Bewildering Grand Canyon

Three days later, you and Tang Shan arrived at Shrek Academy.

Here, you met the other people whose genders had been swapped.

The delicate boy named Ning Rongrong.

The tall, burly Zhu Zhuqing.

Oscar, with a head of silver hair and an exquisitely beautiful face.

Zhao Wuji, petite and charming, yet a humanoid tyrannosaur.

You and Tang Shan passed Zhao Wuji's test together with the others and became new students of Shrek Academy.

The next day, you and Tang Shan met the little chubby girl Ma Hongjun.

The little chubby girl Ma Hongjun fell in love with you at first sight, and because of that, she got into a fight with Tang Shan. In the end, Tang Shan defeated Ma Hongjun.

"Hiss—"

In reality, Lin Bei sucked in a cold breath.

What the hell was this?

Ma Hongjun... no, Ma Hongjun—she fell in love with me at first sight?

And even got into a fight with Tang Shan?

Was this for real? This plot was way too ridiculous!

There were too many things to roast.

It left Lin Bei completely speechless.

You and Tang Shan studied at Shrek Academy. One day, Oscar's Soul Power reached rank thirty, and Flandre decided to have Zhao Wuji take you all to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt a soul ring for Oscar.

You all headed to the Star Dou Great Forest, stopping at a small town along the way to rest and resupply.

In the hotel where you stayed, Dai Mubai and the others deliberately provoked the students of Canghui Academy, and you got into a fight with them.

The people from Canghui Academy were no match for you. In the end, a female teacher stepped forward. Just as it looked like you were about to be taught a lesson by that female teacher, Zhao Wuji stepped in to protect you.

The next day, you arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest.

You hunted down a thousand-year Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent for Oscar's soul ring, but because of that, you offended Serpent Duke Chao Tianxiang and his grandson Chao Yiran.

At Chao Tianxiang's suggestion, you and Chao Yiran competed in Soul Power.

The Wind and Thunder Divine Sword, whose quality was no inferior to the Clear Sky Hammer, provided you with sufficiently powerful Soul Power and helped you defeat Chao Yiran.

A bet was a bet. Chao Tianxiang could only leave with his grandson, unwilling though he was.

Lin Bei: "..."

So it really was a full cast gender swap.

Even Chao Tianxiang and Meng Yiran had their genders changed.

You were just preparing to return to the academy when Tang Shan's Soul Power suddenly advanced to rank thirty.

So you stayed behind to search for a suitable soul ring for Tang Shan.

You searched for three days but did not find a soul beast suitable for Tang Na.

That night, you were keeping watch.

Suddenly, the earth roared, and the ground shook like the mountains were collapsing.

By the time you sensed something was wrong, a Titan Giant Ape as large as a small mountain had already crashed down with a boom.

Standing on the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder was Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu ordered the Titan Giant Ape to attack you.

You struggled with all your might.

But the Titan Giant Ape kept targeting you, and in the end, you were slapped into meat paste by the Titan Giant Ape.

Lin Bei: "..."

Damn it, if you can't win, you call your brother?

And the one you called was the overlord of the forest, the Titan Giant Ape?

What the fuck!

Xiao Wu, fine, you're really something!

Isn't it just a hundred-thousand-year soul beast?

Believe it or not, I'll bring people over right now and kill Xiao Wu... cough, forget it. This Xiao Wu isn't that Xiao Wu, so I won't take it out on her.

Lin Bei took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He could roughly guess why Xiao Wu had ordered the Titan Giant Ape to kill him.

She had probably lost to him in that spar back then and held a grudge. This time, when she discovered that he and Tang Shan had appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest, she immediately called over her little brother to come take revenge—

Trash!

If you couldn't win, you called your brothers.

Utter trash!

In his heart, Lin Bei savagely despised the gender-swapped Xiao Wu in the simulator, then looked at the reward options this time.

This simulation has ended. You may choose one of the following rewards.

One: Mutated Martial Soul · Wind and Thunder Divine Sword

Two: Level 29 Soul Power

Three: Gale Demon Wolf's soul ring

Four: Thunderous Flying Bird's soul ring

"Choose one."

Lin Bei did not hesitate and chose the first option directly.

Right now, all he lacked was a good sword.

In the simulator, he had been able to keep up with Tang Shan and the others by relying on that Wind and Thunder Divine Sword, which was enough to show how powerful this martial soul was.

And although this Wind and Thunder Divine Sword could not compare to the Pangu Creation Axe, its strength was on the same level as the Clear Sky Hammer. They were both top-tier martial souls.

Lin Bei just so happened to have the "Sword Control Technique" skill. If he did not choose this, what else would he choose?

"Sword Control Technique!"

Lin Bei summoned the Wind and Thunder Divine Sword and used Sword Control Technique.

In an instant, the divine sword carrying the power of wind and thunder flew wildly around the room.

"Very good."

Lin Bei smiled in satisfaction and withdrew the Wind and Thunder Divine Sword back into his body.

"I'm preparing to send you to the Bewildering Grand Canyon for training."

The next day, Lin Bei, Hu Liena, and the other two were summoned by Bibi Dong. They arrived at the Council Hall of the Papal Hall and heard those words come down from the papal seat.

Hu Liena and the other two froze. Then their bodies trembled slightly. Clearly, they knew just how terrifying a place the Bewildering Grand Canyon was.

Lin Bei, however, frowned.

Bewildering Grand Canyon...

He remembered that this place had only been mentioned in passing in the original work, and never appeared again afterward. All he knew was that Xie Yue and the other two were extremely afraid of going there.

Now Bibi Dong wanted them to cultivate there?

He did not really have any objections.

He just happened to be lacking some combat experience. Going to the Bewildering Grand Canyon to temper himself would not be a bad thing.

"Make your preparations. You leave in one week."

Bibi Dong clearly had no intention of discussing it with them and directly set the date.

"Yes, Teacher."

"Yes, Your Holiness."

Lin Bei and the other three immediately lowered their heads and agreed.

One week later, two carriages set out from Spirit City, heading for the Bewildering Grand Canyon.

After traveling for three days, they finally arrived at the Bewildering Grand Canyon.

After getting off the carriage, Lin Bei gazed at the enormous canyon ahead, shrouded in boundless mist, and followed behind Yue Guan toward the camp in front of the canyon.

As they walked, Yue Guan introduced it to Lin Bei.

"This is our Spirit Hall's camp stationed in front of the Bewildering Grand Canyon. Its function is about the same as the camp by the Star Dou Great Forest."

"However, the supplies here are even more abundant. Every so often, you can come out of the canyon and collect survival supplies from the camp."

Lin Bei asked, "Lord Yue Guan, did Teacher tell you how long we need to cultivate here?"

Yue Guan smiled and said, "Of course she did. If Na Na and the others want to leave this place, they must break through to level fifty. As for you... Her Holiness said it would be best if you could reach Titled Douluo."

Hu Liena and the others looked at Lin Bei in astonishment.

The corners of Xie Yue and Yan's mouths twitched outright, and they secretly thought, Sure enough, people really can't be compared to one another. We only need to break through to level fifty. Lin Bei, on the other hand, has to reach Titled Douluo.

They really weren't treating him like a human!

Was Titled Douluo something so easy to reach?

Who knew how many people exhausted their entire lives yet were still unable to break through the shackles of Soul Douluo and advance to Titled Douluo?

But to be honest, Lin Bei's performance was indeed absurdly heaven-defying.

Xie Yue looked at Lin Bei and kept feeling that this Holy Son could easily reach heights that others pursued their whole lives and could never attain!

Yue Guan patted Lin Bei's shoulder, his expression turning somewhat serious. "And Her Holiness said that you cannot team up with Na Na and the others. You must enter the middle section of the Bewildering Grand Canyon alone for training."

Hearing this, Hu Liena immediately cried out, "Wait, Lord Yue Guan, did you hear that wrong? Letting Junior Brother enter the middle section alone to train—isn't that sending him to his death?"

They had trained in the Bewildering Grand Canyon before, and knew just how dangerous it was inside.

The canyon's outer reaches alone were already extremely perilous. Even a Soul Emperor would have to tread carefully there.

As for the middle section of the Bewildering Grand Canyon, that was a place where even a Soul Douluo might lose their life.

Letting Lin Bei, a forty-fourth-rank Soul Ancestor, go in there—wasn't that just asking him to die?
