Chapter 708: Inexperienced?

Lin Mo felt a group of people approaching rapidly in his direction. Among them, one person held a folding fan with the words "Dragon City Association" printed on it.

"The Dragon City Association? We should leave," Nine Lives suggested.

Lin Mo pondered for a moment, then looked at Guisi Yan and asked, "Old man, can you figure out what materials are needed to repair this spiritual treasure?"

"I need to think about it. This thing requires quite a few items," Guisi Yan replied.

"These powerful associations should have collected many materials. There might be a chance to gather some from them," Lin Mo said, "But we can't let the Dragon City Association know it's me."

He then reached into his Qiankun bag and pulled out a mask, putting it on. Next, he stowed Nine Lives, Zhao Yun, and Guisi Yan all into the Emperor Spirit Space, along with the hundred-zhang large Creation Ancient Stele, which was stored in his Dragon-Form Elemental Spirit Sea.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Soon, dozens of breaking sounds echoed in the sky, and Lin Mo looked up to see the man with the folding fan at the forefront of the group.

It seemed that this man was the leader of the Dragon City Association's team this time, and his strength was indeed much higher than the others.

However, this group of people was not as powerful as Lin Mo had imagined. But compared to the average strength of the Azure Dragon Academy, they were quite formidable.

The leader had a fluctuation in his aura at around the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Soul Communication Realm, while the others were at the Third or Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Soul Communication Realm. In Lin Mo's eyes, they were not particularly strong, but for the Azure Dragon Academy's team, they were considered a fairly strong group.

After all, during the Hundred Academies Competition, the exploration teams sent out were only at the Second or Third Heavenly Layer of the Soul Communication Realm.

"Huh? Didn't we sense a spiritual treasure fluctuation just now?" Wei Lingxi looked puzzled as he glanced down at Lin Mo and muttered to himself.

"What are you looking for, senior brothers?" Lin Mo asked, looking at them.

The group also noticed Lin Mo and showed surprise when they saw him alone.

"Which association are you from, and where is your team? Did you see a huge ancient stele just now?" Wei Lingxi directly questioned Lin Mo with a scrutinizing gaze.

Lin Mo replied, "The huge ancient stele belonged to a senior brother, and he has already taken it away."

"As for me, I'm called Leng Mo, and I haven't joined an association yet. This time, I came here to gain some experience on my own."

"On your own?" Someone remarked, seemingly surprised.

"Yes, senior brother," Lin Mo replied one by one.

Although he didn't fear the people in front of him, he was already calculating how to trick them into giving him the materials. Therefore, he couldn't reveal his true identity.

"These newbies nowadays don't know their place," someone chuckled.

"Yeah, isn't that right? That Lin Mo from a while ago was just like this. After getting some fame, he felt like he was the best."

"That's right! If our leader comes back, he won't let him off!"

...

As they talked about the newcomers, they naturally thought of Lin Mo, who had made them grit their teeth.

"Exactly!" Lin Mo inwardly smiled. It seemed that the Dragon City Association really considered him a target.

"Are you from the Dragon City Association? Can you accept me into the association?" Lin Mo put on an innocent expression and asked eagerly.

Wei Lingxi looked at him and coldly smiled, "You? Want to join our Dragon City Association? I'm sorry, but we don't accept idiots."

"That's right, a person who dares to come to the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain alone, either has a problem with their brain or is inexperienced," someone chimed in.

"Our Dragon City Association doesn't accept just anyone."

...

Most members of the Dragon City Association were young masters from various major families in the Azure Dragon City, so almost every one of them had a high opinion of themselves.

For this reason, they had been struggling to compete with other associations in the past few years, which was a significant factor.

"Alright," Lin Mo said with a wry smile and turned to leave.

"Kid, let me give you some advice. You better return to the Azure Dragon Academy and join a small association before coming out with a team like this. Otherwise, if you die here in the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain, no one will even bother to collect your corpse," Wei Lingxi looked at Lin Mo's back and coldly advised.

"Such a person can only be accepted by a foolish association," the others laughed mockingly.

"Wait and see. I won't let you off until I squeeze all your materials out. My name is not Lin if I don't!" Lin Mo silently made a note of it in his heart. However, it was not appropriate to discuss the matter of materials at the moment, so he didn't confront them. Instead, he left while enduring their taunts.

"Lin Mo, can you really tolerate this kind of humiliation?" Inside the Emperor Spirit Space, Nine Lives asked in amazement.

"What can I do if I can't tolerate it? That team leader from the Dragon City Association is at the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Soul Communication Realm. I'm not his match," Lin Mo replied.

"That's because you don't understand Lin Mo's true strength," Nine Lives retorted, raising an eyebrow.

Zhao Yun had a look of understanding and said, "Lin Mo is probably calculating how to trick them into giving him the materials."

"Planning what? Don't put yourself in danger. If you can't handle it later, remember to release me. I don't want to die in this godforsaken place," Guisi Yan grumbled.
