Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 55 A Soul Saint Comparable to a Super Douluo

After Chrysanthemum Douluo fled, Lin Mu removed his armor and turned to look at the crowd.

Everyone stared at him in disbelief, unable to process what was happening for a long time.

Lin Mu's previous victory over Poison Douluo had already overturned their understanding, but they never expected that even Chrysanthemum Douluo would be no match for him.

Meng Shenji suppressed his shock and stepped forward quickly, bowing slightly to Lin Mu with utmost respect, saying, "Teacher Lin Mu, are you really just a Soul Saint?"

Everyone turned to look at Lin Mu, also wanting to know the answer to this question.

Apart from the members of the Royal Fighting Team, no one else witnessed the battle between Lin Mu and Poison Douluo; they only knew that Lin Mu defeated Poison Douluo.

Now, they have all witnessed Lin Mu brutally beating the famous Chrysanthemum Douluo. The whole process was smooth and efficient, without any hesitation.

Especially when Chrysanthemum Douluo released his eighth soul skill, Lin Mu's speed was terrifying. Even the three instructors only saw a blur.

Immediately afterwards, Chrysanthemum Douluo crashed heavily to the ground, without even seeing what happened.

Even the three education committee members couldn't see it clearly, let alone the others. In their sight, Lin Mu seemed to have vanished into thin air.

In response to Meng Shenji's question, Lin Mu replied calmly, "I only have seven spirit rings. Haven't you all seen them before?"

Upon hearing this, the three education commissioners suddenly came to their senses.

Yes, spirit rings can't be faked. In the previous battle between Lin Mu and Qin Ming, there were indeed only seven spirit rings.

The shock of the three education committee members lessened somewhat upon thinking of that astonishing 100,000-year soul ring.

Meng Shenji took a deep breath and said with great respect, "Teacher Lin Mu, your strength is truly astonishing. Defeating two Title Douluos in succession is unprecedented and will never be repeated!"

Lin Mu simply smiled faintly and said nothing more.

In fact, only after personally fighting him did he realize that Chrysanthemum Douluo was much stronger than Dugu Bo. Both of their soul skills were mainly area-of-effect attacks, while their single-target attacks were relatively weak.

If it were any other powerful Title Douluo with top-tier beast martial souls, he would never have won so easily.

At this moment, Zhilin Education Committee member stepped forward, looking worried, and said:

"Teacher Lin Mu, your serious injury to Chrysanthemum Douluo has undoubtedly been a slap in the face to the Spirit Hall. But given their style, they will not let this go. We still need to make plans as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Meng Shenji's expression also became serious.

The Spirit Hall is currently very powerful, and if they use this as a reason to put pressure on the Heaven Dou royal family, it would indeed be a considerable problem.

However, as he looked at the unfathomable Lin Mu before him, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

Such extraordinary talent is worth far more than we can imagine!
Even if it completely offends the Spirit Hall, as long as we can bind him to the Heaven Dou Empire, all the costs are worthwhile!
Thinking of this, Meng Shenji looked at Lin Mu with a firm gaze and solemnly promised:
"Teacher Lin Mu, please take your disciples hunting for spirit rings in the next few days. I will go to the palace immediately to report this matter to His Majesty. The Empire will surely stand by your side!"

The meaning of these words is quite clear: Meng Shenji intends to advise Emperor Xueye to win over Lin Mu at all costs.

Even though Lin Mu never truly pledged allegiance to the Heavenly Dou royal family, it was enough that he stood on the opposite side of the Spirit Hall.

"Then I'll have to trouble Education Committee Member Meng Shenji," Lin Mu nodded slightly.

"That's all we should do."

Meng Shenji quickly waved his hand, saying that a powerful young expert like Lin Mu must be won over at all costs.

After all, if a Soul Saint could defeat Chrysanthemum Douluo, it's hard to imagine what level of strength he would reach after cultivating to the Title Douluo level.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lin Mu led Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ye Lingling away from the academy, heading towards the Star Dou Great Forest. The reason for bringing Xiao Wu along was naturally to prevent the Spirit Hall from resorting to underhanded tactics.

The Spirit Hall is ruthless and unscrupulous. If Xiao Wu is left alone at the academy, it's hard to guarantee that Bibi Dong won't send someone to capture her and use her as leverage to threaten Lin Mu.

Even if Lin Mu is not afraid of this threat, there is no need for him to invite trouble.

Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace.

Despite the excruciating pain coursing through his body, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan staggered along in a disheveled state, about to enter the main hall to report back, when a blurry ghostly figure silently appeared before him.

The newcomer was none other than Ghost Douluo, Ghostly Demon.

In terms of individual strength alone, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo are not outstanding among Title Douluos, but their Spirit Fusion Skill, the Polar Stillness Domain, is enough to make them stand out in the Spirit Hall.

Ghost Douluo was about to mock Chrysanthemum Douluo, but seeing his utterly miserable state, he swallowed his words and quickly stepped forward to support him, asking in surprise:

"How did you get injured like this? Who did this?!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo smiled bitterly, but said in a hoarse voice, "Old ghost, take me to see His Holiness the Pope first."

Seeing this, Ghost Douluo's eyes flashed with cold light. He suppressed his anger and immediately helped Chrysanthemum Douluo into the Papal Palace.

Inside the magnificent hall, Bibi Dong sat on her throne, her left hand gently supporting her cheek, her gaze indifferent as she looked down.

When she saw Ghost Douluo helping the heavily injured Chrysanthemum Douluo in, her purple eyes suddenly narrowed, but she showed no concern whatsoever. Instead, she coldly questioned him:

"Yue Guan, I ordered you to bring Lin Mu here. Where is the others?"

Hearing this indifferent tone, Chrysanthemum Douluo felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help but recall what Lin Mu had told him.

Could it be that he really is just a pawn?
Then, with the help of Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo stood up straight and respectfully replied, "Your Holiness, I have found Lin Mu, but he is unwilling to come."

Bibi Dong's face instantly turned ashen. Her gaze swept over Chrysanthemum Douluo again, and she said in a deep voice with disbelief, "Were these injuries on you caused by Lin Mu?"

In her opinion, even if Yue Guan's strength was not good, he was still a level 94 Title Douluo, far superior to Poison Douluo.

Unless they encounter a powerhouse at the level of a Super Douluo, they can at least escape unscathed.

However, Yue Guan's injuries were clearly completely overwhelmed. Could it be that Lin Mu's strength was comparable to that of a Super Douluo?

how can that be!

“Your Holiness, Lin Mu’s strength far surpasses mine. I am utterly powerless against him!”

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, both Bibi Dong and Ghost Douluo were stunned.

Seeing that Chrysanthemum Douluo was not faking it, Bibi Dong finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

This young Soul Saint who appeared out of nowhere was far stronger than she had expected. If she wanted to subdue him by force, she would probably have to take action herself.

Her eyes flashed as she quickly weighed the pros and cons, and said coldly, "Since this person is so powerful, let's put aside the matter of recruiting him into the Spirit Hall for now."

In her view, if she were to take action herself, it would be a fight to the death.

Since we can't subdue it, we might as well hand it over to Qian Renxue; perhaps we'll reap unexpected rewards.
