Chapter 73 Qin Mu's Surprising Performance
Everyone's eyes turned to Qin Mu, their faces filled with mockery.
Even Hu Liena's expression changed slightly, and she immediately came to Qin Mu's side.
"Qin Mu, I know you're very strong, but Lin Hui is a five-ring Soul King and the previous champion captain!"
"You should go to the side first. My brother and I can handle this."
Hu Liena couldn't help but show a hint of anxiety on her face. After all, this was a matter involving the three of them, and it was indeed inappropriate to involve Qin Mu.
Hearing Hu Liena's words, Qin Mu simply patted the back of Hu Liena's hand gently to reassure her, then stood in front of Hu Liena and said.
"Senior Lin, how is it?"
Lin Hui saw everything the two were doing, and when he saw Qin Mu and Hu Liena's intimate actions, a hint of displeasure appeared on Lin Hui's face.
As a genius student of the Spirit Hall Academy, Hu Liena possesses exceptional beauty and temperament, and many students regard her as their goddess.
Even Lin Hui was no exception.
However, in their several encounters, Hu Liena's attitude towards Lin Hui remained lukewarm, while Lin Hui was unwilling to lower his stance to pursue her, which led to a stalemate in their relationship.
The fact that Qin Mu and Hu Liena could get along so well right now made Lin Hui feel a little bitter.
"One more or one less doesn't matter, so all three of you come together!"
Lin Hui already had a lot of opinions about Qin Mu, the genius from the Spirit Hall Academy. Now that Qin Mu had jumped out on his own, it gave Lin Hui a perfect opportunity to teach him a lesson.
In his view, no matter how capable a fourteen-year-old child is, how much ability can he possibly have? At most, he's just a three-ring Soul Elder.
Just as Lin Hui was about to teach the three a lesson, he saw Qin Mu shake his head at him.
"Senior Lin, you've misunderstood me."
"What? You're scared? You don't dare fight me?!"
Lin Hui originally had a slight respect for Qin Mu, after all, knowing that Qin Mu still dared to stand up and take responsibility after he reached the fifth ring, which was already quite remarkable.
But now that they've changed their minds at the last minute, Lin Hui can't help but scoff at it.
"No, I mean, it's not the three of us fighting you, it's just me alone!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned for a moment, followed by a lot of snickers from the surroundings. Hu Liena even pulled Qin Mu to her side.
"Qin Mu, what are you saying! He's the captain of the champion team from last year's competition!"
Hu Liena looked a little anxious. She told Lin Hui it wouldn't work, while continuing to explain to Qin Mu.
"Even if you don't know about the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, you should at least know what the five-ring level is, right?"
"Although the fifth ring and the fourth ring are only one ring apart, that one ring is a ten-thousand-year soul ring!"
"It can be said that the difference of just one ten-thousand-year spirit ring is something that a thousand-year spirit ring cannot make up for!"
Hu Liena thought that Qin Mu's second soul ring was a thousand-year soul ring, and assumed that this was his reliance.
"Moreover, he's not the same as Yan back then. Lin Hui is a true battle maniac who has fought thousands of times!"
"Qin Mu, I've heard about your arrogance, but I never imagined you were this arrogant!"
Lin Hui's cold laugh interrupted Hu Liena's words, and he looked at Qin Mu with some disdain.
"I originally thought that as the number one person in the Spirit Hall Academy in a hundred years, he should at least have some basic knowledge."
"Now it seems I was wrong."
"Go away, I don't want to fight an idiot!"
After Lin Hui finished speaking, many people around him burst into laughter.
They were all students in the same or next year cohort as Lin Hui, so naturally they all sided with him.
"Xie Yue, what do you say? Should we continue or...?"
Before Lin Hui could finish speaking, he saw Qin Mu raise his right hand.
At the same time, four spirit rings appeared on Qin Mu's body.
Yellow, purple, purple, black.
The unexpected soul ring configuration on Qin Mu left everyone present speechless.
"Lin Hui, do you dare to fight me now?"
Hu Liena looked at Qin Mu with disbelief, especially staring intently at the fourth spirit ring on his body that represented ten thousand years.
She had considered that Qin Mu's fourth spirit ring could last for ten thousand years, but she never imagined that Qin Mu would possess a fourth spirit ring at only fourteen years old!
She wasn't the only one who shared the same thoughts; even Lin Hui's expression turned serious when he saw the ten-thousand-year soul ring on Qin Mu's body.
He had heard that Qin Mu's spirit ring ratio was somewhat unusual, but he did not expect that Qin Mu's spirit ring ratio could be so abnormal.
Just based on this soul ring combination alone, Qin Mu's future achievements will surpass Lin Hui's.
That's an extra ten-thousand-year soul ring compared to a normal person!
What's more, what's surprising about Qin Mu is his age.
A fourteen-year-old Soul Elder with four rings is a rare find even in the history of the Spirit Hall Academy.
He reached the fourth ring at fourteen. As long as he's not an idiot, he can definitely reach the fifth ring before he's twenty, and even the sixth ring before he's twenty-five!
A Soul Emperor at the age of twenty-five is enough to leave a mark on the history of the Spirit Hall!
"As expected, it seems you do have some real skills."
Lin Hui lived up to his reputation as the number one in the previous competition. After seeing the talent that Qin Mu displayed, Lin Hui immediately composed himself and looked at Qin Mu seriously.
"But I'll say it again: the future may belong to you, but for now, it's still mine!"
Lin Hui stretched out his hands and waved them to both sides, asking the people around him to give him ample space.
"Lin Hui, a level 53 offensive-type Soul King, please enlighten me!"
Lin Hui's actions undoubtedly showed Qin Mu sufficient respect, which surprised those around him.
It's been so long since I've seen Lin Hui so focused.
Seeing Lin Hui's reaction, Qin Mu didn't waste any more time with him. A gentle breeze pushed Hu Liena and the others aside, and then Qin Mu introduced himself to Lin Hui as well.
"Qin Mu, Level 46 Power Attack Type Soul Elder!"
Upon hearing Qin Mu's words, everyone gasped in shock, with Hu Liena and the other two looking at Qin Mu with horrified eyes.
When Qin Mu first revealed his strength, everyone thought he was just a Soul Elder who had just broken through to the fourth ring.
After all, at his age, reaching level 40 is already a remarkable achievement.
But unexpectedly, Qin Mu's soul power was an astonishing level forty-six!
Keep in mind that even Hu Liena and the others only have a soul power of around level 44!
Lin Hui's eyes flickered again, but there was no sign of retreat in his gaze, only a burning fighting spirit!
"Come on, Qin Mu, I hope your strength matches your talent and won't disappoint me!"
