Chapter 44: Ling Mo’s Secret
One night of Fighting Soul battles was almost over!
After returning to the Fighting Soul spectator stand and reporting the battle results to Flander, he quietly waited for Tang San and Xiao Wu’s Three Five combination to finish their battle.
During this time, Ling Mo went out multiple times! His actions were very puzzling, especially to Zhu Zhuqing. She figured out that Ling Mo had been running back and forth so many times, acting sneaky, but she didn’t know what he was up to?
“Alright, Mu Bai! Lead the team back! Fatty, come with me…”
At the entrance to the Fighting Soul Arena, Flander left alone with Ma Hongjun. Today’s battles were over, but he didn’t return to the academy with the team. Instead, he took Ma Hongjun in another direction.
This behavior was very baffling. Tang San asked curiously, “Dean and Fatty, where are they going?”
“Where else could they go? If I’m not wrong, this guy probably has too much Evil Fire and needs to vent it…”
Ling Mo rolled his eyes and replied, but his gaze stayed fixed on the western direction! Looking suspicious, Zhu Zhuqing next to him kept paying attention to him, wanting to see what he was really up to.
“Uh…”
As soon as Tang San heard Ling Mo’s explanation, he immediately understood! But some people still didn’t get it, like Xiao Wu.
“Vent it? What does that mean?” Xiao Wu asked curiously.
Tang San felt even more embarrassed upon hearing this and quickly covered her mouth, whispering an explanation in her ear.
After hearing Tang San’s explanation, Xiao Wu’s face turned red like a red apple. She muttered, “Pah! Disgust…”
“Haha, whether it’s disgust or not, I don’t know. Anyway, I feel like Fatty probably likes it a lot…”
Ling Mo laughed! With something this good, who wouldn’t like it! Men, it’s all understandable…
Even Dai Mubai showed a slight smile, but to Zhu Zhuqing, that smile looked ugly.
“Boring!”
Before he could even tease her, Zhu Zhuqing coldly tossed out those words and left alone.
Little friend, do you have a lot of question marks?
Dai Mubai hadn’t even opened his mouth when Zhu Zhuqing’s figure was already far away, leaving him with a dumbfounded look.
What was this? Why could Ling Mo tease freely, but he couldn’t? He didn’t even have the right to speak?
Hit again, Dai Mubai’s face grew even darker! But he had nowhere to vent it. Just then, a drunkard stumbled over from the side and bumped into him.
This was walking right into the line of fire. Dai Mubai had a belly full of anger with nowhere to go. He couldn’t beat Ling Mo, and he couldn’t provoke Tang San and Xiao Wu either!
Suddenly, a punching bag barged in—it was practically a blessing.
Sure enough… Furious Dai Mubai, after being bumped by the drunkard, directly slapped him flying with one palm!
“Damn it! Dead drunkard, are you looking to die?”
Dai Mubai cursed angrily and indignantly. Could anyone these days ride on his head and shit?
For Dai Mubai suddenly exploding like this, Xiao Wu and Tang San clearly didn’t understand! While Ling Mo had a completely indifferent expression.
Whatever! Let him vent his madness. These past few days had been frustrating enough for him.
“Xiao San, you two head back first. I have something to do and need to go out…”
Seeing that the time was about right, Ling Mo said goodbye first. He took out a shovel from his Soul Tool and headed directly west.
Seeing him take out the shovel, Tang San and Xiao Wu immediately understood what he was going to do! They revealed sly smiles.
“Bro, should we follow him?”
“This isn’t good, right?”
“What’s not good about it? Hurry up…”
These two whispered some scheme in each other’s ears. Dai Mubai looked baffled. Under his rage, his attention was completely drawn to that drunkard. By the time he reacted, he was the only one left at the scene. Tang San and Xiao Wu’s figures had long disappeared without a trace.
Exiting from the west side of the city, Ling Mo dashed northwest for several hundred meters and stopped on a small hilltop!
Wielding the shovel in his hand, hanging from it, Wind Language gently floated, faintly flashing with a beam of cold light!
“No! This aura doesn’t feel like a secret treasure’s aura. It seems related to that coffin!
It lingered here for a bit but left quickly. That direction… seems to be the Star Dou Great Forest…”
The shovel swayed lightly in his hand. Ling Mo’s Dual Pupils were already open, Five-Colored Divine Light blooming from his body, sacred and inviolable!
Two Soul Rings floated unsteadily, seemingly operating in some regular pattern. At a certain moment, they pointed straight at the shovel’s suspension, and the light dispersed.
Suddenly sensing an anomaly behind him, Ling Mo revealed a slight smile!
That’s right, the sneaky figures behind him were Tang San and Xiao Wu. Ling Mo had discovered them long ago but just didn’t want to point it out!
This time, he didn’t plan to bring them along, because this matter concerned his own secret, which no second person could know!
“Bro, what is Xiao Mo doing there?”
Under the moonlight glow, Ling Mo stood alone on the hilltop. His white clothes swayed with the breeze, light flickering faintly, looking very strange.
Xiao Wu couldn’t help but question. Tang San stayed relatively calm and also took out a shovel, saying, “No idea! Maybe he found a good tomb? But I observed around here earlier and didn’t see any sign of a tomb…”
Tang San was also puzzled. He used his Purple Demon Eye and the same detection method as Ling Mo, but found nothing unusual here.
Sneaking around behind, the two followed closely. Suddenly… a beam of light emanated from Ling Mo, blinding them both so they couldn’t open their eyes.
“Oh no!”
By the time Tang San realized something was wrong, Ling Mo’s shadow was gone from the hilltop!
“He ran?”
Seeing Ling Mo vanish, Xiao Wu immediately cursed him out. So this guy had discovered them long ago!
“Such fast speed! Xiao Mo’s strength is getting harder and harder to fathom!”
Tang San exclaimed in admiration, then boldly walked out from the mountain forest!
Standing in Ling Mo’s position, he used the same technique as Ling Mo to probe around, but still didn’t detect any tomb nearby.
“Bro, are we just going back like this?” Xiao Wu was unwilling! Tang San didn’t want to return empty-handed either.
At that moment, he suddenly noticed a faint energy fluctuation in the northwest direction. A slight tremor came from the shovel.
“No! There’s something…”
Having mastered the detection technique proficiently, Tang San immediately spotted it! Underground several hundred meters away, there was a strange energy fluctuation.
After hesitating a bit, Tang San and Xiao Wu headed straight in that direction! As for Ling Mo… he was already thousands of meters away from them by now.
Racing through the night for thousands of meters, Ling Mo pursued that gradually fading aura all the way, his speed pushed to the limit!
Yet he still couldn’t catch up! Seeing the aura fade away, Ling Mo gave up the chase.
Back at the Great Fighting Soul Arena, he had already sensed this aura. He thought it would linger for a while, but it disappeared so quickly.
Logically speaking, how could a coffin move around freely? Ling Mo really couldn’t figure it out, just like how he couldn’t figure out how it brought him to this world.
That coffin was hidden underground! All its movements happened hundreds of meters below ground!
Over these years, Ling Mo had done countless grave robberies. Besides for money, there was another purpose: to find that coffin.
“That’s the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest! It entered the Star Dou Great Forest again. Is it deliberately luring me there?”
Having a vague guess, Ling Mo originally wanted to head to the Star Dou Great Forest alone, but to avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided to hold off for a few days.
Earlier, when Flander left, he had said that tomorrow morning Zhao Wuji would lead the team to take them to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Ling Mo had already reached Level Thirty long ago, but he hadn’t absorbed his third Soul Ring yet! Flander planned for Zhao Wuji to take them all there tomorrow, which would also count as a form of training.
