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

Xiao Lin rushed to the infirmary, only to find someone he hadn't expected there.

Inside the infirmary, besides the school doctor An Qing whom he knew, Director Xue was also there.

An Qing wasn't surprised to see Xiao Lin here; this battle maniac was a regular at the infirmary.

He put down what he was holding, stepped forward, and asked. When he saw Xiao Lin's injuries, a clear look of surprise appeared in his eyes:

"Xiao Lin? Who did you spar with? You've gotten yourself into this state!"

Before Xiao Lin could answer, Director Xue glanced at Xiao Lin's injuries and had already guessed the whole story.

He asked with a slight smile, "What, you went to spar with Lin Mo again?"

Xiao Lin said dejectedly in a muffled voice, "Mm."

He had expected that he couldn't beat Lin Mo, but the defeat was so crushing that he found it hard to accept and needed some time to process the crushing loss.

As An Qing checked Xiao Lin's wound, her attention was drawn to the green ointment applied to the surface of the wound.

He raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, and said, "Oh? You've finally figured things out today? You actually know to treat your wounds first? That's quite timely emergency treatment."

Xiao Lin honestly explained the reason: "Lin Mo gave me the ointment. He said it was specifically for treating burns."

Upon hearing this, Director Xue was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing. "Goodness, the sparring hasn't even started yet, and you've already prepared medicine for your burns?"

This was calculated perfectly; you were going to suffer a crushing defeat at his hands.

An Qing, who was standing to the side, smiled, but quickly offered her opinion: "This ointment works quite well; your emergency treatment was timely."

However, he quickly looked down at Xue Sheng beside him and joked, "Old Xue, now that you're here, I'll leave this to you."

"When it comes to healing burns, your Snow Lotus Martial Soul heals much faster than mine."

Director Xue smiled helplessly, but didn't refuse: "Alright, it seems I was right to come to the clinic today."

Immediately, with a slight thought, a snow lotus quietly appeared in his hand, along with six soul rings of optimal soul ring ratio at his feet.

Soon, a green light that Xiao Lin had seen before landed on him.

Under the healing power of the Snow Lotus Martial Soul, the burning pain all over Xiao Lin's body disappeared instantly, and in just a few breaths, his injuries were almost completely healed.

After the treatment was completed, Director Xue put away her martial spirit and looked at Xiao Lin, asking the question that had been bothering her.

"Tell me, how did you get so badly injured this time? Lin Mo has been able to beat you in the past, but he rarely acts so recklessly."

"It has nothing to do with Lin Mo."

Xiao Lin shook his head helplessly. "It's my fault. I took the initiative to go to Lin Mo, hoping to use him to put some pressure on me and help me break through the bottleneck of level 17."

Lin Mo seemed to have anticipated my thoughts and directly used me to test his self-created soul skill...

"A self-created soul skill?"

Upon hearing this, Director Xue's eyes lit up immediately. "Tell me in detail, what was the process of your exchange like?"

An Qing, who was standing nearby, immediately perked up her ears and listened intently.

He had heard Xue Sheng mention that a remarkable new student had enrolled in the academy this year, and that person's name seemed to be Lin Mo.

Immediately, Xiao Lin described in detail how he was trapped by the strange vortex of flames, how he was unable to break free, and how his soul power was rapidly depleted.

It was specifically emphasized that the spirit rings under the little fire dragon's feet did not light up when the little fire dragon used this spirit skill! Hmm.

Xiao Lin became more and more excited as he spoke, and Director Xue's eyes also became brighter and brighter.

……

After all the afternoon classes were over, Director Xue and Xiao Lin went directly to the first-year classroom and waited for Lin Mo at the door of his class.

Lin Mo had just finished packing his things and walked out of the classroom when he saw Director Xue and Xiao Lin waiting outside, and he was stunned for a moment.

This scene inexplicably made him hallucinate the time back at Notting Academy when Tang San revealed information about his martial soul, leading to him being cornered at the classroom door by Yu Xiaogang and Dean Wang Zongchang.

However, before he could think further, Director Xue smiled and explained the purpose of their visit:

"Lin Mo, don't be nervous. I came to see you mainly because Xiao Lin heard about your newly developed... self-created soul skill?"

I'm very interested and would like to see it for myself.

Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. As long as they weren't there to cause trouble, that was good. He nodded and said, "Okay, Director Xue."

Afterwards, Lin Mo followed Director Xue and Xiao Lin to a relatively secluded sparring area within the academy.

Director Xue had his reasons for choosing this location.

Creating one's own soul skills is also one of the most important trump cards for a soul master, and its importance is no less than that of the soul ring skills that only the soul master himself knows.

Lin Mo was likely willing to perform in front of Xiao Lin because he trusted Xiao Lin's character and believed that Xiao Lin wouldn't gossip.

Out of a sense of responsibility as a teacher, Xuesheng felt it was his duty to help Lin Mo protect this secret.

However, he was unaware that neither Lin Mo nor Little Fire Dragon actually considered the "Flame Vortex" skill as a trump card that needed to be kept strictly secret.

Because the number of similar skills that the little fire dragon is born with far exceeds the imagination of normal soul masters.

You think this is my trump card? Actually, it's just one of the more practical skills I have.

Just like now, no one except Lin Mo himself knows what kind of effect the Soul Skill "Molten Body" truly bestowed upon Little Fire Dragon by its first Soul Ring has.

……

Reaching the center of the arena, Lin Mo subconsciously glanced at Xiao Lin, who was standing beside Director Xue. "Will Xiao Lin be the one testing me again?"

Xiao Lin's heart skipped a beat when Lin Mo looked at him, and he almost reflexively shrank back.

Director Xue saw Xiao Lin's reaction and couldn't help but laugh. "Lin Mo, don't look at Xiao Lin. He's terrified of you today."

"Now, use your self-created soul skill on me once, so I can experience its effects firsthand."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo summoned the little fire dragon without hesitation and gave it a command.

"Charmander, use Flame Vortex on Director Xue," Lin Mo gave the order directly.

Without the slightest hesitation, Charmander took a deep breath and exhaled a large, spinning, and rapidly expanding ball of intense heat.

This vortex, resembling flames, instantly enveloped Director Xue. Nothing could better convey the specific effects of a soul skill than experiencing it firsthand.

Director Xue nodded slightly, "The skill's power is quite good, and the binding force generated by the high-speed rotation of the flames is also very effective."

With this skill, even if you claim to be a control-type Soul Master in the future, probably few people will doubt you.

After the experience was completed, a not-so-powerful burst of icy blue soul power suddenly erupted from the surface of Director Xue's body, directly extinguishing the flame vortex.

"Woo..." Its skill was easily countered, and the little dragon lowered its head in disappointment. Lin Mo crouched down, patted its head, and comforted it:

"It's alright, Director Xue is a Soul Emperor, we're far behind. Once we get stronger, this move will be even more powerful."

The little dragon rubbed its head against Lin Mo's palm, and its mood improved somewhat.

Director Xue walked up to Lin Mo and said in a serious tone, "Lin Mo, your self-created soul skill is indeed very practical."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Even so, I still hope that you can focus your cultivation on soul power cultivation. I look forward to seeing you in the Soul Hunting Team at the end of next semester."

This is also why he came to find Lin Mo in person after learning from Xiao Lin that Lin Mo had created his so-called self-made soul skill.

He didn't want to see a student with exceptional talent neglect his own soul power cultivation because he was obsessed with researching self-created soul skills.

However, to his slight surprise, he could tell from the fleeting fluctuation of soul power on the little fire dragon that the soul power of the two of them must have increased again.

But he wasn't sure exactly how much it had improved.

You need to use a tool to test your soul power to determine your specific soul power level.

Lin Mo nodded and bowed to Director Xue: "Thank you, Director Xue. I will work hard in my cultivation!"

This was one of the key reasons why he chose to come to the Heaven Dou Intermediate Soul Master Academy.

With the help of the academy, he can obtain a spirit ring that matches his own martial spirit more safely, avoiding the risks of adventuring alone.

However, even someone as discerning as Xue Sheng would never have imagined that Lin Mo's soul power level had already reached level nineteen.
