Chapter 38: Tang San Gets Led Astray
“Alright, everyone else can go rest! Remember, before nightfall, get yourself into the best condition, don’t blame me for not reminding you.
The teaching at this academy is not like other places; you might even face danger.
Oscar and Ning Rongrong stay! Given that you are support soul masters, there are special arrangements for you…”
As soon as the words fell, Ning Rongrong immediately raised a question, saying, “Dean, isn’t this guy also a support soul master?”
Her gaze directly pointed at Ling Mo. Yes! During the fight with Zhao Wuji, the martial soul characteristics that Ling Mo exploded with also possessed features of a support soul master, right?
Moreover… in essence, Five-Colored Divine Light is indeed a support-type martial soul; it’s just that the way Ling Mo uses it doesn’t follow the route of a support soul master.
Ning Rongrong’s doubt was quickly answered.
“Do you think he is a pure support soul master?”
Flander said seriously. Those who knew Ling Mo understood that his martial soul was never one without any combat power.
Even Dai Mubai couldn’t gain any benefit from him; would he be that kind of support soul master without any combat power?
Ling Mo’s positioning has never been clear; it completely depends on who his opponent is or who is nearby.
If the enemy is strong, I am strong; if the enemy is weak, I am weak! Moreover, in essence, as long as there is a powerful soul master nearby, Ling Mo’s potential can be infinitely amplified.
Moreover… the amplification of Five-Colored Divine Light means that even in pure physical confrontations, Ling Mo can stand undefeated.
Flander’s answer left Ning Rongrong without further rebuttal, because Ling Mo’s performance was undoubtedly the most powerful among this group.
Next, Flander’s arrangements for the two were very direct: he had them run twenty laps around the academy separately, then dismissed them.
“Disperse! Go back to sleep…”
Yawning sleepily, Ling Mo headed straight toward the dormitory.
Having stayed up all night tossing around and searching for graves all over the mountain, Ling Mo was already exhausted.
However, he suddenly noticed that Tang San and Xiao Wu followed him, while Zhu Zhuqing went back to the dormitory on her own.
“What are you two following me for?” Ling Mo was puzzled. These two were acting sneaky; what were they up to?
Seeing no one else nearby, Tang San directly asked, “Xiao Mo, why could your Zhuge Divine Crossbow just now unleash such strong power?”
Tang San had a lingering doubt in his heart: the Star Crossbow that Ling Mo used earlier was completely like an upgraded version of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, even more terrifying in power than the original.
For Tang San, who had extreme enthusiasm for hidden weapons, he naturally wouldn’t miss the opportunity to figure out the reason!
Xiao Wu knew they both used that hidden weapon, and though she didn’t understand many parts, Tang San didn’t avoid her and asked directly.
“You mean this?” Ling Mo casually took out the Star Crossbow and tossed it to Tang San to research.
This thing wasn’t actually anything special; it just had some extra effort put into the materials!
Of course, the core thing was that black stone possessing star power.
With Tang San, Ling Mo had nothing to hide, after all, his hidden weapon techniques were all stolen from Tang San!
Sharing experiences with each other might even improve them into more powerful hidden weapons. After all, in this world, only the two of them knew hidden weapons.
“This power… it’s very vast, empty like the Nine Heavens galaxy, yet possessing an endless source of power!
Xiao Mo, what materials did you use? To transform the Zhuge Divine Crossbow like this—its power has completely surpassed that of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow.”
Tang San was puzzled. In his research on hidden weapons, he always had unique insights and could tell at a glance the material characteristics used in the Star Crossbow.
“Materials? The other materials aren’t anything special, just a black stone that’s unique. That stone contains a large amount of star power. I used it to modify the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, and it became like this!
After absorbing the attributes of the star meteorite, the Zhuge Divine Crossbow underwent a complete qualitative change, so naturally its power is stronger than before!
Moreover… I discovered something! It seems these strange stones buried deep underground for many years all possess some special characteristics to varying degrees.
If these characteristics are all absorbed and applied to hidden weapons, perhaps the power would be even greater than before.”
Ling Mo explained. In researching Tang Sect hidden weapons, Ling Mo had the same experience as Tang San.
Over these years of grave robbery, Ling Mo found that many of these tombs, especially large tomb chambers, were crafted from some strange materials.
When these materials were dug out and forged into hidden weapons, they were stronger than those made from common folk iron.
Although Tang San had specialized blacksmithing techniques, no matter how much you tempered them, you couldn’t make those common irons possess this strange power.
“So that’s how it is! No wonder the stone you gave me last time also had some strange characteristics—not only did it strengthen the hidden weapon itself, but it also greatly enhanced its power… Looks like… I need to find an opportunity to dig a grave too…”
Wait, hearing Tang San say this so seriously, Ling Mo suddenly froze!
Oh no, this guy has been led astray. You’re the son of the plane—how can you do something so unconscionable?
Judging by Tang San’s appearance, he didn’t seem to be joking.
“Yay! Bro, when you go digging, take me along too…”
Xiao Wu really loved stirring up chaos. Ever since Ling Mo took her grave robbing once, this little girl got addicted, thinking it was very exciting.
After Ling Mo swore not to take her again, she was unhappy for a long time. Now, seeing her most favored Tang San say he wanted to go too, she immediately cheered up.
How could Tang San refuse her? He always indulged her requests.
“Mm! I need to plan it well and test my luck…”
Tang San seemed determined, because after witnessing the power of Ling Mo’s Star Crossbow, he couldn’t sit still anymore.
In hidden weapons, he always pursued perfection. If his were inferior in power to what Ling Mo made, he would have no advantage.
“Don’t rush into deciding! Do you really think grave robbery is that easy? These all rely on accumulated experience, and… without special techniques, you can’t explore the treasures in the tombs at all. You might end up empty-handed after all the effort!”
Ling Mo couldn’t help but pour cold water on him. It wasn’t that Ling Mo doubted him, but he lacked the ability to explore tombs.
Why? Usually, when Ling Mo robbed graves, he would use his dual pupils to sense. In general tombs, as long as there were treasures, the dual pupils could detect them.
This was why Ling Mo rarely failed! Tang San was different; although he also had Purple Demon Eyes, without special techniques, he still couldn’t explore.
“Special techniques?” Since Tang San was determined, he would definitely learn grave robbery experience from Ling Mo earnestly.
For example, how to use Purple Demon Eyes to explore the aura of treasures, etc.! Ling Mo had no need to hide these, because Tang San was indeed his best friend.
“I’ve researched it! Although Purple Demon Eyes are cultivated the day after, simply exploring for treasures shouldn’t be a problem!
Here’s an idea: come with me first! I’ll teach you how to use Purple Demon Eyes to track treasures…”
With that, Ling Mo directly led the two into his small dormitory and began imparting grave robbery techniques to Tang San.
There was actually a bit of mischievousness in this. If Tang Hao found out he led Tang San astray, would he smash over with a hammer in anger?
Thinking of how Tang Hao scared him away from the Haotian Sect ruins last time, Ling Mo felt indignant! Someday, he’d deliberately lead Tang San there to dig his own ancestral grave.
Then see if Tang Hao would be so angry he’d even beat his own son!
