Chapter 167: Shi Nian
“The opening ceremony will begin soon. All of you, get yourselves together and don’t disgrace Shrek Academy. You are the team aiming for the championship.”
“The championship? A toad also wants to win the championship?” At this moment, an unharmonious voice came from the side.
“Huh! Cang Hui Academy?”
Ling Mo looked curiously and indeed saw a team approaching, with two prominent characters on their clothes: Cang Hui!
“I wondered who it was! So it’s you few lapdogs…”
Ling Mo couldn’t help but ridicule, which immediately angered everyone from Cang Hui.
“Kid, what did you say?”
“I said! You few lapdogs!”
Ling Mo, fearing they might not hear, walked up to them and shouted.
After speaking, he looked at them with a smile, appearing extremely arrogant!
The members of Cang Hui Academy were furious. Just then, a powerful and resonant voice rang out, “What are you doing?”
Upon hearing this voice, the expressions of the students from Cang Hui Academy immediately became fawning, and they quickly parted to the sides.
From behind them, an elder, about sixty years old, walked over. He was dressed in a moon-white Soul Master outfit, with golden embroidery.
Flander, who had been observing coldly from the side, had his eyes flicker upon seeing this person.
“Shi Nian? Just a supporting character delivering a Soul Bone?”
Ling Mo scrutinized him, finding it somewhat amusing!
Wasn’t this guy here specifically to deliver a Soul Bone?
This time, he wondered if it was meant for Ling Mo or Tang San.
“What’s up, did the dog owner arrive?”
Ling Mo was not afraid at all. He feared those Soul Masters who used dream realms to kill the least.
No matter how many he opened, he would accept them all.
Ling Mo could confiscate any spirit-based attack! He was naturally immune, there was no other way…
“Kid, you’re very arrogant!”
Originally, Shi Nian intended to call the students of Cang Hui Academy away, but he didn’t expect Ling Mo’s remark to enrage him.
“Xiao Mo!”
Flander was a little worried and wanted to stop him!
After all, Shi Nian was not someone to be trifled with! Even Flander had to be wary of him.
“There’s no helping it, a young man isn’t ambitious if he’s not arrogant! Old fellow, if you disagree, we can set a time to have some fun?”
Ling Mo ignored Flander’s dissuasion and smiled at Shi Nian.
For a moment, everyone fell silent, the atmosphere becoming very strange.
“Heh heh, as expected, heroes emerge from the young! Very good… Kid, I admire your courage. We’ll see…”
Shi Nian gave Ling Mo a sinister look, then waved his hand and said to the students of Cang Hui Academy, “Let’s go…”
Those who knew him were aware that this matter wouldn’t end just like that!
This guy was typically vengeful and insidious.
Ling Mo had offended him today, and he would definitely seek retribution from Ling Mo.
However… he couldn’t make a move here, otherwise, he would have already acted.
“Farewell! You dog…”
Finally, Ling Mo didn’t forget to add a parting shot, which made Shi Nian’s expression even uglier.
The reason Ling Mo provoked him so much was to make him come after him, not Tang San.
Ling Mo had his eye on the Soul Bone he possessed, and conveniently… Ning Rongrong was in need of such a spirit-based Soul Bone.
“Xiao Mo, you’re too impulsive! That guy is not easy to deal with…”
After Shi Nian left, Flander finally couldn’t help it and began lecturing Ling Mo.
“I understand, I understand! It’s just Shi Nian, his Residual Dream Martial Soul is useless against me…”
Ling Mo said dejectedly. He of course knew what means the other party had. In that fleeting moment, Ling Mo had stolen his Martial Soul.
He was aware of all his capabilities.
Trying to trick him? How could that be possible… Ling Mo possessed Dual Pupils that were immune to all illusions.
No deception could escape his eyes! Not to mention, the Confiscation Divine Skill of the Five-Colored Divine Light.
If he dared to come, Ling Mo dared to confiscate! Soul Bones are free for the taking.
“What? You know that guy?”
Flander exclaimed in surprise.
“No! But that doesn’t stop me from stealing his Martial Soul. All his means are hidden from these eyes of mine…
Dean, don’t worry! In a few days, something will definitely happen to that old fellow…”
Ling Mo said meaningfully. If Shi Nian was wise, he shouldn’t provoke him; if he did, he would just be giving away a Soul Bone, nothing more.
“Dean, what are you talking about? Is that old guy very powerful?”
Tang San and the others were confused.
“That old guy is called Shi Nian. His Martial Soul is very special, a type of formless, ethereal Martial Soul.
It can generate various illusions, causing opponents to get lost within them. With his current strength, he can make opponents lost in illusions harm themselves to death.
We call his earth-type Martial Soul Residual Dream. That old guy is extremely venomous. Don’t be fooled by his calm exterior; he’s a ruthless person who holds grudges.”
Flander said worriedly.
“Killing with illusions? Such a Martial Soul exists in this world?”
After hearing Flander’s explanation, everyone was stunned and looked at Ling Mo with great concern.
“Why be scared! A mere dream realm, what’s there to be afraid of.”
Ling Mo said indifferently.
“You! Can’t you be more steady? Why did you have to provoke him for no reason…”
Ning Rongrong said anxiously. She was truly afraid something would happen to Ling Mo.
“If I don’t provoke him, he will come after us! If I remember correctly, you had a conflict with Cang Hui Academy before, right?
Shi Nian is famous for protecting his own. The students of Cang Hui Academy have repeatedly suffered setbacks at your hands, and he won’t let it go.
Moreover… this old fellow, to eliminate strong competitors in this tournament, will resort to any means!
Don’t think he’ll naively let you pass this tournament. If nothing unexpected happens, he’ll show up soon.
If he targets any one of you, you absolutely won’t escape his grasp. The only way is to shift the hatred onto me.
This thing! Although his Martial Soul is strange, it’s useless against me. Conveniently… I’m waiting for him!”
Ling Mo explained, finally looking in the direction Shi Nian had left, a trace of killing intent appearing.
As long as this guy wasn’t dealt with, Ling Mo wouldn’t have peace.
Because his means were too bizarre, capable of killing someone silently.
Ling Mo couldn’t constantly guard the members of Shrek, so… since he knew the other party was coming for revenge, it was better to draw the hatred onto himself.
Only in this way was it the safest method!
A mere Shi Nian was not something Ling Mo took seriously!
The inherent counter of Martial Souls was an unavoidable reality.
After listening to Ling Mo’s explanation, everyone lowered their heads. It was just as Ling Mo had said.
He had, in effect, taken an arrow for them!
“But! Isn’t doing so too risky?”
Tang San said worriedly. He and Ling Mo had grown up together, and their bond was beyond ordinary.
Naturally, he was concerned about Ling Mo’s safety.
“Don’t worry! I’m not out alone this time. Have you forgotten who always accompanies me?”
Ling Mo chuckled softly, and Tang San and the others relaxed.
If Ghost Lord was present, who in this world could harm Ling Mo?
This guy had too much luck, being protected by a top expert wherever he went. Who would dare to touch him?
“Alright! It seems I was overthinking… But you should still act with caution…”
Tang San still reminded him in the end.
