In Douluo Continent, his martial soul mutated into Blue Silver Grass.

Chapter 221 How about a 100,000-year-old soul ring?

Unbeknownst to them, their Beast Academy had gone from having no Title Douluo experts to now having two.

In terms of high-end combat power, their Beast Academy is already comparable to the three upper sects. However, they are still quite a bit weaker than the true three upper sects. In terms of mid-level combat power, they only have one Chaotianxiang, one Soul Emperor teacher, and a few Soul King teachers. Oh, and there's also Lin Hai, the Soul King. Feng Xiaotian can be included for now.

"Teacher, I was prepared for this."

"Teacher, do you know about the Destroyer Clan?"

"The Shattering Clan, the Soul-Shattering Spear?"

"Of course I know them. They were one of the four major families affiliated with Haotian back then, but they've had a tough time these past few years because of Tang Nianhao."

"The Spirit Hall suppressed the Clear Sky Sect, but the Clear Sky Sect closed its gates and refused to come out. However, the four major affiliated families of the Clear Sky Sect were implicated by the Clear Sky Sect." Meng Shu sighed.

"What, you want to recruit the Broken Clan into our academy?"

"Yes, you have that idea?"

"Since you already have a plan in mind, then go ahead and do it. I'll back you up."

"Your teacher and I are both getting old. The academy will have to rely on you in the future."

"good!"

"..." The atmosphere at the scene fell silent again.

Meng Shu thought Lin Hai had finished speaking, but seeing that Lin Hai still showed no sign of leaving, he knew that Lin Hai still had something to say.

"If you have anything else to say, just say it already!" Meng Shu said helplessly. Lin Hai was, after all, his student; what else could he do? Spoil him!

"Teacher, the academy's reputation is rising, and we'll have more and more students in the future. Isn't our current space a bit insufficient?"

"Hmm? You've reminded me of something. I hadn't thought about it yet!" Meng Shu was taken aback. He had indeed forgotten about this matter. His thinking hadn't fully broken through to the perspective of a Title Douluo.

"You're saying you already have this idea in mind?"

"I think we can rebuild a campus."

"Oh? Rebuild the school." Meng Shu was secretly pleased, but then he shook his head and rejected the suggestion.

"Rebuilding the school would be a good thing, but not now."

"Xiao Hai! It's good that young people are ambitious, but there's one thing you mustn't forget!"

"The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind!"

"Our Beast Academy has been performing exceptionally well recently. First, I, a Title Douluo, was the leader, and then the Beast Academy defeated the Spirit Hall to win the championship of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament."

"We've practically made it onto the Spirit Hall's list."

"Besides, your situation is also very dangerous right now. Tang Hao doesn't know when he will make a move against you."

"Given Tang Hao's arrogance as the Haotian Douluo, it's highly unlikely he'll use your family to threaten you."

Lin Hai: "Actually, I know that, but I'm just afraid of the worst-case scenario."

"He is now severely injured after being besieged by the Spirit Hall, and he also has his precious son, Tang San, by his side."

"There is now a very high probability that Tang Hao will recuperate while training his son to cultivate Tang San's second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer."

"Therefore, I guess Tang Hao won't make a move against me anytime soon."

"And teacher, I'm about to break through to the Soul Emperor realm!"

"After the breakthrough, my mental strength will be able to advance even further."

When Lin Hai mentioned this, Meng Shu recalled the terrifying mental attack Lin Hai had launched some time ago.

"With the effects of the immortal herbs, Fiery Apricot and Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, my cultivation speed is not slow at all."

"I think that once I break through to the Soul Saint level, I will be able to escape from Tang Hao if I encounter him, and with either you or the Poison Old Man protecting me."

"All of this is based on strength!" Lin Hai raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist.

"Whether it's avoiding Tang Hao's threat or building the Beast Academy into the number one advanced soul master academy on the continent, strong strength is the key."

Meng Shu stroked his beard, looking at Lin Hai with a gratified expression, "I am very pleased that you can see through this."

"I still have the strength to protect you as you grow, so you must work hard to grasp your own future! The future of the Beast Academy is also in your hands."

"Teacher, it's like this, when I go out to gain experience, I want to send my family to Tiandou City."

"Tian Dou City is the capital of the Tian Dou Empire, and I am also acquainted with Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Tian Dou Empire. It's like a layer of protection!"

"I'm afraid that if Tang Hao really attacks me and I escape, he'll become desperate and, in order to help his son's spirit evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor, he'll violate the unspoken rules of the spirit master world and attack my family."

"Actually, I've come to this realization over time. You don't need to worry so much. Unless you kill his son, Tang Hao would never harm your family."

"Although Tang Hao is arrogant and even tried to harm you for his son's sake, which is disgusting, he is also someone who values ​​the reputation of his sect very much."

"If Tang Hao hadn't valued the sect so much, he would have returned to the Clear Sky Sect long ago. Compared to him hiding from the Spirit Hall's pursuit alone, he would have been safer in the Clear Sky Sect."

"Uh..." Lin Hai really hadn't thought about that. Ever since he learned that Tang Hao already knew about his martial soul becoming the Blue Silver Emperor and that Tang Hao had his eye on him, Tang Hao's image in Lin Hai's mind was no different from that of an evil soul master.

It's the kind of person who will stop at nothing to do things.

However, despite Meng Shu's words, Lin Hai still planned to move his family to Tian Dou City.

Not to mention that Tang Hao will be furious when he discovers that the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone has been stolen, and will immediately suspect him.

Not long after, Lin Hai plotted to get the 100,000-year-old rabbit. If he succeeded, Tang San would find out about it.

With new grudges and old hatreds combined, given Tang San's life motto of "you have already chosen your own death," coupled with his ruthless methods and complete lack of morality, he will definitely try every means to take revenge on me and my family.

Lin Hai didn't dare to gamble at all. There were some things he had done and knew about, but Meng Shu didn't know, which was why Meng Shu said those things.

However, since Meng Shu had just given him some pointers, he also needed to get to know Tang Hao again.

Lin Hai pondered to himself, "It seems I've been too evasive. I care too much about my family; this is my weakness, and it's unavoidable."

"However, I... don't dislike this weakness!" Lin Hai's lips curled up subtly. He had always longed for the affection of his family.

Protecting family ties will make him stronger.

Lin Hai wouldn't give up on the family relocation, but he could postpone it. After he helped Qian Renxue capture the rabbit, his family would definitely move to Tiandou City.

With the old poison master keeping an eye on things openly, and with Uncle Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo secretly around, that should be enough.

"Well, teacher, there's one more thing we can discuss, something about our aspirations for the future!"

"We can choose a location for the new Beast Academy in advance."

"Hahaha, as expected of my student, you have ambition."

……

In the end, the master and apprentice still couldn't reach a consensus. They had different ideas about which option to choose and concerns about which one to choose. In their haste, they didn't come up with anything. Moreover, Lin Hai hadn't come to Meng Shu with this purpose in mind, so he wasn't well prepared.

The two of them acted on a whim, without any preparation or consultation, yet they still managed to achieve a good result.

……

Six months later, Lin Hai, who was steadily cultivating at the Beast Academy, received a letter from Qian Renxue. Of course, it was signed Xue Qinghe.

Lin Hai opened the envelope and saw that it asked him to help obtain a soul ring.

Half a year has passed, and Lin Hai's soul power has reached level 59. He is only one step away from becoming a level 60 Soul Emperor.

Lin Hai had promised, so he had no choice. He asked Meng Shu for leave, but Meng Shu was worried about Lin Hai going out alone. After discussing it with Dugu Bo, Dugu Bo took the initiative to go with Lin Hai.

Several days later, he and Dugu Bo arrived at the place they had arranged to meet Qian Renxue in advance.

"So you've come to the Star Dou Great Forest? Have you already broken through?"

"Not yet, but it will be soon."

"Kid, now that we're here, there's no need to hide anything anymore!" Dugu Bo said, arms crossed, looking at Lin Hai.

"Alright, old poisoner, I promised to help someone hunt for a spirit ring."

"Actually, you didn't have to come along."

"Ha, you brat, do you look down on this old man?"

"..."

"Never mind, having you come along might make the hunt for spirit rings easier."

In Lin Hai's original plan, he intended to use some methods to lure the 100,000-year-old rabbit out of the core area and away from the Azure Sky Bull Python, which had long resided in the Lake of Life in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

Although the 100,000-year-old Titan Ape will accompany Xiao Wu.

Taking advantage of their inattention, the ghost suddenly snatched Xiao Wu away and handed her over to Lin Hai and the others.

Then, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo used their spirit fusion skill, the Two Extremes Forbidden Domain, to control the Titan Giant Ape. After he and Qian Renxue captured Xiao Wu, they immediately fled.

With other backup plans and trump cards, escaping shouldn't be a problem. At that time, with Chrysanthemum Douluo's strength having already broken through to Super Douluo, joining forces with Ghost Douluo to stop two 100,000-year-old soul beasts shouldn't be an issue.

This is why Lin Hai gave the Qi Rong Tong Tian Chrysanthemum to Yue Guan in advance. With this perfectly matched immortal herb, Yue Guan obtained the Vajra Indestructible Body. In terms of true strength, he was even comparable to a level 97 Super Douluo in the Hall of Offerings.

"You'll find out when the time comes, old man!" Lin Hai said, keeping everyone in suspense.

Lin Hai knew Dugu Bo quite well; he was carefree by nature and wouldn't mind knowing Qian Renxue's true identity.

……

Within a few days, Qian Renxue arrived, bringing Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo with her, and they quietly entered Lin Hai's room. Dugu Bo was not present at the time.

"You're here quite early." Qian Renxue, now back in her female form, sat opposite Lin Hai, crossed her legs, and glanced at him arrogantly. Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, who were always there to protect her, stood behind her.

Perhaps because she hadn't seen Lin Hai for a while, her thoughts about him were complicated. That's why she acted this way.

However, what Qian Renxue didn't know was that, perhaps unknowingly, Lin Hai had seen her graceful demeanor in the instant she crossed her legs.

Lin Hai: Hmm? It's actually gold. Tsk tsk tsk.

Lin Hai was treated to a feast for the eyes, but he wasn't stupid. After glancing at her, he turned his gaze back to meet Qian Renxue's raised eyes.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei, standing behind Qian Renxue, noticed the fleeting glint in Lin Hai's eyes. However, they both assumed that Lin Hai was simply amazed by Qian Renxue's beautiful face, never expecting anything else to come to mind.

"Hehe, I can't keep that beautiful and charming angel waiting for me!" Lin Hai said frankly.

"Hmm~" Lin Hai's words made Qian Renxue very satisfied.

However, Lin Hai was still very curious as to why Qian Renxue leveled up so quickly. When Qian Renxue became a Soul Emperor, he had just become a Soul King. Right now, he hadn't even broken through to Soul Emperor yet, but Qian Renxue was already level 70.

Lin Hai couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Innate level 20 soul power, terrifying indeed.

"But you seem quite relaxed!" Qian Renxue glanced at the tea-making area next to Lin Hai, where all the necessary tools were in place and the aroma of tea filled the air.

"It's nothing more than self-cultivation!"

"Now that we're here, let's not waste any more time!"

Lin Hai: "Wait a little longer. Someone I have just gone out. We'll leave when he gets back."

"Oh? I thought it was just you alone!" Qian Renxue was a little surprised. As for whether the person who came knew her or not, did it matter? As long as they didn't know that Xue Qinghe was actually Qian Renxue in disguise, that was enough.

"Oh, right, didn't you say you'd give me a big gift when I hunted down a spirit beast to get my seventh spirit ring?"

"What? Are you waiting for another surprise?"

Lin Hai calmly walked to the table where he brewed tea, picked up a cup, and savored the tea.

Qian Renxue waited for Lin Hai's reply.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei secretly thought to themselves: This kid is such a show-off! He's kind of asking for a beating.

"If I said I had a 100,000-year soul ring, would you recognize me? Am I talking nonsense?" Lin Hai finally spoke, his eyes fixed on Qian Renxue, wanting to know her reply.

"Kid, don't talk too much nonsense!" A ghostly, hoarse voice rang out.

"A 100,000-year soul ring? Hmph! There are indeed 100,000-year soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, but to think that just a few of us and you can hunt down a 100,000-year soul beast is nothing but wishful thinking."

"Yeah, brat, Old Ghost and I do know there are two 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, but we're afraid that's still not enough!"

"..."

After a moment, Qian Renxue spoke, "I believe you!"

After so many years of contact with Lin Hai, Qian Renxue knew one thing: given Lin Hai's pride, he would disdain lying.
