Douluo: Wuhun Eats Iron Beast, Never Become a Slave

Chapter 158 You have a child? !

The Soul Master Competition is in full swing.

With matches every day, this tight schedule could last for a month.

During this period, Zhao Mu did not even go to the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena to watch a single match, not even the match of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's second team.

In Zhao Mu's view, this level of competition was nothing more than children playing house.

Adults should have things to do.

In the dormitory.

Zhao Mu patted Zhu Zhuqing on the bed, and she immediately got up. Although she was still a little shy, she had already gotten used to dressing in front of Zhao Mu in a very open and generous manner.

After all, I've experienced everything that needed to be seen, touched, and used.

Zhao Mu also put on his student uniform.

"Are you going to watch the academy's match? I heard that the academy's opponent today is Blazing Fire Academy, which is very strong. So far, they've only lost to Thunder Academy." Zhu Zhuqing said softly after tidying her clothes.

Zhao Mu shook his head: "No, no one will be a match for the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the preliminary rounds!"

It wasn't that Zhao Mu was confident, but rather that he had already given Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling such a huge advantage, so if they still couldn't advance with a perfect record, it would be too unreasonable!
Unlike Zhao Mu, Zhu Zhuqing would occasionally go to watch the battles, and through watching these past few days, she discovered many strong students.

This includes not only the students from Blazing Fire Academy she just mentioned, but also those from Elephant Armor Academy, Thunder Academy, Divine Wind Academy, and Heavenly Water Academy.

Especially at Tianshui Academy, which is full of girls, all of whom are beautiful. As women themselves, their outstanding appearances, coupled with their strong abilities, dealt a heavy blow to Zhu Zhuqing.

These beings, whom he could not match, were nothing in Zhao Mu's eyes. Judging from Zhao Mu's relaxed tone, they were no match for Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

With Zhao Mu's help, can he really become that strong?
"Come on, I'll take you somewhere."

After tidying everything up, Zhao Mu said to Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing subconsciously asked, "Where to?"

When people have close physical contact, it can really bring them closer together.

"I'll take you to improve your skills."

"Didn't you say you would wait for me to become the Empress of the Star Luo Empire?"

"At your current cultivation progress, how long would it take me to become the Empress of the Star Luo Empire? Considering how well you've performed these past few days, I'll give you a hand for now."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing felt a moment of joy followed by a greater sense of melancholy.

He finally got the chance to become stronger, something Ning Rongrong had never had before.

But in order to become stronger, I have paid a lot of price, and I am no longer the same person I used to be.

Especially considering her good behavior these past few days, these words made Zhu Zhuqing feel extremely ashamed.

After taking Zhu Zhuqing out of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Zhao Mu did not take her to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, but instead took her to a secluded mountain stream.

The existence of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is too special. Perhaps Zhao Mu will take Zhu Zhuqing to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in the future, but it is not possible now.

Upon arriving at the mountain stream, looking at the jagged cliffs around them, Zhu Zhuqing guessed, "Is this where we're going to have special training?"

In Zhu Zhuqing's view, as an agility-type Soul Master, training in speed and flexibility on this cliff face might be a good option.

"You're overthinking it!" Zhao Mu directly refuted Zhu Zhuqing's guess. "Hard work is worthless in the face of cheating!"

"I brought you here not for special training, but to let you absorb a treasure. Although most students have gone to watch the Soul Master Competition, there are still some students staying at the academy. In order to avoid the noise you make while absorbing the treasure from being noticed, I specially brought you to this remote place."

"So that's how it is." Only then did Zhu Zhuqing realize that she had been overthinking things, and at the same time, she became even more curious about what kind of treasure Zhao Mu wanted her to absorb.

However, due to her personality, she wouldn't ask directly, but simply waited quietly for Zhao Mu to take it out.

"Your current soul power level is level 36, right? Eat this first!" After spending the past few days together, Zhao Mu already knew Zhu Zhuqing's soul power level, and immediately took out a fairy herb.

With this immortal herb as a foundation, Zhu Zhuqing will soon be able to raise her soul power level to level forty.

Although Zhu Zhuqing didn't recognize the herb Zhao Mu handed her, she could tell it was extraordinary.

After thanking him, he took the medicine as Zhao Mu instructed and began to absorb it.

As Zhu Zhuqing gradually absorbed the medicinal power of the immortal herb, her own soul power fluctuations became increasingly intense and powerful.

It took Zhu Zhuqing a full half-day to refine and absorb all the energy of the immortal herb.

Upon waking from the absorption, Zhu Zhuqing immediately discovered that her soul power level had increased from level thirty-six to level forty.

She now seemed to vaguely understand why the people around Zhao Mu were all so strong. In just half a day, their soul power level had increased by four levels. If she were to cultivate on her own, no matter how hard she worked, it would take her six months to a year.

Effort is truly... in the face of cheating.

"How are you feeling? Your soul power level should have reached level 40 by now, right?" Zhao Mu asked casually after giving Zhu Zhuqing a quick glance.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded: "My soul power level has indeed reached level 40, so will you help me hunt for my fourth soul ring?"

Hunting for spirit rings is usually the responsibility of teachers or elders, but in Zhu Zhuqing's opinion, Zhao Mu should be fully capable of helping her hunt for the fourth spirit ring.

However, Zhu Zhuqing saw Zhao Mu shake his head slightly, and for a moment, an indescribable sense of loss welled up in her heart.

Zhao Mu was unaware of Zhu Zhuqing's inner turmoil, and continued, "Do you want a 100,000-year soul ring?"

Do you want a 100,000-year soul ring?
These incredibly seductive words seemed to possess boundless penetrating power, causing Zhu Zhuqing to forget her disappointment and her delicate, pretty face to become even more fascinating.

"A hundred thousand year soul ring?"

Of course she wanted a 100,000-year spirit ring, and Zhu Zhuqing also longed for it when she saw Dugu Yan's 100,000-year spirit ring.

However, Zhu Zhuqing also knew the value of a 100,000-year spirit ring, so even though she was with Zhao Mu, she didn't dare to speak up. Moreover, a 100,000-year spirit ring was extremely rare, and having one was already very lucky. How could there possibly be another one?

But Zhao Mu's question instantly stirred his interest again.

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing remained silent, Zhao Mu continued, "Don't you want it?"

"Yes!" As if afraid that Zhao Mu would change his mind, Zhu Zhuqing blurted out in a moment of panic.

After saying that, Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.

Zhao Mu then took out a fairy herb from his soul tool that could hold living beings. On the fairy herb, a little girl named Lan Xixi instantly came to life, flew directly to Zhao Mu, hugged his neck, and happily called him "Daddy".

When Zhu Zhuqing heard the little child call Zhao Mu "Dad," and thought about Zhao Mu's behavior over the past few days, she felt inexplicably disappointed. Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "You have a child?!"
