Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 73 Ning Rongrong Calls for Help
"Zhu Zhuqing, starting today, you will train with them and participate in at least two Soul Battles every day. As for team Soul Battles, we will not consider them for now."

Lin Mu looked at Zhu Zhuqing, whose soul power was only level 28, which was quite different from the others.

Nowadays, the Royal Fighting Team's opponents are all Soul Master level teams. With such a huge difference in soul power, Great Soul Masters are completely useless.

"Okay," Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly.

Immediately, Lin Mu took out a jade bottle from his storage bracelet and tossed it to Zhu Zhuqing.

"This is the treatment provided by the Royal Fighting Team. Each person receives a bottle of pills, and you are no exception. It's best to take them after training, as the cultivation effect will be better."

Lin Mu explained simply.

With Zhu Zhuqing's talent, she could only cultivate to around level 33 at most in the Soul Master Competition.

With the help of elixirs, he should be able to cultivate to around level 35, which would be enough to be a substitute.

Looking at the jade bottle in her hand, a strange light flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes. She couldn't help but feel glad she had made her decision, and said softly, "Thank you, Teacher Lin Mu."

Immediately, Lin Mu turned to look at the others.

"I've already arranged a team battle with the person in charge of the Grand Soul Arena. Our opponents are a team with an all-Soul Master lineup, and their strength shouldn't be underestimated. Here's their information."

After saying that, Lin Mu took out the enemy team's information files and handed them all to Tang San and Yu Tianheng, while he himself became a hands-off manager.

As the team leader, he only needs to consider the lineup selection and battle plan; it's more appropriate to leave the rest to Tang San and Yu Tianheng.

"Teacher Lin Mu, can I participate in this team battle?"

Dugu Yan stepped forward and asked.

In the past month, she has participated in very few team battles, even fewer than Yu Feng and Oslo.

Lin Mu would only let her play if the opposing team was very weak.

"No," Lin Mu said without hesitation.

In his eyes, Dugu Yan was Tang San's substitute, and was completely outclassed by Tang San in every aspect.

Unless the opposing team is very weak, or when the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom is needed, it is not necessary to let Dugu Yan go on the field. The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom, combined with Tang San's fourth soul skill, can play a role in controlling the entire field.

Tang San's fourth soul skill, Blue Silver Pill, can remove all negative effects, including poisons.

Only under these circumstances can you avoid worrying about the venom of the blue-phosphorus snake accidentally injuring your teammates.

In addition, Yu Feng's third soul skill, "Rising Wind and Surging Clouds," allows the Azure Phosphorus Serpent Venom to sweep across the entire arena, leaving the opposing players with no way to avoid it, thus forming an almost perfect combo.

"That's fine."

Dugu Yan was somewhat disappointed, but dared not disobey Lin Mu's arrangements.

Seeing this, Yu Tianheng quickly walked to her side, gently held her small hand, and said softly, "Yanzi, after the team battle is over, I will take you to participate in the two-person battle."

Spurred on by Tang San, he completely transformed into a cultivation fanatic.

Aside from cultivating and participating in Soul Battles, he has no time for dating.

In his eyes, being able to participate in the two-player battle together was already considered a romantic relationship.

Hearing these somewhat strange words, Dugu Yan still nodded in agreement.

In fact, she could guess Lin Mu's intentions, but she couldn't find any way to refute them, either publicly or privately.

After all, the facts are clear: Tang San is not only better at controlling his opponent than she is, but he also possesses both offensive and supportive abilities. Furthermore, his tactical planning is superior to both hers and Yu Tianheng's.

Next, Lin Mu began to arrange the team's fighting spirit.

Meanwhile, Flander and the others were on their way back to Shrek Academy.

Seeing that Ning Rongrong seemed distracted, Oscar cautiously approached her and said ingratiatingly, "Rongrong, how about I go shopping with you?"

"do not bother me!"

Ning Rongrong replied rather stiffly, then turned and left the group, walking in another direction.

Everyone was used to her capriciousness. Flander and the others didn't pay any attention, but Oscar looked dejected and felt utterly exhausted.

After parting ways with the others, Ning Rongrong walked alone on the bustling street.

"Damn it, how dare they underestimate my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

Ning Rongrong bit her lower lip tightly, her delicate little fists clenched. The more humiliated she felt, the more she wanted to prove the power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to Lin Mu.

Just then, a flippant voice came from ahead.

"Hey little sister, what are you doing here all alone? Are you lost? How about I take you home?"

Ning Rongrong snapped out of her daze, frowned, and saw a middle-aged man dressed in flashy clothes with a lewd look in his eyes walking towards her, his gaze filled with ill intent.

Looking at the exquisitely beautiful and richly dressed young girl before him, Bu Le's lewd light intensified.

Even though he had been in the mainland for many years, he had rarely seen such a beautiful girl. He never expected to find one today. He really hit the jackpot.

"Go away!"

Seeing that such a scoundrel dared to provoke her, Ning Rongrong's temper immediately flared up, and she coldly rebuked him.

"Hehe, she's got quite a proud temper, I like that."

Bu Le chuckled and quickened his pace, emanating the soul power fluctuations befitting a Soul Master.

Ning Rongrong turned pale when facing a Soul Master of level 40 or higher.

At this critical moment, a figure appeared in front of Ning Rongrong like a ghost, so fast that only a blur remained.

Immediately following, a dull thud and a piercing scream rang out almost simultaneously.

Caught completely off guard, Bu Le was struck hard and sent flying backward, crashing heavily into a wall in the distance. He passed out without even uttering a sound.

Ning Rong was still in shock when she looked closely and saw a middle-aged man dressed in a gray outfit kneeling in front of her.

"Miss, are you okay?"

Upon hearing this title, Ning Rongrong was taken aback, but quickly realized that it must be a bodyguard secretly sent by her father to protect her.

After thinking it through, she was immediately furious and questioned, "Why didn't you make a move in the Great Soul Arena just now?"

She was so humiliated by Lin Mu, and this guy just stood by and did nothing!

The middle-aged man in gray showed a hint of embarrassment and said in a low voice, "Miss, I am no match for him at all. If I make a move rashly, I may anger him and put you in an even more dangerous situation."

"Then what use are you to me!"

Ning Rongrong stomped her feet in anger, her chest heaving violently.

Although she knew Lin Mu was very strong, even a Title Douluo was no match for him, she was still inexplicably angry.

Simply put, it's just impotent rage.

Suddenly, a sly glint flashed in her eyes, and an idea popped into her head.

“Go back and tell my dad that,” she cleared her throat, her tone becoming both aggrieved and angry, “that Lin Mu bullied me and doesn’t want to take responsibility.”

However, the middle-aged man in gray shook his head repeatedly and hurriedly said, "Young Miss, the sect leader instructed that my primary task is to protect your safety and I am not allowed to leave without permission."

"If you don't go back, I'll tell Grandpa Sword that you just watched me get bullied. Then let's see if you can withstand a sword strike from Grandpa Sword!"

Ning Rongrong snorted coldly, put her hands on her hips, and said fiercely.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man in gray turned deathly pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Given Sword Douluo's unconditional pampering of Ning Rongrong, he would never forgive him. Thinking of Sword Douluo's power, he couldn't care less about the sect leader's punishment.

"Please calm down, young lady!"

He quickly bowed, his tone pleading, and said, "This subordinate will return to the sect immediately and report this matter to the sect leader!"
