Moreover, during Su Mo's fight with the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Wu Changkong also noticed the unusual aspects of Su Mo's swordsmanship.
Even though the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear dodged Su Mo's sword strikes several times, it still managed to get injured.
Su Mo didn't answer, but looked at Wu Changkong with the same look she would give an idiot.
Asking about other people's secrets right off the bat—this Wu Changkong is a brainless idiot, what a waste of that aloof face.
Feeling the strange look in Su Mo's eyes, Wu Changkong realized that he had been a bit presumptuous.
However, Wu Changkong showed no remorse and instead complained that Su Mo was ungrateful.
As his teacher, isn't it perfectly normal for me to ask him about his soul skills?
In Wu Changkong's eyes, as Su Mo's teacher, Su Mo must unconditionally obey his orders, even if they are wrong.
If it weren't for the fact that Tang Wulin still needed to use Su Mo's spot to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform, even with Yu Zhen, the principal of Donghai Academy, giving him special instructions, he would have kicked Su Mo out of Class Zero.
Students who disobey their teachers are not worthy of their instruction; this is the arrogance of Wu Changkong as a disciple of Shrek Academy and Tang Clan.
Having been rebuffed by Su Mo, Wu Changkong snorted and turned to continue observing Tang Wulin and the others.
Inside the Ascension Platform, Tang Wulin and his group encountered the siblings Xu Xiaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan after successfully defeating the Human-Faced Demon Spider.
In order to seize the soul power aura that Tang Wulin and his group had hunted, the Xu siblings and Tang Wulin's group fought each other.
However, the Xu siblings seemed to have misjudged the fighting strength of Tang Wulin and his group, and were easily eliminated by them.
After eliminating the Xu siblings, Tang Wulin and his group did not encounter the fleeing Flame Lion pack because the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was no longer involved.
After symbolically hunting down a few more hundred-year-old soul beasts, Tang Wulin and his group, whose time had run out, were forcibly teleported out.
"Dance teacher!!!"
As soon as Tang Wulin came out of the simulator, he couldn't wait to share the good news with Wu Changkong.
This time, they not only made a fortune in the Ascension Platform, but also survived to the end.
Seeing Tang Wulin happily sharing the good news with him, Wu Changkong's cold expression finally softened slightly.
"You all did a great job this time; you all passed the final exam."
Wu Changkong's praise delighted Tang Wulin and the others, as this was the first time they had received his affirmation since they had followed him for so long.
Even the usually aloof Gu Yue couldn't help but smile slightly after hearing Wu Changkong's praise.
Seeing Wu Changkong and Tang Wulin looking so happy, Su Mo sneered inwardly.
Although Su Mo didn't know whether Wu Changkong did it intentionally or unintentionally, he had to admit that Wu Changkong's strategy of first suppressing and then elevating was indeed very effective.
They didn't see how happy the Silver Dragon King, who carried the hopes of all the soul beasts for the future, was because of a single, costless compliment.
Su Mo yawned, intending to go back to sleep. He had no interest in watching Tang Wulin and Wu Changkong put on a show of deep master-disciple affection.
“Su Mo, classmate…”
Just as Su Mo was about to leave, Tang Wulin called her back.
"What's matter?"
Su Mo turned around expressionlessly and responded indifferently.
Although Su Mo knew that Tang Wulin would be her enemy in the future, she didn't mind becoming close friends with him before things escalated to a point of no return.
Hearing Su Mo's indifferent tone, Tang Wulin's joyful smile froze, and he felt inexplicably frustrated.
This was the first time Tang Wulin had ever encountered someone like Su Mo who ignored him. Although Xie Xie was also arrogant before, he had not ignored his existence.
Su Mo's tone was very calm, so calm that Tang Wulin felt like he was just an insignificant presence in front of Su Mo, which made Tang Wulin, who was used to being the center of attention, feel a little uncomfortable.
Seeing that Tang Wulin remained silent, Su Mo urged indifferently, "If there's nothing else, I'll head back!"
"Wait……"
Seeing that Su Mo was about to step out the door, Tang Wulin didn't have time to think and quickly took out the cloud titanium vest he had made.
Because Tang Wulin had been using Su Mo's spot to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform, he specially made one for Su Mo when he was making the Cloud Titanium Vest.
Tang Wulin originally intended to give it to Su Mo before entering the Spirit Ascension Platform, but after seeing Su Mo's indifferent attitude towards Wu Changkong, he inexplicably gave up the idea.
"Su Mo, this vest was specially made for you."
"With this, when you act alone in the Ascension Platform in the future..."
"No need, this thing is useless to me!"
Seeing the vest Tang Wulin handed over, Su Mo waved his hand and refused without even looking at it.
Tang Wulin was clearly surprised to be rejected by Su Mo, and stood there stunned, not knowing what to do.
Su Mo's cold rejection prompted Xie Xie, Tang Wulin's best friend, to jump in and criticize, "How can you be so ungrateful?"
"If Wu Lin gives it to you, just take it. He's not charging you any money."
Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi nodded in agreement, and even Gu Yue frowned slightly, feeling that Su Mo's refusal was a bit too much.
After taking in everyone's attitudes, Su Mo slowly replied, "Just because he gives me something doesn't mean I have to accept it."
"Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of ulterior motives or theft; I don't need to remind you of that principle again."
"you……"
Su Mo's words left Xie Xie speechless, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became serious.
Aside from Wang Ling and his staff who seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold, Tang Wulin and his group were rendered speechless by the rebuttal.
"besides……"
Su Mo glanced around at everyone again and said in a deep voice, "These little toys are really useless to me. Even if I accepted them, they would just gather dust in a corner. It would be better to keep them and give them to other people who need them more."
The tense atmosphere eased considerably after Su Mo said those words. Tang Wulin's eyes widened in surprise, not expecting that Su Mo had rejected him for this reason.
Although Su Mo's tone was still as cold as before, Tang Wulin and the others could clearly feel the softening in Su Mo's tone.
Xie Xie turned his head to the side and curled his lip in disdain at Su Mo's words, saying, "Tch! You, a Great Soul Master, have been inside for less time than a few of us Human Soul Masters. How dare you say such a thing?"
Xie Xie, as one of the first users, has ample authority to speak on just how useful Tang Wulin's Cloud Titanium Vest is.
In the previous battle with the Human-Faced Demon Spider, the cloud titanium vest that Tang Wulin gave him helped him block several fatal attacks.
Without this vest, they might not have been able to defeat the Spider-Man so easily.
But now Su Mo, a guy who hasn't even spent as much time in the Spirit Ascension Platform as Xie Xie, is saying that the Cloud Titanium Vest made by Wu Lin is useless to him. How can Xie Xie not be angry?

Chapter 22 The Strange Mu Xi
"Pfft~"
After Xie Xie finished speaking, Wang Ling and the others, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, couldn't help but burst out laughing, and even Wu Changkong's expression became extremely strange.
Although Xie Xie and his group's achievement of defeating the Hundred-Year-Old Human-Faced Demon Spider with their Soul Master cultivation was quite impressive, it paled in comparison to Su Mo's victory over the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear without taking any damage.
Xie Xie and his companions had worked so hard to defeat the Man-Faced Demon Spider, but when they encountered the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, it was a matter of a single swipe of its claws, leaving them no chance to escape.
Xie Xie wasn't stupid. When he noticed the gloating look in Wang Ling's and the others' eyes, an ominous premonition instantly welled up in his heart.
Am I going to turn into a clown?
Realizing something was wrong, Xie Xie quickly looked at Wu Changkong.
Wu Changkong's face showed a hint of helplessness. Just as he was about to explain the situation, a gentle knocking sound came from outside the door, attracting everyone's attention.
A middle-aged man dressed in a suit and tie, yet exuding a friendly aura, appeared at the door, followed by a large group of Spirit Pagoda staff.
Upon recognizing the person, Wang Ling immediately strode forward and said in a fawning tone, "President Mu, what brings you here?"
In Donghai City, you may not know the mayor or councilors, but you absolutely cannot be unaware of the person in front of you, the only eight-star master craftsman in the entire Tianhai region.
If Mu Chen hadn't volunteered to come to Donghai City to serve as the president of the Donghai City Blacksmith Association, it would have been almost impossible for such a big shot as him to appear in a small place like Donghai City.
Even someone as proud and arrogant as Wu Changkong showed a hint of respect in his eyes after seeing Mu Chen.
It is truly commendable that Mu Chen, as one of the most famous master craftsmen in the Sun and Moon Federation, would be willing to lower himself to come to the small place of Donghai City to guide the development of local blacksmiths.
"Teacher, why are you here?"
Upon seeing Mu Chen suddenly appear, Tang Wulin assumed that the other party had come to see him and quickly went to greet him.
"teacher!!!"
Upon hearing Tang Wulin's address to Mu Chen, everyone else on the field was startled and turned to look at Tang Wulin in disbelief.
Xie Xie moved closer to Tang Wulin and whispered, "Wulin, when did you become Master Mu's disciple? I didn't know."
As a native of Donghai, Xie Xie had naturally heard of Mu Chen's great name.
Xie Xie couldn't understand how Tang Wulin, a guy from a small town, could be involved with a big shot like Mu Chen.
Xie Xie didn't look down on Tang Wulin; he was just simply curious.
He remembered very clearly how shabby Tang Wulin looked when he first arrived at Donghai Academy.
"That's a long story..."
Tang Wulin scratched his head sheepishly.
Becoming Mu Chen's apprentice is indeed a proud thing.
However, Tang Wulin believed that he had become Mu Chen's apprentice in order to learn forging techniques from him. If he were to spread the word that he was Mu Chen's disciple, it would be somewhat malicious.
Therefore, after becoming Bai Muchen's disciple, Tang Wulin never mentioned this matter to anyone.
"Wu Lin, what are you doing here?"
Seeing Tang Wulin there, a look of surprise flashed across Mu Chen's face.
"My classmates and I came to the Ascension Platform for training!"
"Coming to the Ascension Platform for training?"
Mu Chen found it hard to believe, as he knew Tang Wulin's situation all too well.
