Chapter 27: Little Witch
“Xiao Mo, this isn’t over between us…”
After executing Oscar with three punches and two kicks, Xiao Wu charged furiously at Ling Mo.
“Dead girl, is that how you talk to your brother?” Ling Mo casually tossed a sentence her way, and Xiao Wu was instantly furious.
In the whole world, which brother pits his sister like this? Is there? Until Ling Mo appeared, there was.
“I don’t care! If you don’t compensate me today, this isn’t over between us…”
The little girl was in the heat of her anger, not something that could be soothed with just a few words.
It seemed like he had to bleed heavily again. Thinking of this, Ling Mo felt heartbroken.
“Fine, fine, fine, this thing’s for you. Consider me unlucky!”
With that, Ling Mo casually tossed a bell to Xiao Wu, a very delicate bell.
“What is this? Where did it come from?” Xiao Wu thought the bell was very pretty and loved it a lot, but she didn’t know what effect it had.
“This is a Soul Tool. Last time I went with you to dig up that…”
Wait, almost slipped up. Seeing so many people around, if he said this thing was dug up from Grave Robbery, he’d probably be hacked to death by random blades.
“Sigh, don’t worry about where it came from! Anyway, just know that this thing is like Xiao San’s Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night, also a pretty powerful Soul Tool…”
Almost let it slip. Ling Mo was glad he stopped in time and didn’t want to explain further. Those who get it naturally get it; no need to explain to those who don’t.
“Such a pretty bell! For the sake of this bell, I’ll forgive you…”
Xiao Wu said happily, clearly very satisfied with Ling Mo’s gift.
At this moment, Tang San couldn’t hold back. “Cough cough… Xiao Mo, considering our friendship over so many years, didn’t you prepare any gift for me?”
Tang San knew Ling Mo inside and out. This guy was addicted to Grave Robbery, and the treasures in his hands were not few.
Tang San had always been eyeing the strange metals in his hands. If those things were used to forge Hidden Weapons, their power would definitely be several times stronger than the originals.
“Damn! Robbing the rich now, are you?” Ling Mo’s face darkened, extremely unhappy!
“Fine, fine! I happen to have something perfect for you. Catch…”
With that, Ling Mo casually tossed over a strange stone.
After Tang San caught it and fiddled with it in his hands for a long time, he suddenly discovered that the stone contained a strange power.
This power wasn’t Soul Power! It was a special Spiritual Power, very pure power that not only enhanced the stone’s hardness but also had certain attack capabilities.
“What a strange stone. Perfect for forging the Zhuge Divine Crossbow! It might even add more Impact to its power.”
Tang San muttered to himself, thanked Ling Mo, and said only, “Hehe, then I’ll reluctantly accept it.”
“Damn! Reluctantly? Aren’t you just eyeing the stuff in my hands? And you say reluctantly…”
Ling Mo felt that having such partners was definitely his misfortune.
Ling Mo casually gave out two treasures, shocking the people nearby.
Just how rich was this guy? Although they didn’t know what the stone in Tang San’s hand was for, from Tang San’s reaction, it was definitely a treasure.
Not to mention the Soul Tool in Xiao Wu’s hand. You know… Soul Tools with storage capabilities had long lost their refining methods.
The Soul Tools on the Continent now were mostly monopolized by the Great Families, with hardly any in civilian hands.
“This kid has an unknown origin and is generous with his gifts. He must be somebody!”
Dai Mubai, who had been silent, kept watching Ling Mo, the guy who stole his wife.
Through a series of details, he realized Ling Mo definitely had a big background. Not only freakish talent and astonishing combat power, but also extremely generous—he was clearly a noble young master.
He really was a tricky opponent. Dai Mubai no longer had any contempt.
“Alright! Are you done talking? Let’s go. I’ll take you straight to the fourth gate…”
Back to business. Though Dai Mubai was very displeased with Ling Mo, he still followed procedure dutifully.
“Straight to the fourth gate? Why?”
Tang San and the others were stunned, not understanding what Dai Mubai meant. Could it be because they were handsome, so he was opening a back door?
“Let me explain first! Shrek Academy has an assessment rule: as long as you’re under thirteen and your Soul Power exceeds Level Twenty-Five, you can skip the second and third gates and go straight to the final gate!
Your Soul Power should all exceed Level Twenty-Five, right?”
Dai Mubai had fought Tang San and Ling Mo, so he naturally knew their Soul Power levels and said this on purpose.
“So that’s how it is!”
After explaining, Dai Mubai went to inform the teacher of the second gate, but it unexpectedly stirred up dissatisfaction among the crowd.
“Why? Why can they go straight to the fourth gate?”
“Yeah, we’ve all been queuing here for half a day. Why can they go straight to the fourth gate?”
Seeing the crowd’s emotions unstable, the teacher couldn’t sit still.
“If your Soul Power also exceeds Level Twenty-Five, then you can go straight to the fourth gate exam.
But if your Soul Power doesn’t exceed Level Twenty-Five, you must pass each one item by item.”
“Level Twenty-Five? Impossible. Reaching Level Twenty-Five at twelve is simply impossible…”
These words immediately stirred more dissatisfaction. Reaching Level Twenty-Five at twelve was simply impossible.
“Just because you can’t doesn’t mean others can’t! Since you don’t believe it, then see for yourselves, Tang San…”
Dai Mubai was already holding in a bellyful of anger. Who dared to challenge him? He couldn’t hold back anymore.
He directly tossed a white test crystal to Tang San!
Test crystals vary in color by level. This white crystal was for Soul Power testing below Level Thirty. If Soul Power exceeded Level Thirty, it would directly shatter the crystal.
Tang San grabbed the test crystal, showed a faint smile, then suddenly exerted force, injecting Soul Power into the crystal ball instantly.
In that instant, a strong light burst from the crystal ball.
“Heavens! That’s almost Level Thirty, right?”
The intense light covered the entire area of the crystal ball, shocking everyone.
After Tang San finished testing, he tossed it directly to Xiao Wu nearby. Without exception, after Soul Power Injection, Xiao Wu also emitted the same light as Tang San.
Another heavy blow, shocking countless people! Another genius almost at Level Thirty?
It wasn’t over. At that moment, a girl stepped out from the team and said softly, “Teacher, I think I can go straight to the fourth gate too…”
As Xiao Wu was about to hand the crystal ball to Ling Mo, Ning Rongrong walked out, gave Ling Mo a meaningful glance, and took the crystal ball.
Good grief, had she recognized him? Ling Mo’s heart went ice-cold.
Why did her eyes seem to carry a trace of killing intent?
This Little Witch was not to be trifled with. She might look sweet and cute on the outside, but when she truly lost her temper, you’d know what viciousness was.
Ling Mo felt a chill and directly hid behind Zhu Zhuqing. This series of actions puzzled Zhu Zhuqing greatly.
Could it be that this guy also had something with the girl in front of her? Thinking of this, her demeanor grew even colder, very angry.
“Just how many girls has this guy secretly hooked up with?”
Zhu Zhuqing was speechless. Why did everyone looking at Ling Mo have such terrifying eyes…
After Ning Rongrong injected Soul Power, she also burst with strong light, just slightly weaker in intensity than Xiao Wu and Tang San’s.
The scene erupted in commotion again. So many geniuses appearing in one day had already battered their proud hearts.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhuqing strode out coldly, snatched the crystal ball from Ning Rongrong’s hand, and instantly injected Soul Power.
Again, light burst forth, shocking countless people!
“Heavens! Is Shrek Academy really that magical? To have so many twelve-year-olds reaching Level Twenty-Five at the same time…”
Amid the astonished voices, all eyes turned to Ling Mo, the only one in the group who hadn’t tested yet.
“Stinky rogue, aren’t you going to show off your charming flair?” Ning Rongrong said meaningfully.
“Hehe, as expected, you can’t wrap fire in paper. No matter where I go, I’m dazzling! Even when I hide so deeply, you can still discover my incredibly handsome face in the dark corner…”
