Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 97 Fleeing in Disarray

The voice was very pleasant to hear, but it carried immense pressure, locking onto Lin Chen. If he hadn't possessed a soul core, he would probably have been rendered immobile in an instant.

Lin Chen disregarded his own belongings, grabbed Ma Xiaotao in his arms, and sped away into the distance on the Seven Kill Sword.

"Ah!" Ma Xiaotao was startled by Lin Chen's sudden action and exclaimed.

"I can fly," Ma Xiaotao whispered in Lin Chen's arms, not daring to resist.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen released Ma Xiaotao and said, "Then fly by yourself."

Just then, a slender figure suddenly appeared in front of Lin Chen and Ma Xiaotao, forcing the two to stop.

"Xiao Tao, come back with me," Feng Ling said softly.

Lin Chen didn't say anything. He really hoped that Ma Xiaotao would go with Feng Ling, wherever she wanted to die, as long as she didn't cause him any trouble.

Having read the original work, Lin Chen immediately recognized the person in front of him by her appearance.

It was when she slept with Yan Shaozhe that her evil energy flared up, attempting to devour him, ultimately leading her to become an evil soul master.

Ma Xiaotao shook her head, her eyes resolute, and said, "I don't want to go with you, I want to go back to the academy!"

"Sigh, why are you doing this? What Yan Shaozhe can give you, I can give you too. Your martial soul is an anomaly in the eyes of Shrek Academy, but it is the hope of the future in our Holy Church," Feng Ling sighed and said.

"I don't want to be an evil spirit master! I won't go with you!" Ma Xiaotao cried out.

"In that case, don't blame me, Momo."

Feng Ling sighed again, then instantly appeared in front of Lin Chen and struck out with her palm. The latter hurriedly took out the Seven Kill Sword to defend himself.

"Bang!"

Lin Chen was struck down by a palm, his body flying backward and crashing heavily into the woods below.

"Lin Chen!" Ma Xiaotao exclaimed, about to bend down and rush to find Lin Chen, when Feng Ling flashed and appeared behind Ma Xiaotao again.

Ma Xiaotao's current physical condition is special; she cannot use her soul power, otherwise she will be immediately devoured by the evil fire.

It's not that she can't use her soul power at all. If you calculate it precisely, Ma Xiaotao can only use less than 10% of her soul power now, which is practically the same as not having any.

Feng Ling struck out with her palm, aiming directly at Ma Xiaotao's neck.

Just as the hand was about to strike her neck, a sharp sword aura shot out from below, aimed directly at Feng Ling's hand.

Upon seeing this, Feng Ling quickly withdrew her hand that had been slapping out.

Lin Chen had stood up at some point, holding the Seven Kill Sword in his hand, with seven soul rings—yellow, purple, purple, red, black, and red—pulsating around him.

Upon seeing this, Feng Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, and a look of surprise flashed across her face, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Three 100,000-year soul rings, it seems Yan Shaozhe has gotten a good deal all these years," Feng Ling said with a laugh.

"I wouldn't say I got a bargain," Lin Chen replied calmly.

"So it seems you don't plan to join Shrek Academy in the future?" Feng Ling asked.

"Do I need to answer your question?" Lin Chen said coldly.

Feng Ling wasn't annoyed. Based on her years of experience as a seasoned veteran, she knew that such answers usually indicated affirmation.

He immediately said, "If you join my Holy Church, we will do our best to nurture you. Perhaps you can even reach the position of Chief Elder."

The chief retainer, who is also one of the only two remaining level 99 Limit Douluo in the world, is Long Xiaoyao!

This shows how highly Feng Ling regards Lin Chen.

"What can you do if I don't join your holy religion?!"

As he said this, Lin Chen attacked Feng Ling.

Feng Ling smiled, and just as Lin Chen felt that his Seven Kill Sword had pierced her, her figure vanished instantly and reappeared in another direction.

"Afterimage?! Isn't she a power attacker? How come she's so fast?!" Lin Chen thought to himself that something was wrong.

He immediately stopped holding back, his blood-red soul ring lit up, and he activated the Seven Killings True Body.

One after another, sharp sword energies slashed towards Feng Ling. Feng Ling gently raised her right hand and snapped her fingers. Instantly, countless black feathers appeared behind Feng Ling and collided with Lin Chen's sword energy.

Lin Chen struck out with his palm, his powerful soul force sending Ma Xiaotao flying several miles away.

"Find a place to hide first."

This was the last sound Ma Xiaotao heard, followed by the sight of blue and black colliding.

Before pushing Ma Xiaotao away, Lin Chen also attached a wisp of his spiritual power to her, so there was no need to worry about not being able to find her.

Feeling the sharp sword energy, Feng Ling frowned and muttered to herself, "Could this be the Seven Kill Sword, the martial soul of that Sword Douluo from ten thousand years ago? I heard recently that a student from Shrek Academy with the Seven Kill Sword martial soul appeared in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament. It seems to be him."

"All swords return to their origin!"

The Seven Kill Swords instantly covered the moonlight, and under Lin Chen's control, they all flew towards Feng Ling.

As her soul power surged, Feng Ling unfurled her jet-black wings. With a sudden flap, a massive tornado formed, engulfing Lin Chen's Seven Kill Sword completely. The Seven Kill Sword, once caught in the tornado, was shattered by the powerful wind pressure.

By repeating the same operation several times, Feng Ling broke Lin Chen's sixth soul skill.

"Sister Renxue, if you use your abilities, how long will it take to get back to the academy?" Lin Chen called out within his spiritual sea.

"About a few minutes."

Ten thousand years ago, when Qian Renxue was still the Angel Goddess, traveling a thousand miles was just a matter of a moment for her. Tang San ran for three days, but Qian Renxue caught up with him in the blink of an eye.

"Okay, I'll slip away later, you help me," Lin Chen said.

"Um."

The difference between a Titled Douluo and a Super Douluo is not small. Just considering the transformation between different states of soul power, a Super Douluo is many levels stronger than a Titled Douluo. Otherwise, why would they subdivide Titled Douluos into Titled Douluos and Super Douluos? Wouldn't it be better to just call them all Super Douluos?

Currently, without using Qian Renxue's power, Lin Chen's strength is at most at the level of a level 93 Title Douluo, which is still far behind Feng Ling, who has long since become a Super Douluo.

The four spirit rings on Lin Chen's body appeared, and then they all exploded, injecting pure energy into the Seven Kill Sword.

A terrifying sword aura slashed towards Feng Ling. Even Feng Ling felt a dangerous aura within this sword aura and had to take it seriously.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Evil Phoenix True Form!"

While Feng Ling was blocking the sword energy, Lin Chen ran away to find Ma Xiaotao.

Fortunately, Ma Xiaotao hadn't gone far; she was hiding in a grove of trees not far away. Otherwise, it would have taken a lot of effort to find her. If that were the case, Lin Chen couldn't guarantee he would be able to find her.

"Hurry up!"
