Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 54 War Begins

The Wang family members, who were holding a banquet, were taken aback by this sudden action and were at a loss for what to do.

Wang Lei even abandoned the banquet and ran to his room.

"No need to look anymore, I'm right here." Lin Chen appeared in front of him and said in a cold tone.

"Hahaha, hahaha, who do we have here? It's you, you stray dog! Hahahaha!" Wang Lei burst into laughter.

At that moment, a voice abruptly stopped his loud laughter.

"Wang Lei." The figure of the man in black robes appeared behind Lin Chen.

"Sir, what's wrong with you...?" Wang Lei said in disbelief.

Before he could finish speaking, the man in black robes waved his hand to interrupt Wang Lei, saying, "I didn't help him in any way. I just admire his talent. He promised me that if he could kill you, he would join my Holy Sect. If he dies by your hand, then it is fate."

Hearing the man in black robes' words, Wang Lei said, unwilling to give up, "Sir, but you said back then..."

"I am a member of the Holy Church, and I serve only the Holy Church. Don't forget who gave you the cultivation technique that you have today!" the black-robed man rebuked.

Wang Lei fell silent.

"But I also promise you that I will spare your son's life," the man in black robes added.

The only response he received was Wang Lei's silence.

After a moment, Wang Lei slowly raised his head, stared at Lin Chen, and said, "You really think that just because you've reached the Soul Emperor level, you dare to challenge me?"

"Wang Lei, you wiped out my entire clan back then, and then sent people to hunt me down. Let's settle all our old and new scores today." Lin Chen said calmly, looking at Wang Lei as if he were a dead man.

Wang Lei said no more and released seven spirit rings: two yellow, two purple, and three black.

"Level 79?! I didn't expect him to level up so quickly." Lin Chen couldn't help but be secretly surprised as he sensed Wang Lei's level with his mental power.

It's easy to imagine the quality of his class of '79.

Lin Chen also released his soul rings, which consisted of one yellow, three purple, and two black rings. He held the Seven Kill Sword in his hand, showing no sign of panic. He was confident that he could defeat anyone who wasn't a Soul Douluo.

Lin Chen hadn't expected to encounter that expert from the Holy Spirit Cult, but in this situation, he couldn't afford to make any more enemies; he could only try to appease the expert first.

That was a level 89 Soul Douluo, a full 10 levels higher than Wang Lei. If he and Wang Lei joined forces, the situation would likely become very troublesome.

"Oh? Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul? This child's talent is so powerful. If he joins my Holy Sect, he might become a Holy Son. Then I would be very fortunate." Looking at Lin Chen's Martial Soul and Soul Ring combination, the black-robed man thought to himself.

Seeing the composure on Lin Chen's face, Wang Lei said disdainfully, "Playing hard to get. So what if you have this kind of soul ring ratio? The difference in soul power is an insurmountable chasm, not to mention I have an extra ten-thousand-year soul ring."

Lin Chen, however, had already charged forward with his sword.

"The villain dies from talking too much; your death is not far off," Lin Chen thought to himself.

The momentum of the charge did not stop, and a sword struck Wang Lei.

"Third Soul Skill, Lizard Scale Armor!" Wang Lei unleashed the same defensive Soul Skill as Wang Zhong.

This is also a very common phenomenon. Families often draw on the experience of their predecessors and designate a certain soul beast as their soul ring.

With a loud crash, a bloody gash appeared on Wang Lei's body, clearly indicating that his scales had been broken.

Lin Chen is no longer the lowly Soul Master he once was. He used to need to use his Soul Rings and his Domain to break through a Soul Emperor's defenses. Now, breaking through a Soul Saint's defenses is a piece of cake. Moreover, Wang Lei only unleashed a thousand-year Soul Skill.

"Damn it, seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Form!" Emerald green light swept over his entire body, and Wang Lei looked like a giant lizard, but with an evil aura that was different from ordinary poisonous lizard martial souls.

"Second Soul Skill, Unleashed Sharpness! Fifth Soul Skill, Thunder Body!" Lin Chen's body blazed with lightning, and his aura surged accordingly.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Lizard Venom!" Wang Lei suddenly spat out a mouthful of phlegm, or rather, he suddenly sprayed a jet of venom at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen used the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) to leap back and forth in various directions, and Wang Lei's soul skill had no way to deal with him.

This soul skill is like Angela's ultimate move; it can only spray in one direction, and you can only rotate it at a very slow speed. It has no way to deal with Lin Chen's fancy footwork.

"That footwork is quite interesting." The man in black robes stood on the rooftop, watching the battle between Lin Chen and Wang Lei. When he saw Lin Chen's Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique), he couldn't help but become interested. Even with his extensive experience, he had never seen such footwork before, yet it was being used by a child.

"Damn it!" Wang Lei cursed angrily when he couldn't hit Lin Chen. He then used his third soul skill again, this time using more soul power, and started fighting Lin Chen hand-to-hand.

Lin Chen fearlessly wielded the Seven Kill Sword and slashed at Wang Lei.

The intense collision immediately attracted countless members of the Wang family. Seeing that someone dared to assassinate Wang Lei, the Wang family members activated their martial spirits and attacked Lin Chen without saying a word.

"How dare he assassinate the clan leader? Kill him!" an elder shouted, immediately summoning his martial spirit to attack Lin Chen.

Led by the elder, the Wang family responded enthusiastically. Soul Masters summoned their Martial Souls, while those who weren't Soul Masters took out their weapons and all attacked Lin Chen.

The man in black robes had already concealed his presence. With his cultivation level, no one present could detect him except Lin Chen; however, the man in black robes was unaware of this.

"court death!"

Seeing the countless members of the royal family attacking him, Lin Chen immediately released his sixth soul skill, Ten Thousand Swords Return to One.

The sky was filled with Seven Kill Swords. With a wave of Lin Chen's hand, the swords rained down. Those members of the royal family whose cultivation was lower than that of a Soul Emperor had already died under Lin Chen's sixth Soul Skill, and those with the cultivation of a Soul Emperor were all on the verge of death.

Lin Chen had given "special attention" to the elder who had just led the group. At this moment, there were nine Seven Kill Swords stuck in his body. Although he was also a Soul Emperor, there was no longer any sign of life on his body.

"This kid is decisive and ruthless." Looking at the corpse on the ground, the man in black robes secretly admired him. The more he looked at this child, the more he liked him. He was decisive when facing enemies and calm when facing strong people. All these characteristics proved that this child was destined to be a holy son!

Seeing his clansmen lying dead on the ground, Wang Lei could no longer suppress his anger, and his eyes began to turn red.
