Chapter 102: Lin Chen's Strength, Shrek's Shock
However, never mind Lin Chen just growing taller; even if Lin Chen turned to ash, Ma Hongjun would still recognize him.
Flender looked at the 1.9-meter-tall, immortal-like young man in front of him, feeling a hint of doubt.
Was this really the pretty boy they were looking for?
According to Ma Hongjun, that pretty boy was only about 1.5 meters tall. But the young man standing before them was nearly 1.9 meters tall.
Flender wasn't the only one confused. Zhao Wuji, beside him, was equally puzzled.
Zhao Wuji walked over to Ma Hongjun, bent down slightly, and asked quietly near his ear,
"Hongjun, is this really the pretty boy you're looking for?"
Hearing this, Ma Hongjun nodded heavily and said with certainty,
"Vice-Dean Zhao, I can't be mistaken. This is definitely the pretty boy from yesterday."
After hearing Ma Hongjun's confirmation, Zhao Wuji and Flender finally relaxed. It seemed they hadn't found the wrong person.
As for Yu Xiaogang, he had fallen into deep thought.
The more he looked at Lin Chen's face, the more familiar it seemed. It felt as though he had seen it somewhere before, and very clearly at that.
Before he could think further, Ma Hongjun's slightly shrill voice rang out.
"Dean, Vice-Dean, Godfather, help me pin down this pretty boy. Today I'm going to smash his manhood as well!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Hongjun's lips curled upward wildly, revealing a sinister grin.
"Pfft—"
Hearing Ma Hongjun call Yu Xiaogang "godfather," both Lin Chen and Hu Liena couldn't help but burst into laughter.
They both knew that Yu Xiaogang was also a eunuch. Now that Ma Hongjun had become a eunuch as well, didn't that make the two of them a father-and-son pair of eunuchs?
"What are you laughing at?!"
Ma Hongjun roared loudly, his eyes already bloodshot.
For some reason, the laughter of Lin Chen and Hu Liena, along with the looks in their eyes, made him feel like they were mocking him.
"Of course I'm laughing at you and that 'Grandmaster' behind you. A pair of eunuch father and son. Truly a match made in heaven."
Faced with Ma Hongjun's furious roar, Lin Chen laughed even harder, pointing at both Yu Xiaogang and Ma Hongjun.
"You… how do you know about that?!"
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang raised his orchid fingers and pointed at Lin Chen with trembling hands.
He had clearly already left Nuoding City and had come all the way to Suo Tuo City.
So why… Why did someone still know that he had become a eunuch?
The words struck directly at his sore spot, making him so angry he could barely breathe.
"Haha, Grandmaster, have you forgotten me? I'm Lin Chen."
"Back then at Nuoding Academy, didn't you want to take me as your disciple? Why don't you recognize me now?"
"But luckily, I didn't become your disciple. Otherwise, having a eunuch as a teacher would be utterly disgraceful."
Seeing that Yu Xiaogang couldn't recognize him, Lin Chen spoke up to help him recall the past.
It would have been better if Lin Chen had said nothing, but the moment he finished speaking, Yu Xiaogang was so furious that he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.
"You… you!"
Yu Xiaogang trembled with rage.
This brat Lin Chen actually dared to humiliate him like this. He has already found his way to death!
"Flender, capture this trash for me."
"Today, Hongjun won't just cripple him. I'll also use him as an experimental subject to help me break through to Soul Elder level."
Yu Xiaogang looked toward Flender and directly stated his demand.
"Alright, Xiaogang. I'll bring him to you right away."
As soon as the words fell, Flender stepped forward and reached out with a large hand to grab Lin Chen.
He didn't even use his martial soul.
Because, in his opinion, how strong could Lin Chen possibly be?
At Lin Chen's age, he was at most a Soul Grandmaster. Facing a Soul Saint like Flender, there was practically no chance of resistance.
Seeing Flender's hand reaching toward him, neither Lin Chen nor Hu Liena showed the slightest panic.
In the next moment—
Lin Chen threw a punch, colliding directly with the hand Flender was extending toward him.
Seeing this, Flender sneered, believing Lin Chen was simply smashing an egg against a rock.
He, Flender, had decades of cultivation as a Soul Saint. How could a mere brat compare with him?
The others behind Flender also sneered disdainfully. Lin Chen's action was simply overestimating himself.
But what happened next completely shocked them.
The moment Lin Chen's fist collided with Flender's palm, Flender was blasted backwards in an instant.
"This… how is this possible?!"
"Wasn't your martial soul Luo Sanpao? How did you become this strong?!"
Yu Xiaogang stared in disbelief.
How could Lin Chen, a piece of trash, become so powerful in just over a month?
Even if Flender hadn't summoned his martial soul earlier, Lin Chen still shouldn't have been able to compete with him.
"Heh, Grandmaster, my martial soul isn't called Luo Sanpao. It's called the Golden Dragon."
As soon as the words left his lips, Lin Chen released his soul power.
A terrifying pressure surged outward and pressed directly toward Yu Xiaogang.
The moment he felt that pressure, Yu Xiaogang was forced to the ground, unable to breathe.
At the same time—
Yu Xiaogang lost control of his lower body, and yellow liquid flowed all over the ground.
Seeing this, Lin Chen and Hu Liena hurriedly retreated backward. If the smell reached them, it would be unbearable.
After being blasted away by Lin Chen, the bones in Flender's palm had already shattered, causing him to bare his teeth in pain.
"Damn it… It must be because I didn't summon my martial soul."
"Old Zhao, summon your martial soul. Let's capture this pretty boy together."
After saying this, Flender summoned his martial soul, Owl, and seven soul rings appeared around his body.
Beside him, Zhao Wuji also summoned his martial soul, Vigorous Vajra Bear, with seven soul rings circling around him as well.
Seeing both deans summon their martial souls at the same time, Ma Hongjun began shouting excitedly in support.
He firmly believed that with the two deans going all out, they would definitely defeat Lin Chen.
"Pretty boy, now you're scared, aren't you?"
"Our two deans are both famous Soul Saint experts."
Ma Hongjun shouted encouragement to Flender and Zhao Wuji while continuing to mock Lin Chen, trying to suppress his arrogance.
"Heh, Soul Saints?"
"Coincidentally… so am I."
As Lin Chen finished speaking, soul rings began rising from beneath his feet.
First came two purple soul rings.
Then three black soul rings.
Finally—two blood-red soul rings.
At the same time, above Lin Chen, a nearly hundred-meter-long golden five-clawed dragon roared and coiled through the air, its enormous dragon eyes fixed on the four members of Shrek.
Seeing this scene, the four members of Shrek didn't even dare breathe loudly. Their eyes were filled with shock.
"This… this is impossible!"
Leaving aside the enormous golden dragon in the sky, the heaven-defying soul ring configuration on Lin Chen alone was enough to make them unable to believe what they were seeing.
Among them, the one who felt the most unbearable shock was Yu Xiaogang.
Because he knew Lin Chen's true background.
Just over a month ago, Lin Chen had been a useless trash with innate soul power of only half a rank.
But now—
Lin Chen had suddenly become a Soul Saint, with a heaven-defying soul ring configuration.
Not only that, Lin Chen's Luo Sanpao martial soul had evolved into a massive dragon that covered the sky.
Why?
Why did Lin Chen obtain such an incredible opportunity?!
