Heaven Dou Empire Imperial Palace.
Inside the palace, Meng Shenji bowed deeply to Xue Ye on the throne and respectfully said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Chief Meng Shenji, no need for formalities. What brings you to me?" Xue Ye's voice was aged, carrying a sense of fatigue.
Meng Shenji straightened, unable to suppress the excitement and solemnity on his face. "Your Majesty, I have indeed come to report a matter of great importance!"
"Oh?" Xue Ye was slightly startled, his expression turning interested.
"I wish to recommend someone to Your Majesty—the current leader of Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Imperial Dou Team, Lin Mu!"
After a pause, Meng Shenji continued, "He is only twenty-three, yet his Soul Power has already reached the Soul Sage level. His strength is even more terrifying—he defeated Poison Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo in succession!"
"Hm? I have heard about his defeat of Dugu Bo, but when did he defeat Chrysanthemum Douluo?"
Xue Ye frowned slightly, doubt coloring his tone.
Compared to Poison Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo was an elder of Spirit Hall and one of Pope Bibi Dong's chief aides. His strength was clearly far greater.
For a Soul Sage to defeat Chrysanthemum Douluo was truly hard to believe.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, two days ago, Chrysanthemum Douluo came to the academy again, intending to recruit Lin Mu into Spirit Hall, but Lin Mu refused her on the spot."
"Chrysanthemum Douluo flew into a rage from humiliation and brazenly attacked. Yet after only a short exchange, Lin Mu severely wounded her, forcing her to flee!"
After hearing Meng Shenji's account, Xue Ye's pupils contracted. His fingers lightly tapped the armrest of the throne, producing a steady tapping sound.
At twenty-three, he had already cultivated to the Soul Sage level and had even defeated the renowned Chrysanthemum Douluo head-on.
