Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

"You dare to steal the soul rings and soul bones of our 100,000-year-old soul beasts? Do you even have the nerve to say that?"

Xiao Bai put her hands on her hips and glared at Lin Mu with a dissatisfied look.

As the Queen of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, she could not tolerate Soul Masters killing large numbers of Soul Beasts, let alone 100,000-year-old Soul Beasts.

Who knows when this guy might turn his attention to her?

"It's only natural for Soul Masters to hunt Soul Beasts. Even if we take a step back and say that, doesn't your Demon Soul Great White Shark clan have any natural enemies? Haven't you ever preyed on other Soul Beasts?"

Lin Mu remained unfazed by Xiao Bai's nitpicking, even somewhat speechless.

In his view, although these 100,000-year-old soul beasts had lived through a long period of time, their minds had not improved at all.

"We did it to survive, unlike you."

After a pause, Xiaobai raised her chin and said righteously, "Anyway, it's wrong for you to hunt soul beasts!"

"Is that so? The Sea God was a Soul Master before. Did he never absorb a Soul Bone?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai was stunned. How could she dare to question such a great being as the Sea God?

However, she quickly realized that this guy was clearly setting a trap for her.

"The Sea God is the master of this ocean. How dare you desecrate him? It is an honor for those soul beasts to become the Sea God's soul rings and soul bones."

As she said this, Xiaobai puffed out her chest proudly, as if she were proud of it.

Seeing this, Lin Mu's lips curled into a meaningful smile.

Soul beasts are ultimately just soul beasts; they can never truly rise up and take control, since the possibility of them being tamed is far too great.

As long as the Soul Master is strong enough, most Soul Beasts will willingly submit.

"I won't blaspheme the Sea God. But surely I can blaspheme you? We happen to not have enough 100,000-year-old soul bones to go around, so how about you give me your soul bone?"

As he spoke, Lin Mu suddenly took a few steps forward, his fiery gaze fixed on the prey.

Looking at the demon-like figure before him, even the bravest Xiaobai was terrified and staggered back a few steps.

Although I don't know this person's strength, since he can kill these 100,000-year-old soul beasts, he can definitely deal with her too.

"This is Poseidon Island. Aren't you afraid of angering the Sea God if you lay a hand on me?"

As he spoke, Xiao Bai changed from his previous arrogant demeanor to a timid and hesitant one, as if he had encountered his natural enemy.

Lin Mu scoffed at this, saying indifferently, "Why don't you try and see if the Sea God you speak of will come to your rescue?"

Upon hearing this suggestion, Xiaobai swallowed hard.

It seems this great demon king has no intention of letting her go. I should have known better than to join in the fun.

Don't think I'm afraid of you.

Xiaobai stiffened her neck and tried to appear calm, but her trembling voice betrayed her.

Seeing this, Lin Mu's eyes flashed slightly, and then nine spirit rings rose up, a configuration of one black, seven red and one gold spirit rings that was incredibly shocking.

In an instant, the crimson light became exceptionally dazzling in the darkness.

"Seven hundred-thousand-year soul rings!"

Seeing such an exaggerated soul ring configuration, Xiaobai was completely dumbfounded.

How could this be a configuration that a Soul Master could possess? Even the Sea God tens of thousands of years ago never had such a terrifying Soul Ring configuration.

There are only two possibilities left now.

Either this person possesses twin martial souls, or they have received divine inheritance.

Either way, she's in deep trouble. This person might be someone even the Grand Elder couldn't handle; he's not someone she can afford to mess with.

"Don't say I'm bullying you. Pick anyone you like as your opponent," Lin Muyun said casually. "What?"

Xiao Bai was completely bewildered, not understanding what he meant at all, as there were no other helpers nearby.

As for Yu Tianheng and the others, they were simply no match for her.

However, Lin Mu did not give her time to react, summoning all seven soul spirits at once.

In an instant, the spirits of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, Zi Ji, and the Azure Bull Python appeared on both sides of him, each possessing the strength of a 100,000-year-old spirit beast.

The simultaneous appearance of so many 100,000-year-old soul beasts created an immense sense of oppression.

"How is this possible!"

Seeing so many soul beasts that were hundreds of thousands or even millions of years old at once, Xiao Bai's brain completely shut down, and he felt a fear that went straight to the depths of his soul.

Meanwhile, Yu Tianheng and the others, who were not far away, were equally shocked.

Although they knew Lin Mu was strong, they didn't know just how strong he was; now they could clearly feel it.

Absolutely invincible in this era!
A few minutes later, Xiaobai finally came to his senses and muttered to himself, "These are soul beasts? No, they don't have bodies. Could they be in a soul state?"

Under the intimidation of the seven spirits, she had lost the last thought of resistance.

Not to mention her, even the Grand Elder and the Seven Holy Pillars Guardians would not be able to deal with so many 100,000-year-old soul beasts, two of which are close to a million years old.

Suddenly, a figure teleported over and blocked Xiaobai's path.

The newcomer was Xiao Wu. She shielded Xiao Bai with her body and said with slight displeasure, "Teacher Lin Mu, please stop scaring Xiao Bai."

After spending half a year together, she and Xiaobai had a fairly good relationship.

Seeing this, Lin Mu remained calm, showing no surprise at the relationship between the two.

After all, being fellow 100,000-year-old soul beasts makes it easier to build a closer relationship.

At this moment, the miniature version of the Azure Bull Python flew to Xiao Wu's side and greeted her, "Sister Xiao Wu, it's been a long time."

"Da Ming, how have you been lately?"

As she spoke, Xiao Wu reached out and touched the head of the Azure Bull Python.

This chibi version of the Azure Bull Python is clearly much cuter.

The Azure Bull Python did not resist at all, but instead answered earnestly, "Our master treats us very well and lets us out every day."

Initially, it became Lin Mu's soul only so that it could enter the realm of gods and allow Lin Mu to revive Er Ming.

But after considering it for the past few years, it felt that becoming Lin Mu's spirit was not a bad deal at all.

After all, even a million-year-old soul beast like the Deep Sea Demon Whale King would love to bring its family along, so for an ordinary hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast like it to be able to occupy a spot is pure luck.

"Owner?"

Hearing this address, Xiao Wu felt a little unhappy.

Daming was, after all, her younger brother who had lived with her for many years. Suddenly having another master made her feel that something was strange.

Seeing that their relationship was unusual, a hint of doubt flashed in Xiaobai's eyes, and she asked, "Xiaowu, is it your younger brother? How could it be like this?"

"This is called a spirit, which, simply put, is a way for a spirit master and a spirit beast to coexist."

Xiao Wu intended to give a profound explanation, but she found that she didn't understand the principles of spirits either, so she just gave a perfunctory answer.

Upon hearing this explanation, Xiaobai gave an awkward smile.

Clearly, she misunderstood Lin Mu. Compared to other Soul Masters' methods of obtaining Soul Rings and Soul Bones, Lin Mu's method was obviously more advantageous to Soul Beasts. (End of Chapter)
