Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 54 Lin Mu is becoming increasingly cruel
Seeing Lin Mu's behavior, the three education committee members felt a pang of anxiety, fearing that Chrysanthemum Douluo might cause trouble because of it.

However, Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't care about these formalities. His sharp eyes scrutinized Lin Mu, and he asked with some doubt, "Did you really defeat that old poisoner Dugu Bo?"

"Besides me, can you find another Soul Saint who defeated a Title Douluo?" Lin Mu asked calmly.

These words startled everyone present, as they rarely saw Lin Mu display such a cold and arrogant side.

Normally, Lin Mu only acts so decisively and directly when he takes action.

Upon hearing such arrogant words, a strange light flashed in Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes.

The initial contempt vanished instantly, replaced by deep astonishment and respect. If a Soul Saint could possess such strength, what did it matter if he was a little arrogant?

"His Holiness the Pope has ordered that you come to the Papal Palace for an audience."

As he spoke, Chrysanthemum Douluo played with his long fingernails, his tone revealing the superiority of an elder of the Spirit Hall.

Upon hearing this, the three education committee members immediately felt their hearts leap into their throats, looking at Lin Mu with great concern, worried that Lin Mu would agree and that he would offend the Spirit Hall as a result.

However, Lin Mu remained calm and composed, simply uttering two words: "No time."

Seeing that this guy didn't take the Pope's decree seriously, Chrysanthemum Douluo frowned and said unhappily, "You dare to disobey the Pope's decree?"

"I need to help my disciple hunt for a soul ring," Lin Mu said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo pondered for a moment, then conceded, saying, "His Holiness the Pope is always magnanimous and can allow you to delay for a few days. It will not be too late for you to go to the Spirit Hall after you have obtained the spirit ring."

"Fine, I'll just tell you straight up, I, Lin Mu, will never join the Spirit Hall," Lin Mu said bluntly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the air froze instantly.

Everyone was dumbfounded. They thought that even if Lin Mu didn't accept, he would use this as an excuse to delay for a while. They didn't expect him to refuse so directly.

"You...you dare to play tricks on me?!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo's eerie face instantly twisted, his eyes filled with rage.

"Yes, so what?"

Lin Mu sneered, with a hint of sarcasm, "Someone worked diligently his whole life and didn't even have a single ten-thousand-year-old soul bone. He wouldn't feed the horse but expected it to run. How utterly ridiculous!"

These words were like a sharp knife, piercing Chrysanthemum Douluo's sore spot!

He made great contributions to the Spirit Hall, but he never managed to obtain the ten-thousand-year-old soul bone he had always dreamed of. This has always been a source of anxiety for him!

"court death!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo was completely enraged. With a shrill cry, his powerful soul force erupted, and his nine soul rings instantly rose up. The powerful pressure made the surrounding students almost suffocate.

He moved with lightning speed, rushing straight at Lin Mu with a fierce killing intent!
The three education committee members were shocked and wanted to step forward to help, but Lin Mu stopped them with a gesture.

In an instant, Flame Nava was already on his body.

Facing Chrysanthemum Douluo's direct attack, Lin Mu threw a punch with all his might, the Qilin Flame enveloping his fist as it collided with Chrysanthemum Douluo.

"Oh!"

In the instant of the exchange, Chrysanthemum Douluo was sent flying more than ten meters away by an extremely powerful force before he could barely regain his footing.

At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo finally believed in this guy's strength; this power had reached the level of a powerful attack-type Title Douluo.

Having ascertained the opponent's strength, Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately stopped holding back, and his seventh spirit ring lit up.

"The seventh soul skill, martial soul true form!"

In an instant, the true form of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum bloomed in mid-air, and countless golden petals shot towards Lin Mu like sharp blades.

However, these petal storms, powerful enough to pierce through steel, only sparked countless fireballs when they landed on Lin Mu's crimson armor, causing no damage whatsoever.

"What?!" Chrysanthemum Douluo's pupils shrank sharply; his attack couldn't even break through this guy's defense.

At that moment, Lin Mu made his move. Instead of using a soul skill to test the waters, he directly activated the soul bone skill of his left arm.

"Titan's sky breaks!"

A dark red energy beam containing boundless power, imbued with both fire and earth attributes, erupted from Lin Mu's fist like a volcanic eruption.

With overwhelming force, it instantly broke through the storm of petals and accurately struck Chrysanthemum Douluo!
"boom!!!"

With a deafening roar, Chrysanthemum Douluo was blasted away by an irresistible force before he could react, crashing into a stone building outside the Education Committee.

This single blow inflicted considerable injury on Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Titan's left arm soul bone is a 100,000-year soul bone, and the power it contains is no less than that of a 100,000-year soul skill. Even a titled Douluo would suffer from it.

"puff!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo struggled out of the ruins, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his whole body in a sorry state.

Forced to this point by a mere Soul Saint, the shock in his eyes was replaced by endless shame and anger.

"Asshole, I want you to die!"

"Eighth Soul Skill, Stream of Light!"

As the eighth spirit ring lit up, the Martial Soul True Body shone brightly, instantly condensing countless golden streams of light that combined sharpness and speed, covering the entire sky like a torrential rain, determined to tear Lin Mu to shreds!

Faced with this attack that had almost no blind spots, Lin Mu decisively switched to Hurricane Tuona.

The next moment, Lin Mu transformed into a hurricane and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye. All the incredibly dense attacks missed their mark, leaving the ground riddled with holes.

"How can it be?!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo was horrified and hurriedly searched everywhere, but he couldn't find Lin Mu at all.

How can this guy have such terrifying speed!

Just as his eighth soul skill ended, a green figure appeared behind him almost instantly.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Mu's armor switched back to Flame Nava, and his fist, wrapped in Qilin fire, slammed into Chrysanthemum Douluo's back.

"boom!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo coughed up blood again, and his body crashed uncontrollably to the ground like a meteor, creating a deep crater.

That wasn't the end of it. Before Chrysanthemum Douluo could retaliate, Lin Mu threw another punch.

"Pfft! Cough cough~~"

Chrysanthemum Douluo felt as if all the bones in his body were about to fall apart, and blood kept spilling from his mouth, leaving him basically unable to resist.

Lin Mu stopped punching, looked at the disheveled Chrysanthemum Douluo, and sneered:

“In Bibi Dong’s eyes, you are nothing more than a pawn in her game. Why bother serving her? Wouldn’t it be better to just take advantage of the chaos and work a regular job?”

Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't understand the meaning of these words at all, taking it as Lin Mu mocking him, and immediately roared: "How could you possibly fathom the greatness of His Holiness the Pope!"

Lin Mu smiled coldly. A crazy woman like Bibi Dong is not worth anyone's loyalty.

"Your life is your own; don't wait until you die from someone else's schemes to realize your regret."

Upon hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo's struggling movements suddenly stopped, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes. Seeing that Lin Mu had no intention of killing him, he transformed into a golden light and fled.
