Sensing the Soul Power fluctuations emanating from Lin Mo, Dugu Bo and Ye Linyuan immediately smiled.
Dugu Bo patted Lin Mo's shoulder forcefully and laughed, "Level 48! Good lad, your cultivation speed is so fast, it's impossible to even be envious!"
Ye Linyuan stroked his beard, his eyes full of satisfaction. "Not bad. Although he hasn't reached the bottleneck of level 50 yet, at this rate, becoming Soul King at the age of twelve is definitely a certainty."
"Old Poison, wouldn't you say we've witnessed history firsthand?"
"Of course!" Dugu Bo raised his chin slightly.
Ye Linyuan was in high spirits and waved his hand, "Let's go! We must celebrate today! My treat, at the best restaurant in Heaven Dou City!"
He immediately called over Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and the group left the Ye Family Medical Hall, heading straight for the most bustling " Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion " in the center of Heaven Dou City.
Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, top-floor private room.
The table was laden with all sorts of delicacies, their aroma filling the air.
Everyone sat around the table, the atmosphere lively.
After several rounds of drinks and dishes, the conversation naturally returned to Lin Mo's cultivation level.
When Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan confirmed with their elders that Lin Mo's Soul Power had reached level forty-eight, their reactions differed.
Ye Lingling paused slightly in her chopsticks, her purple eyes looking at Lin Mo with obvious resentment.
She gave a soft hum and muttered under her breath, "I finally caught up a little—and now I'm left so far behind again."
She had previously improved her Soul Power rapidly with the help of the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, and at one point even saw herself overtaking Lin Mo. However, she hadn't expected that after only a short period of stable cultivation, Lin Mo would overtake her again.
I couldn't help feeling a little down.
You have to understand, when Lin Mo first came to the Ye Family Medical Hall, his cultivation level was far inferior to hers. How did he manage to be surpassed again?
Dugu Yan, however, took it all in stride. She placed a piece of food on Lin Mo's plate and said nonchalantly, " Lengleng, try to think more positively."
I'm used to it. Lin Mo is someone you can't judge by normal standards.
She recalled the first time she met Lin Mo at the academy. Although Lin Mo's Soul Power Level was lower than hers at the time, his actual combat strength was already above hers.
Now, just over two years later, the gap in their cultivation levels has widened, which she finds quite normal.
Seeing the harmonious relationship among the three younger generations, especially the natural closeness between her granddaughter and Lin Mo, she was delighted.
Dugu Bo and Ye Linyuan exchanged a glance and then burst into laughter.
They were quite pleased with the scene before them.
After spending so much time together, they had long realized that Lin Mo was a top-notch talent and temperament, and his relationship with their two families was extremely close. In their eyes, he was the perfect candidate for their grandson-in-law.
As for how the younger generation's relationships will ultimately develop, the elders don't intend to interfere too much; they'll just let things take their natural course.
As the banquet drew to a close, Lin Mo put down his teacup and looked at Dugu Bo, saying, "Senior, I plan to return to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for a period of seclusion, just as before."
The Blazing Hot Yang Spring within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and Charmeleon, allowing it to cultivate with twice Charmeleon results with half the effort.
Moreover, the Heaven and Earth Origin Power gathered in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is far more concentrated than that in the outside world. Even if there is no cultivation environment specifically suited to Lin Mo's blood and qi attributes, the speed at which he cultivates his Soul Power there will exceed that of the conventional Mimicry Cultivation Environment provided by the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Dugu Bo was already used to this, and nodded. "Alright, you can handle it yourself. Just let me know if you need anything or encounter any problems."
At this moment, Dugu Yan seemed to remember something, put down her chopsticks, and looked at Lin Mo with a hint of helplessness in her voice. " Lin Mo, if you still don't plan to return to the academy this time, the teaching plan that Teacher Qin just made for us will probably have to be shelved again."
"Huh? What's going on?" Lin Mo asked, looking at her curiously.
Dugu Yan shrugged and explained, " Teacher Qin is currently leading a group of eight of us."
It's one thing that you're rarely at the academy, but the real problem is that Yu Tianheng, after obtaining the Silver Soul Badge a while ago, also asked Teacher Qin for a long leave and went back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to cultivate in seclusion."
She paused, a hint of amusement on her face. "I think he's clearly been spurred on by how quickly Lengleng and I broke through to the Soul Ancestor, and he's eager to return to his family to leverage their resources and try to reach level 40."
Ye Lingling added softly from the side, "So now, the only people still attending classes normally under Teacher Qin's supervision are me, Yanyan, the Shi Brothers, Yu Feng, and Osler."
They can't even gather enough people to form a complete seven-person team for practice and team cohesion.
After hearing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but smile helplessly.
For him right now, improving his own skills is clearly more important than the teamwork exercises he needs to do.
He said, "There's no rush to get the team in sync. Anyway, there's still quite a while before the start of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament."
"Once I finish this seclusion and make a breakthrough in my cultivation, there will be enough time to focus on team training."
Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan exchanged a glance, both with expressions of "I knew it."
Dugu Yan waved her hand, "Okay, I know. Lengleng and I will explain to Teacher Qin."
Anyway, you're away from the academy every other day, so Teacher Qin is pretty much used to it.
Her tone was somewhat teasing, clearly indicating that she was already quite adept at handling Professor Qin Ming's questions.
After the banquet ended, Lin Mo did not linger. He bid farewell to everyone and once again entered the depths of Sunset Forest alone, arriving at the valley protected by the poison array.
The familiar Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well once again came into view, the red and white spring waters still clearly distinct, steaming with the aura of extreme cold and extreme heat.
As soon as they stepped into the valley, the Charmeleon that Lin Mo had already summoned let out an excited low roar.
He turned his head familiarly to Lin Mo, as if to say hello, and then leaped into the Blazing Hot Yang Spring with a "plop".
As its cultivation level improved, it was now able to dive deeper into Yang Spring and Absorb even purer and more abundant Fire-type Heaven and Earth Origin Power.
Lin Mo stood at the edge of the spring, feeling the intense heat and rich Heaven and Earth Origin Power emanating from it, and took a deep breath.
He glanced at the Charmeleon swimming leisurely in the spring, then felt the Immortal Herb dormant deep within his body, and his eyes hardened.
"This time, I won't leave until I reach level 50!"
