Douluo: Steadily Becoming Stronger in Shrek

Chapter 190 The clouds are gathering
Wang Dong'er and Bei Bei looked at Lin Chen at the same time, their eyes revealing a little nervousness. They also didn't want anything to happen to the people in the academy.

Lin Chen said calmly: "There is nothing to prepare. I can go on stage alone tomorrow."

Huo Yuhao said with some concern: “Are you okay on your own? All the people in the Holy Spirit Sect are evil soul masters!”

"Yes, Lin Chen, can you really defeat so many evil soul masters by yourself?" Wang Dong'er also agreed.

"Oh, it's no big deal, just a bunch of idiots."

Wang Qiuer said: "Tomorrow, I will go with you."

"no, I'm fine……"

"Lin Chen, let Qiu'er go with you. She is also very strong, and it will give you more confidence if she goes with you." Wang Dong'er said.

Lin Chen waved his hand and said, "I am enough alone. The younger generation of the Holy Spirit Church cannot pose a threat to me, unless those old guys do not follow martial ethics."

"I'll go with you." Wang Qiuer said again.

Lin Chen was at a loss. Why was this girl so stubborn?
“Lin Chen, don’t argue with Qiu’er. You can see her character. She will definitely take the field,” Huo Yuhao said.

"Well, okay." After sighing, Lin Chen had no choice but to agree.

"We came here this time to tell you what we have noticed. What Princess Jiujiu said may not be all that they have discovered. As far as we know, Mingdu is indeed blocked at present. The Sun-Moon Empire dispatched several soul engineer corps to form a defense line, and they are all manned by high-level soul engineers. All the teams that left before should have been controlled by them. However, what is strange is that they did not surround Mingdu on all four sides, but surrounded three sides and left one side, leaving the west side empty, which is the farthest direction from where we can return to the academy." Lin Chen said.

The news Lin Chen brought was very important to Huo Yuhao and the others. Shrek Academy and Tang Sect were one and the same in a sense, so he obviously did not hold back and told them all the information he had found out.

But he couldn't possibly say that there was a Qiankun Wenqing Valley in the west, which was used by the God King Tang to train dogs, right?
Huo Yuhao immediately took out a map of Mingdu and looked at the terrain around Mingdu. The map was bought when they participated in the exchange study.

After looking at the map, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but frown. "Surround three and leave one. From the perspective of military strategy, this is to prevent the enemy from fighting desperately and deliberately leave a gap. But, logically speaking, the Sun-Moon Empire doesn't need to do this at all! Their goal should be to catch us all in one fell swoop, so how could they leave a way out? Moreover, the mountainous area has a complex terrain and is most suitable for hiding and evading. It is much more difficult to seal the mountains than to deploy on the plains."

"The Sun and Moon Mountains are right next to Mingdu. It's definitely not a place where soul beasts live. It should be an ordinary mountain range." Beibei analyzed.

Several people couldn't help but reveal doubts in their eyes.

"We have thought of all these questions. At present, the most likely scenario is that the Sun-Moon Empire knows that the academy and the Body Sect are powerful together, so they deliberately left us a way out, but forced us to take a long detour to return, which serves as a delay. As for why they delayed, we don't know. After all, the total number of Titled Douluo from our academy, the Body Sect, and the Star Luo Empire is more than ten. If the Sun-Moon Empire wants to keep us here, it will have to pay a huge price. This is something they may not be able to afford. The capture of members of other teams is also a big blow to the three countries that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent." Wang Qiuer said. “No, it won’t be that simple. Think about it, although we have to take a detour if we go from the west, how far can we go? Not to mention the Titled Douluo level powerhouses, even we can make up the distance in a short time with the help of flying soul guides. And if the Sun-Moon Empire wants to take action, it is impossible for them to do anything in just a few hours. If they can succeed, it will not be something we can influence.” Huo Yuhao shook his head suddenly. He would never think that the Sun-Moon Empire would give them a way out.

At this point, he felt as if he had grasped something: "If we were to consider from the perspective of the Sun-Moon Empire, and really wanted to deal with all the contestants of this competition, what would we do? Would we just arrest some players from other academies and let the strongest ones go?"

Then he turned to look at the silent Lin Chen and asked, "Lin Chen, what would you do?"

He always felt that there was some kind of magic in Lin Chen, as if everything was under his control.

Lin Chen said calmly: "Either don't do it, or do it completely."

Hearing Lin Chen's words, several people couldn't help but change their expressions.

From this perspective, there is a high possibility that there is a problem to the west of Mingdu.

"I agree with Lin Chen. I would rather let those small fish and shrimps go, and I must keep the strong men from Shrek Academy and Body Sect. After all, neither the academy nor the Body Sect can send out all their forces. This makes the strength dispersed. The combat effectiveness of the ten Titled Douluo is indeed strong, but this is the Sun Moon Empire. They have the cooperation of the Holy Spirit Church, a powerful evil soul master sect, plus the ninth-level soul master. Together, they are still enough to threaten us." Beibei said.

"Lin Chen is right. If we can keep all of us, including the Titled Douluo from all sides, it will be a real fatal blow to all the forces! If I were Xu Tianran, I would spare no effort to do this, and try to keep all the Titled Douluo as much as possible."

"It seems that this west is most likely a road to certain death. The Sun-Moon Empire is creating the illusion of 'giving us a way out', and then encircling and suppressing us and annihilating us all."

"This is just your guess. We sent people to investigate the Sun-Moon Mountains, and there is no problem. Although there are a small number of Sun-Moon Empire troops stationed there, they certainly do not pose a threat to us. Are you too nervous?" Wang Qiuer frowned and said.

To be honest, he didn't expect Lin Chen to agree with Huo Yuhao and the others.

The people from the Tang Sect still had frowns on their faces.

After a while, Huo Yuhao asked, "Lin Chen, who is coming to the academy this time?"

"Master Xuan, as well as the other four elders from the Sea God Pavilion and the Head of the Soul Guidance Department, Xian Lin'er, are here too. There are a total of six Titled Douluo, including Master Xuan, and four of them are Super Douluo."

Wang Qiuer continued, "The reason why we speculate that the west is the way out that the Sun-Moon Empire deliberately left for us is because Elder Xuan once personally checked it out. He even inspected the entire mountain range from the air before coming to this conclusion. I guess your speculation is not valid."
