Douluo: Steadily Becoming Stronger in Shrek

Chapter 11: First Encounter with Zhang Lexuan

Zhang Lexuan's approach made the entire Soul Hunting Team wary, but more often than not, they looked at them with admiration.

After all, Zhang Lexuan's appearance is unmatched in the world.

The captain also stepped forward at this time and asked in a gentler tone: "Girl, are you coming towards us? Is there something wrong?"

The captain is a level 44 Soul Sect cultivator, but in Zhang Lexuan's eyes, he is no different from an ant.

But Miss Zhang was not an unreasonable person. She said, "Brother, can I have a few words with that young man?"

"Of course. But we have to wait until he wakes up."

Zhang Lexuan nodded and slowly walked to Lin Chen who was absorbing the soul ring steadily.

When her eyes fell on the sword, she felt its incomparable sharpness, and then she thought of something and murmured, "Is the Seven Killing Swords... going to reappear on the continent?"

Obviously, Zhang Lexuan recognized Lin Chen's martial soul at that time.

An hour later, Lin Chen had absorbed all the spirit rings. When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhang Lexuan across from him.

Lin Chen couldn’t take his eyes away suddenly. In his previous life… ahem, I’ve gone off topic.

The captain came over, touched Lin Chen's shoulder, and said, "Xiao Lin, this girl is here to see you."

Lin Chen nodded and said to Zhang Lexuan, "I wonder what you want to talk to me about?"

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhang Lexuan."

Zhang Lexuan! Hearing this name, Lin Chen's brain suddenly shook. This is really a big deal.

"I'm Lin Chen. What can I do for Miss Zhang?"

"Brother Lin Chen, I wonder which soul master academy you will go to in the future?" Zhang Lexuan asked straight to the point.

"I want to go to Shrek Academy, and now I'm collecting money to buy a letter of recommendation from the city lord." Lin Chen answered truthfully.

He also had some hidden intentions, after all, Zhang Lexuan could really help him at the moment.

Hearing what Lin Chen said, a hint of disgust flashed across Zhang Lexuan's eyes, and she asked again, "Do your parents know?"

Hearing this, Lin Chen lowered his head instantly and said, "My parents are no longer alive. My purpose in joining Shrek is to become stronger and then take revenge!"

Hearing this, Zhang Lexuan looked at Lin Chen with some empathy, as if she saw herself back then, and said with some self-blame, "I'm sorry." Then she handed over an envelope, "This is the recommendation letter for admission to Shrek Academy. I'm an inner courtyard disciple."

"Thank you, Sister Lexuan."

……

"Xiao Tu!" Just as Lin Chen was thinking, a voice interrupted his thoughts.

Lin Xiaolei was seen running quickly towards Lin Chen, her eyes revealing anxiety, followed by Zhou Mingxing who was also jogging.

"What's wrong? You look so anxious." Lin Chen asked puzzledly.

"Xiao, Xiaotu...something's wrong..." Lin Xiaolei said breathlessly, and it was obvious that she had consumed a lot of energy before.

Zhou Mingxing took out a bottle of water, handed it to Lin Xiaolei, and said, "Let me tell you. Xiao Xiao's martial spirit was damaged in today's game, and he is now unconscious in the infirmary."

Lin Chen was immediately startled, 'How come I forgot about Xie Huanyue?'

Then he said, "Let's go and see Xiao Xiao."

When Lin Chen and the other two rushed to the infirmary, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were standing in front of Xiao Xiao's bed, looking guilty.

"Are you okay?"

The person Lin Chen was asking about was naturally Xiao Xiao.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoxiao was just trying to buy me some time..." Wang Dong said with tears in his eyes.

"Okay, you guys should go back and recover your soul power. There is a game in the afternoon. We will watch here." Lin Chen waved his hand impatiently.

Isn't it embarrassing for a woman to cry while dressed as a man?
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong left, and Lin Xiaolei sat beside Xiaoxiao's bed with a worried look on her face. "Okay, Xiaolei, Xiaoxiao will be fine." Lin Chen comforted her.

After all, having read the original novel, Lin Chen knew that Xiao Xiao would be fine.

Lin Xiaolei's expression eased a little.

Zhou Mingxing took out a pill from his storage soul guide, handed it to Lin Xiaolei, and said, "This is a healing pill made by the elders of my family. It can speed up the recovery of injuries. Give it to Xiaoxiao."

Lin Xiaolei carefully put the pill into Xiaoxiao's mouth.

Because of Xiao Xiao's coma, Huo Gua and Wang Dong were like chicken blood and fought their way into the semi-finals. What was different from the original was that Lin Chen's team replaced Cao Jinxuan's team and entered the semi-finals. The other two teams were Huang Chutian's team and Dai Huabin's team.

Thanks to the help of Zhou Mingxing's elixir, Xiao Xiao returned ahead of schedule in the semi-finals.

"Xiao Tu, who do you think we will draw in the lottery tomorrow?" In the cafeteria, Xiao Xiao, who had recovered, asked Lin Chen.

"Our team." Lin Chen said without hesitation.

"Why?" Huo Yuhao asked from the side.

The three members of Lin Chen's team were having lunch in the cafeteria and happened to meet Huo Gua and his two companions. Under Xiao Xiao's leadership, the two teams sat together.

"It's simple. The academy won't allow two Class 1 teams to win the championship and runner-up at the same time."

"Why?" Wang Dong was even more confused. He felt that it was something that made Teacher Zhou very proud that Class 1 won the first and second place at the same time.

"The academy can't just consider one class. If our class wins the first and second place at the same time, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among other teachers and students. This is Shrek Academy, and it is also a small society. Otherwise, why would the academy establish an outer courtyard at the request of the three empires? You must know that only the inner courtyard disciples are the real disciples of Shrek." Lin Chen explained.

"Huh? It's so complicated." Xiao Xiao said while grabbing her twin ponytails. Her CPU was overwhelmed.

Lin Chen tapped Xiao Xiao's little head and said, "Alright, hurry up and eat. I won't show mercy tomorrow."

"We won't show mercy either." Wang Dong said first. No matter what time, Wang Dong is always the competitive Wang Dong.

The next day, on the fighting spirit stage.

“No way.” Zhou Mingxing, Lin Xiaolei, Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong looked at the sign numbers of the two teams in shock.

Lin Chen was damn right about this.

"Game start!"

Wang Dong spread his wings without hesitation and rushed towards Lin Chen. As both were strong attack type and both had the second millennium spirit ring configuration, the competitive Wang Dong naturally wanted to compete with Lin Chen.

The latter also summoned the Seven Killing Swords to meet him. Lin Chen's soul power was at the peak of level 25, two levels higher than Wang Dong's, and the quality of his martial soul was comparable, so he was naturally able to deal with it easily.

Unless Wang Dong uses the Clear Sky Hammer.

"Mingxing, let's deal with Huo Yuhao first." Lin Xiaolei said to Zhou Mingxing. This was Lin Chen's reminder to the two: deal with Huo Yuhao first, because his spiritual detection sharing is very troublesome!
Zhou Mingxing nodded, took out a second-level soul-guiding knife, and rushed towards Huo Yuhao with Lin Xiaolei.

"Watch me, my first soul skill, the shock of the cauldron." Xiao Xiao controlled the San Sheng Soul-Suppressing Cauldron and smashed it towards the two of them.

Even though this little Lolita acts like a little bird to Lin Xiaolei in private, she shows no emotion at all when fighting.

"Wanzi Wanzi, my little mango meatball." Zhou Mingxing gave Lin Xiaolei a soul power boost.

"Second soul skill, the sound of the piano lingering in the air." Lin Xiaolei used her second soul skill to try to break through.

But the San Sheng Soul-Suppressing Cauldron is a top-level weapon spirit after all. Even with Zhou Mingxing's assistance, it only makes it difficult for Xiao Xiao to resist, but he cannot break through.

"I'll go too." Zhou Mingxing whispered, and took the soul-guiding knife and slashed at Xiao Xiao's San Sheng Soul-Suppressing Cauldron.

"The first soul skill, mental detection sharing."

With Huo Yuhao's assistance, Xiao Xiao could always find the point with the least force to resist Zhou Mingxing's attack. It can be said that he held back two enemies with his own strength.

Seeing that his companions were trapped, Lin Chen changed direction and ran towards Huo Yuhao.

"First, pass this level of mine. Then, the second soul skill, the Light of the Butterfly God!"
