Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation

She was half a head taller than Tang San, and wore a pink outfit that tightly hugged her shapely figure.

The woman had delicate features and fair skin. Her large, watery eyes paired with her rosy cheeks gave off a charming and adorable feeling!

The man confronting Tang San was about 1.8 meters tall and appeared to be young. He had broad shoulders and handsome features with a hint of fortitude. His long golden hair cascaded down his back, almost reaching his waist.

What drew the most attention were his eyes—an eerie pair, each eye possessing double pupils. Within the deep blue irises, a cold light flickered with a hint of sinister energy.

Beside the golden-haired man stood a pair of twins, appearing to be around seventeen or eighteen years old. They were tall and beautiful, seemingly flirtatious and not like proper ladies.

Unexpectedly, the two sides were arguing over a room at the Rose Hotel.

A battle was on the verge of breaking out. A White Tiger phantom emerged behind the golden-haired man, exuding extraordinary and overbearing power.

Lin Chen turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing beside him, only to see her delicate body trembling uncontrollably, her fists clenched tightly.

Her icy face had turned pale, and her teeth were biting her lower lip so hard that it seemed she might break it at any moment.

As if sensing Lin Chen's gaze, Zhu Zhuqing turned to him and said, "I don't want to go out anymore. Let's go back to our room, okay?"

Zhu Zhuqing's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were red-rimmed.

Lin Chen nodded, ignoring the battle below. The two returned to their room.

"Bang..."

As the door of the guest room closed, Zhu Zhuqing's delicate body relaxed slightly. Dragging her heavy limbs, she walked to the sofa and slumped down, a trace of confusion flickering in her red-rimmed eyes.

Lin Chen poured a glass of water and placed it on the coffee table in front of Zhu Zhuqing, then sat down opposite her.

"Cry if you want to. You'll feel better if you cry it out!" Lin Chen said calmly, looking at Zhu Zhuqing.

His words acted like a switch. As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Zhuqing could no longer restrain herself and began to sob softly on the sofa.

After about half an incense stick's time, the crying gradually subsided. Zhu Zhuqing slowly sat up and wiped away the tears from her face.

"I've embarrassed myself!" Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Lin Chen and said softly.

Lin Chen's lips curled slightly upward, his face indifferent.

"It's not worth being upset over someone like that. To be honest, I've heard of Dai Mubai's name for a long time. He abandoned his fiancée and fled to the Heaven Dou Empire, yet he doesn't strive for progress and indulges in pleasure all day long!" Lin Chen said slowly and gently.

Zhu Zhuqing looked up at Lin Chen, her delicate body trembling, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Moreover..." Lin Chen paused and continued, "Shrek Academy is not a formal academy. It has been established for 20 years and has not yet been registered. The academy is short of funds and the environment is extremely poor. There are no simulated training grounds. Including the dean, Shrek Academy has only two Soul Sage-level teachers! There are also three Soul Emperor-level teachers."

"Logically speaking, the academy's teaching staff is not bad, and Shrek Academy's admission standards are very high. Soul power needs to reach level 20 at age 12, and level 40 before age 20 to graduate! It can be said that Shrek Academy recruits students according to genius standards."

"But the reality is laughable. As far as I know, Shrek Academy has admitted more than sixty students in the past 20 years, but only a few dozen have actually graduated. Among those who didn't graduate, some didn't cultivate to level 40 before the age of 20, and I think you should be able to guess the other part!"

Zhu Zhuqing smiled coldly. The answer was obvious and easy to guess.

"Since you knew all this, why didn't you tell me before?" Zhu Zhuqing asked, puzzled.

Lin Chen smiled slightly and said, "Some things are better seen than heard. If I told you that Dai Mubai spends all day indulging in brothels, would you believe me? I'm afraid not only would you not believe me, but you would even suspect that I have ulterior motives and am trying to provoke your relationship with Dai Mubai!"

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, "I... no..." She hesitated, originally wanting to say she wouldn't, but quickly negated her statement.

Lin Chen's lips curled upward and said, "See? Even you yourself don't think you would believe me. In that case, it's better for you to discover it yourself!"

"I understand. Thank you!" Zhu Zhuqing said softly.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "You're welcome. I suggest you consider it carefully. If Shrek Academy was just a bit lacking in the teaching environment, I wouldn't say much, but they give me the feeling of being fraudulent!"

"Fraudulent? What do you mean?" Zhu Zhuqing asked, puzzled.

Lin Chen smiled slightly and said, "Someone inside Shrek Academy claims that among the graduates of Shrek Academy, the most outstanding one has become an elder of the Spirit Hall. As far as I know, Spirit Hall elders need Title Douluo cultivation to be appointed. The academy has been open for 20 years, and students enter at age 12, which means..."

"They cultivated to Title Douluo at the age of 32!" Zhu Zhuqing interrupted Lin Chen, saying in shock.

The newest and fastest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "That's right. They don't even bother to draft their lies. It's ridiculous! It's okay to advertise and create gimmicks, but at least be reliable, right? They can only deceive those ignorant people!"

Zhu Zhuqing sneered. Her mood was clearly much better.

"I've said everything I need to say. What are you thinking?" Lin Chen asked.

Lin Chen was completely embracing the idea of breaking up as many couples as possible. Killing Tang San directly would be too easy for him!

Zhu Zhuqing pondered for a moment and said, "I still want to go and see. Just like you said, seeing is believing. Only then can I completely give up!"

Lin Chen nodded, not trying to persuade her further. He had said everything he needed to say, and Zhu Zhuqing was not a fool.

Zhu Zhuqing sighed and said, "I know you're doing it for my own good, but you also know my situation. I don't know where else I can go!"

Lin Chen smiled slightly and said, "I still need a bed-warming maid by my side! How about it? Are you interested?"

"Go to hell!" Zhu Zhuqing glared at Lin Chen, a hint of red appearing on her fair face.

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I'm serious, you can consider it!"

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's gaze turn fierce, Lin Chen stopped smiling and said seriously, "Actually, you can completely find a remote place to live in seclusion! The Douluo Continent is so big, as long as you want to, you can definitely break free from the shackles of your family!"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded lightly, lost in thought. After a long time, she finally said, "Perhaps I really can. In any case, I'll still go to Shrek Academy to take a look first! By the way, what about you? What are your plans for the future?"
