Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 27 Zhao Wuji: I was stunned by a Soul Emperor?

Lin Mu stored the Eight Spider Lances into his storage soul tool, then transformed into a hurricane and disappeared from the spot.

Traveling at full speed, one can teleport a kilometer in a second, and return to the previous hotel in just a few minutes.

I learned from the hotel owner that Tang San and Xiao Wu were in a room upstairs.

Inside the room, Xiao Wu was lying on the bed. Although the poison from the human-faced spider had been neutralized, she still needed to rest.

Seeing his master enter, Tang San was both surprised and delighted. His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. He said, "Master, it's so good that you're alright."

How is Xiao Wu?

Lin Mu waved his hand, his expression indifferent.

"Thanks to Master's medicine, the toxins in Xiao Wu's body have been cleared."

Tang San's eyes were filled with gratitude. If his master hadn't stayed behind to cover their retreat, neither he nor Xiao Wu would have been able to escape from the Titan Giant Ape.

"Thank you, Brother Lin Mu~"

Xiao Wu looked up at Lin Mu, her voice weak, her eyes filled with gratitude, but deep down there was still a hint of indescribable complexity.

She vaguely sensed that something big had happened deep in the forest, and the feeling of unease lingered, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Lin Mu was already used to being called Xiao Wu; this 100,000-year-old rabbit just liked to act young.

"Xiao San, after Xiao Wu has rested for two days, we will set off for Tian Dou City."

"Master, are you in such a hurry?"

"The main purpose of this trip to Tiandou City is to get you into the Tiandou Royal Academy. It has the best simulated training environment, so the sooner you go, the better."

Lin Mu explained simply.

Compared to the impoverished Shrek Academy, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy has everything it needs, except for its students.

However, the worse the students are, the more Tang San can improve.

Seeing that his master had made up his mind, Tang San naturally had no objections. As long as his master and Xiao Wu could stay by his side, that was enough.

Two days later, the three hired a carriage and headed towards Tiandou City.

Meanwhile, after helping Oscar obtain his third spirit ring, Zhao Wuji led the students back to Shrek Academy.

"Little Ao, how's it going? What's your third soul skill?"

When asked by Flander, Oscar avoided eye contact, somewhat embarrassed to show his soul skill.

At this moment, Zhao Wuji sighed and explained, "Dean, I originally planned to add a Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent spirit ring to Xiao Ao, which might give him a flying spirit skill."

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Xiaogang, with an air of mastery, interrupted him, nodding slightly and saying:
"The Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent is indeed a good choice. If Oscar absorbs it, he will most likely gain a short-duration flight-type soul skill. For a food-type soul master who lacks self-defense capabilities, it is indeed an excellent choice."

Hearing this, Oscar's disappointment deepened.

At the same time, Zhao Wuji's expression grew increasingly grim, and he said irritably, "But unfortunately, the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent was subdued by other Soul Masters first."

Upon hearing this, Flander frowned, a hint of displeasure in his voice, and said, "Old Zhao, don't you know how to snatch? Unless the opponent is also a Soul Saint, they're definitely no match for you." "Snatch?"

Zhao Wuji forced a bitter smile, saying helplessly, "If it were a Soul Saint, it would be fine; with my strength, I might be able to compete. But the strength that person displayed is far more than just that of a Soul Saint!"

"Not a Soul Saint? Could he be a Soul Douluo? He can't possibly be a Title Douluo, can he?"

Flander's expression changed abruptly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Zhao Wuji didn't reply, but nodded solemnly. That terrifying power that completely overwhelmed him was most likely from a Title Douluo.

Upon seeing this, Flander's pupils contracted sharply, and he confirmed again, "It really is a Title Douluo?!"

"Without using any soul skills, that lord completely overwhelmed me with sheer strength. Even if he wasn't a Title Douluo, he was definitely one of the strongest Soul Douluos."

Only then did Flander notice the bruises on Zhao Wuji's face that hadn't completely faded, and hurriedly asked, "You didn't offend this important person, did you?"

Hearing this, Zhao Wuji pointed to the injury on his face and said with a displeased look, "Offended? Humph! It's all thanks to the school rules you set that Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun dared to provoke that esteemed disciple, and ended up getting punished instead!"

"I've used up all my savings to appease that lord's anger! Flander, you have to pay me back!"

Upon hearing that he had to pay compensation, Flander's eyes widened, and he said somewhat awkwardly, "Old Zhao, we're brothers, talking about money hurts our relationship. You know the situation at the academy, it's so poor we're almost starving."

"If you don't have money, what kind of college are you opening? Do you expect me to pay to work here?"

Just as the two were arguing, Yu Xiaogang suddenly asked, "Teacher Zhao, is there anything special about this powerful person?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji thought for a moment and said, "This Your Majesty looks to be no more than twenty years old. His talent is simply unimaginable. By the way, his disciple is a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master who is already a Soul Venerable at a young age."

"Blue Silver Grass Soul Master"

Yu Xiaogang's pupils suddenly contracted, his face turned deathly pale, and he staggered back two steps.

After regaining his footing, he muttered to himself, "How is this possible? Could it really be that guy Lin Mu? He's so strong, he could even easily defeat Zhao Wuji, a Soul Saint."

If that person really is Lin Mu, doesn't that mean Shrek Academy isn't safe either?

Flander noticed Yu Xiaogang's unusual behavior and quickly patted him on the shoulder, asking in surprise, "Xiaogang, you don't know this powerful person, do you?"

“Boss Fu, I think I know this person. If he really is the Lin Mu I know, then he is definitely not a Soul Douluo, much less a Title Douluo. At most, he is just a Soul Emperor!”

Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, barely managing to steady himself, and spoke in as calm a tone as possible.

"Soul Emperor?" Flander and Zhao Wuji were both taken aback.

Yu Xiaogang nodded firmly, trying to appear calm, and said, "That's right. He's only in his early twenties. How could he possibly have cultivated to the level of Soul Saint or higher? I just didn't expect him to be able to defeat Zhao Wuji."

Upon hearing this, Flander breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "So it was just a Soul Emperor. You scared me to death! I knew it. How could there be a Title Douluo in his twenties? Would that leave us old guys with nothing to live for?"

At this point, he turned to look at Zhao Wuji, and said with a hint of reproach:

"Old Zhao, I think you were just stunned this time and misjudged the situation. Your opponent might have used some special methods to catch you off guard. If you had decisively used your Martial Soul True Body from the beginning and gone all out, how could a Soul Emperor like him be a match for you!"
