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

Chapter 43 Leng Yulai Arrives!

"Director Ling, you just promised me."

"Your Tang Clan wouldn't go back on your word, would you?"

Su Mo, always eager for excitement, chimed in.

"Little brat, this was your original goal, wasn't it!"

Ling Zichen, who had stopped outputting, glared at Su Mo and spoke fiercely.

As the chief scientist of the Tang Clan, if she couldn't even recognize such a precious material as the Dark Gold Terror Claw, she might as well throw away her eyes.

No wonder Su Mo changed her mind; she was waiting for me here.

Although the Tang Sect has accumulated a lot of soul bones over the past ten thousand years, the Great Sweep in the Far North five thousand years ago made the Tang Sect and the Spirit Pagoda extremely wealthy.

Even so, finding an external soul bone of the same grade as the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's right palm bone is still quite challenging.

This grade of soul bone is generally used in the Tang Sect to train hall masters.

"Um!"

Su Mo didn't argue, but readily admitted it.

Seeing that Su Mo had admitted it, Ling Zichen's expression softened considerably. "Little brat, congratulations, you've achieved your goal."

Although she was very unhappy that Su Mo had tricked her, she had already agreed to Su Mo's request.

She would do anything to get Su Mo an external soul bone of the same quality as the right palm bone of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

Keeping one's word is one of Ling Zichen's life principles.

"Little brat, now you can tell me about what happened to you in the Hall of Heroes."

"sure!"

Just as Su Mo was about to speak, she saw Ling Zichen turn to look at Mu Xi. "Miss Mu Xi, what follows involves the secrets of our Tang Clan. Could you please leave your boyfriend for a while?"

"Oh, no!" Mu Xi's cheeks flushed slightly as she waved her hands repeatedly, "My junior and I aren't in that kind of relationship yet!"

Mu Xi didn't hear a word Ling Zichen said, only the last sentence, "your little boyfriend."

"..."

Looking at Mu Xi's shy expression, Ling Zichen was speechless.

He winked at Xu Li, who understood and led Mu Xi out.

After Mu Xi was led out of the room by Xu Li, Ling Zichen nodded in satisfaction and looked at Su Mo again, "Little brat, now you can begin your story."

Before coming to see Su Mo, Ling Zichen had already visited the Tang Clan's branch in Donghai City.

Unfortunately, there was no record of Su Mo's information from that day in the system.

If Wu Changkong hadn't repeatedly assured him that he hadn't done anything, Ling Zichen would have really suspected that Wu Changkong had taken it upon himself to delete the records in the system.

Su Mo did not hide anything and told Ling Zichen everything that happened between her and Tang San in the Hall of Heroes.

Ling Zichen listened attentively, his expression growing increasingly serious.

After Su Mo finished speaking, Ling Zichen's brows furrowed into a deep line.

Ling Zichen herself didn't know much about the Hall of Heroes, because the project had already been running before she joined the Tang Sect.

Zang Xin sent her here simply because all the researchers involved in the construction of the Hall of Heroes had already passed away, and they could only rely on her, the chief scientist of the Tang Clan.

"I don't think the Hall of Heroes originally had any code for detonating the rings!"

Ling Zichen scratched his head in distress.

If Su Mo wasn't lying, then there were too many suspicious points in this matter, and she needed to go back and check the records left over from when the Hall of Heroes was built.

"Little brat, thanks for telling me."

"Please do not reveal anything about the Hall of Heroes. As for the Soul Bone, I will have Wu Changkong deliver it to you."

Before leaving, Ling Zichen made sure to give Su Mo some important instructions.

No sooner had Ling Zichen left than Mu Xi peeked in.

"Junior, did Big Butt give you a hard time?"

Mu Xi sat down next to Su Mo in a carefree manner and asked with concern.

"No, thank you so much for standing up for me!"

"It's nothing!"

Mu Xi quickly waved her hand, then patted her slightly protruding chest and solemnly assured Su Mo.

"Junior, if Big Butt goes back on his word, you must come to me. I will definitely help you get justice."

Mu Xi said this, but she was actually quite grateful to Ling Zichen.

If it weren't for her appearance, her relationship with Su Mo might not have progressed so quickly.

Didn't you see that Su Mo isn't uncomfortable at all, even though you're sitting side by side with her?

However, the thought that Su Mo had to cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo before the age of eighteen to survive made Mu Xi's heart ache, and she felt so heavy that she could hardly breathe.

Seeing Mu Xi's worried expression, Su Mo felt like he was a terrible person for deceiving such a devoted girl.

The idea that he wouldn't live past eighteen was actually something he orchestrated himself.

The Eight Gates Formation and the Seven Heavens Breathing Technique are both incredibly powerful, one burning the heart and the other exploding the lungs. It would be strange if one could live long if they used both at the same time.

However, Su Mo already had a solution.

He wasn't a completely untrained Uchiha like Sasuke, who knew nothing about the Uchiha's ancestral ninjutsu.

Don't underestimate the power of the Uchiha's eyes!

Long before activating the Eight Gates and the Seven-Day Breathing Technique, Su Mo had already used Izanagi to record his physical condition and used the Uchiha family's ancestral ninjutsu, the Transcription Seal, to set the activation time of Izanagi to one month later.

The Transcribing Seal is a technique that uses the Sharingan to seal ninjutsu into the eyes of either the user or the target. When certain conditions are met, the seal will automatically release, and the sealed ninjutsu will be released.

Madara used the Transcription Seal to seal Izanagi in his right eye, allowing him to fake his death and escape without anyone's knowledge.

So as long as we wait a month, regardless of whether Su Mo is alive or dead at that time, as long as his right eye is still in Izanagi, it will automatically trigger and restore Su Mo's physical condition to the state before he opened the Eight Gates and the Seven Days Breathing Technique.

Of course, Su Mo could also lift the transcribing seal in advance and release Izanagi ahead of time.

"Alright, senior, don't worry too much."

"Even if I can't cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo before I turn eighteen, I can just go and apologize to Big Butt when the time comes."

In order not to worry Mu Xi, Su Mo could only use Ling Zichen as a shield.

Hearing Su Mo say this, Mu Xi, though still looking worried, was clearly in much better shape than before.

"Um... junior, I have to go to Tiandou City to see my elders later, and I might not be back until after the semester starts."

After a long silence, Mu Xi suddenly spoke.

Of course, there was one thing Mu Xi didn't tell Su Mo: her trip to Tian Dou City was actually to learn cooking from Mu Ye, something she had arranged with Mu Ye before Su Mo was injured.

"Okay, senior, you can go ahead and do your own thing!"

"I'll treat you to dinner when you get back!"

As Su Mo spoke, he patted Mu Xi's shoulder, indicating that Mu Xi didn't need to worry so much.

"Uh-huh!"

Mu Xi nodded with a sigh of relief.

"Then I'll be going now, junior."

Before leaving, Mu Xi stood at the door of the ward and waved goodbye to Su Mo.

Goodbye, senior!

"Bang"

As Mu Xi gently closed the ward door, a ghostly figure silently appeared behind Su Mo.

Then Su Mo's vision went black as someone covered her eyes from behind.

"My lord, you're such a womanizer! Aren't I enough for you?"
