so he wasn't late.

"I wonder how Sister Lexuan is doing?" Lin Chen muttered to himself.

The following day, after the opening ceremony, Yan Shaozhe announced loudly, "The promotion assessments for each grade will begin shortly. Your homeroom teachers will take you to the assessment venue. The assessment content will be determined by the academy based on your individual soul power levels."

Looking at Yan Shaozhe on the stage, Lin Chen knew that Zhang Lexuan had successfully obtained her ninth spirit ring and advanced to the title of Douluo.

Led by Wang Yan, Class 1 of Grade 5 arrived at the Colosseum.

As fifth-year students of Shrek Academy's outer court, their cultivation levels are no longer like they were in the second and third years, when they were either Great Soul Masters or Initial Soul Grandmasters. Now, in Class 1 of the fifth grade, only Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and Lin Chen have broken through to Soul King. Lin Xiaolei is at the peak of Soul Grandmaster, just one step away from breaking through to Soul King.

The first to go on stage was Lin Chen, who was the one with the highest apparent soul power in Class 1 of Grade 5.

"Lin Chen, a level 56 offensive weapon spirit king, will face off against the ten-thousand-year-old Bloodthirsty Demon Bear," the referee announced.

Lin Chen stepped onto the stage, releasing his martial spirit, while five spirit rings—yellow, purple, purple, and black—surrounded his body.

The cage opened, and a bloodthirsty demonic bear with crimson eyes rushed out, heading straight for Lin Chen.

Undeterred, Lin Chen wielded the Seven Kill Sword and clashed with the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear.

The Bloodthirsty Demon Bear is one of the more powerful bear-type soul beasts, with extremely strong attack and defense capabilities, but it is still insufficient against the Seven Kill Sword.

Lin Chen, wielding the Seven Kill Sword, directly collided with the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear's slapping paw, leaving a huge, deep wound on the bear's paw that exposed bone.

The Bloodthirsty Demon Bear was clearly enraged and immediately activated its innate skill, Bloodlust! This temporarily enhanced all its attributes, including physical abilities, in preparation for close-quarters combat with Lin Chen.

Lin Chen slashed at the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear, leaving only a bloodstain half the size of the previous one, and then saw the huge bear paw slam towards him.

Lin Chen used the Lingbo Weibu technique, constantly moving around the edge of the Soul Battle Arena, trying to buy time until the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear's bloodlust enhancement ended.

But the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear was no pushover. It immediately slammed its palms onto the Soul Arena, unleashing another innate skill: Earthquake Wave!

A terrifying shockwave swept towards Lin Chen, but he remained calm and activated his sword aura defense. Since comprehending sword intent, his sword energy and sword aura had become even more powerful, easily capable of withstanding the skills of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.
