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

The following morning, during break time.

Xiao Lin ran excitedly from the second-grade classroom, pushed open the door of the first-grade classroom, looked around, and immediately locked onto Lin Mo, who was sitting in the back row by the window.

"Lin Mo!" Xiao Lin's loud voice attracted the attention of many students who were resting or chatting quietly in the classroom.

"Come on, come on, let's have another fight before the holiday starts! I'm sure I can last a few more moves this time!"

Lin Mo was staring out the window in a daze when he heard this and turned back with a helpless expression.

He knew that Xiao Lin wouldn't stay quiet for long.

A boy sitting in front of him heard the noise and turned around, looking on with amusement.

Lin Mo looked at the student who had just turned around and said, "Could you please tell the teacher of the next class that I have something to do and need to ask for leave for one class?"

The student in front of him nodded readily and patted his chest, saying, "No problem, I've got it covered. Don't worry about it."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Lin with obvious sympathy in his eyes.

Xiao Lin's reputation, or rather, his intimidating reputation, was known to everyone in the lower grades of the academy.

This reputation wasn't due to his bullying behavior, but rather because he was a notorious battle maniac who would seize any opportunity to spar with others, seemingly without ever getting tired.

Among the freshmen who just enrolled, apart from Lin Mo, this monster, no one could withstand more than a few moves from him.

However, what made the first-year students feel somewhat relieved was that Xiao Lin rarely challenged them to spar, and even when he did, he wouldn't force them; he would always ask for their opinions before sparring.

His focus is more on students in his own grade and those in higher grades.

Moreover, even among the entire second-year students, Xiao Lin's strength is among the best.

There was only one student whose soul power was two levels higher than his, and he had a hard time fighting him; the others were basically no match for him.

The reason he approached Lin Mo again this time was because he sensed that his soul power bottleneck was loosening and he estimated that he would be able to break through to level seventeen soon.

That's why he decided to challenge Lin Mo to another match. After all, among all the people he knew, only Lin Mo could put so much pressure on him while also having a good relationship with him.

I'm willing to fight him.

Seeing Xiao Lin's fighting spirit, Lin Mo did not refuse his invitation to spar.

The reason is simple: Charmander has recently made some new progress in skill mastery and needs to find a suitable opponent to practice against and test the results.

Xiao Lin is a tough, resilient, and powerful attacker, making him a good candidate for practice.

……

The two, one after the other, soon arrived at an open-air sparring area.

Xiao Lin looked at the area, scratched his head in confusion, and looked at Lin Mo: "Why did you choose a place with such high fire resistance? Isn't that bad for your little fire dragon?"

Lin Mo simply smiled and didn't explain further. "It's alright, just stay here."

Anyway, Xiao Lin will soon experience the reason for himself.

The two stood in the center of the field, about ten meters apart.

"Are you ready?" Xiao Lin took a deep breath, his eyes sharpening.

Lin Mo nodded.

Almost simultaneously, the two men uttered a low shout.

"Demon Wolf, Possess Me!" Xiao Lin's body changed again, with gray-black fur sprouting, his hands transforming into sharp claws, and a yellow soul ring rising from his feet, exuding a fierce aura.

On the other side, Lin Mo's mind stirred slightly, and with a flash of red light, the little fire dragon appeared in front of him.

As soon as the little guy came out, he saw the "old acquaintance" on the other side, and the flames on his tail suddenly flared up.

His eyes were fixed intently on Xiao Lin, and a low growl filled with fighting spirit came from his throat.

That look made Xiao Lin's heart skip a beat, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This feels a bit ominous... This little guy seems even more excited than last time?"

Lin Mo stood behind, arms crossed, watching silently.

He knew very well that even if both sides had the same soul power level, Xiao Lin would have a hard time lasting more than a few moves against the little fire dragon, so he didn't need to give any extra instructions.

Moreover, although Xiao Lin's soul power has reached the peak of level sixteen and shown signs of a breakthrough in the past six months, he has not yet broken through.

His soul power had already steadily increased to level nineteen, and the difference between them was significant.

"Start!" Lin Mo shouted.

Xiao Lin instantly regained his composure and roared, "First Soul Skill, Wolf Transformation!"

The gray light on his body surface reappeared, and his speed and strength were amplified.

He pushed off with his feet and suddenly shot forward, but instead of rushing directly at the little fire dragon, he tried to go around it from the side, aiming straight at Lin Mo behind him!

He knew very well that he would be at a disadvantage if he went head-to-head with the little fire dragon, and that he would only have a chance if he tried to attack the soul master's main body.

However, Charmander reacted even faster than him.

It opened its mouth and with a "whoosh," a series of blazing fireballs shot out like a machine gun, blocking Xiao Lin's path to charge forward and dodge.

spark!

Xiao Lin had anticipated this. He gritted his teeth, prepared to be burned by the flames, and planned to use his wolf-transformed defense and speed to forcefully disperse a few sparks and rush through.

He swung his claws repeatedly, creating streaks of gray and shattering several fireballs, his hands feeling a familiar burning sensation.

But just as he thought he had found a breakthrough and was about to accelerate forward—

The little dragon took another deep breath, its chest expanding slightly, and then it spewed out not scattered fireballs, but a large, even hotter and more concentrated flame!

The ball of flame spun and expanded rapidly in the air, forming a fiercely burning vortex of flame in the blink of an eye, which completely engulfed Xiao Lin, who was trying to rush forward!

"What?!" Xiao Lin felt a crimson glow before his eyes, and his body was tightly enveloped by scorching air.

The binding force from the spinning flames was extremely strong, causing his movements to become incredibly sluggish for a moment.

The intense heat scorched his fur and skin, causing waves of stinging pain. He desperately tried to resist by channeling his soul power, but it felt as if he were trapped in a cage of flames.

Xiao Lin was completely dumbfounded.

He was absolutely certain that the yellow hundred-year soul ring under the little fire dragon's feet had not lit up just now!

Moreover, he had seen the little dragon's first soul skill, Flame Strike, before. It was a dash-type soul skill, completely different from the flame vortex that was trapping him in front of him!

This blazing flame had an extremely strong binding force and a continuous draining ability. Xiao Lin struggled left and right inside, but he couldn't break free no matter what he did. Instead, his soul power was being consumed rapidly.

Lin Mo watched from behind and saw Xiao Lin struggling in the vortex of flames. He knew it was time to stop.

The specific effects of the skill have been tested to a near certain extent. If they continue, Xiao Lin might really suffer a serious injury.
