Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 79 Returning to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy
Meanwhile, Sword Douluo flew back to Shrek Academy on his sword.

"Uncle Jian!"

Ning Fengzhi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Sword Douluo return so quickly, presumably because he had shown mercy to Lin Mu.

In his opinion, no matter how talented Lin Mu was, he could never be a match for Uncle Jian.

Immediately, he strode forward to meet him, and only upon getting closer did he notice the injuries on Sword Douluo's body. His pupils suddenly contracted, and his face was filled with disbelief.

"Uncle Jian, your injury..."

"Sigh, I underestimated Lin Mu's strength and he ambushed me."

Sword Douluo sighed. After decades of cultivation, he had been injured to this extent by a junior. He had truly lost all face.

Although there was an element of surprise attack, it was enough to demonstrate Lin Mu's strength.

This person's talent is simply unparalleled in his life. As long as nothing unexpected happens, he will surely reach the level of Peerless Douluo in the future, or even the legendary level 100 Godhood!

"This"

Ning Fengzhi was stunned. He had not expected that Uncle Jian would be injured, and that the injury was not serious. Even Uncle Gu could not do it.

After regaining his senses, he hurriedly asked, "What about Lin Mu? Shouldn't his injuries be more serious?"

"No, he was barely injured."

"How is this possible? He's even stronger than you, Uncle Jian?"

"That's not it. It's mainly because he's too fast, far faster than me. If it were a close-quarters fight, he wouldn't be my match."

Despite this, Sword Douluo showed no arrogance whatsoever. The thought of Lin Mu's outrageous speed filled him with extreme frustration.

That turquoise armor is so sinister!

Its speed is comparable to teleportation, making it impossible to touch. It can unleash a powerful attack if you're not careful, making it incredibly sneaky.

Seeing that Uncle Jian didn't seem to be faking it, Ning Fengzhi frowned. He thought that Lin Mu was comparable to a Title Douluo, which was already the limit, but he didn't expect him to be far more than that.

If a Soul Saint already possesses such terrifying combat power, how strong will he become when he breaks through to Soul Douluo and Title Douluo?

Since we can't win them over directly, let's start with a marriage alliance.

The next morning, Ning Fengzhi, without consulting Flander, directly led Sword Douluo and Ning Rongrong to the Great Soul Arena.

He planned to personally apologize to Lin Mu and, incidentally, send Ning Rongrong to the Royal Fighting Team.

However, when they entered the Royal Fighting Team's rest room, they couldn't find Lin Mu and the others at all.

After some questioning, it was learned that the Royal Fighting Team had defeated all the Soul Master teams in Soto City, and yesterday's team battle was the last one.

At this moment, they are already on their way back to Tiandou City.

"Of all times, he had to leave."

Ning Fengzhi felt a mix of emotions. He knew the opportunity was right in front of him, but he failed to seize it.

In his view, if Lin Mu and Rongrong were together, not only would they be able to protect the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's legacy, but they might even be able to take the title of the number one school in the world.

“Feng Zhi, why don’t I take Rong Rong to chase after them?” Sword Douluo suggested.

The dormitories at Shrek Academy are really shabby, and the teaching quality is not good either. Especially that Yu Xiaogang, whose soul power is only level 29. How can such a piece of trash be a teacher?

If Ning Rongrong can join the Royal Fighting Team, she will receive Lin Mu's guidance, which will definitely be ten thousand times better than staying at Shrek Academy.

“Uncle Jian, there’s no need to trouble yourself. If Lin Mu had ever considered taking Rongrong in, he wouldn’t have left so soon.”

Ning Fengzhi shook his head helplessly. The conflict had just erupted yesterday, and now he was asking for a favor again. He knew the outcome without even thinking about it.

He wanted to apologize in person, but he missed the best opportunity.

"What about Rongrong? Will she stay at Shrek Academy?"

"I've already inquired with Dean Flander. They plan to go to Blue Tyrant Academy, where the accommodations will be much better, and it's also in Heaven Dou City. We'll find another opportunity later."

Ning Fengzhi's eyes flashed. In fact, given his status, he could easily arrange for Ning Rongrong to join the Royal Fighting Team.

However, doing so would undoubtedly provoke Lin Mu's resentment, and even if Ning Rongrong joined the Royal Fighting Team, she would face rejection. Rather than that, it would be better to use Xue Qinghe's connections to discuss this matter with Lin Mu.

Two days later, after a non-stop journey, Lin Mu led the Royal Fighting Team back to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

"After this period of training, the second phase can be considered barely completed."

After a pause, Lin Mu's gaze swept over everyone, taking in their reactions, and he said calmly, "From today onwards, training is suspended, and you will have a month to rest and recuperate."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, somewhat unable to believe their ears.

In their memory, Teacher Lin Mu had always been strict, and the training intensity was several times higher than before. Why did he suddenly change today?

"Teacher Lin Mu, I think the training you arranged is very good. We have all benefited a lot, and our cultivation speed is much faster than before. Why should we stop the training?"

Yu Tianheng stepped forward and asked.

The others shared the same thought. Compared to their initial dissatisfaction with training, they had now experienced the thrill of continuous improvement in their strength and were naturally unwilling to settle for mere pleasure.

"What I mean is that the second phase of training is over, but your individual fighting spirit remains the same. This is about your own cultivation, and I don't have time to supervise it."

Lin Mu spoke calmly, as if he were simply stating a fact: he couldn't possibly take everyone to participate in Soul Battles every day, thus affecting his own cultivation.

Hearing this explanation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they could continue training, that was fine. These days, they felt uneasy if they didn't participate in the Soul Fighting Competition for even a day.

Then, Lin Mu's gaze fell on Shi Mo, Yu Feng, and Oslo, and he said in an unquestionable manner: "The three of you should focus on cultivation, break through to level 40 as soon as possible, and then go and obtain your fourth soul ring."

"Yes, Teacher Lin Mu!"

Shi Mo, Yu Feng, and Aos Luo immediately straightened their backs and responded in unison.

Zhu Zhuqing stood at the edge of the line, her cool and pretty face expressionless, only biting her lower lip tightly, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.

After a few days of adjustment, she clearly realized the gap between herself and others. Although she was relatively young, this was no excuse, after all, Tang San and Xiao Wu were only thirteen years old.

Even though Lin Mu selectively ignored her, she didn't harbor any resentment.

"Disband."

As Lin Mu finished speaking, everyone left with mixed feelings.

After finishing his team affairs, Lin Mu went straight to the Education Committee.

The three education committee members were inside the committee building when they saw Lin Mu walk in, and they all greeted him with smiles on their faces.

"Teacher Lin Mu, I heard that you led the Royal Fighting Team to sweep through the Grand Soul Arena in many cities, and they are all Soul Master level teams, and they have maintained a perfect record. With their current strength, they have a very high probability of winning the Soul Master Tournament!"

Meng Shenji bowed slightly, showing some respect.

Even if Lin Mu did not pledge allegiance to the Heaven Dou Empire, as long as he could lead the Royal Fighting Team to win the Soul Master Competition, it would still be a great achievement!
In comparison, Emperor Xueye's attitude was rather disheartening.

"You flatter me. We're still a bit short of defeating the Spirit Hall team."

After a pause, Lin Mu changed the subject and said solemnly, "Three members of the Education Committee, I am here to inform you of something. A few days ago, I removed Teacher Qin Ming from his position, and he also chose to leave the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to teach at Shrek Academy."

"what?"

The three education committee members' expressions changed slightly. Before Lin Mu took the teaching position, Qin Ming was the most outstanding teacher in the academy. It was a pity that such a promising talent had been poached.

"Sigh, he was an outstanding teacher we'd poured our hearts and souls into nurturing; we never expected this."

At this point, Meng Shenji sighed and continued, "Teacher Lin Mu, what kind of academy is Shrek Academy? I've never heard of it before."

"This is Qin Ming's alma mater. It's not very well-known in Soto City," Lin Mu explained simply.

Shrek Academy wasn't even well-known in Soto City, and it was insignificant in the entire Heaven Dou Empire.

"Well, everyone has their own ambitions. It's just a pity to waste such a promising talent for a Title Douluo."

Meng Shenji shook his head, a look of relief on his face, and then asked, "Teacher Lin Mu, do you need me to arrange another teaching assistant for you?"

"Anyone willing to do odd jobs is welcome."
