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

It's no wonder that Matthew was puzzled. The form of each Soul Master's Martial Soul was fixed when they awakened, which is common knowledge for almost all Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent.

How could an egg-shaped martial spirit transform into a living dragon-like creature? This was completely beyond his comprehension.

Hearing Matthew's question, Lin Mo did not show any surprise on his face. He had expected this question before he came.

He slowly opened his mouth and explained, "Master Matthew, you are not mistaken, the certificate does indeed show an egg."

But my martial spirit is a bit special; it... can hatch.

"Hatch...hatch?" Matthew opened his mouth wide, feeling that his understanding of things over the past few decades had been completely overturned today.

"Yes, hatching." Lin Mo nodded, and to make his point, he raised his right hand and snapped his fingers crisply.

With a snap of his fingers, a small flame, the same kind as the flame burning on the little dragon's tail, leaped up from his fingertip.

"You see, this soul power attribute can't be faked. This little fire dragon really did hatch from my previous egg-shaped martial soul; it is my martial soul!"

Matthew stared intently at the flames on Lin Mo's fingertips and the flames burning on the little dragon's tail, sensing the almost identical aura.

The doubt in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by astonishment as if he had witnessed a miracle.

He sighed deeply, slumped back into his chair, and muttered, "Hatching... I can't believe there's such a thing... I guess I'm really getting old."

He shook his head, his gaze towards Lin Mo becoming somewhat complicated. "Sigh, Notting Academy has admitted quite a few geniuses this year..."

As if remembering something, he added, "Including you, three of the new students this year have already successfully obtained their first spirit ring and officially become spirit masters."

Lin Mo understood immediately; the other two were naturally Tang San and Xiao Wu. However, he didn't interrupt, but simply listened quietly.

Matthew continued, "The two in front, one is a Blue Silver Grass with innate full soul power, and the other is a Rabbit Martial Soul with innate full soul power. They are already Soul Masters."

Now there's another one... Although your martial soul is a bit strange, you have innate level six soul power, you cultivated to become a soul master in nine months, and your first soul ring is also at the hundred-year level...

Sigh, I really don't know what to say.

Perhaps because he had witnessed the impact of Tang San and Xiao Wu, Matthew was numb to Lin Mo's peculiar little fire dragon martial soul.

The impact of Lin Mo's Little Fire Dragon Martial Soul on him was not even as great as that of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, which had innate full soul power and absorbed the four-hundred-year-old Mandragora Serpent Soul Ring.

That was a pure challenge to his understanding.

He rubbed his temples, sorted out the situation, and looked at Lin Mo again, his face regaining its usual serious expression.

He coughed lightly and asked, "Lin Mo, as is customary, I need to ask you a question."

Would you like to join our Spirit Hall?

If you're willing, I can directly recommend you to study at the Soul Master Academy under the Spirit Hall. It will provide you with better resources and a better training environment than Notting Academy.

Upon hearing this question, Lin Mo shook his head almost without hesitation.

He pointed to the yellow spirit ring swirling around the little fire dragon's body, and said in a low but clear voice:

"Thank you for your kind offer, Master Matthew, but I still wish to stay at Notting College."

As you can see, the dean values ​​me highly. My first spirit ring was personally hunted down by Dean Wang Zongchang of Notting Academy.

Lin Mo directly exposed Wang Zongchang's weakness, effectively blocking any possibility of Matthew continuing to act as a lobbyist.

As expected, upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Matthew Nuo's face showed an "I knew it" expression, and he shook his head helplessly.

Dean Wang Zongchang is the dean of Notting Junior Soul Master Academy and a powerful expert at the level of a four-ring Soul Master.

This level of strength might not be considered anything special in other places, but in the small city of Nottingham, it is definitely considered a top-tier expert.

If a Soul Master didn't highly value Lin Mo's talent, how could he personally take a child who had just broken through to level ten to the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain a Soul Ring?

Even though he was a member of the Spirit Hall, he was unwilling to provoke Wang Zongchang easily in this small corner of Notting City.

Especially since Lin Mo had already made it clear that he refused, continuing the conversation would only make him seem tactless.

Moreover, even before asking the question, Matthew had already roughly foreseen the outcome.

After all, the two who came before them, Tang San and Xiao Wu, both refused the Spirit Hall's invitation without hesitation.

The work-study students at Notting Academy this year don't seem to have much interest in being recruited by the Spirit Hall.

When he asked, it was more of a formality than a question; he didn't have high hopes.

Matthew sighed again, said no more, and then took out a crystal ball from the drawer under the table, a crystal ball that Lin Mo had seen before, used to test soul power levels.

"Alright, everyone has their own ambitions. Since you've already made up your mind, I won't try to persuade you any further."

As he spoke, Matthew spread out the registration form. "Now, let's complete the Soul Master identification and registration."

First, place your hand on this crystal ball to test your current soul power level.

"Okay." Lin Mo placed her hand on the blue crystal ball as instructed.

The crystal ball instantly generated a powerful suction force, and soon, a dazzling blue light shone from its surface.

"Level 12 Soul Power!" Matthew nodded, looking at the light emanating from the crystal ball, and recorded the number on the registration form.

"Presumably the hundred-year-old soul ring you absorbed was also quite old, otherwise it wouldn't have been possible to directly raise your soul power level to level twelve."

Next, he inquired in detail and recorded the name of Lin Mo's martial soul, as well as some other inconsequential information.

After finishing recording, Matthew looked at the form and said to Lin Mo, "Your situation is rather special. Your martial soul has undergone... well, incubation."

According to the rules, I need to report this change in your martial spirit form to the higher-ups for record-keeping.

You don't need to worry about this having any negative impact on you. It's just routine. Tang San's Blue Silver Grass spirit absorbing animal spirit rings was also reported before.

"I understand, thank you for your help, Master Matthew." Lin Mo expressed his understanding.

"Keep this safe. This is your first month's allowance after becoming a Soul Master." Matthew took a small money pouch from another drawer and handed it to Lin Mo.

"Here's a gold soul coin. Keep it safe. You can come to the Spirit Hall every month to collect your subsidy by presenting your Soul Master ID."

Lin Mo took the heavy money bag and felt the outline of the gold soul coin inside, and couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

For a work-study student like him, a single gold soul coin is a considerable fortune, enough to keep him from worrying about food expenses for a long time.

"Thank you, Master Matthew!" Lin Mo said sincerely.

"Don't mention it, you deserve it." Matthew waved his hand. "Alright, all the formalities are done, you can go back now."

"Alright, then I'll take my leave." Lin Mo bowed to Matthew again, recalled Charmander, and turned to leave the reception hall.

Things went very smoothly.

He carefully put away the money bag, then started walking towards Notting College.
