Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Two hours later, Lin Mu arrived at Seagod Island with the Demon King.

He has thoroughly mastered the routes to and from Poseidon Island, saving him a considerable amount of time compared to before.

"This is Poseidon Island?"

In mid-air, the Demon King looked down at the island below, his eyes filled with a mixture of solemnity and curiosity.

This is an island protected by the sea god.

Just then, a strange force suddenly pressed down on him, forming an invisible barrier that tried to prevent him from entering Poseidon Island.

"This is the Light of Poseidon?!"

Soon, Lin Mu discovered that the energy blocking the Demon King was the Light of the Sea God, which most likely meant that the Demon King's soul beast identity had been discovered.

"Your Majesty, shall we force our way in?"

As he spoke, the Demon King frowned. Although this pressure was nothing to him, it would be troublesome if he offended the Sea God's majesty.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu did not reply, but simply gazed into the distance without making a sound.

Not long after, Poseidon, dressed in red, flew over from afar. When she saw the King of Ten Thousand Demons, her usually calm expression finally changed.

"Lin Mu, why did you bring him here?"

As Poseidon said this, a hint of anger was clearly in his voice. Bringing a ferocious beast into the island of Poseidon without permission was clearly a desecration of the sea god.

Although this ferocious beast is not as powerful as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, it can still reach the level of a Limit Douluo.

Moreover, Lin Mu's own strength has already reached the level of a demigod, and with this ferocious beast, he is enough to threaten the entire Seagod Island.

“Poseidon, I brought him here only so that he could be the ninth spirit ring for the mistress.”

Lin Mu said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Poseidon was completely dumbfounded.

She considered many possibilities, but this one was the last one she thought of, because it was simply too incredible.

If it were an ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast, she wouldn't be too surprised. After all, Lin Mu's strength was above hers, and capturing a 100,000-year-old soul beast wouldn't be too difficult for him.

But this is a ferocious beast with hundreds of thousands of cultivation points, and its strength is no less than that of a Limit Douluo.

Even if Lin Mu's strength is superior to his, it is impossible for him to capture him alive.

The reality was quite surprising; he had actually succumbed to Lin Mu, and even knowing that he would be sacrificed to Tang San as his ninth spirit ring, he showed no intention of resisting.

"Are you sure Tang San can absorb a spirit ring of such a high age?"

Poseidon changed the subject. Although she couldn't figure out how Lin Mu had done it, absorbing a spirit ring that was over 500,000 years old was simply too risky.

Even she only absorbed a 100,000-year-old divine soul ring when she completed the top-level assessment.

"You don't need to worry about that. Since I've chosen to do this, I naturally have absolute confidence in it," Lin Mu said, leaving no room for argument.

Seeing his certainty, Poseidon, though still doubtful, said nothing more.

Regardless, Tang San is his disciple after all, and he wouldn't joke about his disciple's life. Besides, Tang San's rapid improvement is inseparable from his help.

"In that case, please follow me."

After speaking, Poseidon glanced at the Demon King again, then turned and flew towards the Sea Witch's Holy Pillar.

Seeing this, Lin Mu and the Demon King immediately followed.

Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Lingling, and Ning Rongrong were fighting against the Sea Maiden Douluo, while the others watched from the sea.

Not long ago, Xiao Wu and Dugu Yan defeated Hai Mao Douluo and Hai Xing Douluo respectively.

This was all thanks to Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong's assistance; otherwise, they would have had no chance of passing the test. Soon, Poseidon flew in from afar with Lin Mu and the Demon King. Before anyone could react, the three of them had already landed beside them.

"Master, didn't you leave this morning?"

Tang San was both surprised and delighted to see his master suddenly appear. He had thought his master would be leaving for a while, but he didn't expect him to return so soon.

Not only Tang San, but everyone else looked surprised as well.

"I'm leaving Seagod Island mainly for your ninth spirit ring."

As he spoke, Lin Mu looked at the Demon King beside him. As the most powerful plant-type soul beast, it possessed the ultimate wood attribute, making it undoubtedly the most suitable for the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul.

Following his master's gaze, Tang San also noticed the unfamiliar man he had never seen before.

Although the opponent did not deliberately release their aura, his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul felt slightly suppressed.

Before his Blue Silver Grass evolved into its second form, he often felt suppressed, but this was the first time he had felt suppressed since evolving into the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul.

Could it be that the opponent possesses a more powerful plant-type martial soul?

However, if that's the case, then it has nothing to do with the ninth spirit ring that Master mentioned.

“He is not human, but a soul beast, whose true form is the Demon Eye Tree with 500,000 years of cultivation,” Lin Mu said, making a startling statement.

Upon hearing this, everyone except Poseidon, who already knew the truth, was stunned.

After they came to their senses, they hurriedly hid behind Lin Mu, fearing that the ferocious beast would suddenly attack.

This is no ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast, but a ferocious beast with 500,000 years of cultivation.

In other words, if this ferocious beast had even the slightest malicious intent, it could easily take their lives with a single move, making it impossible for them to remain calm.

Compared to the others, Tang San was relatively calm.

He looked up at Lin Mu in disbelief and asked, "Master, can he really be my ninth spirit ring?"

"I plan to make him your soul spirit, so that your Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul can become stronger."

Lin Mu patted Tang San on the shoulder and smiled slightly.

Upon hearing this, Tang San's eyes lit up. His Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul was already very strong; in terms of Martial Soul strength alone, it was even comparable to the Clear Sky Hammer.

If it goes a step further, it might surpass the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex that evolved from Yu Tianheng.

As the number one weapon spirit in the world, the Clear Sky Hammer is indeed powerful, but in terms of the strength of the spirit alone, it is not unparalleled. Its strength lies in its combination with several ultimate skills.

The Great Sumeru Hammer, in particular, can unleash power far exceeding its own limits.

If his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul advances further and he gathers all nine spirit rings of the Clear Sky Hammer, he might be able to catch up with his master.

"I will never forget my master's kindness!"

As he spoke, Tang San suddenly knelt down on both knees, intending to kowtow to Lin Mu.

Seeing the scene before him, Lin Mu quickly helped him up, and said with a look of relief, "There's no need for such formalities between us, master and disciple."

"Little San, once you fuse with this soul spirit, you'll be able to easily pass the subsequent tests."

Tang San was deeply moved by his master's concern.

But on second thought, this might make the subsequent assessments more difficult.

After all, if they disabled soul bone skills this time, they might disable soul rings and soul bones next time.

Thinking of this, Tang San said earnestly, "Master, could we postpone it until after the sixth test?" (End of this chapter)
