The next morning, Tang San, Yu Tianheng, and the others went to participate in the first assessment.
At this time, under the care of Ah Yin, Lin Mu leisurely woke up in bed. Since Ah Yin had been taking care of his daily life, he had become increasingly lazy.
However, he had no intention of changing for the time being. After cultivating diligently for so many years, couldn't he enjoy himself a little?
Besides, how could he refuse Ah Yin's warm hospitality?
After a morning massage, Ah Yin looked up at Lin Mu and asked, "Ah Mu, will Little San and the others be in danger when they go to participate in the assessment?"
"Don't worry, their first assessment is not too difficult. As long as they cultivate diligently, they will definitely pass."
Lin Mu replied calmly.
Except for Bai Chenxiang, the others were all members of the Royal Fighting Team. They had experienced his gravity training before and had also taken a lot of body-tempering pills, so passing the Sea God's Light would not be a problem.
As for Bai Chenxiang, she had taken pills made from two kinds of immortal herbs, and the difficulty of the Black-level Fourth Assessment was relatively simple, so she would not encounter any danger.
"That's good."
Reassured by Lin Mu, Ah Yin finally felt relieved. Although she hoped her son would achieve great things and become as powerful as his master, she longed even more for her family to be together.
As for that drunkard, she had long forgotten him, and her body had become completely compatible with Lin Mu.
Suddenly, she remembered something, grabbed Lin Mu's large hand, her expression slightly worried, and said, "Tang Chen is also on Sea God Island. Could he harm my son?"
Although Tang Chen had left the Clear Sky Sect long ago, he was still Tang Hao's grandfather.
If he knew the cause of Tang Hao's death, it would likely endanger Tang San's life, and he certainly wouldn't let his master, Lin Mu, off the hook.
Lin Mu remained calm and composed.
Since condensing his fourth soul core, his strength had increased dramatically, and he had no reason to fear Tang Chen, who had forcibly risen to the demigod level.
Moreover, given Tang Chen's personality, even if he knew the truth, he might not choose to attack.
Lin Mu then reached out and stroked Ah Yin's long blue hair, saying, "Since I'm free, I'll go find Tang Chen for a sparring match and take care of Little San's matter while I'm at it."
"Then I'll wait for you at the City Lord's Mansion."
Ah Yin's eyes were full of concern, but she didn't try to stop him.
Instead, she was thinking of Lin Mu like a wife. It was precisely because of this that Lin Mu couldn't refuse Ah Yin's offer of gratitude.
After flying halfway around Sea God Island, Lin Mu finally found Tang Chen in a flowerbed.
Besides him, Bo Saixi was also in the flowerbed; the two elderly people seemed to be having a secret rendezvous.
Because Lin Mu hadn't deliberately concealed his aura, the two below quickly noticed and awkwardly separated.
Seeing this, Lin Mu's lips twitched slightly. He could understand Bo Saixi's reaction; Tang Chen already had a wife, so why was he pretending like a shy boyfriend?
"Brother Lin Mu, please come down for a chat."
Hearing Tang Chen's call, Lin Mu flashed and instantly appeared in front of the two.
Witnessing such terrifying speed, Tang Chen's and Bo Saixi's pupils shrank, a look of horror flashing in their eyes.
After a moment, Tang Chen suppressed his shock and exclaimed, "I didn't expect that in just over a year, you've already reached the Limit Douluo level, far stronger than I was back then."
"Hehe, just a small breakthrough. I came here to spar with you."
Lin Mu's gaze was sharp, his tone carrying an undeniable force.
Before Tang Chen could respond, Bo Saixi immediately objected, "No, his body is on the verge of collapse. If he fights a Soul Master of the same level, accidents could easily happen."
Tang Chen nodded silently; he knew his physical condition best.
If it weren't for the Blue Silver Pills given to him by Tang San, he would be dead by now.
Seeing this, Lin Mu's lips curled into a smile, a hint of mockery in his voice.
"Bo Saixi, you don't want Tang Chen to die so soon, do you?"
Hearing this, Bo Saixi was startled at first, then excitedly grabbed Lin Mu's arm.
"You have a way to cure him?"
"Of course not, but I can let him live a little longer."
As he spoke, Lin Mu subtly withdrew his hand; he had no interest in Bo Saixi.
If he had any interest, he wouldn't have let his disciple receive the Sea God's inheritance. After all, it's easy for a superior to train a subordinate.
"Living a little longer is good."
A trace of melancholy appeared in Bo Saixi's eyes, but she didn't insist. So many years had passed; she was already old. She would be content as long as she could stay with Tang Chen for a few more years.
After all, as the High Priestess of Sea God Island, her fate was already sealed.
"Brother Lin Mu, I can sense the divine power fluctuations of three gods on you. What's going on?"
"Three gods want me to inherit their divine positions. I haven't decided which one to choose yet."
Lin Mu replied casually to Tang Chen's question.
Upon hearing this, Tang Chen was utterly astonished. Were divine inheritances so cheap now, practically handed to him on a silver platter?
He recalled how much time he had spent searching for divine inheritances, ultimately becoming a ruthless, bloodthirsty king.
Compared to Lin Mu, his fate was truly tragic.
Bo Saixi was equally incredulous, never expecting Lin Mu to be so powerful, with three gods vying for him as their successor.
If Lin Mu had been born in her era, she might have chosen him.
Seeing their stunned reactions, Lin Mu's lips curled into a slight smile, and he continued the previous topic:
"Can we spar now?"
"No problem, but we need to find a remote place."
Tang Chen, no longer hesitant, immediately agreed.
Some time later, Lin Mu and Tang Chen arrived at a sea reef. Bo Saixi did not come along; as the High Priestess of Sea God Island, she needed to remain on the island at all times and could not leave without permission.
Although she held the title of High Priestess, she was essentially just a high-ranking pawn.
"Brother Lin Mu, I wonder if you've ever fought against any disciples of our Clear Sky Sect, or experienced any of their unique techniques?"
As he spoke, Tang Chen held his head high, a hint of arrogant disdain in his eyes.
After all, he had developed several of the Clear Sky Sect's unique techniques.
However, Lin Mu's expression was strange. He hadn't just fought against Clear Sky Sect disciples; he had even crippled the sect leader and five elders.
"Enough with the nonsense, let's begin."
"In that case, let's fight!"
With that, Tang Chen immediately summoned the Clear Sky Hammer, his figure flashing like lightning as he hurtled toward Lin Mu. The hammer suddenly grew several times its original size, crashing down with a whistling sound.
Seeing this, Lin Mu didn't dodge, instead wielding his Lightning Thunder Sword.
In an instant, the two exchanged several blows. Tang Chen's mastery of the Clear Sky Nine Absolute Techniques far surpassed that of the others, allowing him to barely withstand Lin Mu's attacks.
