Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

After returning to Tiandou City, Lin Mu entered the palace alone.

Where have you been all this time?

Inside the palace, Qian Renxue leaned against Lin Mu's chest and asked softly.

"I helped Xiao San hunt for a soul ring; his eighth trial as the Sea God is almost complete," Lin Mu replied truthfully.

With Tang San successfully fusing with the 100,000-year-old mantis shrimp, his soul power increased significantly again, reaching more than half of level 98.

With Lin Mu's help, Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer spirit was only missing one spirit ring.

Moreover, the existing eight spirit rings all come from top-tier power-type spirit beasts. Apart from the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, the other spirit beasts are all 100,000-year spirit beasts.

In particular, the 100,000-year-old mantis shrimp has a soul ring that is extremely suitable for the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, and its two attached soul skills both possess overwhelming power.

In addition, the 100,000-year-old mantis shrimp, as a spirit, can also deal with enemies on its own.

In terms of strength and attack power alone, even the King of Ten Thousand Demons cannot compare.

Although the Clear Sky Hammer's spirit ring configuration is two black and six red, once Tang San completes the Nine Trials of the Sea God, the age of all spirit rings will be increased by 50,000 years, at which point the Clear Sky Hammer will become an all-red configuration.

However, since Xiao Wu did not sacrifice herself, Tang San did not remove the first four spirit rings of the Blue Silver Emperor, so the Blue Silver Emperor could not achieve a fully red configuration.

Fortunately, the spirit rings Lin Mu chose for Tang San were all extremely suitable, so there was no need to use the Trident of the Sea God to forcibly remove them.

After a moment, Lin Mu glanced at Qian Renxue and noticed that her soul power had broken through to level ninety-nine. He immediately asked, "You passed the eighth test?"

“That’s right, just a few days ago,” Qian Renxue said casually.

"So fast?!"

Lin Mu's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. He had thought that Qian Renxue would need at least another year to pass the eighth test, but he hadn't expected it to go so smoothly.

But then I thought about it again, and realized that Qian Renxue was the fastest inheritor to become a god.

Moreover, with his help, Qian Renxue's cultivation level was much higher than in the original story, so it was reasonable for her to complete the divine test two or three years ahead of schedule.

"If you don't finish the divine test soon, I'll beat you to it."

As she said this, Qian Renxue's eyes held a hint of provocation. After being suppressed by Lin Mu for so many years, she finally had a chance to turn the tables.

As long as she completes the divine test first, she doesn't believe Lin Mu can still outdo her.

Although Lin Mu's challenge of opponents of higher levels has become the norm, the gap between gods and mortals is far beyond what was once considered a level; it is an almost insurmountable chasm.

"Heh, even if you really pass the divine test, I can still control you."

Lin Mu lifted Qian Renxue's chin, staring intently into her eyes, his tone filled with absolute confidence.

Even if Qian Renxue becomes a god first, he is confident that he can subdue her.

After all, he had already condensed four soul cores, and his strength had surpassed the scope of a soul master. With the amplification from Thunder Yatalis, his strength was comparable to that of a god.

Even if Qian Renxue completes the Angel God Trial, her strength will only be considered as having just entered the God level, and she will not be able to unleash the power of a veteran first-level god.

In addition, Lin Mu is preparing to condense his fifth soul core.

Once he successfully condenses his fifth soul core, his strength will increase significantly, making him absolutely capable of crushing ordinary god-level beings.

As for completing all the tests of the God of Destruction, it will probably take quite some time.

After all, if he wanted to complete the God of Destruction test, he had to help Ye Lingling complete the God of Life test first. Only when the God of Life passed on his divine position to Ye Lingling could he successfully inherit the God of Destruction position.

"Hmph, once I become a god, I will conquer you immediately."

As she spoke, Qian Renxue's eyes gleamed with a burning light, as if she had been anticipating this day for a long time. Having been ravaged by Lin Mu so many times, she longed to turn the tables and become the master of her own destiny.

Moreover, Lin Mu had previously attacked her dark side, and she could only watch helplessly.

Although she had passed the eighth test, she still felt a little dissatisfied.

Seeing her like this, Lin Mu sneered, suppressed Qian Renxue under him without saying a word, and began to work hard.

In no time, Qian Renxue's arrogance vanished.

The following day, Qian Renxue left the Heaven Dou Empire and returned to Wuhun City to undergo the ninth trial of the Angel God.

Lin Mu was not idle either; he began to help Ye Lingling complete the Trial of Life.

More than half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Ye Lingling completed the third to fifth trials of the God of Life. The newly opened sixth trial required her to acquire all the soul bones and break through to level ninety-seven with her soul power.

In comparison, the content of this sixth test is not difficult, after all, Ye Lingling only lacks two soul bones.

Although a number of 100,000-year-old soul bones were left over from helping Tang San hunt for soul rings and soul spirits, they were all strength-attribute soul bones and were not suitable for Ye Lingling.

Since Ye Lingling has already collected nine soul rings, she can no longer subdue other jade swans as soul spirits.

Another key reason is that her Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul has transformed into the ultimate life attribute, and she also has Bi Ji, the strongest healing-type Soul Spirit.

Besides, she already possesses an external soul bone and the right arm soul bone of Brigitte, so there is no need for her to absorb a life-attribute soul bone.

Therefore, the remaining two soul bones should ideally be geared towards elemental or control aspects.

After some consideration, Lin Mu decided to go to the far north.

Besides helping Ye Lingling find a suitable soul bone, he also lacks two soul spirits, and Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer martial soul is also missing a soul ring.

After making up his mind, Lin Mu immediately took Tang San and Ye Lingling to the far north.

After traveling for some time, the three finally arrived at the outskirts of the far north, their first time here.

Because the number and overall strength of the soul beasts in the far north are far inferior to those in the Star Dou Great Forest, Lin Mu had not previously set his sights on the far north.

However, he had already plundered the Star Dou Great Forest, the Sun and Moon Continent, and the ocean.

Although there is a high probability that some 100,000-year-old soul beasts are still hidden in the deep sea, searching blindly is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it may take several months to find a suitable 100,000-year-old soul beast.

That's why Lin Mu had no choice but to target the Three Kings of the Far North.

Soon, the three arrived at the core area of ​​the far north, where snow falls all year round, and apart from the snow-covered glaciers, there is not a single living creature in sight.

The sky was a deep, icy blue, and the air was filled with a rich, icy atmosphere, as if it could freeze the entire space.

Looking at the desolate, icy world before him, Tang San looked at Lin Mu with a puzzled expression and asked, "Master, are there really any living beings that can survive here?"

"Of course, for ice-attribute beings, especially those with extreme ice attributes, this place is simply paradise."

Lin Mu said calmly.

As for the extreme cold here, he was hardly affected, since ice is also a type of water element.

Upon hearing this, Tang San's face showed an expression of disbelief.

The temperature here was unbearable even for him; it was astonishing that living beings could survive here. (End of Chapter)
