Chapter 132 The Turmoil in Spirit City
Instead of directly seeking out a place to absorb the soul bone, Qin Mu first went to Yue Guan.
Based on their interactions over several incidents, Yue Guan's style of doing things leaned more toward being tactful and mature.
This was largely due to his long-term residence in the Spirit Hall.
This approach saved Qin Mu a lot of trouble, as evidenced by the fact that Yue Guan was still a very close elder to Bibi Dong.
However, compared to Ling Yuan, Yue Guan's actions lacked the aura of a titled Douluo master.
This was related to the fact that Yue Guan had been with the Spirit Hall for a longer period and had been more deeply involved within it.
In pursuit of status and material possessions, he gradually lost his dignity as a Title Douluo.
If Qin Mu hadn't appeared, Yue Guan and Gui Mei would have followed the same old path and ultimately become lackeys of the Spirit Hall.
Ling Yuan, on the other hand, had only been with the Spirit Hall for a short time and still retained the dignity of a Title Douluo.
Of course, if the original route had been followed, Ling Yuan's final fate would have been the same as Yue Guan's and the others.
After giving Yue Guan a few instructions, Qin Mu took something out of his pocket and handed it to him.
Upon seeing what Qin Mu had pulled out of his pocket, Yue Guan's eyes immediately lit up, and he became much more energetic than before.
After arranging everything, Qin Mu let Yue Guan leave, then found a quiet secret room to begin absorbing the left arm bone of the Titan Giant Ape.
Just after Qin Mu and his group returned to Spirit City, news of Qin Mu killing the Titan Giant Ape, the king of the 100,000-year-old forest, spread throughout the city once again.
"Hey, have you heard? Qin Mu actually killed a 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape on this trip!"
"100,000 years?! No way? I remember he was just a Soul King. How could he have such strength now?"
"Tch, my uncle was one of the Soul Saints who accompanied them. He personally witnessed Qin Mu swing the Clear Sky Hammer and smash the Titan Giant Ape to death with a single blow!"
"Ah?!"
"Not only that, even the Titan Giant Ape's spirit ring has become his!"
"That's a hundred thousand years! Could it be?!"
"That's right! Qin Mu's sixth spirit ring is 100,000 years!"
The message spread like wildfire throughout the entire Spirit City.
Everyone's first reaction upon hearing this was disbelief.
But such a clumsy lie had too many flaws, which made people suspicious.
As more and more members of the Spirit Hall confirmed the truth, those who were initially skeptical gradually began to question their doubts and eventually joined the ranks of those who believed it.
The message was relayed to later stages, and it evolved into Qin Mu fighting the Titan Giant Ape alone, ultimately crushing it to victory.
Upon learning this news, many people with ulterior motives naturally wanted to seize Qin Mu's 100,000-year-old soul bone.
But putting aside the fact that Qin Mu always had Ling Yuan, a top-tier elder, protecting him,
even Qin Mu himself was rumored to have the ability to fight a Titan Giant Ape alone.
These people with ulterior motives didn't have much strength to begin with, so how could they possibly make a move against Qin Mu?
The news spread quickly and naturally reached the Spirit Hall Academy.
At this moment, inside the Spirit Hall Academy, Hu Liena and the others were packing up their belongings.
According to the academy's graduation requirements, the three of them had already met them, but they were delayed because they wanted to participate in the Continental High-Level Soul Master Elite Tournament.
Now that everything was done, there was naturally no need for them to stay.
Hu Liena had already packed her things and went to help her brother, Xie Yue.
While tidying up, someone was shouting and yelling outside.
At first, Hu Liena and her companion didn't pay any attention, but later the noise outside grew louder and louder, which made them a little puzzled.
Since they entered the academy, they had never encountered such chaos.
Confused and shocked, Yan rushed into Xie Yue's room in a panic.
"Xie Yue, I have something to tell you... uh, Nana, you're here too!"
Yan appeared somewhat awkward upon seeing Hu Liena present.
Ever since he was taught a lesson by Qin Mu because of Hu Liena when they were children, Yan had always wanted to get revenge on him.
Unfortunately, Qin Mu's growth rate was too astonishing, and when they met again, Qin Mu was no match for him at all.
After the All-Continent Elite High-Level Soul Master Tournament, Yan was completely convinced of Qin Mu's abilities.
What could you do if you weren't convinced? They could even break through the true form of a weapon spirit, so why would they take you seriously?
Despite thinking this way, Yan's feelings for Hu Liena never diminished, and he eventually buried them silently in his heart.
"What's wrong? Why are you so flustered? Did something happen outside?"
Hu Liena was indifferent to Yan, treating him as just an ordinary friend, while Xie Yue, standing to the side, asked the question.
Upon hearing Xie Yue's question, Yan finally remembered the purpose of his visit to Xie Yue.
However, when his gaze fell on Hu Liena, his expression turned somewhat strange, and he finally spoke quietly.
"It's Qin Mu."
Upon hearing that it was about Qin Mu, Hu Liena, who had been listless, immediately looked at Yan with her eyes shining.
Yan thought to himself, "As expected," and then reluctantly explained to the two of them.
"His Holiness the Pope led a team to hunt down a 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape for Qin Mu."
"Qin Mu's sixth spirit ring is now 100,000 years old, and his spirit power has reached level 68!"
"In addition, I heard that the soul bone of that Titan Giant Ape was also given to Qin Mu!"
As well-known geniuses in the Spirit Hall, Yan and the others naturally joined the Spirit Hall after the All-Continent Elite High-Level Soul Master Tournament.
Furthermore, due to their special status, the information they received was naturally more accurate than that of ordinary people.
Upon hearing the news that Qin Mu had obtained a 100,000-year soul ring, the two's eyes widened instantly.
Hu Liena had always known about Qin Mu's extraordinary ability to absorb spirit rings.
She originally thought that Qin Mu's sixth soul ring should be able to absorb a soul beast that was around 70,000 to 80,000 years old at most.
Unexpectedly, Qin Mu defied everyone's expectations by obtaining a 100,000-year-old soul beast when he acquired his sixth spirit ring.
So, what would be the upper limit of Qin Mu's talent in the future?
Seeing the hint of defeat in Xie Yue and Hu Liena's eyes, Yan felt a surge of joy.
The three of them were practically inseparable. Yan naturally knew a lot about the two of them, as their spirit rings and strengths were almost identical.
Judging from Qin Mu's development speed, his next three spirit rings would inevitably be 100,000-year spirit rings as well.
As a result, Hu Liena appeared somewhat mediocre in front of Qin Mu.
In that case, wouldn't he have another chance?!
While Yan was secretly pleased, Hu Liena swept away the frustration in her eyes and looked at Xie Yue.
"Brother, shall we move our trip to Death Valley for training forward?"
