Douluo Continent: Starting with the Fire-Breathing Dragon Martial Soul!

The other people in the dormitory followed Lin Mo's gaze and all focused their attention on Tang San.

Then, recalling that it was Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang and Dean Wang Zongchang who went to find Lin Mo at noon today, and that Yu Xiaogang is Tang San's teacher...

A look of understanding immediately appeared on everyone's faces, and their gazes toward Tang San became complicated.

Wang Sheng stared wide-eyed at Tang San, asking uncertainly, "Tang San... it couldn't be you...?"

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Tang San finally couldn't sit still any longer.

He took a deep breath, stood up from the bed, and tried his best to keep his face calm, but his eyes were somewhat daring, and he dared not meet Lin Mo's gaze.

"I told the teacher," Tang San admitted, his voice relatively calm, but a hint of nervousness could be detected upon closer listening.

He paused for a moment, then said, "I... I was just concerned about you, Lin Mo."

"Your martial spirit has undergone such a peculiar change; I'm worried there might be some hidden dangers."

He looked at Lin Mo, trying to make his eyes appear more sincere: "My teacher, Master Yu, is a leading figure in the field of Soul Master theory, and he is very knowledgeable."

I was thinking that if I let him take a look, he might be able to figure out the root cause of your martial soul's changes, which would be beneficial to your future development.

"I really didn't mean any harm, I just wanted to help you out of kindness."

Tang San's explanation sounded reasonable and made it seem like he was thinking of his classmate.

However, after listening, Lin Mo's expression remained as calm as a deep pool, but his gaze towards Tang San held an undisguised scrutiny and questioning.

Lin Mo's gaze was so sharp that it seemed to pierce through Tang San's hypocritical disguise, silently questioning his false reasons: Do you even believe them yourself?

Under Lin Mo's all-seeing gaze, Tang San felt his face burning, and the guilt in his heart felt like it was being exposed to the blazing sun, leaving him nowhere to hide.

He subconsciously avoided Lin Mo's gaze and lowered his head slightly.

The real reason is known only to Tang San himself.

He could see clearly that his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, had been stuck at the level 29 bottleneck for most of his life because of the flaws in Luo Sanpao's martial soul.

If no special opportunities or changes occur in the future, there is a high probability that Yu Xiaogang will be stuck at level 29 for life and will never be able to break through to the Soul Venerable realm.

This morning, when he saw Lin Mo's successfully hatched little fire dragon martial soul, which was displaying powerful combat strength, a thought immediately popped into his mind.

Lin Mo's Little Fire Dragon Martial Soul and his teacher's Luo Sanpao Martial Soul are both extremely rare separated beast Martial Souls!

He believes this may be an opportunity that cannot be missed.

A way for Teacher Yu Xiaogang to find the opportunity for Luo Sanpao's martial soul to break through to the Soul Master realm from Lin Mo's Little Fire Dragon martial soul!

It was with this thought and hope that he decided to break the agreement he had made with Lin Mo and the others from Dormitory 7 that morning.

Without hesitation, he told his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, all the information he knew about Lin Mo's martial spirit.

In his heart, the idea that "a teacher for a day is a father for life" is a principle he has always upheld.

For the sake of his teacher's future, he felt that making a small breach of promise was acceptable, and even worthwhile.

So, on the surface, he expressed his apology to Lin Mo, but deep down, he didn't think he had really done anything wrong.

His starting point was ultimately for Yu Xiaogang's sake.

Lin Mo looked at Tang San, who was bowing his head and remaining silent, and slowly nodded, a hint of clear sarcasm finally appearing in his tone:

"I see. Well then, I really must... thank you for your kindness."

The deliberately emphasized word "thank you" gave the sentence a unique meaning.

"However, I'm afraid I can't accept such kindness, and there's no need for it in the future." Lin Mo's voice returned to its calm tone. "This time, I guess I trusted the wrong person."

Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, which were clearly tinged with distance and sarcasm, Tang San's body stiffened slightly.

His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't utter a single word.

……

Seeing the atmosphere getting a bit tense, Wang Sheng quickly stepped in to smooth things over. He slapped his chest hard, making a loud "thump," and said loudly:

"Lin Mo, don't worry! I, Wang Sheng, am not the kind of person who goes back on his word! If I promised to keep it a secret, I absolutely will! You can trust me completely!"

Wang Sheng's words were intended to ease the tension and clarify his stance.

But Lin Mo, upon hearing this, merely turned his head, looking at him with a half-smile, and teased:

"Wang Sheng, what you just said... sounds a bit off?"

As soon as Lin Mo spoke, the tense atmosphere in the dormitory immediately eased.

Even the work-study students couldn't help but chuckle, and even Xiao Wu pursed her lips with a slight smile on her face.

Everyone looked cheerful, as if the unpleasantness from before had been put to rest.

However, upon closer observation, one can see that many of them, after laughing, looked at Tang San with a newfound wariness and scrutiny in their eyes.

Xiao Wu walked over to Tang San, patted his shoulder, and said with obvious dissatisfaction:

"Tang San, I'm not trying to be mean, but what you did was really unethical."

She tilted her head and looked at Tang San, "This morning when we were all together, we all agreed to keep Lin Mo's secret."

How could you decide to tell the master about this without even asking Lin Mo?

Xiao Wu is simple and straightforward. She believes that she should keep her promises to others. Tang San's self-righteous behavior makes her feel very uncomfortable and even disgusted.

Tang San's actions have severely damaged the goodwill he had painstakingly built up among the Seven Dormitories over the past six months.

Even Xiao Wu, who usually had a good relationship with him, couldn't help but feel a little distant at this moment.

After all, these work-study students are still teenagers, with relatively simple minds and a simple sense of right and wrong, often seeing things in black and white.

In a matter that they considered to be clearly a matter of "right and wrong," Tang San's act of "betraying" the agreement was obviously categorized as "wrong."

Tang San felt the various gazes directed at him and listened to Xiao Wu's blunt criticism. He felt his face burning and his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself, but found that all his words seemed so pale and powerless in the face of the facts.

He eventually just silently lowered his head, sat back down on his bed, and stopped looking at anyone.
