Led by Zhao Wuji, the Shrek Academy group quickly returned to their previous lodging room in the inn.
As soon as Zhao Wuji entered the room, he closed the door behind him.
He pulled up a chair and sat down, his gaze sweeping over the seven students present, finally settling on Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong.
"Tell me," Zhao Wuji said, his voice tinged with obvious irritation. "How much do you know about those three people?"
The atmosphere in the room was somewhat oppressive.
Oscar had helped Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun to sit on the bed against the wall. The two were wrapped in gauze, with only their eyes and mouths showing, looking like two mummies.
Ning Rongrong pursed her lips and spoke first.
"I only judged their origins from their Martial Soul. Whether it was the Jade Phosphorous Serpent or the Nine Heart Begonia, they were well-known in Heaven Dou City."
What's even more coincidental is that both of these Martial Soul can be said to be passed down through a single lineage, with the current owners being Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling respectively.
Behind Dugu Yan is her grandfather, the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, while Ye Lingling is the beloved daughter of the veteran Nine Heart Begonia Soul Douluo, Ye Linyuan.
What no one noticed was that when Ning Rongrong mentioned Poison Douluo, Xiao Wu's face instantly turned deathly pale.
However, her complexion quickly returned to normal under her control.
At this point, Ning Rongrong turned to look at Tang San and Xiao Wu, a hint of helplessness on her face.
"As for the person who hit Fatty and Dai Mubai— " she shrugged, "I don't know."
Zhao Wuji nodded, then turned his gaze to Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Tang San sat down beside Xiao Wu, feeling Zhao Wuji's gaze, and slowly raised his head. " Lin Mo was our classmate at the Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy, but his situation is a bit special."
"Special?" Zhao Wuji raised an eyebrow.
"Hmm." Tang San nodded. "Unlike Xiao Wu and me, Lin Mo only stayed at the Nuoding Academy for a year. After breaking through to level ten in Soul Power and obtaining his First Soul Ring, he chose to graduate and leave Nuoding Academy."
"As for where he went afterward—" Tang San shook his head, "I don't know either."
Ning Rongrong, who was standing to the side, lit up slightly when she heard this.
As if remembering something, she interjected softly, "If I'm not mistaken, Lin Mo should be a student at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy now."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at her.
Ning Rongrong pondered for a moment, then organized her thoughts. " Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling are both students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, so Lin Mo, who is very close to them, is very likely also a student of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
She remembered something else: Ning Fengzhi had mentioned to her that he had once accompanied the Crown Prince to meet a student from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Students who can be personally recruited by His Highness the Crown Prince must have extraordinary talent.
Now it seems that this person is very likely Lin Mo. With the strength and talent he has shown, he certainly has the qualifications.
Zhao Wuji stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.
He quickly asked the question that concerned him most, "What exactly is Lin Mo's Martial Soul? I didn't see him release Soul Ring when he made his move just now."
This means that Lin Mo did not use his Martial Soul at all when dealing with Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.
This was something that Zhao Wuji cared about very much.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu raised her hand.
"I know that!" Xiao Wu's voice was clear and crisp. " Lin Mo's Martial Soul is the Charmander, a very powerful Fire-type External Beast Martial Soul."
" External Beast Martial Soul?" Zhao Wuji was taken aback, then seemed to remember something and turned to look at Tang San.
If he remembered correctly, Tang San's teacher, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, also possessed the Luo Sanpao External Beast Martial Soul.
Sensing Zhao Wuji's gaze, Tang San nodded.
A moment of silence fell over the room.
Oscar crouched down beside Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, carefully examining their injuries.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Three soft "thumps, thumps, thumps."
Zhao Wuji raised his head and glanced towards the doorway.
"Come in."
The door was pushed open, and a figure walked in.
The person who arrived was Qin Ming.
As soon as he entered the room, his gaze fell on everyone present. When he saw the two "mummies" wrapped in bandages, Qin Ming's expression visibly stiffened.
His lips twitched, as if he wanted to laugh but Sheer Force holding it back.
Zhao Wuji stood up and nodded to Qin Ming.
" Xiao Ming, you're here." Zhao Wuji's voice softened somewhat.
He turned to the seven students from the Shrek Academy, clapped his hands, and drew everyone's attention.
"Come, let me introduce you." Zhao Wuji pointed to Qin Ming, a hint of pride on his face. "This is Qin Ming, a graduate of our Shrek Academy, so he's your senior."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Qin Ming, their faces showing obvious surprise.
Zhao Wuji was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. He continued, " Xiao Ming is the pride of Shrek. At just over thirty years old, he's already Six-Ring Soul Emperor."
He paused, his tone even more smug. "Moreover, he is the second youngest Soul Emperor in the history of the Spirit Hall!"
"The second youngest?" Ma Hongjun's voice came through the gauze.
Zhao Wuji nodded. "Yes, the second youngest. As for the first—" He glanced at Tang San and didn't continue.
Qin Ming smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
He bowed slightly to the crowd and said sincerely, "On behalf of Lin Mo, I apologize to the two junior students for what happened this time. He was too rough and caused them to suffer."
After speaking, Qin Ming took out two jade bottles from his pocket and placed them on the table.
"These are some Potion I carry with me. They're quite effective, and I hope they can help my two junior classmates."
Oscar then stood up and walked to Qin Ming's side.
He glanced at Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, his expression turning somewhat grim.
"Senior Qin, we appreciate your kindness." Oscar's voice was deep. "The injuries on Boss and Fatty look terrible, but they don't actually break many bones."
Thanks to the effects of my Recovery Big Sausage, it has recovered quite a bit.
He paused, his tone becoming more serious. "The real problem is their Burn."
" Burn?" Qin Ming was taken aback.
"Yes." Oscar nodded. "Both the boss and the fat guy have extensive Burn. My Recovery Big Sausage and Little Sausage aren't very effective at treating these kinds of injuries."
He glanced at Ma Hongjun, his eyes filled with confusion. "What I can't understand is that Fatty clearly possesses Fire-type Phoenix Martial Soul, so he should have some resistance to flames."
But this time, his Burn were even more severe than Boss Dai's.
Upon hearing this, Tang San, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.
"There's nothing hard to understand about that." Tang San's voice was flat, revealing no emotion.
All eyes were on him.
"The quality of the flames wielded by Lin Mo's Charmander Martial Soul far surpasses that of Fatty's phoenix," he said slowly. "Furthermore, he primarily targeted Fatty, which is why Fatty suffered such a miserable fate—"
At this point, Tang San's eyes flickered slightly.
He had a deep understanding of this, after all, his sparring match with Lin Mo using Blue Silver Grass at the Nuoding Academy almost left him with psychological trauma.
If it weren't for his teacher's guidance, he would have almost switched to repairing his own hammers.
