Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 82 Breakthrough

Lin Chen nodded and continued, "The soul core condensed by the Yin-Yang Complementary Method has a much greater destructive power than the one condensed by the Same Frequency Resonance Method. Therefore, I plan to condense a second soul core using the Yin-Yang Complementary Method when I break through to the Title Douluo level. In this way, no one below the Limit Douluo level can kill me."

Listening to Lin Chen's wildly imaginative plan and seeing his radiant appearance, Zhang Lexuan felt that Lin Chen was not lying.

"Have you thought it through?" Zhang Lexuan asked.

"Yes, I will definitely make full preparations before taking any action," Lin Chen assured him, not wanting Zhang Lexuan to worry about him.

As for Tang Xiaoyan, she had already fallen asleep while Lin Chen and Zhang Lexuan were talking.

Looking at the time, it was getting late. Lin Chen put the tea Zhang Lexuan had given him into his storage bag, said goodbye to Zhang Lexuan, and went back to his dormitory.

I can't possibly sleep at Sister Lexuan's house, she's not my boyfriend or anything.

Back in his dorm, Lin Chen took out the soul-shielding device he had bought in advance, installed it in the four corners of the room, and then activated the device.

The existence of Angel Space is too shocking; if possible, it's best not to let others know about it.

After confirming everything was correct, Lin Chen said to Qian Renxue, "Sister Renxue, please let me enter the Angel Space!"

With a thought, Qian Renxue created a golden door that appeared before Lin Chen.

Lin Chen went inside and began his cultivation for the evening.

Another night passed, and Lin Chen felt that his soul power had improved slightly.

Listening to the birds chirping in the branches outside the window, Lin Chen washed up and went to class in Class 1 of Grade 5 as usual.

The lecturer for this morning's theory class was Zhou Yi. During the class, Zhou Yi didn't target Lin Chen much, but Lin Chen's expression was clearly somewhat unnatural, mixed with a hint of anger.

Lin Chen could not escape the perception of these subtle expressions and emotions.

After class, Yan Shaozhe found Lin Chen again in the cafeteria.

"Dean, what do you want to see me about again?" Lin Chen asked helplessly, standing in Yan Shaozhe's office.

"Here's the thing, Lin Chen. I checked your previous cultivation speed and found that your cultivation speed as a Soul King was much slower than that of an ordinary Soul Master. I'm worried that something went wrong when you absorbed the Soul Ring at a higher level," Yan Shaozhe said earnestly.

Hearing this, Lin Chen sighed silently. He didn't intend to hide it and stretched out his left hand, whereupon an extreme element of light appeared.

Upon seeing this, Yan Shaozhe's eyes widened, and he felt as if the light element of his martial soul had been stripped away.

As a titled Douluo, he naturally knew what this phenomenon was, and right now, he became extremely excited.

"Excellent! Excellent! It's actually an ultimate elemental martial soul! Excellent!"

Before Lin Chen could react, Yan Shaozhe grabbed Lin Chen's shoulder and asked, "Lin Chen, would you like to become a core disciple of the inner academy? If you are willing, I assure you that the academy will do its best to equip you with a high-quality soul bone, and at least give you a 100,000-year soul ring! Moreover, I will take you as my disciple and personally teach you."

Hearing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but be a little surprised. This old guy actually offered the same conditions as when he competed with the Martial Soul Department for Huo Gua.

However, Lin Chen resisted the "temptation" and said seriously, "Dean, I have no intention of joining the Inner Academy. Joining the Inner Academy will more or less create connections with the Sea God Pavilion. I do not want to join any force. After graduating from the sixth grade, I will also travel around the continent to broaden my horizons."

Seeing Lin Chen's resolute attitude, Yan Shaozhe didn't say anything more. He just sighed and said, "Alright, you can go back now. If you need anything in your cultivation, feel free to come find me."

Lin Chen was surprised again. He had already said so much, yet Yan Shaozhe still said that. This meant that he was helping Lin Chen in a personal capacity, rather than using the academy's resources.

He silently remembered the kindness Yan Shaozhe had shown him.

Lin Chen took out the token that Mu En had given him earlier and placed it on Yan Shaozhe's table, saying, "This is the token that Elder Mu gave me earlier. You should know its purpose. Now I'm returning it to the academy. I promised Elder Mu that I would never do anything to oppose the academy, and I will definitely keep my promise."

"By the way, Dean, there's something else I wanted to ask."

Yan Shaozhe asked, "What is it?"

"Could you tell me what it felt like when you were condensing your soul core?"

Yan Shaozhe didn't think much of it, assuming that Lin Chen wanted to learn from him to pave the way for the future. So he explained in detail his process and feelings in condensing his first soul core.

Lin Chen listened attentively from the side.

Yan Shaozhe spoke for a full hour before he finished.

Yan Shaozhe would never have imagined that the person in front of him would want to condense his first soul core when he was already at the seventh ring. It was something that no one could have imagined even if they racked their brains.

"Dean, there's one more thing I need your help with."

"You little rascal, you've gained so much experience from getting freebies from me, what's up with that?"

Lin Chen strode towards the door and said loudly, "After traveling the continent, I might find myself a job to make a living. Just leave me a regular teaching position in the foreign language department! Maybe we'll be colleagues in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but laugh.

"Get lost, you brat!"

After that, although Yan Shaozhe approached Lin Chen once or twice, he never mentioned entering the inner courtyard again.

Eight months have passed in the blink of an eye, and it's time for everyone to start summer vacation.

During these eight months, Lin Chen's life consisted of nothing but attending classes, eating, and cultivating. He rarely slept, and basically replaced sleep with cultivation.

With the help of the Angel Space, Lin Chen's soul power successfully advanced to level 69. Later, during a tea tasting and tea discussion with Teacher Wang Yan, his mental state broke through, and his soul power also broke through to level 70. He has now become a quasi-Soul Saint.

At this moment, outside Shrek Academy's gate

"Leilei, are you really not coming home with me?" Xiao Xiao asked, pouting.

Lin Xiaolei affectionately patted Xiao Xiao's head and said, "Okay, I'm going to find a celebrity. I'll be back soon."

Xiao Xiao: "You've changed. Sure enough, being in a relationship makes all the difference. Now you don't even say a word to comfort me."

Lin Xiaolei quickly comforted Xiao Xiao.

"Be careful, and send me a message when you have time," Lin Chen said.

"Yes, you two should also be careful," Lin Xiaolei said to Lin Chen and Xiao Xiao.

"Xiao Tu, what are your plans?" Xiao Xiao asked.

"I will go to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain my seventh soul ring."

Lin Chen had already made a choice for this seventh spirit ring: the spirit of Ye Xinglan, the wife of Xu Lizhi, one of the Shrek Seven Devils of Shrek Academy in the era of Dragon King Legend, and the ferocious beast in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire: the Black Jade Divine Bamboo!
