On the way back to the Dugu Manor from the Great Soul Arena, Dugu Yan reached out and took Lin Mo's arm, turning her head to look at Lin Mo with curious eyes.
" A-Mo."
She began, "Actually, there's a question I've always wanted to ask you—"
Lin Mo didn't stop walking. "What's the problem?"
Dugu Yan pursed her lips. "You seem to be paying special attention to Huo Wu from the Blazing Fire Academy."
"I noticed it when the Four Elements Academy came to our Heaven Dou Royal Academy for exchange and study last time."
It was even more obvious today; the way she looked at you, she was practically glued to you.
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo did not deny it and nodded.
"Yes," he readily admitted, "I do pay some attention to Huo Wu."
Dugu Yan blinked, her grip on his arm tightening slightly. "Why? Because she's pretty?"
Lin Mo shook his head. "It's not because of those things. I'm paying attention to her because of her Martial Soul."
" Martial Soul?"
Dugu Yan was taken aback, clearly not expecting this answer.
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling narrowed her eyes slightly, as if recalling something. "If I remember correctly, Huo Wu's martial Martial Soul should be Fire Shadow."
Lin Mo nodded. "Yes, Fire Shadow. A fiery shadow created from her own body."
Dugu Yan continued, "So, if that's the case, wouldn't Huo Wu's Fire Shadow Martial Soul be classified in the same category as your Second Martial Soul Martial Soul?"
After saying that, she herself was taken aback for a moment.
Lin Mo nodded. "Possibly."
He said, "Her Martial Soul is indeed somewhat special. In terms of its form, although the Fire Shadow Martial Soul is composed of flames, its core is her own shadow."
In a sense, her shadow could also be considered part of her body.
"This does indeed have similarities to my Second Martial Soul."
"My Second Martial Soul is a part of my body, and her Fire Shadow Martial Soul is also an existence derived from herself."
However, her Martial Soul has the added attribute of fire, making its manifestation more outward.
"That's precisely why I paid more attention to her."
At this point, Lin Mo fell into a brief moment of contemplation, his thoughts drifting further afield.
In a sense, Huo Wu's Martial Soul can indeed be classified as Body Martial Soul, and it is an extremely special type among them.
However, this also reminded him of another person.
A Soul Master whose situation is even more unique than Huo Wu's.
Ghost Douluo, Gui Mei.
Gui Mei died once in his childhood, but by some coincidence, his soul re-entered his body, thus awakening his Martial Soul.
And its unique Martial Soul, the Ghost!
If the Martial Soul of a regular Soul Master is a part of their own body, then the Gui Mei is an exception among exceptions.
His Martial Soul is actually his soul, or rather, his spirit.
This is considered the most unique among all the Body Martial Soul bodies.
If the opportunity arises in the future, I might try to make contact with Gui Mei.
Anyway, because he had taken the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan a fairly good impression of him.
The relationship between Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo is well known throughout the Soul Master World.
The feasibility of contacting Ghost Douluo through Chrysanthemum Douluo is quite high.
But that's all for the future.
His Body Martial Soul is currently hidden, and his Soul Ring have not yet been attached.
He can wait until he's ready to reveal his Body Martial Soul before going after the Gui Mei.
Lin Mo's thoughts were interrupted by Dugu Yan's voice.
"I see." Dugu Yan nodded, her expression relaxing considerably. "I thought you had taken a liking to someone."
Her tone carried a hint of teasing.
Lin Mo smiled but didn't respond to that question.
Just as Lin Mo and his two companions returned to the Dugu Manor, the atmosphere at the Shrek Academy was somber.
In the eleventh round of the preliminary rounds, Shrek Academy suffered a crushing defeat against the Blazing Fire Academy.
The blow from this defeat was far greater than imagined.
Especially considering they used their two trump cards— the Eight Spider Lances External Soul Bone ) and the Hell White Tiger Martial Soul Fusion Skill) —their defeat was so complete that the morale of the Shrek Seven Devils plummeted to rock bottom.
Inside the makeshift medical room, Shao Xin and Feng Zhu are doing their best to treat the injured team members.
Shao Xin is Food System Soul Saint, and his Sugar Bean are effective in restoring Soul Power and healing injuries.
As a healing-type Soul Elder, Jiang Zhu, although not highly cultivated, can still stabilize injuries and accelerate recovery with her Healing Scepter.
Thanks to the efforts of the two, the injuries of Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, and others have stabilized and are at least not expected to worsen.
Because of the most severe injuries, including multiple Burn all over his body, Ma Hongjun's condition has stabilized, but he is still in a coma.
Tang San stood by the window of the room, his back to everyone.
Today's crushing defeat dealt him an even greater blow than when he barely managed to defeat Elephant Armor Academy last time.
At least we won last time.
Today, they lost, and lost completely.
What Tang San found hardest to accept was not the defeat itself, but the reason for it.
Blue Silver Grass.
It's Blue Silver Grass again.
This feeling of powerlessness was even stronger than when Elephant Armor Academy last time.
At least last time when facing the Diamond Mammoth, Blue Silver Grass was able to slow it down to some extent.
However, when facing the Blazing Fire Academy, his Blue Silver Grass was completely ineffective from beginning to end.
After an unknown amount of time, Tang San finally slowly turned around.
He glanced at his teammates recovering in the room, then stepped out of the medical room.
He stopped in front of a door.
This door leads to the room of his teacher, the Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang.
Tang San raised his hand, hovering it in mid-air, and hesitated for a moment.
He had so many questions he wanted to discuss with his teacher.
He hoped to find some answers and solace from Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang hailed as the Horn of Wisdom" in the Golden Iron Triangle.
Finally, Tang San slowly knocked on the door.
Thump, thump, thump.
Yu Xiaogang's voice came from inside the room. "Come in."
Tang San pushed open the door and went in. "Teacher."
Yu Xiaogang nodded and pointed to the chair opposite him, "Sit down."
Tang San did not sit down, but stood still, lowered his head, and fell into a long silence.
Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang did not rush to ask Tang San the reason for his visit, but waited quietly to the side, giving Tang San some time to compose himself.
After an unknown amount of time, Tang San finally raised his head and looked at Yu Xiaogang, but this time his eyes were unusually filled with confusion.
"Teacher, I don't understand."
"Why is my Blue Silver Grass so weak? Why can't it be of any use when facing a slightly stronger opponent?"
