Before the Ghost Leopard Douluo could devise a countermeasure, Lin Mu's armor had already switched to the Thundercliff Armor.
"Titan Skybreaker!"
With a loud shout, Lin Mu aimed at the Ghost Leopard Douluo and unleashed a powerful punch, a beam of energy containing boundless gravity and force erupting forth.
Seeing this, the Ghost Leopard Douluo's expression changed slightly; this guy wasn't giving him a chance to react at all.
Just at this critical moment, a towering staff descended from the sky, blocking the Ghost Leopard Douluo's path.
"BANG!!"
The beam of energy slammed into the towering staff, unleashing a violent vibration and a deafening sound.
Although successfully blocked, the impact still knocked the towering staff down, and the shockwave heavily pressed the Ghost Leopard Douluo into the ground.
"Coiling Dragon Staff!"
Lin Mu's eyes narrowed, immediately recognizing this martial soul; indeed, the commotion had alerted the Worship Hall (Douluo Palace).
The next moment, the towering staff shrank rapidly and flew back into the air under control, finally landing steadily in the hands of a black-haired man.
"As expected of a hundred-thousand-year soul bone skill. It couldn't even be fully withstood by the Martial Soul Avatar of a top-tier weapon spirit. Interesting!"
The Falling Devil Douluo (Xiang Mo) sat atop a building, the Coiling Dragon Staff slung casually over his shoulder. His gaze was fixed on Lin Mu below, his fighting spirit almost overflowing.
"A tag-team battle?"
Lin Mu's expression turned slightly serious, but he still had no intention of fleeing. He wanted to use this opportunity to test his strength limits against a Super Douluo.
Therefore, he ignored the Ghost Leopard Douluo and attacked the Falling Devil Douluo directly.
The Ghost Leopard Douluo, having been crushed by the shockwave of the Coiling Dragon Staff, was certainly in bad shape and no longer posed a threat.
Seeing Lin Mu charging toward him, the Falling Devil Douluo smirked, leaped down from the building, and swung his staff at Lin Mu with terrifying force.
Lin Mu, in response, used his Nava Flame Armor's Molten Scale Blade and clashed head-on.
"CLANG!!"
The two weapons collided, sparks flying fiercely.
"You brat... are you really just a Soul Douluo?"
The Falling Devil Douluo, sensing the opponent's power was no less than his own, showed a look of genuine shock. To withstand a Super Douluo's strike as a mere Soul Douluo was simply unimaginable.
Facing the question, Lin Mu didn't reply.
Since a direct confrontation wouldn't give him an overwhelming advantage, Lin Mu decisively switched back to the Hurricane Armor, using his speed advantage to create distance instantly.
"Gone?"
The Falling Devil Douluo's pupils suddenly contracted. Even an Agility Attack System Titled Douluo wouldn't possess such terrifying acceleration.
Next, Lin Mu used ranged attacks, constantly wearing down the Falling Devil Douluo's patience with the wind arrows of the Hurricane Armor's Mad Kite Bow.
After a period of torment, the Falling Devil Douluo finally couldn't suppress his anger and directly activated his eighth soul ring.
"Eighth Soul Skill: Falling Devil Coiling Dragon Ring!"
He hurled a massive energy ring from his staff. The moment it was thrown, the Dragon Ring expanded and spun rapidly like a buzzsaw, locking onto Lin Mu's location.
However, this was precisely the opportunity Lin Mu had been waiting for.
Lin Mu's figure flashed, unleashing a speed exceeding three times the speed of sound, disappearing from the Falling Devil Douluo's sight once more.
"Gone again?!"
The Falling Devil Douluo was completely dumbfounded. Without a target, his eighth soul skill was essentially wasted.
Even after scanning his surroundings with spiritual power, he still couldn't find Lin Mu.
"Scarlet Demon Hellfire Kick!"
Lin Mu had already arrived directly above the Falling Devil Douluo's head and immediately used his right leg bone skill, unleashing three consecutive kicks downward.
Unlike his previous sparring with the Bone Douluo, this time he held nothing back.
"BANG!!"
The first attack alone pierced through the Coiling Dragon Staff's defensive aura, striking the Falling Devil Douluo's body directly.
Suffering such a heavy blow, the Falling Devil Douluo coughed up a mouthful of blood.
This wasn't the end. Two more attacks followed immediately. First, an explosion knocked the Falling Devil Douluo from the sky, his body scorched by flames.
Then, the final attack, a mental strike, pierced through his defenses, burning his spiritual sea and causing him excruciating pain.
Unlike Beast Soul Masters who have enhanced physiques, Weapon Soul Masters have relatively weaker bodies. Offensive Weapon Soul Masters, in particular, often lack robust defensive skills.
"BANG!!"
With a loud crash, the Falling Devil Douluo slammed into the front steps of the Supreme Pontiff's Palace, creating another large crater in this sacred place.
"Even the Seventh Elder is no match for him..."
Bibi Dong's expression grew increasingly grim. She had thought the Falling Devil Douluo, a Level 96 Super Douluo, could at least hold out for a while, but he had been defeated so quickly.
There was no way around it; Lin Mu's capabilities were too well-rounded.
Especially his cyan armor, which gave him near-teleportation speed. Even if several Titled Douluos attacked simultaneously, they had no chance to catch him.
If it were just one armor type, the Falling Devil Douluo wouldn't have been at such a disadvantage. But Lin Mu could easily switch between his three armors, using their respective advantages to launch attacks that were impossible to defend against.
This fighting style was too versatile!
"Bibi Dong, now it's your turn!"
Just as Lin Mu was about to attack Bibi Dong, two figures flew in from behind, none other than the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluos, who had "recovered" and arrived just in time.
"Bipolar Static Domain!"
In an instant, the eighteen soul rings on the duo condensed into a huge golden-silver halo, enveloping Lin Mu.
Under the halo's cover, the space within a hundred meters was almost completely frozen.
"Is he really under control this time?"
Looking at Lin Mu within the controlled area, Bibi Dong was still wary. According to Lor Diarra's report, Lin Mu had the ability to break free from this domain.
Therefore, Bibi Dong decisively used her strongest single-target attack available.
"Sixth Soul Skill: Eternal Creation!"
Two massive, emerald-green scythes formed from energy slashed out in a cross shape, rushing straight toward the immobilized Lin Mu.
However, the moment the light wave struck Lin Mu, his body vanished into motes of light.
"It really didn't work."
Bibi Dong's brows furrowed. She naturally didn't believe that Lin Mu had been killed so easily; he must have used a skill to escape the lock.
The next moment, Lin Mu appeared gracefully before Bibi Dong, like a shadow following the wind.
Just as Lin Mu was about to strike, another Coiling Dragon Staff swung out from the side, sending him flying several meters back.
Immediately afterward, a man appeared beside the fallen Falling Devil Douluo. The staff that had knocked Lin Mu away flew back into his hand.
This man was none other than the Thousand Jun Douluo (Qian Jun), the brother of the Falling Devil Douluo.
Besides him, a blond man quietly approached Lin Mu, descending from the sky like a deity.
The blond man looked to be only in his thirties or forties, handsome and with an extraordinary, holy aura. He was clearly Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of Spirit Hall and one of the three Limit Douluos of the era.
"You are Lin Mu?"
Qian Daoliu didn't attack. Instead, he carefully examined Lin Mu, his gaze scrutinizing him, not as an enemy, but more like a grandfather inspecting a grandson-in-law.
Upon hearing this, Lin Mu decisively lowered his weapon and admitted, "That's right, I am Lin Mu."
With any other Limit Douluo, Lin Mu might have been worried. But knowing Qian Renxue's connection, he was certain Qian Daoliu wouldn't kill him without reason.
"Are you willing to join Spirit Hall?"
Qian Daoliu's gaze was piercing. He naturally knew about Lin Mu's relationship with "Xue'er." If he could recruit this person into Spirit Hall, the organization would be invincible.
Moreover, Lin Mu possessed the potential to become a God, making him a perfect match for Qian Renxue. The two could rely on each other if they entered the God Realm together.
It was precisely for this reason that he didn't reject their relationship, despite the chaos Lin Mu had caused today.
"My apologies, but..."
