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

Upon hearing this news, Su Mo's expression immediately froze, and then she said in a heavy tone, "Please accept my condolences!"

Faced with Su Mo's superb acting skills, Wu Changkong couldn't find any flaws. He could only pat Su Mo on the shoulder and comfort him, "I'm telling you this only because you are also a victim and have the right to know the truth."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Mm!" Su Mo nodded seriously on the surface, but inwardly she was overjoyed.

Pressure? What kind of pressure could I possibly have?

"Alright, you go to the playground and meet up with Wu Lin and the others first. I still have some things to take care of."

Seeing that Su Mo's expression didn't change much, Wu Changkong could only let Su Mo leave first.

Upon hearing Wu Changkong tell him to leave, Su Mo turned and left without hesitation, leaving Wu Changkong alone behind.

Once Su Mo's figure disappeared around the corner, Wu Changkong immediately took out a miniature soul-guided monitor, the size of a grain of rice, developed by the Tang Sect, from under his collar.

Through this monitor, Wu Changkong had sent all the subtle changes in Su Mo's facial expressions and every move she made during their conversation to Liang Xiaoyu, the head of the Tang Clan's Min Hall.

In this era, the Tang Sect's organizational structure was divided into the Inner Hall, the Outer Hall, and the Douluo Hall, with the Douluo Hall holding the most prestigious position. The Douluo Hall Master also served as the Tang Sect Master.

The outer hall consists of three halls: Mintang, Litang, and Yutang, which are mainly responsible for the Tang Clan's external affairs.

Among them, Min-do was responsible for intelligence gathering and public relations, Ri-do was responsible for combat, and Mi-do was responsible for the Tang Clan's defense and the daily maintenance of its buildings.

The inner hall consists of three halls: the Enforcement Hall, the Battle Soul Hall, and the Offering Hall. It is mainly responsible for handling internal affairs of the Tang Clan.

The reason Su Mo was called out separately this time was because the Tang Clan suspected that Su Mo might be involved in the attack on Ling Zichen, and they wanted him to test Su Mo.

If Su Mo really was sent by the Holy Spirit Cult, then he would definitely reveal his true colors after hearing the news of Ling Zichen's death.

If Su Mo is not, then the Tang Clan can also use the mysterious force behind Su Mo to deal with the Holy Spirit Cult.

So no matter how this test goes, the Tang Clan will not lose out.

……

"Su Mo, what does Teacher Wu want with you?"

As soon as Su Mo arrived on the playground, Xie Xie eagerly sidled up to her to find out what was going on.

Although he and Su Mo weren't very familiar with each other before, they had become acquaintances today.

Just as Su Mo was about to answer, she saw Xie Xie's face become extremely stiff, looking as guilty as a child caught doing something wrong.

Su Mo turned around and found Wu Changkong standing right behind her.

Wu Changkong ignored Su Mo and looked at Xie Xie with a serious expression, coldly saying, "Xie Xie, are you very free? After the test is over, stay and run a hundred laps."

"No, Ms. Wu!"

Upon hearing that Wu Changkong wanted him to run a hundred laps, Xie Xie immediately put on a mournful face and begged Wu Changkong for mercy.

Wu Changkong ignored Xie Xie's wails and, after opening the registration book in his hand, said coldly, "Everyone assemble, begin the test."

The first test conducted was a strength test.

Strength tests are quite simple; they mainly test a range of physical strengths, such as grip strength, wrist strength, and explosive power.

After Su Mo and the others completed the strength test in an orderly manner, Wu Changkong looked at the data on the registration form and fell into deep thought.

In this test, Tang Wulin performed the best, even surpassing Su Mo, a Soul Master.

The worst performer was Xu Xiaoyan, the transfer student.

If Wu Changkong didn't know that Xu Xiaoyan was a level 17 Soul Master, he would have thought she was just an ordinary person just by looking at the data.

The only thing Wu Changkong didn't expect was Su Mo. Su Mo's power in his previous battle with the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had already surpassed that of Tang Wulin.

However, Su Mo's current strength is only slightly stronger than that of a power-attack type soul master of the same level, which is obviously a sign that he is holding back.

"Su Mo, don't you think you owe me a reasonable explanation?"

Wu Changkong pointed to the data recorded in the register in his hand and spoke with a serious expression.

Wu Changkong's cold voice instantly attracted the attention of Tang Wulin and the others, who all looked at Su Mo with curiosity.

They were also puzzled by the data on Su Mo's test strength.

They had all witnessed Su Mo's strength.

When Wu Changkong called out his name, Su Mo rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Is it possible that I used a secret technique?"

"You don't really think that a spirit-type Soul Master like me could possess that much power in my normal state, do you?!"

Su Mo wasn't lying. Although he had been taking whale glue and ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing marrow to train his body since he took human form, he couldn't really make himself possess power surpassing that of a power-attack type Soul Master.

Without using chakra to enhance himself, possessing a physique comparable to a Soul King and the power of a powerful offensive Soul Master is already the limit.

After hearing Su Mo's answer, Wu Changkong fell into deep thought, seemingly pondering the truthfulness of Su Mo's words.

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin felt a surge of secret joy for no apparent reason. Although his cultivation was inferior to Su Mo's, he was stronger than Su Mo in terms of raw power.

"You pass!"

After thinking it over, Wu Changkong nodded, which was considered as agreement with Su Mo's statement.

"Next, we will conduct a mental strength test."

Wu Changkong pointed to the equipment beside him, then ordered Xie Xie, "Xie Xie, you go first!"

"Uh-huh!"

Xie Xie didn't hesitate and quickly picked up the helmet and put it on his head.

With a soft humming sound, a gentle white light shone on the helmet, and the numbers on the instrument screen began to fluctuate.

1、2、3……48、49……

Soon the number on the screen broke through the fifty mark and finally stopped at fifty-nine.

This also signifies that Xie Xie's spiritual power has officially advanced from the Spirit Origin Realm to the Spirit Connection Realm.

In Douluo Continent, the levels of spiritual power can be divided into the following categories from low to high: Spiritual Origin Realm, Spiritual Connection Realm, Spiritual Sea Realm, Spiritual Abyss Realm, Spiritual Domain Realm, and the legendary Divine Origin Realm.

The strength of one's spiritual power determines the lifespan of the souls they can absorb and the lifespan of the soul rings they can bear.

The second person to be tested was Xu Xiaoyan. Although Xu Xiaoyan's cultivation level was not as high as Xie Xie's, her mental strength was slightly stronger than Xie Xie's, reaching 61, which is a qualified level among control-type soul masters.

Tang Wulin was the third to be tested.

The moment Tang Wulin put on the helmet, the numbers on the screen jumped rapidly, and in no time they broke through the two hundred mark.

Once the numbers on the screen stabilized, Xie Xie was dumbfounded. "Two hundred and fifty... ten."

"Wu Lin, you still say you didn't use cheats?"

Wu Changkong, who was recording data, was also dumbfounded when he heard Xie Xie announce the number of mental strength.

Although he had considered that Tang Wulin's mental strength would be strong, he never expected that Tang Wulin's mental strength would be this strong, actually reaching the middle stage of the Spiritual Connection Realm.

At ten years old, he has already reached the Spirit Realm, which means that in the future, Tang Wulin can reach the Spirit Sea Realm even if he does nothing.

This alone is enough to guarantee that Tang Wulin's future achievements will be remarkable.

Xu Xiaoyan, who was standing to the side, also widened her eyes. Even her older brother didn't have a mental strength of 250.

"Are you even human?"

Xu Xiaoyan swallowed hard, looking at Tang Wulin with a shocked expression.

Hehe~

Tang Wulin felt a little embarrassed by the stares and smiled shyly.

The fourth person to be tested was Gu Yue. When Gu Yue's mental strength number appeared, the entire audience was shocked once again.

Because Gu Yue's spiritual power had actually reached an extremely terrifying 278.

"Two hundred and seventy-eight... Is this even fair?"

Looking at the numbers on the screen, Xie Xie couldn't help but clutch his head and wail.

Even Tang Wulin couldn't help but swallow hard. He had thought his mental strength would catch up with Gu Yue's, but he didn't expect that he was still some distance away from Gu Yue.

Wu Changkong nodded with a look of satisfaction. Tang Wulin and Gu Yue were now qualified monsters.

Despite the astonishment of the crowd, Gu Yue remained calm, turning around and subconsciously glancing at Su Mo behind her.

From the very beginning, even while Gu Yue was conducting her own test, she was observing Su Mo.

She discovered that neither Tang Wulin nor her mental power could elicit a significant reaction from Su Mo.

Facing Gu Yue's gaze, Su Mo smiled but remained silent.

When Su Mo put on the psychic helmet, the numbers on the screen skyrocketed like a rocket.

"This...this..."

Seeing the numbers still jumping on the screen, Xie Xie was so frightened that he fell to the ground with a thud.
