Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 73 Battle for Supremacy

It's not that Lin Chen is reckless. First, Lin Chen doesn't intend to steal anything. Second, they are core disciples of the outer academy, carrying Shrek Academy's exclusive distress signal. Furthermore, just now when Lin Chen and Lin Xiaolei were changing clothes, Lin Chen also felt a powerful spiritual force fall on them, but it was not malicious, just an investigation.

The owner of that spiritual power was Lin Huiqun.

"Xiaolei, there's a canyon on that mountain ahead. Let's go up through the woods on the side." After walking a considerable distance from Lin Chen in Shrek City, he said to Lin Xiaolei.

"Okay," Lin Xiaolei nodded in response.

The two went up from the side and reached the top of the mountain.

Lin Chen gently patted the storage bag, infused it with soul power, and the invisibility veil immediately appeared in his hand.

"What's this?" Lin Xiaolei asked, puzzled.

"This is a good thing I got at the night market, called the Invisibility Veil. It can help us become invisible." Without saying anything more, he poured his soul power into the Invisibility Veil, which suddenly grew larger, enveloping Lin Chen and Lin Xiaolei.

"Xiao Tu, this thing of yours is actually quite useful," Lin Xiaolei said softly.

Lin Chen nodded, and his Life Domain expanded, covering the entire area of ​​the invisibility veil, completely assimilating the auras of the two people and the surrounding life energy.

Why did Lin Chen choose the grove? The grove not only provided cover for the two of them, but it also contained abundant life energy, allowing the Life Domain to take effect. In this way, unless a Limit Douluo arrived, no one would be able to discover Lin Chen and Lin Xiaolei.

Lin Chen had immense confidence in his ability to conceal his abilities.

Next, all we need to do is sit back and watch the show.

Although most factions publicly announced that they would return to their respective clans in three days, it was clear to everyone that this was a way to buy time for the people transporting the treasure.

They will definitely send people from their respective tribes to transport the proceeds from this auction back to their tribes in advance.

Therefore, many Soul Masters also came here to ambush. Most people thought the same as Lin Chen: this canyon was steep and covered by trees, making it the best place to ambush.

When Lin Chen arrived, he had already sensed no less than twenty auras. However, due to Lin Chen's disguise, Lin Chen and Lin Xiaolei seemed to have vanished into thin air in the eyes of others.

The others didn't pay much attention, or rather, they didn't dare to pay attention. Perhaps only a Title Douluo could have such methods.

"There are a total of 8 Soul Douluo-level powerhouses in the woods on both sides, 6 of whom have reached level 89 in Soul Power," Lin Chen said softly.

Lin Xiaolei nodded, not daring to utter a sound. Facing so many powerful individuals for the first time, she couldn't help but feel nervous. Despite her family's wealth, she had never actually dealt with powerful people before, and the things ordinary people used were useless against them.

From childhood to adulthood, her family only had two guest elders who were Soul Douluo. Under such circumstances, her family's wealth was comparable to that of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, which shows that her parents were also exceptionally talented.

"They're here!" Lin Chen said in a low voice, and Lin Xiaolei's gaze immediately focused on the passageway between the canyons.

Several low-level Soul Masters were seen running very fast through the passageway, clearly aware that there might be an ambush and wanting to get through quickly.

Clearly, these are some free Soul Masters with no special background; the highest level they have is only a level 72 Soul Saint.

None of the powerful figures lying in ambush made a move; they didn't even consider the resources of a Soul Saint. Their target was those easy prey.

The Soul Saint and his underlings quickly passed through the canyon and disappeared into the passageway.

In Lin Chen's perception, a Soul Douluo-level expert was chasing after the Soul Saint from before.

"A Soul Douluo-level expert is chasing after the Soul Saint who just walked through the passageway," Lin Chen whispered.

Who says they look down on the resources of a Soul Saint? Great things are formed from small streams!

"Xiao Tu, we're just here to watch the fun, so please don't do anything foolish!" Lin Xiaolei whispered to Lin Chen.

"Don't worry, we're all in the same boat now. Would I joke about our lives?" Lin Chen assured him.

Not long after, the Soul Douluo returned, and he exuded a bloody aura, clearly having killed the Soul Saint and his entire group.

At the same time, another group of people entered the corridor.

Compared to the team led by the previous Soul Saint, this team was much larger, with dozens of people. The leader among them had a Soul Power of 87, clearly belonging to a certain family.

Those families couldn't have come to Shrek City just to attend an auction; they would definitely have purchased the supplies needed by their clans and transported them back. There were at least a dozen wagons transporting supplies right now.

Those powerful individuals lurking here, seeing a fat sheep arrive, were all eager to devour it all.

"It seems these people are going to suffer," Lin Xiaolei said.

Lin Chen nodded and said softly, "Yes, but we'll just keep an eye on it."

When they were halfway there, a loud shout rang out: "Hey kid, give me your stuff!"

Then, in the grove of trees next to Lin Chen, a huge figure landed, his body flashing with yellow, purple and black light, with as many as eight soul rings, and his level had reached 87.

With this level 87 strong Soul Douluo leading the way, the treasure hunters hiding here all bared their fangs, and one figure after another jumped down from the mountain, the highest of whom had reached level 88.

A great battle ensued.

The explosions of various soul skills echoed throughout the valley, and many boulders fell from the cliffs on both sides.

In large-scale battles like this, those who are robbed don't necessarily die, because the numerous looters are not allied. As long as they give up the treasure, their chances of escaping are quite high, since it's a free-for-all, not a brawl.

Clearly, this man was the kind who valued money over his life. He single-handedly confronted five Soul Douluos without any intention of retreating, unleashing one Soul Skill after another. His aura was as if a Title Douluo was facing five Soul Douluos.

But he was soon defeated and seriously injured.

One of the Contras said, "Why bother? If you want to leave, no one will stop you from abandoning these treasures."

The heavily injured Contra Douluo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, sneered, and said, "These things all belong to me. You want them? Then you can all die with me!"

After he finished speaking, a dazzling light burst forth from his body.

"Oh no, he's going to self-destruct!" another Soul Douluo shouted anxiously. He was one of the five who had attacked him earlier.

The light grew brighter and brighter...
