Although Lin Mo was still somewhat puzzled as to why Ye Linyuan had suddenly asked this question, he still instructed the Charmeleon beside him, "Use Dragon Pulse on that open space over there."
In response, the Charmeleon let out a low growl, took a deep breath, and its chest slightly bulged.
The next moment, a light purple beam of energy, shaped like a dragon, suddenly shot out from its mouth and struck the open ground in the corner of the courtyard wall.
"Boom!"
With a muffled thud, the ground trembled slightly, and the area struck by the Dragon Pulse surged, leaving a shallow crater.
Ye Linyuan, standing to the side, nodded slightly, a look of extreme satisfaction on his face.
He stroked his beard, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, his voice steady, "From this day forward, Lin Mo's Third Soul Skill, the Dragon Pulse, will be his External Martial Soul."
As for the Third Soul Ring he acquired, it did not come from that Scarlet Yang Marigold either.
He paused, then deliberately emphasized his voice, "His Third Soul Ring was obtained by hunting down a top-tier sub -Subdragon Soul Beast with a diluted True Dragon bloodline."
It was precisely because he successfully absorbed this precious Third Soul Ring that his Martial Soul was able to evolve, transforming from Charmander into the Charmeleon he is today.
Upon hearing this, the people present were initially taken aback, but then they all suddenly understood what Ye Linyuan was up to.
He intends to reverse the causal sequence of Lin Mo's Martial Soul Evolution.
The outside world believed that Lin Mo was lucky and that he absorbed a suitable Soul Ring, which promoted the evolution of his Martial Soul.
This provides a plausible explanation for the Charmander's sudden transformation into Charmeleon.
After all, Lin Mo's Charmeleon Martial Soul couldn't be kept hidden forever; it would have to be revealed to the world sooner or later.
Lin Mo looked at Ye Linyuan, a warm feeling welling up in his heart, and nodded emphatically in Ye Linyuan's direction.
Immediately, Ye Linyuan shone his light on Lin Mo and the other two, and said, "Now that things are settled here, the three of you should return to the academy."
"You've been out for so long, you should go back and let the three education commissioners know you're safe, so they won't worry about you."
Lin Mo had the same idea, and he continued, "Yes, I also happen to have some things I need to discuss with the three education committee members."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling, standing beside him, looked at Lin Mo with a hint of curiosity in her beautiful purple eyes, "Looking for the Education Commission to discuss something? Have you encountered some problems with your cultivation?"
Lin Mo shook his head. "It's not a matter of cultivation. I want to apply to the three education committee members for permission to go out. I won't be spending all my time at the academy anymore."
He paused, then continued to explain, "I will dedicate some of my time to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Oh, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is the herb garden of Senior Poison Douluo."
I need to use the power of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to refine the remaining medicinal power in my body, the two Ice and Fire Immortal Herb I swallowed before, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot.
Their medicinal power is extremely strong. Although I have already refined and absorbed a considerable amount, a large amount of medicinal power is still deposited in my limbs, bones, and meridians.
I need to refine this medicinal power for my own use as soon as possible.
Upon hearing the words "Ice and Fire Immortal Herb," Dugu Bo's lips twitched involuntarily, and he silently scoffed inwardly.
"Immortal Herb? That kid makes it sound so easy—that thing is clearly a top-tier poisonous herb that kills instantly upon contact! It's just that Lin Mo, that freak, was lucky enough not to be poisoned to death, and instead, he turned misfortune into a blessing—"
"Okay." Ye Linyuan nodded in agreement. "Just make sure you handle it carefully."
If you need help or encounter any problems, you can come to the Old Poison or come back to the clinic to find me.
Seeing that the teacher had agreed, Lin Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He certainly had his own plans.
The help these three Immortal Herb — the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, the Infernal Delicate Apricot, and the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew that he later consumed—were revolutionary.
However, they mainly function to strengthen the body, spirit, and gain special resistances, rather than being the kind of Immortal Herb that can directly and significantly increase the Soul Power Level.
Only after fully refining and absorbing the medicinal power accumulated by the Ice and Fire Immortal Herb and consolidating his foundation will he consider consuming the next suitable immortal Immortal Herb.
Just then, Dugu Yan, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly stepped forward.
Those green eyes, which had regained some of their luster, stared intently at Lin Mo, instantly drawing everyone's attention to the two of them.
Her voice carried a hint of nervousness she herself wasn't Frisk of. " Lin Mo, I have a question for you."
Lin Mo looked at her with some surprise. "What's the problem?"
Dugu Yan pursed her lips tightly. "Back in the academy, when the poison backfired, why did you save me?"
Her gaze was fixed intently on Lin Mo's eyes. "Based on my observations of you over this period of time, you—don't seem to be the kind of person who would readily offer help to strangers."
I'd really like to know what you were thinking back then.
Lin Mo was taken aback, clearly not expecting her to suddenly ask this.
He met Dugu Yan's gaze, his eyes open and unwavering.
He recalled the image of Dugu Yan curled up in pain in the rain, and the helplessness and despair he felt when he was tormented by illness in his first life.
"Perhaps it's out of a doctor's instinct."
Lin Mo's voice was calm, "I've been learning medicine from my teacher for some time now. Although it's been a short time, I've still learned a thing or two about saving lives."
He paused, his tone becoming complicated, "Seeing you in so much pain, I couldn't help but feel some sympathy—that's why I offered to help."
His expression was genuine, his eyes clear, revealing no trace of pretense.
Dugu Yan looked at him, most of her doubts had dissipated, but she still couldn't help but ask, "Is that all?
A doctor's compassion, plus a little sympathy?
Lin Mo was taken aback by her question, and he raised his hand to scratch his head.
He glanced at Dugu Yan's beautiful green eyes and her fair face, which had regained its color.
"If we absolutely have to find other reasons—"
He paused, seemingly organizing his thoughts, "Maybe it's because you're very good-looking?"
Upon hearing Lin Mo's reason, Ye Lingling couldn't help but chuckle. Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow, shook his head, and said nothing more.
Dugu Yan, who was praised directly, was first taken aback, and then a bright and radiant smile instantly bloomed on her face, like the warm spring sun after the ice and snow melted, with a breathtaking beauty.
Her bright green eyes stared intently at Lin Mo, clearly pleased with the answer.
She smiled and, while Lin Mo was still somewhat stunned by her blunt words, suddenly stepped forward.
The movement was so fast that it left only a blur, and he quickly and lightly kissed Lin Mo's cheek.
The warm, soft, and moist texture dissolves upon contact.
Lin Mo froze on the spot, his eyes widening slightly, a look of obvious astonishment on his face, as if he had never expected Dugu Yan to make such a bold move.
Dugu Yan had already taken a step back, her face still bearing that bright yet slightly sly smile, her green eyes gleaming as she looked at him.
