Rebellious Lord of All Realms: Su Chen's Dark Harem

ShrekChapter 18: Shrek Entrance Shocks Everyone, Shadow Training Deepens Feelings

At the end of Saint Spirit Village, a dilapidated wooden house hung a plaque that read ”Shrek Academy,” which felt completely out of place with the legendary ”Monster Academy.” Zhao Wuji puffed on his pipe, squinting as he sized up Su Chen and his group, his tone rough: ”Want to enter Shrek? Pass my test first!”

A smile tugged at the corner of Su Chen’s mouth as his black-gold God-Defying Power fluctuated slightly: ”I wonder how Teacher Zhao intends to test us?”

”Simple, catch three of my punches!” Zhao Wuji’s spirit power surged, his Spirit, the Vigorous Vajra Bear, possessed him. His muscles bulged, and he unleashed a punch toward Su Chen with overwhelming momentum.

Su Chen didn’t dodge or evade; his God-Defying Power condensed into a palm, blocking it lightly. With a ”bang,” Zhao Wuji flew backward, crashing heavily onto the ground, his pipe even flying away. He looked at Su Chen in disbelief: ”You... what kind of power is this?”

”God-Defying Power,” Su Chen said calmly. ”Can we go in now?”

Zhao Wuji swallowed hard and nodded quickly: ”Yes, yes, welcome to Shrek!” Yet, a storm raged in his heart—this kid’s strength was probably even greater than the Dean’s!

After entering the academy, Su Chen’s group was arranged to rest in a wooden house. As soon as she put down her luggage, Zhu Zhuqing took the initiative to find Su Chen: ”You said you would help me improve my Shadow Soul Power, can we start now?” Her eyes were resolute, yet she couldn’t hide a hint of shyness, her black tight-fitting outfit outlining her graceful figure.

”Of course,” Su Chen nodded with a smile and led her to the academy’s training ground. ”The key to Shadow Soul Power lies in concealment and explosive force. You relied too much on speed before, neglecting precise control of your spirit power.”

The other Heroines followed to watch. Karin crossed her arms and whispered to Xiao Wu: ”Sister Zhuqing is hogging Lord Su Chen right after joining, that’s really going too far!”

Xiao Wu blinked and said with a smile: ”Sister Zhuqing just wants to get stronger, Brother Su Chen will treat everyone fairly.”

Hinata, Kushina, and Qing Lin stood to the side, observing intently, ready to provide support for Su Chen at any moment.

Su Chen turned to face Zhu Zhuqing, his tone gentle: ”Relax your body, focus your mind, and try to mobilize your Shadow Soul Power, condensing it at your fingertips.”

Zhu Zhuqing nodded and took a deep breath. Shadow Soul Power condensed at her fingertips, but because her control was unstable, it would scatter and then surge. ”It’s not working, I still can’t control it well...” She felt a bit vexed, the tips of her ears turning red.

”Don’t rush, I’ll teach you.” Su Chen walked slowly behind her, gently gripping her wrists from behind. The God-Defying Power in his palms slowly surged in, helping her organize the chaotic Shadow Soul Power.

Their bodies were pressed extremely close; Su Chen’s chest was almost against her back, and his warm breath brushed against her ear, carrying the faint, clean scent of God-Defying Power. Zhu Zhuqing’s body stiffened instantly, her heart rate accelerated, her cheeks turned completely red, and her Shadow Soul Power nearly collapsed.

”Concentrate.” Su Chen’s voice carried a hint of teasing, his breath making her ear itch. ”Otherwise, I’ll have to punish you.”

”Punish... punish what?” Zhu Zhuqing’s voice trembled, her eyes darting around in panic, yet she couldn’t help but feel the temperature and strength of his palms.

”Punish you by staying with me to cultivate until dawn tonight.” Su Chen chuckled, his fingertips gently stroking her wrists, guiding the Shadow Soul Power to condense into a blade. ”Feel my power, follow my rhythm, and let the Shadow Soul Power resonate with the God-Defying Power.”

Zhu Zhuqing bit her lip, forcing herself to focus. Under Su Chen’s guidance, the Shadow Soul Power gradually stabilized, and a black Shadow Blade condensed at her fingertips, carrying a sharp aura. ”I... I did it!” She shouted in surprise, turning to look at Su Chen, only to collide with his deep, black-gold eyes, causing her cheeks to flush even redder.

”Well done.” Su Chen released her wrists, his tone doting. ”But it’s not enough. Shadow Soul Power must not only be sharp, but also know how to conceal itself. Try to merge your spirit power into the surrounding environment and make yourself invisible.”

Zhu Zhuqing nodded and tried again. This time, with the assistance of the God-Defying Power, her body gradually became transparent, eventually hiding completely in the shadows. ”This is amazing!” Her voice came from the shadows, filled with undisguised excitement.

”Come out.” Su Chen smiled and said, ”Now, try to attack me with Shadow Soul Power, let me see your progress.”

Zhu Zhuqing appeared from the shadows, the Shadow Blade condensed again, and she attacked Su Chen. Her speed was extremely fast, her Shadow Soul Power masking her aura, making it difficult to detect. But Su Chen had long since locked onto her trajectory with his God-Defying Power, easily dodging the attack while simultaneously grabbing her wrist with a backhand, pulling her into his arms.

”Reaction is good, but still not enough.” Su Chen lowered his head, only a few centimeters away from her cheek, his warm breath brushing against her lips. ”The true essence of Shadow Soul Power is to take the opponent by surprise; your attack just now was still too obvious.”

Zhu Zhuqing leaned in his arms, clearly feeling his powerful heartbeat and warm body temperature. Her cheeks were so red they could bleed, and she struggled to push him away: ”Let me go! I haven’t lost yet!”

”Oh?” Su Chen raised an eyebrow, not only not letting go but hugging her tighter. ”What, want to continue challenging me? Or do you want to stay in my arms a little longer?”

”You!” Zhu Zhuqing was both angry and shy, her ears turning bright red, yet she had to admit that the feeling of being held by him was very reassuring, making her rely on him involuntarily.

Karin, not far away, saw this and immediately ran over, hugging Su Chen’s other arm: ”Lord Su Chen, don’t just teach Sister Zhuqing! I want to practice Blood Contract resonance too!”

Xiao Wu also hopped over and hugged Su Chen’s waist: ”Brother Su Chen, I want to practice the Eight Stage Drop too! Keep me company while I practice!”

Hinata, Kushina, and Qing Lin also gathered around, all demanding Su Chen’s guidance in cultivation, and the atmosphere of vying for favor instantly filled the training ground.

Su Chen looked at the chattering girls around him, a doting smile tugging at the corners of his mouth: ”Alright, everyone will have a turn, one by one.” He turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing and pinched her cheek. ”You rest for a while, I’ll teach you the advanced techniques of Shadow Soul Power alone later.”

Zhu Zhuqing’s cheeks were slightly red. She nodded and stepped aside, but couldn’t help watching Su Chen’s figure interacting with the other Heroines, a strange emotion stirring in her heart. She knew that she had completely fallen for the charm of this man, and becoming his Shadow Knight was the most correct decision she had ever made in her life.

Just then, footsteps came from afar; Xiao Ling, Dai Mubai, and others were walking toward the training ground. When Xiao Ling saw Su Chen, a flash of vigilance and jealousy crossed his eyes—he hadn’t expected that Su Chen was not only powerful but also had so many excellent girls around him.

Su Chen sensed Xiao Ling’s gaze, and his black-gold eyes grew a bit colder. He knew that the first direct confrontation with Xiao Ling was about to unfold in this Shrek Academy. And this time, he would make this so-called ”child of destiny” taste the feeling of being crushed!
