Douluo: Wuhun Eats Iron Beast, Never Become a Slave

Chapter 162 Unrequited Benefits Lead to Enmity with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School

"Why should I, Zhao Mu, need to explain my actions to others? Interesting, very interesting."

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School," Ning Fengzhi muttered with a light laugh. At this moment, he realized that he could see through Zhao Mu more and more.

It seems the other party really doesn't take my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School seriously.

Not to mention his previous outrageous remarks demanding the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's submission, this also includes his attitude towards Ning Rongrong this time.

Ning Rongrong returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in tears, after being scolded by Zhao Mu.

Although Ning Rongrong may have exaggerated the situation, Zhao Mu's attitude towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was clear.

Where does his confidence come from?
Or is he just putting on airs?
Or perhaps an arrogant and conceited fool?
The key issue is that neither Dugu Bo nor Zhao Wuji cares about it.
"Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, I want you to kill him! Kill Zhao Mu! Otherwise, I'll never speak to you again!"

Seeing Ning Rongrong's huff and puff, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, who were helpless against her, also looked troubled.

"Fengzhi, how about I go teach that brat Zhao Mu a lesson, and maybe I can help Rongrong get revenge?" Sword Douluo tentatively asked Ning Fengzhi.

Killing Zhao Mu is impossible. Zhao Mu possesses the secrets they desire, and the relationship between the two sides is not yet at a life-or-death point. Therefore, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would not kill Zhao Mu simply because of a verbal dispute between him and Ning Rongrong.

The lesson has been taught to the fullest extent.

But after the lesson, wouldn't the relationship between the two sides become even worse?
"Rongrong, your friend received Zhao Mu's help. Have you asked her how she got Zhao Mu's help? Or how Zhao Mu helped her obtain a 100,000-year soul ring?"

Upon hearing about the 100,000-year soul ring, even Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo showed some excitement.

If their soul ring slots weren't already full, they would definitely have attacked Zhao Mu for a 100,000-year soul ring.

Ning Rong kept shaking her head: "I asked! I asked her countless times, but she just wouldn't tell me!"

Ning Fengzhi kept rubbing his chin, as if he was weighing something.

After a long pause, Ning Fengzhi finally made up his mind: "Uncle Jian, let's leave Zhao Mu alone for now. Let's go and invite Rongrong's friend to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for a visit."

Taking direct action against Zhao Mu would mean a complete breakdown in relations between the two sides.

If the attack is against Zhu Zhuqing, then both sides can still leave room for reconciliation; at worst, they can just say it was a misunderstanding!

Moreover, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were originally friends.

"Dad, please don't hurt Zhuqing."

Ning Rongrong still had some conscience, and she still had some feelings for Zhu Zhuqing. After hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, she immediately reminded him.

"Don't worry, Rongrong. As long as she's willing to tell us how Zhao Mu helped her, she'll be our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's best friend."

Ning Fengzhi didn't know if his decision was right or wrong; he simply chose to gamble when faced with the prospect of profit.

Not to mention Zhu Zhuqing's soaring strength, the 100,000-year soul ring alone made Ning Fengzhi want to take a risk.

From Dugu Yan's 100,000-year soul ring to Zhu Zhuqing's 100,000-year soul ring, which was originally so rare that even the Sword Bone Douluo never possessed it, now appeared one after another. How could Ning Fengzhi not feel something was amiss? There must be a big secret hidden here, a big secret that would make any force on the continent restless.

Eyes of ice and fire.

"Second brother, do you really not take the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School seriously? Aren't you afraid of falling out with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?" Dugu Bo said to Zhao Mu after hearing that Zhao Mu had driven Ning Rongrong away.

After all, Ning Rongrong, the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's sect leader, was quite a celebrity at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. So, the fact that she was scolded by Zhao Mu and cried and ran away naturally spread throughout the academy in no time, and Dugu Bo naturally heard about it as well.

Zhao Mu, on the contrary, acted as if he didn't care.

If you have the ability, then showing off is fine. If you don't have the ability, then showing off is just asking for trouble.

He wasn't afraid of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School at all.

"Big brother, I've been farming and leveling up for so long (over a hundred chapters), can't I show off a little?"

Dugu Bo knew that Zhao Mu's strength was no weaker than his own, and might even be stronger, but there was no need to offend the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

On the contrary, Zhao Wuji was now supporting Zhao Mu.

"Why explain to others! Mu'er, those are bold words! What is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? Your second uncle supports you! If anything happens, your second uncle will stand by you!"

It's not surprising that Zhao Wuji, who dared to offend the Spirit Hall, would say such a thing.

"Second Uncle, you should hurry up and cultivate, and try to reach the strength of a Title Douluo first. That way, with you and Big Brother here, we can be considered a sect with two Title Douluos!" Zhao Mu said with a light laugh.

Hearing Zhao Mu's joke, Zhao Wuji scratched his head in embarrassment: "Mu'er, do you think your second uncle is like you? With such abnormal talent? Even with the blessing of soul spirit and immortal herbs, it would take me at least three years to cultivate from level 85 to the strength of a Title Douluo!"

"Three years. That's too long!"

For others, it would be an incredible feat to go from a level 85 Soul Douluo to a Title Douluo in three years, but in Zhao Mu's eyes, it was still not enough; the time was too long.

However, Zhao Mu also knew that Zhao Wuji's own conditions were what they were, and no amount of forcing him to grow would help, just like his second uncle's height, which was fixed.

In Zhao Mu's plan, as long as Zhao Wuji's strength reaches the level of a Title Douluo, that will be the time for the Zhao family to emerge from the mountains and reappear in the world of Soul Masters.

With the advantages of the Soul Contract and the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Immortal Grass, the Zhao family will be able to rise to prominence completely within a few years.

Feng Shui turns.

The last three sects?
My Zhao family would also like to have a seat!
After the joke, Zhao Wuji asked again, "But speaking of which, Mu'er, why did you help Zhu Zhuqing instead of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

Upon hearing Zhao Wuji speak, Dugu Bo couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen. He felt that his granddaughter had gained another competitor. Before, there was only Ye Lingling, but now there was Zhu Zhuqing as well.

"It's nothing, just a matter of personal preference," Zhao Mu replied ambiguously to Zhao Wuji's question.

However, Zhao Wuji smiled and nodded: "I also think Zhu Zhuqing is better than Ning Rongrong. Ning Rongrong has the temper of a young lady. You don't know what she was like when she first came to Shrek Academy. She even got into a fight with Flander. Besides that, if you choose her, you'll be worried that your children won't have enough to eat in the future. Zhu Zhuqing is better. She can give birth to a son!"

"Second Uncle, what are you talking about?" Zhao Mu couldn't handle this kind of care from the older generation.

While the three were chatting idly, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Upon seeing Zhao Mu, Dugu Bo, and Zhao Wuji, he said with a complicated expression, "Something happened to your little girlfriend!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mu frowned: "You mean Zhu Qing?"

Hearing Zhao Mu's address, Dugu Yan felt somewhat uncomfortable. She even had a little devil inside her and decided not to tell Zhao Mu. However, in the end, reason prevailed over evil thoughts, and she chose to come and inform Zhao Mu.

"Yes, it seems that people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School took her away, saying it was an invitation, but I heard she wasn't too willing at the time."

Instantly, the smile on Zhao Mu's face vanished, and he immediately got up and headed outside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

"Where are you going?" Dugu Yan asked instinctively with some concern.

"Go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and demand the person!"

PS: Some people might not understand the conflict here, but it's actually quite simple. Ning Fengzhi deduced that Zhao Mu possessed a major secret about obtaining a 100,000-year soul ring, a secret powerful enough to warrant the attention of any force, including the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, given the school's inherent vulnerabilities. For Zhao Mu, with his current resources and strength, there was no need for him to rely on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. So why should he help them? Thus, the conflict arose. This also foreshadows a later plot development. I'll just briefly explain it here; I hope you understand.
