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

Chapter 90 Judgment Errors

Even so, Zhang Lexuan understood that although Luo Chen was ostensibly chosen by Elder Xuan to cultivate on Seagod Island, he had already become Mu En's disciple, and was very likely to be the last disciple.

Therefore, once Luo Chen has fully matured, his authority within Shrek Academy will inevitably surpass hers sooner or later; it's only a matter of time.

Furthermore, Zhang Lexuan had a very clear understanding of Luo Chen's talent. However, as a first-year student in the outer academy, at the age of only eleven or twelve, he was able to possess such a terrifying soul ring configuration and such unconventional combat power.

If he successfully breaks through to the seventh-ring Soul Saint and possesses a Martial Soul True Body, his combat power might even surpass Zhang Lexuan's current level, and he would also possess strength comparable to a Title Douluo!

Zhang Lexuan had no doubt about Luo Chen's potential. After all, in her opinion, even when she was Luo Chen's age, she was far less terrifying than him.

Let alone fighting against Yao Haoxuan, who is close to the Soul Emperor level, Zhang Lexuan is not confident of winning even against an ordinary five-ring Soul King. After all, not everyone can fight against a five-ring Soul King alone at the age when they should only be Great Soul Masters!

Moreover, Luo Chen's current soul power cultivation is quite astonishing. Although Shrek Academy is full of genius soul masters selected from all over the country, only a very few of these soul masters are able to break through to the Soul Master level in their first year.

This is not a given; it is extremely rare. Not everyone can cultivate at such a fast speed. People like Ning Tian and Wang Dong have consumed countless rare and precious herbs or elixirs since childhood to reach their current level.

However, despite this, he was only at the initial stage of Soul Master, far from being as terrifying as Yao Haoxuan and Luo Chen. As for the other students, there is no need to say more. Even among the students with innate full soul power, there are still many who have not yet advanced to the third ring Soul Master!

Therefore, in Zhang Lexuan's view, Luo Chen, who has only just entered Shrek Academy and whose soul power is already close to that of a four-ring Soul Master, can no longer be described simply as a "genius". Such a cultivation speed is unmatched even by many in the inner academy.

This is an absolute monster!

That's why Zhang Lexuan turned a blind eye to him. Now that she knew about Luo Chen's talent, potential, and terrifying strength, Zhang Lexuan understood even more why Elder Mu wanted to take him as a disciple and grant him the right to cultivate on Seagod Island.

It should be noted that even teachers from Shrek Academy are not allowed to enter Seagod Island without urgent business and the academy's permission, so as not to interfere with the inner students' cultivation.

However, Luo Chen, who was only a first-year student in the outer academy, was allowed to do so. This meant that in the eyes of Xuan Zi and Mu En, Luo Chen, who was only eleven or twelve years old at the time, was already equivalent to an ordinary student in the inner academy of Shrek Academy.

This situation has never happened before. The fact that Elder Mu values ​​him and specifically took him as a disciple, and even kept the news a secret, is enough to prove that Luo Chen has quite a few secrets that they have not yet known.

However, Zhang Lexuan didn't want to guess what Elder Mu's specific intentions were. Since Elder Mu hadn't given any instructions, she just needed to follow them.

Just now, Luo Chen defeated Yao Haoxuan in a pure physical contest, and then forcibly suppressed a group of inner court students with his own martial spirit. In fact, Zhang Lexuan did not need to take action in this matter.

However, due to the orders given by Elder Mu, no matter how unwilling she was, she could only obediently follow his wishes and was forced to act as a peacemaker to prevent the situation from escalating further.

Normally, as the senior sister of the inner academy, she would naturally protect the inner academy students if they were bullied. However, at this moment, compared to the group of inner academy students in front of her, Luo Chen's identity is the most noteworthy.

This gave Zhang Lexuan a headache. If she had known that Luo Chen's arrival on Seagod Island would lead to such a change, she wouldn't have invited all the inner court students over.

Her original intention was to have a group of inner court students spar with Luo Chen to test his strength. After all, she only had a superficial understanding of Luo Chen, and she also wanted to give him a warning. As the senior sister of the inner court, she naturally had to put the new students in a good position and establish her authority.

But who could have imagined that Luo Chen's strength would be so monstrous? Not only did the expected sparring not happen, but the result was completely opposite to what they had anticipated.

In Zhang Lexuan's view, no matter how strong Luo Chen's talent was, he was too young to defeat these senior students who had been cultivating in the inner courtyard for a long time. After all, no matter how ordinary the students in the inner courtyard were, they were still students of the inner courtyard, which was far superior to the mixed situation in the outer courtyard.

The students in the inner academy, not to mention that they are all at least Soul King level, their combat power alone far surpasses that of ordinary Soul Kings. If it were the geniuses of the same age in other academies, they would be far superior.

While the students from the inner academy might not be able to completely dominate their opponents, winning the match easily shouldn't be a problem. After all, Shrek Academy has a foundation spanning tens of thousands of years, and its overall quality is certainly incomparable to that of some second-rate academies.

Not to mention that these students are all elite students from Shrek Academy. In the future, they will definitely be able to reach the level of a seven-ring Soul Saint, and some may even be able to break through to the level of a nine-ring Title Douluo!

Especially now, including Zhang Lexuan, the strongest group of Shrek Academy inner court students, such a powerful lineup would be a formidable force even among the major empires!

However, right now, even though they are no different from the chosen ones in the eyes of ordinary people, the inner students of Shrek Academy are powerless against Luo Chen. After he releases his martial soul, they can't even put up a fight!

This greatly changed Zhang Lexuan's opinion of Luo Chen, and at the same time, she couldn't help but feel sorry for these inner court students, as her assessment of Luo Chen's strength was seriously flawed.

At first, she thought that Luo Chen's strength was just as it had been shown at the beginning, only slightly stronger than a three-ring Soul Master. Even if he could defeat a four-ring Soul Master, he certainly couldn't compete with the Inner Court students whose combat power was far beyond that of ordinary Soul Kings.

However, Luo Chen's actual combat strength greatly exceeded her expectations. From the aura that Luo Chen had just displayed, Zhang Lexuan had roughly judged his own strength, which was definitely above that of a five-ring Soul King!

With just a single soul skill and the aura boost naturally provided by his martial soul, he was able to suppress a group of inner court students with five-ring cultivation levels, rendering them unable to move. This was something that a normal three-ring soul master could not do.

Even just now, Yao Haoxuan, whose talent was equally astonishing, was suppressed by that strong and strange aura of death. Yao Haoxuan, who had strength close to that of a six-ring Soul Emperor, was actually suppressed by this aura.

Although this doesn't necessarily mean he will lose to Luo Chen, Zhang Lexuan believes it's highly likely. After all, while Yao Haoxuan possesses near-six-ring Soul Emperor-level combat power after releasing his Martial Soul, he is still a five-ring Soul King and a support-type Soul Master.

Even though the support-type soul skill he released could provide some boost to himself, these boosts were not enough to allow him to withstand a powerful offensive soul skill of the same ten-thousand-year level!

Therefore, even if Yao Haoxuan's physical abilities far surpass Luo Chen's and reach the Soul Emperor level, he still cannot defeat Luo Chen after comprehensive consideration. After all, Luo Chen does not necessarily need to engage in a physical contest with Yao Haoxuan.

Moreover, even if it were a true contest of physical prowess, Luo Chen, who had mastered extremely profound strength-based combat techniques, might not necessarily be suppressed by Yao Haoxuan.

Although it was highly unlikely, after some deliberation, Zhang Lexuan could only admit that Yao Haoxuan was inferior to Luo Chen. Even though Yao Haoxuan was more than one level faster than Luo Chen in terms of cultivation speed, so what?

What is truly being considered is the overall quality of the students. No matter the time, the strength that one can exert is the most crucial and important factor. In Zhang Lexuan's view, Luo Chen, who is currently only a first-year student of the outer academy, is already fully capable of joining the cultivation of the inner academy students as an inner academy student.

However, for now, she still needs to adjust how she treats Luo Chen and the other inner court students. Since the academy has approved Luo Chen to enter Seagod Island to cultivate, it naturally means that Luo Chen has the same qualifications as the other inner court students to receive instruction from inner court teachers in the inner court's training grounds.

However, bound by Elder Mu's orders, she could only keep an eye on Luo Chen as much as possible during this period to prevent absurd incidents like today's friction between Shrek Academy's inner court seniors and Luo Chen from happening again. But since she herself had provoked this, she couldn't blame Luo Chen.

After all, who could have imagined at the beginning that Luo Chen's combat power would be so terrifying, that he could suppress a group of senior students from the inner courtyard with his own strength!

This was indeed beyond Zhang Lexuan's judgment.

However, this is not necessarily a bad thing for Luo Chen himself. From today onwards, the name "Luo Chen" will become well-known in the inner academy and even in the outer academy.

Because this is a first-year student from the outer academy with the combat strength of an inner academy student, whether in terms of his own strength, talent, or even potential, he will be promoted to the top tier of Shrek Academy's monster-level genius!

This is also what all the higher-ups at Shrek Academy want to see, because if you want to gain the corresponding resources and status at Shrek Academy, you must demonstrate a certain value.

Although Luo Chen had already defeated Xu Sanshi, a sixth-year student, in the outer academy as a freshman, and successfully become known to all the students in the outer academy, he had become a complete monster!

However, even so, this was not enough to convince the inner court students, since they were all once genius-level students in the outer court and had been granted the status of core disciples by Shrek Academy.

However, Luo Chen was different. He was just a freshman who had just joined Shrek Academy. In terms of influence, he was far less than these senior students. Even Yao Haoxuan, who was about the same age as him, was promoted to an inner student only after defeating the invincible outer student.

Therefore, even though Luo Chen showed extremely high potential for development, the higher-ups at Shrek Academy could only wait and see. At most, they would send Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy, and Du Weilun, the director of teaching at the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy, to negotiate with him.

And granting him the status of a core disciple was already the limit, considering that Luo Chen had only studied at Shrek Academy for a few days at most.

It's probably not even been a week yet!

In such a short time, he was able to defeat a sixth-grade high-level Soul Master who was known as the best defender in the outer academy. Such strength and talent are already extremely strong and enough to attract the attention of the higher-ups of Shrek Academy.

Now, after awakening his martial soul, Luo Chen's strength has undergone a qualitative leap, which can almost be described as a complete transformation. His already terrifying record has been further improved, pushing this record to a level that is unprecedented and unparalleled!

Being able to defeat a group of students from the inner academy of Shrek Academy as a first-year student from the outer academy is something that even Zhang Lexuan, who is known as the number one genius in Shrek Academy in three thousand years, could not do!

On the surface, Luo Chen had definitely offended a group of students from the inner court of Shrek Academy, but in reality, this impact was negligible for Luo Chen. After all, with Mu En and Xuan Zi standing behind him, they would not allow the students from the inner court to affect Luo Chen's normal cultivation.

Furthermore, practical combat is the most important aspect of Shrek Academy. Since Luo Chen was able to defeat a group of inner court students of Shrek Academy at such a young age, he is undoubtedly more valuable to cultivate than these inner court students.

Moreover, he is currently a disciple of the current Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy. Naturally, the higher-ups at Shrek Academy would pay more attention to such a rare and exceptional genius. Therefore, from Luo Chen's perspective, doing so would only shorten the time it takes for him to become stronger.

After all, whether he came to this Seagod Island or became Mu En's disciple, Luo Chen's goal was to become stronger, to have the strength to protect himself, and on that basis, to obtain a corresponding status!
