Douluo Continent: Heaven rewards diligence, Tang San's defenses are breached by liver damage.

Shui Lanxin arrived outside early, with two figures standing beside her. One was Leng Man, the head teacher who was very familiar with Lin Chuan, and the other was a voluptuous woman who was also a rare beauty.

However, she is still slightly inferior to Shui Lanxin and Leng Man.

"Xiao Chuan, let me introduce you. This is Teacher Qin Shan, a level 63 Soul Emperor with the Narcissus Martial Soul. She is a healing-type Soul Master and will be traveling with us to the Star Dou Great Forest this time."

"Hello, Teacher Qin, I'll be relying on you from now on!"

Lin Chuan bowed slightly and greeted him very politely.

Qin Shan nodded with a smile, "You must be Lin Chuan. I've heard Dean Shui and Director Leng talk about you before. I didn't expect you to be such a handsome young man. But don't be shy, leave this treatment to me!"

Let's get going!

Leng Man suddenly spoke, her voice cold and stiff, and the others nodded in agreement.

A carriage quickly left Tianshui Academy. The carriage was not luxurious, but it was not simple either. The horses pulling it were not ordinary horses, but hybrid offspring of a kind of equine spirit beast and ordinary horses, called Spirit Wind Horses.

Because they are raised by humans, they are not as irritable as spirit beasts, and they are faster than ordinary horses, making them a very high-quality means of transportation.

The carriage pulled by the Lingfeng horse was also made of high-quality materials, and its stability was excellent. Even at high speeds, it was hardly bumpy.

Inside the carriage, Lin Chuan was surrounded by three beautiful women, and a faint fragrance filled the air.

Logically speaking, among the three women in front of them, Qin Shan is undoubtedly the youngest, but she is at least over thirty years old, while Shui Lanxin and Leng Man are in their early forties. However, they look like they are thirty years old. It seems that time has not left any marks on them, and even their skin is exceptionally supple and radiant.

Lin Chuan sat in the middle, smelling the different body fragrance, and didn't even dare to take a deep breath.

"Xiao Chuan, what did you do after you left the academy?"

Having been away from Tianshui Academy for so long, Shui Lanxin finally couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked a question.

Leng Man and Qin Shan, who were standing to the side, also looked over at the same time.

"Well... I went back to the village, then went to Gengxin City in the Star Luo Empire to buy some things, and then came straight back."

"That's all?"

Shui Lanxin raised her eyebrows slightly, looking puzzled. "If you really want something, you can just tell me. I can have my family keep an eye out for you. Why do you need to make a special trip?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Dean, but there are some things that only I can recognize."

Leng Man stared at Lin Chuan and suddenly interjected, "It must be more than just buying some things, right?"

Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow slightly, but did not deny it. "Director Leng guessed correctly, but please allow me to keep you in suspense for now regarding the specifics of what we did. In any case, the results were quite good, and you will find out later. You definitely won't be disappointed!"

Hearing this, Shui Lanxin gave Lin Chuan a reproachful look.

"You're not that old, but you've already learned to keep people in suspense. Xiao Chuan, you've really gone astray."

Such interaction caused Qin Shan, who was standing to the side, to widen her eyes in surprise.

She never imagined that the usually stern-looking dean and head of student affairs would be so approachable, even somewhat... in front of a boy.

How should I put it? She's showing signs of being a little girl?!

Qin Shan shuddered, startling herself, and quickly dismissed the absurd idea.

'It must be my imagination, how could it be?!'

Shui Lanxin and Leng Man had no idea what Qin Shan was thinking. Lin Chuan, on the other hand, looked at Qin Shan with a strange expression and a puzzled look.

This beautiful teacher seems to be thinking about something incredible!

"Lin Chuan, have you decided which spirit beast you want to get your fifth spirit ring from?"

Leng Man asked another question.

Lin Chuan replied almost without hesitation, "Any light-attribute or metal-attribute soul beast is fine. As for the age, around 20,000 years old is fine!"

"Twenty thousand years? That's already beyond the absorption period for level fifty, isn't it?"

Qin Shan looked surprised and instinctively cried out.

She knew very well that Lin Chuan was a genius, or rather, all the teachers at Tianshui Academy knew that a genius boy had come to the academy. When Shui Lanxin approached her before, she had also roughly learned about the situation.

Qin Shan originally thought that a Soul King at the age of twelve or thirteen was already quite extraordinary, but to actually absorb a 20,000-year Soul Ring was simply outrageous.

"Dean?!"

Qin Shan looked serious and turned to look at Shui Lanxin.

“I understand,” Shui Lanxin said without surprise, nodding slightly before looking at Qin Shan. “Teacher Qin, the matter concerning Xiao Chuan is a top secret of the academy. He has already reached ten thousand years in the fourth ring, so twenty thousand years is not considered dangerous for him.”

"However, I hope you can keep this information to yourself for now, at least until the big competition."

"hiss……"

Qin Shan's red lips parted slightly, she gasped, her eyes filled with disbelief.

The fourth spirit ring is ten thousand years, that's just outrageous!

No, it should be called perverted!

With such a freak around, Tianshui Academy will undoubtedly become better and better, and her future as a teacher at Tianshui Academy will naturally be even brighter.

Thinking about this, Qin Shan couldn't help but feel a little expectant.

I didn't get recommended in the second round, it seems like I was eliminated, which is a bit of a shame. But I still thank all the readers for their support, and I'll keep working hard!

Chapter 49 Fierce Battle in the Forest

Star Forest.

A handsome, tall, and strong young man, dressed in a light blue outfit and with a straw hat hanging on his back, was walking through the dense jungle.

Behind him were three mature and beautiful women dressed in blue and white dresses.

The three beautiful women appeared to be around thirty years old, with cold and aloof looks, fair and radiant skin, and tall, slender figures. Their beautiful figures were accentuated by their dresses, exuding a fiery charm that contrasted sharply with their cold and arrogant demeanor.

It was Lin Chuan and his group.

Time flies. The boy, who was only twelve or thirteen years old at the time, has grown into a grown-up and has even grown to about 1.8 meters tall.

It's no wonder it's called Douluo Continent; the development speed is indeed quite outrageous.

"Be careful from here on out. Not far ahead is the mixed area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, where thousand-year-old soul beasts and ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts are mixed together. Be aware of your surroundings at all times."

"Leng Man, you are responsible for protecting Teacher Qin Shan. Our goal this time is to avoid battle as much as possible. If we encounter a soul beast that attacks us, we must disengage and leave immediately."

Shui Lanxin stood at the front of the line, her expression slightly serious.

Even Soul Masters dare not be careless in the Star Dou Great Forest, after all, this is the home ground of Soul Beasts. Not to mention, in the case of the same level, Soul Beasts undoubtedly have the advantage in battle. The innate physical strength of Soul Beasts is enough to give Soul Masters a headache.

The other three nodded slightly. Lin Chuan and Qin Shan stayed in the center of the group, while Leng Man was responsible for bringing up the rear.

In fact, Lin Chuan would have been careful even without Shui Lanxin's reminder. From the moment he entered the Star Dou Great Forest, he had already released his Observation Haki, keeping a watchful eye on everything around him.

As long as he's not fighting, using it to probe the surrounding atmosphere isn't a big burden for him.

On the surface, the Star Dou Great Forest is home to 100,000-year-old soul beasts, but Lin Chuan knows very well that in the core area, there are even more ferocious beasts led by the Silver Dragon King.

Even if those monsters don't suddenly appear, it's still best to be cautious nonetheless.

As they ventured deeper, the powerful auras around them grew stronger.

"Boom, bang, bang!"

Suddenly, a strange noise came from afar, and the ground began to tremble slightly.

"There's a battle ahead!"

Shui Lanxin stopped immediately, her expression gradually becoming serious.

Despite the great distance, the exaggerated fluctuations of soul power still startled her, clearly indicating that the two sides engaged in battle were not simple.

"Let's get away from this area to avoid being accidentally injured."

Shui Lanxin's immediate decision to stay away was undoubtedly the wisest solution.

However, Lin Chuan's Observation Haki detected the battle in the distance, especially the three familiar auras, which he recognized instantly.

Xiao Wu, Titan Giant Ape, and Tang Hao, the Great Hammer.

No wonder the battle fluctuations were so terrifying; it was a battle at the level of a Title Douluo.

"That means the people from Shrek Academy should also be in the Star Dou Great Forest."

Lin Chuan instantly realized this; if it weren't for protecting Tang San, Tang Hao would never have appeared in a place like this.

It must have been a coincidence that Tang Hao chose to make a move when he encountered Xiao Wu. Unfortunately, this place is Xiao Wu's home turf, and with the Titan Giant Ape protecting her, it won't be so easy to take down that 100,000-year-old rabbit.

It's just unknown how Xiao Wu was discovered.

Could it be that he was just bored and wandering around the Star Dou Great Forest, and then he just happened to be run into?

Lin Chuan nodded with a strange expression, seemingly agreeing.

If it's Xiao Wu, that's quite possible!

"Xiao Chuan, stop spacing out and let's go!"
