But Su Mo was different; he immediately offered a complete set of three-word battle armor.
Su Mo spread his hands, blinked innocently at Ling Zichen, and said, "If your Tang Clan is willing, I don't mind."
"No, this condition is too much. Let's change it."
Ling Zichen looked at Su Mo, who was putting on an innocent face, and said through gritted teeth.
"But this is all I want!"
Su Mo raised her head, looking as if she couldn't live without it.
"Dream on!" Ling Zichen retorted firmly.
Seeing that Su Mo and Ling Zichen were at an impasse, Mu Xi tugged at Su Mo's sleeve and whispered, "It's okay, junior. If you want a complete set of three-word battle armor, I'll ask my dad to make one for you."
Although Mu Xi tried to lower her voice, Ling Zichen and the others could still hear her clearly at such close range.
Mu Xi's words, "I'll beg my dad to make you a set," instantly dealt a devastating blow to Ling Zichen's psyche.
To Mu Xi, this little rich girl, the fact that she was arguing so fiercely with Su Mo was nothing more than her trying to charm her father.
She was jealous, really jealous.
Although Ling Zichen is the chief scientist of the Tang Sect, the Tang Sect is, after all, an organization, and the budgets of each department are limited.
This often leads to funding shortages for her experiments.
If she had a master craftsman father like Mu Xi, she wouldn't need to worry about funding her experiments all the time.
Su Mo patted Mu Xi's hand and said softly, "Senior, this has nothing to do with you. This is compensation that Tang Sect owes me!"
Hearing Su Mo's words, Ling Zichen was so angry that he wanted to curse.
Mu Xi had clearly promised to make him a complete set of three-word battle armor, but Su Mo seemed determined to make the Tang Clan the suckers.
"There's no room for negotiation on this; you should choose another one."
"Otherwise, even if I agree, the vice sect leader won't agree."
Ling Zichen gritted his teeth and refused to budge.
Seeing that Ling Zichen refused to back down and even used the Tang Clan's vice sect leader as a shield, Su Mo had no choice but to back down.
"I can forgo the full set of three-word battle armor, but your Tang Sect must find me an external soul bone of a grade no lower than my right-hand soul bone."
"This is acceptable!"
Seeing that Su Mo had agreed, Ling Zichen readily agreed, afraid that Su Mo would change her mind.
While external soul bones are rare, they are far less valuable than a complete set of three-word battle armor.
Besides, what good soul bones could a great soul master like Su Mo possibly have? We can just grab one from the Tang Sect's inventory.
"Here, this is the soul bone of my right hand!"
Seeing that Ling Zichen agreed, Su Mo stopped pretending and cheerfully offered her right hand.
"I work from 8 AM!!!"
Seeing Su Mo's right claw gleaming with a dark golden light, Ling Zichen knew perfectly well that he had been tricked by Su Mo.
Didn't I say before that Cao Dezhi sent Ling Zichen? I only remembered halfway through writing that Cao Dezhi wasn't in the Tang Sect at this time, but was in the Blood God Camp as Blood One.
Therefore, Cao Dezhi was changed to Zang Xin as the deputy sect leader.

Chapter 43 Leng Yulai Arrives!
"Director Ling, you just promised me."
"Your Tang Clan wouldn't go back on your word, would you?"
Su Mo, always eager for excitement, chimed in.
"Little brat, this is what you really wanted from the start, isn't it!"
Ling Zichen, who had stopped outputting, glared at Su Mo and spoke fiercely.
As the chief scientist of the Tang Sect, if she couldn't even recognize such a precious material as the Dark Gold Terror Claw, she might as well lose her eyes.
No wonder Su Mo changed her mind; she was waiting for me here.
Although the Tang Sect has accumulated a lot of soul bones over the past ten thousand years, the Great Sweep in the Far North five thousand years ago made the Tang Sect and the Spirit Pagoda extremely wealthy.
Even so, finding an external soul bone of the same grade as the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's right palm bone is still quite challenging.
This grade of soul bone is generally used in the Tang Sect to train hall masters.
"Ok!"
Su Mo didn't argue, but readily admitted it.
Seeing that Su Mo had admitted it, Ling Zichen's expression softened considerably. "Little brat, congratulations, you've achieved your goal."
Although she was very unhappy that Su Mo had tricked her, she had already agreed to Su Mo's request.
She would do anything to get Su Mo an external soul bone of the same quality as the right palm bone of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
Keeping one's word is one of Ling Zichen's principles in life.
“Little brat, now you can tell me about what happened to you in the Hall of Heroes.”
"of course can!"
Just as Su Mo was about to speak, she saw Ling Zichen turn to look at Mu Xi, "Miss Mu Xi, what follows involves the secrets of our Tang Clan. Could you please leave your boyfriend for a while?"
"Oh no, no!" Mu Xi's cheeks flushed slightly as she waved her hands repeatedly, "My junior and I aren't in that kind of relationship yet!"
Mu Xi didn't hear a word Ling Zichen said, only the last sentence, "your little boyfriend."
"..."
Looking at Mu Xi's shy expression, Ling Zichen was speechless.
He winked at Xu Li, who understood and led Mu Xi out.
After Mu Xi was led out of the room by Xu Li, Ling Zichen nodded in satisfaction and looked at Su Mo again, "Little brat, now you can begin your story."
Before coming to see Su Mo, Ling Zichen had already visited the Tang Clan's branch in Donghai City.
Unfortunately, there was no record of Su Mo's information from that day in the system.
If Wu Changkong hadn't repeatedly assured him that he hadn't done anything, Ling Zichen would have really suspected that Wu Changkong had taken it upon himself to delete the records in the system.
Su Mo did not hide anything and told Ling Zichen everything that happened between her and Tang San in the Hall of Heroes.
Ling Zichen listened attentively, his expression growing increasingly serious.
After Su Mo finished speaking, Ling Zichen's brows furrowed into a deep line.
Ling Zichen herself didn't know much about the Hall of Heroes, because the project had already been running before she joined the Tang Sect.
Zang Xin sent her here simply because all the researchers involved in the construction of the Hall of Heroes had already passed away, and they could only rely on her, the chief scientist of the Tang Clan.
"I don't remember the code for destroying the rings being written into the Hall of Heroes back then!"
Ling Zichen scratched his head in distress.
If Su Mo wasn't lying, then there were too many suspicious points in this matter, and she needed to go back and check the records left over from when the Hall of Heroes was built.
"Little brat, thank you for telling me."
"Please do not reveal anything about the Hall of Heroes to anyone else. As for the Soul Bone, I will have Wu Changkong deliver it to you."
Before leaving, Ling Zichen made sure to give Su Mo some important instructions.
No sooner had Ling Zichen left than Mu Xi peeked in.
"Junior, did Big Butt give you any trouble?"
Mu Xi sat down next to Su Mo in a carefree manner and asked with concern.
"No, thank you so much for standing up for me just now!"
"It's nothing!"
Mu Xi quickly waved her hand, then patted her slightly protruding chest and solemnly assured Su Mo.
"Junior, if Big Butt goes back on his word, you must come to me. I will definitely help you get justice."
Mu Xi said this, but she was actually quite grateful to Ling Zichen.
If it weren't for her appearance, her relationship with Su Mo might not have progressed so quickly.
Didn't you see that Su Mo isn't uncomfortable at all, even though you're sitting side by side with her?
However, the thought that Su Mo had to cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo before the age of eighteen to survive made Mu Xi's heart ache, and she felt so heavy that she could hardly breathe.
Seeing Mu Xi's worried expression, Su Mo felt like he was a terrible person for deceiving such a devoted girl.
The idea that he wouldn't live past eighteen was actually something he orchestrated himself.
The Eight Gates Formation and the Seven Heavens Breathing Technique are both incredibly powerful, one burning the heart and the other exploding the lungs. It would be strange if one could live long if they used both at the same time.
However, Su Mo already had a solution.
He wasn't a completely untrained Uchiha like Sasuke, who knew nothing about the Uchiha's ancestral ninjutsu.
Don't underestimate the power of the Uchiha's eyes!
Long before activating the Eight Gates and the Seven-Day Breathing Technique, Su Mo had already used Izanagi to record his physical condition and used the Uchiha family's ancestral ninjutsu, the Transcription Seal, to set the activation time of Izanagi to one month later.
The Transcribing Seal is a technique that uses the Sharingan to seal ninjutsu into the eyes of either the user or the target. When certain conditions are met, the seal will automatically release, and the sealed ninjutsu will be released.
Madara used the Transcription Seal to seal Izanagi in his right eye, allowing him to fake his death and escape without anyone's knowledge.
So as long as we wait a month, regardless of whether Su Mo is alive or dead at that time, as long as his right eye is still in Izanagi, it will automatically trigger and restore Su Mo's physical condition to the state before he opened the Eight Gates and the Seven Days Breathing Technique.
Of course, Su Mo could also lift the transcribing seal in advance and release Izanagi ahead of time.
