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

After hearing Gu Yue's answer, Wu Changkong nodded approvingly, "Gu Yue is right!"

"The cultivation system of the old era and the cultivation system of the soul differ in their cultivation speed: one focuses on early-stage power, while the other focuses on later-stage power."

At this point, Wu Changkong paused and then said mysteriously, "Moreover, the Soul Spirit system has an advantage that the old-era system cannot match..."

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, who had been almost losing confidence due to Su Mo's cultivation speed, were immediately intrigued upon hearing this and looked eagerly at Wu Changkong.

Even Gu Yue's beautiful eyes flashed with curiosity after hearing this. She hadn't expected that the Soul Spirit System had benefits she didn't know about.

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Wu Changkong stopped dawdling and confidently said, "The biggest advantage of the Soul Spirit System is that it can lower the threshold for breakthroughs."

Fearing that Tang Wulin and the others might not believe him, Wu Changkong added, "Since the birth of the Soul Spirit system, the number and cultivation level of Soul Masters on the entire continent have far surpassed those of the old era."

"Many people who were originally born with low soul power and could not walk the path of soul master have successfully embarked on this path with the blessing of soul spirits."

Wu Changkong's words were not unfounded; they were based on a wealth of facts.

Before the birth of Soul Spirits, an era could produce at most three or four Limit Douluos, and some eras didn't even have a single Limit Douluo.

However, after the Soul Spirit system was born, the number of Limit Douluo in Douluo Continent increased more than tenfold.

Many people can break through to the Limit Douluo level simply by following the steps of cultivation, which was completely unimaginable in the past.

After hearing Wu Changkong's explanation, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie's eyes lit up. They hadn't expected the Soul Spirit System to have such benefits.

Tang Wulin was particularly moved. When he only had level three soul power, many people said he was not suitable to become a soul master. But now, at only ten years old, he is already a genuine great soul master.

Xu Xiaoyan didn't feel much, but she felt that Wu Changkong was targeting her idol.

After hearing Wu Changkong's explanation, Su Mo and Gu Yue both wore expressions that were difficult to evaluate.

After all, one of them is a collaborator of the Spirit of the Plane, and the other is the Lord of Soul Beasts whose strength is close to that of a God King. No one understands the changes in the plane rules of Douluo Continent better than the two of them.

The number of Limit Douluo has exploded, and this has absolutely nothing to do with the Soul Spirit system. It's purely because the plane rules of Douluo Continent have changed, reducing the suppression of Soul Masters' breakthroughs.

If we put the current Limit Douluo in Douluo Continent into the Douluo plane ten thousand years ago, before the rules of the plane had changed, at least 90% of them would be stuck at the Super Douluo level.

However, although Su Mo and Gu Yue both knew that Wu Changkong was wrong, they both chose to remain silent.

Speaking out about this will only cause you trouble.

Seeing Tang Wulin and Xie Xie regain their confidence, Wu Changkong nodded in satisfaction.

Then Wu Changkong looked at Su Mo and moved his lips as if he wanted to say something but in the end he didn't say anything.

"Now that you're all familiar with each other, gather on the playground. I'm going to check if you've been slacking off this past month."

After announcing the order, Wu Changkong beckoned to Su Mo, "Su Mo, come with me!"

"Um!"

Su Mo nodded, got up, and followed Wu Changkong out of Class Zero's classroom.

As soon as Su Mo and Wu Changkong left the classroom, Class Zero's classroom instantly became lively.

Xie Xie immediately joined Tang Wulin in discussing why Wu Changkong had called Su Mo out.

Although Xie Xie was very curious as to why Wu Changkong had called Su Mo out alone, Wu Changkong had already ordered them to assemble on the playground, so he dared not secretly follow them.

Otherwise, if they get caught, they'll definitely have to put in extra training.

"Wu Lin, why do you think Teacher Wu called Su Mo out alone?"

"It should be compensation!"

After thinking for a moment, Tang Wulin said somewhat uncertainly.

He actually knew why Wu Changkong had called Su Mo out, but he couldn't reveal it.

Xie Xie didn't notice the unusual tone in Tang Wulin's voice, and nodded in deep agreement.

"I just don't know what kind of compensation Tang Sect will give Su Mo."

Xu Xiaoyan quickly sat down next to Gu Yue and started chatting with her, trying to get some information about Su Mo from Gu Yue.

Unfortunately, given Gu Yue's aloof nature, Xu Xiaoyan was destined to get a cold shoulder.

Outside Class Zero

Following behind Wu Changkong, Su Mo looked at the silent Wu Changkong ahead and had a pretty good idea of ​​Wu Changkong's purpose in seeking him out alone.

He simply wanted to test whether Ling Zichen's attack had anything to do with him.

Unfortunately, the timing of this incident was far too sensitive.

Ling Zichen had just arrived in Donghai City when he was attacked on his way back to Shrek Academy headquarters, making it hard not to think of himself as one of the attackers.

"Alright, let's leave it here!"

At a secluded corner of the teaching building, Wu Changkong suddenly stopped, turned around, and took out an exquisite box from his soul-guided storage device, handing it to Su Mo.

Su Mo took the box from Wu Changkong, a look of curiosity flashing across her face. "This is...?"

"This is a piece of the left claw bone of an Ice Jade Scorpion, with the added soul skill of Ice Explosion," Wu Changkong explained indifferently.

"Ice Jade Scorpion?"

Su Mo paused for a moment, then feigned a puzzled look and asked curiously, "I remember the Ice Jade Scorpion was confirmed to be extinct five thousand years ago, wasn't it?"

Upon hearing Su Mo bring up this topic, Wu Changkong's face darkened with displeasure. "Isn't it normal for the Tang Sect, with its long history and rich heritage, to retain some Ice Jade Scorpion soul bones?"

"Alright!"

Since Wu Changkong had said that, Su Mo stopped talking nonsense and turned to leave.

"Wait a moment!"

Seeing Su Mo turn to leave, Wu Changkong quickly called out to her.

"Su Mo, the Tang Sect has already investigated the cause of the Hero Hall system malfunction that day."

Wu Changkong stared intently at Su Mo, trying to glean something from Su Mo's expression.

"What's the reason?"

Su Mo spoke calmly, without any emotional fluctuation.

"It's the Holy Spirit Cult pulling the strings behind the scenes!"

"What?!!"

Upon hearing the mention of the Holy Spirit Sect, Su Mo's previously calm demeanor vanished, replaced by a look of surprise.

Seeing that Su Mo's surprise seemed genuine, Wu Changkong's suspicions about Su Mo lessened somewhat.

"The system malfunction was caused by the Holy Spirit Cult. Their real target wasn't you, but Director Ling."

"That big butt..."

Su Mo blurted it out almost subconsciously.

Upon hearing Su Mo refer to Ling Zichen as "big butt," Wu Changkong glared at Su Mo unhappily.

Although he admitted that Ling Zichen's butt was unusually large, Ling Zichen was now a martyr of the Tang Clan, and Su Mo's words were extremely disrespectful.

After being glared at by Wu Changkong, Su Mo quickly changed his tune, "I meant, Director Ling, isn't that...?"

"Um!"

Wu Changkong nodded and said with a heavy expression, "Director Ling was attacked by the Holy Spirit Cult on his way back to the Tang Clan headquarters and unfortunately sacrificed his life."
