Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 51 Advancement

Looking at the soul bone that was flashing with a dazzling blue light, Lin Chen's chest heaved.

My luck is just too good! This soul bone just exploded like that?

They quickly put away the soul bone, fearing that it would be disastrous if an outside soul master saw it.

After searching the surroundings, Lin Chen discovered a cave not far away, with no soul beasts approaching.

"Sister Renxue, is this cave dangerous? What if we almost died like last time?" Lin Chen asked Qian Renxue in front of the cave.

"There is no danger," Qian Renxue replied after sensing with her divine sense.

"Really?" Lin Chen was still a little uneasy.

"Would I harm you? What would I do if you died? Come in or don't come in, it's up to you!" Qian Renxue said irritably.

"Come in, come in, don't be angry." Lin Chen hurriedly walked into the cave while comforting Qian Renxue.

He took the saber-toothed tiger's corpse out of the storage bag, and a black spirit ring slowly floated out as well.

"Let's absorb the skull of that blue-eyed divine tiger first," Qian Renxue said.

Lin Chen nodded. He thought so too. The head soul bone of a spirit-type soul beast can greatly enhance a soul master's spiritual power. With stronger spiritual power, it will be easier to resist the soul impact of a soul beast.

Although Qian Renxue exists within Lin Chen's spiritual sea, she has explicitly told him that she will not intervene unless absolutely necessary. Lin Chen also does not wish to become dependent on Qian Renxue.

Solving problems by relying on one's own strength and facing difficulties head-on is the only way to become a strong person.

Lin Chen held the skull of the blue-eyed divine tiger in his hands, sat down cross-legged, and slowly closed his eyes.

When Lin Chen began absorbing the soul bone, a strong mental fluctuation emanated from his body. Qian Renxue was also drawn to this strong mental fluctuation.

"This guy is really unexpected." Although she had expected Lin Chen to have mental fluctuations, Qian Renxue never expected that these fluctuations would be so strong.

As the mental fluctuations were slowly injected into the skull, the blue light on the Blue-Eyed Divine Tiger skull suddenly intensified, almost instantly enveloping Lin Chen's body and radiating a blue glow.

Enveloped in blue light, Lin Chen first felt a wisp of cold soul power flowing into his spiritual sea, making him feel incredibly comfortable.

A cool sensation entered directly from between his eyebrows, gradually stimulating his brain. Wherever it passed, his brain seemed to be gradually opened up, and his mental strength continued to soar in the process.

That wonderful, comfortable, and transparent feeling was something Lin Chen had only experienced when he used the Gold of Life to cleanse his body and spiritual sea; he had never felt it again in his subsequent cultivation.

"The function of this soul bone should be similar to the wisdom skull that condenses spiritual energy," Lin Chen pondered.

Under the influence of this skull, Lin Chen's mental power increased rapidly. The originally invisible mental power was slowly condensing into a blue figure, which was none other than Lin Chen himself.

Lin Chen never expected that this head soul bone could make his spiritual power tangible and even separate from his body. The enormous spiritual fluctuations and the spiritual body that separated from his body showed that Lin Chen's spiritual power had entered the level of a Title Douluo, and he was more adept at using his spiritual power in various ways.

He condensed his spiritual body and slowly stared into Qian Renxue's eyes, leaving the latter speechless.

"Get out!" Qian Renxue said coldly.

Lin Chen knew Qian Renxue's personality, so he didn't argue with her. He smiled brightly and withdrew his spiritual body.

Strong mental strength is crucial for Soul Masters, even determining the course of a battle. Although Lin Chen isn't a mental-type Soul Master, his strong mental strength is still beneficial to him. Controlling Soul Skills and outputting Soul Power both require strong mental strength as a foundation.

In less than an hour, Lin Chen had completed the absorption of the soul bone, and his spiritual power also underwent a transformation.

After absorbing the soul bone, Lin Chen did not stop. He immediately drew the black soul ring of the saber-toothed tiger onto himself.

Under the influence of his powerful mental strength, the saber-toothed tiger's soul attack posed no threat to Lin Chen, and with his strong physical attributes, he could easily withstand the impact of the soul ring energy.

It can only be said that the saber-toothed tiger truly lives up to its reputation as a powerful tiger-type spirit beast. Its energy impact is incomparable to that of ordinary ten-thousand-year-old spirit beasts, and the energy contained in its spirit rings far surpasses that of ordinary ten-thousand-year-old spirit beasts. No wonder it could single-handedly contend with the Blue-Eyed Divine Tiger, which controlled a massive pack of tigers. If Lin Chen were to face it at its peak, he probably wouldn't be confident of winning unless he called for a substitute fighter.

The saber-toothed tiger must have suffered a great shock to its soul. It must have died a very aggrieved death. Not only was it ganged up on, but Lin Chen also benefited from it and became Lin Chen's "dowry".

Three hours later, Lin Chen had safely absorbed the saber-toothed tiger's spirit ring and was now a true level 61 offensive-type battle spirit emperor, with his mental strength comparable to that of an ordinary titled Douluo.

As expected, Lin Chen obtained a group attack type soul skill, which was the Sword Douluo's Ten Thousand Swords Return to One. It can conjure countless Seven Kill Swords, which fall on the enemy like raindrops, and its destructive power can be described as "terrifying".

Taking out a map, Lin Chen confirmed his current location and then looked towards the northeast.

That's the direction where Tianlin City is located. No, this city is now called Tianwang City.

Without hesitation, Lin Chen took out the Invisibility Veil and activated his Life Domain. He concealed himself while using the power of life to keep himself in peak condition at all times, because another great battle was about to begin.

"Tianlin City, the Wang family, Wang Lei, I, Lin Chen, have returned!"

Wang Lei, who was far away, couldn't help but shiver, but he didn't take it seriously at all, treating it as a normal phenomenon.

"Brother Lei, I heard that little bastard has already gone to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain his sixth soul ring. I'm worried..." In Wang Lei's room, a young woman lay naked on Wang Lei's chest, speaking seductively.

Wang Lei, standing beside him, was also stripped of his clothes and panting heavily.

Upon hearing the beautiful woman's words, Wang Lei burst into laughter. "Soul Emperor? Hahahaha, does he really think that reaching the Soul Emperor realm means he can challenge me? If he dares to come, I'll make sure he doesn't leave alive!"

"Oh?" The beautiful woman traced her index finger across Wang Lei's chest, her face full of satisfaction. Then she said, "Looks like Brother Lei is very confident. It seems that little beast is going to be in trouble."

"That's right, compared to him, our affairs are more important."

Before the beautiful woman could react, Wang Lei picked her up again and walked straight to the bed.

The beautiful woman blushed, but said nothing, letting Wang Lei hold her.

Five days later, Lin Chen arrived at Heavenly King City.
