Li Yusong remained brimming with confidence as he looked at the giant dragon before him.
"Tch! It's just a little dragon martial soul! Even it has to bow before my Dragon Pattern Staff!!"
He curled his lip in disdain and roared.
His sixth soul ring lit up instantly, and a powerful aura erupted!
"Sixth Soul Skill-Sweep the Thousand Armies!!"
The Dragon Pattern Staff whirled, becoming a black whirlwind that swept outward!!
Its sheer power snapped the surrounding trees.
It hurtled toward Lin Mo, carrying broken branches and torn leaves!!
"Mo! Watch out! Get out of the way!!"
Xiao Wu shouted anxiously from the side.
The others hurriedly retreated as well, afraid of being swept into it.
"Just what I wanted!! Fifth Soul Skill-Blazing Sun Thousandfold Annihilation!!"
Lin Mo let out a thunderous shout.
Dragon scales, horns, claws, and a tail all emerged!!
The Blazing Sun Giant Dragon merged directly with his body!!
A pair of enormous dragon wings spread out in an instant!!
Countless crimson-gold rays rapidly gathered around the wings!!
BOOM!!!
An earth-shaking blast rang out.
Countless crimson-gold beams erupted from his dragon wings!!
In an instant, the attacks blotted out the sky and blanketed the entire battlefield!!
"Converge!!!"
A furious shout rang out.
The scattered beams instantly converged on a single point!!
The black whirlwind before him!!
BANG!!
Almost in the blink of an eye, the beams tore the whirlwind to shreds!
Then they blasted toward Li Yusong without losing any of their power!!
"Fifth Soul Skill-Physical Body Enhancement!!"
With the attack right before his eyes, he hastily unleashed his enhancement soul skill in desperation.
He swung the Dragon Pattern Staff in a frantic scramble, trying to block the beams.
BOOM!!
Another tremendous blast rang out.
Li Yusong was sent flying dozens of meters backward!
In the end, Flender flew over and caught him.
"Th-this... he finished him in one move?"
"Isn't that way too powerful?"
"Is he even human?"
Oscar and the others were left gaping in shock at the sight.
Two soul skills had failed to block a single move from his opponent.
Which one of them was the Soul Emperor, and which was the Soul King?
"Mo, you're amazing!! Why can your soul skill turn corners?"
Stars sparkled in Xiao Wu's eyes as she ran up to the boy and asked curiously.
Her little hands kept roaming over his muscles all the while.
Her cheeks were flushed red.
"Because my soul skill is rather special. It can attack groups or a single target, and I can freely control its direction and range."
Lin Mo explained with a smile.
If he wanted, he could use it entirely like a homing missile.
It was practically impossible for an enemy to evade it.
Unless they could move almost as fast as light.
"Mmm~ mmm~ mmm~ so hard~ no, I mean, so strong!!"
Xiao Wu stroked the boy's abs, praising him repeatedly.
Judging by her bashful expression, however, she clearly wasn't talking about his soul skill.
"Little girl, getting addicted to touching me?!"
Caught between laughter and tears, Lin Mo gave her bottom a firm pinch as he spoke.
It felt wonderful, supple and springy, and fuller than it had been six months ago.
"Ah! Stop it~! You're so bad!!"
Xiao Wu cried out, her pretty face bright red as she scolded him coyly.
She covered her bottom and didn't dare touch him anymore.
"Lin Mo, you've passed your assessment. Congratulations on becoming a teacher at Shrek Academy."
After settling Li Yusong in, Flender walked over and spoke with a smile.
Defeating a Soul Emperor-level expert in one move was more than enough to qualify him as a teacher.
Besides, having a big monster teach the Little Monsters might produce some unexpected results.
"Thank you, Dean."
Lin Mo smiled faintly and thanked him politely.
Beside him, Xiao Wu looked envious.
After all, teachers didn't have to attend classes!!
A year and a half slipped quietly by.
Lin Mo's soul power grew steadily, reaching level sixty.
During that time, he also honed his combat skills.
Every so often, he would seek out the other teachers for a spar.
Although he possessed tremendous strength, he was sorely lacking in combat experience.
All these years, his approach to combat had been to send bricks flying through sheer brute force.
That was fine as long as he didn't face a formidable opponent, but he would be in trouble the moment he encountered an evenly matched enemy.
Lin Mo understood this well, so he kept working hard to make up for his weakness.
Today, however, he hadn't gone looking for anyone to spar with.
Instead, he spent the entire day eating and drinking with Xiao Wu in Suotuo City.
"Mmm~ this is delicious too!!"
Inside an upscale restaurant, the girl was eating to her heart's content.
Her cheeks bulged like a little squirrel's.
"You really can eat. Careful, or you'll turn into a little fat rabbit."
Sitting across from her, Lin Mo shook his head helplessly and teased her with a smile.
Between all their stops, they had already eaten their way through Suotuo City.
Although they only tried a little of each dish, the sheer variety added up.
"Hmph~ I'm not fat! Besides, you said I could eat whatever I wanted today. No going back on your word!!"
Xiao Wu pouted and protested.
She even pulled the carrots on the table closer to herself.
The way she guarded her food left him unsure whether to laugh or cry.
"I won't, I won't. You can eat anything you want today."
Lin Mo nodded, with no intention of taking back his promise.
The boy's generosity was so unusual that the girl felt a little thrown off.
"That's more like it~ but... why are you suddenly being so nice to me today?"
Xiao Wu asked curiously as she munched on a carrot.
Normally, he was awfully stingy whenever she asked to borrow money.
"Aren't I usually nice to you? It's your birthday today. Eat all you like."
Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Lin Mo raised an eyebrow and smiled.
Her birthday was actually the day Xiao Wu had taken human form.
Every year, the two of them celebrated this day together.
"Oh, right! I'd have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it!!"
Realization dawned on Xiao Wu as she spoke.
Now that she knew the reason, the girl looked at the boy with sparkling eyes.
"Mo~ Xiao Wu wants to stay at the most luxurious hotel in Suotuo City tonight!!"
The girl turned and came over to Lin Mo, hugging his arm as she wheedled.
She was the very picture of a little schemer playing sweet and innocent!!
"All right~ all right~ I'll indulge you this once. You can pay me back with massages afterward."
Lin Mo pinched her pert bottom and spoke helplessly.
"Yay~ Mo, you're the best!!"
Overjoyed, Xiao Wu threw her arms around the boy and planted a kiss on him.
They enjoyed their food while flirting and teasing each other.
Before they knew it, evening had fallen.
After arriving at the Swan Hotel, they booked its most expensive suite outright.
Click~
The door opened, revealing the luxurious decor.
Everything exuded the scent of money.
"Wow~! It's so beautiful! What a huge bed! The bathroom is so spacious!!"
Xiao Wu's eyes shone as she looked around, exclaiming again and again.
She had never seen such a luxurious room!!
"Oh, right. Here's your present."
After entering the room, Lin Mo tossed her a box.
He did it so casually that it seemed like nothing more than an ordinary item.
