Flender examined the soul beast feeding not far away, his face full of regret.

"Lin Mo, that gorilla over there is one of the types of soul beasts you mentioned earlier: a Great Strength Gorilla."

Flender lowered his voice and said, "It's a pity. If this soul beast were available to other soul masters, it would be absolutely perfect for a second soul ring."

"After observing it just now, I can confirm its cultivation should be between six hundred and eight hundred years."

If this soul beast had a thousand years of cultivation, he would have fulfilled his agreement with Lin Mo, and he could have taken Lin Mo back immediately after killing it.

Lin Mo laughed. "It's not just that the cultivation is a bit low; the bloodline quality is also too weak."

"In terms of quality alone, the bloodline grade of this Great Strength Gorilla isn't even as good as the Vajra Ape I encountered in the Soul Hunting Forest for my first soul ring."

Hearing this, Flender couldn't help but tease, "You and Tang San are certainly lucky."

"To be able to encounter top-tier soul beasts like the Vajra Ape and the Azure Vine in the Soul Hunting Forest near Notting City."

"Who knows?" Lin Mo shook his head with a smile. "Maybe Tang San and I just have good luck."

"Then you'd better pray that good luck still favors you this time, kid." Flender raised his hand and patted Lin Mo on the shoulder.

Then, he raised his other hand and pointed toward the Great Strength Gorilla in the distance.

"Alright, kid, go over there and have a fight with that gorilla. Let me see what your actual combat level is."

Flender's tone suddenly became serious.

He had never truly seen Lin Mo in action.

As the dean of Shrek Academy, he felt it was necessary to personally verify the true combat level of this student.

"But this is the Star Dou Great Forest."

Lin Mo feigned surprise and pointed at himself. "What if I attract other soul beasts?"

"I didn't tell you to kill it."

Flender said with a smile, "As long as you don't cause bloodshed, generally no soul beast will notice the commotion here. Besides, I've already scouted the surroundings."

"There are no ten-thousand-year soul beasts in this area, not even high-level thousand-year soul beasts."

"Alright, alright." Lin Mo nodded.

He had only been putting on an act; since Flender had said as much, he might as well take this opportunity to stretch his limbs.

With a flick of his mind, the Inversion of Three talent was activated once again. The skin and flesh across his body instantly underwent Qi-flesh Transformation, entering the state of inversion.

His black hair turned white.

Inversion of Three, First Layer: Qi-flesh Transformation, Dragon-Tiger Power imbued.

Lin Mo took a step and walked toward the Great Strength Gorilla.

His movements were not fast; one could even call them leisurely. The fallen leaves beneath his feet made a faint rustling sound, which seemed exceptionally clear in this quiet forest clearing.

The Great Strength Gorilla, which had been happily enjoying its lunch, was stunned to see this human soul master arrive so suddenly.

The instinct of a soul beast made it alert in an instant.

The Great Strength Gorilla moved quickly, tossing the beast meat in its hand aside.

It let out a roar, pushed off the ground hard with its thick hind legs, and leaped in front of Lin Mo.

It had already swung its right arm while in mid-air, raising its fist to smash at Lin Mo's face.

The Great Strength Gorilla was known for its strength; a punch thrown at full force by one with nearly eight hundred years of cultivation was enough to make even some thousand-year soul beasts avoid its edge.

Bang!

Before the fist could land in front of Lin Mo, it was caught and steadily blocked by his jade-white palm.

The moment fist met palm, a dull thud echoed out.

The Great Strength Gorilla's pupils contracted sharply.

The opponent's palm, which looked slender, didn't budge an inch, while its own fist was left tingling and numb.

Before the Great Strength Gorilla could react, Lin Mo flipped his wrist and, with a casual exertion of force, gripped two of its thick fingers.

Roar—!

As Lin Mo applied a little pressure, the Great Strength Gorilla let out an extremely miserable roar.

The intense pain caused the Great Strength Gorilla's entire body to tremble, its feet kicking wildly against the ground.

It tried frantically to pull its fingers from Lin Mo's grip, its face becoming twisted and hideous from the sheer effort.

When it finally managed to pull its fingers free with great difficulty, it discovered that the joints were completely deformed, bent at an unnatural angle.

Lin Mo had broken them directly.

A flash of disbelief crossed the Great Strength Gorilla's eyes, followed immediately by being completely swallowed by surging rage.

Anger overcame the pain.

It let out a deafening roar.

It began to sprint, its entire body crashing toward Lin Mo like a small mountain.

Its fists swung alternately, raining down upon Lin Mo's head like a violent storm.

This was the Great Strength Gorilla's signature attack style.

Lin Mo remained as calm and composed as ever, raising his hands to block, tap, and shove.

Without any flashy techniques, he used only the most basic blocks and deflections to easily parry every punch thrown in the Great Strength Gorilla's fury.

The scene looked incredibly bizarre.

On one side was a beast as thunderous and violent as a storm; on the other, a youth whose every movement exuded effortless ease.

The contrast between the two was far too stark.

From the moment Lin Mo entered the arena, this battle was destined to be a one-sided crushing.

When the Great Strength Gorilla threw another punch, Lin Mo caught its fist directly.

This time, Lin Mo did not give it another chance to break free.

His five fingers tightened abruptly, his pale, luminous palm locking onto its fist like an iron vice.

Crack!

A crisp, clear sound of bone fracturing rang out, and the Great Strength Gorilla let out a shrill, miserable roar.

Its entire right arm went limp in an instant.

Bang!

Moments later, Lin Mo raised his leg and delivered a whip kick that slammed heavily into the Great Strength Gorilla's chest.

An unstoppable force surged from its chest throughout its entire body, sending the massive ape flying backward.

Collapsing to the ground and struggling to stand, the Great Strength Gorilla's ferocity had completely faded, leaving it unable to muster even a shred of fighting spirit.

All that remained in its eyes was unprecedented fear and cowardice.

In the span of just a few breaths, the Great Strength Gorilla, which had always prided itself on its strength, had been one-sidedly pummeled by Lin Mo without any ability to retaliate.

The Great Strength Gorilla lay on the ground, trembling as it watched Lin Mo walk toward it.

It instinctively curled its body into a ball, letting out weak whimpers with eyes full of supplication.

To its surprise, however, Lin Mo suddenly stopped walking while still a short distance away.

Lin Mo glanced down at the shivering Great Strength Gorilla from his superior position: "Get lost!"

Although the Great Strength Gorilla could not understand human language, it guessed that the human before it did not intend to take its life.

It froze for a moment, but once it realized what had happened, its eyes filled with the wild joy of a survivor.

As if granted a pardon, it clutched its dislocated, fractured arm and scrambled away at full speed.

Lin Mo withdrew his gaze and turned to walk in the direction of Flender.

"Dean, are you satisfied with my performance?"

Flender had long since been frozen in place.
