Douluo Continent: I, an evil soul master, work nine-to-five in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 83 Yao Haoxuan

"Don't worry about that, Senior Sister. I've always been very confident in my abilities. I said I'd give the Inner Court seniors a surprise today, and I'll definitely keep my word!"

Faced with Zhang Lexuan's questioning words, Luo Chen responded with a smile.

He could naturally guess some of Zhang Lexuan's thoughts. Having been adopted by Mu En since childhood, she had some understanding of the students in the inner court of Shrek Academy.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were all geniuses, let alone possessing her unparalleled talent. Those who could successfully pass the assessment and enter the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy were all geniuses among geniuses.

They're nowhere near as good as ordinary passersby!

Therefore, Zhang Lexuan's words were also a reminder to him not to be too arrogant, lest he suffer a setback. After all, as Elder Mu's disciple, if Luo Chen lost on his first day, the impression of him among the elders on Seagod Island would naturally be greatly diminished.

"Well, it's good that you understand. As for today, I guess Xiao Tao, Yue Heng, and those other guys with pretty good strength are still in seclusion and don't have time to come over. Otherwise, I would have introduced you to them."

"Even if those core students from the inner courtyard aren't here, the others are no pushovers either. You'd better think carefully about what to do later. I'll help you out a bit. Just pick a few to practice on and let them get a general idea of ​​your strength."

As she spoke, Zhang Lexuan seemed to sense something and looked at the figure walking towards Luo Chen step by step behind him.

"Senior Sister, is this the genius you mentioned before? He seems quite promising. His soul power aura is very strong; he must be at least at the Soul Master level, right?"

Upon hearing this somewhat childish voice, Luo Chen followed Zhang Lexuan's gaze and looked behind him. He saw that the speaker was a "child" who looked like a child and was only a little over 1.6 meters tall.

"Oh, it's Xiao Yao. You're here quite early. But if you guessed right, this guy is the little genius that Elder Xuan specially allowed to enter Seagod Island to cultivate. He's not much older than you, so you'd better take good care of him."

Upon seeing the child-like figure approaching from a distance, Zhang Lexuan's eyes showed a hint of surprise, but she still spoke as before.

However, a hint of helplessness crept into his eyes as he looked at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen understood the meaning Zhang Lexuan was conveying, and upon hearing her words, a look of surprise appeared on his face:

"Yao... could you be Yao Haoxuan, the senior who was exceptionally admitted to the inner academy with the academy's approval?"

Luo Chen didn't really know which senior students were in the inner academy, but he did know a few key figures with outstanding talent. The red-clad senior in front of him, who looked even younger than him, was none other than Yao Haoxuan, the genius soul master with exceptional talent who was the subject of much discussion among the outer academy students.

"Hey, young man, you actually recognize me. Looks like I'm quite famous in the outer courtyard. That saves me the trouble of introducing myself again. But what's your name again, young man?"

Seeing that Luo Chen knew him, Yao Haoxuan couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he quickly recovered and looked at Luo Chen in front of him, asking.

"Hello, Senior Yao. My name is Luo Chen. I hope we can take care of each other in the future."

Although Yao Haoxuan looked incredibly young, Luo Chen didn't really see him as a child, since the powerful soul energy fluctuations emanating from him were undeniable.

At least a Soul King level!

To be able to break through to the fifth-ring Soul King at such a young age, such talent in cultivation is breathtaking, even for Luo Chen, who is only a first-year student and is about to break through to the fourth-ring Soul Master. It is simply too amazing!

At roughly the same age as him, the other party had already reached the level of a five-ring Soul King. If he hadn't been taking drugs, his talent was truly remarkable. No wonder Zhang Lexuan, who always had a cold face, was so gentle when she treated him.

"Of course, no problem, Junior Brother Luo. I was wondering what kind of genius could make Elder Xuan specially allow you to enter Seagod Island to cultivate. I thought you must be at least a four-ring Soul Master, but I didn't expect that you are only a three-ring Soul Venerable."

"That does surprise me a bit. Without strength at the Soul Grandmaster level or above, Elder Xuan would be unlikely to allow outer court students to cultivate on Seagod Island. This means that Junior Brother Luo, you are able to unleash the strength of a four-ring Soul Grandmaster with your current three-ring Soul Venerable cultivation?"

After greeting Luo Chen, Yao Haoxuan shared his guess.

Upon hearing his words, Luo Chen was taken aback, seemingly not expecting that the other party could roughly determine his strength simply by observing the fluctuations in his own soul power.

Unfortunately, while Yao Haoxuan's guess was quite correct, his assessment of Luo Chen's strength was still too low. This is not surprising, since even in Shrek Academy, not many people can possess the strength of a Soul Master at the Soul Venerable level.

Not to mention a monster like Luo Chen, who can easily defeat an ordinary five-ring Soul King with the cultivation of a three-ring Soul Master!

"To possess Soul Master-level combat power at the level of a three-ring Soul Venerable is quite impressive, Junior Brother Luo. And you're still so young; you have a very good chance of surpassing me in the future!"

As Yao Haoxuan spoke, he also smiled and encouraged Luo Chen in front of him. His smile was very genuine and showed no sign of being fake.

Seeing that the other party was trying to get closer, Luo Chen smiled and flattered him:

"Senior Yao, you flatter me. I'm only a three-ring Soul Master, while you're already a five-ring Soul King. By the time I reach the five-ring Soul King level, you'll probably already be a Soul Emperor, right?"

"Oh? You can tell my cultivation level?"

Seeing that Luo Chen directly revealed his cultivation level, Yao Haoxuan couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes. As a five-ring Soul King, it was nothing unusual for him to be able to see Luo Chen's soul power level.

However, Luo Chen was able to see through his soul power cultivation in the same way, which was quite exaggerated. When a low-level soul master faces a high-level soul master, he should only be able to feel a vague concept of strength or weakness, but Luo Chen was able to determine his realm so directly.

This really opened Yao Haoxuan's eyes.

However, Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but laugh, and then explained:

"This guy has the ability to detect strength. It's not surprising that he can see your soul power level. Even though I had completely concealed my aura, I still couldn't escape his detection."

"I see. I knew it. How could a three-ring Soul Master possibly achieve this? It's just too strange..."

Upon hearing Zhang Lexuan's explanation, Yao Haoxuan nodded silently, seemingly understanding, and the surprise on his face gradually subsided.

However, Luo Chen seemed to be suppressing a laugh, with an uncontrollable smile spreading across his lips. Although Zhang Lexuan's explanation was correct, he really hadn't used any soul detection skills just now.

With his current perception ability, he cannot be measured by ordinary three-ring Soul Masters. Having already absorbed a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, even without relying on detection Soul Skills, he has reached the Soul King level in terms of both physical fitness and mental strength!

Therefore, it was not difficult for him to see through Yao Haoxuan, who had already entered the fifth-ring Soul King realm.

"A truly remarkable ability. For a Soul Master, this is practically a divine skill! Being able to detect the opponent's strength level undoubtedly gives them a significant innate advantage!"

"If this ability is used in a competition, it can even allow for preemptive strikes, enabling you to react before your opponent can even react. And this applies not only to individual competitions but also to team competitions!"

After learning about Luo Chen's abilities, Yao Haoxuan's gaze towards him became even more amiable. With just this one ability, he could already see the extraordinary nature of this junior!

"No wonder Elder Xuan sent you directly to Seagod Island to study. Your abilities are probably more than that. To be noticed by Elder Xuan, your talent is truly astonishing..."

Luo Chen simply smiled and did not respond. Of course he knew that this detection ability was very useful. After all, how could a skill that could detect the opponent's strength without limit be useless?

However, Luo Chen couldn't flaunt his abilities. As a first-year student from the outer academy, he was already flamboyant enough to have entered Seagod Island for cultivation. If he were to reveal his abilities further, it would be too conspicuous.

His current goal is simply to reveal a portion of his strength, so that both the outer and inner academy students know that he didn't get to cultivate on Seagod Island through back channels.

If he were to reveal his full strength, he would inevitably become the target of everyone's attacks, which would not be a good thing for someone who is currently only an outer court student.

Of course, with Elder Mu, a level 99 Limit Douluo, and Elder Xuan, a level 98 Super Douluo, backing him up, there wouldn't be any problem even if he truly displayed unparalleled talent and strength.

However, Luo Chen didn't want to be too flashy. After all, cultivation requires focus, and if he were bothered by trivial matters all day long, it would inevitably affect his cultivation.

It's not the time for him to make a big show of himself yet, so he must remain calm, minimize his influence, and keep a low profile.

"Well, since those guys haven't arrived yet, Luo Chen, why don't you try sparring with Xiao Yao first, so she can get a general idea of ​​your skill level?"

Seeing that Luo Chen didn't seem willing to explain, Zhang Lexuan coughed lightly and then asked him.

Hearing this, Luo Chen naturally had no objection. He never refused to spar with a genius soul master who was also a monster, and he also wanted to see how his strength differed from that of Yao, a senior student of similar age.

However, Yao Haoxuan, standing to the side, seemed somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Zhang Lexuan to ask him to spar with Luo Chen, and couldn't help but say with a strange expression:

"Huh? I'm sparring with Junior Brother Luo? Senior Sister, isn't that a bit too much of a sparring match for Junior Brother Luo? After all, I'm already a Soul King. If I'm going to use my Soul King level cultivation to fight Junior Brother Luo, then what's the point of sparring?"

This wasn't just him being modest. With his strength, he was already among the top geniuses even within the inner academy. It wouldn't be impossible for him to participate in the future All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament as a student from Shrek Academy.

At this moment, Zhang Lexuan asked him to spar with Luo Chen. In his opinion, wasn't this obviously bullying Luo Chen? After all, no matter how he thought about it, he didn't believe that a junior student at the level of a three-ring Soul Master could fight against him, a five-ring Soul King!

There are two whole realms between the two!

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than Luo Chen beside him showed a hint of fighting spirit on his face and readily said:

"It's okay, Senior Yao. Just go all out. Senior Sister said this is just a friendly spar, so you don't need to worry about me getting hurt. After all, I'm pretty sturdy!"

As he spoke, a confident smile appeared on Luo Chen's lips.

Although with his current strength he could easily defeat ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts and five-ring soul kings, those were just ordinary five-ring soul kings, while Yao Haoxuan in front of him clearly did not belong to that category.

Judging from the life force emanating from him and the powerful soul power fluctuations, even if he claimed that he could defeat a six-ring Soul Emperor, Luo Chen would not have any doubts. After all, the powerful life force was right there, leaving Luo Chen no choice but to believe it.

One can roughly judge a person's strength from their life force. Although Yao Haoxuan in front of him was only a five-ring Soul King, his vast blood and qi power surprised Luo Chen.

It's hard to imagine that such a young boy could have such a powerful aura. Even Luo Chen, whose aura was equally extraordinary, was somewhat surprised at this moment.

But mostly, I was excited!

After all, with Luo Chen's current strength, none of the students in the outer academy can compete with him, not even Bei Bei, who is also a three-ring Soul Master!

Therefore, it was clearly impossible for Luo Chen to hone his skills by sparring with the students in the outer courtyard. The gap in strength was simply too great; Luo Chen was afraid he might even kill them if he used too much force...

Yao Haoxuan in front of him was obviously a good candidate. He had extraordinary talent, was of similar age, and had impeccable strength. He was the perfect candidate for practice!
