Noding Academy.

Looking at the four large characters on the towering archway nearby.

Lin Mo and Old Jerry knew they had come to the right place.

But when they reached the academy gates.

The sound of an argument gradually reached their ears.

"Blue Silver Grass with innate full Soul Power? That's hilarious! A trash Martial Soul can have innate full Soul Power? Hahaha!!"

At the entrance, a young gatekeeper held a certificate in his hand and roared with laughter.

His face was filled with disdain and mockery for the old man and boy before him.

"Huh? Isn't that Old Jack? He brought that child with innate full Soul Power and a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul?"

Old Jerry was a little surprised to see his old rival nearby.

Lin Mo, beside him, did not look particularly surprised.

He simply hadn't expected to stumble upon this scene by such a coincidence.

Yu Xiaogang should show up next, right?

While he was thinking, Old Jerry had already pulled him over.

"Wait! Are you here to enroll too?"

The two figures who suddenly appeared immediately caught the gatekeeper's attention.

Old Jack, who had been about to lose his temper, instantly fell silent.

Tang San, beside him, also frowned slightly.

"That's right, young man. Here's our certificate."

Old Jerry smiled as he took out the enrollment certificate and handed it over.

Clothes made the man, just as a saddle made the horse. Wearing new clothes had even given him the confidence to stand straighter!

"Huh? Another work-study student? Another one with innate full Soul Power? And a high-grade Martial Soul? Heh, do you really take me for a fool? How could a genius like that possibly..."

Looking at the certificate in his hand, the gatekeeper sneered and raised his hands to tear it apart.

But before he could finish speaking, the phantom of an enormous serpent appeared before him.

"Hissss~!!"

A savage, deadly aura surged straight to the crown of his head!!

The previously arrogant gatekeeper instantly turned pale, his legs trembling.

After all, he was just an ordinary person. When had he ever seen anything like this?

"This... this is innate full Soul Power?!"

Just as he was about to wet himself, a hoarse voice rang out.

A middle-aged man in a black academic robe hurried over from a distance. He had a short black crew cut, a face covered in stubble, and an utterly slovenly appearance.

Lin Mo recognized him at a glance as that bullshit Grandmaster, Yu Xiaogang!!

After seeing the man in person, he genuinely wondered whether Bibi Dong had been blind in her youth.

This guy had neither looks nor strength. What charm could he possibly have?

Instinctively, he activated the innate Soul Skill of his Eye of Myriad Phenomena.

He wanted to see just what was so exceptional about the man.

[Target: Yu Xiaogang] [Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul: Obtain the complete set of Martial Soul Theory compiled by the "Grandmaster"!] [Storage Soul Tool: Obtain a belt with twenty-four cubic meters of storage space!] [A Trace of Golden Sacred Dragon Bloodline: Obtain a trace of the Golden Sacred Dragon bloodline within Luo Sanpao!]

Discovering that Yu Xiaogang had quite a few good things on him, Lin Mo's eyes lit up.

Without the slightest hesitation, he chose the second and third options.

In an instant, two cards appeared before his eyes.

Of course, only Lin Mo could see them. Nobody else could see them at all.

After all, the cards were manifestations of his spiritual power.

Before he had time to use them, Yu Xiaogang walked over.

"You have innate full Soul Power? Would you like to become my disciple? I guarantee I'll train you into the strongest Titled Douluo on the continent!!"

Sensing the boy's Soul Power, he spoke with shining eyes and heavy breaths, his face and neck flushed red.

He looked just like a miser who had spotted gold.

Hearing this, Lin Mo instantly understood why Bibi Dong had fallen for him.

She had most likely been taken in by his pie-in-the-sky promises and bullshit boasting!!

He had opened by promising to make Lin Mo the strongest Titled Douluo on the continent.

Someone a little dimmer might actually have believed him.

Was this the legendary Talk-no-Jutsu Douluo?

"No thanks. Your own strength doesn't seem all that impressive, does it?"

Without a moment's hesitation, Lin Mo refused outright.

He even took the opportunity to mock him.

A useless level-twenty-nine man who had broken through the age of fifty.

And he wanted to come ruin Lin Mo too?

Old Jerry, beside him, was a little surprised.

He had thought his boy would agree!

After all, the man looked quite impressive.

But since Little Mo didn't want to take him as a teacher, he wouldn't interfere too much.

Old Jack and Tang San also watched silently from the side.

"I... my strength indeed isn't particularly great, but my theoretical knowledge is absolutely unrivaled across the continent!!"

Having his strength questioned to his face by a child, Yu Xiaogang flushed scarlet as he argued back.

He looked so mortified that he might as well have had his underwear stripped off in public.

"Oh? Theoretical knowledge? Then tell me, how should I develop my Blazing Sun Serpent Martial Soul?"

Seeing him flounder, Lin Mo asked with secret delight.

In truth, he already had some plans for his Martial Soul.

Right now, he simply looked down on this swindling Grandmaster before him.

"A serpent Martial Soul should naturally develop toward the control system!!"

"Absorb Soul Rings from plants with resilient properties!"

"Then, combined with a serpent's natural venom, you can achieve both offense and control!!"

Bringing up the theories he was proudest of, Yu Xiaogang spoke in an endless torrent.

He made it all sound remarkably convincing.

But in reality, he had merely copied some of Dugu Bo's methods and added a little of his own experience.

He completely dazzled the inexperienced Old Jack and Tang San.

Lin Mo, however, almost failed to restrain himself from spitting a glob of phlegm right into his face.

He wanted me to use a fire- and pure-yang-attribute power attack system Martial Soul with maxed-out offensive power for control?

Mother's Entanglement again?

Wasn't that insane?

Play to my weaknesses and avoid my strengths?

Besides, his Blazing Sun Serpent had no poison attribute whatsoever!!

It was completely unsuited to Dugu Bo's approach of controlling the battlefield with poison and steadily weakening his opponents.

"Stop, stop, stop! What you're saying makes so much sense, so I've decided to take the power attack route after all."

Lin Mo interrupted him directly and declared his decision with absolute certainty.

After all, the strongest aspect of his Blazing Sun Serpent was its fire attribute.

And it was pure yang fire at that!!

Naturally, he had to push that advantage to its utmost!

With an immortal herb added to the mix, reaching the level of a top-tier Martial Soul like Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor would be nothing.

Even surpassing him was not impossible!!

"What?! You want to take the power attack route? Are you planning to absorb poison-attribute Soul Rings? Have you gone mad? If you add a poisonous Soul Ring to your Martial Soul, the first person poisoned will be you!!"

Upon learning Lin Hao's intentions, Yu Xiaogang immediately bristled and shouted.

After all, in his view, if a serpent Martial Soul wanted to take the power attack route.

Its only option was to absorb poison-attribute Soul Rings.

But that was no different from suicide!!

Questioning him was bad enough, yet the boy even thought so little of his theories!

This child simply didn't know how high the heavens were or how deep the earth ran. He was courting death!!

"Heh, that's none of your concern. We follow different paths, so there's no point in working together!"

After turning and taking out the Soul Coins on him to hand to Old Jerry.

Lin Mo turned away and walked straight into Noding Academy without looking back.

"You're simply squandering your innate full Soul Power!!"

Watching Lin Mo's departing figure, Yu Xiaogang continued roaring.

He looked as distraught as if someone had stolen several million Gold Soul Coins from him.

"Um... Lord Soul Master, our Tang San also has innate full Soul Power. Would you..."

At that moment, Old Jack spoke cautiously from the side.

At the same time, he handed over the certificate from Spirit Hall.

Hearing that there was another child with innate full Soul Power, Yu Xiaogang's anger instantly vanished.

He quickly took the certificate and inspected it.

"Innate full Soul Power! A trash Martial Soul, Blue Silver Grass?!!"

An even more excited gleam appeared in his eyes.

But he soon suppressed it.

His earlier failure had dealt a heavy blow to his confidence.

So he decided to play it safe for now.

There was plenty of time ahead. He would slowly win over the child before him with his knowledge.

"Don't worry, sir. Leave this child to me."

Yu Xiaogang put on a kindly smile again and spoke gently.

Old Jack nodded in satisfaction, feeling that he had found Little San a good teacher!!
