Douluo: The Dragon King - I Planted the Divine Tree in Douluo.

Chapter 164 Running away

"Lord Su Mo, what is the next step?"

As soon as he got back to his residence, Ning Bei couldn't wait to ask Su Mo about his next move.

"Stay by my side for a while. I plan to revive Hyotei and Yuki-tei."

Upon hearing Su Mo say that he wanted to resurrect the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor, who had ascended to the God Realm with Lingbing Douluo Huo Yuhao, Ning Bei's expression changed drastically. He couldn't care less about maintaining his aloof image and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

"Resurrecting the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor? Lord Su Mo, isn't that far too risky?"

Seeing Ning Bei's anxious expression, Su Mo naturally knew what he was worried about.

Ning Bei was worried that he wouldn't be able to protect himself.

Although Ning Bei's strength has already reached the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent.

But facing the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor, who had ascended to the divine realm, he really had little chance of winning.

Su Mo smiled and comforted Ning Bei, "You don't think I'd be foolish enough to confront those two people directly, do you?"

"Don't forget, I'm a soul beast in human form!"

"For the sake of our compatriots, they probably won't try to kill me right away."

Seeing that Su Mo had no intention of changing his mind, Ning Bei could only nod in agreement with Su Mo's plan.

After a moment of silence, Ning Bei couldn't help but remind him, "Should we... call Leng Yulai over too?"

"If something unexpected really happens, the two of us working together should be able to give you a chance to survive."

"Need not!"

Su Mo waved his hand and rejected Ning Bei's suggestion, "I will limit the power of those two and won't let them arrive at their peak."

Hearing Su Mo say that, Ning Bei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Go and prepare two more offerings!"

"Um!"

Ning Bei responded and his figure suddenly disappeared.

"Knock knock knock!"

No sooner had Ning Bei left than a series of urgent knocks sounded at the door.

Su Mo was somewhat surprised that someone would come looking for her so late.

As soon as Su Mo opened the door, she saw Long Hengxu standing at the door, rubbing his hands together shyly.

"Uh... Director Long, what brings you here? Is there something you need so late?"

Su Mo pushed open the door and stepped aside to invite Long Hengxu in.

"No!"

Seeing this, Long Hengxu quickly waved his hand, forcing an awkward smile, "Su Mo, there are some things I'd like to discuss with you about the academy."

"What's wrong?"

Su Mo was somewhat puzzled as to what Donghai Academy needed to discuss with her about.

"Um... the academy hopes you can go back soon."

As Long Hengxu spoke, he carefully observed Su Mo's expression, afraid that Su Mo would be dissatisfied.

"Want to go back soon?"

"That day, the ocean competition..."

Su Mo was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Long Hengxu would come to find her because of this.

"No need to participate!" Long Hengxu immediately shook his head like a rattle drum. "You've already made a name for Donghai Academy in today's competition. It doesn't matter whether you participate in the Tianhai Grand Competition or not."

After thinking for a moment, Su Mo pondered and said, "I understand, but I need to discuss it with Xu Xiaoyan and Mu Xi!"

Su Mo wasn't particularly concerned about whether or not to participate in the Tianhai Grand Competition, since he already knew the location of the Tianhai Treasure Vault.

Once things calm down, I can sweep everything out of the Tianhai Treasure Vault.

However, since I participated in the team competition with Xu Xiaoyan and Mu Xi, it would be too unfair to the two of them if I withdrew from the competition.

Therefore, Su Mo needed to ask for their opinions.

As for forging competitions, there was no point in continuing to participate after becoming Yuan Bao'er's apprentice.

"They've both agreed!"

"I had already asked for their opinions before coming to you."

Seeing this, Long Hengxu hurriedly spoke up, afraid that Su Mo would regret it if he was a step too slow.

"You agree?"

Su Mo was somewhat surprised.

But upon closer reflection, it makes sense; Xu Xiaoyan never really had any interest in fighting spirits.

If he hadn't dragged her into the competition, Xu Xiaoyan wouldn't have bothered coming to Tianhai City at all.

Mu Xi, needless to say, came to the Tianhai Grand Competition mainly to participate in the forging competition.

"Okay, what time are you going back tomorrow?"

Su Mo inquired about the return time.

"How about 9 AM tomorrow?"

Long Hengxu rubbed his hands together, somewhat embarrassed.

"So early?"

Su Mo raised an eyebrow in surprise, not expecting Donghai Academy to be in such a hurry.

"It seems something has happened that I don't know about."

However, Su Mo didn't take it to heart. What could be so important that Long Hengxu and the others would know about it?

"OK!"

Su Mo readily agreed to Long Hengxu's request.

"Phew~"

Seeing that Su Mo had agreed to his request, Long Hengxu breathed a sigh of relief.

According to intelligence provided by the Tianhai Alliance, several established academies in other regions are sending people to Tianhai City at breakneck speed in an attempt to win over Su Mo.

Although Su Mo rejected Tianhai Academy's offer of enticement without hesitation today, the problem is that Tianhai Academy is only a dominant force in the eastern region.

Once you leave the eastern region, Tianhai Academy is no different from their Donghai Academy; they're both just roadside academies.

Not to mention compared to those established academies with titled Douluo in charge.

If Su Mo is moved by those people, then they won't even have a place to cry.

"Then I won't disturb your rest!"

After finishing his sentence, Long Hengxu left in a hurry.

The next morning.

As the first hint of dawn appeared on the horizon, pale golden sunlight streamed into the hotel room through the gaps in the curtains.

After a good night's sleep, Su Mo slowly opened her eyes, stretched, and her joints made a series of crisp "crackling" sounds.

Everything from last night still seemed to be swirling in his mind. He squinted slightly, recalling Long Hengxu's cautious expression, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Honestly, you're acting like I'm some big shot."

After getting dressed and throwing off the covers, Su Mo pulled back the curtains, letting the morning sunlight stream in and bathing the entire room in a golden glow.

The warm sun shining on my face made me feel inexplicably comfortable.

After Su Mo finished washing up, she opened the door and saw Long Hengxu waiting at the door.

Seeing Long Hengxu waiting at the door early in the morning with breakfast in hand, Su Mo was speechless. "Is he in such a hurry?"

Long Hengxu smiled but didn't say anything. He quickly handed the still-steaming breakfast to Su Mo.

After Su Mo quickly finished her breakfast, Long Hengxu nervously led her to the hotel's underground parking lot, as if they were doing something wrong.

In the underground parking lot, a modified Soul Guide car was already waiting.

Long Hengxu knocked on the passenger window and said softly, "Dean, Su Mo is here!"

Sitting in the driver's seat, Yu Zhen opened the car window and nodded solemnly to Long Hengxu.

Before Su Mo could react, Long Hengxu pushed her into the car.

The system will stabilize after the World Championship is over.

I will definitely make up for the two chapters I owe this week.
