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

Having already decided in his heart that Su Mo was a member of the Body Sect, Wang Ling returned to his work after checking on Su Mo's physical condition.

After Wang Ling and the others dispersed, Wu Changkong walked up and looked Su Mo up and down before asking curiously, "Su Mo, what was with your swordsmanship just now?"

Wu Changkong, also a swordsman, was very curious about the swordsmanship Su Mo had just used.

Although Su Mo's swordsmanship seemed to lack any rules, it inexplicably gave people a feeling of clean and neat movements without any unnecessary actions.

Moreover, during Su Mo's fight with the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Wu Changkong also noticed the unusual aspects of Su Mo's swordsmanship.

Even though the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear dodged Su Mo's sword strikes several times, it still managed to get injured.

Su Mo didn't answer, but looked at Wu Changkong with the same look she would give an idiot.

Asking about other people's secrets right off the bat—this Wu Changkong is a brainless idiot, what a waste of that aloof face.

Feeling the strange look in Su Mo's eyes, Wu Changkong realized that he had been a bit presumptuous.

However, Wu Changkong showed no remorse and instead complained that Su Mo was ungrateful.

As his teacher, isn't it perfectly normal for me to ask him about his soul skills?

In Wu Changkong's eyes, as Su Mo's teacher, Su Mo must unconditionally obey his orders, even if they are wrong.

If it weren't for the fact that Tang Wulin still needed to use Su Mo's spot to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform, even with Yu Zhen, the principal of Donghai Academy, giving him special instructions, he would have kicked Su Mo out of Class Zero.

Students who disobey their teachers are not worthy of their instruction; this is the arrogance of Wu Changkong as a disciple of Shrek Academy and Tang Clan.

Having been rebuffed by Su Mo, Wu Changkong snorted and turned to continue observing Tang Wulin and the others.

Inside the Ascension Platform, Tang Wulin and his group encountered the siblings Xu Xiaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan after successfully defeating the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

In order to seize the soul power aura that Tang Wulin and his group had hunted, the Xu siblings and Tang Wulin's group fought each other.

However, the Xu siblings seemed to have misjudged the fighting strength of Tang Wulin and his group, and were easily eliminated by them.

After eliminating the Xu siblings, Tang Wulin and his group did not encounter the fleeing Flame Lion pack because the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was no longer involved.

After symbolically hunting down several more hundred-year-old soul beasts, Tang Wulin and his group, whose time had run out, were forcibly teleported out.

"Dance teacher!!!"

As soon as Tang Wulin came out of the simulator, he couldn't wait to share the good news with Wu Changkong.

This time, they not only made a fortune in the Ascension Platform, but also survived to the end.

Seeing Tang Wulin happily sharing the good news with him, Wu Changkong's cold expression finally softened slightly.

"You all did a great job this time; you all passed the final exam."

Wu Changkong's praise delighted Tang Wulin and the others, as this was the first time they had received his affirmation since they had followed him for so long.

Even the usually aloof Gu Yue couldn't help but smile slightly after hearing Wu Changkong's praise.

Seeing Wu Changkong and Tang Wulin looking so happy, Su Mo sneered inwardly.

Although Su Mo didn't know whether Wu Changkong did it intentionally or unintentionally, he had to admit that Wu Changkong's strategy of first suppressing and then elevating was indeed very effective.

They didn't see how happy the Silver Dragon King, who carried the hopes of all the soul beasts for the future, was because of a single, costless compliment.

Su Mo yawned, intending to go back to sleep. He had no interest in watching Tang Wulin and Wu Changkong put on a show of deep affection between master and disciple.

"Su Mo, classmate..."

Just as Su Mo was about to leave, Tang Wulin called her back.

"Is there something you need?"

Su Mo turned around expressionlessly and responded indifferently.

Although Su Mo knew that Tang Wulin would be her enemy in the future, she didn't mind becoming close friends with him before things escalated to a point of no return.

Hearing Su Mo's indifferent tone, Tang Wulin's joyful smile froze, and he felt inexplicably frustrated.

This was the first time Tang Wulin had ever encountered someone like Su Mo who ignored him. Although Xie Xie was also arrogant before, he had not ignored his existence.

Su Mo's tone was very calm, so calm that Tang Wulin felt like he was just an insignificant presence in front of Su Mo, which made Tang Wulin, who was used to being the center of attention, feel a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that Tang Wulin remained silent, Su Mo urged indifferently, "If there's nothing else, I'll head back!"

"Wait……"

Seeing that Su Mo was about to step out the door, Tang Wulin didn't have time to think and quickly took out the cloud titanium vest he had made.

Because Tang Wulin had been using Su Mo's spot to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform, he specially made one for Su Mo when he was making the Cloud Titanium Vest.

Tang Wulin originally intended to give it to Su Mo before entering the Spirit Ascension Platform, but after seeing Su Mo's indifferent attitude towards Wu Changkong, he inexplicably gave up the idea.

"Su Mo, this vest was specially made for you."

"With this, when you act alone inside the Ascension Platform in the future..."

"No need, this thing is useless to me!"

Seeing the vest Tang Wulin handed over, Su Mo waved his hand and refused without even looking at it.

Tang Wulin was clearly surprised to be rejected by Su Mo, and stood there stunned, not knowing what to do.

Su Mo's cold rejection angered Xie Xie, Tang Wulin's best friend, who couldn't stand it any longer and jumped in to criticize, "How can you be so ungrateful?"

"If Wu Lin gives it to you, just take it. He's not charging you any money."

Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi nodded in agreement, and even Gu Yue frowned slightly, feeling that Su Mo's refusal was a bit too much.

After taking in everyone's attitudes, Su Mo slowly replied, "Just because he gives me something doesn't mean I have to accept it."

"Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of ulterior motives or theft; I don't need to remind you of that, do I?"

"you……"

Su Mo's words left Xie Xie speechless, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became serious.

Aside from Wang Ling and his staff who seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold, Tang Wulin and his group were rendered speechless by the rebuttal.

"besides……"

Su Mo glanced around at everyone again and said in a deep voice, "These little toys are really of no use to me. Even if I accepted them, they would just gather dust in a corner. It would be better to keep them and give them to other people who need them more."

The tense atmosphere eased considerably after Su Mo said those words. Tang Wulin's eyes widened in surprise, not expecting that Su Mo had rejected him for this reason.

Although Su Mo's tone was still as cold as before, Tang Wulin and the others could clearly feel the softening in Su Mo's tone.

Xie Xie turned his head away and curled his lip in disdain at Su Mo's words, saying, "Tch! You, a Great Soul Master, haven't been inside as long as we, the Human Soul Masters, have. How dare you say such a thing?"

Xie Xie, as one of the first users, has ample authority to speak on just how useful Tang Wulin's Cloud Titanium Vest is.

In the previous battle with the Human-Faced Demon Spider, the cloud titanium vest that Tang Wulin gave him helped him block several fatal attacks.

Without this vest, they might not have been able to defeat the Man-Faced Spider so easily.

But now, Su Mo, a guy who hasn't even spent as much time in the Spirit Ascension Platform as Xie Xie, is saying that the Cloud Titanium Vest made by Wu Lin is useless to him. How can Xie Xie not be angry?
