Entrusted to Shrek

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Seven Kill Sword Pavilion.

The clone of Ling Chen beside Chen Xin suddenly vanished. This sudden turn of events terrified him, and he immediately checked on Ling Chen's condition.

"What on earth is happening? Tian Yi! Wake up!"

Chen Xin shook Ling Chen, but Ling Chen did not move; even his breathing had stopped.

"Tian Yi! Tian Yi!"

Chen Xin touched Ling Chen's forehead, and a bone-chilling coldness seeped from his fingertips.

"No! Tian Yi, wake up! You cannot drift off!"

Chen Xin could feel that Ling Chen's heart was still beating, but his breathing had ceased entirely.

Suddenly, Ling Chen sat bolt upright, nearly scaring Chen Xin to death. After Ling Chen abruptly opened his hollow eyes, he collapsed back down.

At a loss for what to do, Chen Xin could only go find Ning Fengzhi to see if there was any way to save Ling Chen.

Inside the Dragon Pillar Space, Ling Chen's cracked Green Steel Sword was slowly recovering. The cracks did not disappear; rather, the Green Steel Sword was forging a new blade upon the foundation of those fissures.

The Green Steel Sword slowly descended to the ground, and a beam of blood-red light shot into the sky, the piercing sound of a sword hum vibrating through the Dragon Pillar Space. Despite such a massive commotion, Ling Chen showed no reaction at all.

Fortunately, during this process, Ling Chen's breathing resumed. As he inhaled fresh air, his consciousness began to gradually return.

"It hurts like hell!"

Ling Chen's consciousness climbed up from the ground, the buzzing in his mind still refusing to fade.

"My Dragon Pillar Space actually had a Thunder Tribulation! Cough, cough, cough... I almost vanished into thin air!"

Seeing that his Green Steel Sword was fine, Ling Chen swayed unsteadily and collapsed once more, his consciousness leaving the Dragon Pillar Space as he fell into a deep sleep.

After Chen Xin brought Ning Fengzhi over and carefully examined Ling Chen's body, finding nothing wrong, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems he cannot be allowed to use his killing intent at will from now on! This incident was too sudden; if we hadn't been prepared, the sect disciples would have likely..."

Ning Fengzhi sighed helplessly; nearly two thousand disciples had been buried in a sea of fire, and how could his heart not ache?

"I have decided to move into the empire and seek its protection. Given the nature of Martial Soul Hall, they will never let this rest!"

"Understood. And what about him?"

Chen Xin looked at Ling Chen. During tonight's battle, Ling Chen had been the most terrifying one of all.

They did not know why Ling Chen had left the walls of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to charge into the fray. Was it because he had been pent up for too long and his hands were itching?

Chen Xin did not know, but one thing was certain: Ling Chen had gone mad with slaughter!

The entire battle had relied on his domain to suppress the enemy, and while they had achieved a total victory, the situation just now still left Chen Xin with lingering fear.

He feared that Ling Chen would burn himself out on the battlefield; such a madman who had lost his consciousness was nothing but a meat grinder. Endless slaughter, fearless charges.

If he and Gu Rong had not stepped in to stop him, he feared that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have become Ling Chen's next target.

"Sigh, it is hard to imagine that this is something a child could do!"

Ning Fengzhi had never expected Ling Chen to be so insane. Even though Ling Chen's clones helped transport the bodies afterward, the people in the sect did not dare to meet the eyes of those clones.

The disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect feared Ling Chen; they were afraid that this god of slaughter would lose control one day, and that he would be even worse than Martial Soul Hall.

"Let us hand him over to Shrek Academy. The disciples in the sect are truly terrified of him!"

After some thought, Chen Xin made up his mind.

In Shrek Academy, not many people knew of someone like Ling Chen, but information regarding him would certainly reach Martial Soul Hall eventually.

If Ling Chen remained in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Martial Soul Hall would surely try everything to take him away or even kill him. Hiding him at Shrek Academy might not be a bad thing.

"Alright, that is settled! I will first seal this little guy's killing intent."

As Chen Xin spoke, he pressed his five fingers against Ling Chen's abdomen, and streams of sword qi surged within.

The next morning, the once magnificent Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was in ruins in many places.

Gu Rong was organizing the sect disciples for an orderly evacuation. Ling Chen heard the commotion outside but did not wake up.

Instead, he was in the Dragon Pillar Space, inspecting his Green Steel Sword, which had been strengthened five times.

There were no changes to its appearance; on the contrary, its weight had increased drastically. Ling Chen needed both hands just to pull it out of the ground.

"At this weight, it must be at least seventy catties!"

Ling Chen had already awakened his second martial soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and his strength had increased beyond what it once was.

Yet, even so, Ling Chen still had to exert significant effort to lift the Green Steel Sword. Ling Chen exerted force with both hands, and the Green Steel Sword broke through the soil.

"It seems the advanced training for the iron sword must continue!"

Ling Chen put away the Green Steel Sword, and his consciousness left the Dragon Pillar Space.

As soon as he stepped out of his room, Ling Chen was pulled into a carriage by Chen Xin, heading toward the Heaven Dou Empire.

Along the way, Chen Xin asked about what happened yesterday, but Ling Chen insisted that he had only had a nightmare and that there was nothing major to worry about.

Chen Xin did not pay much mind to it and told him that his killing intent had been sealed.

"We will be sending you to Shrek Academy shortly. To prevent you from losing control and going on a rampage, this master has completely sealed your martial soul and killing intent."

Ling Chen heard this, and a giant "dismay" expression surfaced on his face. So, true power really just invites a seal, huh? He could understand sealing his killing intent, but how could they seal his martial soul entirely?

Even if Ling Chen was unwilling and reluctant, he had no choice but to accept the facts. No matter how strong Sword Douluo was, he couldn't possibly seal a domain, right?

At the very least, Ling Chen could still use his domain and soul skills for the time being.

Upon arriving at Shrek Academy, Ning Fengzhi engaged in a conversation with Chen Xin, Yu Xiaogang, and the others, gaining an understanding of the general situation regarding the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, as well as the possibility that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had also suffered the catastrophe of extermination.

Yu Xiaogang sat in his chair, his heart filled with trepidation. Although Ling Chen's methods were not exactly honorable, they had indeed drawn the attention of their sects.

However, Yu Xiaogang had no idea what the current situation was.

"This little fellow can stay at Shrek Academy for now, but we will follow the usual rules for enrollment."

Chen Xin nodded in agreement, not minding at all; if Shrek didn't accept a freak like Ling Chen, there would be no justice in the world. Not to mention, Martial Soul Hall was still eyeing Ling Chen like a tiger stalking its prey.

"However, I must say, this little guy really has something special about him!"

Yu Xiaogang's gaze toward Ling Chen held a bit more approval; he hadn't exposed Ling Chen's grave-robbing activities, which could be considered giving him some face.

Ning Fengzhi gave Ning Rongrong a few more instructions before departing with Chen Xin. Watching the two big shots leave, everyone's eyes turned toward Ling Chen.

"How interesting. I said something felt off that day; your tone was exactly like an adult's! You brat, you've got some major issues!"

Flender approached Ling Chen from behind with a sinister look, ready to study him properly!
