Chapter 15: Five Years Later, Changes

## Five Years Later, Shrek Academy

A 1.75-meter-tall boy wearing a black casual suit, with a sturdy figure, black curly hair with a wolf tail, and a handsome face was reviewing the stick technique he created. This young man is Li Luochen. Five years have passed, and he is now twelve years old.

Ever since he absorbed a spirit ring and obtained a spirit bone at a higher level when he was a little over seven and a half years old, he has been able to level up once every four months on average. Li Luochen had reached level 29 when he was nine and a half years old, but level 29 to level 30 is indeed a threshold. Li Luochen was stuck for about half a year, and when he was ten years old, he broke through to level 30 and became a quasi-Soul Master, breaking the record of Shrek Academy. The previous record holder was Qin Ming, who broke through to the Soul Master level at the age of thirteen, and Li Luochen was three years earlier than Qin Ming.

After Li Luochen broke through, he was taken by Flanders to hunt soul beasts. Li Luochen's third soul ring was obtained in a swamp in the Star Dou Great Forest. It is an 8,000-year-old water dragon. It has acquired the soul skill, Rippling Blue Waves, which emits wave-like attacks centered on the dragon-patterned stick, layer upon layer, and is a range attack.

There are two ways to release it. One is that Li Luochen smashes the ground with the dragon-patterned stick, and a wave attack spreads outward from the smashed position. It is easy to become stiff and dizzy after being hit. This release method is the most powerful. The other is to simply spread with the dragon-patterned stick as the center, which is a bit similar to the body-protecting soul skill.

As for why he was not worried about the incompatibility of water and fire causing his body to break apart, it was because the energy of the second and third soul rings of the Blazing Dragon Wings was equal, and the absorption was just balanced. The main thing is to have a perfect balance when absorbing. After the spirit ring becomes completely yours, you don't need to worry about the backlash. The wind attribute of the first spirit ring also plays a role in balancing water and fire. Sure enough, the route is not wrong, just a little difficult.

After absorbing the spirit ring, Li Luochen's level reached level 33. Since he reached the Soul Master level, his cultivation speed has completely slowed down, almost two levels a year, and now Li Luochen's spirit power level is at the peak of level 37. It is equivalent to a fifteen-year-old Dai Mubai, but with Li Luochen's current strength, he can beat five Dai Mubai.

When Li Luochen was eleven years old, he started to participate in the fighting spirit of the Soto Great Fighting Spirit Arena. Now he has a silver fighting spirit badge and is still a few games away from the gold fighting spirit badge. His winning rate is 47 wins and 3 losses. Winning: You will get one point for each battle you win. Failure: If you lose a battle, one point will be deducted accordingly.

Winning streak bonus rule: When the winning streak reaches five games, each winning streak will directly increase the points by 10. When the winning streak reaches ten games, each winning streak will increase the points by 100. Advanced requirements: To upgrade from Iron Soul to Bronze Soul, you need 100 points. To upgrade from Bronze Soul to Silver Soul, you need 1,000 points. In a battle between bronze fighting spirits, each victory will earn ten points, and each loss will also deduct ten points. Li Luochen is now very close to getting the Gold Fighting Soul Badge. Also because of the fighting soul gambling, Li Luochen is not short of money now and is worth millions of Gold Soul Coins.

Li Luochen always wore a white robe and a mask when he went to the fighting spirits to prevent others from knowing his age. After all, the configuration of one yellow and two purple spirit rings was too scary. In the current Shrek Academy, Oscar and Ma Hongjun are already practicing in Shrek Academy, and Li Luochen is their big brother. Oscar just needs to practice steadily and not be lazy. He is eight years old now and his soul power level is already 18. At this rate, he is very likely to reach level 30 at the age of twelve. Ma Hongjun is the Evil Fire Phoenix, a chicken that mutated into a powerful fire attribute. Li Luochen's suggestion to him is that each soul ring should be attached to a soul beast with the bloodline of the phoenix.

To purify Ma Hongjun's phoenix bloodline, Ma Hongjun's first soul ring absorbed a part of the phoenix bloodline of a four-hundred-year-old fire phoenix. Ma Hongjun's martial soul sequelae have become much more stable. Although his first soul skill is still Phoenix Fire, it is extremely powerful. Li Luochen's suggestion to Flanders was to find a soul beast with phoenix bloodline or a soul beast with sacred fire attributes for Ma Hongjun, such as the Fire Spirit Holy Beast.

There are only three students in Shrek Academy now. The two previous seniors dropped out because they could not bear the pressure. Shrek Academy is not short of money now, and there is no such thing as scamming students for tuition fees. In fact, there are students entering the academy every year, but they are eventually eliminated. However, Flanders is now open-minded. Even the eliminated students actually had good talents, so Flanders sent them all to study at Blue Ba Academy. The dean of Blue Ba Academy, Liu Erlong, was Flanders' good friend (and secret crush). As the eldest brother, he feels obligated to help the youngest sister expand student resources.

Nowadays, the teachers at Shrek Academy have different levels of cultivation. Not long after Li Luochen obtained his second soul ring, Flanders went into seclusion and broke through to level 70 in one go. Afterwards, all the teachers went to the Xingdou Great Forest to help Flanders obtain the seventh soul ring, and even his youngest sister Liu Erlong came to help. A quasi-soul saint and five soul emperors joined forces to help Flanders hunt down a 52,000-year-old golden eagle king. A piece of his right arm bone also fell off, but those present were all close friends of Flanders and naturally would not turn against him because of a soul bone. After Flanders absorbed the soul ring and soul bone, his soul power level reached level 73. Now Flanders' strength has reached level 78, six years faster than the original timeline.

Zhao Wuji also broke through to the Soul Saint level two years ago, and Flanders helped him hunt down a 42,000-year-old earth brown bear. Zhao Wuji's soul power level is now 73. Shao Xin is 68, Lu Qibin is 66, and Li Yusong is 64. The ability to upgrade so quickly is not only due to the whale glue. Li Luochen also passed on the "Zhoutian Wuji Gong" to the teachers. However, it is not perfect yet, but the speed of cultivation is much faster than meditation. Now the teaching staff of Shrek Academy is much stronger. It is said that Flanders can reach the level of Soul Douluo after another five years of practice. Are you still worried that Shrek Academy will not be able to open?

Because of Li Luochen, the time traveler, many rules of Shrek Academy have been changed by Li Luochen. For example, those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre. Li Luochen had a lot of arguments with Flanders at the beginning and changed it to Shrek students not causing trouble but not being afraid of trouble and responding to those who cause trouble with thunder strikes. But then again, what if it was a Titled Douluo who came to cause trouble? Li Luochen added a small sentence: A real man can bend and stretch and can follow his heart when faced with big things.

Well, I give one point to my wit. Li Luochen has lived in Shrek Academy for nine years. Qin Ming and Mo Yu came back to visit him halfway through. Qin Ming finally got rid of the fate of the fifth ring of a thousand years. When Qin Ming came last time, he was already a level 58 Soul King, and when Mo Yu came last time, he was level 56. One of them was 28 and the other was 27 years old. At the beginning, they went out together, and the ten thousand year soul ring was obtained by the two of them together. It is estimated that in less than four years, the two of them will be able to break through to the Soul Emperor level, and in less than fifteen years, they should be able to become Soul Douluo-level strongmen.
