Chapter 165: Return To Shrek
I have to say, this time Spirit Hall is setting a ruthless trap!
No matter how Ling Mo thought about it, he couldn’t figure out what scheme was behind this.
However… when the soldiers come, use generals to block them; when the water comes, use earth to cover it. There’s nothing to fear. No matter what tricks they use, Ling Mo welcomes them all.
Leaving Ghost Gate, Ling Mo headed straight toward Shrek Academy.
Calculating the time, ever since he arrived in Heaven Dou City, he hadn’t properly stayed at the academy.
He’d been busy with Ghost Gate matters and had forgotten he originally had the identity of a student.
“Yo, what day is it today! Everyone’s all here?”
As soon as Ling Mo entered Shrek Academy and was about to head to the dormitory, he unexpectedly spotted Tang San and the others gathered in the small forest next to the dormitory.
Among them, Master, Flander, Liu Erlong, Zhao Wuji, and the others were all present.
“What wind blew you here today?”
Seeing Ling Mo, everyone was overjoyed. After many days apart, the Shrek crowd was gathered again.
“Right, Dean! How have you considered the matter I discussed with you before?”
Ling Mo looked at everyone, then asked Flander.
He’d given Flander plenty of time to consider. If there was still no result, he would really give up.
“Hehe, we’ll talk about this privately! Right, what about that announcement fee you mentioned last time?”
Flander had a sly merchant grin, rubbing his fingers while speaking, the perfect picture of a shady businessman.
“Don’t worry! I won’t short you on the money that needs to be paid! Here… this is one million. From the Soul Master Competition to the end, I’ll cover all sponsorship for Shrek Academy…”
Ling Mo directly tossed a card to Flander, exciting him so much he nearly danced on the spot.
“Right, have you finalized the school uniforms? Remember to add the Ghost Gate mark on them…”
“Don’t worry, the school uniforms were ordered long ago. The effect is guaranteed to satisfy you…”
It seemed the school uniforms he designed were definitely the eye-catching kind.
“What are you all discussing?”
Ling Mo couldn’t be bothered to dwell on the school uniform matter. Anyway, Flander would handle it properly.
“What else? The Soul Master Competition is about to start, so we’re discussing tactics…”
Oscar said leisurely.
“Exactly! Lately, everyone’s been exhausted, while you’ve been out enjoying yourself…”
Ma Hongjun was extremely depressed. He wanted to go out and have fun too!
Unfortunately, ever since Ling Mo cured his evil fire, he no longer had an excuse to fool around.
“It’s just a Soul Master Competition! What’s there to worry about? Rest assured! With me here this time, I guarantee you’ll all pass successfully…”
Ling Mo patted his chest, directly making the promise!
“Xiao Mo, you’re not joking, right? That Soul Master Competition isn’t as simple as you think. It’s full of experts! It’s not that easy…”
Tang San was somewhat speechless. Why did their daily worries seem so simple to Ling Mo?
“Exactly, all you do is brag! Nyah nyah nyah…”
Ning Rongrong made a face, not believing Ling Mo’s nonsense at all.
“You bratty girl, when have I ever lied to you all! Relax, this time I’ll escort you all the way and guarantee you pass successfully…”
To be honest, Ling Mo didn’t take this Soul Master Competition to heart at all.
The only thing that could give him a bit of pressure was Spirit Hall’s Golden Generation team. The rest were mostly Soul Sect level teams.
For these teams, even if Ling Mo was only in his forties level, he wouldn’t need to fear them.
Not to mention Ling Mo had already reached level 58! He would soon enter level 60. Dealing with these teams would be a piece of cake.
What’s more, Ling Mo had two heaven-defying martial souls: one Everything Can Be Stolen, and one that buffs anything!
What a joke. With these heaven-defying cheats, beating anyone would be like playing a game.
“Don’t be careless! From what I know, none of the participating teams this time are simple.
You’ve been away for a long time, not participating in training. You need time to gel with the team, or problems could arise…”
Master said solemnly. He wanted so badly to prove himself in this Soul Master Competition, so… Ling Mo participating was the thing that made him happiest.
When he heard Ling Mo say he would participate earlier, he was excited for a moment, but hid it well.
He’d waited so many years for this one chance to prove himself.
Ling Mo naturally understood what he was thinking. After thinking… when he first entered the Soul Master World, Master had been his guide.
This time, it could be considered repaying him! Future matters could wait; first, settle this favor.
“Master is right! You kid, no proper form day after day, skipping training and classes…”
Flander was about to continue.
“Alright, alright, that’s enough! So many issues? When it starts, just go up and fight. Done.
The best way for team coordination is actual combat! Actual combat is the best way to fuse team tacit understanding…”
Why were they turning the guns on him? One after another, endlessly nagging.
“Haha, Flander! I think Xiao Mo is right. Actual combat is the only standard to test truth…”
I have to say, on this point, old Zhao was on the same side as Ling Mo.
“Teacher Zhao, you get me, my confidant…”
“Go go go! Enough already, get back in position!”
Seeing these two on the same side, Flander immediately got upset.
What was wrong with this old Zhao? So clueless.
“Hehe…”
Ling Mo smiled and ran back to the team, sitting next to Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.
“Alright, back to the main topic!”
Master paused, then continued.
“There’s something I must remind you of. In the preliminary round in the Heaven Dou City division, only three of you eight little monsters can be on the field at the same time.
Among them, Rongrong definitely won’t play in the preliminary round. I’ll give her extra special training during this time.”
“Three? Master, are you planning to conserve strength?”
Hearing only three would play, Ling Mo immediately understood. Turns out Master still didn’t fully trust him and was deliberately hiding his trump card.
But it made sense. No matter what, conserving strength was key! Sometimes, an unexpected lineup could have surprising effects.
“Exactly! The players definitely playing in the preliminary round include Tailong, Huang Yuan, Jing Ling, and Jiang Zhu, four people.
The other three spots, you decide among yourselves! Anyone except Rongrong can play…”
After Master finished, he gave Ling Mo a meaningful look.
This was using him as a shield!
The ones appearing first would definitely be thoroughly researched. The subsequent teams might target the one who appeared most as the breakthrough point.
Ling Mo understood Master’s idea, but he wasn’t afraid!
Because he couldn’t be researched. With Dual Pupils, he could switch martial souls at will. No matter how they studied, it would be useless.
Moreover… Ling Mo had killing moves, like the Confiscation Divine Skill of Five-Colored Divine Light. It was practically blatant cheating.
What did Ling Mo have to fear?
“Master, those four you mentioned, are they the four in the back?”
Ling Mo turned and saw Tailong and the others sitting quietly in the back.
Huh… there’s also a missy, pretty cute.
