"Hurry up!"
Seeing that Tai Long hadn't acted, Tai Tan's face darkened. This brat had no sense at all.
It wouldn't be a loss to acknowledge Tang San as his master. After all, he was only eighteen, yet already a Soul Emperor, possessing a 100,000-year soul ring, and his strength was ridiculously high; even Tai Tan had been defeated by him.
Moreover, only by getting Tai Long to acknowledge Tang San as his master could the foundation of the Strength Clan be preserved.
For Soul Masters like them, who would find it difficult to break through to the Title Douluo level in their entire lives, why not acknowledge a future top powerhouse as their master?
Urged by his grandfather, Tai Long dared not say anything more and immediately knelt before Tang San, kowtowing three times heavily, saying, "Tai Long greets Master."
Seeing this, a strange glint flashed in Tang San's eyes.
He hadn't expected that after crippling Tai Tan's cultivation, the old man had become so sensible.
Sure enough, Master was right; reasoning with some guys wouldn't work. Only by beating them into submission would they listen to you.
"From now on, you will be the chief of the Strength Clan. If you don't understand anything, just ask your grandfather."
"Thank you, Master."
Hearing Tai Long's gratitude, Tang San almost couldn't hold back.
He had only recently crippled Tai Tan's cultivation, and now Tai Long was actually thanking him for his favor.
The people around him were filled with envy.
In their eyes, Tai Long not only took over the position of chief at a young age but also acknowledged Tang San as his master and even had some connection with Lin Mu. His future was limitless.
"Tai Long, I need you to do something for me."
"Please speak, Master."
"I want to meet the chiefs of the other single-attribute families. I'll leave this to you to inform them. Make sure they come to Heaven Dou City."
As he spoke, Tang San's eyes flashed. If he could recruit the four major single-attribute families, he would basically have no shortage of manpower.
Upon hearing his master's command, Tai Long frowned slightly and immediately looked to his grandfather for help.
Tai Tan nodded to Tai Long, indicating that he had a way to contact the chiefs of the other single-attribute families.
Relieved by his grandfather's confirmation, Tai Long immediately bowed and said, "Tai Long obeys."
Meanwhile, Lin Mu had arrived at Godwind Academy.
Using his mental power, Lin Mu quickly found the dean's office, where several people were discussing something.
"Dean, the Spirit Hall is now very powerful, and many forces have already submitted to it. We..."
"No need to say more. The Spirit Hall bullies others with its power. If they can't win them over, they suppress them. Although Godwind Academy is just an academy, it absolutely cannot betray the Heaven Dou Empire."
The dean of Godwind Academy declared firmly in the office.
Hearing the dean's words, the teachers who had initially wanted to submit to the Spirit Hall immediately fell silent; they dared not contradict the dean.
Then, Dean Shen Feng looked at the silent youth and asked, "Xiaotian, the Spirit Hall is suppressing our Godwind Academy at every turn. What do you think we should do?"
"Dean, I agree with you. Our Godwind Academy should stand with the Empire."
At this point, Feng Xiaotian paused, glanced at the opportunistic teacher, and continued, "Not only can we not be traitors, but we must also wholeheartedly support the Empire. As long as General Lin Mu is here, the Heaven Dou Empire has nothing to fear from the Spirit Hall."
Hearing this, Dean Shen Feng nodded in satisfaction.
Even if the Spirit Hall possessed many Titled Douluos, they would still have to be wary of General Lin Mu's strength, as he alone was comparable to several Titled Douluos.
"Just as Xiaotian said, I have already planned to move Godwind Academy to Heaven Dou City, which will avoid the Spirit Hall's suppression,"
Dean Shen Feng said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, the teachers present were all taken aback.
Was this decision a bit too hasty?
Just as everyone was stunned, a figure suddenly burst into the office, startling them.
Their first thought was that the Spirit Hall had sent a Titled Douluo to deal with Godwind Academy.
But when they saw who it was, their eyes were filled with shock and astonishment.
"General Lin Mu?!"
Facing their unanimous gazes, Lin Mu silently appeared in front of Dean Shen Feng.
Looking at the important figure before him, Dean Shen Feng swallowed hard.
Although Lin Mu and Feng Xiaotian were about the same age, at most twenty-seven or twenty-eight, he had already broken through to the Titled Douluo level, and his strength far surpassed that of his peers, making him one of the strongest people in the world.
He was undoubtedly a legendary figure!
Looking at Lin Mu, who was clearly the same age but didn't seem his age, Feng Xiaotian's lips curled into a bitter smile. So-called geniuses were merely the threshold to meeting him.
If he had focused all his energy on cultivation, perhaps the gap would be smaller.
"General, what brings you here personally?" Dean Shen Feng asked cautiously.
"I intend to merge the Four Elemental Academies into one," Lin Mu announced, surprising everyone present.
This statement stunned them, as they couldn't understand Lin Mu's purpose.
However, Dean Shen Feng seemed thoughtful; this might be an opportunity.
If the five academies merged, their overall strength would undoubtedly be greater, and with Lin Mu's connection, they might even become the number one academy on the entire continent.
After careful consideration, Dean Shen Feng asked, "General, who will serve as the dean of the merged academy?"
"Of course, it will be me. No one else is qualified,"
Lin Mu said calmly.
His slightly arrogant demeanor actually pleased them.
They would have been uncomfortable if Lin Mu had been too amiable; after all, such a top-tier expert was not someone they could afford to offend.
Moreover, Lin Mu was always like this; if he knew humility, he wouldn't have stormed the Supreme Pontiff's Palace and severely injured Pope Bibi Dong.
"If you agree to merge, I can teach you a self-created soul skill,"
Lin Mu added.
Since he planned to establish the Five Elements Academy, he naturally wanted to demonstrate some real skill and casually develop a few self-created soul skills.
Upon hearing about self-created soul skills, Dean Shen Feng and the others' eyes lit up.
Only Feng Xiaotian felt uncomfortable. He had spent a lot of effort developing the Stormwind Demon Wolf's Thirty Six Successive Chops.
Now, others could easily learn self-created soul skills, even ones stronger than the Stormwind Demon Wolf's Thirty Six Successive Chops. How could he accept this?
What did all his years of effort amount to?
With the temptation of self-created soul skills, Dean Shen Feng immediately agreed.
Next, Lin Mu went to Blazing Academy, Thunderclap Academy, and Skywater Academy, similarly recruiting them and promising to teach them self-created soul skills of the four elements.
Since the Elephant Armored Academy was established by the Elephant Armored Clan, and the Elephant Armored Clan was essentially a lackey of the Spirit Hall, Lin Mu had no intention of trying to win them over.
Besides, the Diamond Mammoth wasn't exactly a true earth-attribute martial soul.
