Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 52 Prologue

At this moment, Lin Chen was making a fire in the wilderness outside Tianwang City, pondering a detailed plan.

Forcing his way in would be the worst thing to do right now. Even if Wang Lei knew that Lin Chen had advanced to the Soul Emperor level, he couldn't possibly guess his exact location. Heavenly King City wasn't just a place where the Wang family held absolute power. Not to mention that the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family had troops stationed there, there seemed to be one or two other families that could rival the Wang family. At least, that was the case in Lin Chen's memory.

"I wonder if the situation in Tianlin City has changed over the years," Lin Chen muttered to himself.

After much deliberation, Lin Chen decided to first enter the city to investigate before making any further plans.

After disguising himself, Lin Chen entered the city.

When they saw the three large characters "Heavenly King City" engraved on the city gate, they were taken aback and felt a sense of foreboding. "Even the city name has been changed. Could it be that the Wang family in Tianlin City has truly become a one-man show?"

If that's the case, then it's somewhat beyond Lin Chen's expectations.

"So many years have passed, and I've finally returned to this city." Looking at Tianwang City now, Lin Chen was filled with emotion.

Returning to Tianlin City, his former home, Lin Chen couldn't help but want to visit his old home. However, when he arrived at the former site of the Lin family mansion, his anger rose again.

"Man, Chun, Lou." Lin Chen pronounced the name of the building in front of him word by word, his fists clenched tightly, his anger rising to its peak, but he dared not show it, lest others notice something amiss.

It would be troublesome if someone noticed something was amiss, so we can't expose ourselves right now.

Lin Chen glanced coldly at Manchunlou, then left, clenching his fists.

"What a Wang family! I'll wipe you all out and build a cemetery in your palace so that all the dead in the city can be buried there!" Lin Chen vowed in his heart.

If the family's old site were turned into shops or something, Lin Chen could accept it. But turning it into this kind of place is clearly an insult to the Lin family. How could Lin Chen not be furious? I'm afraid the spirits of the clansmen in heaven would be extremely angry if they saw this scene.

Even a fool could tell that it was that bastard Wang Lei who instigated it.

Moreover, Wang Lei himself is an extremely bloodthirsty person.

When Lin Chen was young, the relationship between the Lin and Wang families was fairly good. However, his father told him that the head of the Wang family was an extremely cruel and bloodthirsty person. At that time, Lin Chen did not believe it. Until one day, Lin Chen's father took him to the Wang mansion as a guest. At the dinner table, just because a servant accidentally broke a bowl, Wang Lei used his soul power to snap off his entire arm. Although Lin Chen's father covered his eyes in time, the strong smell of blood that hit him was still fresh in Lin Chen's memory.

Lin Chen then wandered around the entire Heavenly King City. For this operation, it was all or nothing, so it was essential to familiarize himself with the city's terrain beforehand.

Over the years, the streets, alleys, and house layout of Tianlin City must have undergone tremendous changes, so it is necessary to scout the area in advance. This knowledge, accumulated by the Chinese nation over thousands of years, is of great use to Lin Chen.

As he walked, he fully activated his mental power to check if anyone was following him. With his Title Douluo-level mental power, anyone who dared to follow him would have nowhere to hide under his mental power.

"Mental power? Right, how come I didn't think of that?" Upon thinking of mental power, Lin Chen immediately clapped his hands, as if he had discovered a new world.

Inside a secluded hotel

"Boss, I need a room." Lin Chen took out a gold soul coin, placed it on the table, and said to the boss.

Lin Chen had already investigated this hotel; it was a privately owned establishment, so there wouldn't be any Wang family spies around.

Upon seeing that Lin Chen had taken out gold soul coins, the innkeeper immediately went to arrange a room for Lin Chen with great joy.

"Alright, sir, please wait a moment."

A short while later, the owner led Lin Chen to the third floor, opened the door to a room, and said respectfully, "Sir, this is our best room. We hope you won't find it unpleasant."

"Yes, thank you for your trouble," Lin Chen replied casually.

Lin Chen quickly locked the door and immediately released his spiritual power, dispersing his vast spiritual energy strand by strand, which landed on the ants, rats, and other creatures in the various dark corners of the city. With Lin Chen's Title Douluo-level spiritual power, covering an entire city was naturally no problem.

This way, not only can one avoid being detected by powerful individuals due to excessive mental strength, but one can also gain the perspectives of various creatures, control those creatures at will to scout for oneself, and avoid alerting the enemy, thus preventing discovery by the Wang family. It's practically killing four birds with one stone.

If he only had one spiritual entity, even disregarding the presence of a Title Douluo-level expert, it would take a considerable amount of time to survey the entire city with just one spiritual entity. Furthermore, condensing multiple spiritual entities would also significantly deplete Lin Chen's mental energy. Therefore, transferring his mental energy into the bodies of some tiny creatures is currently the best solution.

This skull also inherited the Blue-Eyed Divine Tiger's abilities, allowing it to control creatures with lower mental strength than itself. The mental strength of those ants and rats was already weak, practically nonexistent, making it incredibly easy for Lin Chen to control them.

"You do have some skills." Qian Renxue said with admiration as she looked at the beams of light forming within her sea of ​​consciousness.

"If I had enough strength, I wouldn't need to go through all this trouble." While constantly checking the situation in the city, Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh again.

Even if he had the strength of a level 95 Super Douluo, let alone a peerless Douluo, sweeping through the entire Heavenly King City would be a piece of cake. With the two greatest Limit Douluos in the world in the Sun Moon Empire, Lin Chen was confident that if he wanted to leave, no Super Douluo could stop him.

Of course, these are all unrealistic fantasies. Right now, Lin Chen is still an ant, but an extraordinary ant.

Even a tiny ant can have the power to shake an elephant!

"Take it one step at a time, slowly." Qian Renxue unusually refrained from discouraging Lin Chen.

With a smile, Lin Chen ignored Qian Renxue and continued to observe everything in Tianwang City.

A few days later

"That bastard is such a scumbag, changing women every day." Within her spiritual sea, Qian Renxue couldn't help but curse as she watched Wang Lei embracing a woman.

Over the course of several days, Lin Chen had thoroughly familiarized himself with the entire city, memorizing everything from the major buildings to the sewers. He had also discovered Wang Lei's whereabouts long ago, which showed that the guy was quite lucky with women. He hadn't been seen with the same woman twice in the past few days, and today was already the fifth one, which was why Qian Renxue couldn't help but scold him.

"Why should a dying person hold a grudge?"

The prelude to a great war is about to begin.
