In the world of Soul Master, things are never simply black and white.
Soul Master who can cultivate to the level of Soul King at level 50 or above have more or less taken a few lives on their hands.
This is also why he quickly regained his composure after his initial outburst of anger.
From Lin Mo's previous account, Dugu Bo already knew that Lin Mo had deliberately walked into the trap set by Shi Nian.
Besides eliminating potential threats, he probably also wanted to take this opportunity to test his tolerance for killing.
While this approach is risky, it is not entirely incomprehensible.
This is a hurdle that every Soul Master will have to face sooner or later. It's better to go through it sooner rather than later lose your life because you're too soft-hearted at a crucial moment.
However, that's only because Shi Nian died relatively quickly. If he had fallen into his hands, he would have made Shi Nian experience what it meant to wish he were dead.
After a long silence, Lin Mo slowly spoke, "I don't have any special feelings. If I had to say there is, it's just a bit of disgust."
state."
At this point, Lin Mo suddenly paused, his tone becoming more serious and earnest than ever before.
" Life is precious; everyone's Life is precious."
"Whether it's disregarding one's own Life or the Life of others, in my view, both are acts of desecration of Life."
"I acknowledge the importance of Life, but that doesn't mean I'll show mercy to those who want to take my life."
It also doesn't mean I would sympathize with a scoundrel like Shi Nian who takes pleasure in killing.
"I will make the same choice again if I encounter a similar situation next time."
The courtyard fell silent.
Dugu Bo looked at Lin Mo, "It's good that you think this way."
He reached out and patted Lin Mo's shoulder heavily.
"I was worried about the impact of your first murder, but it seems I was overthinking it."
"Compared to those who, after their first murder, either became trapped in their inner demons or became addicted to the thrill of killing, ultimately falling into the trap of Fallen Soul Master— "
A rare smile of satisfaction appeared on Dugu Bo's face. "You kid, you're so normal that even I'm a little surprised."
It seems that you have never wavered in your cultivation of the original driving force throughout this journey.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingleng also breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Lin Mo was safe and sound and in a calm state of mind, they were finally at ease.
After that, the preliminary rounds of the Soul Master Tournament continued in full swing.
However, a small incident occurred in the middle.
Canghui Academy was disqualified from the competition by the organizing committee for seriously violating the competition rules.
This is the first academy in recent years to leave the Soul Master Tournament stage in this way.
The news came as a surprise to many.
Although Canghui Academy is not a top-tier team, its strength should not be underestimated, and its performance has consistently been in the middle range in previous years.
This sudden disqualification is truly baffling.
Although Dugu Bo did not intend to personally lower himself to target those juniors, it did not mean that he would easily let Canghui Academy off the hook.
There are some things that he only needs to mention briefly, and many people will naturally be willing to do them for him.
Shi Nian, the Canghui Academy, attempted to sabotage Lin Mo, the captain of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team, during the Soul Master Tournament, with malicious intent.
He discovered this and executed him on the spot.
This alone is enough to make Canghui Academy pay the price.
Disqualification is just the beginning.
In the next few years, Canghui Academy's situation within the Heaven Dou Empire will likely not be good.
Two more days have passed in the blink of an eye.
After more than a week of rest, the Shrek Academy students have finally recovered to a fairly good state.
However, shortly after their recovery, they encountered their least favorite opponent in the qualifying stage.
Or rather, he was the opponent Tang San least wanted to face.
Blazing Fire Academy, one of the Five Elements Academy.
The moment the match schedule was announced, Tang San, the team's main control Soul Master, turned pale.
A scene from many years ago involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
At that time, he had just obtained his First Soul Ring and was full of vigor, but he suffered a crushing defeat in a sparring match with Lin Mo's Charmander.
At that time, the Charizard was still called the Charmander, and Lin Mo and it had not even obtained their First Soul Ring yet.
Yet that dragon beast, without any Soul Ring attached, used its own blazing flames to burn his Blue Silver Grass to a crisp and rotten state, making his first defeat a foregone conclusion.
That day, Tang San realized for the first time how fragile and powerless his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was in the face of flames.
Now, facing the Blazing Fire Academy, renowned for its Fire-type, Tang San is once again reminded of the fear of being dominated by flames.
Tang San took a deep breath, Sheer Force suppressing the agitation in his heart.
No, as the main control Soul Master of the Shrek Academy, how can I back down before even starting the battle!
Blue Silver Grass ----
He clenched his fist, his nails digging deep into his palm.
One day, he will let everyone know that Blue Silver Grass is not useless.
But now, he needs to win this game first.
The central main arena of the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.
As the referee's announcement faded, all fourteen members from the Shrek and Blazing Fire Academy teams stepped onto the arena.
As they appeared, the audience erupted in cheers.
Both Shrek and Blazing Fire are undoubtedly strong teams in their eyes.
The clash between strong teams undoubtedly provides them with the most enjoyable viewing experience.
Shrek Academy fielded the same seven members: Tang San, Yu Tianheng, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Ning Rongrong.
The seven members of the Blazing Fire Academy who appeared were Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu, Huo Lie, Huo Yun, Huo Yu, Huo Chui, and Huo Jun.
Among them, Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, a brother and sister, are at the Four-Ring Soul Ancestor level, while the other five are at the Three-Ring Soul Elder.
While Shrek Blazing Fire Academy had one less Soul Ancestor than Shrek Academy, their eyes revealed that they Shrek far more confident in winning the match.
Huo Wu's gaze fell directly on Tang San, a Taunt smile curving her lips.
Tang San remained calm, meeting her gaze without flinching.
After exchanging greetings, both sides retreated to the edge of the arena.
However, as they retreated, Shrek's Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun suddenly felt a chill of inexplicable dread.
The two of them felt as if they were being watched by something dangerous.
A chill ran down my back, and goosebumps rose all over my body.
The two instinctively turned around, only to see Huo Wu's ambiguous smile.
This seems to be... nothing unusual.
But that nagging sense of crisis lingered and wouldn't go away.
VIP area, Heaven Dou Team One rest area.
Lin Mo sat quietly at the front, a playful smile on his face.
