Chapter 46

Watching Zhang Lexuan's receding figure, Lin Chen mused, "It seems Sister Lexuan had a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring as her ninth ring in the original story. Although the Narcissus Jade Bone let Sister Lexuan break through Rank 90 early, a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring should be guaranteed."

With that thought, Lin Chen felt much more at ease and headed toward the Dormitory.

"If you want to raise your cultivation quickly, you can cultivate at the place where you first met me. The Angel Space created by the previous Angel God is still there. It should increase your cultivation speed," Qian Renxue said.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lin Chen immediately became restless upon hearing that.

"What good would telling you have done? Could you just stop going to school? If you disappeared for days without reason, that girl would beat you up sooner or later." Qian Renxue rolled her eyes.

Lin Chen had no reply, because Qian Renxue was telling the truth. Sister Lexuan would never allow him to vanish for days without reason.

"Then why didn't you tell me before?" Lin Chen still refused to give up.

Qian Renxue said flatly, "Those below Rank 50 cannot enter."

Lin Chen: ...

He raced at top speed to the place where he had first met Qian Renxue.

With a wave of Qian Renxue's hand, a golden energy door appeared on the stone wall, and Lin Chen slowly walked inside.

When he appeared again, Lin Chen was standing on an enormous circular platform. Six angel statues surrounded the entire platform, radiating an imposing and sacred aura.

Lin Chen began cultivating within this space.

Two months later, Lin Chen's Soul Power had reached the bottleneck of Rank 60, and he was currently attempting to break through.

To break through Rank 60, Lin Chen needed to gain an initial understanding of his own Sword Intent. Over and over, he questioned himself: what exactly was his Sword Intent?

At the same time, he continuously recalled why he had first embarked on the path of cultivation.

He cultivated for revenge; to avoid being manipulated and reduced to a pawn of fate; to roam the world freely and live life to the fullest.

All sorts of thoughts surfaced in Lin Chen's mind. In an instant, a vast and majestic Sword Intent burst forth from his body, merging with the killing aura of the Seven Kill Sword. Lin Chen's killing aura and his Sword Intent fully fused, forming an immense, boundless killing aura. The Seven Kill Domain erupted uncontrollably and merged with that killing aura. Countless Sword Qi brimming with murderous intent instantly appeared within the domain. The bottleneck at Rank 60 was shattered in one stroke.

Wherever the mind reached, the sword would be there! Using the Sword Intent he had sensed, Lin Chen broke through the Rank 60 bottleneck. All he needed next was to obtain a Soul Ring, and he would become a true Soul Emperor.

Feeling the Soul Power fluctuations brought by the breakthrough, Qian Renxue also let out a long breath. After all, while cultivating through enlightenment, one wrong move could lead directly to deviation.

Lin Chen sat up and stretched his bones. After a series of crackling sounds, he said with a relaxed expression, "Let's go. It's time to return to the academy."

"Aren't you going to obtain a Soul Ring?" Qian Renxue asked.

"Later. If I stay missing this long, Sister Lexuan will get angry again," Lin Chen answered.

"You really do care about that girl. Fine, do as you please." With that, Qian Renxue turned into a streak of golden light and flew directly into Lin Chen's Sea of Consciousness. At the same time, a golden door appeared before him.

"Sister Renxue, can I come here to cultivate again in the future?" Lin Chen asked. He would not give up such an excellent cultivation ground.

Qian Renxue nodded.

Lin Chen walked out and looked at the familiar cave. Without hesitation, he stepped onto the Seven Kill Sword and flew straight toward Shrek Academy.

The timing was perfect. Lin Chen returned to the academy on the night before the opening ceremony, so he was not considered late.

"I wonder how Sister Lexuan is doing?" Lin Chen muttered to himself.

The next day, after the opening ceremony ended, Yan Shaozhe announced loudly, "The advancement assessments for each grade will begin shortly. Your homeroom teachers will take you to the assessment grounds. The academy will determine the content of the assessment based on your respective Soul Power Levels."

Looking at Yan Shaozhe on the stage, Lin Chen knew that Zhang Lexuan had successfully obtained her ninth Soul Ring and advanced to Title Douluo.

Led by Wang Yan, Class One, Grade Five arrived at the Colosseum.

As Fifth Grade students of Shrek Academy's Outer Court, their cultivation was no longer like that of second- and third-year students, who were either Soul Grandmasters or low-level Soul Ancestors. In the current Class One, Grade Five, only Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and Lin Chen had broken through to Soul Kings. Lin Xiaolei was at the peak of Soul Ancestor, just one step away from becoming a Soul King.

Lin Chen was the first to take the field. On the surface, he possessed the highest Soul Power in Class One, Grade Five.

"Lin Chen, Rank 56 assault-type weapon Soul King, versus a Ten-Thousand-Year Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear," the referee teacher announced.

Lin Chen stepped onto the field and released his Martial Soul. At the same time, five Soul Rings—yellow, purple, purple, purple, and black—circled around him.

The beast cage opened, and the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear with its crimson eyes charged out, rushing straight at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen showed no fear. Gripping the Seven Kill Sword, he clashed head-on with the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear.

As one of the stronger bear-type Soul Beasts, the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear possessed formidable attack and defense. But before the Seven Kill Sword, it was clearly outmatched.

Holding the Seven Kill Sword, Lin Chen directly met the bear's incoming paw, leaving a huge wound on it that cut deep enough to expose bone.

The Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear was clearly enraged. It immediately activated its innate skill, Bloodlust! For a short time, it enhanced all of its attributes, including its physical prowess, preparing to engage Lin Chen in close combat.

Lin Chen slashed the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear with his sword, but only left a bloodstain half as large as before. Then he saw the massive bear paw coming down at him.

Lin Chen used Lingbo Weibu, constantly moving along the edge of the Soul Fighting Platform, hoping to stall until the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear's Bloodlust enhancement ended.

But the Ten-Thousand-Year Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear was no pushover. It immediately slammed both paws forcefully onto the Soul Fighting Platform and unleashed another innate skill: Seismic Wave!

A terrifying blast of air swept toward Lin Chen. Unhurried, he activated the Sword Shield for defense. Ever since comprehending Sword Intent, both his Sword Qi and Sword Shield had become even stronger. Blocking the skill of a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was no problem.
