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

Lin Mo organized his thoughts, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "The main reason I want to study medicine is... because I'm afraid of dying."

His voice carried a seriousness rarely seen on his usual self.

He paused, a complex emotion flickering in his eyes.

"When I lived in the village, I saw some elderly people who passed away prematurely due to illnesses that I thought might not have been too serious."

The reason for this situation in most cases is that timely medical treatment was not received.

Every time I see someone pass away because of illness, I feel... uneasy.

"So I was thinking that if I could learn good medical skills, firstly, I could ensure to the greatest extent possible that I wouldn't die prematurely from some easily overlooked minor illnesses."

Secondly…” He raised his head, his eyes clear, “In the future, perhaps I can lend a helping hand to those trapped by disease, saving as many as I can.”

Lin Mo spoke very sincerely.

He did not lie in this matter, nor was there any need for him to lie.

The reason I had the idea of ​​coming here to be an apprentice was, besides wanting to explore my second martial soul, that I was just a little bit worried.

Perhaps it was because his experience of being sickly in his first life and dying with resentment before the age of twenty was too unforgettable.

He didn't want to experience the despair of helplessness again.

Therefore, he always felt a deep empathy for those who suffered from illness and ultimately passed away with regret.

Previously, he was powerless and could only watch helplessly as that scene unfolded.

But if he has the ability in the future, he would not mind lending a helping hand within his capacity.

This has nothing to do with nobility; it's more like making up for past regrets.

……

Upon hearing Lin Mo's reason for being "afraid of death," Ye Linyuan was clearly stunned.

He has practiced medicine for most of his life and has met people who want to study medicine for all sorts of reasons.

Among these people are those who practice medicine to help the world, those who follow in their fathers' footsteps, and those who want to make a living through this profession.

But it's truly unprecedented for a child who looks only seven years old to say so seriously that he wants to study medicine because he's "afraid of dying."

People who usually have this thought are either seriously ill and desperate to save themselves, or old folks whose lifespan is coming to an end and who are trying to find ways to prolong their lives.

But the child in front of me had a rosy complexion, and his blood and energy were incredibly vigorous. His soul power cultivation was also far beyond that of his peers. No matter how you looked at it, he had nothing to do with the word "near death".

But looking into Lin Mo's earnest eyes and hearing the genuine tone in his voice, he knew in his heart that the child was speaking from the heart.

With his cultivation level as an eight-ring Soul Douluo and his mental strength, he wouldn't be unable to distinguish the truth or falsehood of a child's words at such close range.

Ye Linyuan burst into laughter as if he had heard something amusing.

"Hahaha! Good! What a fine 'coward'!" Ye Linyuan laughed so hard his beard trembled. He slapped his thigh hard.

"In all my years, this is the first time I've heard of someone studying medicine for this reason! That's honest and straightforward!"

He then stopped laughing and said, "Okay, I accept your reason!"

Based on your honesty and... original intention, you can stay here as an apprentice.

However, he changed the subject, his tone becoming slightly more serious, "But whether you can ultimately stay depends on your performance over the next three months."

Studying medicine is not child's play; it requires patience, meticulousness, and perseverance.

If you can't endure this hardship, or if you're not resolute enough, don't blame me for kicking you out.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo felt reassured and quickly nodded in agreement, "I understand, Mr. Ye. I will study diligently and will never give up halfway."

"Hmm." Ye Linyuan nodded in satisfaction, then, as if remembering something, asked again:

"By the way, little guy, I noticed that your Soul Master's Notebook shows that both your Martial Soul Awakening and initial registration took place in Notting City."

Notting City is very far from our Heavenly Dou City. What brings you here?

Lin Mo scratched his head and answered honestly, "Mr. Ye, I have already graduated from Notting Junior Soul Master Academy."

I'm currently studying at the Tiandou Intermediate Soul Master Academy, which is not too far from here.

"It was because I studied here that my schedule was relatively fixed, which gave me the idea to become an apprentice at the clinic; otherwise, I wouldn't have had this opportunity."

"Tian Dou Intermediate Soul Master Academy?" Ye Linyuan's face showed a knowing expression. "So they are students from Xue Sheng's academy. Hmm, that explains it."

The Xue Sheng he mentioned was clearly the same Xue Director from the Heaven Dou Intermediate Soul Master Academy.

"Since you're still in school, you need to manage your time well," Ye Linyuan said to Lin Mo after considering for a moment.

"Here's what we'll do: you can come to the clinic every afternoon and spend one or two hours there."

The specific time depends on your college's course schedule and can be adjusted flexibly.

Don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time, nor will it interfere with your normal soul power cultivation.

"For Soul Masters your age, cultivating Soul Power and improving your strength is the most important thing. I, this old man, can still tell the difference."

Hearing this arrangement, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded: "No problem, Mr. Ye."

I have mostly free time to practice in the afternoons, so coming here is very convenient.

For him, this was simply a matter of allocating some of the time he used to spend in the college library to the clinic.

Moreover, he dared not release the little fire dragon to keep him company in the library of the Heaven Dou Intermediate Soul Master Academy, unlike he did at Notting Academy.

The teachers here aren't as easy to talk to as the teachers at Notting Academy, who would let him and his little dragon roam freely in the library.

Here at the clinic, if he could find a quiet corner, it might actually be more convenient for him to release the little fire dragon to cultivate.

After all, they share soul power, so when the little fire dragon is outside, his cultivation speed is actually faster.

"Then it's settled." Ye Linyuan stood up, a gentle smile on his face. "You can go back today, and we'll officially start tomorrow afternoon."

Just come find Lingling when the time comes, and she'll arrange the specific tasks for you.

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Ye." Lin Mo also stood up and bowed respectfully to Ye Linyuan.

Ye Linyuan waved his hand, "Go on, go on, cultivate well, and come back on time tomorrow."

After thanking him again, Lin Mo turned and left the small room.

In the outer room, Ye Lingling sat quietly by the window, while the boy named Li He was still engrossed in his book, seemingly oblivious to what was happening inside.
