Douluo: I, Innate Soul Power Nine Thousand Levels! Chapter 18

Flender's eyes widened as he spoke in shock.

Zhao Wuji fell silent, his mouth hanging open.

It was the first time he had ever seen such a bizarre scene.

"I did sacrifice myself, but I didn't die. Still, I can't completely break free yet. My mind isn't ready to accept evolution."

Xiao Wu glanced at Ning Rongrong as she spoke.

"So that's how it is."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Chen Fan, seeming to understand what had happened.

"What's your answer?"

Chen Fan looked at Zhao Wuji and Flender across from him.

Seven soul rings slowly appeared around the two of them.

"If you want to recruit us, let's see if you have what it takes!"

Flender shouted.

At that moment, he and Zhao Wuji unleashed their Martial Soul Avatars and charged at Chen Fan!

Flender and Zhao Wuji were imposing indeed, looking like they had some real skill.

Chen Fan smiled. He had been wanting to test out his First Soul Skill.

There was one thing he found rather regrettable: after Xiao Wu's sacrifice, he had not obtained a Soft Bone Rabbit soul bone, so he could not show off with Invincible Golden Body.

As Zhao Wuji unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar, a Gravity Domain pressed down on Chen Fan.

Yet Chen Fan did not feel a thing.

How could a body capable of withstanding nine thousand levels of Soul Power be suppressed by such a weak soul skill?

Zhao Wuji took the lead, clenching his fists as immense power erupted from his body.

Flender chose to provide support from the rear.

Once the two had positioned themselves, Zhao Wuji charged forward while Flender, whose martial soul was an owl, gathered an attack in the sky.

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly ran away. They did not dare remain nearby, afraid of getting caught in the crossfire.

A massive fist came crashing down. Chen Fan did not move; the soul rings around him simply descended with crushing force.

When the giant fist was only a few centimeters away from him—

A thunderous boom erupted.

A bolt of black lightning suddenly appeared beside Chen Fan and blasted Zhao Wuji's fist away with lightning speed.

Before Zhao Wuji could even react, several streaks of lightning appeared above his head.

Rumble!

The black lightning sent him flying.

"First Soul Skill, Dark Thunder Devours Heaven!"

Chen Fan spoke. It was the name he had given the soul skill himself, signifying his intention to defy the heavens!

Boom!

In an instant, dozens of bolts of black lightning crashed down.

Within a radius of ten meters, the lightning descended with violent force.

Flender frantically dodged in the sky, but he was still struck.

He was not a Soul Master skilled in defense. The moment one bolt hit him, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face rapidly turned pale.

Zhao Wuji could take more of a beating. After his Great Vajra Bear martial soul possessed him, his body grew to nearly three meters tall.

His muscles bulged as his fists lashed out like a storm.

It looked as though he intended to face the black lightning head-on.

Immense power gathered around his fists as Zhao Wuji threw out punch after punch.

Yet at that moment, he suddenly discovered that the tremendous strength granted by his Great Vajra Bear had vanished.

His fists struck the lightning without causing it any damage at all. Instead, he was blasted three meters into the ground.

The instant he opened his mouth, he vomited a huge mouthful of blood. He looked utterly miserable.

More than a dozen lightning bolts locked onto Flender. He burst forth at high speed, but his speed was nothing before Dark Lightning. Unless one was a pure Agility Attack System Soul Master, there was no way to evade it.

More than a dozen lightning bolts struck Flender. He sprayed out a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale as even his glasses cracked.

In less than a minute, the headmaster and main combatant of Shrek Academy had been instantly defeated by Chen Fan's First Soul Skill!

Ma Hongjun's mouth fell open. He knew Chen Fan was strong, but he had never imagined him to be this ridiculously powerful.

His teacher and Teacher Zhao Wuji had not even lasted a single move against him.

The one hundred fiftieth bolt of lightning struck the ground, leaving the surrounding earth scarred with countless craters.

Chen Fan withdrew his power and looked toward Dai Mubai in the distance.

The instant Dai Mubai met his gaze, cold sweat broke out across his forehead, and fear filled his eyes.

Meanwhile, the three beauties of Shrek stared at Chen Fan with shining eyes, all showing a trace of admiration.

Xiao Wu especially understood herself somewhat. This soul skill had definitely been created by Chen Fan himself; it was not a soul skill brought by her Soft Bone Rabbit Soul Beast form.

What did a Soft Bone Rabbit know about wielding Lightning Power?

The scene fell silent. Chen Fan had not killed Flender or Zhao Wuji.

He wanted to recruit Shrek as his private army. Those two could not die yet; they needed to help him draw in fresh blood for him to influence with darkness.

Once his forces grew large enough, Chen Fan would be able to suppress the Angel lineage.

He would unify Douluo Continent and become the First Emperor himself!

"No, there's still the God Realm. I can't stop dreaming this early. I need greater ambitions."

Chen Fan shook his head.

"Let's set a small goal first: unify Soul Land Star."

At that moment, a light screen suddenly appeared before Chen Fan.

It was the system's light screen, displaying the second mission.

Chen Fan's expression immediately turned solemn as he examined the second mission.

Find the Blue Silver Emperor. Help her transform using the power of darkness, then make her your second soul ring. Reward: Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone Set, one million years.

After completing the mission, an invasion mission will unlock. Choose any force on Douluo Continent; after occupying it, you will obtain one page of Imperial Script.

Chen Fan studied it carefully, and his eyes gradually lit up. It seemed this system had ideas similar to his own.

"If I have to choose, then it has to be the Clear Sky Sect. Beat up the Clear Sky Sect, pound Tang Hao into the ground, and take Tang Yuehua."

Chen Fan stroked his chin, having already decided to choose the Clear Sky Sect.

"But to obtain a page of Imperial Script, I first have to complete the prerequisite mission: find the Blue Silver Emperor, help her with the power of darkness, and then make her sacrifice herself."

"This order is the opposite of Xiao Wu's, but the chances of success should be higher."

"The Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone Set sounds kind of underwhelming. Good thing it's one million years."

After thinking it through, Chen Fan put everything else aside and looked at Zhao Wuji and Flender.

Both wore grim expressions.

"Get lost. From now on, work for me properly, and if you do well, there will be rewards for you too."

"But if you pretend to obey while secretly defying me, I'll turn your Great Vajra Bear into a Powerless Soft Worm!"

At the threat, Zhao Wuji shuddered.

In the distance, Dai Mubai's eyes nearly split with rage. Sure enough, Chen Fan was the one behind what had happened to his martial soul!

He was furious. If looks could kill, Chen Fan would already have died ten thousand times over.

Only after fantasizing about brutally tormenting Chen Fan did Dai Mubai slowly calm down.

In just over a day, Shrek had undergone a huge upheaval.

Chen Fan returned to the academy.

He did not have anywhere to live for the time being, but Ning Rongrong said she knew of an empty room.

After tidying it up, Chen Fan temporarily settled there.

To find Ah Yin or the Clear Sky Sect, he would still need Tang Hao's help.

Tang San would probably return here eventually, so Chen Fan only needed to wait.

When the time came, he could simply follow him in secret.
