Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 31 Qian Renxue, subjected to emotional abuse
Faced with Xue Qinghe's request, a strange light flashed in Lin Mu's eyes as he secretly analyzed the pros and cons.

As a noble academy, the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is not even qualified for ordinary people to enter. Having the status of a senior teacher can indeed save him a lot of trouble.

Since I have nothing better to do, I might as well take on a nominal position.

Of course, this is not without its downsides. If he agrees to Xue Qinghe's request, he will inevitably be labeled as part of the Crown Prince's faction.

This means he sided with the Heavenly Dou Empire.

However, Lin Mu knew very well that this "Xue Qinghe" was not the real Xue Qinghe, but Qian Renxue in disguise.

That's why, even if he stands on the side of the Heaven Dou Empire, he doesn't need to worry about the Spirit Hall causing trouble in the shadows.

After making up his mind, Lin Mu immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute to Xue Qinghe and said, "I am fortunate that Your Highness values ​​me so much, then I will accept it without being disrespectful. However, I have always been unrestrained and do not like the rules and regulations in the academy."

"This is a minor issue. It is already a great honor that someone as talented as you is willing to serve as a teacher at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Qinghe will take care of these trivial matters."

Xue Qinghe smiled slightly, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, things went so smoothly, but that was far from enough. She needed to firmly grasp a man who was even more outstanding than her.

"It is truly a great fortune that Your Excellency has agreed to this matter. To be honest, I felt an extraordinary sense of kinship with you when I first met you today. We are of similar age, so why don't we address each other as brothers?"

Xue Qinghe looked at Lin Mu with an earnest expression, her tone conveying a sense of heartfelt sincerity.

Seeing this, Lin Mu frowned slightly. Even if this woman wanted to win him over, there was no need for her to be in such a hurry.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I am just a commoner and I really dare not address Your Highness as a brother."

Lin Mu cupped his hands in a gesture of polite refusal.

Upon hearing this answer, Xue Qinghe remained unperturbed and smiled, saying, "With Brother Lin's talent, I believe Father Emperor will be willing to grant him a title, so there won't be any problem."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu's gaze sharpened. This woman appeared friendly on the surface, but in reality, she was extremely domineering and left no room for compromise.

"Thank you again for your kindness, Your Highness, but I am a very timid person and I am afraid of trouble. I would like to avoid such trouble."

Lin Mu waved his hand, refusing again.

Lin Mu had no interest in being promoted to a noble title. After all, a title as insignificant as a sesame seed was useless, and he would only be suppressed by others for no reason.

Upon being rejected time and again, a cold glint flashed deep in Xue Qinghe's eyes, but on the surface, his smile remained unchanged as he said gently:

"It's alright. Everyone has their own ambitions. It's not too late for Brother Lin to obtain the title when he has made up his mind."

Even though Lin Mu did not agree, Xue Qinghe did not change his mind.

Lin Mu was indifferent to this. There was no big problem with being on friendly terms with women, since he wasn't the one who would suffer.

"Your Highness, it's getting late, so I'll take my leave now."

Lin Mu stood up and said that rather than pretending to be friendly with Xue Qinghe, he would rather go back to cultivate.

"Brother Lin, let me see you off."

"No need, I know the way."

Lin Mu gave a simple and blunt refusal.

Xue Qinghe's smile froze upon being rejected again, and a rare hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes. Did this guy not understand etiquette and politeness at all?

Watching Lin Mu's departing figure, Xue Qinghe's smile gradually faded, and her eyes flashed with a mixture of curiosity and coldness.

At first, she didn't believe what Tang Yuehua said. How could there be a Soul Saint in his early twenties in this world?

Now the facts are clear: this guy's talent is indeed superior to hers. The only thing that troubles her is that he seems uninterested in power and status; while outwardly respectful, he actually gives her a feeling of passive-aggressive behavior.

Aside from agreeing to serve as a senior teacher, none of his other requests were granted.

However, the more this happened, the more it fueled her competitive spirit.

Everyone has needs, so since titles don't work, let's try sending a beautiful woman next time.

Under Xue Qinghe's arrangement, Tang San and Xiao Wu's enrollment in school has been basically finalized, and they only need to pass the final soul power test.

Early that morning, Lin Mu took Tang San and Xiao Wu to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

As soon as the three arrived at the school gate, a middle-aged teacher came up to them, clearly arranged by Xue Qinghe.

The middle-aged teacher led the three to a classroom, then took out a testing crystal and said:
"This is a level 40 test crystal. You will all test your level, and then you can register for enrollment."

"I'll come first!"

Xiao Wu stepped forward first, placed her hand on the testing crystal ball, and then injected her soul power into it. The crystal ball immediately lit up with a dazzling light.

"Level 31!"

Sun Buyu's eyes were filled with astonishment. A Soul Master at the age of twelve—even in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, no one could achieve that.

No wonder His Highness the Crown Prince values ​​him so highly; he is indeed an extremely rare genius.

Taking a deep breath, Sun Buyu barely suppressed the shock in his heart and took out paper and pen to write down: "Xiao Wu, twelve years old, martial soul soft bone rabbit, level thirty-one strong attack type battle soul master."

After the test, Xiao Wu skipped back to Tang San's side, her face beaming with pride.

Upon seeing this, a strange glint flashed in Lin Mu's eyes.

If Xiao Wu hadn't been so playful and mischievous, her cultivation level would definitely have been much higher than level thirty-one.

As for her third spirit ring, she secretly condensed it before leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, using the excuse that she encountered a severely injured Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit.

Lin Mu turned a blind eye to this.

Then it was Tang San's turn. He stepped forward and calmly placed his hand on the crystal ball.

The next moment, the testing crystal ball burst forth with a dazzling light, even stronger than when Xiao Wu was testing.

"Level 34?"

Sun Buyu's pupils dilated, and his brain completely shut down. Reaching level 31 at the age of twelve was still within his grasp, but level 34 was completely beyond his comprehension.

From the time his martial soul awakened until now, he has only been cultivating for six years, which is equivalent to increasing his soul power by four levels every year, which is simply mind-blowing.

"No, his martial soul seems to be Blue Silver Grass."

Sun Buyu glanced at the registration information and, after confirming several times that it was the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, was completely bewildered.

Isn't Blue Silver Grass a universally acknowledged useless martial soul?

But this Tang Sanfen is clearly a prodigy; even those geniuses with top-tier martial souls are far inferior to him.

In fact, most Soul Masters have fallen into a misconception that the strength of their Martial Soul represents the level of their talent.

In reality, innate soul power determines the level of talent, while martial soul only represents the strength of one's physical abilities.

However, because martial spirits influence innate soul power to a certain extent, people generally believe that the stronger the martial spirit, the stronger the talent, and the weaker the martial spirit, the weaker the talent.
