Shrek Suffers Defeat

Chapter 45 Shrek Suffers Defeat

Seeing Long Chen awaken from absorbing the soul ring, Ye Lingling was a little excited.

"Brother Chen, you finally finished absorbing that forty-thousand-year soul ring."

"Yes, I did it."

Long Chen stood up, feeling the surging soul power within his body, his eyes flashing with even more confidence and depth.

He could clearly feel that his body was stronger, his soul power was more profound, and his overall strength had advanced further.

The Ye Tianming Couple walked over, looking at Long Chen with gratified eyes.

"Xiao Chen, you've once again accomplished something that ordinary people cannot, truly amazing."

"Yes. The fifth soul ring reaching a forty-thousand-year lifespan is unbelievable, but it happened to you."

Ye Lingling asked curiously:

"Brother Chen, does your fifth soul skill also summon a strange beast through the Demon Qin Sound?"

"Yes, it's similar to the previous ones."

"Then what kind of strange beast did you summon this time?"

"It's a bit strange, it's also an ox, but it's completely different from that One-Horned Rhinoceros."

Ye Lingling was even more confused and pressed:

"Then what kind of ox is it?"

Long Chen smiled slightly:

"It's called Kui Ox. I'll show you."

After Long Chen finished speaking, he released the Dark Night Demonic Lute Martial Soul again.

As the fifth soul ring lit up and the lute strings were strummed, a massive Kui Ox phantom appeared out of thin air.

Unlike the previous phantom images, the Kui Ox phantom was azure all over, flashing with light like the sun and moon.

In an instant, the entire space was illuminated by that light.

Its appearance was strange, its body and head looked like an ox, but it had no horns, and only one leg.

The sound that came from its mouth was like thunder, deafening.

Long Chen looked at the shocking Kui Ox phantom before him and slowly explained:

"This Kui Niu, also known as the Thunder Beast, not only possesses the ability to release lightning but can also control storms."

After hearing Long Chen's words, Ye Tianming, Ye Susu, and Ye Lingling exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock.

Ye Tianming exclaimed:

"Controlling lightning and storms! This ability is too astonishing. When facing Fire Attribute Soul Masters, storm control can give you an advantage. Xiao Chen, your strength has reached a new level."

After consuming the Infernal Delicate Apricot, Long Chen already possessed Fire Immunity.

The abilities brought by the Kui Niu made him even more at ease when facing Fire Attribute Soul Masters.

Ye Lingling then asked:

"Brother Chen, how many levels has your Soul Power increased?"

"It increased by two levels, now it's Level Fifty-Two."

"Level Fifty-Two! Brother Chen, with the speed of your Soul Power increase, you'll soon catch up to Teacher Qin Ming."

Long Chen nodded with a smile, not saying much.

He knew that by the time they returned to the Royal Academy, Qin Ming might no longer be their Team Leader Teacher.

With Dugu Bo's intervention, the Shrek teachers and students were unable to enter the Royal Academy, and Qin Ming would leave because of this.

The four of them prepared to set off again, heading deeper into the Forest Center.

After Ye Susu obtained her Seventh Soul Ring, her Soul Power reached Level Seventy-Two, officially advancing to a Soul Saint, gaining the ability to release her Martial Soul True Body.

After Ye Tianming obtained his Eighth Soul Ring, his Soul Power reached Level Eighty-Two, becoming a War Soul Douluo, his Combat Power further improved.

Afterward, the group returned to their home in Heaven Dou City.

~~~~~

A few days later, Long Chen and Ye Lingling returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy together.

Not long after entering the academy, they encountered Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan walked up with a smile.

"Long Chen, Lingling, why did you take so long to return?"

"Lingling's Martial Soul evolved, breaking through to Level Forty, we went together to hunt Soul Beasts."

"What?! Lingling broke through to Level Forty?! When we last parted, she was only Level Thirty-Five."

Dugu Yan frowned, finding it hard to believe.

"Long Chen, did you give Lingling some special medicinal herb? Like the one you gave me?"

"Yanzi, this is Lingling's special opportunity. It's a secret for now."

Dugu Yan raised an eyebrow and said in a joking tone:

"Okay! Okay! Okay! You are such an unpredictable person. If you don't want me to know something, asking is useless."

Ye Lingling asked:

"Sister Yan, have you gotten your Fourth Soul Ring? What's your Soul Power level now?"

Dugu Yan smiled proudly.

"Just as Long Chen said, my Soul Power has improved a lot. I'm Level Forty-Four now."

"Level Forty-Four, Sister Yan, you're amazing."

"That's all thanks to your Brother Chen. The increase in Soul Power is secondary. More importantly, when I cultivate now, I won't suffer from the backlash of poison anymore. The pain is gone."

"That's truly great. Without the torment of poison, your Soul Power will increase much faster in the future."

Long Chen asked:

"Your Soul Power increased so much all at once, they all know, right?"

"Of course. Rest assured, Grandpa has already instructed me. I told them that you found a medicinal herb for me, which removed the accumulated toxins in my body, releasing the Soul Power I used to suppress the toxins, hence the sudden increase in Soul Power."

Long Chen smiled.

"Your fabricated reason is quite plausible."

"Who cares? Whether they believe it or not, haha~"

Dugu Yan suddenly thought of something and her Face Changed.

"Right, I have something important to tell you. Teacher Qin Ming will no longer be our Team Leader Teacher."

Ye Lingling was shocked.

"What happened? What's going on?"

Dugu Yan explained:

"A few days ago, the Shrek Seven Devils came to our academy, along with their teachers. They were probably introduced by Teacher Qin Ming.

As far as I know, they want to participate in next year's Advanced Academy Soul Master Competition under the name of the Royal Academy's vice-captain.

However, they had bad luck and got into a conflict with the Fourth Prince Xuebeng and a few others at the academy Entrance."

The Fourth Prince found Prince Xuexing and rejected them.

"My grandpa also stepped in for this matter."

Ye Lingling finally understood.

"Teacher Qin Ming resigned because of this, right?"

Dugu Yan nodded and sighed:

"We got along with Teacher Qin Ming for several years, I really didn't expect him to abandon us because of this and leave with those people from Shrek Academy."

Long Chen had long expected this to happen and asked:

"Then who is our new Team Leader Teacher?"

"It seems to be Teacher Liu Zhicheng."

"Teacher Liu Zhicheng?"

Long Chen and Ye Lingling looked at each other.

Liu Zhicheng was a good friend of Ye Tianming, and Ye Lingling had received his Take Care Of when she first entered the academy.

He had recently broken through to Level Seventy and become a Battle Soul Saint.

Dugu Yan continued:

"Teacher Liu is also very good, he's a Battle Soul Saint. There's still nearly a year until the Soul Master Competition, so we'll be learning from him from now on."

For Long Chen, who the Team Leader Teacher was, didn't matter.

He just needed to stay Beside Ye Lingling and ensure her safety.

Long Chen knew that Tang San and the others would encounter Liu Erlong in Heaven Dou City, and Blue Overlord Academy would be renamed Shrek Academy.

They would still be able to participate in next year's Soul Master Competition.
