To Teach You a Lesson, I Need at Most Ninety Percent of My Strength!

With the matter settled, Flender prepared to return to Heaven Dou, but Lin Hai persuaded them to stay a few more days, including Dai Mubai.

"Brother Hai, why did you keep us here?" Dai Mubai asked in confusion.

"If I don't stop you, where do you plan to go?" Lin Hai asked with a smile. "Back to the Star Luo Empire to fight for the throne?"

Flender, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar also looked at Dai Mubai curiously, waiting for his answer.

"What else can we do?" Dai Mubai smile, his eyes full of confusion.

He could no longer fathom Lin Hai's intentions.

Logically speaking, with Dai Tianfeng secretly changing the competition rules that had been in place for many years, he no longer had the confidence to defeat Dai Weisi.

If I can't ascend the throne, what use am I, a mere Soul Ancestor?

Lin Hai patted him on the shoulder, his tone calm. "You should be able to guess what the Spirit Hall is going to do next."

"The Star Luo Imperial Family is too busy to take care of themselves. If you don't want to fight for it, no one will force you."

"Whether you stay in Spirit City or return to Shrek, there won't be any danger. Isn't that what you wanted?"

"Is this battle... truly unavoidable?" Dai Mubai asked with difficulty.

He was well aware of the principle that "one who possesses a sharp weapon will naturally harbor murderous intent."

With Lin Hai around, the Spirit Hall completely crushed both the two empires, whether in terms of top-tier combat power or core strength.

Pope Bibi Dong has been restraining the various temples over the years, and previously she openly tried to win over Soul Master through the theory of Soul Master. Her intentions are now obvious.

Moreover, the Heaven Dou Crown Prince Xue Qinghe has a close relationship with Lin Hai, and there's probably more to it than meets the eye... He dared not think any further.

As if reading his mind, Lin Hai calmly explained:

"The unification of the continent is the collective will of the Spirit Hall's higher-ups and some affiliated forces, and it will not change whether I am here or not."

"Whether it's the Xue Family or the Dai Family, they have no personal grudge against us. If we meet on the battlefield one day, there's no need to feel uncomfortable about it."

Seeing that Dai Mubai remained silent, he turned to Flender and the other two and said, "Alright, since we've met, I'll prepare a Elixir Pill for each of you."

"Although the effect is not as good as what Xiao Wu and the others took, it will still be of great help to you."

"As for your future plans, you can decide for yourselves!"

For the next two days, Lin Hai wandered around Spirit City, refining a large number of Elixir Pill.

Shrek received four, Skywater Academy received five, Huo Wu one, and the rest were distributed among the six elders and the rest of the Spirit Hall.

After obtaining the Elixir Pill, Dai Mubai ultimately decided to return to the Star Luo Empire.

Lin Hai did not press him about his plans.

Ma Hongjun followed Flender back to Shrek and said that he would be available whenever Lin Hai needed him.

Oscar, however, chose to stay in Spirit City.

Firstly, it was to repay Lin Hai for the kindness of giving him the pill; secondly, Lin Hai had stated that he could give him the ability to become Battle Spirit Master in the future.

Lin Hai kept all the students from the Skywater Academy behind, and he would naturally take them with him on the subsequent trip to Sea God Island.

Not only that, Shui Yunshu also wrote a letter to her younger sister, asking her to arrange matters concerning the family and the academy and to come to Spirit City as well.

Ling Yuan and the others were overjoyed to receive the Elixir Pill. Heaven knows how envious they were of Yue Guan and Gui Mei!

She excitedly kissed Lin Hai.

Haha, that speed... Lin Hai had absolutely no time to dodge!

As for Yan, he was seriously injured by Xiao Wu's sneak attack during the competition. After recovering, he finally couldn't sit still and went to find Lin Hai and Hu Liena to send his blessings.

However, after stammering for a long time, he finally managed to say, "I wish you a long and happy marriage, and that you grow old together!"

This was the condition Lin Hai initially offered Yan—to exchange sincere blessings for the Elixir Pill of Immortal Herb.

However, to Lin Hai, the phrase "a hundred years" and "white hair" sounded like a curse!

But he had no evidence, so he eventually gave the Elixir Pill to the other party!

When Hu Liena learned that this was a deal between Lin Hai and Yan, she was initially laughing heartily.

But when Lin Hai said that this blessing was the "big surprise," Hu Liena was completely enraged by this perfunctory gift and decided to teach Lin Hai a lesson.

As a result, she became completely bedridden and even developed Parkinson's disease in her fingers.

This also led the Little Fox to believe that going it alone wouldn't last long!

After several busy days, Lin Hai finally finished dealing with the trivial matters and went to see Bibi Dong.

The problem with the Divine Slaughter's Domain should be resolved by now, as he will be leaving Spirit City afterward.

"Your His Highness the Saint Son is certainly very busy!" Bibi Dong looked at him with a half-smile, her tone teasing. "Even I, the Pope, am not as busy as you!"

Lin Hai chuckled inwardly; this woman was clearly using mockery of him, her way of disobeying her disciple, to mask her inner unease.

Without replying, he walked straight to the Pope's Throne and sat down beside Bibi Dong without any hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, he naturally lifted Bibi Dong's lower leg and placed it on his knee. He skillfully removed her shoes and socks and began to press the acupoints on the soles of her feet.

"You..." Bibi Dong let out a short gasp, but ultimately did not speak to stop her.

This unfilial disciple has never known how to observe the proper etiquette between master and disciple since he was a child. This is not the first time he has made such inappropriate physical contact. There is nothing she can do about it.

"If I don't get you into top form, I'm afraid you'll cheat if you lose!" Lin Hai said without looking up, his fingertips kneading the skin with even pressure.

"Hmph, what do you take me for?" Bibi Dong retorted to the disdainful masseur while enjoying a foot massage she hadn't had in eight years.

"To deal with you, I only need to use seven... nine-tenths of my strength at most!"

"I see..." Lin Hai chuckled softly, "Then how about I designate the extra resources?"

"What do you mean?" Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow. "Which of my Soul Skill do you want to restrict?"

"The Divine Slaughter's Domain." Lin Hai met her gaze and explained, "That domain's weakening effect is ineffective against me; at most, it only takes away about ten percent of your strength."

"Oh?" Bibi Dong's interest was piqued, and she leaned forward slightly. "Since it doesn't affect you, why restrict my use?"

"Could it be... that he was frightened by Tang Hao's domain before?"

Scared? Heh, compared to my Demon God Domain, the Divine Slaughter's Domain is at most a great-grandchild!

Lin Hai continued massaging her feet while explaining the connection between the Divine Slaughter's Domain and the Asura God, including how the Asura God used the Divine Slaughter's Domain to rescue Tang Hao from afar.

Finally, he said solemnly, "The reason why the Asura God chose to save Tang Hao was to cultivate Tang San to inherit the godhood."

"If this domain remains with you, it will become a disaster sooner or later."

"It just so happens that my domain can both suppress the domains of all Soul Master and is compatible with the attributes of the Divine Slaughter's Domain, so it is most appropriate for me to devour and refine it."

"In this way, I can increase my strength a little, and you won't have to suffer the pain of your domain shattering."
