Chapter 98 The Limit of Endurance: 110,000 Years!
Hu Liena led Qin Mu to the academy's infirmary, skillfully found the medicine for treating external injuries, and then began to bandage Qin Mu's wounds.
"Sister Nana, it's nothing."
Qin Mu tried to persuade Hu Liena, but all he got was a big eye roll from her, and he was ignored.
Hu Liena placed Qin Mu's injured hand on her lap, carefully wiping away the blood, and then found clean gauze to bandage the wound on Qin Mu's hand.
She originally wanted to nag Qin Mu a bit, but the words that came out of her mouth turned into a soft sigh.
Aside from his injury, Hu Liena couldn't find any other reason to criticize Qin Mu.
After all, Qin Mu did the right thing.
The final, superimposed attack from the counterattack storm was enough to severely injure Li Kai.
If the final outcome truly ends with Li Kai being seriously injured, then even if Qin Mu truly entered the competition team based on his own strength, Zhang Ping and the others will only acknowledge Qin Mu's ability.
If it were Hu Liena, and someone stronger wanted to replace Xie Yue or Yan in the competition, she would feel just as uncomfortable, even if she didn't say it.
No one wants their close friends or family to be replaced in such a situation by someone else, no matter how powerful that person is; their heart will still be biased towards their own friends or family.
If this isn't handled properly, problems will easily arise in later matches.
Through this competition, Qin Mu not only gained everyone's recognition with his strength, but also won them over with his character.
It's fair to say that this was a win-win deal.
Hu Liena tied a small bow on Qin Mu's already bandaged wound, leaving Qin Mu quite helpless.
Hu Liena looked down at the little bow, then looked up and met Qin Mu's eyes, unconsciously recalling the battle just now.
The force of the counterattack storm was so great that even Hu Liena was quite alarmed.
If she were the one facing this attack, she definitely wouldn't have been able to do it as easily as Qin Mu; she would have suffered at least some internal injuries.
But Qin Mu seemed to have blocked it with ease.
Just how powerful has Qin Mu become now?
Just as Hu Liena parted her red lips slightly, about to say something, a figure suddenly walked in from outside the door.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Hu Liena nodded in surprise.
"Sister Ling Yuan, you've arrived."
Ling Yuan's face remained expressionless. After nodding to Hu Liena in return, she immediately looked at Qin Mu.
"Little Qin Mu, you need to go to the Elder Hall now!"
Hu Liena was still wondering about Ling Yuan's attitude, but after hearing her words, she suddenly realized.
Generally speaking, Ling Yuan is very friendly, and she will usually greet you with a smile and chat for a few minutes.
Her somewhat aloof demeanor now is because she has important matters to attend to.
Judging from the looks of it, this is no ordinary matter.
"Then go ahead. If you need anything, just come back to the academy and find me."
After releasing Qin Mu's hand, Hu Liena watched Qin Mu and Ling Yuan leave.
Following Ling Yuan with practiced ease, the two soon arrived at the entrance of the Elder Hall.
Pushing open the door, Qin Mu was surprised to find twenty or thirty figures densely packed around a stone table.
The moment the door was pushed open, countless eyes fell on Qin Mu.
The sight of dozens of Title Douluo looking at him simultaneously instantly increased the pressure on Qin Mu.
Before anyone knew it, Ling Yuan had disappeared from Qin Mu's side and taken a seat in the middle of the stone table.
Despite the pressure from dozens of Title Douluo, Qin Mu showed no sign of discomfort.
The gravity field slowly activated, and Qin Mu compressed its range to within one meter of himself, thus minimizing the pressure from the elders.
With heavy steps, Qin Mu slowly approached the stone table, standing three meters away, and then respectfully clasped his hands in a salute.
"Junior Qin Mu greets all elders!"
As soon as Qin Mu finished speaking, the pressure on him vanished without a trace, and many familiar faces looked at him with smiles.
Even some elders whom he didn't quite remember nodded at him with a smile.
"I heard your soul power has reached level sixty?"
An aged voice rang out in the hall. Qin Mu couldn't tell where it came from, but he still obediently extended his right hand.
Yellow, purple, purple, black, black.
Five spirit rings, exceeding the optimal ratio, lit up in the main hall, causing many elders to show surprise.
Many of them had only heard that Qin Mu was very talented, but this was the first time they had seen his spirit ring configuration.
"As expected, it's a level 60 soul power fluctuation. I remember he's only seventeen years old, right?"
"A seventeen-year-old six-ring Soul Emperor, this is an unprecedented event in the history of the Spirit Hall!"
"There's still some time before the finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. How about I take him to find a suitable sixth soul ring?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned in astonishment to the front of the stone table, where an elder was seated in the fourth position.
"I didn't expect you, Fourth Brother, to have such thoughts. Well, that's good!"
Qian Daoliu, who was seated at the head of the table, nodded slightly, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
Just as Qian Daoliu was about to order the fourth Mighty Lion Douluo to take Qin Mu away, Qin Mu, who was at the bottom, spoke up.
"Thank you for your kindness, Elder, but I don't think I'll be able to obtain my sixth spirit ring for the time being."
"Huh? Why is that?" Mighty Lion Douluo asked, puzzled.
"Based on my judgment, the ideal age for my sixth spirit ring is around 100,000 years."
"There are very few soul beasts on the Douluo Continent that are 100,000 years old, so it's probably impossible to obtain one for the time being."
Qin Mu's voice was calm, but it sounded like a thunderclap to the ears of these elders.
"What?! Qin Mu, you must be joking!"
"Putting aside how difficult it is to obtain a 100,000-year-old soul beast, what makes you think you can absorb a 100,000-year-old soul ring?!"
While the elders were discussing amongst themselves, a figure appeared beside Qin Mu.
The withered hand gripped Qin Mu's arm, and in that instant, Qin Mu felt as if his entire being had been seen through.
After a short while, the elder slowly withdrew his hand and turned to look at the other elders.
"What Qin Mu said is true. His physical strength is indeed able to withstand a 100,000-year soul ring."
As soon as the elder finished speaking, a collective gasp filled the hall.
If anyone present was most qualified to judge whether Qin Mu was lying, it would undoubtedly be the elder standing before them.
As one of the elders of the Spirit Hall, this elder only has a spirit power of level 91, and his status in the Spirit Hall is not very high.
However, his martial soul has the ability to accurately detect the body of a soul master.
Simply put, once he has investigated a Soul Master, all of that Soul Master's abilities and attributes become precise data and appear in the elder's mind.
According to this Soul Master, Qin Mu's body can currently withstand a maximum lifespan of more than 100,000 years.
It's 110,000 years!
