Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 88 Everyone's Holiday

Lin Chen left, leaving Peach Blossom Village.

It was already dusk.

Xiao Xiao Family

"Bang!" A giant cauldron smashed down the tree roots and stone pillars.

"Clap clap clap!" Applause rang out, and a man walked over and said, "Not bad, Xiao Xiao, your strength has improved again."

"Yes, Dad, what's good to eat tonight?" Xiao Xiao asked excitedly, putting away her martial spirit.

Xiao Xiao's father gave a helpless look and said, "Your mom made your favorite braised pork knuckle for you tonight!"

My precious daughter is perfect in every way, except that she loves to eat too much.

"Okay, okay, let's go see Mom now." With that, Xiao Xiao took her father's hand and walked towards the kitchen.

Lin Xiaolei's home in the same city

Lin Xiaolei was happily fiddling with a pair of beautiful flying soul tools in her room.

This flying soul tool unfolds into a pair of pure white wings, which any girl would love.

This was a gift from Zhou Mingxing, made by Zhou Mingxing himself, and its significance to Lin Xiaolei was obvious.

Every day, besides cultivating, eating, and sleeping, Lin Xiaolei spends all her time lovingly playing with the soul tool that Zhou Mingxing gave her, treating it like a precious treasure. She even refused to let her own mother try it out.

"Xiaolei, dinner's ready," Lin Xiaolei's mother called out.

"Okay, I'm here, Mom." Lin Xiaolei put away her flying soul tool and walked out of the room.

"You, you're always fiddling with that flying soul tool of yours, you won't even let your mother borrow it for a short while. Tell me, did some boy give it to you?" Lin Xiaolei's mother asked with a smile.

"No...no, I made this myself. I was just worried that the performance might not be good and affect you," Lin Xiaolei said, blushing slightly and feeling a little guilty.

"Oh? Really? When did my Leilei learn how to make soul tools?" Lin Xiaolei's mother asked with some skepticism.

"Alright, Leilei is all grown up now, we don't need to worry about her so much anymore," said Lin Xiaolei's father.

"That's right, Dad's right. He's the best to me." Lin Xiaolei said with a smile, linking her arm around her father's shoulder.

"You two, father and daughter, all you do is team up to annoy me," Lin Xiaolei's mother said irritably.

After the meal, Lin Xiaolei went back to her room to fiddle with her soul tool, leaving only her father and mother at the dining table.

Mr. Lin put his arm around Mrs. Lin and said, "Xiao Lei has grown up. It's time for her to experience some trials. At least let her know the dangers of the Soul Master world. We don't need to worry about her too much. I believe Xiao Lei will know what she's doing and will make her own judgment."

Lin Xiaolei and Xiao Xiao both come from families of Soul Masters, and have been in the Soul Master world for generations. Being born into such families, they are indeed destined to experience trials and tribulations.

"Hmph, look how much you've spoiled Xiaolei. Now you're finally able to be so heartless as to send her out for training?" Lin Xiaolei's mother said, leaning against Lin Xiaolei's father.

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do. The Lin family will eventually be handed over to her. Why don't we try our best to have another son and make a perfect family?" Lin Xiaolei's father said tentatively.

Lin Xiaolei's mother slapped Lin Xiaolei's father on the back in an annoyed tone, a blush rising on her elegant and beautiful face. She scolded, "We're an old married couple, aren't you ashamed?"

Zhou Mingxing's home in another city

Zhou's father and mother looked at Zhou Mingxing, who was sweating profusely on the training field in the distance, with worried expressions on their faces.

"Sigh, why does Xiaoxing have to make himself suffer so much? Every day, besides eating, he's cultivating, making, and experimenting with soul tools. He wouldn't suffer this much if he followed you in your business." Zhou's mother said with a sigh.

Since the start of the holiday, she has been heartbroken to see her precious son working so hard.

However, Zhou Mingxing's father held a different view, saying, "I support Xing'er's decision. Besides, becoming a powerful Soul Master is beneficial to both him and our business."

It must be said that Zhou Mingxing's father, who started from scratch as an ordinary person, has achieved such wealth today, and his vision is indeed very far-sighted.

"But seeing Xiaoxing suffering so much, it breaks my heart too." Zhou's mother's eyes instantly reddened.

She is the white moonlight of Zhou Mingxing's father, and also an ordinary person. She accompanied Zhou's father from having nothing to now being wealthy. She doesn't ask for anything else, only that her family be safe and sound. Zhou Mingxing is the apple of her eye. Seeing Zhou Mingxing suffer is like her heart being torn apart.

Mr. Zhou quickly embraced Mrs. Zhou and sighed softly, saying, "Have you forgotten how the clan elders opposed Xing'er going to Shrek Academy?"

"So what? At worst, the family will fall apart, and the three of us can live out the rest of our lives in peace." Tears welled up in Zhou's mother's eyes instantly.

"Alas, to be honest, I am ashamed to say that my soul power is already low. Now that I have grown to such a large size, it has threatened our safety. The other families have been eager to make their move because they see that we have few strong members. If we disperse our families, we will have even less to rely on and will be at the mercy of others." Father Zhou also looked worried.

"or?"

Mr. Zhou interrupted Mrs. Zhou, saying, "Even if something unexpected happens, I will protect you and our son even if it costs me my life. Even without these things, the spirit of the Zhou family remains. Last time, our son beat up Huang Chutian from the Huang family, and I think he did a great job!"

Zhou's mother quickly hugged Zhou's father tightly and said, "I don't want anything, I just want our family of three to be safe and sound."

Mr. Zhou quickly comforted her, saying, "Rong'er, it's alright, we'll be safe."

The premise is that Zhou Mingxing becomes powerful.

Despite the Zhou family's current immense wealth, which surpasses several major families in the city and even rivals the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, they actually have a fatal flaw: the lack of a powerful protector, making them a lamb to the slaughter.

Zhou Lin was just a minor Soul Master. He couldn't be called a lamb to the slaughter, but rather a fat sheep that was easy to take over. Who wouldn't want to seize the Zhou family's assets for themselves?

Despite the righteous words spoken by the guest elders invited by the Zhou family, when something actually happened, everyone would pass the buck. When Zhou Mingxing enrolled in school, the elders in the clan all recommended their own descendants, wanting to use the Zhou family's influence to study at Shrek Academy. Zhou's father and mother saw all of this.

Lin Chen walked through the desolate wilderness, using his Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) to leap between each tree.

There's a big mountain in front of us.

After taking a look at the map, Lin Chen confirmed that the Ling Mountain Range was just ahead.

Sensing a village ahead, Lin Chen quickly withdrew his soul power, jumped down from the tree, and walked like an ordinary person.
