Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 99 The Eve of the Start of School

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Yan Shaozhe suddenly realized what was going on.

Lin Chen possesses the ultimate attribute, so it's normal that this ordinary light attribute immortal herb is of little use to him.

Lin Chen reached out and handed over the immortal herb in his hand.

Yan Shaozhe didn't stand on ceremony and took it, after all, this immortal herb was very important to him.

But he felt bad about not giving Lin Chen anything, so he said, "I can't just take yours for nothing. Here, what do you want? I'll give you whatever I can."

Since Yan Shaozhe has said so, Lin Chen will not hold back.

"Hehe, Dean, could you teach me that secret technique in your inner courtyard that combines multiple soul skills into one, on a personal basis?" Lin Chen asked with a sly smile.

This means that you can learn secret techniques without being tied to Shrek's warship.

Yan Shaozhe was in a great mood and didn't think much of it. He readily agreed and said, "Okay, you can come to me to study every afternoon after class."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Chen said, "How about after dinner?"

"Okay, come find me after dinner."

The two reached a "deal" so happily that Lin Chen went back to his dormitory to cultivate.

Since the start of the semester, Lin Chen has been staying in his dormitory to cultivate and go to the Soul Arena to fight. During this time, he only went to Zhang Lexuan's house once to chat with Sister Lexuan and play with Tang Xiaoyan for a while.

His soul power also increased from level 74 to level 75, which is truly worthy of the cultivation speed after reaching the Soul Saint level with the ultimate martial soul.

Actually, it wasn't entirely due to the cultivation speed of the ultimate martial soul; the Angel Space also played a significant role. Otherwise, it would have taken at least a month to advance one level, but the Angel Space further compressed that time, allowing Lin Chen to achieve it in just over half a month.

The night before school started, in Lin Chen's dormitory.

"Oh yeah, it seems Huo Yuhao returned from studying abroad right after the start of the semester!" Lin Chen slapped his forehead, remembering this.

"However, during the holiday, Wang Dong said that the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python wouldn't let her go to see Huo Yuhao. I don't know what method she used to persuade those two soul beasts."

I wonder how Huo Yuhao will react when he sees Lin Chen, who is at the Soul Saint level.

"Lin Chen, come to my office."

Lin Chen heard Zhang Lexuan's voice.

Telepathic communication is a common means of communication used by powerful individuals at the Title Douluo level. Last time Lin Chen visited Zhang Lexuan's home, he told her that his spiritual power had reached the Title Douluo level.

So now Zhang Lexuan just uses telepathy to contact Lin Chen.

Lin Chen always carried the private token that Zhang Lexuan had given him, so it wasn't difficult for Zhang Lexuan to sense Lin Chen's telepathic messages to him.

"What does Sister Lexuan want with me?" Lin Chen asked, puzzled, after hearing Zhang Lexuan's telepathic message.

However, he didn't think too much about it and flew straight towards the teaching building on the Seven Kill Sword.

Since school hasn't started yet, it doesn't really matter.

Upon arriving at the office, Zhang Lexuan, Yan Shaozhe, and Cai Meier were standing together.

Oh, it's business.

"Dean, Vice Dean, what can I do for you?" Lin Chen asked.

"Lin Chen, we have received clear news from the Sun Moon Empire that the competition format will be changed this year. Participants can not only represent their academy, but also their sect," Cai Meier said first.

Zhang Lexuan picked up the conversation and said, "Well, the current generation of Shrek Seven Devils are all disciples of the Tang Sect. If they decide to represent the Tang Sect in the competition, then Shrek Academy's participating team will be selected separately, and you will definitely have to participate."

"That's right. After discussing it, we've decided to use this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament as your graduation assessment. The academy will evaluate your assessment results based on your performance in the tournament," Yan Shaozhe added.

Lin Chen nodded. He wasn't too surprised, because his soul power was the highest in the entire outer academy, so it was normal for him to be sent to participate in the competition.

"Actually, there's another reason we called you here," Cai Meier suddenly said.

Lin Chen was completely confused by what she said.

Cai Meier smiled slightly, looked towards the door, and said, "She should be here soon."

Then, the door was pushed open, and a figure with long, wavy blue hair appeared before everyone.

Without a doubt, the person with such an appearance at this stage was Wang Qiu'er.

At this time, Wang Dong had not yet reverted to being a woman!

Upon seeing Wang Qiu'er arrive, Cai Mei'er waved to her.

Wang Qiu'er obediently walked over as well.

"Dean, Vice Dean, what brings you here?" Wang Qiu'er asked, glancing at Lin Chen.

"Qiu'er..." Cai Meier repeated the information about the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament to Wang Qiu'er.

After listening, Wang Qiu'er nodded and said, "I understand. Is there anything else?"

Yan Shaozhe said, "I called you here in advance to ask you who wants to be the team leader. We need someone to be the team leader."

Wang Qiu'er and Lin Chen were taken aback and exchanged a glance.

Wang Qiu'er spoke first: "I want to be the captain!"

Clearly, Wang Qiu'er was not convinced by the last competition.

Lin Chen sighed helplessly. Wang Qiu'er and Wang Dong were practically identical, like they were cut from the same bone.

"Lin Chen, what's your opinion?" Zhang Lexuan asked.

"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier. Here's the deal, Lin Chen, you two have a fight, and whoever wins becomes the team leader."

Before Lin Chen could speak, Yan Shaozhe's voice rang out.

"Hey, hey, hey, I object! I didn't say that! Let her take it if she wants!" Lin Chen shouted immediately.

That old bastard Yan Shaozhe, he always tries to trick him at times like this.

"I think Dean Yan is right, Lin Chen, why don't you fight a match?" Zhang Lexuan chimed in.

"No, Sister Lexuan, why are you messing with me too?" Lin Chen thought indignantly.

However, he didn't show anything on the surface and could only nod in agreement.

Sister Lexuan has already said that she will definitely give her face.

"We'll gather all of you selected later, and the sparring will take place then. Alright, it's getting late, go back now!" Yan Shaozhe waved his hand, dismissing Lin Chen and Wang Qiu'er.

Lin Chen and Wang Qiu'er left the teaching building together.

"Lin Chen, what level are you now?" Wang Qiu'er asked on the way back.

The boys' and girls' dormitories diverge after walking a certain distance from the teaching building, so Lin Chen and Wang Qiu'er are still walking together.

Despite Wang Qiu'er's usual cold demeanor towards outsiders, Lin Chen had once defeated her, so she didn't dare to act too recklessly. Now, she and Lin Chen have a normal classmate relationship.
