I Laugh at Bibi Dong's Madness, Qian Renxue's Lack of Intelligence

In the carriage returning to Nuoding City, Bai Mu felt exceptionally relaxed.

This Soul Hunting experience had been very rewarding!

Besides absorbing the Spirit Ring and directly breaking through to level 11, and discovering he could replace Spirit Skills with Pokemon Moves through Spirit Ring Resonance, there were actually more unreveaten gains.

He was already eager to get to Nuoding City and find an opportunity to study them thoroughly by himself.

"Xiao Mu, since you've obtained a Spirit Ring, you should go register as a Soul Master at the Martial Soul Hall first."

The carriage entered Nuoding City and stopped. The Dean said with a smile:

"Although the Martial Soul Hall's Soul Master subsidy is only one Gold Soul Coin per month, for you now, that's quite a fortune!"

"Okay, Dean!"

Bai Mu readily agreed.

"Xiao San, you are now a Soul Grand Master, you can collect 10 Gold Soul Coins. Go update your information too."

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang's eyes darted, and he said deliberately.

"Okay, Teacher."

Tang San nodded and followed Bai Mu, initiating a conversation:

"Bai Mu, how much do you feel your Zygarde's strength has increased compared to before?"

"It's alright. The overall combat power should have increased by half."

Bai Mu shook his head and smiled helplessly, "If we were to fight now, I probably wouldn't be your match anymore, Xiao San."

"Don't underestimate yourself. You should be invincible among those below the Soul Grand Master realm now."

Although Tang San felt proud, he remembered his teacher wanted to take Bai Mu as a disciple and said very humbly:

"Keep working hard on your cultivation. If there's anything you don't understand, you can always come ask me and Teacher. We will definitely help you!"

Tang San usually treated people other than Xiao Wu with indifference, but his attitude towards Bai Mu now was noticeably warmer than before.

In his heart, although he didn't want to be a helpless support, if he could have a teammate who could both fight and support, that would be even better!

"That would be great!"

Bai Mu saw through it but didn't expose it, smoothly shifting the topic to cultivation: "I've been thinking about optimizing my cultivation techniques recently, and I have some questions about meridians that I'd like to ask you..."

Remembering the help he received during the Spirit Ring hunt, Tang San tried his best not to hold back. As long as it didn't involve the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, he would answer Bai Mu's questions as much as possible.

He wasn't worried at all that Bai Mu could comprehend any powerful techniques from it.

After all... Mysterious Heaven Skill was the most awesome!

Nuoding City Martial Soul Hall.

Tang San, familiar with the way, led Bai Mu to an old man who was organizing documents.

"Tang San? You've broken through again?"

Upon meeting, Ma Xiunuo couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Yes, Grandpa, I just obtained my second Spirit Ring."

Tang San replied politely.

"Good! Good! Truly a genius!"

Ma Xiunuo said with a smile, trying to recruit him, "Child, have you really not considered joining the Martial Soul Hall? With your talent..."

"Sorry, Grandpa, I'm not considering these things before graduation."

Tang San shook his head slightly.

Ma Xiunuo sighed and turned his gaze to Bai Mu, "And who is this?"

"Hello, Grandpa, my name is Bai Mu. I'm a Work-Study Student at Notting Academy. I just obtained my first Spirit Ring and have come to register as a Spirit Master."

Bai Mu greeted him with a smile.

"Oh? Also from Notting Academy..."

Ma Xiunuo quickly found the corresponding information. When he saw "Innate Soul Power Level 1," he frowned slightly, but as he continued reading...

"9 years old?! You improved from Level 1 to Level 10 in three years?"

He suddenly looked up, his face full of shock, "You're not kidding me, child?"

One must know that the difficulty of advancing from Innate Level 1 to Level 10 was far greater than advancing from Level 11 to Level 20 with full Soul Power!

"That's right."

Bai Mu nodded. With a thought, a bright yellow Spirit Ring appeared beneath his feet.

"A Hundred-Year Spirit Ring!"

Ma Xiunuo's eyes lit up. He took a deep breath to calm himself:

"Child, can you show me your Martial Soul?"

"Come out, Zygarde!"

"Woof~"

Bai Mu raised his hand and beckoned. A ball of light landed on the ground, and Zygarde appeared by his side.

"It's an External Martial Soul... Wait!"

Ma Xiunuo was secretly surprised. He lowered his head and saw [Martial Soul: Zygarde (Mutated Planarian)] on the registration form. He then suddenly looked up again.

"That's not right! Wasn't your registered martial soul a Planarian? How did it turn into a dog?"

His mind flashed, and he asked uncertainly:

"Could it be... your martial soul evolved?"

"Mhm."

Bai Mu nodded obediently.

"Child."

Ma Xiunuo stared at Zygarde for a long time, his tone becoming solemn:

"Are you willing to join the Martial Soul Hall?"

"Thank you, Grandpa! But I don't have any plans to join the Martial Soul Hall for now."

Bai Mu showed an innocent smile and then shook his head decisively.

If he sparred with Tang San, as long as he didn't use lethal force, even if he injured Tang San, he wouldn't worry about Tang Hao, that peerless strong expert father who made a less than six-year-old boy eat porridge every day, interfering in a junior's fight and dealing with him.

But the Martial Soul Hall was different.

He was genuinely afraid that Tang Ritian would be hiding nearby and, if in a bad mood, find an opportunity to casually kill him.

Safety first, caution above all else.

"...Is that so."

Ma Xiunuo couldn't hide his disappointment, but he quickly regained his kind smile. "If you change your mind in the future, you can come anytime. The doors of the Martial Soul Hall are always open to you."

After speaking, he quickly registered and updated the information for the two and issued the corresponding subsidies.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Bai Mu smiled as he took the heavy gold coin.

In fact, in his eyes, the Martial Soul Hall was the best organization on the entire Douluo Continent.

Free awakening of martial souls for commoners, distribution of spirit master subsidies, and establishment of a relatively fair promotion system.

And in the era after the destruction of the Martial Soul Hall, not only were the subsidies gone, but commoners even had to pay to awaken their martial souls.

Despite this, he had no intention of joining the Martial Soul Hall.

Because...

"The Martial Soul Hall is good, but unfortunately, that crazy woman Bibi Dong is a ticking time bomb!"

Bai Mu sighed.

If he joined the Martial Soul Hall, he was truly afraid that Bibi Dong would pull some stunt.

After all, you couldn't understand a madwoman with ordinary thinking!

In contrast, he was more interested in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Heaven Dou Empire.

The former was the wealthiest sect, and its members were relatively normal.

As long as he could win over Ning Fengzhi or Ning Rongrong, it would be equivalent to indirectly having the backing of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, two Title Douluo.

As for the latter, the reason was simple – the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family did not have any Title Douluo truly belonging to them!

In his eyes, in the extraordinary world, without top-tier powerhouses, even with a million elite soldiers, it would only be fish on a chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered.

And this kind of place was perfect for manipulation!

As for that fake crown prince Xue Qinghe...

"Hahaha..."

Bai Mu couldn't help but laugh out loud just thinking about it.

Tang San asked doubtfully, "Why is Bai Mu laughing?"

"I'm laughing at Bibi Dong's madness and Qian Renxue's lack of intelligence."

They were clearly the two most talented women on the Douluo Continent.

One fell in love with the useless Grandmaster, eloped unsuccessfully, turned against her master, and was defeated.

The other, a peerless genius with Innate Soul Power of level twenty, wasted her time on a plan to usurp the throne.

It was truly hilarious!

However, when facing Tang San's question, Bai Mu said:

"I thought of something happy."

"What is it?"

"My wife gave birth... Bah!"

Bai Mu held the Gold Soul Coins and said arrogantly, "Tomorrow I'll drink soy milk, one bowl in, one bowl out. My main point is that I'm rich and willful!"

Tang San: "???"
