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

Lin Mo raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Sensing his command, the little dragon inhaled sharply, and the vortex of flames that had trapped Xiao Lin quickly dissipated into the air.

The flames subsided, revealing a somewhat disheveled Xiao Lin inside.

His clothes had many burn marks, his exposed skin was red, and there were even blisters in some places. His hair and eyebrows were also curly and emitting wisps of white smoke.

He was panting heavily, his face showing not only pain but also disbelief.

He raised his head, his wolf-like eyes fixed on Lin Mo, "What... what's going on? Your little fire dragon clearly didn't get a second soul ring!"

How could you possibly unleash such a powerful fire-based soul skill? This is definitely not the Spark you, Little Fire Dragon, previously possessed!

Lin Mo walked up to him and explained, "Don't get excited, this isn't a new soul skill."

Recently, Charmander has improved his control over his flames considerably, so he's figured out some new ways to use them.

He pointed to the little dragon beside him, which was happily wagging its tail, seemingly quite satisfied with the skill's effect:

"For example, the one just now was a new way to use the Spark skill."

It is essentially still a spark, only its form and application have changed, forming a flame vortex that can trap enemies.

You can think of it as... a new, self-created soul skill.

He paused, then added, "However, judging solely from its effectiveness in trapping the enemy, it appears to be quite outstanding."

After explaining, Lin Mo subconsciously focused his attention and looked at the little fire dragon, where he saw the panel that only he could see.

[Martial Soul: Little Fire Dragon]

[Talent: Flame Emperor]

[Soul Power: Lv19]

[Mastered Soul Skills: Claw, Roar, Spark, Smoke Screen, Dragon Pulse, Dragon Dive, Flame Charge, Metal Claw, Molten Body, Dragon Breath, Flame Fang, Flame Vortex]

After its soul power reached level nineteen, the little fire dragon naturally learned a new skill, "Flame Fang".

This skill is simple and brutal: it involves attaching flames to the teeth to bite the enemy, and the effect is quite good.

As for "Flame Vortex," just as Xiao Lin had personally experienced, it can trap opponents in a flame vortex, making it a very useful control-type soul skill.

This is a small breakthrough in skills that Charmander showed some time ago.

However, this technique was not very stable before, and it was only recently that I gradually mastered it to the point that it could be clearly recorded by the panel.

Just like his self-created soul skill "Blood Burst," it was a skill he mastered through continuous practice and comprehension, rather than something granted by a soul ring.

……

After hearing Lin Mo's explanation, Xiao Lin ignored the burning sensation on his body and stood there dumbfounded, his mouth slightly open.

At the academy, they did hear the teacher briefly mention the concept of "self-created soul skills" during class.

However, almost every teacher, when discussing this topic, generally advises that these low-level Soul Masters not to spend a lot of time and energy researching self-created Soul Skills at this stage.

The teachers explained the reason very clearly: it was a thankless task.

Developing your own soul skills requires extremely high talent, a lot of time, and repeated trial and error. The process is very tedious and slow, and it can easily delay your own soul power cultivation, making it a losing proposition.

Instead of wasting time on that, it's better to explore the potential of the soul skills granted by your soul rings. This way, improving your strength is not only simpler and more direct, but also much more efficient.

Moreover, even if they spent a lot of time researching and developing their so-called self-created soul skills, the effects of these self-created soul skills might not necessarily satisfy them.

Definitely a useless product!

But right now... Lin Mo, this guy, not only cultivates his soul power at an alarming speed, but he also has the spare energy to create his own soul skills?

And the effects look so amazing?! Is this some kind of joke?!

While Xiao Lin was still in a daze, Lin Mo had already taken out a small jade bottle from his shirt pocket.

"Here, use this to wipe it off." Lin Mo handed the jade bottle to Xiao Lin. "This is a special ointment I mixed a while ago to treat burns. It works quite well."

Xiao Lin took the jade bottle blankly, looked down at the ointment inside, then looked up at Lin Mo, who had a calm expression, and was a little confused for a moment.

Seeing his expression, Lin Mo had no choice but to explain again: "Applying it to the burn can relieve pain and help with recovery, and it won't leave scars."

Xiao Lin seemed to come to his senses at this moment, and began to pour some of the ointment from the jade bottle and apply it to the burned areas on his body.

After the ointment was applied, a cooling sensation immediately followed, which significantly reduced the burning sensation at the wound site.

Judging from the feel of it, this is indeed an ointment specifically for treating burns.

Lin Mo's voice carried a hint of apology as he added, "This ointment is only for emergency treatment of minor burns."

You were seriously injured this time, and of course, it's my fault for acting impulsively and not stopping myself.

You'd better go to the college clinic and have that therapist take a look at you, so you don't end up with any lasting health problems.

Burns can be very troublesome if not treated properly.

Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Xiao Lin gave a wry smile.

He originally intended to use Lin Mo to put some pressure on himself, hoping to take this opportunity to break through the soul power bottleneck that had been hindering him for so long.

After all, high pressure and combat are good ways to improve soul power.

As it turned out, Lin Mo had already anticipated that he would come to him willingly.

They used him directly as a test subject for their self-created soul skill, and even prepared ointment to treat burns after he was injured.

That's very thoughtful!

Thinking of this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness; the gap between the two sides was simply too great.

Lin Mo and Little Fire Dragon seem to be much stronger than when they first entered the school.

He nodded, his voice a little muffled: "I understand, thank you for the ointment, I'll go to the infirmary now."

Seeing that he could move on his own, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I'll go back to class now. Thank you so much this time."

If anything seems amiss later, come find me immediately.

The thank you was heartfelt; Xiao Lin had done him a great favor by helping him verify the practicality of the Little Fire Dragon's Flame Vortex.

After saying that, Lin Mo had a thought and put the little fire dragon back into his body.

Lin Mo turned around and walked slowly toward the teaching building.

The exchange and subsequent handling didn't take too long; if we go back now, we should still be able to make it to the next class.

Xiao Lin stood there, watching Lin Mo's departing figure, feeling the burning sensation in his body that, although somewhat better, still caused a dull ache.

He sighed deeply, then started walking, limping, towards the college infirmary.
