Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 88 Lin Mu vs. the Royal Fighting Team
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

During this time, Lin Mu successfully broke through to level 79, just one level away from becoming a Soul Douluo. It was time to consider the matter of his eighth Soul Ring.

Without a doubt, the eighth spirit ring must be over 100,000 years old, and there are very few spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest that are over 100,000 years old.

Aside from those ferocious beasts, the only option left is probably to deal with the Azure Bull Python.

With his strength, plus Dugu Bo's assistance, dealing with the Azure Bull Python wouldn't be difficult.

As for Xiao Wu's thoughts, he didn't care much. Rather than giving her away to Bibi Dong, he'd rather absorb her himself. He could always find a way to revive her later.

However, there is a crucial problem: Lin Mu has already offended Di Tian and Bi Ji. If he were to enter the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, it would likely cause considerable trouble.

However, I've only just broken through to level 79, and it will take a lot of time to cultivate before I reach level 80. I can think of a way slowly.

That morning, Lin Mu arrived at the Royal Fighting Team's training ground on time.

After the first two phases of training, the Royal Fighting Team can be said to have undergone a transformation. Ordinary Soul Master teams are no match for them, and they can even defeat a Soul Emperor teacher.

However, they are still a little short of being able to defeat the Spirit Hall team.

In this final stage, Lin Mu planned to take charge personally, so that they would feel the pressure and break through it.

At this moment, Yu Tianheng stepped forward, looked at Lin Mu, and asked with some trepidation, "Teacher Lin Mu, how should we train next?"

A month ago, he had already made some guesses, but deep down he just couldn't believe it.

If it really is what he thinks, then the next period of training will be a nightmare.

"The Great Soul Arena is no longer suitable for you. With your current strength, even if you were to challenge a Soul Sect team again, you would hardly feel any pressure."

After a pause, Lin Mu glanced at everyone and continued, "Next, I will personally train you. As long as you can last three minutes against me, winning the championship will be no problem for you."

"what?!"

Yu Tianheng and the others' pupils suddenly contracted. Although they had expected it, they still felt a sense of panic when they actually heard these words.

What a joke!
Even Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't last three minutes against Lin Mu, so how could these people possibly withstand it?

"Is this guy crazy?"

Qian Renxue was equally incredulous. The highest-level soul power in the Royal Fighting Team was only level 43, which was far from enough to withstand Lin Mu's attack.

Seeing their reactions, Lin Mu remained calm and added, "Don't worry, I won't use my martial spirit, and I won't go too far."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, at least they didn't have to worry about their lives anymore.

Only Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan had solemn expressions. They knew best how terrifying Lin Mu's power was; even without using his martial spirit, it was beyond their ability to withstand.

Although they had cultivated to level 40 or above, they still lacked the confidence to withstand a single move from Lin Mu.

However, Lin Mu did not give them a chance to refute, and said in an unquestionable manner: "I'll give you five minutes to discuss tactics."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, completely lacking the courage to face Teacher Lin Mu.

Tang San was the first to react. He knew his master's personality very well; he was a man of his word and would take action as soon as the time was up. It would be better to think of a way to deal with it.

"Yu Tianheng, Yu Feng, and Oslo, you will be responsible for holding my master back, while I will cooperate with you to buy time for Shi Mo and Shi Mo to fuse their martial souls. Only then will we have a chance."

After hearing Tang San's plan, Yu Tianheng, Yu Feng, and Oslo's expressions changed drastically.

With their meager strength, how could they possibly stop Teacher Lin Mu? They would probably be seriously injured in just one round.

But upon further reflection, it seemed there was indeed no better way. Only when the Stone Graphite and Stone Mill Martial Souls were fully fused, and with the divine might of the Xuanwu, would they have a slight chance to resist.

"Tang San, what should I do?" Dugu Yan asked. She was somewhat resentful that Tang San's battle plan hadn't mentioned her.

“That’s right, Tang San, you didn’t arrange for Ye Lingling either. She should be the key to this training, right?” Yu Tianheng chimed in.

Tang San shook his head and said seriously, "If nothing unexpected happens, Master won't let Ye Lingling go on stage. The others will stay in the back and assist from the sidelines after Shi Mo and Shi Mo's martial souls fuse."

This was a rather euphemistic way of putting it. In reality, he felt that Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing were completely useless and were at best cannon fodder.

First of all, even if Master doesn't use his martial soul, he won't be afraid of Dugu Yan's Azure Phosphorus Serpent Venom thanks to the Qilin Fire.

Although Xiao Wu possesses the ability to teleport, her attacks are primarily close-quarters combat. As for her second soul skill, Charm, it is completely ineffective given the vast difference in their mental strength.

Zhu Zhuqing's soul power is less than level 30, not to mention...

After listening to Tang San's detailed explanation, Yu Tianheng and the others felt increasingly heavy-hearted. If Ye Lingling didn't participate, they would have even less chance of lasting three minutes.

After a moment, Yu Tianheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "In that case, we can only do as you say."

Back then, Teacher Lin Mu punched him and sent him flying. Ever since then, it has been like a dark cloud hanging over his head, and he must overcome this psychological shadow.

When the allotted time was up, Lin Mu returned to the crowd and said, "Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing, you two don't need to go on stage."

Upon hearing this arrangement, everyone's hearts sank, just as Tang San had predicted.

After a short pause, Lin Mu added, "Lingling, you can apply healing after someone is unable to continue fighting."

With the evolved Nine-Heart Begonia around, there's no need to worry about anyone getting seriously injured.

Ye Lingling readily agreed to his arrangement, but Zhu Zhuqing was unwilling and took the initiative to ask, "Teacher Lin Mu, I hope to participate in this training."

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's determined expression, Lin Mu thought for a moment and then agreed to her request.

"Training begins."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Mu had already made his move. He flashed past like a whirlwind, locking onto the nearest Yu Feng and kicking him directly in the abdomen.

"boom!!"

Before anyone could react, Yu Feng shot off like a cannonball into the distance, finally crashing heavily to the ground.

Upon seeing this, everyone's expression changed drastically. This is what you call not using too much force?

Without a second thought, Yu Tianheng and Oslo immediately rushed toward Lin Mu, trying to buy some time.

At the same time, dozens of Blue Silver Grasses had already spread to Lin Mu's feet. This two-pronged approach was Tang San's tactic.

The moment the Blue Silver Grass touched Lin Mu's legs, Tang San decisively used Crystallization.

On the other side, Graphite and Stone Mill had already clasped hands together. If they could hold on for just a moment, they would be able to complete their Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

However, at that moment, an incredibly terrifying gravity suddenly pressed down on them, forcibly interrupting their martial soul fusion.

It is the second skill of the Titan's left arm soul bone: Gravity Swamp.

Compared to Titan Skybreaker, Lin Mu rarely uses Gravity Swamp. This skill is not very effective against Title Douluo, but it can be extremely effective against Soul Masters with low cultivation levels.

In fact, Lin Mu had already held back, only applying three times the gravity. If he had used his full strength, he could have completely rendered everyone incapacitated.
