Douluo Sharingan, I really didn't coerce Xiao Wu!

Chapter 122 Breaking Through Level 50

The cardinal who was leading the way stormed off, leaving the Shrek group with no choice but to find their way to the hotel they had arranged to rest on their own.

Because Tang San was injured, Flander no longer required his star student to apologize to Xiao Chen.

He was just putting on an act anyway, and seeing Tang San's weakened state, he naturally lost the will to maintain the facade.

An hour later, the group finally found Shrek's private hotel. When they arrived, several other schools had already checked in.

The hotel is very spacious, covering more than 2,000 square meters and six stories high. It has a large courtyard in the front and back, and is equipped with a swimming pool, garden, pavilions, etc. It is more appropriate to call it a manor.

Two female staff members approached with friendly and bright smiles to welcome Shrek to his room.

"Finally, I can get some rest. I'm exhausted from this journey." Ma Hongjun stretched and yawned. More than ten days of traveling had worn him out, and he had lost a lot of weight.

The others were also exhausted, having not had a good night's sleep since leaving Tiandou City, and rushed into their own rooms impatiently.

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong said they were filthy and needed a good bath and a nice good night's sleep.

"Xiao Chen, you can share a room with Tyrone," Flander said.

The Spirit Hall allocated a limited number of rooms, all for two people. Huang Yuan and Jing Ling shared a room, while Jiang Zhu and Zhu Zhuqing were assigned together, leaving only Tai Long in the last room.

"No need, I can just book one myself." Chen Xuan didn't even think about it and decisively went downstairs to find the front desk.

The fees here are indeed very expensive; a ten-day renewal costs 300 gold soul coins, which is much more expensive than other items of the same level.

Chen Xuan reached into his pocket, only to find it empty. He then remembered that he had left all the gold soul coins with his younger sister, Chen Yiyi, before setting off.

He gave the staff an awkward but polite smile, then turned to the wealthy young woman Ning Rongrong and borrowed a thousand gold soul coins.

The little witch readily agreed, without even blinking, saying that it didn't need to be returned, and that it would be considered a thank-you gift for saving her life that day.

In the end, Chen Xuan got his wish and rented a room for himself.

Second day

Early in the morning, the Shrek Seven Devils and their substitutes were gathered in the open space in front of the hotel.

"Dean, what are you doing! We haven't even had breakfast yet," Ma Hongjun complained with a long face.

The sun hadn't even risen yet when they were called to gather, and everyone was very resentful.

Flander, with a stern face, kicked the fat man's big buttocks, saying with exasperation, "Eat, eat, all you know is how to eat, you have no ambition at all."

Seeing this, the Shrek members obediently shut up and dared not utter another complaint.

Flander cleared his throat and said, "The final of the All-Continent Soul Master Competition is in three days. You must seize the time to cultivate and not slack off."

The Shrek Academy members were taken aback, only then realizing that they had been training for more than ten days and had not yet engaged in actual combat.

Those academies that made it to the finals are definitely not simple; they are on par with Shrek Academy.

Tang San quickly made arrangements, saying, "Let's use the old method. Mu Bai, you deal with Fatty and Xiao Ao together. Rong Rong and Zhu Qing will handle the rest. The rest can make their own arrangements."

Everyone nodded, agreeing with his arrangement.

Finally, Tang San's gaze fell on Xiao Wu, and he asked, "Xiao Wu, what level are you now?"

"Brother, I'm level 39 now, but I feel like I'll be level 40 soon," Xiao Wu said, though her eyes were darting around, as if she was trying to appear calm.

Tang San was delighted and gave her an encouraging look. In this way, the original members of the Shrek Academy team all reached the Soul Master level.

"Xiao Wu, you'd better work hard, or you'll fall further and further behind me," Dai Mubai and Oscar laughed.

Chen Xuan knew she was lying; her actual soul power might have already surpassed Dai Mubai's.

How could the rare crystal radish be an ordinary product? From the day Xiao Wu ate it, her soul power could no longer remain at level thirty-nine.

In the time that followed, the Shrek team, while ensuring they got plenty of rest, devoted all their time to training and meditation, striving to reach even greater heights.

"Brother, everyone, I've reached level 40!" Xiao Wu exclaimed excitedly.

Two days later, she announced to everyone that her soul power had finally broken through.

"Xiao Wu, well done." Dai Mubai gave her a thumbs up.

The Shrek Seven Devils congratulated her and were happy for her. Among the Seven Devils, she was the only one who had never eaten vanilla, yet she still managed to keep up with her companions, which was truly impressive.

Upon hearing this news, Liu Erlong was overjoyed and excitedly gave Xiao Wu a loving hug.

"My little Wu, you're amazing! Mommy is so proud of you." Her face beamed with a happy smile.

Losing Xiaogang often made her sad and secretly heartbroken, but now she has finally heard some good news.

"Xiao Wu, before the competition starts, hurry up and let Teacher Erlong take you to hunt soul beasts," Dai Mubai said.

Everyone nodded in agreement and urged Xiao Wu to quickly obtain the spirit rings, so that the Shrek Academy team would have eight spirit masters.

Xiao Wu immediately lowered her head, her face darkening, no longer wanting to hunt soul beasts.

She is a soul beast who has transformed into a human, and she is most unwilling to see her fellow beings killed. Moreover, the way she obtains soul rings is special and cannot be seen by others.

She was about to find a reason to refuse, but Liu Erlong didn't give her a chance at all. He grabbed Xiaowu's hand and pulled her out.

"That's right. Since it's still early, Mom will take you to hunt soul beasts now. My little Wu is so amazing." Liu Erlong was so happy and excited that she didn't notice Xiao Wu's strange expression.

Oscar patted Tang San on the shoulder and asked with a puzzled look, "Isn't it a good thing to have someone help hunt spirit beasts? Why does Xiao Wu look so unwilling?"

Tang San shook his head, smiled but remained silent, offering no answer to the question.

"Dean Erlong, wait a moment."

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out, stopping the two who had just taken a step.

The Shrek Academy members were immediately taken aback. Chen Xuan looked on with a puzzled expression. What was he going to do?

Liu Erlong frowned slightly, but still stopped. She turned to look at Chen Xuan, somewhat displeased, and said coldly, "Little Chen, what do you want?"

Time is of the essence; there's only a day and a half left to help Xiao Wu acquire a soul ring.

"I mean, I'll come too," Chen Xuan said.

Upon hearing this, Tang San's eyes turned cold, and he almost couldn't suppress his killing intent again.

Why is Xiao Wu getting so close to him? Is she trying to steal him away?

Flander frowned, walked over, and said, "Little Chen, your focus now should be on cultivation. Erlong alone is enough to hunt down soul beasts."

"Dean, what I mean is, I've already reached level 50 and I also need to acquire a soul ring," Chen Xuan said calmly.

He revealed some details: in fact, his soul power had already reached level 49 when he was in Tiandou City, and just now, his soul power finally broke through and reached level 50.

Chen Xuan remained calm, showing little excitement. He had already anticipated this; based on the feedback from the exceptional plant in the red soil, he expected to break through in eight to ten days, and today marked the eighth day.

His calm tone, however, struck the Shrek Academy members like a thunderclap, leaving them reeling.

The Shrek Seven Devils were unable to calm down and could hardly believe it. The accident had come too suddenly, and they were so shocked that it was like a major earthquake, and they could not calm down for a long time.

Zhu Zhuqing's red lips parted slightly, her face showing an expression of disbelief. Although she had long known that Chen Xuan was hiding his true abilities, she was still shocked by this result.

"Brother Chen, you're not kidding, are you?!" Ma Hongjun was stunned; the amount of information was overwhelming.

You have to understand, they cultivated so diligently, with the guidance of masters and having consumed immortal herbs, it took them more than a year to break through to the seventh or eighth level.

"Xiao Chen, you're not kidding, are you? You really reached level 50?" Flander's mouth was agape, looking surprised. He admitted that he had spoken a little too loudly earlier.
