Douluo: Wuhun Eats Iron Beast, Never Become a Slave

Chapter 146 A Joke (Part 2)

A spirit ring that's over 100,000 years old, almost 200,000 years old?!

Looking at Zhao Mu before him, Dugu Bo was shocked by Zhao Mu's ambition for the first time.

A 100,000-year spirit ring is already something many people crave but cannot obtain, yet Zhao Mu seems to have already looked down on 100,000-year spirit rings and has set his sights on even higher age limits.

However, Dugu Bo felt that Zhao Mu might be able to do it.

He had witnessed the entire process of Zhao Mu cultivating immortal herbs. If this continued, Zhao Mu could cultivate immortal herbs of even higher ages, perhaps even 200,000 years.

What Dugu Bo didn't know was that Zhao Mu's ambitions might not be limited to that.

Zhao Mu merely stated that a soul spirit of a 200,000-year-old soul beast can be an orange soul spirit; this does not mean that this is Zhao Mu's ultimate goal.

Tens of thousands of years later, some people possessed multiple souls, including some that were six or seven hundred thousand years old.

Therefore, Zhao Mu's goal is not limited to two hundred thousand years; naturally, the higher the better.

In fact, as his strength increased, Zhao Mu even began to look down on his previous spirit rings.

Black and White's first ring is Thunder Bamboo, which is only a thousand years old. Even after being tempered by heavenly lightning, it is now at most a ten-thousand-year soul ring, still quite a distance from a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

If the Thunder Bamboo, which has been tempered by heavenly lightning, is like this, then the Ironclad Bamboo Shoot of the Mountain, which has not received any enhancement or amplification, is even more pathetic with only a thousand years of cultivation.

Even the immortal herbs obtained from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well seem to have great potential for improvement.

At this moment, Zhao Mu was even thinking about how to replace them...

If Dugu Bo knew what Zhao Mu was thinking at this moment, he would definitely be shocked and would be eager to ask Zhao Mu for help.

If he could change his spirit rings, Dugu Bo would naturally want to as well.

Changing the soul ring was just a passing thought for Zhao Mu; he didn't yet have the ability to do it.

After Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan obtained their souls, the group began to cultivate in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

After all, the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is just a few months away, and Dugu Yan is eager to show her skills, especially since she is the captain this time, not Yu Tianheng!
During this time, Zhao Wuji also returned from the family. Zhao Mu was unaware of what had happened when Zhao Wuji returned to the Zhao family, only knowing that the family had agreed to Zhao Wuji's idea of ​​protecting Zhao Mu personally.

This is not surprising, after all, apart from Zhao Mu, Zhao Wuji is currently the strongest fighter in the Zhao family.

"Mu'er, your soul power has reached level eighty... eighty?!"

Because he was Zhao Mu's uncle, Dugu Bo allowed Zhao Wuji to integrate into his inner circle.

At this moment, in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, feeling the unfathomable fluctuations of soul power emanating from Zhao Mu, and hearing about Zhao Mu's soul power level, Zhao Wuji was naturally so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

A few months ago, when Zhao Mu fought Shrek Academy, he was only level 60. Now he has reached level 80. This exaggerated level is probably what makes him worthy of the name of monster! Compared to him, those little kids from Shrek Academy are like stars compared to the sun and moon, or a nag compared to a Qilin. There is no comparison at all.

He still wants to protect Zhao Mu, but the question is, can he protect him now?
Seeing Zhao Wuji's shocked expression, Dugu Bo felt as if he had found a kindred spirit.

This was just the beginning for Zhao Wuji; Dugu Bo had already lost count of how many times he had been shocked since he started interacting with Zhao Mu.

With the successful research on the soul spirit, Zhao Mu naturally wouldn't treat Zhao Wuji unfairly. After all, his second uncle, whom he had taken for granted, would need to stay by his side to protect him, and his strength couldn't be too weak.

Zhao Wuji's current soul power level is level 76, which is not yet at the level to absorb and obtain a soul ring.

However, this did not stump Zhao Mu. The difference of four levels was nothing more than the difference of eating one more immortal herb.

After consuming the Refined Immortal Herb, Zhao Wuji's soul power level reached level eighty.

As for Zhao Wuji's choice of soul spirit, Zhao Mu chose the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, which has the effects of strengthening bones and muscles and promoting the flow of Qi through the meridians.

Since Zhao Wuji was going to protect Zhao Mu at all times, he would naturally stay by Zhao Mu's side for a long time. Therefore, the spirit of Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju, Xiao Ju, also agreed to sign a spirit contract with Zhao Wuji.

With the signing of the Soul Contract, Zhao Wuji successfully obtained a 100,000-year Soul Ring, raising his Soul Power level to the 85th level Soul Douluo.

Although he had only just entered the Soul Douluo level, with the boost from the immortal herb and the 100,000-year soul ring, Zhao Wuji's combat power was enough to rank among the top Soul Douluo level.

"Second Uncle, when the time is right, we can take some of the younger members of the family out to gain experience. The family cannot always live in the shadows."

When Zhao Mu left, did you remember that Second Master asked him to pave the way for the family? Now that he has performed well as the scout, it might be time to put the Zhao family's comeback on the agenda.

Zhao Wuji nodded with a complicated expression. The reason why the Zhao family had been hiding was entirely because he had offended the Spirit Hall when he was young and impetuous. Now that Zhao Mu intended to lead the Zhao family to make a comeback and return to the world of spirit masters, he was actually atoning for his sins.

"Mu'er, the Zhao family is so lucky to have you! The Zhao family has produced a dragon!"

……

After cultivating at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for a period of time, Zhao Mu returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

The change in appearance naturally caused a little trouble. In the end, it was Dugu Yan who testified that convinced everyone that the tall, handsome young man with long red hair was actually the bear king Zhao Mu who overpowered everyone.

The news that Zhao Mu's appearance had changed drastically and that he had become even more handsome and good-looking naturally became a hot topic at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

During this period, many female students dared to ask Zhao Mu how he got plastic surgery, after all, loving beauty is a girl's nature.

Zhao Mu's success naturally made them envious.

Fortunately, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling shielded him from these troubles.

"Huh? You really are Zhao Mu? Everyone's been saying you've changed a lot in appearance and become even more handsome. I didn't expect it to be true!"

At Zhao Mu's residence, Ning Rongrong rested her chin on her hand, staring at Zhao Mu with curiosity.

Others were afraid of Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling and dared not come to Zhao Mu again, but Ning Rongrong was not afraid, relying solely on her status as the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Coincidentally, Zhao Mu also had something to discuss with Ning Rongrong.

"Your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School should be able to gather all the materials on the list I gave you some time ago, right?"

Besides the improvement of his strength, the condensation of the Seven Weapons also tugged at Zhao Mu's heartstrings. Especially now that he already had Xiao Wu's corpse as his spiritual bone, he only needed to gather those metal materials to try to condense one of the Seven Weapons, the Nine Li Radiant Sky Banner.

Zhao Mu was also very curious about what effects a weapon made from so many precious materials would have.

"What? Are you planning to tell me how to make support-type Soul Masters combat-ready?" Ning Rongrong asked when Zhao Mu mentioned the batch of materials.

However, Ning Rongrong, whose mind had just started to wander, felt her spirits plummet the moment she saw Zhao Mu shake his head slightly.

“Since you haven’t told me what you want, how can we possibly give you such a large batch of materials? Even if our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is incredibly wealthy and powerful, we would never give you that batch of things for free!” Zhao Mu said calmly, “It’s not a free gift, it’s a transaction! I can buy these materials from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, even at a price higher than the market price!”

Having acquired the ability to obtain gold dust, Zhao Mu is now completely flush with cash, so anything that can be accomplished with money is not a problem for him.

The reason for trading these materials with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is simply that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has a complete range of items, is close by, and is convenient.

Otherwise, Zhao Mu would have to collect them little by little from outside, or go to Gengxin City in the Star Luo Empire to buy them.

"You want to buy this batch of materials? You've struck it rich? These materials aren't cheap, can you really afford them?" Ning Rongrong, who knew the price of the materials well, couldn't help but be surprised when she heard that Zhao Mu actually intended to buy them.

"Since I said I wanted to buy, I naturally have real money to spare!"

Seeing Zhao Mu's confident expression, Ning Rongrong, though puzzled as to where he got so much money, said, "If we're really going to make a deal, my word isn't enough; we need my father's approval."

……

The next day.

Zhao Mu, Dugu Bo, and Zhao Wuji went to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School under Ning Rongrong's guidance.

Fortunately, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was not far from Tiandou City. In less than half an hour, the group arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's headquarters.

As the wealthiest sect on the continent, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's infrastructure is indeed luxurious and grand.

Upon hearing that his beloved daughter had brought Zhao Mu and Dugu Bo back, Ning Fengzhi's first thought was that his daughter had managed to win Zhao Mu's heart and was now coming back to meet the parents.
However, after thinking that Dugu Bo was also following, Ning Fengzhi became somewhat uncertain again.

However, Ning Fengzhi still brought Sword Bone Douluo out to meet the guests as soon as possible.

Ning Fengzhi must give sufficient attention and respect to both Zhao Mu and Dugu Bo, who is a titled Douluo.

After all, in this world, it's never a bad thing to have more friends and fewer enemies.

"Mr. Zhao Mu, it's been quite a while since we last met at the auction."

"Back then, I regretted that Rongrong couldn't be classmates with Mr. Zhao Mu. I never expected that today, when we meet again, my regret has become a reality."

"I've spoiled Rongrong a lot, so I hope Mr. Zhao Mu will be understanding in our future interactions!"

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Dugu Bo naturally knew what the other party was planning.

When Zhao Wuji saw that Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, one of the three upper sects, treated Zhao Mu with such respect, he was not only shocked but also felt honored.

"Since we're classmates, I'll naturally help with some trivial matters if I can." Zhao Mu emphasized the words "trivial matters" because he was afraid that Ning Fengzhi, that old fox, would use this to put him in a difficult position.

Ning Fengzhi and the Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo beside him naturally understood Zhao Mu's meaning.

"I heard from Rongrong that Mr. Zhao Mu is planning to pay for the previous batch of materials this time?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

Seeing Zhao Mu nod, Ning Fengzhi continued, "Mr. Zhao Mu, this batch of materials is quite expensive..."

Boom!
However, before Ning Fengzhi could finish speaking, Zhao Mu first ran his hand across the soul tool and took out a series of large boxes from it.

Large boxes were lined up in the reception hall, with the top box being directly lifted by Zhao Mu to reveal neatly arranged gold bricks.

"Sect Leader Ning, is this enough? If not, I can add more!"

For Zhao Mu, these gold bricks were simply a matter of consuming more soul power.

Everyone except Dugu Bo was shocked when they saw the boxes of gold bricks in front of them.

Even Zhao Wuji was surprised that Zhao Mu was so rich.

You've really made something of yourself!

Sword Douluo was the first to react. He went to the center of the hall, picked up a gold brick, tossed it around in his hand, and then put it down again. He then turned to Ning Fengzhi and nodded slightly.

Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly; he hadn't expected Zhao Mu to actually be able to come up with such a large sum of money.

Was it sponsored by Prince Xuexing?
If so, then Prince Xuexing is truly suffering a huge loss.

Ning Fengzhi originally intended to use these materials to build a relationship with Zhao Mu, and even more so, to obtain Zhao Mu's method for making support-type Soul Masters stronger.

But now that Zhao Mu has taken out this money, Ning Fengzhi has suddenly lost all his cards.

Hearing Zhao Mu's boastful remarks, Ning Fengzhi hesitated for a moment before putting on a warm smile again and saying:

“Mr. Zhao Mu, there’s really no need for you to go to such lengths. My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can even give you those materials for free! I just hope that Mr. Zhao Mu can clear up your doubts.”

Zhao Mu shook his head slightly: "Transactions are based on the principle of equal value. In my opinion, what Ning Zong wants is far more valuable than this price!"

Since the topic had already been brought up, Ning Fengzhi stopped with the small talk and went straight to the point: "Mr. Zhao Mu, please name your price regarding the method for support-type Soul Masters to gain combat power! What do you need our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to give in order for you to hand it over to us!"

Looking directly at Ning Fengzhi, Zhao Mu chuckled and said, "I'm always generous to my own people, and Sister Lingling is one of them, so I can even help her for free."

Ning Fengzhi felt that Zhao Mu was not easy to deal with, and he even found it hard to believe that Zhao Mu's performance today was really that of a boy who was not even ten years old.
"Mr. Zhao Mu, what do you mean by 'one of us'? Or how can one become one of our own?"

Zhao Mu looked at Ning Fengzhi and said calmly, "To be used by me, to obey my orders, or to put it another way, to submit to me."

hum!
As soon as Zhao Mu finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze, as if the air itself had solidified.

The smiles on Ning Fengzhi and Sword Bone Douluo's faces vanished instantly, and the three of them stared at Zhao Mu with solemn expressions.

Two powerful pressures instantly descended upon Zhao Mu, emanating from Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

However, these two oppressive forces were quickly weakened.

No, it's that most of the pressure was blocked and diverted.

Because when Sword Bone Douluo put pressure on Zhao Mu, Dugu Bo and Zhao Wuji also stood in front of Zhao Mu.

“Dad…” Ning Rongrong was surprised that things had turned out so well. Why did Zhao Mu have to talk such nonsense? How dare he ask the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to submit?
After a brief standoff, Ning Fengzhi's cold expression relaxed: "Mr. Zhao Mu, you really know how to joke."

Zhao Mu smiled as if nothing had happened.

"maybe."
