Douluo Continent II: Senior Sister, Please Help Me Cultivate

Chapter 232 The Bet with Zhang Lexuan

Meng Hongchen, speechless, pinched her slender waist, her eyebrows furrowed, and said to Xiao Hongchen, "Idiot brother, of course I know Shrek Academy won't harm us, but what if they don't like us and try to make things difficult for us?"

Xiao Hongchen said seriously, "Dream, do you think that if we keep a low profile, we won't be targeted? We are from the Sun Moon Empire, and in Shrek Academy's eyes, we are enemies."

Over the next few years, Shrek Academy will definitely try every means to prevent us from learning their true core knowledge.

Similarly, exchange students from Shrek Academy will also be targeted when they come to my Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Since we'll be targeted no matter what, there's no point in hiding anything.

Meng Hongchen sighed and then said, "Brother, today you said in front of the Dean of Shrek Academy that Shrek City is inferior to Mingdu."

Although what you said is true, it could very well make Dean Yan Shaozhe unhappy with us, and I'm afraid he'll target us during tomorrow's assessment.

Xiao Hongchen said arrogantly, "We'll meet force with force, and water with earth. As long as they don't bully the weak, I'd like to see what Shrek Academy has up its sleeve!"

Hearing Xiao Hongchen's words, Meng Hongchen became proud, "Brother, you're right. We'll meet force with force. Tomorrow I'll see what Shrek Academy can do to us."

Then, Meng Hongchen looked out the window at the beautiful Sea God Lake and said, "Brother, let's go and wander around Shrek Academy."

Xiao Hong shook her head. "What's so great about Shrek Academy? You'd be better off cultivating."

Meng Hongchen: (。`ω) What's wrong with you, brother? You dare to disobey your sister!

Soon, Xiao Hongchen was conscripted by his younger sister, under the pretext of scouting enemy positions.

...............................

While the siblings Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were wandering around Shrek Academy.

Yan Shaozhe's family.

At this moment, Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier were eating at the dining table.

While eating, Yan Shaozhe was thinking about how to deal with the exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy tomorrow.

Yan Shaozhe pondered in his mind, thinking, "The alien races of the Sun Moon Empire are truly ignorant of their own limitations, daring to look down on my Shrek Academy. We must teach them a lesson."

Which inner court students will be sent to tomorrow's assessment?

The exchange students of the Sun Moon Empire are all Soul King level.

Chen Feng? No, no, sending Chen Feng would be too obvious. It's clear they don't want them to pass the test.

Although the alien races of the Sun Moon Empire are idiots in cultivation, they are not stupid. Targeting them too obviously would be counterproductive.

So who should we send? The exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy are all Soul King level. If we don't send Chen Feng, who should we send?

As Yan Shaozhe was deep in thought, Cai Meier, who was sitting opposite him, saw him deep in thought and asked with a smile, "Shaozhe, what's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

When Yan Shaozhe heard Cai Meier call him, he replied, "Didn't I bring back ten exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy today?"

They want to enter the inner academy, so I set up an assessment for them. I was just thinking about how to assess the exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Cai Meier's eyes crinkled into crescents. When it came to understanding Yan Shaozhe, she was undoubtedly the best.

Cai Meier knew that Yan Shaozhe disliked the people of the Sun Moon Empire and definitely did not want the exchange students from the Sun Moon Empire to enter the inner academy so easily.

Cai Meier asked with a smile, "Shao Zhe, what methods did you use to assess those exchange students from the Sun Moon Empire?"

Yan Shaozhe said, "The assessment is quite simple. It's just that those exchange students from the Sun Moon Empire have to outlast the inner students of our Shrek Academy at the same level for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before they pass the assessment."

Cai Meier asked, "Shao Zhe, what are the cultivation levels of those exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy?"

Yan Shaozhe said, "Those exchange students are all at the Soul King level."

Hearing Yan Shaozhe's words, Cai Meier covered her mouth and laughed, "That's easy! Just let Chen Feng handle it, right? Do you think those people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy can possibly be a match for Chen Feng?"

Yan Shaozhe shook his head and said, "Mei'er, that would be too deliberate. Besides, we can't let Chen Feng take care of all the exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy by himself. We should at least send a few more inner court students."

After listening to Yan Shaozhe's words, Cai Meier began to think about which students in the inner courtyard had suitable cultivation levels and strong combat abilities.

As the vice dean of the Martial Soul Department, Cai Meier does not participate in the management of Shrek Academy's outer academy. She usually stays on Seagod Island to teach in the inner academy (as clearly stated in the original work).

Therefore, Cai Meier's understanding of the inner court students' strength was much deeper than that of Yan Shaozhe, who focused most of his energy on managing the Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department.

Soon, Cai Meier selected several inner court students with strong combat capabilities.

Chen Zifeng, a level 58 (originally level 57, his cultivation level increased by one level in the past few months), is a powerful offensive type Battle Soul King. His Martial Soul is the Soul Chasing Sword, which is very suitable for him.

There's also Wang Zhengwen, who, although he's already twenty-two years old, has reached level fifty-nine in soul power, and his martial soul is the powerful sub-dragon martial soul, Black Flood Dragon.

.........

After thinking of a few inner court students, Cai Meier said to Yan Shaozhe, "Shaozhe, the inner court students at the Soul King level, Chen Zifeng, Wang Zhengwen, Li Fei... these students are all high-level Soul Kings with powerful martial souls and abundant soul power."

After hearing Cai Meier's words, Yan Shaozhe laughed and said, "Meier, the inner court students you chose are excellent. Tomorrow, let them teach a lesson to the exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Keep them in the outer court for at least a year before letting them enter the inner court."

Yan Shaozhe stroked his white beard and smiled smugly.

Cai Meier smiled. She didn't like the people of the Sun Moon Empire either. Suddenly, Cai Meier thought of the exchange students from Shrek Academy.

Cai Meier thought to herself, "Going to Shrek Academy as an exchange student at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy probably won't be easy either."

Cai Meier suggested, "Shao Zhe, this is a rare opportunity for our inner court students to fight against those genius soul masters from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

Why not just organize a training session and let the students in the inner courtyard watch this assessment competition together?

This is so that they can have a deeper understanding of the Soul Master.

Yan Shaozhe nodded repeatedly upon hearing Cai Meier's suggestion, "Good, that's a good idea. I'll instruct the inner court teachers to take the inner court students to the Soul Fighting Zone of Shrek Academy's outer court during tomorrow's classes."

"Go watch battles between Soul Masters and Soul Instructors to deepen your understanding of Soul Instructors, so you won't be at a loss when fighting them in the future."

Yan Shaozhe immediately burst out laughing.

Cai Meier nodded after hearing this. The Soul Fighting Area was spacious and had spectator seating, which would be convenient for the inner court students to watch.

Seeing that Yan Shaozhe was still happily gloating, Cai Meier urged him, "Shaozhe, hurry up and eat, or the food will get cold."

...............................

The next day, warm golden sunlight pierced the black night, ushering in dawn. As the sun rose and the moon set, a new day began.

A light mist hangs over Poseidon Lake, shrouding the island in its center in a hazy, dreamlike scene, like a fairyland. In the soft morning light, the lakeside scenery is picturesque, tranquil, and enchanting.

The lake's surface is like a mirror, clear and transparent, reflecting the azure sky and white clouds. A gentle breeze blows, and ripples spread across the lake, shimmering with tiny sunlight, like countless diamonds dancing in the air.

Two groups of people gathered separately on the shore of the lake.

On the east side of the lake, seven students from Shrek Academy, dressed in their red inner court uniforms, whispered amongst themselves, glancing at the people opposite them with strange looks.

On the west side of the lake, the exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy looked on with heavy expressions as they watched the students from Shrek Academy's inner court across the lake, all of them with solemn expressions.

Meng Hongchen whispered to Xiao Hongchen beside her, "Brother, the Shrek Academy students on the other side have a very strong aura, and their soul power is very strong."

Xiao Hongchen frowned, his red eyes meeting the provocative gaze from the other side, and he snorted.

Xiao Hongchen replied to Meng Hongchen, "None of the people Shrek Academy selected have a cultivation level below 55. It seems Shrek Academy doesn't want us to enter the inner academy so easily."

Meng Hongchen's beautiful blue eyes shone with fighting spirit; she had already inquired about Shrek Academy yesterday.

As an inner court student, Chen Feng rarely appeared in the outer court of Shrek Academy.

Chen Feng is currently on Poseidon Island within the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy.

Since that's the case, Meng Hongchen is determined to go to Poseidon Island today.

The Soul King of Shrek Academy won't be able to stop her from seeing Chen Feng!

Anyone who dares to stop me will be beaten so badly their own mother wouldn't recognize them!

The students of Shrek Academy's inner court looked at the exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Some showed disdain, while others even gave a thumbs-down.

The exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy were filled with rage.

Xiao Hongchen looked at the inner court students of Shrek Academy, his forehead veins bulging with anger. As a ninth-level soul master, a titled Douluo powerhouse, the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and the grandson of Jing Hongchen, the head of the Mingde Hall, he was furious.

Xiao Hongchen had never been looked down upon like this before, but considering that he was at Shrek Academy, he had no choice but to endure it.

He understood the principle that one has to bow one's head when under someone's roof, and he knew that getting into a conflict with the Shrek Academy people would definitely not end well.

Xiao Hongchen thought to himself, "When we fight later, I'll see just how strong you really are, hmph!"

Just as the exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and the students from Shrek Academy were on the verge of war.

An elderly man dressed in white robes descended from the sky. It was Yan Shaozhe, the dean of Shrek Academy.

Yan Shaozhe glanced at the exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and smiled gently, "Students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, your assessment today will be held in the Soul Battle Zone of Shrek Academy. Follow me."

After saying that, Yan Shaozhe led the group toward the Soul Fighting Zone of Shrek Academy.

The Soul Fighting Zone is a very important area in Shrek Academy, located in the northwest corner of the Martial Soul System, near Shrek City.

The Soul Fighting Zone is hexagonal, roughly the same size as Shrek Square, with a large open space in the center where the contestants compete.

The surrounding area consists of concentric circles of seats that gradually rise upwards, which can accommodate approximately three thousand people at the same time.

As soon as they entered the Soul Battle Zone, the exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy looked at the more than one hundred Inner Academy students in their red uniforms, exuding powerful auras, and their expressions immediately became solemn.

Only Meng Hongchen glanced around, her expression excited, and looked at the incomparably handsome figure on the stage with a hint of infatuation in her eyes.

Looking at her sister's expression, Meng Hongchen suddenly thought of a man.

Following Meng Hongchen's gaze, and just as Xiao Hongchen had predicted, she saw Chen Feng's figure.

A fighting spirit flashed in Xiao Hongchen's eyes, but it was suppressed in an instant.

As the finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament came to a close, Xiao Hongchen gained a deeper and deeper understanding of Chen Feng's strength.

In particular, Chen Feng defeated Ma Rulong, who was wielding an eighth-level soul tool, in the finals in no time.

This also made Xiao Hongchen realize Chen Feng's strength, and that he was definitely not someone Xiao Hongchen could easily fool.

Xiao Hongchen thought to himself: Chen Feng is terrifyingly powerful. I will cultivate diligently for thirty years before challenging him again…

Chen Feng noticed Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen's gazes and smiled at them.

Looking at Chen Feng's smile, Meng Hongchen's heart raced, her face flushed, and she shyly lowered her head.

Xiao Hongchen thought to himself, "Chen Feng, one day I will catch up with you, hmph!"

At this moment, a woman with a gentle temperament and stunning beauty, sitting next to Chen Feng, smiled at Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen below the stage.

He asked, "Oh, Chen Feng, do you know the students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy sitting below the stage?"

Chen Feng said, "Senior Sister, most of the exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy below the stage are members who have participated in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, so I naturally know them."

Zhang Lexuan nodded to indicate that she understood, and then turned her gaze to the audience.

At this moment, Yan Shaozhe addressed the exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, saying, "Alright, exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, who wants to go first?"

Xiao Hongchen banished Chen Feng from his mind and said arrogantly, "I'll go first!"

After saying that, Xiao Hongchen's figure flashed and he arrived at the Soul Arena.

Yan Shaozhe watched as Xiao Hongchen, the little red-haired guy, entered the arena and immediately decided to send out his strongest player to deal with him.

Yan Shaozhe said, "Chen Zifeng, you go."

A tall, slender man with a warm smile on his face said, "Yes, Dean Yan."

After saying that, Chen Zifeng also stepped onto the Soul Arena.

Yan Shaozhe said, "For this assessment, the exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy only need to withstand the attacks of my Shrek Academy's inner court students for the duration of an incense stick to burn to pass the assessment and be able to enter the inner court for study."

"Xiao Hongchen, Chen Zifeng, I will personally oversee the competition. You two just focus on fighting and don't worry about anything else."

On the battle stage, Xiao Hongchen asked Yan Shaozhe, "Dean Yan, if I defeat one of your Shrek Academy's inner court students, will there be any extra rewards?"

Upon hearing Xiao Hongchen's words, Chen Zifeng's warm smile vanished instantly, replaced by a chilling aura.

Upon hearing the arrogant words uttered by the alien race from the Sun Moon Empire, many inner court students in the audience exclaimed, "The scoundrels of the Sun Moon Empire truly do not know their own limitations."

Chen Zifeng is an elite member of our inner academy. He has been cultivating at the Soul King level for a long time, and his combat strength is outstanding. You still think you can defeat Chen Zifeng?

"Chen Zifeng, keep it up! Give the people of the Sun Moon Empire a piece of their mind!!"

"That's right, let this red-haired brat know how powerful Shrek Academy is!!" As Chen Zifeng and Xiao Hongchen battled on the stage.

Zhang Lexuan, sitting in the audience, laughed and said, "Xiao Hongchen's soul power isn't solid enough. It seems he used drugs to stimulate it. His cultivation level is also several levels lower than Chen Zifeng's. It seems Chen Zifeng should have won."

Chen Feng listened to Zhang Lexuan's words and said, "Senior Sister, that's not necessarily true. I think Xiao Hongchen has a better chance of winning."

Zhang Lexuan tilted her head to look at Chen Feng, her stunningly beautiful face so close to his, breathtakingly gorgeous, and utterly captivating. "Oh, Chen Feng, do you think that exchange student from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy will win?"

Chen Feng said, "What, Senior Sister, you don't believe me? How about we make a bet?"

Zhang Lexuan smiled and asked, "How do we bet?"

Chen Feng smiled and said, "If you lose, Senior Sister, you'll be my sparring partner for a while."

Zhang Lexuan smiled and said, "Okay, I agree, but Chen Feng, if you lose, you have to behave yourself and not provoke other women."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Alright, Senior Sister, I agree to your request."

………………

Upon hearing Xiao Hongchen's words, Yan Shaozhe said, "If you defeat Chen Zifeng, I will personally reward you with a Soul Ascension Pill."

Xiao Hongchen said, "Alright, then Dean Yan Shaozhe, just watch how I defeat your Shrek Academy's inner court students."

Yan Shaozhe's lips twitched upon hearing Xiao Hongchen's arrogant remarks. He thought to himself, "Fine, fine, arrogant enough. I'll see if you have the right to be so!"

Yan Shaozhe announced, "The assessment begins!"

As Yan Shaozhe finished speaking, Chen Zifeng's martial soul was activated, and a rich red light rose up. The moment this red soul power appeared, Chen Zifeng exuded an aura of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Chen Zifeng held the Soul-Chasing Sword, with five soul rings—yellow, purple, and black—surrounding the blood-red slender sword.

Chen Zifeng's heart pounded violently, and the slender, blood-red Soul-Chasing Sword in his hand burst forth with a crimson light.

A rich red light suddenly rose from Chen Zifeng's body, and a strong blood aura was released from Chen Zifeng's body.

Chen Zifeng's eyes instantly turned blood red, revealing boundless killing intent within them.

As Yan Shaozhe finished speaking, Xiao Hongchen also performed the Martial Soul Possession.

A flash of golden light appeared on Xiao Hongchen's body, and an extra leg appeared behind him, at the position of his buttocks.

The leg was entirely gold, and at the same time, a dazzling gold layer covered his entire body.

Xiao Hongchen, with three legs, crouched slightly, his three spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—shining brightly.

This is Xiao Hongchen's martial soul, the top-tier martial soul Three-Legged Golden Toad, hailed by the Sun Moon Empire as the most suitable martial soul for a Soul Master.

Chen Zifeng made the first move. With a wave of his hand, the blood-red longsword in his hand vanished instantly.

Immediately afterwards, a crimson light burst forth as Chen Zifeng channeled his crimson soul power into his Martial Soul Chasing Sword.

The crimson slender sword hummed continuously in the air, its blade trembling slightly, and two yellow spirit rings lit up.

The tip of the Soul-Chasing Sword flashed with blood-red light, and it actually spat out a three-inch sword beam.

This is Chen Zifeng's first soul skill, Sharpness; his second soul skill is Break.

Immediately afterwards, the blood-red slender sword transformed into a streak of blood-red lightning, piercing towards Xiao Hongchen.

Xiao Hongchen is no pushover either, being the most talented student in the history of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

He possesses unique abilities of his own.

Xiao Hongchen's first and third soul rings, one yellow and one purple, lit up simultaneously.

One hundred and twenty-eight metal spheres flew into the air, and thick metal cannon barrels actually grew out from those metal spheres.

At this moment, Xiao Hongchen's second and fourth spirit rings lit up, and countless golden light spots in the air of the Soul Arena quickly surged towards Xiao Hongchen's body.

As these points of light approached Xiao Hongchen, they all ignited, releasing a massive amount of golden energy that flowed into the 128 cannon barrels.

As these golden specks merged in, each metal cannon barrel began to radiate a dazzling light.

The next moment, all 128 soul-guided cannons erupted simultaneously, their terrifying power causing Zhang Lexuan's pupils to shrink.
