Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 182 Tang San is anxious to marry off his mother.
After a long while, Lin Mu slowly opened his eyes, and a faint dark golden light burst forth from them.

Soon, he felt the increasingly powerful soul force within his body.

"As expected of a 400,000-year-old soul bone, not only did its soul power break through to more than half of level 95, but its physical strength was also greatly improved."

After a self-examination, Lin Mu became even more determined to complete the remaining three soul bones.

If one cultivates normally, it may take several years to increase one's soul power by one level, but if one absorbs soul bones, one can break through to level ninety-nine in a short time.

Now, he has the soul bone for his left arm, right arm, and right leg, but he is still missing the soul bones for his left leg, torso, and head.

The quality of the left leg soul bone doesn't need to be too high; it just needs to be over 100,000 years old.

However, the torso and head soul bones must be top-tier, at least 200,000 years old.

After all, these are the two most important parts among the six soul bones.

Especially the torso soul bone, besides the Deep Sea Demon Whale King dropping torso soul bones, only the Ice Emperor in the far north can drop torso soul bones.

If Lin Mu were to use his full strength, he could indeed contend with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Even if he ultimately failed to hunt it down, he could still protect himself by relying on his speed.

However, there is a problem: the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is related to the Nine Trials of the Sea God. If it is killed in advance, it may affect Xiao San's test.

Now that he has gained the approval of two deities, there is no need for him to compete for the position of sea god.

Although the Howling Tsunami Armor is very suitable for the Sea God's position, Lin Mu will not consider inheriting the Sea God's position.

On the one hand, he rarely used this armor.

On the other hand, since he already has the inheritance of a god, it would be unreasonable for him to try to seize the inheritance of the sea god as well.

Even if the sea god is stronger than an ordinary first-level god, it doesn't matter to him.

Therefore, in order to avoid problems with the Sea God's Nine Trials, he had no choice but to give up hunting the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

This leaves only the Hyotei as an option, aside from the unidentifiable ferocious beasts.

Although there are some differences between ice and water attributes, the differences are not significant, and absorbing soul bones is different from absorbing soul rings, so there is no need to worry too much about this issue.

"By the way, it seems that sacrifice can replenish any part of the soul bone at will."

Just as he thought of this, Lin Mu shook his head inwardly.

He now has nine spirit rings, making it impossible for him to accept another sacrifice unless he removes the previous spirit rings.
In the original story, in order to revive Xiao Wu, Tang San used the divine artifact, the Trident of the Sea God, to forcibly remove the first four spirit rings of the Blue Silver Grass, thus replacing them with four new spirit rings.

Logically speaking, other divine artifacts should also be able to have their soul rings extracted.

Although he had gained the approval of two deities, he needed to reach level ninety-nine to unlock the divine inheritance, and he had not yet decided whether or not he wanted to inherit it.

Suddenly, Lin Mu thought of a good option:

The Evil Emperor, ranked second among the ferocious beasts.

Although it is located on the Sun and Moon Continent, which is some unknown distance away, it is not difficult to find the Sun and Moon Continent with the speed of Hurricane Tuona.

Although hunting down the Evil Emperor will most likely yield an external soul bone, it can also greatly enhance one's mental strength.

As for the head soul bone, if one absorbs the Evil Emperor's Evil Eye Soul Bone, there is no need to be too demanding about the quality of the head soul bone; it only needs to reach 100,000 years.

"Master, what are you thinking about?"

Just as Lin Mu was pondering, Tang San finished his cultivation and looked up at his master with a surprised expression.

Upon hearing his disciple's question, Lin Mu immediately suppressed his thoughts.

Compared to acquiring the soul bones, the more important thing right now is to take the mistress on a training trip.

I got Thunder Yatalis with only 80% completion of the main quest. I can't even imagine what the reward would be if I reached 100%.

Then, Lin Mu reached out and tapped Tang San on the forehead, saying irritably, "I was thinking about your mother." "Really?"

Despite being hit, Tang San seemed excited, eager for his master to spend more time with his mother.

Seeing this, Lin Mu rolled her eyes.

Even if he were willing to take care of the orphan and widow, Ah Yin has not yet been resurrected, so there is nothing he can do.

Just then, Ah Yin's illusory figure floated out, her beautiful eyes staring straight at Lin Mu, and she said with a hint of shyness, "Mr. Lin Mu, you can see me anytime you want."

Seeing his mother being so proactive, Tang San nodded in satisfaction.

His master had always given unconditionally to him and his mother, and such a great debt of gratitude could never be repaid. But once they became family, this debt of gratitude would no longer need to be repaid.

"Ahem, if you have time..."

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable with Ah Yin's tenderness, Lin Mu changed the subject, asking, "Little San, what do you think of the Haotian Sect?"

"what?"

Tang San, who was watching the show, didn't react immediately when asked this question.

A moment later, he glanced at Tang Xiao and the others in the distance, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

Logically speaking, Haotian Sect should be considered his hometown. Although he has no emotional attachment to it, he still feels a pang of regret that it has developed into what it is today.

It's all that slovenly drunkard's fault.

If he hadn't insisted on taking his mother away, and even tried to kill her twice, no one else would have been implicated.

He quickly suppressed his resentment and said rather reasonably:

“Master, in my opinion, the Clear Sky Sect is the number one sect in the world. Not only is its strength second only to the Spirit Hall, but with those unique skills, the Clear Sky Hammer Soul Masters are stronger than other Soul Masters of the same level.”

"That's right. The reason why the Clear Sky Hammer is the number one weapon spirit in the world is precisely because of these unique skills."

Lin Mu nodded slightly.

Having received his master's affirmative answer, Tang San immediately had a guess in his mind and tentatively asked, "Master, do you want me to learn the Clear Sky Sect's ultimate techniques?"

“That’s right, you can’t just cultivate Blue Silver Grass; the other martial soul is equally important.”

Lin Mu's eyes flashed. Although he had abolished the cultivation of Tang Xiao and the others, the transmission of the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian did not require cultivation.

The only regrettable thing is that Tang Xiao and the others did not learn how to use the Great Sumeru Hammer.

Only one person in the same generation can learn the Great Sumeru Hammer. Tang Hao is dead, and only Tang Chen in this world knows how to use the Ring Explosion.

"Master, would they be willing to pass on this unique skill to me?"

Tang San said with some hesitation.

Although he coveted this skill, given what had happened, how could these people possibly teach him this amazing technique?

"Don't worry, I have a way."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mu suddenly disappeared from the spot and reappeared standing in front of Tang Xiao and the others.

Tang Xiao and the others were startled by Lin Mu's sudden appearance and almost fell to the ground.

A moment later, Tang Xiao was the first to come to his senses and said angrily, "Lin Mu, even if you cripple our cultivation, you can't enslave us."

“I have no interest in enslaving you. I want to discuss something with you. If any of you are willing to pass on the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian to my disciple, I will let him leave this place.”

　Regarding Tang San's divine position, will it follow the original plot, or will he inherit life and destruction, or will he only inherit the Sea God's position?
