Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo believed Lin Mu's words without a doubt.

Back then, they worked diligently for Bibi Dong, doing all the dirty and tiring jobs, but they didn't even get a single piece of her ten-thousand-year-old soul bone.

Even when Bibi Dong occasionally rewards someone, it's only with some useless gold soul coins.

The treatment they received under Bibi Dong's wing was so poor that they even had to put on a disgusting act of gratitude, forcing them to leave the Spirit Hall.

Only after joining Lin Mu's side did they finally experience what it felt like to be valued.

Before they joined the Wuji Sect, Lin Mu had given them many pills, especially that extremely precious top-grade pill, which helped them break through the bottleneck of level 95 in one fell swoop.

Although there is only one level difference between level 95 and level 96, the gap between them is far greater than before.

Unless one's martial spirit is overwhelmingly superior to their opponent's, or one possesses a 100,000-year soul ring and multiple soul bones, it is almost impossible to defeat someone of a higher level.

Of course, exceptions are prodigies like Lin Mu.

It should be noted that when Lin Mu was over level 80, he had already defeated Bibi Dong and the Demon-Slaying Douluo, as well as several other titled Douluos with considerable strength.

Besides the pills, since they joined the Wuji Sect, Lin Mu has given them important responsibilities, directly appointing them as elders and giving each of them a soul bone.

This soul bone is even a top-grade soul bone that is over 50,000 years old, making it even more precious than the soul bone stolen from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

This shows that Bibi Dong was completely exploiting labor, wanting the horse to run but not feeding it.

Moreover, Bibi Dong not only demands harshness from her subordinates, but also shows no gratitude whatsoever to the Spirit Hall, which has devoted itself to nurturing her; she is a complete ingrate.

Ultimately, this woman was completely self-centered, only thinking about being with Yu Xiaogang, without considering the consequences at all.

Especially after being sanctioned, all that's left on their minds is the destruction of the world.

It's as if the whole world owes her something.

If she were even slightly more sensible and hadn't fallen for the good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang, she wouldn't have ended up like this.

Next, the group discussed matters concerning the sect.

Lin Mu has never been very interested in such matters. He would rather teach students at the Elemental Academy than manage sect affairs.

After about half an hour, Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others finally finished reporting on the sect's situation.

Just then, Ning Fengzhi entered the main hall with Sword Douluo and Ning Rongrong. His demeanor was respectful, his face filled with gratitude, and he solemnly said:

"Your Majesty, we, the Seven Treasures and Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School, will never forget your help in evolving my daughter's martial soul into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda."

Previously, Ning Rongrong's martial soul evolved into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, but Ning Fengzhi did not choose to change the sect's name.

After all, the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda also has its flaws, and it is still unknown whether it can be passed on to future generations.

If the sect's name is changed, but the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul doesn't appear afterward, wouldn't that be a joke?

However, Ning Rongrong's martial soul has now completely transformed into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which means that she will be able to cultivate to the level of Title Douluo in the future.

It would be unreasonable not to change the name now.

Looking at Ning Fengzhi below, Lin Mu smiled calmly and said, "Hehe, there's no need for such nonsense. I never intended to take advantage of your kindness, and besides, you can't repay me anyway."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi was speechless, and even the Sword Douluo standing to the side felt a little embarrassed.

They all knew very well that Lin Mu lacked nothing.

In terms of strength, Lin Mu had already crushed Sword Douluo a few years ago, and now he is probably stronger than anyone else.

As for the money, putting aside the fact that it would be of little use to Lin Mu, the value of a pill that can help a martial soul evolve is immeasurable. It's likely that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School would have to offer its entire fortune to equal this single pill.

Moreover, besides this extremely precious pill, Ning Rongrong also cultivated from Soul King to Soul Douluo in just two and a half years, making this favor even harder to repay.

After a moment, Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, no matter what, we will always remember this kindness."

"you sure?"

Lin Mu suddenly changed the subject, looking at the tall and imposing Sword Douluo, and suggested, "How about this, Senior Sword Douluo, let's spar a bit, and that will settle the score."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi was immediately stunned.

He had considered various ways to repay her, and even planned to give the girls he had taken in to Lin Mu, but he never expected that Lin Mu would make such a request.

After regaining his senses, Ning Fengzhi looked at Sword Douluo to the side and asked, "Uncle Sword, what do you think?"

"It is my honor to be able to fight against a powerhouse like Sect Master Lin."

Despite this, Sword Douluo's expression gradually became serious. He was well aware that there was a considerable gap between his strength and Lin Mu's.

If Lin Mu uses his full strength, he probably won't last more than a few rounds.

However, Lin Mu probably wouldn't do that, since it would be pointless.

"I never expected that the Sword Douluo, who is always so proud, would also flatter someone."

Lin Mu looked down at the Sword Douluo below and chuckled, making a teasing remark.

Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo's face immediately turned red.

As the saying goes, when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

Now that Lin Mu's strength far surpasses his own, and he may even reach the legendary realm in the future, how could he possibly be as arrogant as before?

"To be fair, Ning Rongrong can fully assist you."

After a moment's hesitation, Lin Mu tapped the armrest of his seat with his knuckles and added, "I won't use spirit rings or spirit bones. As long as you can hold on for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, that's fine."

Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo thought he had misheard and looked at Lin Mu with disbelief.

It is undeniable that Lin Mu is indeed very strong, but saying that is to underestimate him.

He was, after all, a level 97 Title Douluo, and possessed the Seven Kill Sword, the number one offensive weapon spirit in the world. With Ning Rongrong's assistance, his strength was even above that of the level 98 Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Even if Lin Mu's cultivation level is as high as 99, it is impossible for him to defeat him with just his martial spirit.

"Sect Master Lin, why don't you suppress your soul power to level 98, while using your soul rings and soul bones as usual? That would make for a fair fight."

Sword Douluo offered his suggestion.

However, before Lin Mu could respond, Ning Rongrong burst out laughing and immediately explained, "Grandpa Sword, if Teacher Lin Mu were to use his spirit rings, you would definitely be no match for him."

Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo's first reaction was disbelief, but upon further reflection, he realized that Lin Mu's strength could not be judged by ordinary standards.

After all, Lin Mu taking on challenges beyond his level was as commonplace as drinking water.

Generally speaking, once one's cultivation reaches level 95, it is extremely difficult to surpass one level in soul power, but this is not a problem for Lin Mu.

Moreover, Ning Rongrong wouldn't speak without reason; she most likely knows Lin Mu's true strength.

Thinking of this, Sword Douluo couldn't help but sigh. He had diligently cultivated the sword path for many years, yet Lin Mu had left him far behind. (End of Chapter)
