Looking at Lin Mo's calm expression, Yu Xiaogang sighed inwardly.

It seemed Lin Mo had long since made up his mind to attempt absorbing a thousand-year soul ring for his second slot.

He feared that regardless of his own warnings, the boy would have attempted a thousand-year second ring anyway.

Realizing this, Yu Xiaogang's expression turned desolate.

A thousand-year second soul ring was not merely a legend.

At the very least, he had seen it with his own eyes.

The Pope of Martial Soul Hall, Bibi Dong, who possessed the same Twin Martial Souls talent as Tang San, had a thousand-year quality second ring for her first martial soul.

The dormitory fell into silence.

Lin Mo noticed the change in Yu Xiaogang's expression but did not ask about it.

After a long while, Lin Mo spoke up: "Thank you for the advice, Master. I will consider it carefully."

From the very beginning, he had not been opposed to building a good relationship with Yu Xiaogang.

As for whether he would actually go to Shrek Academy, that would require some time to decide.

Moreover, if he were to rely on the help of high-level academy soul masters to obtain his second soul ring, the chances were high that he would have to anchor it at the hundred-year level.

A thousand-year second ring was far too conspicuous.

Without a sufficiently powerful background to ensure his own safety, exposing the talent of a thousand-year second ring prematurely would leave him with only two fates in the eyes of other major powers.

Either be recruited or be destroyed.

Unfortunately, there would be more than one faction looking to recruit him, and by the same token, there would certainly be more than one looking to destroy him.

Therefore, he had to keep a low profile; the risk of acting rashly was simply too great.

Seeing that Lin Mo remained hesitant, Yu Xiaogang spoke slowly, administering a final, potent dose of persuasion: "The academy I recommend is located in a remote area.

Furthermore, the school is quite eccentric; the number of students is even smaller than the number of teachers.

If you are willing to go there, the risk of your soul ring being exposed and the dangers it brings will be greatly reduced.

And once you graduate from the academy, whether you choose to join a faction or remain a lone ranger, you will have attained a certain level of self-preservation."

Lin Mo raised his head, his gaze meeting Yu Xiaogang's.

Yu Xiaogang's words had hit the nail on the head.

The reason he hesitated, when it all came down to it, was the issue of safety.

The reputation of a thousand-year second ring was too loud; once exposed, given his current strength and background, he simply could not handle the fallout.

Shrek Academy was located in a remote, sparsely populated area, which would indeed save him a lot of trouble.

"Then many thanks, Master." Lin Mo nodded slightly.

Just as the Master said, Shrek's remote location could be considered an advantage under these circumstances.

And if his guess was correct, Yu Xiaogang would inevitably enter Shrek Academy in the future.

The true Master's teaching ability regarding soul masters was indeed quite excellent; he was worthy of the title.

Furthermore, he wanted to see if he could use Yu Xiaogang's help to explore the method for the second awakening of his Body Spirit, and perhaps even a further third awakening.

Even without using the power of his soul rings, he was confident in crushing other soul masters of the same level based solely on the physical enhancement provided by the Inversion of Three and his Body Spirit.

It was just a pity that he did not possess soul skills like Huo Yuhao or Tang San that could disguise or alter the color and number of his soul rings.

He also did not intend to waste a precious soul ring slot to obtain a skill that seemed somewhat useless and offered no help in combat.

He only had this one Body Spirit; every soul ring absorption had to be handled with the utmost caution!

As for the color of the soul ring, at worst, he would just keep a low profile after obtaining the thousand-year ring and avoid showing it in front of others.

Just when Lin Mo thought Yu Xiaogang's questioning was over and was preparing to return to the dormitory with Tang San, Yu Xiaogang sent Tang San away first, leaving him behind alone.

Tang San did not ask any questions, simply nodding before turning to leave the dormitory.

Only Lin Mo and Yu Xiaogang remained in the room.

"Master, is there something else you need?" Lin Mo asked, puzzled.

He wasn't sure of Yu Xiaogang's intention in keeping him behind.

He had already agreed to Yu Xiaogang's terms of exchange.

Yu Xiaogang would find someone to help him hunt for a thousand-year second soul ring in advance, and he would enter Shrek Academy to become a student there.

"It is nothing."

Yu Xiaogang shook his head slightly. "I asked you to stay because there are actually some questions I would like to ask your thoughts on."

Having said that, Yu Xiaogang hesitated for a moment before looking Lin Mo up and down once more.

After a year of getting along, he had interacted with Lin Mo quite a bit, and he could consider himself to have some understanding of the boy.

This kid was exceptionally sharp.

In terms of martial soul cultivation alone, even Tang San, who had his personal guidance, still paled in comparison to Lin Mo.

That first soul skill, which most people would only use as a defensive shield, had been played to perfection by Lin Mo.

Beyond its basic defensive application, he had even developed the skill to function as a counter-offensive maneuver.

What Yu Xiaogang did not know, however, was that Lin Mo's development of his first soul skill was primarily based on the damage-reflection property he had kept hidden and never revealed to anyone.

Seeing Lin Mo looking at him like that, Yu Xiaogang let out a long sigh before speaking slowly: "You saw it earlier.

Even with the help of a venomous creature like the Datura Snake, my Soul Power Level remains stuck at rank twenty-nine, unable to advance even an inch.

I want to ask, if you were in my position, how would you break through this shackle?"

As he said this, Yu Xiaogang suddenly became nervous.

He wanted to see what this child, whom he considered to have excellent intuition and wisdom, thought about his situation.

If it were him facing these circumstances, how would he resolve it?

Lin Mo, this youth with such immense talent for cultivation, might be able to provide him with some unique insight.

Something to help him break through his current predicament.

Hearing this, Lin Mo was silent for a moment before looking up at Yu Xiaogang with a serious expression: "Master, I feel like you might be overthinking things again."

"Your Luo Sanpao martial soul is truly unique. Although it suffered a malignant mutation that resulted in an extremely low Innate Soul Power of only 0.5, it also transformed Luo Sanpao into the only external beast martial soul on the entire Douluo Continent."

Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, a bitter smile could not help but appear on Yu Xiaogang's face.

What did it matter if it was the only one?

It was still trash.

Or to put it more bluntly, it was the only piece of trash on the continent, a disgrace the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had never known before.

The son of a dignified sect master, whose martial soul had mutated into something as pig-like as Luo Sanpao.

If that wasn't a disgrace, what was?
