Chapter 244: Imperial Fighting Team
“I roughly checked the schedule. In the next few days, the opponents our Shrek Academy faces all have average strength.
Perfect, didn’t you all want to get on stage and play? Might as well let you play as much as you want these few days, so I can rest for a bit…”
Ling Mo simply gave himself a vacation. Fighting such opponents held no interest at all, so he might as well let Tang San and the others handle it themselves.
“Don’t get careless. Until we’re sure we can advance, it’s better to play it safe…”
The Master walking ahead reminded them. He was still counting on this chance to prove himself and aim for the overall champion.
“Don’t worry, Master! In the entire tournament, only Thunder Academy, Heaven Water Academy, and Divine Wind Academy are really tough. The rest aren’t hard to deal with.
Oh! There’s also Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but this team has already lost to us once, and we won’t give them a chance to win…”
Thinking about it, it seemed like Heaven Dou Royal Academy hadn’t appeared in the entire tournament yet. He didn’t know what powerful things they had cultivated during this time.
“In short, caution is key. Handle the rest as you see fit!” The Master finally said that. Overall, he absolutely trusted Ling Mo’s decisions.
Because he had never disappointed him yet.
He was already imagining finding time to visit Spirit Hall—not for anything else, just to ask that Pope of Spirit Hall how to solve the issue of twin martial souls.
Even he didn’t know how to resolve the matter of twin martial souls.
On this point, Ling Mo was also researching it, but… his twin martial souls system wasn’t following the same path as Tang San’s.
So the Master couldn’t help him, and Ling Mo didn’t want his help either.
Over these years, Ling Mo had been studying the Dual Pupils and discovered that the Dual Pupils strongly rejected soul rings.
Actually, from the very beginning, the Dual Pupils had rejected soul rings; Ling Mo just hadn’t noticed.
He originally thought only the Five-Colored Divine Light rejected them, but later realized it was truly the Dual Pupils doing the rejecting.
Because they were pure enough to tolerate no other energy bodies that would affect their purity.
Ling Mo had deep insights into the supreme inheritance of the Dual Pupils. Perhaps… the Dual Pupils had another path to take.
Therefore, it was currently impossible to absorb soul rings.
However, Ling Mo hadn’t found that other path for the Dual Pupils yet, so he could only slowly explore it from the Three Lives Scripture.
As for Tang San, that was up to the Master! He didn’t need to worry about it anyway.
He couldn’t even solve his own problems, so how could he have the leisure to solve others’?
In short, with a Peacock in my right hand, a pair of Dual Pupils, and a Supreme Bone in my body, what do you have to fight me with?
Up to now, Ling Mo didn’t need to develop the power of the Dual Pupils; he could still be invincible in the world.
It’s just… if going higher, like the God Realm or other worlds.
The Dual Pupils still needed to be developed.
And there was one key thing: the Invincible Heart that Ling Mo had lost for a long time.
Since it was something that appeared in karma, it was inevitably the most crucial factor on his path.
If he couldn’t retrieve it, the final outcome might repeat the same mistakes.
After the group returned to Shrek Academy, they each went back to their own rooms to rest.
Ling Mo had it the worst, getting dragged into Zhu Zhuqing’s room by Ning Rongrong pinching his ear.
Soon after, miserable screams came from that small room, shocking heaven and earth, weeping ghosts and gods.
The next morning, Ling Mo fled from the room in panic. One step slower, and he might have died inside.
“Holy crap, I nearly lost my life. This girl is way too wild!”
Ling Mo fled in disarray, directly escaping the dormitory. Recalling everything from last night, it was still vivid in his mind.
But to be fair, that inhuman torment was pretty great! It just wrecked his throat a bit.
“Hmm! With nothing going on these few days, time to go see Yanyan…”
After leaving Shrek Academy, Ling Mo didn’t know where to go at first, but then remembered he hadn’t visited Dugu Yan in a long time, so he headed straight toward Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
They had already discussed it yesterday: for the upcoming promotion matches, if there were no strong teams, Ling Mo didn’t need to act; they could handle it themselves.
Anyway, Ling Mo was optional. In the original story, they won the championship without him; with him, it was just an extra trump card, making victory easier.
Heading to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, just as he was about to enter, Ling Mo was stopped by the gate guard.
Sure enough, getting in through normal means was tough. This was who-knows-how-many times a gate guard had blocked Ling Mo.
“Do you know who I am? How dare you stop me…”
At the gate, Ling Mo immediately clashed with the gate guard.
“I don’t care who you are. If you’re not a student of our academy, you’re not allowed in…”
The gate guard said disdainfully.
“Damn it! You think I’m giving you face, huh? Believe it or not, I’ll slap you to death…”
This pissed Ling Mo off so much he almost couldn’t hold back from giving him a combo of punches.
“Yo yo yo, who’s this? Such a hot temper first thing in the morning…”
At that moment, a familiar voice came from inside.
Ling Mo looked over and sure enough, it was no one but Dugu Yan.
All members of the Imperial Fighting Team were present, led by an unknown filler teacher that Ling Mo didn’t recognize anyway.
Dugu Yan walked out with ill intentions, her gaze fixed tightly on Ling Mo, inwardly wanting to laugh.
After Ling Mo appeared, the other members of the Imperial Fighting Team shot him hostile glances, with Yu Tianheng being the most obvious.
Ever since Dugu Yan returned from a trip to Ghost Gate, she hadn’t paid him any attention.
He had gradually realized that Dugu Yan must have someone else in her heart; he just didn’t know who had stolen his girlfriend.
Now, seeing Ling Mo and Dugu Yan exchange glances, he instantly understood.
He had originally wanted to teach a lesson to the guy who stole his woman, but upon seeing it was Ling Mo, his temper vanished.
In a fight, he couldn’t win! He had lost to him last time in Suotuo City.
As for cursing him out, he couldn’t do that; he cared too much about his image.
“You guys go ahead. I’ll catch up in a bit…”
Upon spotting Ling Mo, Dugu Yan felt inwardly delighted, thinking this guy finally remembered he had a woman here.
Though very happy, she didn’t show it too much and instead signaled her teammates to head to the arena first.
“Boss, don’t you want to beat this guy up?”
At the front of the team, Ao Siluo egged Yu Tianheng on to fight Ling Mo—after all, Ling Mo had stolen his woman.
“Shut up!”
Yu Tianheng gave him a cold glance, didn’t answer the question, and left without looking back.
He had completely given up. During this time, Dugu Yan hadn’t said a single word to him; he knew it was irreparable.
“Yanyan, we’re heading out first…”
As the Imperial Fighting Team members passed by, Ye Lingling said softly, then gave Ling Mo a cold look.
She still remembered how Ling Mo had kicked her in Suotuo City last time and hadn’t forgotten it.
“Haha, why’s she looking at me like that?”
Ling Mo felt a bit guilty under her gaze and laughed it off.
“What do you think? You’re quite the player, leaving affection everywhere…”
Dugu Yan said resentfully, directly grabbing Ling Mo’s hand and walking outside.
